Thx very much, and Cya!

Quote from Silverracer :

Yellow Flag: (from wiki)

i.e. There is a crash ahead / slow car(s) on track / car stopped on track. You should approach with caution. Usually you are not supposed to overtake others when the yellow flag is shown; you might get penalized - but this rule is not enforced in public racing servers.


Blue Flag: (from LFS Manual)

i.e. A car is coming up to lap you - you should not block him. The servers usually have their variation for what you should do under a blue flag. Most of the time, you should hold your line whist the faster car should overtake you in a safe manner.

There are a couple of cars in LFS S1/S2 with turbo charged engines. The 3 demo cars do not have turbo.

You can get car setup tips from the LFS Manual. Basic Setup Guide and Advanced Setup Guide.

Have a look through the whole LFS Manual. You'll learn lot of new stuff!

Cya on track

Press tab (click on the arrows on the map) to switch between other drivers (you'll be able to see other's driving with the cockpit/chase/tv views). However you won't be added as a "passenger" in to the car.


As Jonathon mentioned, the demo is there to give you as taste of LFS. Its there to let you have a go and then tempt you to buy a S1/S2 licence. If there were more content, people might race in LFS for years and years without ever buying a licence.


You can create your own Autocross layouts (or download cool ones that's already made by others). They are great fun! Some of the autocross objects were upgraded just a couple of months ago too! Autocross objects are disabled for demo licensed players. One of my favourite ones:

I think the damage model will be updated in the future. I cant find if Scawen mentioned this or if it is rumours - but there is likely to be "break-off" damage (i.e. parts of the car breaking off when you crash...).

Well... its better to get rid of the rammers! Try and race in well maintained servers (the ones that have mature admins who can kick of people who cause havoc).


Oh, but there is one already!

You have to use the feature via LFSWorld. First of all, log into the LFSWorld and then from the LFS Desktop open "Online Racer Stats" (. Type in the friend's username that you want to add to the friends list. Say for example, "Scawen".

When you can see Scawen's stats - click on the Buddy Menu () and then on the first option: Add Scawen to your buddy list.

Now, from LFS Desktop, open Live Alert (). Under the first tab, "web alert", you'll see the people that you have added when they are online (i.e. Scawen is racing on South City TBO - Join). Say if you want to join in - just click on "join" and LFS will be launched and connected to the South City TBO server (you will need to have LFS Association setup).

Edit: Ahh, I type too slow.

Well Ok. I Understand , lets end the discussion here now :P.. I Mean .. The Thingy is solved :P

Quote from xXCRASH3RXx :

[Passengers] If you were in a race and your buddy was watching on the side, would you pick him up? I wouldn't because that doesn't happen in racing.

Answer : What i mean is that some people is just freeroaming on some maps...and then it shud be a spawn type like "Enter <Playername>'s car"



[Maps] Still, the demo is a taste. If that was put in there will be less sales cause there would be more to do for free.

Answer : Well.. Is this game created for FUN or for making money?



[Damage] It's not a fiery cool explosions super realistic damage simulator, it simulates racing, there will be better crashes in the future, but it isn't the focus of the game.

Answer : I Didnt say "BIG BADA BOOMZ".. i said that the car can be set on fire abit..


[Graphics] Since when did better graphics equal a funner game? This games still in development.

Answer : Well i think like this .. People like games that got good graphics..not games that got lesser good/bad graphics..

Hello, as i said this is a "beginner help" request.. i got a few questions that i need help with, they are below.

Flaggs :
I Played and noticed that i got a few flags, etc Yellow flag..What does all theese flags actually means?

Turbo :
I heard that people talked about Turbo..Is there turbo on vehicles..or is it just something people talk about?

Accelerating :
As i said am new..and i need a few tips for getting upp speed fast..any ideas?

Quote from xXCRASH3RXx :

I'll go in order:

[Passengers] LFS doesn't need that because its not a pick up your friends for a joyride game, its a racing simulator.
[Maps] It's fair as is.
[Stunts] For S2 and S1 you can place ramps, but the demos supposed to give a taste of the full game.
[Damage] Go play burnout, this is a simulator.
[Indicators] As said, it's here [7,8 and 9].
[Ramming] That would defy physics.
[Graphics] The games still being worked on, may be in S3 there will be an improvement.
[Friends] I kind of would like to see an in game friends list.

Thx for answering!


[Passengers] True, but if u need realism that shud be a good idea
[Maps] Well..Its 1 Map! 2 shud be good.. but 1 is getting abit boring :P
[Stunts] Aha ok , thx for letting me know
[Damage] As u said ..its a simulator..simulators shud have functions that u can be destroyed etc
[Ramming] Well..Actually thats true xD
[Graphics] Listen.. Better graphics = More buyers . So then why not make better graphics in demo to?
[Friends] Yepp

I Know..But Demo is Demo..not 1map-playing :P

Not as easy as you tell it but would be awesome

Hello. I Posted this topic cuz i got a few ideas which i just wanna share . Well..Here they are


Passengers :
Yes i know this alredy got posted..but it shud be cool if u shud be avaible to enter someones car as a passanger and just relax and watch someone else drive

Maps :
What i think there shud be more maps for demo version, it can get abit booring when u just can play on 1 map.

Stunts :
Something like a "stunt" map which will be avaible for demo..but abit upgraded for license.

Car damage :
That the cars takes damage and can be set on fire if u crash too hard.. That shud be cool what i think .

Indicators :
What i think it shud be cool with Indicators so people know if ur going to right/left... Like when u finished the demo-map race its 2ways, 1 that goes to finish and another that goes to the depot u can indicate if u shud go to the depot ( left ) or to finish ( right ).

Ramming :
Sometimes people ramm which is REALLY annoying, and then u can get punched back to the grass and if u got for example a formula it will be a big nightmare to get off the grass..so what i think u shud get lesser "Punched away" when someone ramm you.

Graphics :
If possible better graphics.

Friends :
It shud be a "Friends list" when u play multiplayer so u can join people right away ..
