So why i even bother with lfs ?

You have driven 179 laps of the demo, and your moaning about lack of content ... :rolleyes:

pm me what you need and I will do it for you

Just download the lfs.exe scawen posted at the top of this thread, so it replaces your existing one

Thanks

try clicking the "racers & hosts online" icon, just comes up blank to me, even though all the servers are fine

LFS World was still working when i posted this, must have gone shortly after.

Edit : Changed thread title

As the title says for some reason the /W commands don't seem to be working, tried in a couple of servers and nothing, anyone else having this problem or know whats causing it

Edit: not sure if this is the right place, I guess its a problem with lfsworld hence why i posted it here, feel free to move it.

Quote from RMachucaA :

Dont you guys realize, that as every day passes, LFS falls behind more and more and more, due to the tiny dev. team size, and them trying to add more and more things, the time it will take them to complete the tasks is exponentially greater, and it has reached a point where when they finish said tasks (if they ever do), they are close to obsolete, so scawn gets started on updating them again, and since it takes a tiny dev team so long to do, by the time the 2nd update to the original update is almost done, its once again, completely obsolete, then wash\rinse\repeat the process x infinity.

And that my friends, is why LFS has been dead a long time.

Sorry but your point makes no sense what so ever, the current development is mainly the the new tyre physics, once these are finished how can they become obsolete, if they are made to be as accurate as possible now then hopefully they should not need any reworking in the future, which I guess is why it's taking so long, if they get a near perfect tyre model finished and working then future development can be focused on other things.

The "tiny dev team" have done a good job so far in that LFS is still one of the most realistic racing sim on the market, sure it would be nice to have updates on a regular basis but they have always stated that they work at their own pace and in their own way, I don't see a problem with that, at the end of the day most people have been (and still are) racing S2 for several years for just a one off small licence fee, if you want constant updates and content then go pay for it at iRacing

You can delete your LFS account on the main LFS site but I don't think it deletes your forum account, you can't usually delete them as it would mess up all the old threads due too all the missing posts from deleted accounts.

Well the thing that gets me is that it's the same user getting back on, it's not another account...

check the username carefully as some of the people that do this tend to just replace the letter o with a zero, add punctuation marks to the name etc. Meaning they have several username's that look the same.

As Greybull said take a note (and a replay) of the trouble makers and notify the servers admin so they can extend the bans.

The only rules that are actually written in black and white are :


4) Any "mods" - modifications to the Live for Speed exe, must be discussed with a moderator before being released on the forum. If a mod is approved by a moderator, it may then be released in the appropriate section of the forum. Please do not contact a developer as we do not support mods and do not have the time to deal with them. Any mods which change the shape of a car model, or which allow online cheating or circumvent HLVC, will be rejected.

From here : http://www.lfsforum.net/privacy.htm

as the others have posted, editing textures, pictures (start menu, pit selection screens, trackside adverts etc) and also any of the sound files (engine, tyre and impact noise etc) are all allowed to be "legally" edited.

Edit: to answer your question, tyre side walls, skins, steering wheels are all fine to edit. Basically if you can find the mod in a supported section on this forum then its allowed

Quote from Zen321 :

- Bundling arbitrage : I've read several times that a single-track and 2 cars (the 'Roc and the unknown car) felt not sufficient to justify the £12 for S3. As such, they may have decided to bundle the new content addition with S3 to improve the perceived deal by the prospective customers, while waiting to release upgades to the current track at the same time as S3 goes live to incease the impact of the new version.

I think that you are correct in that s3 would need more content than just rockingham and 1 more car, the vws is as previously posted by Scawen to be available to s1 and 2 users so would not be classed as part of s3.

Whatever the current situation I really cannot see the devs just giving up on LFS, I would say its more the fact that Scawen wants everything to as close to perfect as he can get it before release. Going by his last few reports/updates the detail and research that are going into the new tyre physics is extremely complicated. This is obviously going to take a massive amount of time to perfect and implement into LFS. I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

It does get a little flustrating not having any updates (both patch wise and not hearing how its progressing) but that said there is still plenty of life left in LFS as it currently stands, given the current release has remained untouched for quite some time now I would still say that it's up there with the best of the other sim's.

Quote from Forbin :

There is a group photo floating around the interwebs from around the time S1 was released, although it may have been around the time S2 was released. Figure at least 5 years ago.

Quote from TehPaws3D :

There should be a starting system that starts classes by themselves, Like GTR, Gets a 5 second head start against LX, LX can be mixed with TBO for fairness, Then NGT, Each one having a 5 second lead.

Staggering the start for different classes is surely going to make things worse, especially if you do it for each class, this would mean the gtr's are already 15 seconds ahead of the tbo class, which means (especially on the shorter tracks) they will catch up the back of the grid for lapping quicker than usual, also it gives less time for the back markers to break apart meaning when the faster cars come to lapping they will have to deal with a whole pack of tbo's

try www.setupgrid.net and http://setupfield.teaminferno.hu/ plenty of good setups for most car/track combos on both of them

oh sorry i thought by the way you worded it you didn't know what a .dds was, most of it is the same as all the tyre surfaces are in that file and he has only changed the bf1 tyres.

Quote from logitekg25 :

you added a .dds file attachment..what exactly is that?

Its the file type that lfs uses for all the car/track textures, all the hi res addons you see posted in here are remade higher res versions of the existing lfs .dds texture files. Just save it in lfs\data\dds and the file attached in the first post will change the tyre surface texture on the bf1.

Just remember to backup your original dds files before doing so, so you can put the original back if you dont like it.

Unfortunately as Flame said you do get a lot of problems in demo servers, try going to a few servers that are regularly moderated and you should get some clean racing, as for your setups try going to www.setupgrid.net or http://setupfield.teaminferno.hu/ and download some of the sets uploaded there, make sure to save them to your LFS\Data\Setup folder

Nice one Tom, thanks for sharing it
