Totally with you 100% on that one. Excellent idea.

Only possible bad side would be that people then make their own track and release them without devs consent.

On the whole, an excellent suggestion though, that way, we literally help to build and shape the game.

will not be possible with my suggestion, cause all programs should be locked after contest including special server software and the editors

can a mod close this thread? went offtopic....

here is the right forum for the off topicers

welcome to s2

i think this combo will be great but fern bay has to be reworked before

-1 for now
+2 for future

Hi guys and girls,

the discussion about mods is very difficult, but i think i have a solution how i could work.

the first thing needed is following: the devs should release track and car editors. but not permanently, because then we will have the rfactor syndrome of a 30gig installation.

i am thinking of a fixed circle: 1 track per year and 2 cars per year made by community. why so less most will think now.... question is answered above with the rfactor syndrome.
let me do an example:
scawen activates the track and car editors tomorrow and they are activated until 1st march. all the tracks and cars made will be nominated to get in the game. all drivers will now have the chance to vote which car/track will be released. thats it. andon 1st july the cycle starts again but this time only cars.
the main rule btw should be like this: track and car must be individual and nothing from reallife.

i think my suggestion is good to make more content, but in a way that the game grows permanently and controllable. games like rfactor and gtr2/evo are out of control and mostly you have to download a 200mb mod to join a server.

nothing against you scawen, victor and eric, but LFS is stagnating in this time even if the scirocco will be realeased. all other simulations are growing very fast and if we dont get more content i see that not far in the future lfs will loose much drivers to the other sims.

off topic guys and girls

need my scirocco, sound doesn't matter...
hope scawen will release it quickly, can't wait anymore. i played flight simulator x today cause i was bored

soooo hi,

my 2 cents:

- i am 90% sure that someone has sent you a keylogger...
- mostly they are in rootkits and only one thing can kill them: changing hard drive or killdisk...
- another thing is: invest some money in a good antivirus program with rootkit protection (Avira Antivir i.e.).
- always scan your harddrive for malware (dont use windows defender for scanning... "Spybot Search and Destroy" or "Ad Aware" are good programs).
- dont use filesharing, most viruses and rootkits are delivered by them (torrent is safe if you dont download illegal things)
- free p*rn and warez sites have a guarantee to get viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits.... if you use them (i dont know), stop it!

and now da tools to get sure IF its a rootkit:
rootkit finder (sry, only found a german mirror ): http://www.pcwelt.de/downloads ... otkit_revealer/index.html
this small tool can find root kits on your hard drive BUT it cannot remove them.

killdisk: this kills all data on your hard drive...restless ...format c: is not enough and most data is reconstructable
http://www.killdisk.com/downloadfree.htm
small tip: use an old ms dos 5 or 6 bootdisk, dont use the windows version

after killdisk you should reboot your computer a few times to make sure that nothing is in your physical memory

reinstall windows and the first thing is: antivirus! and after that all available windows updates INCLUDING windows defender! its live scanning secures your system files

Anyway, it's early 2009, so where's my Scirocco?

get surprised and watch here every day

OWRL MRT Training
OWRL Div A

The Div B Server is shutted down atm because the new season is not planned yet.

If you want good fox races you can go on Lightnin Racing FOX Club

cant run it on vista x64

i say thx to both of you

small problem here:

is it possible with the lapper to restart the race 3 minutes after finish or so?
if its possible with the cfg its good, otherwise i need a programmer

baaaah noob alert

meant this one:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olymp

NOOOOOOOOOOO NOT another!

you stole my words dude

Quote from rc10racer :

Still got the shadow problem which i reported and 3 other people have reported with Z5 on ATI cards with crossfire enabled.

EDIT: my bad i never read the known issues part.

have checked it at a friends pc:
use the omega drivers and there is no problem, with normal catalyst he has the same too

he has two 4850 in crossfire mode

hi, i checked out the abs and its a good idea BUT:

the reaction of ABS in relation to reallife is too good, maybe you can make it a bit slower?

and this is the next thing i want to ask:
can you make a server command to restrict electronic helps like ABS and TC?

tante edith: checked this graphical problems some have here with my older gfx xards, had no problems with geforce 6,7,8 and 9 series with standard driver settings

we all paid for the content we have, and i would be dissapointed if a demo driver gets more

Quote from zeugnimod :

It actually has: http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Clean_Racers_Club_Rules

is not at german lfsmanual

maybe someone knows the writer of this?

Quote from Zen321 :

So basically, you're trying to create a virtual FIA? ^^

basically yes, but it should be from racers for racers

I like the idea, but I'm sure every league has its reasons for having a certain restriction for the GT2 (per say).
Maybe you should try to speak with them and find a mutual agreement on the restrictions!

would be hard, i know but everything is possible, right?

For the general rulebook (apart from the sporting guide), it's a good idea, however, please make sure to let it a bit free, so as to adapt to the evolutions of LFS, or the upcoming of new leagues .

i want that this organisation should give only the base, not more, but good enough that customization should be as easy as possible.

Finally, maybe you could give your "organization", the idea of a "quality stamp"? Like "The MOE is supported by <insert your name here>". And I'm sure that it would be possible to make some money with sponsors
If you need some help, I'll be glad to join

this i meant with a certification ...i think about sponsoring when the project starts

my two cents are bold

Hi racers,

i have a plan to start an association of teams to make following things for new and existing leagues.

- a standard sporting codex for racers
i know there is a sporting codex in all your minds, but it never has been written down.

- partial standard regulations for leagues (interesting for new leagues)
i am thinking about a bunch of standard regulations which can be used to build your own regulations as easy as playing with lego blocks, so everyone has a chance to make a reliable rule book by themselves.
the procedure should be like this: choosing qualy mode, choosing race mode with pitstop regulation, car classes -> rule book ready for use!
maybe as a small honoration that they use this system, they can get a league certification.

- standard restrictor based classes (like babyUFR and GT2)
this is a thing i hate especially the gt2 class is different in all leagues.... ctra has another system as moe, moe has another one as gtcc.... for all leagues you have to build another setup and so on. my dream is that i dont have to make 3 sets for one car

- maybe you have suggestions?
its just an idea for now, so suggestions are welcome

here the steps for demo racers (without wheel):

-buy S2,
-go to an online shop and buy a wheel of your choice (for beginners i recommend the formula force ex, its cheap and FFB is good)
-make sure you really have bought s2
-eat something
-look at your order status for your new wheel
-activate your s2 account
-wait some days and have a surprise how good the feeling is with a wheel in combination with s2

its just joking, but i can recommend following wheels:
-logitech formula force ex (cheap wheel with good ffb) about 40 €
-logitech dfp (good wheel, many buttons, excellent ffb) about 90€
-g25 (the heaven of racing!!!!) about 230 €
-911 (good wheel with good ffb) dont know the price, but i have heard only good things about
