Extra services
Live for Speed offers additional services to accomodate for more specific wishes. The following services are available :
| High resolution skin downloads | |
|
Live for Speed automatically downloads the skins of other people's cars when you are online, provided the skins have been uploaded to LFS World.
These are in low resolution by default. If your computer, graphics card and internet connection are good enough, you can auto-download high resolution skins instead.
To use this setting, you need some LFS World credit (that is, a positive balance on your Live for Speed account).
We need to charge for this service, because of the increased bandwidth and the need to provide and maintain a special skin web server. You can put some money into your LFS account by making a payment here at the main site or at LFS World. You can also use a voucher if you prefer. Then when you have a positive account balance, you can turn on high resolution skin downloads inside Live for Speed. It will download high resolution skins until your LFS World credit is eventually used up. The price for this service is 2000 skin downloads for £1 (1 UK pound). When you download your first hi-res skin, you will be assigned 2000 skins and £1 will be deducted from your LFS account balance. This assignment happens every time your 2000 skin downloads are used and for as long as you have at least an account balance of £1 or more. |
| SMS Messaging | |
|
You can use SMS Messaging in several ways. 1) normal message sending, via LFS World and from in-game 2) receive LFS World alerts about certain online LFS activities Every message you send and every alert you receive costs £0.10 . |
| LFS World Premium Pubstat | |
|
Live for Speed World (LFS World) is our statistics website where a lot of (online) data about every licensed racer is recorded and displayed.
Many people want to display this data on their own websites, in their own format. To do this, we have created the Pubstat interface. This interface can be used free of charge, but to prevent excessive usage, you can only do 1 request per 5 seconds. To gain unrestricted access, you can switch to the Premium Pubstat service, for which a tiny amount will be charged, based on the amount of requests you make. £0.00001 per request + £0.0015 per Megabyte |
