Can you provide a download link to x10-12 patch mate?

Edit : ah so sorry, even with big fancy letters there was this x to x10 version download link <.< bah
X12 was never released for the client version of LFS, it's only for the dedi. The X to X10 upgrade is linked to on my site and in the readme.txt, which should be all you need.
Very cool, Bob. Downloading!
Bloody awesome, had a blast with this. The car is a beast, and without a fine tuned setup it's hell for sure, but at same time very enjoyable.
Thumbs up for this, now we just need a Nascar V*b.
bob for developer +1
Maybe Bob for Authorized Modder In Chief
Giving away a couple fast sets if you join now!
I've just realized something. Guys, go on LFS Desktop and check my PB with the XRT around Kyoto Ring or yours if you've tried the mod...

Well at least now I won't be having problems with the hotlap for the NDR Kyoto 250

hmm.. we could make some small racing with those monster cars lol
but yeah, the mod is really great
Server has been setup as hidden, this way you don't overwrite real online PBs. This, however, makes the server not show up on the LFSW listing of servers, so you have to type the server name manually to join.

Just joined and my PB was overwritten, not that I care much!
AFAIK, hidden server won't hide it from LFSW, and it will still count your online PB, so you might as well have it showing again.
Ok, I thought hidden would stop it from uploading PBs to LFSW, but I guess not.
the mod is realy good! thnx bod! now there has to be someone to make a Nascar Model then it realy would be great!!

P.S. when you setup the car in a diffrent way, then it is perfect for drag racing to!

thnx again!
I didn't make any setups for road course or drag racing. If people feel they have come up with competent efforts, post them here for others to use, and I might even include them in the next update, as I've come across a couple of little bugs I need to fix in the app asap (probably Tuesday night). The changes won't affect the car, so online compatability will be unaffected.
Quote from mcintyrej :all you need now is to add another car slot to the game, and with that change the .veh files to that of a nascar, and hey presto - we have nascar!

Edit: Works brilliant here - great work bob!

mcintyrej votes to make bob smith developer (1/12)

+1
+1 from me!
