Some people set up the wheel wrongly (I mean not how it should be done in LFS).

I'm not sure if you have but maybe there is a clue in this thread:

https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/2112503#post2112503

With an instruction from Victor, I was able to import a new IP database and your last used IP now appears to be from LV, so I hope that means it will work correctly now.

OK... in my opinion, our table that relates IP ranges to countries is out of date (suppose a range of IP addresses originally assigned to Sweden, is now assigned to Latvia). I don't know how to refresh it, but I've asked Victor.

I hope he'll be able to have a look in the next day or two. Maybe it's something I can update in future.

Hi, it looks like your IP is really LV but for some reason the country code is worked out as SE.

I'll try to look into how this can happen.

Hi, no there is nothing like that.

There have been some security updates recently, but nothing has become inconvenient.

If you tell us the exact message you saw, we'll be able to help.

EDIT: It's probably just the unlock code, that takes around 1 minute to get and use, only has to be done once, and is described here:

Nice, thank you for doing that!

There will be a few more lines when the new graphical version is in testing (and a notification email will be sent).

Sorry, I had left this thread closed by mistake after moving it. Maybe it's best to ask on the thread you linked to when adding the extra information, and they can tell you how to set it up.

Your post seems to lack some information, as this is not a standard part of LFS. I guess it's some kind of addon. I don't think you are posting in the correct forum section. Maybe try technical assistance or the addon section, hopefully wherever you found the addon.

I'll move the thread to Technical Assistance section, but I suggest you add some more information.

By the way, the "Avoided multiple emails" message could come up if you entered your email too quickly after clicking "set new email address". It's not related to avoiding the storage of multiple email addresses, it is about avoiding sending emails too quickly.

That was due to a spam prevention, but it was overactive at that point, an oversight which I have now fixed.

But by the sound of things, that is not really the main issue encountered by ViorelP which is that the email address he wants to use is currently bound to a demo account, so that account needs to be deleted or its email changed.

EDIT: In that case, the relevant message is "The email address is already in use."

If you want to change the email on the demo account, it has to be a valid email so you can confirm the change.

If you don't want the demo account any more, you need to write to us using the contact us link. We'll need to reply to you on that email to verify that you are the genuine owner of the account to be deleted.

After the demo account is deleted then your email should be ready to use.

Maybe you are installing it in a bad place on your hard drive.

You should install to a simple location like C:\LFS

13 years ago, yes.

Thank you! I've made it live.

OK, I don't really have any tips, I only wonder when this started happening and if it is affecting other people in Brazil.

You can try switching it off, to see if for some reason it's faster from the Netherlands.

Do you normally have faster mod downloads? Sometimes there can a temporary issue between someone's ISP and our server, that may be resolved in a few hours or days.

No, my plan is to do as many things as possible that we'd like to do with it. I don't have a plan for when I can't work on it. Usually I like working on it but long periods of time every year dealing with hackers, crackers and attackers does start to make me wonder how long I want to go on.

But I actually need to keep earning money to live on and would rather do this than something else. So for now I'll keep on going as there's some cool stuff to release and work on after our coming release too. I don't really want to look too far ahead.

I'm only 53 and doing my best to stay alive.

I eat well, don't drink much, go for short runs, walk most days, even ride my bike a bit occasionally.

Trying to avoid accidental death too. Even bought a new ladder as the old one was a bit wobbly.

Accidents do happen and there may be unexpected illnesses but personally my focus is to avoid death wherever possible.

I know it doesn't really answer your question but it's the way I think.

To identify the account that uses your new email address, you can enter it on this page: https://www.lfs.net/loginreset and you will receive an email addressed to that user name.

It is the page for if you forgot your password. There's no harm in trying that.

What is your setting in:
Options - Misc - Allow regional downloads

From Brazil, if that option is "yes" you should be redirected to USA for the downloads, which is supposed to improve it compared with downloading from Netherlands.

Small update on details page:

When you click the link "send email with a new unlock code" if you do already have an unlock code it takes you to a page where you can choose:

• Send existing code
  
• Send a new code
  

And the 'success page' after clicking the button prevents you from accidentally generating more unlock codes and sending emails if you accidentally refresh the page.

Nice bug finding, I've corrected that now!

Although it is a relatively unexciting patch, the update is part of our story so I've added a news item.

Hello Mod Creators,

Here is a PATCH for the LFS Editor. Editor 0.7A or later must already be installed!

This is not a thread for random requests regarding the mods system.
For mods suggestions, use the Mods System Suggestions forum section.

This editor patch is a minor update to help support "track mods" and includes a few fixes.


Changes from 0.7F to 0.7G:

32 layers are now available + scroll bar and option to show all

LX4 - restored public version tyre size / mass / engine power
LX6 - restored public version tyre size

Improved vehicle view radius calculation (bounding sphere)
- LFS can more accurately detect if a vehicle is currently visible

LOD distance refers to distance from bounding sphere instead of object centre
- previous version did not work well for large objects, e.g. "track mods"

FIX: Rear caster angle can now be set in the base default setup
FIX: Avoided the jaggies on generated sky texture near the horizon
FIX: Error in moving subobjects after one made invisible by layers

NOTE: This version of the editor actually uses the "RETRO" tyre model
- this is not expected to result in any noticeable changes in the editor

Thanks for the report. I've fixed that email template now.

It lists the LFS Manual and says only to use the name and password on the 3 sites listed. And doesn't mention the merchandise shop.

Yes, fully compatible.
