Despite that I'm still a Demo user, I feel grateful to be able to race in a F1 car, and the textures look amazing!

S2 is within my sight! I can almost smell --- er.. well you know what I mean .

See ya around, and I'm glad for most of these changes, and its true, maybe things are edgy.. but it'll soon all get fixed with the new versions.

Which reminds me, S3 will come out.. but when? I would be great to know at least what year of its arrival is .

See ya!

Lol GP4Flo, I private messeged them BOTH about that.

and I politely asked them, so that they can actually remove it and not say that we are going to cause trouble, in fact, I think i have the perfect logo for them maybe NFS is better for them as their logo.

Yeah I took my time typing a formal, nicely asking letter to please remove it, that way they will. (I hope)

Otherwise, i'll just ask my friend to hack it, and thats the end of the logo issue, although that would be kinda harsh don't you think?

Hope I convinced them

"Hello Zia, These are the fans and moderators requesting for you to change the logo of your site.

It is a violation under many circumstances, that you have used our logo for your site.

We do not have any intention of pursuing you unless needed, but we would like you to replace the logo with something else, because Live For Speed, is for the Game, not for a family-safe torrent site.

Please find another logo, we'd greatly appreciate it. Please do not make us pursue the subject again.

Thank you and best wishes.

The LFS Staff,Moderators, and Fans."

Hello, I have just looked at the site, and yes they have used it with any credit or permission from the LFS Developers, I suppose with the Data we have from one of the earlier posts that Jakg made (thanks Jakg) to see if this can be pursued, although I'm sure they'll remove it if they are smart.

Another thing I would like to point out is that this was found today, I'm sure within a day they will read their Private messages and will remove it, otherwise most likely a hacker that may be reading will help out and just remove it for us hmm, do I smell someone hacking the torrent site?

BTW, Jakg, who did you get that info anyways, cause someone did that to me once and scared me.. LOL

Hello everyone, I just need to make a suggestion for Patch Y,

whenever someone leaves the pits, somehow I sometimes appear right on someone else. I'm confused because the person, and me, would exit the pits fairly at the same time, or at a 1 second interval.

is this a glitch, or just a simple coincedence? I think its just a little glitch, since it happens even though I've reinstalled LFS a few times, still happens.

Just wanted to let you know, hopefully it can be wrinkled out.

Honestly, I just got tired of complaining, and whats worse, I don't have enough money to buy S2... so now I am going to just lay back from LFS, its been a great part of my life, but Patch Y ruins demo users... and to be honest..

I know that S2 people don't care... but seriously, wouldn't you be a bit annoyed if you couldn't afford it, and you couldn't use the most used car in LFS History?

Oh well... I'm gonna regrettably start searching for something else..

I will never forget LFS, but I just don't have the same feeling now with Patch Y... its just not as fun.. I just wish S2 was budget friendlier.

Nick

PS. Happy Holidays.

My friends and I have been using the Older Version just to fool around with the BESpoke program... since we sometimes design some wheels on it, and when we do, the game kicks me out of his server... with that messege, and also the desert mod sometimes kicks me out in the latest version PatchX10..

But thanks anyway, and I installed LFS all over again, without the Desert mod, and it seems to work now !

Maybe trying to change DDS files wasn't such a good idea after all.. lol!

Oh ok, I'll just download LFS again, but what about the Servers I've been banned from?

and yes I have been you BESpoke, and sometimes it happens to me when I'm using the Desert Mod.. ??? any idea why?

Kk, but thanks Guys!

Quote from jayhawk :

:shhh: Mr. Smith was being sarcastic. And an accomplished smartass he is!

LOL I'm guessing thats why he's one of the Moderators lol.....

I'm joking, but yea, I didn't know he was being sarcastic, and I'm sorry I assumed that he was being a prick

Quote from Bob Smith :

Oh Fordman comes from Norfolk, just ingore him. Drives a 1.8 litre focus? Lies, I tell you! They don't even have roads in Norfolk!

Umm.. no... Don't be that way, everyone has the right to express their opinion, and thats just cruel of you...

if you don't like his post, YOU can ignore it, but don't be telling other people what to do!

sheesh, just because you don't like it doesn't mean you can be a prick about it ......

LOL Your Sarcasm is extremely good, !! I didn't know you could go so far like that LOL!

Thank You Fordman, I agree completely, you basically said what I could say in words.. What happened to LFS over the Autumn? I remember back in September everything was fine, but somethings not right, and something tells me that its Too much focus on the cars, and less interest on the ambience of LFS.

I mean, I think, To be honest, we could really get a Night Option in LFS going, the Night mod stinks, it sets the base level for the production of the Night Option though.

I'd say rain, and snow should be added too, YES I know that its easier said than done and that the game might have to be changed massively to obtain these features.... but thats what LFS is about... experiencing the closest thing to Real Life Racing.

"Yea, but your saying that the car isn't important.." NO! The car is one of the most important things in a Race Simulator. and the cars are fine the way they are, why add more stuff if no-one requested it?

For instance, people have been requesting the backfire effect while your downshifting, that would make LFS much more realistic, thats a good detail, and its not as hard, seeing that some people have accomplished it..

Hear the voices of the racers! and I'm sorry to those who think that I'm whining,complaining,flaming, and or wrong, but I feel that way...

Long Live LFS, For the Racers, for the Thrill, for the moments like:

[STI]Allen: WTF? Use your brakes damn it!
Und_Harley: SORRY! I was looking in the glove compartment :P
GlenXRacing: Lol!
[STI]Allen: Lol......

Keep the most important element alive: Fun,Excitement,and Determination to win!

BUT:


I see the other side as well, LFS is growing immensely, and even though there are alot of people flaming, surely at least we know people care and play :lfs:

LOL, I can't wait for LFS S3, and S2 Patch Y, despite the differences, WE all get accustomed to it... even if it means I have to hate some of the features, but I'm going to stay with LFS, because I met too many people, and I continue to meet more, and I cannot leave because of that.

Hello,

Today while trying to join a server in Demo, it took a little longer to join, if that matters.

Then I went to Leave the pits by Pressing Shift+J. The second my car appeared, it vanished, and it said Lost Connection to Host.

Although when I try to go back into the Server, says "Track Info. not found.. etc."

but when I went to join another server, the same thing happened, only this time I saw that Next to my name appeared this :CPW I don't know what that means? and why is it happening, I'm guessing that trojan that entered my computer somehow messed up my LFS folder.. but I don't think that is the case since I can join a few servers without that problem.

Please help, I still don't know why I'm losing connection suddenly when I leave pits...

Nick

Quote from Cue-Ball :

Have you tried viewing a replay when this kind of stuff happens? If the replay shows it, it might be easier for Scawen to investigate.

True, I'm going to check if I can repeat it again.. since I didn't save anything because the computers would crash when the whole choppy porb on LFS happend...

It a bit weird now... its like removing the XRT is forcing you to buy S2... and sadly I don't have enough and I don't know if I can win one from that site that gives them away as a prize if you winn a series of races.

Oh well, but yes, I'll check on that Cue-Ball

Quote from unseen :

A tiny bit of lag, and hitting the side of the pit walls/divider meaning the old collision bug-o-matic physics doing their magic?

It seems, but I'm not sure, because it didn't happen on my Laptops, seeing they are wireless, I'll check on that, BRB!

Also, when the game gets slow, in big races, The Graphics for the Scenery and track degrade.. badly.. I don't know if maybe the game is intending to do this as to not crash, but is this normal?

Quote from Origamiboy :

You are missing the point. Before X30 many LFS demo-ers stuck with it with no real intention to buy S2 because they could drift in the XRT. The demo is intended to be a taster for S2, not a free game.

As has been said, the demo now reflects more accurately what LFS is about, and gives demo users more of an incentive to buy. Personally, I think Scavier have been more than kind with demo content thus far.

The devs need to eat, you know...

Ok, I get it, FB02 has to be part of the demo, and yes I agree that Scawen does need to live.. lol otherwise he wouldn't be doing this..

I'm sorry for all the last posts, but yes, I see what you mean... XRT gave alot of freedom, but I just didn't want LFS Demo to become too small.. I'd stongly suggest that video on You-Tube which is amazing... titled "Just Racing", that SHOULD be the official Video for LFS, which looks amazing, and People then will see whats Ahead of them if they buy S2, if they want to experience the True-to-Life racing..

Nick

PS. I have an Encoder for OGG Tracks, is it possible to switch them over to MP3, and have a custom Folder in LFS where you can put in your favorite songs???? lol this is also probably mentioned a thousand times

but thanxs Origamiboy.. You've helped me re-discover what LFS is really about.. lol An Online Massive Multiplayer Racing Simulator, and one of the best!!!

I'm having the same problem, or simliar... whenever I join a large game, the game seems to lag badly, and also starts to act wierd, the car sometimes just starts crumpling up??? by itself until the wheel basically are Horizontal what the heck could that bug be?

I've tried in in 5 computers, and it happened in 2 of them, 3 Desktops and 2 Laptops, it happened in 2 of the 3 Desktops??

ALso, the when I start from pit in a busy server, the Car goes flying out of the pit and shoots backwards and slams into the fence.. ??? what could that be?

The only problem thats disturbing many people when they hear about it is that The XRT will be unavailable..

Yes, Scawen was kind and gave demo users the FB02...

but.. the XRT is more popular, people have setups for it..

also why have an amazing car, I mean, Really, you should have the FB02 available in S1, and leave the XRT for demo.. since its been there since way back...

Also, having a new car means more people will want to buy LFS, switching it will not help...

Seriously, think about it... I'd leave the XRT... and make the FB02 avail if you have S1.. or S2 if you bought the whole thing ..

Ok, so some of you don't care about demo users... well then.. how do you think people join? by trying out the demo of course! and If you have veteran demo users thinking about buying LFS... and now they can't use their favorite setups,, well thats just bad...

I honestly hope Scawen switches it back.. unless he wants people to sign a petition for it.. lol

Please return the XRT, and let those who paid for LFS enjoy the FB02...

Nick

Yes I know the XRT is still, there, and no I do not take LFS Demo for granted, in fact I'm very happy about how Scawen decided to give demo users the FB02 car..

and for some of you who have tried to make me buy it, Yes its not as easy as it is up in Europe or North America.. but I will get one. rest assured..

I'm a bit devastated... The game looks amazing now.. but they removed one of the most used cars in LFS history.. the XRT...

I seriously would consider putting it back, even if it means we can't have the FB02....

Over a thousand users have tried LFS, and more than half have returned from time to time, some come everyday..

The XRT is one of the most iconic cars in LFS, I'd say put it back! Please.

As for the course, brilliant, but many people are already upset and aren't willing to use the New patch IF it does come without the XRT...

Its a sacrifice I'm willing to not pay... I'd keep the XRT than the FB02... honestly...

GREAT Improvements, and I'm glad its only a test...

Please think about it.. PLease!

Thanks for answering his Question! Lol yeah its A LOT! I'll save up though..

Nick

Thank you chanonman, I'll go for it, that'll free me of my restraints Oh ok, I;ll wait, but he's driving people nuts with my name lol and thats my team name... oh well, these people have nw social life, what can ya do??

I am getting sick of this... and I can't get S2... this just sucks...

Nick

Hey guys, I'm on the Skyline2 Server in Demo, and there's this guy who keeps signing on as me,

I would like him to be banned of all LFS.. he's crashing everyone
Please help... He always refers to Spartans or somthing like that..

ALso people have told me that he's imposing me... how can I stop him?

Please help

His name is Goate, and he imposes everyone ,unless he uses the name mentioned before...

True true, I can't wait!

Lol 2008 IS the year it evolves, or so I'm Begging it will be!

Nick

Sorry, I might have a tpo on that Kowala Title..

Anyways, AMAZING! BRILLIANT! but now this has just triggered something... not a big detail but:

Is it possible that there will be Animated Bystanders? I mean, imagine spinning out and ramming into a wall while Bystanders rush away from the wall? lol just a thought.

South City looks real, its not digital anymore, its only hair widths away from looking real!

I'd say there should be an LFS Race Park, where all the tracks are available and for real lol

jk jk, but it would be cool right?

Just look at those Ai's leaving the pits, GOLDEN WORK RIGHT THERE!, looks robotic, but hey, Vast improvement! LFS is growing!

Nick

2008: the year LFS evolves into LFS S3!!!

December 2, 2007

LFS S2 Alpha
In a recent post, Scawen posted one of the most important posts of time.

It’s not known whether it’ll be called Patch Y or X14… rumors have it it’ll be called Patch Y.

This Post sums up of what the update will contain, but I strongly recommend that you watch the Movie Scawen uploaded.

This patch contains a new car for S2, the BMW Formula FBO2. It also contains improved physics, a retouch of the BlackWood GP Track, which looks great! Another great feature added is the AI’s which can now exit from the pits! They will also be smarter, in which Scawen explained that the AI’s now factor their tire wear and other little details. Mentioned in the video, the engine can now overheat, this adds to the realism since now players will have to factor engine heat into their racing.

For S2 players, South City has been vastly improved in graphics, from what is seen by the video, the course looks amazing, and seems to have been refreshed with new textures.
Info about the movie, Scawen gets to drive the Formula BMW FBO2 which is known as the V1. Scawen is a Pro! Compare the V1 with is LFS model, exactly alike; no doubt this’ll be one of the best patches yet!

Fantastic, brilliant work! LFS continues to grow into a vast network; this’ll be our Christmas Present!


Great Work Dev’s!!!, Just imagine what LFS S3 will bring us….!

Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to all!

Nick


2008: the Year LFS will evolve to LFS S3!
