Quote from frotto110 :

SPR - Single player record

MPR - Multiplayer record

I believe these are called "replay" and not "record".

Quote from frotto110 :

W - Whell

Grammar mistake (wheel).

Quote from frotto110 :

FF - Force Feedback

SS - Send Setup

S/F - Start/Finish (line)

BC - Button Clutch

WR - World Record

PB - Personal Best

TB - Theoretical Best

Thank you
in command file/ff [0-200] - force feedback strength
and somewhere in game there is FF for force feedback, i will add both.

Nice thread!

That is a good idea!

But I think this belongs to the LFS Manual instead, so I've created a page for it there. You can edit that page instead.

http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Abbreviations

If you agree, I will remove the abbreviations list from the frist post and insert the LFS Manual link there.

I do not agree with FF - Force Feedback

Usually...

FF - Front engined, Front wheel drive
FR - Front engined, Rear wheel drive
MR - Mid engined, Rear wheel drive
RR - Rear engined, Rear wheel drive

Log in with your LFS account details there and then simply click Edit at the top of the page of Abbreviations.

I think it is something like Vehicle Object (something), I've not included it there yet, it is commented out.

Why did I write that? Of course, I failed hard, I don't know how. It's probably because of that much studying Anyway that's fixed.

Yeah, must be that hahaha

VWS and ROC are missing (pun intended)
I think UDP should also be on the list.

Should we also add Demo, S1 and S2?

Where did you find that the abbreviation of Rockingham is ROC? From what I've noticed, they use either RO or ROK. But as long as tracks use only 2 characters, I'd guess it's RO.

Don't mention the German Car or the British Track by name !!!1eleven

At first I think it was called ROC, maybe it changed after a few days.
Anyway, that's why a wiki is so cool, everybody can help to fix these things

I'm not sure that you understood the principles of LFS Manual. After logging in, you can edit the articles yourself. So I don't have to do it for you I will include those new ones now, but next time you could try it instead.

(I hope that demo users can also edit the articles :X)
