Hello LFS Racers,

Inspired by the Blast from the past! thread where some community members were trying to get an old S1 version working, with some success, yesterday afternoon I dug up the source code for test patch S1H6 (released in March 2005). In a few hours it was up and running again. Three small changes were needed so that :

- it works with the new master server
- it can be unlocked on the latest Windows versions
- there is no need to earn credits to unlock cars

This update has now been released as S1H7. So if you are interested in a bit of nostalgic racing, give it a go!

If you already have S1H installed you can just update the EXE :
LFS_S1H7_EXE.zip (EXE only, S1H must already be installed)

Alternatively you can install a FULL VERSION S1H7 :
LFS_S1H7.exe (full version, no patch needed : 90 MB)

Here is a dedicated host download of S1H7 in case you want to run a host :
LFS_S1H7_DEDI.zip (dedicated host : 1 MB)

Have fun!

lol nice, thx.

Oh god, LX6 /ragequit

Great

Neat!.

wait, is that an LX5??

Nono, just due to the quality / size of picture the LX6 seems to be LX5.

People are waiting for s3 and you release s1.

I am waiting S4...

Anyway, good to see developer support on that S1 thingy. Sadly driving in S1 makes me feel sick

Awesome, makes me feel nostalgic.

Thanks for that again, it brings back the old memories.

This is fantastic for me and few oldies here. I missed that s1 feeling. Anyone for some mrt5 action today?

Lets play all of us in 19.00 gmt +3

Thank you!

And for Vista users with no engine sound problem, as mentioned in other thread

Go to "Options/misc" and set "Sound lag" > 0.25

Yep can confirm that fix. Still have 1 or 2 sound issues but they're LFS noises [like beeps] rather than car noises.
