Quote from Skinzinho :really hard to work alone,

Guess who has the same problem but ignoring the consequences for years already

Quote from adrienne224 :I expected everyone to be excited about getting race back but the crowd was disapointing.

Crowd also looks at weather forecasts. Sitting around the track at 10 Celsius / 50 Fahrenheit, wind and gray weather isn't really inviting is it. Bad scheduling I would say.

Although in the UK you have three point six days a year with moderate nicely weather, also true.

Quote from lucaf : Opposite, I have been surprised how small amount of populated servers there are.

What is small? I count 20 full servers at this time of the day.

I now noticed on another picture that it is simply a metal plate (with a little curve in it). Ye, you can make that easily yourself.

Quote from SimulatorRental.com :
I have had adults, that very likely drove to the event, ask which pedals are gas and brake. And even after I told them, they still pressed wrong one.

Interesting social research project. I think you need a mod like this. If you say the big one is for braking, they will remember it more easy (I guess).

Funny that you explain how to shift up or down and which pedal needs to be used for braking.

Cool to see everything boot up so quickly, will save you a lot of time. Crackers will also be very delighted with this new /mp function I presume but that is a discussion which should not be in this topic.

The GPU is very weak, its twice as slow as a GeForce 9600M GS for example (2008). Also the CPU is very slow, its comparable to the old Atom line of Intel, this laptop is not suitable for LFS. But on your profile you mention proper hardware so probably this is some backup machine. Anyway, don't expect anything of it, the parts cannot handle it.

I fixed it.

(By doing another posting and then delete my own post Smile ) .. In fact I think it has something to do with another deleted posting on top of that page. Just an assumption though. Because a new page got created when I did my posting.

I understand the enthusiasm from newcomers but it's not going to happen anytime soon (years). This is all requested yyyeeaarrssss ago already in a separate collectibles thread here; https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/2626-Suggested-improvements-log-%5BREAD-before-making-a-new-thread%5D and nothing got removed as completed from that list the last six years. Considering cars, I have to say... Some things got removed from that list (light gray).

Big garage would be more practical, maybe something for the future? I can see one on your earlier photos but I think its too small. What the neighbor has, across the road, that size you need Tongue

Ah another person who thinks that he/she has the capability to read minds! Constructive.

Let me clarify it especially for you, I thought of ways to improve the filtering system of servers long ago but then came to the conclusion it is not possible so I didn't brought up the matter. Now someone else does, I explain the problem wondering if someone could give an answer that I didn't think of before.. But.. Then your best reply is; you are negative, blabla? Start to attack someone personally? Seriously?

This is even less hopeful.

Is that the solution, hhmm, that doesn't sound very hopeful.

The problem is that there will be people faking a server mode. I mean how "Drift/Cruise/Free/Any/Test/Custom" can you define a official difference between all those modes. How to prevent server admins of producing false information?

Quote from Racer X NZ :The next stage here will be people removing the great servers that we currently have because servers cost money, and if no one is using them, why spend the money ?

I have server capacity overhead for like 5.000 LFS server instances. Besides that, hobby's are allowed to cost money. Linux VPS's are crazy cheap.

The reason why CG servers are offline (except demo) is that I do not want the psychological pressure, it's more annoying to keep stuff running for 100 people then like it was for 10.000 LFS accounts a month(I am not exaggerating with that number, I logged it).

I know league organizers think the same. (CityLiga, GenR, this American guy.. What was the name.. Edit; Ah yes NDR)

Hmmnah.. You don't tell a writer what book he/she needs to write, or a movie maker what movie he/she needs to produce also don't you. LFS started with no public interest, there was even surprise that there was global interest when 0.1 got released. The same "easy-going" mindset does still exist today, it's not possible to change that way of living. People here need to learn that not much is going to happen in the future, I am amazed that a small group of people here just keep trying and trying. It's not possible when you need to run family life and have an aging brain. Team Scavier is not in it's early 20's anymore, it's humanly not possible, all great talents stop after around the age of 35. What could be the reason for that hm?

The only problem is that the current generation is too stupid to produce something good on its own.

Quote from zmayco :can I convert lfs external to insimdotnet?

It's a really bad idea to continue someone elses work, especially when it is extremely old. You spend much more time fixing problems then when you would have started from scratch.

Bla.. bla.. bla.

This is again a discussion without any knowledge. It's assumed that the topic starter is interested in RACE, but I know, because I've seen, that he is interested in DRIFT.

I saw that he ended up on Nubbins AU Drift.. And thats where he should be because it's an AUS server.

Well.. The IP is AUS according to LFSWorld. But this GeoIP thing doesn't have to say everything (for example the cargame demo server right now has an Irish flag but it's not based in Ireland).

Quote from Scawen :We are working on important graphical updates.

Which will have a short term boost like the BL update and WE update accomplished. It's not a structural improvement for the online environment. But it's OK, it's your project, your idea how the future should look like concerning LFS. In theory every update is good.. As long as it is timed and more frequently then the last -many years-. Remember Chucks candy story.

It's a good thread, I noticed it before on some screenshot here but I didn't knew it was some limitation from 9 years ago. Good to know.

Needs to be fixed at some point because it looks... Lets say it nicely.. Fony.

So you want to join people -all over the world- from Australia?

You know this is technologically impossible don't you? Otherwise you need some basic network lessons first. Most servers are based in Europe at the moment (you are now on a Russian server), it's not possible for somebody from Australia to join an European server without lag. No matter what game title. If you cannot understand this you can better leave this sim yes.

USB tethering.. Although I really do not like to promote mobile network usage. It sucks monkey balls.

Correct! Best idea in years. And if you read carefully the OP, it's not offtopic in offtopic Smile

Especially imported a Z Force from the States for it. Awesome phone. Little bit too big to my liking but OK, cant have it all I guess. Silly people wanting to walk around with almost tablet sized stuff.
