Since there are people who would purchase S1 that think:

"wooo I don't think S2 is worth the price, I would buy S1, but I hear there are hardly any servers online so, so I'll wait."

Wait for what I'm not sure, however I just recently thought up this idea to improve the image and online availability of S1.

When someone runs a host that owns S2, usually it is stays on S2. So if there are any track/car combos that are within S1's availability, S1 users still can't race on that particular server. This dramatically decreases their chances of racing on line.

Here is my idea:

When a server changes to a track and car combo that are within S1's parameters, then the host should automatically switch to S1 allowing for any S1 user to join.

We've been through this before many times and the conclusion always is that it's just not worth it given how quickly a server can change cars/tracks and the other few restrictions that apply to S1 hosts, like grid size, although I'm not sure if these still apply or not.

As said, discussed, and I believe that it is on the list of stuff to do, from what I've been told by SamH (I think?).

Very good idea, although I don't know what the possibility's are. Also as mentioned above the server needs to keep changing all the time, maybe it could cost (too) much bandwith?

It's not your idea. Many people, including myself, have proposed this many times before.

Would it be possible that S1-users would join S2 servers if the track is from S1 and at least one car is usable by S1-users? Naturally, S1-users would only drive cars they are allowed.

For example: SO4 with LX4, LX6 and RaceAbout (I know, RaceAbout isn't in a same class, so there isn't lots of servers that has this kind of mixed cars...). S1-user would:
a) Spectate
b) Drive LX4
c) Drive LX6

sorry my searching abilities are that of a two year old however none of the threads that came up in the auto search on new thread start were relevant.

and you can delete this thread then

As in insim property for CTRA or LFS as a whole? and sounds good

LFS as a whole.
