There are tons of LFS videos on Youtube that will showcase some types of racing available online.

Well, the options screen can be a bit, shall I say, untidy at times. I've been playing the game for years (pirate at first), and still sometimes I have to have a look around in the options if I want to change something else than the usual things I tend to change in there.

I believe LFS is a game you never can learn fully. There is always new things to try out and learn, such as new driving style, new driving techniques, new setups, and so on. With a bunch of new cars and tracks (and even more with custom classes on Airio servers), it should keep you busy for quite a while to say the least.

I have never spent as much time on a computer game than I have with S2. Money well spent I'd say.

Scawen even braged about beeing able to make the AI unbeatable if he felt like it. Would be fun if there was a "Unhuman" difficulty setting.

Quote from arco :

It's normal that one has to unlock LFS when upgrading from Z28 to A3? What if one has both versions in the same folder, to be able to run each version? Unlock every time they are run? First post doesn't mention anything about that you need to unlock, so was a bit surprised to see unlock button on the screen after installing A3.

I have Z34 and A3 installed simultaneously in two different folders without any problems. The unlock seems to be stored somewhere in the LFS-folder. So theoretically you could have an infinite number of installations, given that you wait until you get new unlocks between each time you install LFS.

It forgets where my setups folder is. It's tedious to navigate my folders for each time I want to load up a setup, i.e comparing setups, and so on.

Seems like my bug report was drowned in the Z30 thread, so Im reposting it here. No collision detection against the metal fence after the chicane in AS7R, SPR available at this link: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1598414#post1598414

S2 is by far the most value I have ever got buying a computer game.

I don't know if this already have been reported, but with MRT you can go right through the metal fences and into the nethers, right after the chicane on AS7R. SPR attached.

It's also possible to get permanently stuck down under in multiplayer. Haven't been able to reproduce that artifact in single player though.

If Im not mistaken, wind direction is selected by random. So you might have to make a few attempts before getting the wind to go down the straight in the driving direction.

It goes to show that the content is just as important as the techology (engine) for making the game look good.

Quote from Scawen :

Yellow flags are not easy, because they become quite annoying if LFS doesn't know if a car is in a safe place. It uses the path to know if a car is parked or stopped off line in a safe place and this is impossible without path information.

Have you (or Victor) considered releasing a path file editor? Im sure many layout makers will make paths aswell for their layouts.

Im guessing they are running a standard server that can't limit classes like i.e Airio does. So TDRT was racing FX2 or FX9, while the OP was racing FXR.

Edit: just saw now that Kolz had replied.

I did, but it's a bit shorter now

Yes, I had one short freeze just now. Have to check the replay to see if someone was leaving the pits, or if it was something else.

I haven't noticed anymore freezing when racers are leaving the pits, so that seems to be fixed in these latest patches.
But the game freezes for a cupple of seconds if someone are kicked from the server (atleast for bad names on Airio-powered servers).

Quote from brainslot :

I just downloaded the demo version and want to practice. Now the game comes up and I can start a race, but I just sit there reving the engine and cranking the wheel. The car does not move. I have the setting for 'auto'.
I am using a logitech joystick. Everything else seems to work...but I can't move!

Any suggestions?

When you select automatic gear box, you have to put it into 1st gear when the race starts. Then the gear box will do all the shifting there after.

After doing some 12000 laps with GT2s on Cargame, I guess the Airio restrictions are pretty fair?

Quote from boothy :

ZOMG then I assume you'll be the one helping to make the .pth files for each configuration?

Make it simple to create pth-files, and I'm sure alot of people will create the paths for their layout themselves.

xfirestorm pretty much spoke my mind. It would be nice to have properly implementet GT classes. And it surely would make the classes more available.

Yes, Dave, I know. But is there really any other custom classes as popular as the Airio GT2?

I was just wondering if recognition of the GT2 class, and possibly GT3, by both LFS and LFSW have been under consideration. GT2 has become very popular since Airio was released, but it would be nice to have LFS recognize the different classes aswell as LFSWorld for official WRs and so on. Since it's basically only intake restrictions (and possibly some ballast), I'd guess it would be very easy to make them distinct cars in the game.

If classes are to be recognized, there should also be new short names for the cars to reflect their class:

FX1 / XR1 / FZ1 - the previously called GTRs, now GT1
FX2 / XR2 / FZ2 - GT2

Quote from anttt69 :

Hey Scawen can we drop the number plates off the GT cars, it makes them look silly.

I agree, or atleast make the text and the plate smaller.

Have you tried setting the affinity to just one CPU core for the LFS process?

Only negative thing I can say about Cargame.nl S2 (all though I am a CG member), is that you have to earn the rank to drive the fastest cars, which can be a little demotivating at first. But once you do earn the rank, racing in the fastest class (GT2) can be really intense!
