It's pretty fun, and S2 is worth it in my opinion. I haven't played for over a year, I just got back

I have yet to find a server that can avoid faggotry long enough to complete a race. But if you like racing the XRT, there's about 40 servers dedicated to them running right now. Click "Demo" next to S2 and you'll see them all.

S3?? Work on S1 and 2 please. This game is inherently broken. Why can't I see S1 servers on the S2 list? Why can't demo racers see skins? Why are people "cruising" more than racing? This game is just broken in more ways than one, and until its fixed I see no reason to waste another dollar on it.

Thanks for reading.

LFS is just boring, it sucks... there are so many better racing sims out there. S2 was a major waste of money since there are more demo racers on at any given time. That's my opinion. Anyone who disagrees is a so-called "lfs fanboy" if you ask me.

Here's something simple for everyone, a Ferrari skin for yor FZ50. Its based on a Ferrari 550 without the scoop on the hood. I might do a more detailed Ferarri skin in the future, this was just from cruisin' with.

Anyone can use it if they want to, just let me know if you like it!

Quote from Austin31287 :

well had LFS about 2 months or longer and i still getting no were all i do it strugly around corner even though i do like the car in front and he get round soo easy and mine just not doing it.

Maby my G25 sets ain right or the ones in LFS options plz help before i deside to just give up

ty Austin

lolz orly? mmmk hmmm.... me think u just ned mre skilz.. kthx, bai!

Here's my opinion:

1.is it worth it ?
no

2. i only have keyboard is it still worth it ?
no

3.will i get noob crashers in there ?
yes (maybe even more than you're used to now)

also there are fewer people and less servers, some fake cars that don't drive realistically ... but just look how awesome the tires are!

GTR2 seems to be where lots of people have gone. In terms of advanced features and realism that game is top notch. I still drive on LFS servers once in a while, it runs really well on my computer at work. Mostly I've been spending time driving GTR2 though.

But you just joined the forums???....I thought u must be a long member on the forums...

that is actually not fair..Joining the forums, only for the contest

Yeah, that's called: "I have no class." These people are probably living off of welfare, they seem so desperate for someone to buy them a game, its like a group of orphaned children begging you for your change. :twocents:

That's great getting an S2 voucher just for copy & paste a story from somewhere else.

This would be cool if I paid to have everyone else be able to download my high-res skin, rather than me download theirs. That way my car will look good no matter if other people pay or not.

Isn't 2048 high-res? Someone was saying 1024 is, but uhh.... well you should allow 2048 skins as well.

Last edited by SKaREO, Mon 14 May 2007, 08:16.

First of all, I thought the uploaded skins were 1024 to begin with and 2048 was high-res, lol. I voted "I won't pay for high-res" simply on the principle of it. That is not enough of an upgrade to pay for, and while you're at it, care to pay me for making my skins high res and clean looking? That's silly!

However, if I decide to upgrade to S2, the extra couple dollars will likely go in for the high-res skins. I'm just not that thrilled about a high-res option, I would rather see new rally tracks or new cars before I see a new checkbox in my graphic options. I'm surprised we should even have to pay for something so simple.

Wow spam fest. If you don't have skins to show us, don't post. You're clogging up the thread with nonsense.

Castrol XR Turbo

This skin is for the XRT. This is my fourth LFS skin now, done in Photoshop from scratch. I found all the logos online and did the paintwork myself. I added carbon fibre to the hood and bottom edges front and back. I included the high res version for you to see the details. I hope you like this skin, it took me a considerable amount of time to complete; please do not modify it in any way.

Enjoy!

Past skins:
Castrol GTI
Castrol XR GT

This is the first I've heard about it. I never use manuals or training programs unless its too complicated to understand (or too simple for that matter.)

Quote from col :

I think there is something that has been ignored so far.

The market sector for LFS is NOT the same as that for most PC and console games !
It has been shown many times that a significant percentage of LFS users are older people who have financial responsibilities such as car, family, mortgage. Many of these folks are not 'gamers' and cannot justify regularly updating their system just for a 'game' (however good).

(There are also many licenced racers from less afluent countries where a high end PC system is definately a luxury)

Scavier obviously understand this which is why they have made sure from the outset that LFS works well on low end and older systems.

whats more LFS doesn't 'need' cutting edge graphics, its appeal is in its physics, the LFS community and a great online experience - none of which depend on graphics.

All of these are good points, col.

I still see room for improvements outside of the look of the game, and more for the engine its running on. It seems a bit laggy when there is a lot of cars together and that could be improved. Another thing is providing basic racing setups that aren't slow or hard to drive like the current defaults. Its very difficult as a newcomer to setup your car and learn how to drive at the same time.

I think this is a great game that just needs a bit of work on the edges to stay competitive.

I think moonclaw is demonstrating exactly why other people like the STCC system. It keeps people with no common sense out of the racing.

You always have the option of not going in the server if you don't want to.

Quote from Becky Rose :

I have now given up with insim until it has been completed. STCC has no choice but to close.

I would like to bring the servers back in the future, but I have to save my home first.

That's sad to hear Becky, I missed that post before I posted, but I am very upset to hear that. I am sure the community will come out and help any way they can.

If I can race anywhere, I choose STCC servers. They are very well regulated and I almost always find a clean race. I think they should expand the current STCC, but as the community has said, some people just don't want a system that filters out the n00b crashers. People might just want to race any car they feel like without demonstrating that they can, therefore not wanting a licensing system.

To each his own, I think the way it is now, having both options is great, but as I said I would like to see the STCC expand in some areas.

There's this game mode where you can drift all day... I think they call it Rally Cross, you should check it out! No but really, it makes more sense than ripping through a pair of tyres in less than 10 minutes.

Edit: Hey good of you to make a web site and you're willing to help people though, I should have mentioned that. I think drifting is just as fun as Rally, but it seems sort of pointless to "try" to lose control of the rear end. :biggrinfl

Quote from Falcon140 :

Drifter's Dream:

The perfect drifting machine!

I'm just wondering if that was a joke? Or is that just the slogan for it?

This is for the XR GT. Its my third skin for LFS and its following the Castrol theme. Its a little bit less sponsored than my GTi skin, but that's because the GT is sort of the underdog of the XR class.

I made a carbon-fibre body and added some dirt along the edges. Hope you like it! I also added a high-res skin for you to see. Feel free to use the skin on your car, but please do not modify it. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
