Nah rF does that and it just seems unrealistic and silly. Simply having the lights in view (which most rF tracks they aren't easy to see) plus the extra HUD lights for those who want them are more than enough. Having a beeper just helps you get into a rhythm.

I don't mean when the green light is coming rather when the "RESTART IN 3" appears. The reason is that you often wait like 5min till a race gets finally restarted on server and for me and I guess a lot of others do the same (you can see it when 1 car isn't moving at the start), I take a piss or get something to drink while the 50% of restart votes are together. In the moment it's waiting in front of the screen or every 5 sec. checking if it does start and thats pretty annoying. So what I mean is that, when the RESTART IN 3 shows up a loud sound (like a horn or even a voice) comes. So when you are not in front of the screen you can hear that the race is going to start. Of course can there be an option to switch it of

There are just a view Demo teams out there and a basic thing is that you et invited to join a team because the people in the team like you and you match to them.
So there is just one way to join a team and that is to race a lot on public servers and to meet a lot of racers and one day you get the "lucky call"

Quote from Becky Rose :

I would like to make one change to it though, when there are not many cars on the grid the lights go green very quickly - sometimes too quickly and its easy to miss a race start. I'd like for the delay to be 2-3 seconds longer for the first light to come on.

i would like to have a horn when the 3-2-1 countdown starts. in case u r not in front of the screen so that you know it is going to start

Quote from Shotglass :

why do we get this each and every time after a physics compatible patch was released ?
the physics havent changed and the differences you see are either your driving or all in your head

and what do u dream at night

Quote from Tigershark :

I'm considering it, the thing that keeps me from doing it is that I can't control which skins are downloaded.

Teamskins would be great, but when someone makes a completely ugly skin and uploads it as a 1024x1024 I wouldn't want to waste my credit on it.

I don't know how it is possible to waste money there. You charge you account with £3 thats like 4,41€. for 9.000 skins. That makes it 0,00049€ per skin. This means you pay 1cent for 20 skins
Who the heck cares. You are that miserly

I can't find an option in LFSWorld to get the H-Res. skins

Quote from Scawen :

Hi. This isn't an LFS bug, it seems to be a bug in "Wine". I'll take that back if you tell me that server was not running under Wine on Linux. Wine appears to occasionally stop relaying UDP packets (used for car positions) to the LFS exe. So LFS has no idea where the cars are. Also no-one can join the server from that point on until it is restarted.

ok Scawen, good to know

Here two replays from that.

All other information appear, like chat and restart but not the cars.

Here a bug just right now on a server. All cars for every user had a lag but no disconnect. After restart and even change of track dis nothing change.

Well done

Now get a long coding free weekend, Scawen

Quote from joshdifabio :

'Shift -' disables all messages, '-' disables chat messages. I think it would be a good idea to have a command which disables just the system messages too, like 'ctrl -' or something.

Oh OK, didn't know about "SHIFT -"
THX

Actually it'S not a bug but I like to post it here so that it might come with patch X.
Because there are up to 47 people on the server there is a lot of traffic up and down, joining race, pitting and going to spec, new pb and so on. This means that there are a lot of messages showing up all the time. It would be nice to add an option to disable all that and maybe in the future an option where you can decide which message will appear and which not.

Thx

Quote from Polaxis :

I'm really waiting for a black tea / coffee cup with the 3 color LFS-logo on it.
So I can start my day with LFS in a cup and end it with LFS on my screen

6th

SimFIA has the DTM in the american time zone.

Why people are scared of SimFIA?

There you will get more skills much faster. I'm not that fast but it's a lot of fun and you learn a lot there.

Your race time is a pity. Maybe you should try to get into a league, there are the cleanest races normaly. Like the DTM NA Devision would fit very nice to your times zone and they are looking always for guys. The next season will start in August (www.simfia.com). Get some practice with the FXR or XRR cause those guys there are damn fast

Good luck buddy

Quote from TFalke55 :

well... i have this sometimes when I'm racing... using ICQ and Skype and driving not in full screen... if I'm switching into Full Screen, there is only a black screen, but it happens with W0 aswell...

The same here. Not often but sometimes when I switch from window to full screen mode I get a black LFS screen.

Quote from Andreas Grauel :

Just tell me how u will know about it?
Scawen once said Patch X will be out in 1-2 Weeks and this was a while ago so just be patient and wait... I guess even Scawen doesnt know when he is done!

Cause I have each day a call from Scawen

Quote from zeugnimod :

The next official Patch is X and that will probably be out during the next weeks.

(And yes, it is the latest. Everytime, a new patch appears, the thread for the old one gets closed.)

Nope, in 2 weeks (June).

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I think sinbad's right that the test patches have split the userbase a bit. I used to race on the Old Men Racing server more than anywhere else, but they on a test patch now and I got sick of swapping .exes so I'm just going to leave it until X comes out.

That's not to say that there is usually plenty of variety, because there plainly isn't.

just make a copy of your LFS folder and after install in one the patch and you can easy use both

Quote from andybarsblade :

not happy with the servers that are provided?? then put your hand in your pocket and get/run your own

maybe i'll see about changing the track

every week another track would be great. I would like to race a bit formular cars but BL,AS Cadet......
what about all the other AS tracks or FE?

Quote from Veracious :

My advice is: list all the public servers, including the empty ones and join one that you feel would be fun to try and people will start joining that server too. Might take some time but sometimes just about 5-10 minutes will do.

When you go alone on one it does not really work but when you go with 3 o4 mostly it works.

He is about right. There aren't many servers with a lot of racers on it except the above mentioned. I haven't many miles so it doesn't bother me much most of the times
One thing which sucks is that the Redline Racing is having always running BL and AS Cadet there are no other tracks in LFS......

It's a bug which is not not just appearing with W24 but just today it happend with W24 again. When I start LFS the whole screen is covered like normaly it is but the mouse or anything else isn't acting in LFS but it does in Windows in the background. The bad thing is that I don't see what I do there in the back and it is very hard to get the LFS screen away. Ctlr+Alt+Del does open the TaskManager, but in the back. Most of the times I come back into LFS with Alt+Tab but this takes sometimes quite a while when I have a lot of stuff open.
It's not reproducible. It happens from time to time.

yeah right, thats then realistic
