I do alright on most tracks given a bit of time with the mouse, i'm down to 1.00.52 on as club, its just having the rigt setup and practice and you can be competitive anywhere.

Its funny going on about getting taken out etc etc, i think if you just stay calm you can avoid 90% of the crashes on LFS. They pretty much only happen between two people who just won't give any space as though its life or death and then they go mad about the inevitable accident and start trying to ban and get revenge. I've seen so many people that race like that and some of them never seem to learn.

Just stay calm and learn when not to stick your nose in, most the time the other person goes off in their excitement anyway.

I've been having a lot of problems getting into LFS games recently, sounds a bit like whats being described here. I'm with a company who uses Pipex to provide the actual connection and a lot of the time i get errors when i actually try to join a game, or it hangs for ages trying to connect and then fails. When i do get in the bars at the bottom left of the screen? my one gets that red bit every few mins, then eventually it just gets worse and worse until it just times out or something, and i get cut off.

Doesn't seem so bad away from peak times but it still happens, so can anyone diagnose this? i don't quite understand what you guys are talking about with the internet provider doing something to ports? any ideas as to what i can do anyway? really miss having a good blast on LFS.

Just as a note this only started happening for maybe the last few weeks to a month, before then i'd had pretty much no issues getting onto LFS with my PC/ Internet.
