Wrong timestamps in LFS Host Replays
Was trying out your mod (V6) on one of my layouts, trying to find the top speed on my longest straight, changed view to see rev counter and speedometer ...
Should the rev counter look like a speedometer?
Also, the default gearing shows a top speed of 105 mph, but I couldn't get much over 68 mph even on LA1 without a layout. Changing the gearing just made the car slower.
It's almost as though the Final Drive tab is showing theoretical speed in mph (which I use), but is really showing the speed in kph (105 kph is approx 65 mph).

Just a headnote, if you are using LFS on Linux with Wine, you'll need to install the vcrun2019 package.

I have no issues of what I am seeing. It's simply not my cup of tea, although I could enjoy one.
It's... when you go to grocery store and you see all kinds of products and you are like "oh, what's this new thing? Okay, I might give a go next time"... and the next time never occurs.
Right, because I did care to reply, I will now dl these all and give my thoughts of it completely.
EDIT: "all"... I somehow saw wrong and there was more than 1, but they were just links... alright, one*

OK, some slight changes after feedback and testing.
I have been able to do more than expected without an incompatible version.
About a suggested option to allow AI / real / any players:
That is a good suggestion but is actually a different topic that doesn't require shared logic. I have to keep this simple to make it reliable. So let's leave that out for now.
About keeping object mods in the first grid slots and not moving them in an automatic reorder, vs a suggested idea to be able to individually lock any players (e.g. safety cars etc):
As noted, there are no gaps in the grid, so it's not really possible at the moment to lock arbitrary racers in position. I think the easiest option (for a quick and safe implementation) is to allow the admin to specify a number of static grid positions. Those static positions could include object mods and safety cars, if they are all at the start of the grid.
e.g. /static 3 ... keep the first 3 slots in place when auto-arranging grid on race restart.
About preventing people adding / removing / moving players around the grid:
I propose 3 options for a /grid command: open / self / lock

So, I implemented something like this for SimFIA around 15 years ago now. It only used the Split packets because it was the only thing that was reliable. We would have the Timing and Scoring interface that would show deltas to car in front, car behind for our league races, but it would only show for 5 seconds when the player passed a sector. The FiA and FOM get their timing information on the F1 cars from the timing lines as well, but not just each sector time, but also the mini-sectors between the marshal posts (around 200 meters apart on average) each have a timing loop on them. The FOM TV feed actually updates the deltas between the cars on each timing loop by calculating the delta between Car 1 and Car 2's time between the same timing loop. That effectively works out to an array of timestamps. It's also why you don't see a sector time display, until all cars have passed the first sector timing line.
The array would be something like ...
If you are going for iRacing type delta for players to compare against themselves, a much higher resolution timing loop is required. I'd want a timestamp for every time they enter each track node. Yeah, that's going to be like 350+ data points for each lap, and sometimes much more. I'd additionally, want their X, Y, Z world cords, as well as their heading vector, and speed (in the LFS meters per second, so the u32 where the upper u16 is the actual meters, and the lower u16 is the 65536th of a meter.)
That should get us pretty close. The
gives you the delta of time into the lap. If you're faster into that node the time delta will be negative.
if positive, you are faster than into that node speed wise than before, negative you are slower speed wise into that node.
The array would be something like ...
struct Cars {
UCID u8;
PLID u8;
Info u8; // Is Player; Is IA;
Sp0 u8; // Padding. Always 0;
Lap u16; // Current Lap; Used to index into Laps array.
Node u16; // Current Node; Used to index into Best and Laps array.
Last u32; // Current Timestamp; Used to show last update from car.
// Array of Nodes
Best[Node] = CarInfo;
Laps[Lap][Node] = CarInfo;
}
struct CarInfo {
Lap = u16; // 24 Hour Races could have more than 255 laps.
Node = u16; // Node ID
Time = u32; // Timestamp (Milliseconds, So / 1000 for seconds.)
// Location in map in LFS Meter Units.
LocX = u32;
LocY = u32;
LocZ = u32;
// Vector of their velocity in LFS Meters Units.
// 9.80665 m/s² = 952_863 = 1G; Z should equal this when sitting still on level ground.
// -49.03325 m/s² = -4_764_315 = -5G; X Formula Car Hard Breaking.
VelX = i32;
VelY = i32;
VelZ = i32;
// Heading Degrees from Center +90.00 = 9000; -180.00 = -18000
HeadX = i16; // -Left / +Right
HeadY = i16; // +Up / -Down
// Rotating Degrees from Center +90.00 = 9000; -180.00 = -18000
RotX = i16; // Roll: between -180 and 180 deg;
RotY = i16; // Pitch: between -90 and 90 deg;
RotZ = i16; // Yaw: between -180 and 180 deg;

Reason : Added more detail.
Just made me thinking...
...how much work/cost would be allowing also rental model for people who struggle with basic math and concept of saving money (although I can imagine life situations where even 1k TL could be difficult to save over year, but maybe such person should focus on other things in life than PC and games)?
(this is not serious suggestion, sorry Scawen, just dumping overloaded brain. I like the lifetime license - shows moral integrity of developers which is welcome change in today's world for me ... well, one really far fetched option would be monthly rental until some total sum (like ~150% of S3 price) is paid over time and then changing rental license to final license, thus being "money lender" business on LFS dev team and making everything more complicated, although maybe lowering entry barrier for people like OP)

Do you get a connection window open, like this ...
(I've greyed out my IP and Port)
Assuming this shows, if lapper doesn't connect, you should get an error message.
Also, In your lapper directory, look in /bin/default/logs and you will see 2 files - one ends -ERR and other -MSS.
The -ERR file shows if there are any errors, and what these errors are.
The -MSS file will give some connection information.
The information in these files may be helpful.

OK, following looks a lot, but should be straightforward ...
Download lapper, and save to your '/LFS' folder.
Download from https://www.lfs.net/forum/434-Releases.
I'm still running V7093, but no reason why script won't work with the newer versions.
You can rename this downloaded folder or leave name as is.
Because I use lapper with lots of different layouts, I make a new folder with the name of my new layout, as lapper saves times and drift scores in databases using the track abbreviation. And as I use LA1 a lot, the 2nd layout would overwrite the times/scores of the 1st layout.
In this downloaded folder, in the /bin directory, open 'LFSServers.cfg' file
Change the IP and port numbers on the last line to match your rented LFS IP / port numbers
(e.g. DEF1|gr1|123.456.78.901|59901|./default|default_1.ini|autowork)
In the /bin/default directory, open 'default_1' file.
Change the password to match your multiplayer host password (e.g. $password = "mypass": )
In the same directory, open both the 'admin.txt' and 'superusers.txt' files, and add your LFS username.
Download the 'drag2.txt' file in my post
(https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/112222-Simple-Drag-Light-System),
and rename to 'drag2.lpr'.
Move this file into the /bin/default/includes folder.
In that folder, open the 'addonused' file, and add the line
include("./drag2.lpr");
All the above files can be opened with your default note app, e.g. Notepad.
To run lapper, click on the 'LFSLapper.exe' file.
If all that works, then when in your server, type "!drag".
If you want to change any of the light colours, you can. For instance "^0•" will show a black light, but if you want it white, you would change the 0 to 7, or 8 if you wanted grey, etc.
Good luck.

If you're willing to use LFSLapper("lapper"), I've just made an add-on script that show a start light sequence ...
Made a short YouTube video - https://youtu.be/pFmTPuCUVVY

I got it working.
If you want to do Drivers Briefing file here is how I did it.
First i made the file Briefing.lpr in the folder location:
C:\LFS\LFSLapper\bin\servers\includes\
Then i added line:
include( "./Briefing.lpr");
Line was added to file:
C:\LFS\LFSLapper\bin\servers\includes\addonsused.lpr
Then I made sure that my Server_OPEN.lpr in the folder location:
C:\LFS\LFSLapper\bin\servers\
had line
include( "./includes/addonsused.lpr");
After that
I wrote code and tested it.
I found out that, if you want to have multiple commands for different text flods, you have to write them in same file as I have done here.
Next I am going to explore the "SWITCH( $command )" if it would make possible to make individual "files with execute commands".
Here is my code

Personal opinion
LFS is Scawens software baby.
Idea and implementation that represents his life philosophy.
It begun in the strange waters of "will it work", next the satisfaction or applause oriented coding and finally the difficulty to keep up.
I am thankful for his commitment to proceed the development and personally consider LFS as a form of art.
As a result, this one (three) man show, excellence comes with some culprits
You Build It, You Run It, syndrome and this nice video by Modern Software Engineering:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_W3v-KMPz0&ab_channel=ModernSoftwareEngineering
And ... they have to earn their living some how.
Scaling up LFS, is almost equivalent to a complete "acquisition" by big players, where big money and manpower will try to replace art.
Open sourcing it, will make harder the, "I can live with it" potential.
So, lets enjoy the ride, and mr. Scawen play tennis, it prolongs life !
The most obvious issue is that if you are adding a lapper script, you need to 'Catch' any and all events.
So "Event onMSO.." should be "CatchEvent OnMSO...", and the end should be changed from "EndEvent" to "EndCatchEvent".
Not sure why there's a 'rivi1' sub, when the !brief command sends you to 'rivi2'.
As for the sub info (or lack thereof) within the brackets after the sub name, this is something I always struggle with, and even asked about ...
SUB event Q - https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1693093#post1693093
SUB event A - https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1693302#post1693302
The answer helped me a little, but not always, so I go through the following ...
# Possible subs to use:
# Sub sub1()
# Sub sub1($userName)
# Sub sub1($KeyFlags,$userName)
# Sub sub1($KeyFlags,$argv)
# Sub sub1($KeyFlags,$id)
If you're using a command to start things off, why do you need a distance to do first?
Another issue might be the directory and folder you're placing your briefing.lpr file. It should be in the standard \bin\default\includes directory, and should be added into the existing addonsused.lpr file.
Good luck.

The answer helped me a little, but not always, so I go through the following ...
# Possible subs to use:
# Sub sub1()
# Sub sub1($userName)
# Sub sub1($KeyFlags,$userName)
# Sub sub1($KeyFlags,$argv)
# Sub sub1($KeyFlags,$id)
If you're using a command to start things off, why do you need a distance to do first?
Another issue might be the directory and folder you're placing your briefing.lpr file. It should be in the standard \bin\default\includes directory, and should be added into the existing addonsused.lpr file.
Good luck.
Velocity Motorsports Events
RULES
Each round consists a total of up to 12 stage combos (ex: 6 stages x 2 car pools = 12 combinations)
From that total, only your best 5 results will count towards round points. Points are added per stage:
1st - 10pts
2nd - 9
...
10th - 1
ex: If your best results are 1st-2nd-2nd-5th-5th, your leaderboard points from this round will be 40pts
At the end of each round, your position on the leaderboard will determine how many championship points you earn:
1st 23pts
2nd 20
3rd 17
4rd 14
5th 12
6th 10
7th 8
8th 6
9th 4
10th 2
11th+ 1

Wait for the results
I want to make a multi setup mod , like one setup its A6 , S line , Street Tuned , All-Road , Undercover and Police ...
About front fogs , I will put it , but it's not a priority for now 🥹😉
F14 is on the auto updater now.
So with all the updates there is quite a process now, that takes you right through what is necessary.
For example, if you have not yet set an unlock code, and you start up LFS in version F (or earlier)...
-----
1) Message on entry screen "A new update is available". This flashes for a few seconds. There is a button to visit the forum and another to directly download in game.
2a) Visit forum, you will see the test patch thread.
OR
2b) Click direct download, you go straight to the download screen.
OR
2c) Ignore that and click "List of Hosts", you see the download screen.
3) Install patch manually or using the auto updater.
4) Start LFS. The "Unlock LFS" or "S3 licensed" button is flashing.
5) Click the button. There is a message that you need to update your unlock code and an "external link" icon button.
6) Click the external link, you go to your details page and the option "Set a new unlock code" is in RED text so you can't miss it.
-----
The worst issue remaining is for totally new players, they will install LFS and it already says "A new update is available" on the entry screen, but they cannot use the auto updater.
So that means it is a high priority to release the full version.

Thanks a lot! :-D With this I am lost, I don't understand this part:
'... and is set automatically and sent to you in an email when you click a link on your details page.'
ojee .. my email acwestly@gmail was hacked ... block from google .. and now ? .. no chance of change [email protected] to [email protected]
why cant I play ? [unlock code]
Nobody told me I had to get a new unlock code ... why didn't you alert us before messing with the passwords?!!!

Good to hear you got it working.
That is interesting. Possible copy and paste issue with LFS when using remote desktop (and maybe other times too).
If any Windows programmers want to check my code, please go ahead:
There's more LFS-specific stuff in those [ ... ] but just in case someone spots anything wrong with this clipboard code.

CloseClipboard();

thank you i didnt know that thanks
thank you i didnt know that thanks
I understand the distortion is kind of strange, because it is linear. Although 'correct' in one sense it is sort of wrong in another, related to our perception.
Ideally there could be a distortion shader to make this affect more agreeable but this is not available in LFS.
There is a quite extreme setting you can use. It uses multiple renders to create the main scene.
In Options - View ... there is a setting "Multiple screen layout" and you can set up to 5 left screens and 5 right screens. This can approximate a cylindrical render, created from 11 vertical linear renders per frame.
I'd be interested to know if you get any improvement by using that.
You would adjust the view in that case by "Main screen FOV" and "Screen Angle" which should be a fairly small number.
