I like his in game skin editing, or even a much better skin editor/viewer, going back and forth between two monitors or alt-tabbing gets super annoying, plus skinning 3d would make corner shaping sooooo much easier!

Quote from DANIEL-CRO :1. Create separate driver for passengers
2. use LFS player hack to remove his helmet
3. download XFG pikachu skin
4. use this setup
5. turn on all indicators
6. change car to FXO and track to AS6R
7. Install and run Microsoft Mathematics
8. Solve integral e^x x^x log(x) sin(x) dx {x,0,1}
7. and you are able to select drivers without helmet in pits

Note : This will only work if you have all lastest Windows updates

Totally uncalled for post, yes he's spammed for answers, but a simple no would have sufficed, don't have to be a jerk about it.


To answer the original question, it is currently not possible, player hack is simply a "hack" and changes the driver profile, which you can't do for the passengers.

Quote from pärtan :I never said it's easy to build a big open map from scratch. Also, I never said that should be done. And neither does the poster of this thread, from the way I percieve it. Of course there are people who would want it but even I agree that it's unrealistic. However a rework on South City isn't unrealistic. It would benefit racers by giving them more layouts. It would be beneficial to cruisers. It would be beneficial to everyone.

Also let's make another thing clear. An open map isn't my suggestion and I'm not just arguing because I desperately want to see this happen. The reason I'm arguing is because of the attitude which exists on this forum towards any suggestion which is presented in an incorrect way and towards the posters of these suggestions.

If you had any confidence at all in the developers of LFS, you wouldn't feel the need to defend this game at all costs displaying a bad attitude in the process.

I'll buy this guy a drink the next time he's in my area! Finally someone who agrees to disagree but doesn't have to bite into every detail or cause a full on battle, hats off to you sir!

Quote from e2mustang :Looking at ur ingame name how u dont have any real bmw-s? i dont consider minins bmw

Always wanted an E39 ///M5, and my MINI is all BMW, uses lots of 3 series parts!

I've grown up with Dubs and tend to have more fun with them. Plus everyone wants to race a BMW lol.

The Toaster was #88 of 2500, and just sold. Lady should be here any day to pick it up, only 30,000 miles never in rain or winter. Was actually one of my favorites, and I'd love to keep it but we want a 4 door Jeep so the '92 YJ and the xB had to go.

The silver car in the back is a March of 1956 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, motor is built with a Judson supercharger, and we located a Webasto sunroof. Will be restored finally after the Alken D2 (1 of 4 known to exist)

The Lago Blu(LE5B) Rabbit is my favorite one, has 8,600 OG miles, and my favorite color. It will be getting H&R Ultra Lows and some 15" or 16" Cups this summer! L model with no other options! (L included cloth seats and trim rings)

The MINI is my fast car/daily. 2002 S With 134,000miles we are to original owners. Has every option that came from the factory in '02 including the rare nav system.

That map thing looks sweet! Someone did that ages ago with buildings on carpark, it just shows how desperate the community is but dang, to spend that much time one something is awesome!

All I know it I race for fun not for milliseconds it's a game. My setups use what I feel I need. I sometimes will use normals over supers on the XRT to slide through a corner instead of hold the grip when driving. You never know the needs/wants of an event. Plus if we ever get weather, normals will probably go better than supers in the rain! (Tread etc)

Like the idea of folders for each track, really it would be nice to have the ability to select if a setup is for all tracks, or just certain ones, Like I have a different drift setups for different tracks.

Being Scion owner ( '05 xB RS2.0) at the big Scion event in June or July we got to test drive the FR-S in both Manual an Automatic. The automatic was lame as expected, but te paddle shifters actually had auto rev matching which was the coolest feature I'd ever seen. We got to drive and drift the manual and I was so dissapointed, all this hype and it was no fun. Very close gearbox led to smooth shifting. But man was it a dog, for $25,000USD I see so many other nice choices! Plus the car was falling apart after one day of test drives at only 5,000 miles! A stock 2011 Honda Civic SI was faster on the straightaway!

Somehow it hit the market and many of you guys liked it! I'd recommend a used John Cooper Works MINI (R53, the R56 are too heavy) for almos half the cost and 4x the fun.

So I have looked into it and even hard wired just the compute for LFS and disconnected all others. It's really odd! Any other online game works. Even my PS3 the farthest point from the router works. Does it make a difference that the server is hosted in another country?

I'm still recieving connection issues with LFS. Never had them before 0.6E. I'll just be playing and my entire left side of my house Internet will be overloaded and shut down(two wireless networks because the house is old enough to have walls that stop wifi). All of a sudden chat will lag, then all the cars will lag, the I crash. Always seems to happen during peak hours too!

I've long considered this idea. Today's devices even support Bluetooth and can use Playstation 3 controllers! Would love to play LFS on the go! Many of these devices have the power to do such things!

The PSP is obsolete, but my PS Vita screen is amazingly clear and I guarantee that processor could run LFS with flying colors! Would be super fun!

Great idea, but is ages off!

This would be just as useful as the ping and control type being displayed, to each his own! I'd rather see if someone has a penalty next to their name to see if I should be concerned with driving style lol.

Would be nice if this was added, to add a little more user interace customibility like adding r removing different features in the connection list. Sometimes you only need names while playing, other times you need ping to determine lag, etc.

I second the above idea, would also work for implementing a PM system!

This message is not meant to condone street racing in any way shape or form.
The main point of doing a night drive, is that fact that is at night. Traffic between 2300 and 0400 is almost null in our area, especially once you hit the valley. Safety is a number one concern on these drives to not only protect ourselves, but other drivers. When you do these drives you have a lead car that runs out in front to check the roads and has a radio so if he spots a car he will let us know. He will also state adverse road conditions including animals. The next concern is you only want to do so for a small block of time so you minimize your impact on public safety, especially if there is a newer driver in the group. With how the suspension is setup on European hot hatches, like the GTI and MINI Cooper, you never should have to cross the double yellow and can remain on you side of the road, even further lessening the risk of impact. The final advantage of night is headlights. If you are approaching on another car you can see their headlights and know to slow down to not risk their safety, during the day this factor does not exist and makes situations more likely to occur. We may be only 20 years old but we aren't stupid, the goal isn't to be an idiot and just floor it, it's to learn driving skills that will help you anywhere, and teach you that just because you may have a fast car doesn't mean you know how to drive it or use it to its full potential. Accidents happen regardless of it is a night drive or rush hour traffic on the highway.

I have always thought LFS would make a great platform for a Pikes Peak style event which is kind of what Wizard is showing.

And I really hope we see something like this implemented, it's almost a shame that the developers spent time to develop these extra map details and locations, but they are locked away until someone says we can use them!

Would also be nice to add in night time and working headlights, but that will come by S4 hopefully lol.

Quote from E.Reiljans :Cocaine is helluva drug.

+1

On the note of 0.6E though I have actually been expierencing weird server lag and crashes, when I never ever have had before. However the new connection system works is annoying as heck.

Also if He's only playing a Demo [AA] server what's it matter? 1 demo "Race" server compared to all the drift and cruise servers, Maybe just put some AI on the server and let him just fool around with them. He will never know! lol

I'm done arguing with someone who doesn't want to listen. Especially ones who are posting in a thread with severely contrasting ideas to the suggestion posted.

And every single post is read by the LFS staff whether you believe it or not. A butt load more stuff goes on behind closed doors than you think. They are probably laughing at the ignorance right now

As I originally said I race on tracks and on the street in real life. One who says cruising isn't racing only participated in a car show cruise and not a night drive. The skills required for a night drive is much more than any track will ever require as there are more factors, and the roads aren't designed for it. Cruise servers help simulate this. There are obstacles in the way but you still drive and attempt to push it as hard as possible. It's like Microsoft Flight Sim, so many ways to play it, even mods that let you drive bloody cars, but in the end if you'be played it enough you can fly a real plane better than you did before. LFS aims to do the same thing, no matter what your definition of racing is.

Didnt know if you could track it down somehow I just remember using Mac addresses to set up static internal ip address at the house a while back

I know I don't have much experience with this type of stuff, but it almost seems like he is splitting his data between different outputs. Almost like one packet from one IP and the next from another. Can his mac address be tracked down and blocked?

Just adding some feedback, love the active interest in open communication. Can't wait for the VWS and I'm pretty sure you should hire Lynce lol.

These guys are just idiots. As stated above they game is meant to be played your own way. If you are going to deter posts and make useless attacks and slander go somewhere else. This is a suggestion thread not a let's post an idea and say no that's what this game is about. That's not up to you now is it? I've played this game since S1, and am still playing to this day because I can play how I want, unlike these other games where you have to level up and such. Cruising is a form of racing, we go on night cruises all the time which entail 4 cars at speeds over 100mph on our small narrow valley passes.

You keep saying cruise was to filter it, once you will it honestly was not you will see how great this game truly is. It was requested for ages and finally object and other items could be supported to create larger layouts and support open worlds.

And I hate Need For Speed, anyone will attest to this. I'm just basing the comparison off of the worlds best known racing game. Game concepts change, you have this mentality that my way is the only way. and that's not how Scawen sees it or he would have never added it. He saw that the platform he designed has a completely new potential to bring in more players and more revenue to save a dying engine. Sure it's still got some of the worst graphics ever but hey, it improved on skinning from NASCAR Racing 3 of Windows 98.

The world will never go the way you want it to, sometimes you have to realize your idea is wrong. You think LFS is just for racing, LFS was just for racing. S3 has been held off ever since cruise servers have been gaining popularity, so I wouldn't doubt that we'll see added items for cruise servers alone.

And if you read my post the need i say more was reffering to another one of these well this is a racing game guys contradicting himself in support of another suggestion

Let people play their way, and suggest their suggestions. Also quit attacking other users, this is against the TOS, and is clearly stated. This is meant to be a friendly forum with shared ideas. Not a use for hateful attack posts.

EDIT: And Cargame you are incorrect especially about [TC] servers, there are afk kicks, only once you have wasted several (And I mean like 7plus) straight hours will you not get kicked instantly, they have implemented afk kicks because so many people want to play, when the server is full, it is truly full. Especially during peak hours, all afk kicks have a shorter time frame to prevent people from not being let in!

Quote from Bose321 :Why would you want to do that?

These bespoke things etc are just hacks I guess and thus not allowed.

Actually BeSpoke and Rim Changer are on this very forum and supported just like texture mods as they create no collision issue.

It actually was not a bug but rather an easter egg... Ever played Halo? The same things were included in there... Game creators like to have fun too not just design.

Cruise was added by request, it actually makes it easier for users trying to find servers of their liking easier, just like how I hate the f1 cars and mark them off, I can mark cruise to find a cruise server. It wasn't added to spite users or attack servers, read your remark and realize how ignorant that is...

Deliberately attacking someone who expresses their view politely and thoroughly is totally uncalled for no matter about what, where, or who you are.

EDIT: and comparing it to iracing is an even worse statement. Iracing was developed to be a circuit racing game, and that was known ever since it's creation. LFS is completely different. It had a concept, a simulator like no other. It started off as just a racing simulator but then was adapted and modified to open and accept other ideas. Think Need For Speed, it was originally designed to be the ultimate racing simulator and was sponsored by road and track. No one ever though the street racing open world of Underground 2 would change what people wanted in a Need For Speed game forever. This is just like how open tracks will change LFS forever.

You even contradict youself in another thread

Quote :If LFS was to be some serious sim racing only game, it would be totally different... now it's just something in between searching for it's place.

Need I say more?

From personal experience I love to do things my way, and LFS still lacks bodykits, or basic customization.

I don't want to post anything to get me banned, but when toying over LAN with a simple edit of wing removal seems to cause no collision issues, but this is for discussion on another forum. I forget where in the agreement it says not to discuss it on here.



But my question is, why does rim changer cause online issues? Isn't it a computer change only? why do servers see it as a problem. I miss bespoke and love bigger rims than the boring stock ones! (no offence devs!)
