In October 2004 the minimum system requirements were:
1 Ghz or better with a recent graphics card.

Today they're:
1 GHz CPU, 128 MB memory, 3D graphics card.

Good stuff. This is why I love fridays (well ...).

However, the "return" button of the escape menu says "end race". Perhaps it should say "end replay"?

Quote from yoyoML :

Flat-six placed behind the rear axle for a 40:60 weight distribution? Looking past skin deep it is quite based on the 911.

So? Even if it was based on a Porsche 911 it would not have to be a 4WD. But it doesn't matter.

The reason I pointed the difference out was because gekkibi seemed to have read too much into what was written in the wiki. It is important that things like these are sorted so people won't be disappointed as they unlock S2 expecting something that's not there.

Quote from Gekkibi :

Before I bought a license, I even thought it would be 4WD (Because it is based on Porsche 911 [According to the manual]).

Wrong! It says it is resembling a Porsche 911. There's quite a difference.

Quote from kiss me :

Unless the speed test is lying your upload bandwidth is approximately 500 kb (kilobit). That means that, in theory, you'll only be able to host one full server allowing 13 cars on track and one spectator at 4 PPS. At most!

All according to this formula:


Now lets multiply that figure by 8 to get the numbers in kilobit.


Good luck!

If IGA in the form of billboards would make it possible for us to seal a deal with a sponsor which could provide a service that would be relevant to our community (such as web- or game server hosting) I would not hesitate to use it.

We're currently using an Insim button to display a banner for 60 seconds as you connect to server. Even though only one single person has had a complaint I'd much rather use billboard advertising. (FYI the person in question withdrew his complaint when he realized that displaying that particular banner had made it possible for us to upgrade our previously struggling server).

I guess he might have tried to embed a youtube video, which isn't possible on this forum. Here's the actual link to the clip.

The skin-pack has now been updated for patch Y meaning the FBM is finally covered. I'm terribly sorry it took so long but I've been busy being lazy.

See post #1 for more info and download links.

Quote from EQ Worry :

Yes, I understand that point very well. But in the end it will be the S2 drivers that will get lots of messages about inability to download skins of demo drivers when they come on any demo server or S2 server currently in demo track/car configuration. And I think they are not used to such errors and they may soon feel frustrated.

Do you really think Scawen hasn't thought of that? I seriously doubt that those notices will appear in this case.

By the way, I welcome the recent changes whole-heartedly, both as an admin and a racer. Keep it up!

LFS-Tune is the only application available for patch Y. If you want to use LFSTweakS2 you need to use an older version of LFS (0.5V).

As described in swediish here.

Very nice, EK!

How about making use of LFS slogans (the online racing simulator. / No arcade modes, no steering aids. YOU have to do the driving.) and printing the full website address?

Last summer I was promoting LFS at my local kart track and I'm planning to do the same thing this summer. I've got permission to put up some posters and I'm thinking some more info on them wouldn't hurt. What do you think?

Yes,

0 = no filter
1 = filters chat
2 = filters chat and system messages (like "x left the pits" etc.)

If you're making a video perhaps you'd like to remove the actual chat lines as well?

You can do so by changing MPR Message Block 0 to MPR Message Block 2 in cfg.txt.

25 laps per forum post. I'm not quite sure what that makes me ...

I'm quite surprised to see that such a large number of racers have names turned on! I might tap the N key a few times if I'm about to lap someone and would like to know who it is before I do. Other than that I never race with names above cars. The position list is enough for me to work out who's who.

Yeah, I'll just go ahead and steal your thread:

Frankly, I'd like to see all cars start in the pits at the start of a race session. Though I'm not suggesting everyone would have to do an out lap. No, a "go to grid" button would do absolutely fine. This would minimize the risk of having an AFK driver on the grid (which happens quite often in pick-up races and every now and then in league racing as well).

To incorporate your idea into this, all Scawen would have to do is to remove the "go to grid"-button for those who haven't qualified.

On topic: Great designs all! Nice to see such a great amount of talent.

Looks like there were just below 500 racers online at peak hours during patch X. When patch Y was released there was an increase, obviously. Now we're back to to "normal", or perhaps a bit above.

Thank you for the confirmed date. I'm still interested but definitely not ready to confirm my attendance yet. I am not particularly interested in the biking of quads.

I too has reacted on your way of giving critique, squid. The least you could do is to turn down the level of sarcasm in your replies.

Edit: After all, this isn't X-factor and the people posting videos here are not trying to become super stars.

F1 cars are started by an external starter motor. I guess the reason they are not fitted on the car is to reduce weight.

Should this happen again a quick fix would be to block that particular content from within the browser. Opera, for example has a built-in 'block content' feature while Firefox has the 'Adblocker' plugin (if I'm not mistaken).

OR you could simply deactive signatures alltogether!

Such a string seems to be missing within LFS. Perhaps a message to let the spectated racer know what happened to him would be in place.
