a friend team has a fully fonctionnal server in RS with 6.0.1.3
version
i want the same ...

RS does not want to change if i can't provide them a download link

Quote from cargame.nl :

well.. there are 3 times the amount of Brazilians comparing to the UK population. ****ed around pretty well, tripling the population since 1960. Add to the fact that english is a top ranked international language but still ignored as a language by about 75% of the world population and the LFS main website/shop is only in English.. Then I am not surprised at all. Most people simply don't know better because they aren't provided with correct information in their own language.

What surprises me is that people are surprised in 2020 while there was a lengthy discussion about it in 2016 and even much earlier where I addressed this Youtube problem already multiple times (this is just one referral; https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1915422#post1915422 funny enough its about exactly the same crack group).

There seems to be no interest to do something about it, even a kid could do what I did with Youtube and it's not much effort at all. But eehh ye..

I guess its part of the whole LFS experience, yearly or semi yearly recurring discussions about exactly the same issues with extremely limited progress (not talking about LFS development in particular but rather the whole scene in general).

Makes Sense ... contradicting itself, virtually every foreign person i know from LFS right through to working with or alongside speaks english, reading sometimes may be a little more difficult for some but not greatly

lfs.exe has stopped working

mostly its random ... sometimes i can play 2 Minutes and sometimes 10 minutes ...

i never had this problem before

btw this is happening only on online servers when im with bots everything is fine

Quote from cuprum :

Eric Scwaen too lazy

No, the others are too lazy ... to continue expanding their products.

The other sell Dlc before the simulation works properly. I only need
one car and one Track if the physics and the force feedback are great. Hundreds of cars and hundreds of tracks only obscure that the simulation from the base is not interesting enough.

"Life" for Speed

Other simulations come and go every few years. They have great graphics and sound and are even fun ...

They are perfect .... To fill the waiting time between the LFS patches ..... Nothing more

Sorry for the thread rebump but I need to say what I feel.

I was a very active user since 2004 until 2009, running in leagues and that kind of stuff. But I had to leave sims for personal reasons.
Some weeks ago I came back, and I have a high-end PC so could try many other sims (very popular ones).
AC frustrated me because of the technical aspects: it's not polished and I ran into several bugs and user interface situations. And the performance was subpar even using my GeForce 1080 Ti.

And this didn't happen with LFS. It's so polished that I never had a technical problem with it. It loads fast, runs at 60fps even with my IGP (I use that one to avoid the fans noise).
Do I need to create a server? I can do it without leaving the game, in 3 clicks.
Do I have 5 minutes? No problem, since I click on the icon until I'm inside the car is a matter of 15 seconds.
And I bought the S3. Because I saw SO MANY CHANGES and updates that I felt it was a totally new game: new tracks and variants, finally two karting tracks, open maps with lots of streets and buildings, ... AMAZING.
And turns out that my son wanted to try so I bought him the S2 and I got a new wheel, just for LFS.

So yes, LFS doesn't have new cars. Who wouldn't love that?
No weather change, no day change, no new tyres physics ... but it's still the sim of my life. I didn't buy S3 because of the contents (I don't race for now in Rockingham) but as an appreciation to the content that I enjoy and didn't have to pay for.

I can't wait for the updates, Scavier, but I'll wait while racing
Thanks for everything.

Do you consider that my lapper directory found here V7.0.6.3 is possibly different than the Rackservice.org version ?

what a headache ...

Be sure i had search about these words everywhere to try to understand, i do not see ..or i do not understand what is triggered ...
i found something in the .exe but i do not have soft to open it correctly.

thanks Yisc, that will be great if you can take a look at these files

sure there is a clash somewhere.
thanks for your proposal about Welcome screen, i have this one :

sure it's will be great if links Discord or site will be clickable but this is really not my priority.

the priority is to have a Lapper which not start a race unpreviously

i pm you to transfer my lapper files

Do a text search of the entire lapper directory/subdirectories for a short part of the message you're getting, like "friendly"... that should get you to the right place in the code.

Quote from cargame.nl :

It doesn't work at all anymore for the last 8 years or so.

Write/program a new version yourself if you really want such an InSim. Learn, it's fun!

I try to use it in version Z28
Can I send you a private message? I need to ask you a few questions ...

i must switch off Lapper during the day before an event because, it start automatically the race each time a driver has a friendly message on qualify/training.

please, do you know what lines or command i must change or shutdown ? (in commentary or desactive quote for example)

Thanks a lot, i was on this probleme since yesterday as a simple user

edit : the problem is more well-identified : in fact, the qualify is stopped after few minutes and race start without reason ...

Help please!

Connecting at port ...
Could not connect.
The value cannot be null.
Parameter name: hostNameOrAddress
Press any key to exit...

ok, i will try to find it, my lapper is on Rackservice servers


edit : Rackservice install 7.0.6.3 versions ... (the install has be done this monday)

Thanks for your answers

so the last release for Lapper is "public test 10 B" ? is it ok to transmit to rackservice ?

Scawen, modifications are an "addition" to the game. They are installed for their own use to be able to see something other than the serial model in the game. Nowadays there is such a trend that mods (e.g. vehicles) are better used for 'fun' than what the game creator gives. Sorry .. this is not 2005 or another .. These are times where people need new products, something that will allow them to change their existing playing for something more ..

To yesterday's topic regarding the modified VOB .. The development team should clearly write that it allows to insert VOB mods, but with modifications of the original models ... (diffusers, additions, other steering wheels, other lamps etc., custom gauges for Lazy Dashboard etc.)

Nobody wrote THAT VEHICLES WITH A REAL BRAND CANNOT BE ENTERED (I mean Honda, Nissan, BMW, Porsche etc.)

After all these years of development, this step should perhaps not be rushed. An intermediate step might be better.
You could probably keep the collision model and still mod ...

Something like an XRGT convertible for example. Or slight modifications and embellishments within your own LFS car fleet. I'm afraid if you don't set up rules, trucks will soon be driving through South City. And before there is no official mod support, I think the cosmetic mods are the only ones that can be used.

And who knows ... Maybe this will even open a way for the community to help the Devs. With a "re-design" of the LFS vehicles.

I'm talking about an offline use only. But anyway what if we can change the collision box - so the mods can fit the exactly ... but that can happen only with official mod support.

> Just don't cut out things - how hard can it be???

Are you serious? ... if yes, then you have no idea how these things works. Initially it would be like extra 30-80% of work, until it would become completely impossible to keep the versions compatible, then you would be left almost alone in the multiplayer.

Just keep running the older versions (the old game) offline, if you can't upgrade your HW.

The patched LFS is not old, but new game.

About how would buying help. Let's be real, there's no chance to keep DX9 working, not if only one customers wish for it, but generally buying the license makes difference. People without license are basically just noise.

I'm surprised you did got even some replies from users, we are probably really bored.

Quote from BestRex :

Upgrading computer to keep playing very old videogame that I've been playing for ~15 years now? That sounds ridiculous! Old games should work with old hardware - that's the thing.

Wait ... you tag LFS "a very old game" because you have been playing it for a long time and that's it? The fact that it has been around for a very long time (fortunately), doesn't mean it did not evolve with each update - that's the point (be it a hotfix-like small update or a huge graphical update)!

Quote from BestRex :

And, by the way, do I asking to add something new and/or complex to the game? NO. I'm just asking developers to not cut out what this game already has for ~15 years already - which is Direct3D 9 support. Just don't cut out things - how hard can it be???

I'm no programmer myself but have been interested in and following the process, so in my honest opinion, yes, you do ask a quite complex and time-consuming work - there would be two versions and both of them would need to be maintained and tested thoroughly with each update.

eu sou O PK-O-CRIME mas essa e minha outra conta espero que resolvão ... o mais rapido possivel .

entao mano quando vou desbloquer meu jogo ele fala que ja usei todos desbloqueios da semana , mas na verdade nao usei nenhum posi estou entrando dnv no game quase um mes depois ... espero que resolvam pq nao consigo jogar online e nem jogar com carro que gosto ofline ... minha conta e o PK-O-CRIME. Obrigado pela atenção.

OT : seeing the current price of crude oil ... I will not guess on less polluting way to get the economy back on when (if) the pandemy will be a bit over !

I seem to have lots of Visual C++ libraries covering a great deal of years ...



Thing is, Win10 hasn't deleted any because they're older, but has just left them in place. And I don't know any better than Windows, so I've just left them.

Maybe you need to update ... https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

Quote from kristofferandersen :

Just think of where you could grab such value. The IS_NCN packet should do the trick, grab the PName value and save it somewhere easily accessible.

eg: Have a dictionary of connections, and a dictionary of players. Save the value to the connections dictionary, that way you can have a list of vars you can use at any time by calling connections.variable.

For the players, you can add a player when they leave the pits and remove one when they spectate or leave. If you count the players dictionary, you can see how many players are on the track.

That should cover most of it, good luck.

Thanks, I have another problem ... I would like that when a user enters node 56 of the Blacwood BL2 track he is sent to the pits, I do not understand what is wrong with my code.

Hi, the setting is in
Options > Misc > Car skin download > 1024.

You get an information screen when you select 1024 (warning that there will be a charge on the LFS credit). The minimum allowed credit to add is GPB 3.

However, unless you play multiplayer quite a lot, 2000 skins will take quite a lot of time (in terms of days, weeks, months of racing).

Therefore it is possible that you enabled the feature via your settings quite some time ago...

Your Account page might show some info, although it might not be that descriptive if you've had a lot of account activity (purchases etc.)...

Edit: I do wonder; since your account balance is GBP 2 now, is it possible that you added 3 pounds a while back to use this feature and have since forgotten about it?

Hi

Is it possible to disable pit penalties all together?
Yes, allowing speeding in pit?
(i have a small private server with friends, that's why ...)
