I'm quite surprised here. From another thread:
Quote :[...]fed up with the cheating.

How many cheaters have you seen over last few (5) days - so much so that you think playing online is no use?

Demo servers - yes, there are users who use cheats/hacks because, hey, you can create another account if one get banned.

But in S1/S2 servers - people rarely cheat (not saying that everyone is clean), because their licence account might get banned from that server (+others) if evidence is brought up against them.

Quote :vicious circle of admin verses hacks

Care to elaborate on this? Is it really that bad out there in multi-player mode?

Well, to begin with the multiplayer mode is not quite suitable when you're just getting into the sim. Take one car one track and get used them in single player mode. A good start would be either of the demo cars at Blackwood Grand Prix.

Yes - the AI has its limitations, but what you can do is simply add one AI and race against it. At least try to keep up as you progressively increase its difficulty level to the highest.

Pop into a well administrated demo server (AirAttack, Redline Racing etc.) and see how the top guys are driving. Join in once you think that you're not a hazard for other drivers. Sure, you may drive/race safely in close quarter in real life - but it takes time to get used to everything in LFS.

From the sounds of things (people crashing into you, a lot!) it seems like you may have been trying out not so well administrated servers - or you simply might have joined in at a bad time. Continuous bad driving will not be tolerated in the "good" servers.

There aren't many S1/S2 servers (as far as I know) that will be any good to you until you get used to the cars and learn the different tracks. That's why I suggested the demo combo - there's always plenty of servers and drivers in Bl1 with the demo cars. But demo being demo, it all depends on server (and if any admins are connected at that time to oversee any wreckers).

Once you get used to everything - it takes you to a whole new level. Un-installing LFS at this point is a shame.

Don't worry about the axis (axes might be recognized differently for various controllers). Simply click on "steer" and then the "Y-axis" - doing that should assign the wheel to steer function.

---

Nothing happens when you press the brake/accelerator?

Can you configure/calibrate the hardware - maybe with Window's Control Panel > Game Controllers?

If its still not recognized - you might have to reinstall it. Have you got the the correct drivers for your Window's operating system (I'm assuming you've got Windows).

---

Edit: Someone else has brought up the same issue couple of years back: maybe the wheel only has a steering axis and "buttons" for the brakes and accelerator.

Quote from Cimanu :When i go to assign an axis for my pedals, i move the wheel and Y axis moves but move the pedals and nothing happens :S They only work on button mode...which is horrible to drive with.
The wheel is fine but just this problem with pedals, I'm using a Logic3 PSU448.

Hi, welcome to the LFS Forum!

You can find more info about setting up your wheel in the LFS Manual:
http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Options#Setting_up_the_wheel

The following animation describes how to assign a function to an axis.

Hello and welcome!

You can find some of that information under the relevant section in the LFS Manual: http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Autocross

The page don't seem to be updated after the recent patch. So, to select "reverse", when you're in the "X" configuration, simply go the track selection screen (click on "track" just below "garage" and the track map.). Now you can select normal / rev. Although when you're using normal / reverse configuration, you'll have to press "CTRL" to be able to select "X" or "Y".

Once you get used to the track configuration abbreviations, you can directly type in "/track=bl1", "/track=as7Y" to change track [in single player mode or when admin on multi-player mode].

This is hardly a big company. Only 4 four people are directly involved with it, as far as I'm aware - and LFS isn't likely to be their only source of income!

Maybe there is a better better explanation why they seem to be ignoring the messages.

At least no ones else seems to be using your account [online].

If you haven't already checked, here a list of hosts that the account has recently connected to:
http://www.spdoracing.com/eventdb/driver/David989898/hosts

The account haven't been online since 23 August. Try this link from time to time to see if anyone has been using it - unfortunately you won't be able to do anything much about it.

I hope you hear from LFS Tech soon.

I'm sure they do read the emails. However, I expect there might be something odd with your account (i.e. misuse) which might explain why they may seem to be ignoring it.

You still haven't answered the question - What is your licensed account username?
Silverracer

What's your licensed account username?

Have you checked if its being used online?

Have you given out your username and password to someone else? If an account is unlocked from various places from around the world it might be banned for misuse. Of course, you would be notified about it - but since you've lost your email address as well...

When was your S2 account stolen? You've been using the "Er.Kevin" account online frequently over the last couple of months...

To see if anyone else is using your stolen licensed account online: check it's online history in the spdo database:
http://www.spdoracing.com/eventdb/driver/Er.Kevin/hosts
Instead of the "Er.Kevin", enter you licensed account and try the link.

Good luck sorting it out.

Hopefully its not the fuses.

Well, you can do a small test.

Go to single player - and make a small replay for us.

Type 3 in the chat box (so we can see what key that you're going to use), and then press 3 to turn on the lights. Pressing 3 will turn on the lights (headlights + brakes lights will turn on, but not as bright as when you brake).

Type 9 in the chat box and then press 9 to turn on the hazard lights.

Shift to reverse gear (to check the reverse lights).

Save replay and upload as an attachment and we'll have a look if they seem to be working.

And, are you using a current LFS version? i.e. Patch 0.5 Z or Patch 0.6 B?

Does other lights work - brake, reverse and turn signals (keys - 7,8, and 9)?

Does the lights (headlights and all other lights) work in the XRG?

If it is a customized skin you will have to upload the skin to LFSWorld so others can see it. As thisnameistaken mentioned, as a demo-licensed racer, by default you are not allowed to upload skins (S1 licence holders get 25-skin upload slots, and S2 licence holders get 50). However, as a demo licensed racer you can buy additional slots using the "increase" link on LFSworld's My online car skins (this was added something like a year or so ago).

Even if that is a posibility, personally I would buy a S1 licence (and get 25 complimentary skin upload slots).

If you only want you friend to see the skin, thisnameistaken's suggest would be the best.

Can not access any of your links.

Quote :Forbidden

You don't have permission to access on this server.



Edit:
The Fluffy Bunnies individual skins are attached below, just save them into your /lfs/data/skins folder. The hi-res version (2048*2048) is attached here and the skins are already uploaded to LFSWorld.

Good luck!

You can race with us when we race at demo servers. You wont be able to connect to licensed servers, but we can connect to demo servers and race.

It'll take a while to get used to everything and to get up to speed. Get practicing!

Quote from Marin2 :Yeah, i unlocked the demo game, but i can't acces nothing accept Blackwood and 2 cars and bmw formula!?

Thats the way it is supposed to be. Did you have a look at the links I posted earlier?

Demo licence = only a bit of content.

Only you pay and buy a S1 or S2 licence you'll be able to unlock other track environments and cars.

Well, simply put - when you try out the "demo" you get 3 cars and Blackwood. You need to unlock LFS with your username and password (which you already did) in order to access the demo content.

However, you need to buy a S1 licence or S2 licence to access the other cars and tracks (and other features that are only for licensed racers).

These are the content that you will get for demo/S1/S2:
http://www.lfs.net/?page=contents

In order to buy a S1 or S2 licence, you can visit:
https://www.lfs.net/?page=shop

After you buy a licence, you can unlock LFS S1 (or S2, depending on what you buy) to access the specific content.

Hopefully we'll see you on track soon!
