Hi Daniel. As Dustin mentioned there are no additional cars to be downloaded.

The cars (and tracks) found in LFS S2 can be found here:

Hi, have you tried LFS's hotlapping function?

Your online lap times are quite close to the world records! You might be able to have a LFS World record if you try.

You can find more info about it here: http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Game_modes#Hotlapping

As The Very End mentioned, keep an eye out. You will be sent a PM on LFSForum (not to your e-mail) if you have been selected for a license voucher code.

Good luck with hotlapping!

Hello, there are third party mods which, as you've mentioned, sort of replace the bodyshape of the "original" LFS cars. Some of these mods have been noted for being buggy during gameplay. There is some suspicion that the downloadable content (which can be downloaded from numerous websites) contains malicious software. So be wary.

As far as I know, discussion of this topic is not allowed and the LFS's developers do not support this kind of mods.

The LFS's cars are those that you see here: http://www.lfs.net/?page=contents

Quote from r3zp3k7 :
I tried to help there...

Thanks. I was mistaken. Will update the colour soon.

@Frunze118 check r3zp3k7's previous post. It depends on km, and not time (as in a specific amount of time in hours, months or years).

If you have a lot of online-driven distance (say 50,000 km) and you are very active - you might get a voucher [just an example].

Quote from Frunze118 :What time minimum to get voucher ?

If by time you mean your lap times - you would stand a chance if it was very close to the world record (WR) lap times. But please note that these times have to be set in LFS' Hotlap mode and uploaded to LFSWorld...

Quote from r3zp3k7 :BTW: I suggest you check this guy from the list, waiting for vouchers..

As you see, he managed to get S2..

If by "you" [above] you meant me:
That user didn't get a voucher through this competition (at least not through me). He might have bought it on his own or by some other means...

Hi, did you calibrate the wheel properly at install?

Sounds like you might have set handbrake to axis. In Options > Controls > Wheel/Joystick - set Handbrake to "button". Set throttle/brake axes to "seperate" as BMXtwins pointed out.

Anyway, you can find more info on the LFS Manual: http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Options#Setting_up_the_wheel

Are you using the Logitech Profiler to launch LFS?

Can you identify the axes (the moving yellow bar) when you press the pedals, as shown in the LFS Manual?

Quote from Frunze118 :AHAHAHA I must play 7 years not bad

Hmmm, what do you mean?

If you are referring to the following point,
Quote :Active player (if you've played a lot in 2005 and haven't touched since, you might not stand a chance)

it does not mean that you have to play for 7 years to win a voucher.

If that statement causes confusion for non-English speakers, I'll edit it out soon.

Anyway, more vouchers up soon. Get decent demo racers to post here to stand a chance to get a voucher code!

There are LFS users who are not active on LFS Forums (compared to those who check back hourly, daily, weekly and monthly). They might have bought/played LFS a while back and haven't played for a few years... They're likely to come back to the forums and inquire about elusive VWS, RO and S3. Probably not the best thing to bite their heads off about not being up-to-date about LFS' progression.

Of course then theres the occational troll who will start a similar topic simply to stir up a sh!tstorm.

I use 450 when racing (road cars). But there are those who race 720+ with H-shift and manual clutch and still go on to win...

720-900 when cruising as I find it more enjoyable experience.

Many thanks TVE!

As you can read above, TVE's sponsoring a number of vouchers - so get dedicated demo/S1 racers to sign up to the forum and make a post in this thread to win a voucher!

Thankfully, other sponsors have shown an interest, so there might be more vouchers to be won!

If you have already posted - good luck!

Mikki, its not doubled - its just that in the first post the milage is stated in miles (not kilometers). Your current LFSW online driven distance stands at 29687 miles. But don't worry - before vouchers are sent out again the driven distance will be updated and recent online activity will be checked by myself.

xGabrielx - thank you for your interest.

Sadly my sponsor(s) are very quiet - so no vouchers for a while, I'm afraid.

It depends on their skin-download settings.

Low res car skins (default settings) will download other players skins at 512x512 (even if you've uploaded at 1024x1024).

Hi-res car skin downloads are a premium option which is charged at £1 for each 2000 skins that you download. For hi-res skin downloads to work you need to have a positive balance on your LFS account.

Click on LFS' Options > Misc > Car skins download > 1024 for more info.

Its probably due to the server outage as mentioned above. For some peace of mind - check out the online activity for your account; were you the one connecting to all these servers? Or do you think your account as been compromised?

Note: since LFSWorld is down spdo site probably won't be updating either.

Although there might be a way to do it using external applications, as far as I know it is not possible.

In LFS there isn't a way to set a button for throttle/brake and use an axis for the other.

It has to be both button or both axes.

Remove one of the extra "/"s.

From the LFS Manual:
Quote :
  • The / is required at the start of the configuration directive (LFS basically treats the cfg file the same as an argument)
  • Two //'s are a comment

i.e. "/pass=rx7" and NOT "//pass=rx7"
Silverracer

In your dedicated host's config file set a password in the line;
/pass=Pass :if required - password

i.e. "/pass=tiny"
Any who wants to join in must enter "tiny" before connecting to your hosts.

Hope that helps.

Edit: Oh, and if you are connected as an Admin - you can simply type "/pass=tiny" to set a password (where tiny is the password in this example).

Yes, yet another one - but maybe good enough until Euro Truck Simulator 2 is out?

Beta gameplay - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmiZtp6_cQU

Anyone tried it out yet?

The 30 day global ban is an effective way of keeping wrong-doers out of LFS's servers.

The 30 day ban is triggered when you are banned 15 times (within a 30 day period). You get a warning (email/message) when you are banned 10 times (or more) that you are likely to get a global ban (if you are banned again in the near future).

Join and race in servers with mature people/admins - not where li'l kids can ban you all day long.

Hello, flash 58. Thank you for your post (re-post). I have already made a list of people who have posted in this thread - there is no need to post again. As soon as a sponsor comes forward people who are deemed deserving will be contacted via PM with regards to a voucher.

It would be much easier for you to learn how to make use of those Master Skinnerz wireframes.

Any wireframe would have layers; at least two for the FBM base skin and the wireframe.

The MS kits have certain body parts (front, sides, spoilers etc.) set on different layers - which actually makes it very easy to skin once you get the hang of it...

What's the image editting software that you use to skin? Photoshop? GIMP?

Either way, it wouldn't take a long time to get used - and once you do; you'd go a long way in making decent skins...

Edit: There's some info about layers in this post that you might find useful
