Hello there, so i've been a player for quite some time, i'm not any good or pro driver, i am a noob, but compared to the first years where there was tons of players online and now with barely half a track filled, it's all about drifts servers.
There is a serious lack of content in the game when it comes to cars and improvements..
In my opinion the game should try to catch the hype going on now on racing games, this is 2018 not 2008

And please no "another one complaining" "the community revives the game" etc etc etc

Yes i will complain when the game is not even improving on the good rate and the community won't play if there is lack of updates and new content...

Quote from Shirtkicker :

Did you look in the Car Skins section of the forum?

Yes but im looking for the mods to change the whole texture not just skins

Hello there everyone, hope i'm posting in the right side of the forum to ask for this.
I'm actually looking for various Car textures to use on various cars of the game, i don't really care wich ones just any(i got bored from the actual ones and would like to try iconic ones like BMW GTR M3, Nissan XANAVI, ESSO Supra GT etc)
I couldn't find any list around here, so if anyone has some links can you please share ?
Thank you
P.S: No DRIFT CARS please!

LFS is one of the best sims, but time is running and game sim opponents are overtaking LFS, let's be honest, the game is good, it lacks content and player base, Steam would help but also Steam community players that are used to Higher quality sim games would not give money into a limited game like LFS, so finish the product (the base) then think about putting it into STEAM

Also for people who says that LFS doesn't need Steam to get popular, you're wrong, LFS is most likely unknown nowdays in the internet; and everyone is only asking about games on Steam, who today would think of downloading a game from a website? Maybe before 2010..days changed and this needs renovation

the only issue with your server ( that i already play at many times) is its hosted in Australia i think, and my ping is really high there

Tried this one: https://www.lfs.net/files/setups ?

wow, thanks man, didn't know this existed

Hello there everyone, as today i found that setupgrid is suspended due to unknown reasons, id like to ask for some FO8 setups if anyone has some

Hey there everyone, i was wondering if its possible to get such a view in Formula Cars

Quote from lfsrm :

No they're not stealing, not in their current situation, stealing is about those who can own the game but choose to go through the wrong path because they don't give a damn about the devs jobs, but in Turkey and other similar places like I said there is no potential consumers for lfs that can buy the game anyway, and when we are dealing with no potential clients, cracking the game or not wouldn't do any harm to the devs incomes.

So let them be it's just a waste of time for scawen, he's already dealing with VR instead of physics and graphics so don't bother him with such infinite loop of fighting piracy.

As a Moroccan (same or less economic state as your country ), i dont think there should be any kind of crack for LFS, even on poor or third world countries, this isnt a high-budgeted game so LFS mostly is living by their own product, cracking it by a big amount of turkish people(that represents a big community in LFS now) will do harm to the state of the game, and it already did.. also people who cant buy the game should stick to the demo

Its like i cant afford a Ferrari so its no harm to steal one, while you could stick to your own car

Quote from Eclipsed :

Still - these illegal servers have a banner on them:
"Hey,you don't need to buy LFS,come here and have it for free!"
This is where devs' money and legal server population is lost - on users,who would buy,but not spending money because of free alternative.

this

Same happened to me, but i think you should put "yes" to empty and public servers, lots of servers would appear, yes its empty mostly, but i think after joining 1 others might join and start races, its just my opinion, even tought the community is half dead to be honest

Quote from spyshagg :

But the biggest problem LFS faces is not its delivery method nor is it an obscure problem unique to LFS. Every community outgrows games whose content remains stagnant, even AAA budgeted games with all their graphical novelty and prowess will suffer a quick death if stagnant.
cheers

Not all AAA budgeted games suffers that, many games took the lead now, let's be honest here, people wants to have a big variety of content nowdays, most people would buy another game because well it has lots of tracks and cars plus a Online Multiplayer that is easy to access

I know LFS has one of the best Online services when it comes to multiplayer, but still lacks simple interactive things

Maybe you'd like to post here, it's where there is this kind of sound mods
https://www.lfs.net/forum/39-Miscellaneous-Addons

I'm not sure it would be a good idea, Career needs a lot of work in my opinion, i would suggest to actually finish the actual development of the Racing Simulation (from A to Z), then think about adding a career mod, just saying that the actual gameplay is far more important than a career mod know

Age:20
Country:Morocco
Preferred Car/Track:FBM/BF1
Average Laptime on Your Preferred Car/Track:FBM- 1:15:xx (Blackwood)
How Active Are You? Randomly (Using GMT Time)
What Kind of Control do you use? Mouse/Keyboard
Time Zone:GMT+00
Type: RACE/DRIFT (never tried other mods, not interested much)

Seems like more players from my country is joining haha cheers

Hey there, never posted here, i'm 20, from Morocco ( i guess im the only one from here haha), just got hold of the S2 after years, using Mouse/Keyboard, Live For Speed is seriously the best simulator out there when it comes to racing physics

Cheers

The variety of LFS content is developing very slowly, like adding 1-2 tracks on 4 years and the cars are so limited, i know its hard etc, but still the game needs more content, plus the game didn't get any kind of advertisement, i think on the racing community all around the internet rare are the ones who knows about LFS

this is what i kind of get most of the time

In fact all of your answers are true, its just that the racing community is kind of dead or all into the FBM, because there is much more Demo newbies to compete against
I tried hosting a server from my pc but its impossible with the current internet of my country
ALSO, i think there should be some kind of public chat in the server lobby to invite/add/party with people to play together

Smells like F1 tracks <3

I guess as we are from the same country, i have the same issue

Hey, just logged on to check some racing servers, all i find is cruise and drift, where the hell are the actual racing servers?

Demo for years now, i suggest this doesnt actually happen or you'll kill the game just like many famous old racing games that used this technique, not everyone can afford the game nor pay trought the internet so i suggest they add more stuff into the Demo version

Quote from sinanju :

-XRG / XRT lights pop up
The cars are over 10 years old - the mechanism's are worn, rusted and jammed - never going to work now. If it wasn't for the fact the cars are no longer used on public roads, they'd never get an MOT (official permit to use on highway) now

-Add more racing Rims
You can colour them to your hearts content

-Add a night mod to the game
Turn the brightness down on your monitor

-Add a hill track (for Drift and Touge fans)
Turn your monitor till its at least slanted, or on it's side

-Add a special mod for Tougue
Balance your monitor and/or racing rig on a large ball, and wear your cap backwards

-Add a Drift Point Calculator
I've done this in LFSLapper - available as add-on in standard download, although does need to be enabled

-Add More Cars
Buy SI or S2(cheaper alternative is to give each of your AI cars their own skins and have lots more for yourself so you can change them a lot)

-Add a Blur (high speed effect) on the cars such as the FBM F1 so it looks more realistic
Have a look in Unofficial Addons and Miscellaneous Addons sections (where you can also find bloom effects), and use Search facility

-Add a mod where you can customize the performance of your car (for Drift fans)
Already available in Garage, where you can change gearing, suspension, tyres, etc., to your hearts content
You can also add passengers (including females!) so you can impress them with your drifting skills - personally, I use a woman passenger on front to help with directions, although I do get annoyed with the constant "never mind Alonso, everyone is faster than you" bitching

-Add more Music tracks
Convert any of your own music tracks to OGG format, and add into your data/ogg directory - have as many tracks as you want, so knock yourself out

Thanks for your answer, didnt know about the addons
