Hello all. Just discovered and licensed LFS this weekend and I am very impressed and having a great time. One thing that's bugging me is all the replay files available here and on the other boards are coming up as "obsolete" on the version available for download on the LFS site (S2U). How can I watch them? I can't find archives of any of the older patches anywhere.

It seems bogus to me to render all this potentially very helpful archive material obsolete. As a programmer myself, I know that backwards compatibility is just about rule number one in any serious application. What gives?

Thanks,
John.

Someone else stated that version Q of LFS is still available on the LFS site somewhere....

It's on the news page on liveforspeed.net. All you do is scroll down. How hard is it?

Also, backwards compatibility isn't a problem, because no one races on the older versions as they are, by definition, worse. But there is NOTHING to stop you have every version of LFS installed all at the same time, so can watch every replay ever. Might be harder to unlock some of the really old versions though, as the unlock system changed towards the end of S1.

A BIG welcome John

Hope to meet ya on the track sometime

Have fun and kiss your old life goodye

Thanks Tristan, I guess it's not hard when you know where to look. I tried the download pages and the download archives - too busy driving to scour the entire site.

That was possibly the best excuse ever, and so I let you off

Haha, thanks!!

As a matter of interest, I found LFS when Googling around for some way to practice autocross. I recently bought a Porsche Cayman S and I've been autocrossing it at the local Porsche club meets. I have a GPS-based data-acquisition system and I plan to write some software that will build an LYT file replica of the meet layouts from the GPS track maps. I'll post any luck I have in the AX layouts section.

This is the first sim I've spent much time with for a long while - I spent many, many nights some years ago on Sports Car GT and have never found a racing sim that felt so right until LFS.
