Why you shouldn't ask to have your skin uploaded
Another really good reason to manage the uploading of your skins yourself:
The person whom you entrust to upload your skin could upload ANY old file without you knowing it, just as long as the filenames match.
So while your screen is showing you your skin, and you think you're driving around looking like this:
You could actually be seen by everyone else online as:
...and the only one not in on the joke would be you.
If you're a demo player, and looking good matters to you, then it really is worth going here and paying the meagre £3 for a shed-load of skin slots.

You'll have 6Q and like it, young man! It'll put hairs on your chest!

Not really sure where I was going with this...
This is what happens when they leave me to do my own thing.
The RGB sliders are there - all that's needed is 0-255 values displayed next to each of them.
Then it's the responsibility of your team to upload the skin themselves. In other words, the person who will be using it.
Popughini: check out 1.5 and 1.6 in the LFS Forum Rules of Conduct.
If you are reporting a crasher or hacker on a server that you were driving on, you need to go to that server's website directly - if they have one. Posting in this forum won't achieve anything as you can't guarantee the server admins will see it at all. The server's website can usually be found in the introduction text when you join the server, or you can sometimes find it by typing !info in the chat.
If you are reporting a post on this forum, you want to click on the little blue triangle with the exclamation mark in the top right corner of the offending post, then write a short explanation to the moderator explaining why the post is offensive.
edit: I should add that, in the case of driving incidents, it's always a good idea to have a saved replay of the incident to attach as proof when posting your complaint.

Any discussion on encouraging the perpetuation of piracy in any form is not allowed on this forum.
Agreed that some are only expressing sadness - that's fair enough - but the rules also state that offensive language and insults - not to mention languages other than english - are also expressly forbidden.
Most of the hashtag-spamming threads full of Portuguese swearing should have been deleted as spam as soon as they appeared. Simple as that.

I can't believe this thread is still going - there is no way to justify cracked servers without that person making themselves sound like a self-entitled elitist. If you can't do it without insulting the intelligence of others, you can't do it.
That, and the fact that any discussion that encourages the perpetuation of piracy in any form is not allowed on this forum. Where the hell are the moderators in all this?

As an example; AC uses a zero-point reference for its physics calculations - the further you get from the zero-point, the less reliable the physics calculations get, which is what dictates the maximum size for their circuits.
I don't know for sure, but if LFS operates along similar lines, then there's the reason why it can't work without significant fundamental changes to the engine. It would need to be a completely different game engine, and made in a way that no-one else has thought of yet.
No small task...
Funny how they don't play official LFS, but as soon as they have a problem they're more than happy to come to the official forum to cry about it.
It's good though - the list of people for potential bans from our servers is growing very nicely.

It's not just a game - LFS is life
Maybe if you didn't crack LFS the cost of it could be distributed more evenly across all of its users.
But no - you come here and complain about a problem that you yourself contribute to. You come here and flout the forum rules, and have the impudence to demand respect. You won't get it from anyone here.

Hard to know if this is the guy in the video, but the guy in the video, Fafarafa, is definitely on a cracked copy of LFS.
Also, some of the worst driving I've seen in a long time. If they drive like that IRL, they are going to end up as a truck radiator laminate.

If he supplies you with the skin file, and you put the jpg in the LFS/data/skins folder, and it has exactly the same name as the one he's uploaded to LFSW, then yes, it will work without problems.
btw: You don't need to buy skins - there are hundreds (thousands?) of free skins in the Finished Skins thread - most of the latest skins in there have been uploaded, but you may have problems with some of the older ones - some may still be hosted, some may not - but your friend could re-upload those too, if he were so inclined...

Have you tried running the Profiler at the same time as you run LFS? I find I have less problems (ie, none) when I leave the profiler running - not just with LFS but with other sims as well.
This is the official LFS site - if you want skins for unofficial mods, you'll need to go to an unofficial modding forum.
It is forbidden to discuss mods here.

Full throttle off the line works for RWD cars, as the car's weight transfers to the rear under acceleration, but that's a bad thing for FWD.
Mekaza: Slipstreaming is also a very important part of these tests - that's the key to catching the car in front each time.
lol'd at driving-the-wrong-way-guy!

I applaud your sense of enterprise, MKRYDR.
But there is a problem... Once someone uses your skin on a server, that skin is saved to the local drive of everyone else who sees it, and from there can be reused and redistributed by anyone with a DDS plugin for photoshop, gimp or whatever they wish to use.
There's just no way to enforce a pay-to-use financial model in LFS.
Your best target-market would be the skin request section, a lot of which are real-life liveries, but every so often there are requests to outfit new teams and the like, and some of them are open to the idea of payment in some form or other.
Good luck

Nice work there, but for future reference, skin threads go in this section.
Did you really just bump a 6-year-old post just to tell us that it was posted 6 years ago?
