Scenario.. Monday's "GT2" class, Tuesday's "GT3" class, Wed's something different, and so on.
I'd like to be able to launch a server and use the games graphical interface to easily select which cars are and aren't available. (without having to alter a text file every time I want to change that detail I mean) At the same time, I'd like to be able to connect to said server without the need of multiple LFS accounts. I'm guessing this isn't possible?
(resources are moot.. a toaster could run LFS with 16x AA/AF these days 
)

If your goal is cheap transportation, while Subaru's aren't bad, (from what I've seen/being AWD), they tend to use more fuel than an old Civic as well. Of course there're a lot of variables but that's my experience.
dedicated host WITH graphics?
Another likely dumb hosting question. :o I've found my way around the basics of a dedicated host without graphics. I was wondering if it's possible to setup a dedicated host with graphics.. but without having to utilize my username to sign in? If that doesn't make sense, let me know & I'll try and re-word/explain, lol.
I should've unsubbed from this train wreck of a thread ages ago, but then I'd miss stuff like the last couple posts!
Ahh right, another dub driver, and demo racer to boot.
I just don't get it. When and how did people get it into their heads that adjustments like camber should be monkey'd with for the sake of appearance.. kidz these days?! :doh:
hahaha! when I first saw it I'd been up for like 24h/was too tired to see what was different about it.
Ahh dang, that stinks. While I realize the point of playing online isn't really to add AI, (and they tend to drive like boneheads), it's still a way for us small groups to populate the track. Be nice if they were to change the mechanics there a bit, though I won't hold my breath.
Hey, me too! Trophy for the G!hno. :trophy_br Also, I apologize for perpetuating your story of drug use & expense report on such. :banana_ra
I know about the wind thing, I was simply confirming that AI can't drive when it's set, since Mustangman759 wasn't sure. Thanks for the clarification on AI skill settings though.
If anybody knows whether there's a way to have more than two AI per PC connection, (considering each PC player would want to be the third car on track for said PC), all my questions will have been answered.
Clearly I should go to aussieland if I ever feel the need to expand the list of drugs I've tried and/or start using regularly. (well, not for pills. from what I learned thx to my druggy ex, I could probably get those cheaper here) Can't say I've ever budgeted my income, (or had reason to think about it), specifically for habitual drug use though. Maybe I grew up in the wrong country?!
As for alcohol, since you edited that in afterwards.. it's both legal & you never mentioned it previously in your $300 quote. If people can afford to go drop $200 on it while clubbing on a weekend, again, Australia sounds like the place to be! (if I were an alcoholic and/or druggy anyways :razz

Yeah, it won't let ya start a race with AI if there's wind. (though I've never really noticed wind to affect my driving abilities) I wish they could, as the moving stuff in the background are kind of a nice touch. Anyways, thanks for answering the first question Forbin. Can anybody field the other two?
skill level/AI questions..
I realize AI's not a strong point of LFS but some of my buddies like having them on track just the same. I was wondering if changing the skill level of AI affects the skill level needed for a real player to drive? What I mean, is if you set AI level to beginner, does that turn down any realism factors for real players? I'm guessing not, but ask because we set some on track last night & all of a sudden we were running MUCH better lap times. Wasn't sure if we were simply driving better or if it'd somehow turned down the skill required for us or something.. (I'm talking like 5 seconds off our typically lousy best times )
My next question is if multiple people add AI, does any one person's AI level affect all AI, or is it specific to how individual players set them.
And my last question, I've got a great ISP/connection. Is there a way to allow players to set more than a couple AI? I seem to be running into a wall where each player can only put 2 on track max, no matter how I configure server details. (if they want to drive as well/for a total of 3 cars per PC)
Lastly, I'll probably have more dumb questions stemming from these, as I've both been out of the game for a good while and am new to the server deal, so as always.. thanks in advance!

..posting pics/vids doing burnouts - agreed.
The one I was referring to was of a Mk3 Supra..
I'm confused, as I thought he had a 1JZ to begin with, which impressed him enough to bestow upon us a crap burnout vid.. or am I remembering the wrong car/person?
No, I'm not, and especially not in a Miata. If your plan was to drift it then I get it, but even that's a crime which should be punishable by license revocation and/or being forced to drive a fwd minivan for the rest of one's life/afterlife!! As for how Miata's behave, you're talking to somebody who's owned two.. a base '91 1.6L, (open diff), and my current 1.8L, (factory LSD due to being a special edition). Between the two I've spent roughly 200,000 miles behind the wheel of Miata's, (spanning from 1997 to now, including a little autoX + year round driving), and I know how they behave in pretty much any condition imaginable. Locking either diff results in downgraded cornering performance, essentially gutting the car. The only thing worse you can do to their drive-train is stuff a Mustang type setup under the back. If your goal was for it to be a drifter, then I'm glad ya somehow managed to kill it before ever getting to that point!!
