Quote from PeterN :

The number plate issue that used to happen randomly in previous versions now seems much worse. Now most of the time someone else's numberplate is showing on my car. (And other player's cars might be wrong too, but I can't tell that)

I have stumbled upon this problem only for 1 or 2 cars - BACALHAU and not sure about the CX Wagon.
I think this happens because the numberplate is on subobject or something.. Baaaaaaaack in the days when modding was unsupported , the numberplates - s_plate, work only on MESH 1..if not set on mesh 1 it displays wrong licenseplate.

cool ! cant wait to drive it like a grandma in tc!

looks like the cars you can order from aliexpress

I think one very cool feature will be setting in the server settings or something to allow only certain mods, and in the game -> Mods button to have an filter - Allowed mods in this server. by this way we will know which mods we are able to drive. This will be very useful in cruise servers like TC.

I just uploaded skin to lfsw. And I don't have any problems

Looking forward for this

RB4 Steering wheel is not connected

Look

You have checked "Hard" on top right, make it to ALL and click the refresh button

Dont know really if it is a bug or it is intended to be like this but, the interior clock in the car shows UTC time zone and im not in UTC, you can see my real time in the left top corner

I have hosts, make sure you checked the right things

Chuckland is the TC server. And Code 1 means you have logged from other country, you can set you are in a holiday mode to the country you are currently right now from here - world.city-driving.co.uk - My account button. I think the ban is 24h

Problem with the full screen in veh editor -> Cannot ALT TAB - black screen , when screenshoting with the printscreen button, the screenshot is black. also gives me this error in the chat

It is possible, I'm using similar configuration but I don't how to replicate it, here is a screenshot from my 2 views, try to copy them and then adjust it to your preferences

Can we join in servers with this patch, since it is only an bug fix patch

Hey @Scawen. Just wanted to ask something about the Access Levels and more specific to the - "Team".

How will the automatic download of the mods work when set to - "Team"

I am thinking of something like this - When set the access level to Team, only people that are in the same team as the mod creator can download it. But does that mean you can join in servers that people has the mod - e.g. private server only for the team?

And will there be an way to play with an team mod in public servers. Because it would be fun to play with your mod and see other private mods. I am most afraid of someone stealing our dds textures.. How can we protect our textures from someone just getting the .dds and pasting it to their mod. Or using it for something else.

Thanks

Also I think there is an mistake in the Vehicle Mod Regulations -> https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/regulations
It says - "Once reviewed and published your mod will become available for use in LFS according to its access level. (see 5.6 - Access Level)"
And there is no 5.6, The point for access level is 4.6

Quote from BeNoM :

Yup, can confirm. Something has broken strangely.

Same with me.. I think its because we are all S3 licensed.. maybe someone with s2 should try it and say if his game crashes

Good thread.

Something I would try to do is.

4 Door FXO

Quote from loopingz :

What about diamond wheeler like Man-Tx?

I am sure the modding tools will bring a lot of creativity and new things to the game.. About trucks.. I think the maximun wheels allowed are 4, +1 spare wheel, which you can see in the UI here ( which will probably work like the LX4 spare wheel ).

This means that the truck has to be something like this one here ->

I vaguely recall (forever ago) Scawen mentioning playing around with bikes in LFS.

Screenshot from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9Pi0aYbA0c @0:11



this wil be fun to play with

Quote from Racer Y :

Wow. This is cool. Kind of confused about something. These modded cars, will they be in the updated version of LFS? Or are they downloaded from secondary sites like what mods from other games are?

So, it will work like the downloading skins from the master server. When you join a server, the mods that are currently on track ( i believe ) will be automatically downloaded.

Quote from Oliver Feistkorn :

Even if I was not entirely serious, you are of course right. In this case, however, we can assume that there is already an agreement between VW and LFS.
Now that I think about it, I wonder whether it will be possible to modify the existing licensed content without restrictions.

"Even if I was not entirely serious" - Its Ok, It is hard to understand when someone is being sarcstic in text

Only the fictional cars will be available in the Vehicle Editor to edit (example - RB4).. So the cars that are licensed quoting from LFS Manual here. -

Quote :

LFS currently features several licensed real cars:

McGill Racing Team MRT5 (MRT)
Raceabout '03 (RAC)
BMW Sauber F1.06 (BF1)
Formula BMW FB02 (FBM)
Volkswagen Scirocco Mk3 (soon) (VWS)

wont be available for editting. For a reason of course. Because we most likely don't have permit from the cars company to do editting on the 3d models.

Quote from Oliver Feistkorn :

I bet the day the tools become publicly available someone will go ahead and grab the Scirocco model from the viewer and make it driveable. And if not, I'll do it myself and I will drive it like its early in 2009 and I can finally be happy again.

This most likely wont happend. Since the Scirocco is an real car, you need to provide some information.

2. Content that requires permission

Written and signed permission from the content or copyright owner must be provided if your mod matches any of the criteria below.
The content owner's contact details (name, phone number and / or email address) must be included in the document.

2.1 Content containing real car names and / or logos
2.2 A 3D model you did not create yourself. E.g. imported or converted from another game or program



You can read the regulations here - https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/regulations.

Hey, Scawen! What happend with the VWS? I might be wrong but the reason for not releasing it at all was something about the physics.. Will we see the VWS when the tyre physics are done?

Quote from josemspain :

looking forward this
however I expect hosts won't go crazy and add 12515 modded cars to a server which, certainly, will make LFS heavier

Well, actually Scawen has talked about this. For now theres an limit for up to 120 mods in a server.


Quoting one of his old posts in this thread. And bolded the more important on that subject.

Quote from Scawen :

It's already possible through InSim and it is marked as a high priority task to manage a list of allowed mods in game, an equivalent of our current allowed cars but it's a more complex system. Current plan is a list of up to 120 allowed mods. For first test version it's just allow mods yes/no.

Quote from scania :

will the "file" list on website have 1 more list for parts? e.g. wings, rim, safety car light.... etc

Talking out of my a$$ but I think there will be a button ,, Mods '' or something. No 3d models for addons (ex. like spoilers ) since you have to create them by yourself or buy them / use free 3d models with the permission of the creators of the obj.
