If graphics are more important to you then gameplay I feel sad for you

Gameplay will always be more important but the game also need to move with the times or you don't generate new customers. I no longer race LFS because all my friends are on AC. But I still visit the forum on a regular basis and my game is current although not S3 as mentioned Rockingham just doesn't do it for me.

Quote from Ibtasim6781 :

I'd either prefer more content over graphical improvement,
Why?
Mostly because you would lose a good amount of players that don't have powerful PCs to for example, run AC or Project Cars or any other actual simulators, and thats why LFS also stands out, it literally works on every computer. LFS already had a graphical improvement several years ago and its more than enough.
IMO, More Content>Graphics

Would the masses still be running those type of computers, S2 was released in 2005 surely most of that type of hardware would have died by now and people would have upgraded.
Legal documents need to be kept around 5 to 7 years maybe LFS could employ the same upgrade time frame.
I do agree more content would be nice but you still need to move forward with the aesthetics.

Rockingham is not a track to get me excited, if it was Donnington maybe.
AC is filling the hole at the moment. If LFS had a huge graphical change them I would be back and I would drag 5 or 6 others with me. The online side to this game is still far superior than other games out there.

I have no problem spinning the cars, I wish I could learn how not to..

I brought it play it and got a refund (not quite there). Would mine count? If it does they will go backwards very fast.

I have tried the DK2 at a friends place and although it was very impressive the quality of image wasn't that good. In saying that it had that fly screen effect it was like looking at am old crt monitor up close.
Will the commercial product be better? We are so used to high res stuff now it looks like a backward step in that aspect. Because of this I have high hopes for the Vive but will it be any better. I'm on the VR band wagon and I wouldn't hesitate in getting a unit but I need to have the visual quality there.

I'm seeing the DMR server, but its showing the Miata @ bridgehampton.


Edit: Ehhh I'm getting some error with the Silvia...

Check the ui_car.json file against a working one it's most likely a typo. Missing a comma or full stop or maybe a bit of text.

Online is a bit of a pain in the a##.
You'll get wreckers which ever game you play in the public servers.
I haven't touch RF2. But I do enjoy AC and I setup a private server for just friends.
LFS is still the best for online play. If AC can sort their sh#t out and make things more user friendly it will go a long for the longevity of the game.

Just a question on the entry lists.


Can you have all the cars in the game listed with all the skins so when running a no booking server all the cars are covered.

Quote from Mustafur :

Currentely finished day 1 of the event, would of averaged first in the gaming stage if I didn't bin the last round.

Fitness I was lacking a bit and would be around middle.

Real driving and media tommorow is where I should make up ground and make the top 6 for silverstone.

Best of luck Mustafur, I hope all goes to plan and you get the plane tickets.

Quote from lamerr :

Just got this game the other day, I am wondering how do I setup an online server? I just want to drive some laps around the Ring with a friend in practice mode. I tried searching for a guide, but it seems really complicated? Help needed thanks!

It can be confusing copy the stuff below and put it in you server config file.


[SERVER]
NAME=*********
CARS=bmw_z4_gt3;bmw_m3_e30_gra;lotus_evora_gtc;ferrari_312t
TRACK=brno;prato_long;gentrack1;nurburgring;aosta_grand_sport_v2.0 ; tracks allowed on the server - always use lower case characters
SUN_ANGLE=-8
MAX_CLIENTS=3
RACE_OVER_TIME=10
PORT=9600
HTTP_PORT=8075
REGISTER_TO_LOBBY=1
LOOP_MODE=1
PASSWORD=********
ALLOWED_TYRES_OUT=-1
VOTING_QUORUM=75 ;; percentage of vote that is required for the vote to pass
VOTE_DURATION=20 ;; time in seconds players must respond to voting
BLACKLIST_MODE=0 ;; ban player -> 0 = for session duration, 1 = until server restart, 2 = for ever
[BOOK]
NAME=Booking
TIME=1
[QUALIFY]
NAME=Qualify
TIME=3
WAIT_TIME=15
[RACE]
NAME=Race
LAPS=5
WAIT_TIME=15




Change the asterisk to a server name and the other as a password.
Make sure you open the ports on your router.
God luck

I have set the server as follows:

TRACK=doningtonnat;aosta_grand_sport_v2.0;prato_short;mugello

Aosta and Prato are NK Conversions with permission from the Devs.

You can get the tracks here:

What happens when you list multiple tracks in the server config file.
I've done what you have as above but I still only see one track listed and after racing that track I go back to the lobby with no other option than before. So basically I have to close the server and select another track and restart the server.
Am I missing something.

LE:
Do you usually join servers with more clients than track's pitboxes ? Because if you do, that is where the problem is currently (<< info from Kunos).

It can be playing the game not online. I like the race events built into the game and it can happen just practicing. Online I'm on my own server with one other at the moment with 3 clients.


I don't get the message most times but 2 or 3 minutes into playing the first thing I notice is the CPU fan working it's butt off. Which is a after market Noctua.


I have 3 auto settings on the ASUS motherboard for overclocking and it's on the middle setting. Which from memory gives everything a slight boost from standard. I did this because I thought the game would need a little bit more.


I was getting this issue on the base settings as well. Next time I play I'll check the CPU usage before and during the game to see the difference.

Quote from Fordman :

I have herd this alot on the AC forums, but I haven't or seen that message as yet...thank god. Does it happen on every track or when you drive Snoopys Ring circuit....this track seems to hammer the hardware, maybe that's why I haven't seen that message

Fordie

It's on any track any combo, basically just playing the game

While we are discussing specs, I have an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHz.


8192MB RAM


NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570


When playing the game the CPU gets a hammering and I get a popup saying my CPU is at 97% and a windows settings popup that wants to down grade my desktop display settings.


I just run the basic display settings as is.

Well I finally got into my own server by use the Microsoft loopback adapter.


That's the good news, while I'm in there it seems to have glitches. I was behind my mate when he all of a sudden took off like an aeroplane and went into the sky and back down again.


When I was in front he said I was driving through wall and disappearing and then coming back again.


Sounds like classic ping problems but he said I had a ping of 1, I assume because it's my server and he had a ping of 26.


We were using Skype to talk could this affect the game and would team speak or something simular better.

Qualified for Australian National Final via Live event, got 5th best time top 14 qualify.

Well done Mustafur. My talent is only good enough to get gold.


Aussie are doing well in the world rankings which is good to see.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

I used to have that same issue with LFS. I had to join with localhost instead of externally. AC I don't think has that ability yet.

I might have to sit on this one until they do a major update to the server.


It's just about done my head in, I've tried that many different settings through my router and firewall.


I even stuffed my network up and had to rebuild everything because I clicked on something in a hope it would work and then I couldn't log back into my router. lol

Quote from Hotdogxx60 :

Still doesn't help me, I still can't join my own server.
I keep getting requesting car list timed out.

With this problem can anyone decipher what the problem is with this message that comes up in the server DOS box while I'm trying to enter the track.


No car with address 192.168.0.125:64157 packet ID63.

setting FFB strength to 107% instead of 101% in the profiler did surprisingly much regarding driving feel. Why's that?

btw, blisters here I come

Looks like you could use a pedicure.

Quote from fatalunfair :

Sometimes randomly I get this 6 times in a row and then it suddenly lets me in server. 30% of the time it actually loads it instantly and lets me join quickly. 70% of the time it just repeats car list timed out and never actually says it loads the cars yet they all are working in the race tho

My friend my can get in ok, very strange.

Http 8075
UDP 9600


Port forwarding tool said the ports are open.


I see the server it has a ping.


I'm a bit of a noob with this sort of thing.


Can you give me some detail on what you mean with HTTP.


Thanks

Still doesn't help me, I still can't join my own server.
I keep getting requesting car list timed out.

For the life of me I can't get a dedicated server running.
First I had the requesting car list timed out problem and now I cannot connect to server.


I can always see it on the list of servers but just can't get in either the first problem and now the next.


AC can't list my ping so I think it got to be something with port forwarding.


I have a DLink DIR-868L.
