I can only get the car type editor to come up. How do I get the single car editor to come up?

I'm hosting it now, the server name is Drift to Live (in red font). It should be up 24/7.

Quote from Leifde :

Sorry but you won't be able to get into Moo at all. Unless you get like 100 WRs, then maybe we'll consider you

what is WR's?

Quote from Leifde :

Unfortunately it happens in real life racing, people don't like newer people being faster and in front of them.

@Preston - good to see you're trying to change your ways although I would have thought a better time to do it would have been when I kicked you off Moo.

Yea, well I dont think Ill be able to get back into Moo for awhile?

Quote from Jakg :

no offence, but YOUR the one thats caused this, you being banned is not a punishment, its protection for the good clean racers not to get wrecked by some immature twat, like most wreckers seem to be, if you say you've changed, then great, but how can you prove it?

Racing you or sombody else in a server full of people.

Quote from mrodgers :

My thoughts. People generally don't change, they grow up. They mature. That is not "I've changed my ways". That is a fact of getting older. Though, not everyone grows up and matures as they get older. There are plenty just here in LFS who have never matured, yet are older. They get on the servers, crash and wreck (not meaning purposefully here), then get all bent outa shape when someone tries to help them. Or the opposite happens when people get all bent outta shape because of a newbie or less skilled racer is on the track with them.

"Once a wrecker always a wrecker" doesn't work for me. I've done my share of mischief as a youngster, which is all the wrecker attitude really is. I'm now 34 and no, I'm not getting myself into that mischief any more. I've grown up and matured (many moons ago, that is ). The unfortunate thing for Preston, is that he found out his license that he paid for just a few months ago is pretty much useless now after his "mischief". Perhaps it was a growing up lesson for him finding out that he is banned everywhere worth going to in LFS from his actions. Perhaps he has changed now due to some fast maturing and learning the consequenses of his ways. As long as he stays banned, then no one will ever know.

Preston, I really do hope you have learned and have matured a bit from this experience. It is a lesson of growing up, that everything you do may have consequenses held against you.

Good luck to you. Nice to see you come here with a public apology. Whether it is because you are upset that you can't go on the servers and have your "fun" anymore or the fact that you have matured from this we can't know. But coming here with the apology is a nice gesture and I hope a sincere gesture.

Thanks for your support, I just hope I will get unbanned from alot of servers, its no fun going into the ones with 1 or 2 people and racing them.... Well thanks again.

Quote from (SaM) :

People can certainly change. All they need is a worthy motivation to do so.
I think there's a good chance Preston won't wreck as it seems he has found out how useless it is to do so. Racing is something you need a start with to be competitive, but after you're off, it's way more fun than wrecking.

Preston, I'm curious, why did you wreck in the first place? Were you trying to express social irritations online? Or what? Lie down on the sofa and tell Dr. Sam..

Hi Dr.Sam my name is Preston age 15, USA, and I'm a wrecker.
ok Dr.Sam I was just getting used to the game. I joied a race at first and was getting my steering wheel set up and started driving, well I got out of pits and my gas wouldnt let off so I had no brakes and I rammed a bunch of people at a turn they all were hatfull and were like omg wtf noob and then it just said ban, I didnt even get a chance to explain, so then I was like F that so I just went around wrecking b/c I was like you know what ever.

Quote from dadge :

did you know a tigers skin is spotted (it's fur is striped) i swear lads it's true. imo once a wrecker, always a wrecker. you say you have stopped wrecking but i think it's more like "i have not been cought since the last time". someone said (tristancliffe i think) that you might not wreck until you get bumped or something nasty is said to you then the wrecker in you will be unleashed again. i believe this to be very true.
you shouldn't be wrecking in the first place, this is not single player.

Well I can asure you if sombody wrecks me ill just ignore it, its only a game as alot of people say, and I wount take my emotions out on the whole server.

Quote from JTbo :

I'm perhaps naive, but I believe people can change, when given opportunity. Crying that people won't change and not giving this guy a opportunity will just makes shit to happen, I hope that those who don't believe people could change would drop it and stand back, see how things go and if things go back to old you can have your laugh, but before that just watch and eat your popcorn

I wish that thread starter will stay strong and don't let negative opinions let you down and drag back to old bad habits, show them you are better

Thanks for standing up for me, and I am staying strong, the only people that could ever put me down would have to see me in real life and tell me it to my face in real life, then they have a little bit of a chance to put me down

Quote from mikey_G :

I have found that out myself. People just change the way they act temporarily.

And a funny thing is that you first apologize for your wrecking, and then want to make movies of your wrecking...

Hmm maybe you didnt read it right, but what ever your just trying to change the attitude of this thread and turning it to somthing it shouldnt be, so bug off.

Quote from mikey_G :

Training with AI is useless imo, and people don't change.

People do change, get out more and find out for yourself.

Quote from mikey_G :

Well said, and I hope the admins keep it that way, A tiger don't change his stripes.

But see a tigar cant change his stripes I can change my ways. I've been practicing in sp with AI and like I said it could take more than a month b4 im ready.

Quote from JTbo :

I can't make really a movies, but there was LFS movie guide sticky at moves area, I believe, you might get started from there and on that area there is many guys who knows how to make movies, just make sure use search there before starting new thread as there is perhaps lot of answers to questions already

DFP is actually not necessarily making driving any faster, perhaps bit slower first and lot more real like. At least my times got worse when I got dfp and I could not even catch tail at beginning, now going bit better as I slowly learn.
Most gain I have got when I have learned more patience and calm my heart as at early days when I was on good lap I got too excited and spoiled that lap because of it, focusing to be calm has helped there.
For young people it is harder as their passion is so strong so they need to work harder to overcome of excitement.
Surely long marriage helps with that too

Yea im only 15 so im not married, maybe if I keep my hands outa the cookie jar for a few hours

Quote from tristancliffe :

A movie for noobs about noobs by a noob - sounds... err... awesome.

A leopard never changes it's spots, so I hope server admins don't unban you until you've proved yourself able to drive properly... Not that you and I will ever have a race (unless you count racing as just being at different ends of the same starting grid).

Thanks yea I can prove in a month maybe, gotta get a new stearing wheel I have the old Driving force wheel with only 180 degree wheel turn I wanna get the DFP but idk if I am yet.

Quote from JTbo :

It could be educational movie, things you shall never do or thou will laid down by a lightning or something along those lines

Have you found good driving tips from beginners section already and do you have got new questions about anything specific?


Ctrl+shift, nice, even I did not know that, maybe I'm still noob too

Yea haha, you got aim or msn I need sombody to help me with the movie, I can produce it just need to find some videos and just sombody to work with

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Thanks for your apology. And thanks also to all the server admins who've banned you to make sure I never have to put up with your car being in the same race as me. Thanks guys!

Np

Quote from P1lot :

When the list of connected racers is visible, holding ctrl+shift shows racers username instead of display name. So there's no hiding behind multiple names like in demo mode.

It's the username that is banned

O ok, I knew its the username thats banned.

Quote from sidi :

I guess once you sussed out ppl just need to press ctrl+shift to get your licensed name you had to change your ways and for a tip i can only suggest hard work as lfs demands lots of practice

What does ctrl+shift do?

Quote from Hankstar :

What an utterly odd thread. But not in a bad way - I've simply never seen anything like it on any LFS forum!

Kudos to you, Preston :up:

Thanks

Thanks for the tips lol.

Quote from CSU1 :

And DON'T EAT AND DRIVE!!!

What about Drinking and Driving?

Hello everybody. For some of you, you might know me as Preston4321, RED, FalconF17 and many more names.

I have been "noobing" around and wrecking people on purpose in servers the past few weeks, and It needs to stop. I know I have a problem when it comes to playing right and I acknowlage that. I would like to Publicly Apologize to everbody b/c I've messed up alot of races and racers and I can asure you it WILL NOT happan anymore. I would hope the bans I have gotton in servers would be lifted but if not thats fine its the fact that I apologize that matters to me and hopfully you to.

Also on the other hand if you have any tips for new drivers like myself if you could post them thanks.

Congrats, your retarded, how does it fill?

Yea the first few turns you really dont need to brake or slow down.

Quote from KMSpeed :

Well Done

hehe, thanks

Yea that track was supper fun though, once I figured out T1 and T2 didnt need any braking, I just floored it
