So I'm part of the [TC] forums, where I saw one of their fun nights was on 0.3HS1 so I decided to DL it just to see how much this game has changed since then.. And I noticed a few fun things (notibly in steering) that could be changed:

Inclination
Scrub radius
Caster
Track (I had fun experimenting with it)
Supers on an xfg

The one I want back quite a lot is handbreak per wheel, since I have hardly any brakes on my sets but I require a strong HB and in the current version I'm sorta buggered on that front.


(Also 45 degree on an xfg, what are the devs thinking?)


(Also I'm a demo user suggesting things.)

Quote from Shirtkicker :

Why not just buy the game so that you can enjoy Westhill and all the other great tracks on offer?

Most things I suggest are apart of the community, why I don't buy the game? I don't spend alot of time playing it, so throwing £12 minimum into it for literally 5 mins every 2 weeks if I'm lucky, there's no point.

But think, the editor exists, the facebook group I'm in posts videos about layouts, so I thought it would be a good idea, but this "Guilty even if innocent" approach wouldn't help new players either way.

Plus I have seen westhill on video's, doesn't look appealing to me at all.

Make this an option for a track, increase the amount of objects allowed and I'm sure the layouts will be flooding in like nothing we've really seen before. Like, have it span twice if not more then westhill!

Now this is an odd one

Adding bind presets for EACH of the control tabs (Controls, Axis's and Chat) for the reasons of some people might switch controllers around a lot.


SPECIFIC OWN REASONS I flit from different insim to insim commands, most are bound to my 360 controller however when I'm drifting I have my usual binds of sorry and its okay, I have a few joke ones servers without swearing dislike.


HOW IT COULD BE IMPLEMENTED Use control and f1-12 depending on if they aren't used yet, or the numpad keys to switch presets (Control)

Where as for chat it could be shift f1-12/numpad keys

MY USUAL THING[/center]
Please. Please give constructive criticism or just something I can work with, just a smile 1 line or 5 words won't say much about a reply.


Thanks

I'm finding it increasingly hilarious when people decide to post videos of LFS whilst using VOB mods. Seriously. Posting a video which features a VOB (Even if its a uf1 in the backround) it shows doesn't it? And surely these people know the forums are moderated and they hopefully know VOB's aren't aloud.

But why do people do this (Seriously. Look at facebook groups for drifting. They're rammed full of VOB modders... I think even a few in quite good teams)

Its funny though isn't it?

For dust its now in DDS under DUSTALPHA.dds (When I re-texture it I make a DUSTALPHA.dds and DUST_ALP.dds) But with shine. Not sure...

So I know we can make suit skins but we only have a few options. Why can't (Like with helmets and cars) make skins for Suits and upload them to LFSworld for people to see ingame. This will also give us a lot more ability to make suits for singleplayer since that way our options aren't too limited.

(As I say with anything now. Constructive criticism please)

Quote from jkat :

It tells the guy does not look around too much.
Just write westhill layout to search field of forum and u will get couple of choices to go

Htatatata. Westhill does have good spaces aye. But still. It doesn't have great rally capabilities as far as I know. So. Why can't we get a rally map? Or a wide, open dirt version of autocross. Hell why can't we have a HUGE space to make our own tracks ect...?

done many times

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :

suggested before long time ago

Then doesn't that say something in itself?

Also I'll say this now. If you comment please make it more then 1 line and somewhat constructive.

SO WHY THIS IS A GOOD IDEA?!


Engine fire: Because I race with the hud off I can't tell if my engine is broken (Plus it'd give a good visual effect)

Oil spills: In real life oil can spill where in some races it causes a yellow flag and the racers to go into the pits whilst the oil gets cleaned.

Pace car: Now you can do it with a person but why can't it be done by AI? Give the AI pace car these things:
Skin
Speed limiter (For pace speed)
Passing detectors.

Error: Chrome and Firefox will refuse to connect as the connection isn't private.
I have tried downloading with VPN's and Chrome. Firefox. IE. And also through internet proxies.
Thanks.

Quote from racer autov8 :

Is it?
It's not as far as i know

As far as I head heard Tweaking ECT is against the rules.

First things first.. Delete this thread. Its against live for speed rules.

-Thanks
-One.

Well thanks for clearing it up. I had gotten the 5 unlocks from an online source.

Quote from UnisonOne :

LFS has a set number of unlocks (In my opinion to stop account sharing to an extent with this) I don't believe there are any work arounds so.... Enjoy the wait~!

But in your account you can see how many unlocks you have left for the week.

-Unionone

I believe the limit per week is 5 unlocks?

Quote from theponczek :

Quote from joordy599 :

Hello,

I was thinking about a nice improvement about server selecting, in the latest 0.6 version. What I am still missing in the game what was added first is that people not longer able to select what license they would like to race. Here down below is a screenshot to make it more understandble. I would like to have that back in the game so that people can choose on which license they want race, drag or cruise.

http://prntscr.com/avtucp

Thank You!

Yes it can be.

The advantages:

For s1/demo - Most servers are S2 and still show up. So adding the filters is a good idea
For s2/s3 - Some s2/s3 people might want to race/drift on a demo/s1 server too. Making it good.

Quote from Scawen :

You need to buy a license, then you can use layouts.

The Demo is just a "demonstration" of LFS, so you can decide if you want to buy a license.

Why did this turn into a thread about layout editor. The origional question in no way had layout editor in-mind (To what I can see) You can make a cruise-server 2 ways without. On blackwood you can have at least 2 streets:

The two straights (Start and back) then the chicanes.

I now have a question why a question about insim turned into a question about layout editing.

Quote from Skytrill :

I understand the password saving in browser part and I agree with it but in this case it is the same account, no matter if there are TWO passwords. The GamePassword and the WebPassword are tied to the SAME account so creating another LFS account for posting doesn't seem to make any sense. I don't think LFS SLAPS people in the face with two passwords.. actually it seems much more safe that way but that it just my opinion

Eheh I can't remember this accounts webpass for the life of me I have it written down. If I lost that bit of paper expect UnisonTwo

Quote from Skytrill :

Always funny to see demo players complaining about the lack of tracks, cars, features and yeah.. they all have another magical account somewhere with full license and they're not using it because they want to keep it clean, like a collector edition disk that you want to keep scratch-less. I thought it was even forbidden to post with many accounts for a single user although I may be wrong.

Now this could be due to cracking OR the fact LFS requires TWO passwords. TWO not one. So think if you use ONE password then lfs slaps you in the face with the TWO you might not have a memorable WEBPASSWORD or GAMEPASSWORD.

Now don't complain to me how "Every browser has password saving" I know this. But some people WON'T use this (Me included) since my pc is a family pc. Some people might be in the same boat on this one.

Yes I know its how these unlocker users ask for skins. However sometimes people can be asking for the legitimate reason.

Kinda sucks that the result of piracy makes the LFS community this acidic.

So my best friend keeps complaining how he hates forums and will refuse to post in one (Jeez such a poof) but he wants a sort of grey scale skin with "SilentShadows" written down the side. However he'd like the patterning to be like a JDM drifter.

I have said to him as I'm posting this I will also have access to render the skin too.
