Because lapper does not allow you to put something like
$DriftScore = $DriftScore + 100;
into a sub-routine. If you do, it restarts.

Ability to skin our own pitlane garage sign
Would be great if we could put our own skinnable signs up in front of a garage to show your own team or driving name - or anything else you wanted to.
These would probably need to be track specific (eg BWG_Sin1, WHG_Sin1, etc), and would appear on garage when you join online server, and be removed when you leave.
Where there's no pitlane garages (eg South City), then signage is ignored, or not enough garage spaces, then signage is first come, first served.
May be an extra way for the LFS developers to make some additional bit of money, as they could make it you have to pay for these skins, or one free and pay for additional, or mix and match between helmet, car and garage skins, where you can upload so many free, then if you want more, you pay.
Alternately, server owner gets to sign all garages (same sign on each), and players nickname appears on a garage sign when they join server.

Skin appears when we join server, then disappears when you leave - just like any other racing teams that appear for a track meet.

Removal of U2's 'Free' album from iphone
If like me, you can't stand the pretentious tw@ts known as U2, and would like to get their unwanted album off your iphone, then Apple have set up a way to remove it - see link below;

You could try somewhere like ebay to see if you can get a small steering wheel cover, although due to the small diameter of the G25/G27 wheel, might be difficult.
Better alternative might be to get some badminton/squash/tennis racquet anti slip/sweat tape and either wrap that straight onto the wheel or use it to hold foam sheeting in place.
The tape is about 25mm wide x at least a metre, and comes in various colours and textures.
You'll probably need to also buy some coloured electrical tape to match racquet tape colour, as this is needed to very hold end of racquet tape in place.
Probably lots of quides on youtube on how to re-tape a racquet but maybe struggling to find one on how to do a steering wheel
The alternative to racquet tape is bicycle handlebar tape - likely the same sort of stuff as used on racquets, but groovier styles. Have a look HERE on something I found on ebay.
Maybe you can be the guinea-pig on modding your wheel and let us know how you get on and give tips.

-XRG / XRT lights pop up
The cars are over 10 years old - the mechanism's are worn, rusted and jammed - never going to work now. If it wasn't for the fact the cars are no longer used on public roads, they'd never get an MOT (official permit to use on highway) now
-Add more racing Rims
You can colour them to your hearts content
-Add a night mod to the game
Turn the brightness down on your monitor
-Add a hill track (for Drift and Touge fans)
Turn your monitor till its at least slanted, or on it's side
-Add a special mod for Tougue
Balance your monitor and/or racing rig on a large ball, and wear your cap backwards
-Add a Drift Point Calculator
I've done this in LFSLapper - available as add-on in standard download, although does need to be enabled
-Add More Cars
Buy SI or S2(cheaper alternative is to give each of your AI cars their own skins and have lots more for yourself so you can change them a lot)
-Add a Blur (high speed effect) on the cars such as the FBM F1 so it looks more realistic
Have a look in Unofficial Addons and Miscellaneous Addons sections (where you can also find bloom effects), and use Search facility
-Add a mod where you can customize the performance of your car (for Drift fans)
Already available in Garage, where you can change gearing, suspension, tyres, etc., to your hearts content
You can also add passengers (including females!) so you can impress them with your drifting skills - personally, I use a woman passenger on front to help with directions, although I do get annoyed with the constant "never mind Alonso, everyone is faster than you" bitching
-Add more Music tracks
Convert any of your own music tracks to OGG format, and add into your data/ogg directory - have as many tracks as you want, so knock yourself out
Search for Ramp Oval 4 by user Flame CZE - should be first hit you see.
It's not a secret - it's the D key - click where you want to start measuring, and move mouse, and measurement (probably in metres) will be displayed bottom right.

I measured you track, and I make it 461 metres x 98 metres approx (1,512.5 x 321.5 feet / 504 x 107 yards) [these are outside sizes]
From what I can find out, the size of a quarter mile oval track should be;
Imperial 440 yards
===========
110 yard long straight (straightaway)
110 yard on each turn (therefore 35 yard radius - good old pi)
If you want to see what an oval really looks like in LFS, then look at Flame's HERE

Reason : measured track
I'm getting an Invalid Texture message every time I go into AU1 Autocross track.
It's for the AC_uni_sign (aka Royal Hospital sign) not being square.
EDIT: Added image of where sign should be.

As I said in my previous post, try using the Search function.
I would have thought anyone asking for the source code for something would know a little about coding?
If you want help, you'll have to give a lot more information - the biggest part of which is ..... what code are you using and what language is it in?
Have you got the code to run?
Which bit are you stuck on, and what have you tried to make it work.
If you don't know what you are doing, or you sort of know but can't give examples of what you've tried, do NOT expect to get any response to your questions - garantili istismar bir sürü hariç - özellikle arama özelliğini kullanarak değil.

It's a bit messy really.
Why do you have 2 different boards just before T1, especially as one hides the other?
Curves are badly done, and straights change width quite a lot.
I thought it could do with some improvements, so I've made some alterations to show what I mean. See attached, where I've redone the large curve...
... and I've made a curve that I would have used at the inside curve beside the overhead start lights (haven't put it in place - just put it beside your curve so you can see the difference).
I've also moved Split 1 (blue line), as it's far too soon - I've moved it to where track goes from armco to barrier at both sides.
Some tips:
You don't need split lines so big - use W to make them smaller - they only need to be big enough to reach over both edges of the track.
When doing curves, better to use more Armco1 rather than less Armco5, as it makes any curve a lot smoother.
Also, if you're going to make a curve using the barrier long, then as this barrier is just smaller that the 1st chalk line, you should lay out the chalk first to make the best curve you can by adjusting when looking straight overhead, then once you're happy with the shape, overlay with the barriers, then remove the chalk.
Sometimes it's best to do the inside curve first, then use the D (distance marker) tool to work out outside of curve, especially if you want the barriers same distance apart throughout the curve.
On a positive note - it's nice to see someone else willing to make layouts

Why have you reversed all the lettering on one side of the car?
I put forward a suggestion for a Retro section, but Nostalgia sounds better.
See attached for what happens when I use the tool (just to prove it works on my pc).
Also, try the smaller invisible icon attached (you'll need to rename from a .txt file to .ico).

Would be nice if there was a section just for Cruise Insims, or at least some sort of sticky, with links to existing Cruise insim code, requests, etc.
Might reduce the need for all these "I want cruise insim" threads.

Some old insims to give you a flavour of what you need to know (although they may not use the most current InSim protocol.

You could also try Desktop Icon Toy that lets you make icons and/or text invisible, along with making shapes on your desktop.
If you do try that program, the layout settings are accessed using right click via the icon in the windows notification tray/area.
Using this will do all your desktop icons at once, rather than having to do them one at a time.
Done this by accident before....
Right click desktop icon
Properties
Customize tab
Change Icon button
Scroll along till you see a blank space between icons (about 13 columns)
click on blank space between visible icons (there are about 4 spaces)
click ok
click Apply
click ok
If icon doesn't disappear, then refresh screen

According to the list on the New Open Track Configurations thread, some custom PTH's were made for X/Y configurations by EQ Worry, for use by Airio.
Dygear, as part of his PRISM project, was trying to do something similar, such as his Lap Verification System (LVS), although there's also some information about PTH's in his PHPInSimMod - PRISM 0.4.3 Discussion, which might help?

I fully get your point about inexperienced drivers on servers, but unless you're allowed on them and allowed to race some of the faster cars, and therefore against some of the other drivers, you're unlikely to get far. Especially the more populated servers, most of which seem to have Aario, and an experience rating.
I've driven a lot of laps on Aario servers over the years, and have experience of 700 and rating of 82% (not sure if that's good or bad), but at best, I'm limited to about a dozen cars, none of which are GTR, but most times I'm on Aario servers I'm actually limited to XFG and XRG only.
Not only do you find yourself going round by your lonesome, and therefore not getting much in the way of wheel to wheel / door to door racing experience, this results in you getting lapped by everyone who is in a GTR, and other fast cars, and gets old fast.
If I can't get to race some of the GTR and other cars, not surprised newcomers decide to not bother and then give negative reviews.
There used to be a time when inexperienced players joined a server, people would give them time, advice and sets to help, but now it's everyone just wants to get points of one sort or another, and they complain if you get in their way - sometimes even when you've moved off the racing line when blue-flagged.
My advice to these newcomers is to vote with your feet, and try other servers, especially ones that don't have experience ratings, and rack up some experience on these, whether they be race, drag, drift, destruction derby's, autocross or cruise.
In fact give all these events a go; some you'll love, and some maybe not so much.
You can also get involved in LFS in other ways apart from being on track, by running servers, programming, skinning, layout making, etc.
You should have also linked Daniel-Cro's LFS Texture Converter that helps speed up the loading in game of these hi-res textures.
Or maybe the authors of these texture packs should update by putting their textures thru the converter first then re loading online for future users.
Loved his enthusiasm that he's shown in all his videos!
Left a comment asking if he could do a video for either South City or Fern Bay, as they might look better to him in 3D than Blackwood, and would be nice to hear what he thought of these.
Have a look HERE at the LFS wiki manual.
Basically, you CTRL U, then edit (press Space 1st if edit is hidden), then pick an object and place it in position using O key
Although you may assume you can only put objects in the AutoX area, not true, as (assuming you have LFS Licence) you can place objects on tracks, Blackwood car park, Drag strip, etc, too.
Have a look at this thread HERE to see the unofficial open track layouts - you'll need to make sure you note point 2 in the first post to see how to make them appear on your Track choice screen.
