Getting my licenses!
Two licences actualy.

The first one is my restricted liscence (learners permit... im turning 15 on sunday), which i will be getting on monday, since the DMV is closed on sundays.

The other licence is my S2 licence, which i just got! Now heres the thing. Yeah, im happy to have it, but i cant use it. When i go to www.liveforspeed.net, and look at the top right, it says im S2 licenced, instead of S1, like it used to say.

However, when i go to the LFS game itself, it still says im S1.

Now, on the bottom left of the LFS main menu, above the orange exit button, it says "S1 License: SketchyRollin564"

When i had demo, it used to say "Unlock S2" or somthing like that. So i figured thats where i would go to unlock S2, from s1. When i click it, it just shows me my game name, and my game password, but in dots so you cant see it. It has an option to lock the game. So my question


Going from s1 to s2, do i have to lock my current S1 game, and then unlock it again, for s2? Id really like to use my S2 licence any time now.



Any help greatly apreciated.
Thanks!
yup that should do the trick.
Yay, Gratz Anthony on S2

You lock it, then unlock it, there maybe an upgrade button but i dont know
Yep, i got S2!! Played it a little last night, but it seemed to be REALLY dead compared to Demo. There was only 4 rooms with people in them, and they were all like 6 out of 11 people. Is this normal?


Anyways, i turn 15 tommarow (march 4th), but the closest appointment at the DMV to physically get my permit is on march 8th . Big deal? Only because in florida you have to have your permit for atleast 12 months (a year) before you can get your licence, or untill your 18th birthday.

Its a big deal because i really wanted to be able to get my licence on my 16th birthday, but i guess that isnt gonna happen. But 4 days isnt TOO bad'


Anyways, i got a huuuge resarch report to do, and its do tuesday, and i didnt even start it, so i wont be on LFS at all untill 10:00 PM (eastern time, for those in the U.S.), and ill hardly be on the forums. Why 10:00? idk, thats when i decide im too tired to get any work done, and itl be time for my brake untill the next day.


Anyways, ill shut up now.

Depends on your timezone, etc. You might want to fiddle with the filters at the bottom of the screen browser.

The problem with LFS is that its very european orientated, and the demo is too lax with little real incentive for racers to move into licensed territory; ergo most players are on in the evenings / weekends at european times.
S2 has more people on it from about 7pm GMT, for you, that would be 2pm.
But, people are still on till about 3am, when after that only a few servers have got people. but the STCC one does , as you know ^_^

There is a small group of us that are usually on between 9-11pm est. Look for us and feel free to join in.

Congrats on your s2 license.
Sketchy (or I guess your real name is Anthony, eh?), you have met a few of the long time veterans here in the US by the STCC server. You've raced with me (NightHawk), th84 (and a few others from the noobs team, probably Racer Y as I see he is currently on STCC, XCNuse, ZeroR has frequented STCC recently, and some others. There has been quite a few new folks as well, but we are definitely in the minority on LFS being from the US. Hmm, maybe we should get special privaleges or something since we are the minority. LFS welfare, eh?

Anyways, there is also the LOTA league that is run by Core and Land of The Free teams, which both have many veteran members as well. They are both great teams and team members to get to know. They don't frequent the public servers very often, but have their own public server for the LOTA league.

No, the user base here isn't very big. But the folks that have been here for a while, such as those I've mentioned, is very rewarding to race with. I'm also starting to be able to weed out in my mind the newcomers who I'd rather see in the servers as well.

Congrats on the S2 license and good luck with the real license as well. Cya on the servers.

Living in western Canada makes significantly populated servers a rarity. Finland is 9 hours ahead of me, for example . The only times I ever race on the STCC servers are on my days off.

You officialy have THE wierdest sleep cycle of everyone i have ever met, so im not even going to listen to you, seeing it was probably 5 in the morning when you typed this.


And nighthawk, yep i remember racing you. Idk why, but after being in demo so long, its a really good feeling seeing sombody in a race that youve seen on the forums. Its kinda like "hey, i know that guy!", but not really. Kinda like when you drive by or park by sombody with the same car as you, you can give them the thumbs up? Its like we both race and are a member of the same forum? Idk, ill just shut up.

hah. u sure?
atm its 4:40 am for me, and i got up at 1 am.
sometimes i play in the night and sleep while its day and sometimes reversed.
however i like (feel)
still sure that hes got the wierdest sleep cycle?
Dude, lemme tell you about s14 drifts cycle.

He sleeps directlyl when he comes home from school (at 3pm) untill 11:00pm. Then he stays up the rest of the night, and goes to school, and then when he comes home from school goes to sleep. Most people wake up right before they go to school, and stay awake after they come back. He goes to sleep right after school, and stays awake after 11pm, which is when most people go to sleep for school.

Wierd eh?

I love my S2. Citylife is addicting!
