I know 10 players who would like to license and who deserve it, and play from the start lfs

Ask them to make a post here too; they might have a chance to win a license.

Quote :

it would be to enter the server and ask who rides purely without incident,Then you will have greater assurance that they will get people who deserve.

Yes, but this method is sadly not that practical. And yes, there are so many great deserving demo racers - we just don't have the funds to buy licenses to all of them...

Thanks to another kind racer, there are a couple of S1 licenses to be won. If you meet (or is close to meeting) the stated criteria in the opening post of this thread feel free to make a post to win a license.

To those who are reading this and know fast, decent and eligible racers, please guide them to this thread.

I almost think you guys should save 1-3 vouchers and put them into a small 3-4 race league competition

Quote from Markus88 :

What a glorious idea, let us race for it!

Sadly, I don't have time to organize. And I think some (deserving) drivers will loose out (time differences / other commitments etc.) if this turned in to a "race for a license" competition.

I believe there are a number of such competitions in various LFS communities - so if you are willing to donate a license, you can contact those organisers (I think AA is running one at the moment - kudos to them). This "competition" is aimed at rewarding drivers who have been with LFS for a while (online driven distance-wise), reasonably fast and [hopefully] have a recent reputation.

Eeehhhh

Sorry, a bit of confusion on my part. Check back on this thread (or PM) to see who's won the latest round of vouchers.

Quote from Si Mclaren :

ISo no advantage or disvantage...

You'd have more time (reflexes) to handle the faster cars.

i.e. I keep banging off the walls in SO in the BF1. If I could slower gameplay, I would be able to set a faster time in that combo. I'd say that would be a quite an advantage if it was possible.

Thanks mate - you've made a number of racers quite happy!

until dawn broke

I don't think there is a way to view all the driver names either.

But you might be able to find a few (at least one) by doing a bit of searching.

i.e. if the user connected to an Airio server, their last used driver name would be saved and accessible via the user's LFSEI overview page;

http://stats.airio.eu/EXD.aspx?U=superstix

I do wonder if airio saves all the "nicknames" as seen in the page, or simply overwrites it...

Quote from CSU1 :

We need SOME sort of anti-cheat in place (or at very least an update to show anti-cheat progress).

As Dennis pointed out in the other thread, if you spot an exploit or have proof of hacking/cheating - let the devs know. Also get in touch with the server owners (cargame.nl if you saw hackers his servers, etc.) so appropriate action could be taken.

At least then you know that the Devs are aware of the specific cheat/hack and that the server owner(s) are likely to ban the user(s) form their servers (assuming there is enough evidence to warrant a ban).

Publicising a cheat/hack that you see in a server in the LFS Forum is probably not a good thing since others might attempt to use the exploit themselves.

Just saying "What is being done to counter current exploits?" won't do much good.

Quote from CSU1 :

Damn cruisers have ruined this sim - every last one of them hacks el wacko-hacko style

Ok.

Quote from cargame.nl :

What the f. is this about. You are banned where, how and what does that E. quote has to do with it?

Was seen wrecking in cruise servers earlier, resulting in a ban(s). That probably triggered the LFS global ban causing his account to be locked out from online gameplay.

Not quite sure what he was up to in all these servers, but thats quite a varied online history.

From what I've read in the forums LFS does give out a warning before the account gets globally banned.

Appaling behaviour and logic from the OP.

Ah, yes, I was talking about the size of the original download and not the size after it was installed.

Quote from matijapkc :

Btw, what you just said confirmed my claim.

But still the quoted text below doesn't make any sense.

Quote from matijapkc :

The first "copy" of LFS I had was demo only, so I had to download the official S2 version to be able to use all the cars/tracks.

*pokes scamps* What's going on down under? From where did you download LFS?

Quote from J@tko :

6'11" DEFINITELY isn't 183cm

It says 6' 1" (which is around 184 cm), unless the question has been altered recently.

Quote from jrd.racer :

Oh crap I mis-read. I thought it said Tallest since start of F1.

The question has been edited: when I first read it (after you made your first post) it didn't say "shortest" since they were talking about tallest drivers, I thought they were talking about the tallest out of those given too...

Anyway, no idea who's the shortest either.

Hello and welcome

You need to save the replay first. Press the "2" key to save the replay (you will be prompted to name the replay file).

You can select to view a replay by clicking on "replays" on the main screen and then selecting the replay that you want to view.

Once the replay starts running you can hit the spacebar to pause/play. More keys can be found on the LFS Manual.

To show/hide the HUD/on-screen info toggle shift+F.

To play around with the camera views etc., use shift+U and use on-screen menu (shift+U menu can be shown/hidden by pressing the spacebar).

You guys could always chip in for more vouchers.

The link in Bob's signature works for me (http://www.vehicle-analyser.com/)...

As does the same link in the first post:

Visit program website - 06/10/08

However, Flame's dropbox link in the first post don't seem to work (the 404 you're getting)...

Quote from PoVo :

You need 35,000 miles driven online according to the first post.

Yes, but it also says the following;

Quote :

Please note that simply meeting the criteria would not guarantee a voucher and I might give away to one who don't meet the requirement, but who I think is close enough to deserve it.

And some racers who've got vouchers didn't have 35000 km (I think).

But Hakseli90, there are a number of those who have also posted that stand a better chance of getting a voucher from CheerioDM.

You don't need to post repeatedly (you are already on the list) - I check stats of those who have posted here to see if they're still active.

Don't depend on getting a voucher and save up to buy a license!

Two people who have posted here have since gotten S2 on their own. Hope they're enjoying LFS!

Quote from Franky.S :

i want da s2 plz, tnx

:nol2:

Quote from matijapkc :

The first "copy" of LFS I had was demo only, so I had to download the official S2 version (demo has ~350MB and S2 has like ~550MB, maybe even more) to be able to use all the cars/tracks.

Rubbish. S2 is 135MB (or in that region). Its in demo mode to begin with; you just have to unlock it (S1/S2) to use licensed content. No more additional downloads required for licensed content.

350-500 MB?! From where do you download LFS?

Of course, there are third party additions (hi-res packs, skins etc.) but you dont need those to be able to access S1/S2 content.

Quote from Draconious :

[...]then by the end of the 3rd lap it was almost 2 minutes ahead,

Did you mean 2 seconds? Something is very wrong if there was a 2 minute difference by the 3rd lap!

Re-opened the competition with a number of vouchers set to be sent out for deserving racers - thanks to CheerioDM!

Please read the first post for more info.

Pass the word!

Quote from HYPNTK :

Hope its ok if its in single player though.

Yeah, that should be alright - in single player you have to press 1 to save replay (as opposed to pressing 2 in multi player).

Hello Nick!

There are loads of similar threads and all sorts of tips that one could do to improve their lap times - you could do a simple search on the forum and come across a few.

You can also have a look at this stickied thread which contains loads of useful info - Driving Tips.

However, to get the best tips from the fast(er) drivers it might be best to post a replay of your racing (hopefully one with a few clean laps). If you are not aware, you have to enble recording the replay (Options>Game>Multiplayer Replay Save>Enabled) and then after an online race you have to press the "2 key" and enter a name to save the replay. The replay will be saved in /lfs/data/mpr and you could directly upload it to the forum when you reply...

Good luck with getting your pb down to 1.33s or less!

Are you sure you haven't acquired some dodgy modified copy of LFS?

scamps - From where did you download LFS?

If it was from an unoffcial site, it might be wise to log in to www.lfs.net and make sure you change your GAMEpass and WEBpass...

In the LFS Entry screen (http://upload.lfsmanual.net/images/d/d0/Main.jpg) instead of "unlock live for speed S2", does it say S2 license: scamps?
