Make sure you hav downloaded the game from www.lfs.net this will make your LFS account. Remember it as you will need it to unlock S1 and S2 if you decide to buy them later on. Use those account details to log on here too. Help:
- To start, just open the game. most of it is self explainitory although it is useful to change some of the controls in 'SETTINGS' before you start.
- Do all of your available 'TRAINING' lessons. You wont hav many because you will be playing the Demo version, although it will help you learn controls and the game play.
- Don't touch anything in the Docs or Data folders yet! if you do you might muck up the game and hav to create a new LFS.exe leave them alone.
- Try racing some AI in 'SINGLE PLAYER' to get a feeling for the racing, remember- this isn't a GAME as such, it's a simulator. Don't expect to be any good, you're new and you WILL be terrible
don't worry though, you will pick it up quick.
- if you want skins (car designs) or setups for the cars ( remember only 2 cars will be available to you in demo) just tell me and ill leave some here.
- I can't remember, but i order to get onto the main servers you will need to by S2 £24, but that's your choice.
- If you go onto 'MULTIPLAYER' i would recommend any CTRA host although dont go onto RAce 2 or Race 3 as you need a license (eaned on Race 1 by getting points). In multiplayer, spend some time watching the races and press 'v' to change the view and tab for a different car. Sitting inside the lead car is good as you can learn the circuit and how to drive it
- When online - try to keep out of trouble. As a noob you Will get in the way. Move out of the wave under a Blue flag- it means the leader is trying to overtake. BE polite - remember people can report you and you could be banned.
- When on a CTRA server, press '$password' to create your CTRA account. This is seperate from the LFS account you made earlier. To see this account go to www.raceauthority.com and click on MyCTRA. Log in. When you complete races in CTRA servers you will earn points. This is where they go, and if you get enough you progress to different classes. At silver, you earn the license to go onto CTRA Race 2
- At the end of the day, if you dont like racing you wont enjoy the game although frustration is enevitable when learning controls and tracks.
- Need anything? Hi-res textures? Skins? Log in and reply to this post and ill leave it for you.
- Also, there is ALOT to learn so dont worry. Everyone who plays the game had to learn it like you at some point.
