Yeah, its a mix - but you can go into a category and then select Top Paid / Top Free. I dunno if its different in your version.

I like (For Android)
Google Goggles
Google My Tracks

+ Others that already been mentioned; Skype, Skymap, Angry birds...

Oh, get the LFS Dashboard!

I'm interested in this as well - please let me know if you find the models. I'm playing around with ANSYS and wind turbines, it should be fun to try the airflow around the LFS cars...

If you've got both your skinning program (photoshop/GIMP) open and LFS CMX Viewer open with the skin loaded at the same time you should be able to get the logos on with several attempts.

First do the top part of the sticker, save it. Load the skin on CMW Viewer to see if it loos ok. If not, readjust the skin and save. Reload on viewer. Once the top part is done - go for the bottom bit. Good luck!

The rest of the skin look pretty nice - good job!

Quote from Stefan8 :[...] in every server i try to connect it says host did not recieve udp packet...

Hi, welcome to the LFS and the forum. Too bad to hear that you're having trouble connecting. Going through this thread, what I understand is that since you can ping the master server the basic stuff seems to be working. The problem might lie with your router or your ISP as discussed here:

Quote from Calbond :Only a few servers come up for me and it wont let me on even if i use join specific host it loads until messages then says Host did not recieve UDP packet.

Quote from Victor :We've done a lot of research into reasons why that could happen but we could only conclude that either your router or ISP is having problem routing UDP packets. Some ISP's seem to block really tiny UDP packets for example. Others just don't like UDP at all, albeit temporary usually.

Check your firewall and router settings so that LFS is allowed to communicate via UDP packets. I'm not sure if in this case if the ISP is blocking the UDP packets...

Hopefully someone who knows about these will help you out. Good luck!

Hi, currently this sort of thing (adding cars into LFS) is not supported - furthermore we're not even allowed to talk about it here in this forum.

Just a heads up.

You can reinstall LFS at a different location and use the original vob files.

Always remember to back up the originals before you mess around with the game...

XR vob is attached. Unzip and save it in LFS/data/veh

You get CPW errors if you use Tweak in a normal server (I might be wrong).

You would get JOOS - CAR if you are using modded cars (.vob mods) online. Use the original vob and you'll be fine.

Its only supposed to be driven on when drivers are specifically directed by the active traffic management schemes [to ease congestion].



Quote :Hard shoulder. You MUST NOT use the hard shoulder for overtaking. In areas where an Active Traffic Management (ATM) Scheme is in force, the hard shoulder may be used as a running lane. You will know when you can use this because a speed limit sign will be shown above all open lanes, including the hard shoulder. A red cross or blank sign above the hard shoulder means that you MUST NOT drive on the hard shoulder except in an emergency or breakdown

Yellow Flag: (from wiki)
Quote :The solid yellow flag, or caution flag, universally requires drivers to slow down due to a hazard on the track

i.e. There is a crash ahead / slow car(s) on track / car stopped on track. You should approach with caution. Usually you are not supposed to overtake others when the yellow flag is shown; you might get penalized - but this rule is not enforced in public racing servers.


Blue Flag: (from LFS Manual)
Quote :It is a fundamental rule of motorsport and sim racing that when a driver receives a blue flag, this is to let the driver know that a faster car is about to overtake and put that driver a lap down.

i.e. A car is coming up to lap you - you should not block him. The servers usually have their variation for what you should do under a blue flag. Most of the time, you should hold your line whist the faster car should overtake you in a safe manner.

There are a couple of cars in LFS S1/S2 with turbo charged engines. The 3 demo cars do not have turbo.

You can get car setup tips from the LFS Manual. Basic Setup Guide and Advanced Setup Guide.

Have a look through the whole LFS Manual. You'll learn lot of new stuff!

Quote from Douzeh :You shud be avaible to enter someones car as a passanger and just relax and watch someone else drive

Press tab (click on the arrows on the map) to switch between other drivers (you'll be able to see other's driving with the cockpit/chase/tv views). However you won't be added as a "passenger" in to the car.

Quote :
What i think there shud be more maps for demo version, it can get abit booring when u just can play on 1 map.

As Jonathon mentioned, the demo is there to give you as taste of LFS. Its there to let you have a go and then tempt you to buy a S1/S2 licence. If there were more content, people might race in LFS for years and years without ever buying a licence.

Quote :Something like a "stunt" map which will be avaible for demo..but abit upgraded for license.

You can create your own Autocross layouts (or download cool ones that's already made by others). They are great fun! Some of the autocross objects were upgraded just a couple of months ago too! Autocross objects are disabled for demo licensed players. One of my favourite ones:

Quote :Car damage :

I think the damage model will be updated in the future. I cant find if Scawen mentioned this or if it is rumours - but there is likely to be "break-off" damage (i.e. parts of the car breaking off when you crash...).

Quote :Ramming :

Well... its better to get rid of the rammers! Try and race in well maintained servers (the ones that have mature admins who can kick of people who cause havoc).

Quote :It shud be a "Friends list" when u play multiplayer so u can join people right away ..

Oh, but there is one already!

You have to use the feature via LFSWorld. First of all, log into the LFSWorld and then from the LFS Desktop open "Online Racer Stats" (. Type in the friend's username that you want to add to the friends list. Say for example, "Scawen".

When you can see Scawen's stats - click on the Buddy Menu () and then on the first option: Add Scawen to your buddy list.

Now, from LFS Desktop, open Live Alert (). Under the first tab, "web alert", you'll see the people that you have added when they are online (i.e. Scawen is racing on South City TBO - Join). Say if you want to join in - just click on "join" and LFS will be launched and connected to the South City TBO server (you will need to have LFS Association setup).

Edit: Ahh, I type too slow.

Quote from The Very End :Yeah, it were in one of those test patch threads IIRC?

Here's that thread: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=74014

Worth a shot.

Although...
Quote from Scawen :I hope that there aren't TOO many places like that... I can't just switch on *everything* - that would include overhead power cables, some inaccessible buildings and would reduce frame rates.

Hope enabling these areas wouldn't result in a large FPS drop.

Don't expect a patch just for this though; if we're lucky it would be enabled in Scawen's version and released in a subsequent patch...

Keep ya fingers crossed!

Quote :An 11-year-old girl charged with criminal damage following disturbances in Nottingham has been given a referral order by magistrates.

The youngster, from Nottinghamshire, appeared before a court in the city where she admitted the offence, and a charge of attempted criminal damage.

She was arrested on Tuesday evening after smashing windows at a New Look store in the city and attempting to break windows at a Flannels store at around 11.30pm.

Here:

Quote from Flame CZE :I talked about it with Victor once... and he said Rockingham would not have reversed configs, I don't know about the open configs though, they were not introduced yet at that time.

Maybe they wont be supported "official", i.e. hard-coded like the current reverse configurations for other tracks [maybe its to do with the agreement with Rockingham (if there is any?)]. But still it would be possible to drive via the autocross system - and with the use of Airio track PBs/AIRWs etc.

However, it would be a shame if the autocross and/or open configs were disabled in Rockingham...

Did you restart the host (I'm not sure, but you might need to restart the host for it to take effect).

And I think (again, I'm not sure) even if you set mode=S2, if all others options are playable with a S1 licence (S1 cars/tracks/ etc. and max guests?/cars on track?) the host will be S1...

Nothing wrong with that, is there, since S2 licence holders will be able to join and race there anyway?

If you enable a S2 car (say the UF1000), the host will be S2-only.

Hi, it would help if you stated the car you have in mind? XRT? FZ5?

Oh, and do a quick search (if you've not done so already), chances are someone might've already made one.

Indeed it is; there is even a thread here where your clips would be seen by those who are interested in it: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=37853

If you've not noticed it yet - This section is dedicated for LFS-movies only.

FYI, your previous video has been moved from this section as well.
