Slight alternative to delis' suggestion, using layout editor, could you set multiple pit stop boxes or pit start point arrows, then just end race so all AI pit at same time in the (scenic) location you want?

The INSIM_VERSION was updated to 8 when LFS updated to 0.6T.

The cruise server insim you have is likely still using INSIM_VERSION 5, so there have been a few changes that may have broken the insim you downloaded.

If you understand the code, you can find LFS Insim documentation (InSim.txt) in the LFS\Docs folder.

Had to look up COTA to find out it's Circuit Of The America's, although I should have known that, as I follow F1. More used to it being called Austin grand prix.

Not sure what the problem is with having Indycar there - they don't have to use the full circuit, as used by F1. Looks like there are 3 different configurations. They could always use the simpler East layout, if full layout too technical.

Not a racing series you tend to see on tv in UK, so know little about it.

Not that long ago we were restricted to 800 objects!

Current quantity isn't really an issue, although I wouldn't argue if more available. Object colours and types is different.

I managed to make a few long skytracks - having to use concrete base rather than tracks or car parks.

One of these is 5000 m long - https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/88897

Another, at 7000 m long - https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/90755

I wasn't mean in putting details on these, so there's ample objects as you can see.

From the Autosport article -

"The new owners are yet to confirm what the future of the venue will be, but .. the group is looking to turn the venue into an automotive facility.

.. it is likely to become a storage facility for defleet cars, a testing venue and hold auctions"
Rockingham Update - Motorsport to cease after 2018
Rockingham Race Circuit Sold (Aug 2018)

According to Autosport and other news sites, Rockingham has been sold.

https://www.autosport.com/nati ... ture-uncertain-after-sale

Part of the news is "changes in business operations" and that all the fixtures for 2018 will go ahead, although nothing about beyond that.

The BTCC Touring Cars have dropped the circuit for next year.

Wonder what, if anything, this does to LFS's use of Rockingham as layout?

Lot of users don't like the screen cluttered up with any type of extraneous information like you are proposing

Not sure it's really a bug as the reverse configuration of a track will always be the same length as normal configuration.

I'm not totally sure, but when you ask lapper for this information, it could be that it looks in the trackList.cfg file, which only lists normal track configurations.

I've attached copy where I've added the reverse configurations.

Try that and see if your code works.

I use LFSLapper to do this, BUT ....

This will save top times for each car that you specify within the LFSLapper.lpr file, or each track that you use. However, when it comes to the AutoX courses, whichever layout you use, times will always be saved under AU1. This means every time you load a different AU1 layout, you would have to keep the database files separate.



I keep my layouts up for a while, so no big deal saving them, and re-loading if I put previously used layout back online.

Download one of the most recent LFSLapper releases, put it on your server, edit the default_1.ini file (with Notepad or similar) to add your server password, add your user name to admin.txt and superusers.txt file, and that's about it.

If you want, you can then edit the LFSLapper.lpr file to change the standard welcome message that people see when they visit your server.

Also within the LFSLapper.lpr file is a variable called $DefaultTopCar. Edit this (again, Notepad) and list the cars you want to use. This is needed for Top times and Drift Scores (if enabled).

Quote from Skyline2112 :nice map but it doesnt work for me :/

That's because you need at least an S1 license to use Autocross layouts.

Quote from justadroover :...

If you're unhappy with way things are going with this game simulator, then delete your account and go away.

If you actually want to contribute, then buy one of the three licenses that are available.

If you do decide to buy a license, then you get the game 'as is'. You still don't get to say whether there will ever be additional cars or tracks, what direction the game will take, or whether game will ever be improved or finished.

You need to use English on this forum - try Google Translate or similar.

Your other post wanted a car skin for FZR, a car which is not available to demo, or even S1 licensed users.

Good idea, but until it does become a feature (if ever), you could use the InSim Circle and InSim Checkpoint, both under the Marshall tab, when using SHIFT U AutoX objects.

The circle goes to 62m diameter and the checkpoint goes to 62m long.

Place them for measuring, and delete once you have your distance.

I can confirm same error message for both !ss and !set_schedule, but !schedule seems to be working.

!schedule allows me to click 'more', 'less' or 'close'.

No error messages in log files, but there is error message on the cmd window that opens when you start lapper.



This message appears on cmd window once the schedule checker message ('time left before...') times out and LFS shows "Lapper start - No scheduled race found" message.

By default, the drift meter is not enabled - you will have to manually enable it.

Look in the /includes folder for
#include( "./driftmeter.lpr");

Remove the hash (#) from start of line.

Lapper ignores everything on any line after a hash tag.

If you look at top of this page (above Forum, Subs and User Profiles), one of the choices is 'Live for Speed'. Click that, and scroll down a bit and you'll get latest news, plus link for other news.

This is better than people trying to remember what's been happening.

Are you expecting lapper to run when your server (which I can only assume is run via your pc) is no longer up and running?

If this is what you mean, then it's like switching your tv off then complaining you can't switch channels via your remote.

Obvious answer: Don't switch off your pc, but if your server isn't on, then expect lapper to also switch off and give lots of error messages.

Why do you keep spamming the whole forum with questions that make no sense, and have little information on exactly what you want, what you've tried, what results you get? Maybe some of your code or images might help?

Because you've spammed in every section, I'm not even sure anymore if you are using LFSLapper or some other InSim.

I realise that English probably isn't your 1st language, but reading your posts is like being given one piece of a thousand part jigsaw, and expecting to tell them what the finished image will look like without seeing the picture on the lid.

LFS already has host name and password login if needed, so why do you want another?

Open your LFSLapper.lpr file, and search for $DefaultTopCar.

You need to add the car(s) that you drift with to the cars already listed.

You will not be able to use Nodes in X and Y track configurations, so you will have to either set up Zones or use an InSim Circle.

A Zone is an invisible InSim Circle, which consists of X, Y placement and size (diameter in metres).

If you want to use an InSim Circle, go into SHIFT U mode, edit, Marshall, InSim Circle, then place circle on track using letter O key. Use E and W to widen or shrink as appropriate, and take a note of the circle index number. This will be needed to tell your InSim what should happen when car is driven into the circle.

Another difference between a Zone and an InSim circle, is the Zone is placed on the ground, but the InSim circle can be lowered or raised in the Z dimension.
