No, I don't think so as of now, but I can't figure out a good reason in 2003 for having a demo account registered on lfs.net, if not for wanting to buy S1 since in 2003 there was no forum. That must be why the first users are all licensed.

There were many people using LFS at the time and this was your chance to reserve a name for your license. I'm sure that many people reserved more than one name, just in case they'd need it. As for no forums, well, there was one and it's still there.

Quote from Albieg :

Were demo users accounts originally imported to the LFS forum users database when the forum was created? If not, vari may well have been one of the first (if not the first) licensed users.

The dates were carried over from the name registration date at lfs.net, which is not the same as the day you became licensed. I've been #48 since the day I signed up.

Quote from RacerAsh3 :

And... what about the RSC forums?

What about them? Someone's join date at RSC is the date they joined RSC and does not correspond to a join date here. Unless the system here has changed, my join date looks to be the same as the day I signed up for a racers name.

Quote from jwardy :

i wanna know who was the first s1 licence'd driver .

Only the Devs could answer this as it'd be the first person who paid.

Quote from duke_toaster :

Doesn't it only create your account when you try to log in to the forum though ...

No. My join date is when I signed up for a name, not when I tried to get into the forums. These forums did not exist in January 2003.

I've attached a scan of the cover in case anyone's interested. It doesn't look as bad in a graphics program vs. IE7 and I lost a 1/4 inch on the right, the magazine's wider than my scanner.

I just received my free copy today and noticed that the front cover was a screenshot of LFS.

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

Well the biased moderators close any similar threads started in the LFS section, so what else can you do if someone is looking for a balanced poll.

:ices_rofl Yep, nobody over at RSC likes LFS. illepall

Someday, people may actually know what they're talking about before posting. Have you ever stopped and wondered why the thread isn't in either section and instead can be found where it belongs???

Quote from Viper93 :

Anyone know any mods in RSC that are sympethetic to LFS'ers. My RSC account seems to be locked and I cannot post on anything. It's been like that for months, there is never really intersting on RSC to post about so I never did anything about it... Any ideas anyone?

Next time just PM an admin/mod/supermod. You should be all set now.

Quote from rewolf :

Yes, but i dont know,where is my License key I have lost him

So, you lost both your license key AND forgot what your username is??? Have your teammates post for the skin.

It's a shame you can't race with your teammates.......

Next time, think before posting who won in the thread title. :chairs:

Quote from hamsterr0ttan :

Oh it is P. I have a license but not on this account u se...

Hrmm, posting as a demo user with an F08 spr you claim is your own... Seeing as this is a duplicate account of yours, you should use your S2 Licensed account from now on.

Download this: http://www.liveforspeed.net/?page=downloads&which=full
After you install and unlock it, you'll have an updated version of S1 which will give you access to all the cars/tracks that you had before.

For those of you who have failed to read the 1st post in this thread, here it is again. Please note item 3....

Post skins here for the: BF1 (BMW Sauber)
RULES:

1. ONLY Post Finished Skins
   
2. If you have a screenshot, please post the skin file also (not a requirement, but would be nice).
   
3. If you have the files hosted elsewhere, please DO NOT use [IMG] tags for screenshots, etc. It will make the thread load slower for 56k users.
   
4. Try to keep the chatter to a minimum, new people are viewing this thread to find themselves a nice skin, they don't need to scroll through pages of text to finally find something. If you want to comment on someone's skin, that is fine, but please... everyone is exploring their own creativity and personal tastes, so be supportive.

Thank You, and happy skinning! :cool:

For some reason Imola isn't being televised until next weekend, what's up with that? Does anyone know what's going on?

Why not just watch it on CBS?? It's taped delayed, but it's on NOW.

Quote from deggis :

I bet that's not the only post in there or rscnet.org where Kid's posts' only mission seems to be just piss off other people. I don't even like nK Pro (at least for now) but this is more about principles.

Principles? Does that mean I should ban you for your attitude in a few posts here + posting a crack?

Quote from deggis :

Couldn't care less? Still you keep posting here. I just want to say that f*ck you. You are a good example why LFS fans are so hated in the sim community. I bet you've posted that to rscnet.org forums at least 20 times, just to piss off others without any real value in your posts.

So, he's a good example of why LFS fans are hated? Either put a cork in it or explain how telling someone FU could possibly improve the image of all these so-called hated LFS fans... If you complain about the posts someone keeps making by dragging yourself down to the same level you see them at, you're no better.

If you dislike Kids posts so much, you could always try the smart thing and 'ignore' him.

The only thing you can do is to make them use your setup (a good one), make sure you're set to "Pro" and let them drive lap after lap. They speed up quite a bit compared to new AI, but are never all that fast.

Quote from faster111 :

Ok then if i get better will you vote for me?

Why should anyone believe that you'll improve if you failed to type that question properly?

Go to the Misc menu and play with your "minimum sleep". If it's at '0', raise it a little bit and your gameplay may become a bit smoother. Go too high and it'll lower your FPS.

What kind of FPS are you getting now? After a quick look, the settings to disable wheels/trees/flags/rubber are hurting you. Setting them to mirror or all will increase your framerate. If you choose 'mirror' you'll still see them in front of you, choosing 'all' will totally disable them. Turning the 'multiplayer speedup option' on may also help a bit.

Press T. For more keys, go to your LFS directory and take a peek inside the Docs folder.

Quote from XCNuse :

lets do the math when you hit that tree:
2744 lbs car X 10 mph = 27440 lbsmph of momentum comming to a halt in less than half a second

i dont know any knowledge about gforces and what all that would do, but you wont just 'walk away' from any small wreck like that, heres a deadly example i found in wikipedia:

C'mon, at least try to be realistic here and use some common sense. You say someone won't walk away from a 10mph impact??? Yeah, maybe if you hit a knife sticking out of your dash. Don't forget about the added safety of items such as bumpers, crush zones, aibags (although they probably wouldn't go off) etc etc. As an example, I've run into solid objects going at least that fast, gotten up and continued to move on.

Edit: All that momentum coming to a stop will affect the damage to the car and tree, not the driver.

Thanks what if you beat a record in a online game but not in hotlaps? does it not count?

No. Online, people can cut corners, hit obstacles and draft.
