I want to see cars added, but I also want to see tweaked cars.

Such as how about a UFT? UF1 but with a turbo?

It could fit into the XRG,XFG class.

As well FXO without the trubo, could also fit in this class range.

I mean besides balancing these cars, are already modeled. Adds more racing variety why not?

Who would like to see more convertibles in LFS?

After watching these videos yes, yes I do.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :When you can't do more than a lap on a server, you most likely have a SERIOUS problem...


Are you using a router? If so, are the LFS ports/port forwarded correctly? If not, that's sometimes the cause of dodgy connections...

What are your ping times for English servers, and foreign servers? If there is a massive difference, the problem could be packet loss...or something

And is it any specific server you lose connection on? If it is, then it's probably a problem at their end...


Report back on these, and maybe your problem will become clear...

I also can rarly get one lap in when servers are busy so ill answer you questions as well.

No I try directly connected and still have issues (although I do use a router as well with little to no change.) Ports are open through my only firewall wall (windows) and when I am using the router ports are fowarded as well.

I have tested for packet loss and there is none as for ping times its usally on par with the average person. By pinging I mean just checking the ping times in games and I know mine are better then some worst then others. When I ping websites such as google.ca, lfsworld.com it usally is 100-200ms based on what the website is.

No all servers. Believe me I have worked with internet issues before but this one stumps me.

Actually for my issue I did find out something I have a Nivida network adaptor and when I use the nivida control panel under network settings it tends to crash. I think there is a good chance its related. I will do some further investigation on this issue but just so people know my drivers are up to date.

If anyone finds anything else regarding this issue please feel free to post .

I should have added, it is worst when server is busier however I still don't understand why its happening, it doesn't seem to be lack of bandwidth or anything like that.

though you are not giving much information I have same issue here is my problem.

My lag outs are quite strange, I can see everything going on and everyone can see me, I don't have the average lag I can read chat they can read mine, I don't lag or warp and my connection is solid. Then every once in awhile I can see my lag bar rasing and rasing till bam time out.

It doesn't matter if im directly connected or not, I can download things at 400kbs (my connection is 5mbs.) Other games I don't have this issue and my ports are open. I am using vista and never had this issue on xp yet have tried every fix possible. I am currently running off a fresh system as I just reformatted. here are my specs so its not my pc.

Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 quad CPU @2.4GHZ, 2gigs of ram, vista 32 bit.

I have tried several things so far such as disabling remote differntial tuning (or whatever its called.) Disabled my autotuning, made autotuning high (which seemed to work for a day. or so I thought.) my pc is only running one firewall windows which exceptions to live for speed, Virus and spyware clean, have used different ISP's and problem is only with this pc I don't know what to tell you any help is appreciated although I most likly have tried what ever you have suggested. It has been an issue for 6 months and I have ben googling for that long so PLEASE help.

Sorry for the double posts but I just want to say I sent the email and after about 2 hours decided to send another just because I had a feeling the first one didn't get through.

After about 15 minutes I got a response. It was saying I already got your first email but here your voucher again just in case you didn't recieve it the first time.

Talk about a weird feeling coming true and thanks so much to the customer service with the quick response and sending my code twice instead of just assuming I got it the first time. Also thanks to the response in this thread . and thanks for.. Ice cream or something

Quote from Vain :Contact the LFS support here and state your problem.

First off I tried searching and finding my answer had no luck. ok heres my situation.

I orginally purchased the voucher for a friend through paypal. I don't use a credit card so it took abotu 2 weeks to clear. Now it is cleared and I have not recieved it yet. Of course I know these things sometimes take awhile. so while playing around with my account I noticed something. I had entered my email adress wrong. it was c.om instead of .com at the end. I am just wondering do they send the voucher through the paypal email or the account email. I assume through the paypal email in which case I can just wait patiently. If not what should I do?

thanks for the help in advance.

Demo and skins?

S2 licensed
I am sure this has to be somewhere on the forum but I am just wondering if people who have the demo can see or use skins? My friend downloaded the demo and he can't? I even sent him the skins and installed it to the skins folder no luck. Did he just install it wrong or is this something with the demo.

Quote from 96 GTS :My friend had that wheel, you don't want it, it's pretty much junk. Trust me, spend the money, and get a proper FF wheel, I promise you will be happy you did.

What was so junky about the wheel? and the formula GP wheel is about the same price any news on that.

PS I decided to wait a bit longer oh and I said respond fast because I was going to go get it after school but im not leaving for another two hours now.

I appreciate the response but basically on one has used the wheel seems to be the general response i'm getting at. I think I will get the wheel as it is only
$50 canadian. thanks anyways guys and if worse comes to worse i'll return it and consider spending more,and maybe get one of the expensive wheel's you guys recommended. But at the time I don't have that money to spend
