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.

away for four days now.. Might get tricky.
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.
Usernames, lap and split times blocking view .. How interesting.
Move to California or Florida? 
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).
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.
No point of making a point at this point in time.
Correct! Best idea in years. And if you read carefully the OP, it's not offtopic in offtopic 
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.

Ye.. Works like a charm.
Waiting on my physical keyboard though.. Doesn't take long anymore before it starts shipping
// I hope.. (Because it has a LFS release pattern lol)
Nice child pictures but you didn't answer my question. But I already know the answer so never mind, you are not allowed to do that from your institute. Forget about that, sorry
I don't know about the current Win10 upgrade rules. They said that if you pretend to have a handicap (like activate the visual assistance, magnifying glass, high contrast option) that you are still allowed to update but if this trick still applies I don't know.
//edit .. seems that you do not need to do any trick. Just use this tool; https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10

It's well known that you have no life experience ... Ever drinked a beer by the way?
... Ever drinked a beer by the way?Actually I can recommend it LFS development team also. It can lead to new insights.
This is a cheap office notebook, not meant for gaming. And if I take a look at the German reviews then it even fails at office work. I am sorry to say but by the looks of it, its a fail product from Lenovo, should not waste all this money on it.
This laptop has no GPU. It has a CPU with basic integrated GPU functions (Intel® HD Graphics 4000). Theoretically the CPU can be faulty but I doubt that, Intel CPU's are of very good quality, have thermal protection and some other protections to prevent getting destroyed.
But to not let you end in misery I strongly suggest to follow Abone's advice and upgrade to Win10. Win8 has too many performance instabilities (mainly due to sloppy drivers). Some Win8 users are lucky, some not.
Maybe it fixes some of your issues, possibly even everything.

That made me wonder what "device lost" actually is about..
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb174714%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
So, it has something to do with fullscreen/windowed mode and/or alt-tab if I understand it correctly. (Or, " Devices can also be lost due to a power management event, ")

If you search the internet you will find out that more people have the same problem with this program "Bitdefender".
There are enough 3rd party programs which do the job perfectly. It would generate too many screaming kids, it's bad.
I'd rather go for the 60 thing at this point. But to get back on this topic;
Why not at least mention on which USB port a device is found? It would be really silly if these ID's also change during a restart.
Example: G920 on USB1, G920 on USB2 etc.. How is this arranged in this system? A normal system doesnt have many USB ports to begin with, how many USB ports do you use anyway? 4 ports for wheels and 4 ports for audio? I have read in another topic of yours that you have force feedback problems on the wheels, how are you sure that your USB controllers are properly setup?

Yes, with a lot of flowers. Or kaleidoscopes.. Last year I did a weekend with Ayahuasca with the team leader of Genuine racing.. It was amazing. But.. In the end, it didn't make much of a difference. Still need to try the mushrooms though.
What is it with this walking up thing of yours? They can do whatever they want to do or not do. I am only saying to the people here, that based on a ten year history and a drastically changed lifestyle not much is going to happen in the upcoming ten years. If.. And that is what happens a lot these days, people compare it to other sim titles (-the best example-); Assetto Corsa. It has a massive amount of tracks and a massive amount of cars but this was only possible after some very serious shift in thinking of the main developer of the more then dead racing sim Netkar.
Now, team Scavier can do whatever they want to do but if at one day these tyre physics get released then I can bet that it would take another 15 years (minimum) before some user generated sharing system would be released. It's just keeping this false hope, aaaaaaaaaallll those years, that something serious is going to happen [which is bugging me a little].. It is just not going to happen, not possible in this team setup.
Disagree with who? Disrespect? You are making too many things up. It has nothing to do with respect blabla, I am talking about expectations of people here... And the seamingly endless thoughts like, "something serious is going to happen soon".. No.. It's not. Wake up. LFS is a nice niece old little racing sim but it will stay like that for at least another ten years. Why? Because of the alternative workflow. I am not criticizing that, I am just telling what the consequences are.
And lets be honest, if AC would have the same netcode and InSim system like LFS then everybody already would have forgotten about LFS. I foresee that somebody creates something like that earlier then that LFS has a user generated sharing system. So you can link and quote various developer talk but in the end it is not happening in a reasonable time span. Lets quote the breakable wings for example, how many years ago is this?
All these talks about development plans, its fine.. But as reader (fanboy/fangirl) you need to put it in a time perspective and have to conclude it are mostly dreams.

You see it happen? If yes, I wonder how.
Nah, nothing to do with team Scavier, more the persons discussing this.. I can not understand how people can talk for decades.. Not even years.. Decades.. About something which is not going to happen. Yes maybe at some point this dreaded tyre physics gets released in some sort of simplified form and yes there will be some track updates of fantasy tracks.. But.. That.. Will be about it. LFS is a hobby project, some hours are spend on it on a weekly basis.. Sometimes.. Sometimes some month(s) nothing happens at all.... It is no serious development cycle, so how in the world people can discuss week by week, year by year... Stuff like; "oh yes and this and this is going to happen", "and then this car and track"... Come on, can people get realistic for once in their life?!
