Hi, and apologies if i have missed the answer to this.

Presently we run a demo server, but its likely i may purchase the latest version.

Can some one please tell me the Max no. a server can run, seems no matter what we do on the demo 11 is the max. can that be altered or is more available on upgrade to paid version?

Thanks

Maximum of 23 connections and a maximum of 20 racers on the track at any one time. Better have a good connection to host all those lag free though

Thanks m8, appreciate that, but is that on both the demo and full game or just full?

Yes thats only available on the full game.

Thank you again.

If you need it, theres a bandwidth calculating guide on RSC. For 20 players, at the default pps, you roughly need 1Mbit/sec upload, iirc.

I don't think we will have any trouble server wise, we run other intensive games without any issues; thanks for the link though, will check it out.

One last question if i may, i have read the other post about locked / unlocked cars and can't quite suss the definitive answer, perhaps you may know.

If i get an S2 licence are all cars unlocked or would i still be limited to the 3 in the demo (at least initially) If they are locked what is the criteria to obtain them?

Sorry for the noob questions, just want to try make sure of a few things to help decide whether to upgrade at this moment.

As S2 is in alpha stages all the cars are unlocked already. The reason for this is because they all need to be tested still, but when S2 final arrives the cars will be most probably locked, requiring some form of unlocking, like completing the driving lessons/tests.

Ah right.

Thanks. Now to persuade she who must be obeyed to spend some money.:icon23:

Sorry, another one.

server Admin, i've done a search for and found some admin commands, the question is how in-game?

The types i normally play have a console you bring down using the ` key.
That doesn't seem to work on LFS - is there another way or am i missing something simple? :ashamed:

the "console" of lfs is just the normal talking. you need to use "/" for all commands, like e.g. "/cars=GTR".

btw, you can find all commands in the lfs readme.

Thanks, i found the commands ok, its more where do you type the admin commands. you say type "/ " the admin command

Is that in a console or just the forward slash then the command?

It's in the "normal talking window". So just press 't' and then enter the admin command. Or just press '/' and the talk window will pop up with the / already written

Thanks Guys.

I'll promise to leave you alone for a while now

Ah, dont worry about it Thats what we're here for!

(yes, we are sad little people, sitting alone/at work, answering your questions )

Work? I thought they pay me just for turning up fully covered in clothes...

Ditto m8.

Likewise i'm stuck in the office. One day when my 6 numbers come up, i do something better. Nice to see helpful peeps around though. I have known some forums where the stock answer is rtfm, and whilst may be true doesn't endear someone to the game or the community.

See! We of the LFS community are nice folk!

£24 just spent. now to see what it really does (when i get conf. email etc)

Any recommendations on servers to play on (ours will remain demo for now as the rest of the lads only have that for now)

Most are pretty good to be honest. Just browse around for a nice low ping server, thats occupied. As a suggestion, I'd keep away from the Oval (a lot of oval racers are very touchy/kick happy), until you've done at least 1 start in single player, to get used to the inevitable spins.

I spin plenty already just using what i guess is the noob machine.

looking forward to tring some new course though as Blackwood gets a bit repetetive after a while.
