  • Finished more than 1000 races

Pls.

2007. My flatmate's classmate was having a go on LFS during a lesson which got my flatmate hooked. He came home, downloaded LFS, showed me what it was all about and the rest is history.

Played on his laptop the the first time; drove out of pits in BL1 in the XFG (using kb, mind you), past turns 2/3 and by the time I was braking down the long straight I knew this is what I was waiting for all these years...

Keyboard to Logitech Momo to G25 to G27. 130,000+ Miles and still loving LFS.

Met hundreds (if not 1000s) of great people online over the years and had countless hours of fun.

Hallelujah for the devs/lfs-ers!

From the LFS Manual;

Quote :Meeting room: When you click the meeting room button a chat window will be displayed above the serverlist. This allows you to meet other racers and arrange races or just chat a bit. Like in IRC there are a few commands you can use:

/find [username] – will show if the user is online at the moment just like the 'Find User' button.

/users – will show how many users are online at the moment.
/hosts – will show how many hosts are online at the moment.
/me [text] – displays an action of yourself.
/leave – closes the chat just like the 'Leave' button.
/help – shows a list of all chat commands.
/demo - shows old and new demo servers.


I've used it and I think it should be there (as opposed to the feature being removed).

For it to be recognised in the game screen it should be read in your operating system first (Windows?).

What you could try is to reinstall drivers for the MOMO and see if it helps.

You can download the drivers from the Logitech site.

(try the following link and go to downloads; I'm not sure, but you could probably find the drivers for your wheel by selecting your operating system and some other essential details. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/game-gear/320?)

Was this wheel functioning properly until now? Or are you trying it out for the first time?

When you plug it in to the port does it calibrate on its own (wheel turns to left lock and then right lock)?

Are you sure that its got a working power supply?

If someone is eligible to win a voucher, based on the criteria shown on the first post, they are contacted via PM on the forum. If all is well, they are sent a voucher code.

There are other users in this forum who look at those who post, and if they haven't "won" a license yet, send them a voucher code. This is completely unrelated to the competition. But by posting here, people who have played for a years get noticed...

And other times, Cheerio likes to give away vouchers as he pleases to random people or ones that are hand-picked by himself. These too, are unrelated to this competition.

Just wanted to clear that out as Theodu and some other didn't get the vouchers based on their stats, but rather due to Cheerio's random acts of generosity...

Hi and welcome!

You can have a go - but there are already a load of drivers who have already posted their LFS stats and way ahead of you. So you have a whole load of catching up to do...

Don't worry about catching up and all that just yet. Get used to LFS and racing online with other people. Watch the LFS hotlaps and try to improve your pb.

In the meantime save a penny here and pound there and you'll have enough to buy a license soon enough!

Good luck and have fun!

Quote from bornja666 :Total stats:

Hi and welcome to the LFS Forum!

Please read the first post of this thread; it includes some details about who is eligible to win a voucher. Unfortunately (at the moment) you are not eligible and posting daily updates of your stats won't do much good...

Keep racing and enjoy!

In the meantime save up a bit and buy a license

Quit littering this thread.

Will have a few more vouchers up for grab soon. Any active demo racers with good stats?

This issue has been raised time and time again. Yes, the warning is there - but the average person is NOT likely to go through it. They're likely to hit uninstall and cause irreversible damage.

Any suggestions to make it idiot friendly?

Quote from dark-pl :[...]so don't ignore it.

Hi, I agree with you. This give away was thought up to attract more racers (specifically racers) since there seems to be a noticable reduction of new drivers.

What we are specifically looking for here are commited racers who have been racing quite a lot / have raced for a long time on LFS, who would really appreciate a S1/S2 voucher.

I used to give away vouchers to demo cruisers back when I was heavily involved in a certain cruise community. There have been others who give away vouchers in their own communities.

This thread is likely to continue giving out vouchers to those who are involved in LFS racing.

Select the XRT and leave pits.

Hit CTRL+A. When the car sound options come up, select Load and then from the sound list select XRT_defualt (or something like that, recalling from memory, I can't recall what's it called).

IF you are already using XRT default (having previously over-ridden the default XRT with the XRR sound), you might have to get the default XRT sound and place it in the relevant folder. If this is the case, let us know and someone will post the default XRT sound file.

I've seen it before as well. They usually time out after ages or appear elsewhere on track (the person lagging will be driving on normally).
