Found something: If objects are selected and I CTRL+Right Click in a rectangle selection on other objects, that previous selection gets overridden with the CTRL+RC (rectangle selection) one. Therefor I need to re-select these objects.

Edit: discard that. I can't select marshalls when selecting the object (in preview mode prior to placing it), but can select them after placing the restricted area.

Not surprised at all. I knew the first time I saw him he shouldn't be trusted. Too bad people fell for it and gave him important info (e.g. credit cards) and/or bought licenses from him.

Today they salute you with a hand shake, but tomorrow they stab you on the back

Quote from joaopaulopt :

There is so much you can do without having real cars.

I agree, but they should be something new or a unique variant, rather than just XRTs with 300 different engines/bodykits, f.e. the so-suggested RB4 GTR (a great rival for the FXR), or brand new (real or ficticious) cars.

Setup protection would be useless. You just copy/paste the values into a new setup and voila, you can change whatever you want/share it to somebody else.

But it's going way off-topic to what the thread is really for. It's better to post this on the Improvement Suggestions sub-forum instead. It's there for a reason.

-----------------------------------------------------
Ps: Haven't had a single problem with R patches.

Aah, the super donuts (as I call them) setups... what a nice way to get dizzy

In my case I use Wheel/Joystick tab with mouse X axis set to steer. Maybe it's just me, but I feel it better than the dedicated mouse/keyboard tab.

Button Control Rate 10.00 (either 10, 9 or 8 is my preference)
Analog Steer set to 0.40 (higher values means slower movement, and lower values faster movement. You would notice as soon as you steer)

I rarely drift, so idk if my settings are optimum for drifting.

Quote from Nono 911 :

Hi, I'm new here and I want to know witch control is the better way to drift between :
-Keyboard
-Controler
-Wheel.

Note: I broke my controler, I don't have a wheel and the keyboard is not doing verry well.

Thanks for any reply and sorry if it was a stupid question for you.
Have a nice day !

Mouse is the way to go if other options aren't good/available

Welcome btw!

Quote from Al-KeN :

I hope he stop now,
I also want to play now ...

I just know he began the attack
because of Problems again with
TC Admins. Lets hope it will
stop soon as possible -.-

Whoever it is, it's plain stupid. It was far more easy to solve problems with TC staff contacting them via TC forums, not DDoSing LFS to show how butthurt he is over a ban.

I'm sure its one of those "I didn't do anything" "got banned for no reason" type of players.

Getting a OOS error here too. You should try again and attach a different spr.

What happened at the first turn btw? Like you brake coming to a semi-complete stop, shifted up into 5 and back to 1st, started driving again and OOS error appeared.

Unless you really want to drive on Rockingham, but depends of how you see it basically, if its worth to buy now or wait for new content. The final decision is yours in the end.

If you are starting to take your first races, you could stay behind the pack to avoid accidents. Some people get Triggered easily tho, so be prepared to face some anger to be thrown at you lol

Quote from MacedoSTI :

Or more real cars, i think, scawen can add 1 real car p/ year, maybe this happend when the new tyres are fished?

Scawen needs to ask for licenses to include real cars, which is not easy nor cheap, and licenses only gets expended with certain cars and conditions, not all cars from one brand. A "grey hole" to kinda surpass this would be to have Mod Support and let the community make these cars.

Setups are important, and not every setup fits your driving. Don't expect to make a WR just because you use the setup the WR holder used if you don't even know where to brake, or when to accelerate. The setup may or may not fit your driving depending strictly on you. Also depends on how aggressive and confident you are when taking corners and pushing the car to it's limit. Same goes for the racing line, braking and etc.

Quote from Aw3som3G4m3rzYT :

fast lines dont work because i've tried them
any line is a slow line if im driving on it
plus i am pushing it and i see no difference

Sorry, but then you are the problem, not the racing line. Just because you failed at them doesn't mean they don't work.

If you are feeling frustrated after practicing a bit, relax, play another game and take a break to refresh your mind and get back to it, otherwise the frustration will overrun making you fail more.

Quote from joaopaulopt :

I love this news but there is a problem Scawen
there are many players if not much of them of LFS that are playing of average computer, for example until my case, game 50-80 fps and if there are those graphs and that there is not that one that could be like LFS is now I will not be able to able to play it.
And I know cases that are worse than me and who reach 50 fps in the minimum

If you have any English errors, I'm sorry, I'm not very good

Sooner or later LFS will be updated with better, high res tracks, cars and graphics, so its something you won't be able to avoid.

Luckily Scawen and Eric does optimize the tracks (and graphics/shaders) really well.

An aeon

Pretty much what Onur said. Not any setup fits your style, combined with how aggressive you are taking corners, brake zones and etc etc.

You could do great with a setup, but spin off on the first turn with another setup. Plus depends on what you use: Keyboard, Mouse, Wheel or Gamepad.

It's not the same to drive with an oversteer-ish setup than an understeer-ish setup. Same goes for braking, suspension, camber, amount of fuel (more fuel=more weight=less power-weight, also known as a slower car). Basically everything.

Have you tried to do some test laps using some setups from www.lfs.net/files ?

You'll need an international credit card as listed on the Shop, or other payment methods as for example PayPal like Maus said.

I hope in the long run LFS will have more pay methods apart from credit cards/PayPal added, which will benefit both customers and the devs themselves more.

Sorry for le bump, but just today I found out this typo after I changed back to Latin Spanish (have been using English for so long it feels weird lol).

Original aka Typo:
3g_srnotsup > La FREQÜENCIA no es soportada : <data\sound\soundfile.wav>

Corrected:
3g_srnotsup > La FRECUENCIA no es soportada : <data\sound\soundfile.wav>

This typo is present in both Castellano (Spain) and Latino (Latin America). Checked both .txts and both have the same typo (fresh install also).

Quote from Abone :

without made false expectations

Just like Tyre Physics and VWS you say? If those aren't false expectations, then I don't know what you understand about "false expectations" or what "false expectations" even means.

Quote from Abone :

you just have to understand and enjoy or no LFS like he is.

I do understand LFS and that devs have a life behind it, but at this point you can't leave LFS to die, and the least thing you want is to cut any communication/support with the few people that still play this sim.

2018 is here and I can asure you I'm tired of waiting for something that never comes. If I could play other race sims (limited by hardware) I'd have done so time ago.

Just random Clues & Hints for more theories and speculation, which then leads to disappointment when an update comes because it's not what we expected to see.
I'm sure a few tracks are coming, but the question is when...

The "Surprise Factor" is way overused here, except that the Surprise is either a sock or coal.

Quote from kaiscott :

does this work for the xrg

Simply download and rename them to XRG.
Shouldn't be any further issues

Quote from Abone :

I mean you dont use these cars online for do a single lap in any track...yes you can drive on TC servers,Drift servers,etc..but have no sense to me you have s2 and just racing on demo. elitism? you feel alone dude?
I blame no one, you come here blame a suggestion because have other cars "left to die".No worries ,Devs knowing well what they do.

1). As I already said above, just because I don't join race servers regularly doesn't mean I dont race/practice alone, even if I didn't upload Hotlaps nor made PBs.

2). I never blamed on this suggestion. As I already said above, its not a bad suggestion, but its best to focus on what we ALREADY have.

•First time I heard about this "Graphical Overhaul" they were working last year, I was semi-hyped. But I can't expect too much (which I'd really like to be proven wrong when the update arrives). Devs let Speculation run free, which obv makes people's hopes back onto LFS, and then the update is just shadows for the 2D by-standers off-track. Worst thing you can do is to feed the Speculation Monster and let it run free, specially here in LFS.
There isn't any actual fact, it's all speculation on what Scawen posts about. Just by saying "Im working on it" doesn't prove anything.

•Never any pictures, a teaser video, News Report. Only Words on a random post isn't enough, and the only News Reports we had lately were only changelogs disguised as News, never a real "progress report". Last teaser video I ever saw from LFS was about the Rustywagen Rustyrocco. Saw it back on 2010, even if the video is from 2008. The next video is from FBM testing, made in 2007, but published in 2014, Westhill update, and a random rally stage driving on WST and that's it. I sincerely don't expect VWS to be ever released.

•Better have some updates this year tbh. I'm getting a bit tired of waiting for something that never comes, yet its the only sim I can really enjoy driving/racing/drifting/w-e on, and I always end up coming back, despite the fact updates are rare.

•FFS, devs are god freaking damn lucky a 10-year game with slob updates still can fill up servers. When these servers left (both big and small) start leaving, we can officialy say bye bye to LFS. Also car mods is the other reason some people still play it.

•Improvement Suggestions is just a subforum to post whatever cross your mind, because devs don't even bother posting on it. Is it that hard to clean it up a bit, with at least an Archive?.

•"I feel the new graphics is just a covering to pull wool over us, that the new physics is not even in the final stages of build. Yes, Tyre Physics may or may not be on its way out in the future, but when? Will there even be a market or consumer group left to experience the physics when it gets released?";

•"Tracks are coming. The only light at the end of this absurdly long tunnel"
But I will sure be seen as a bellend because I'm blunt and sharp with my words as always, and this post deleted because being blunt is a very bad thing.

I try to be optimistic, but at the same time im Realist about it, which is why I don't keep my hopes up with this sim anymore.

Quote from Abone :

First we got visual update, Tyre physics jump for a "plan B"

People do a small suggestion with car already on LFS because looks impossible having new cars...we dont need a new car,WE NEED NEW CARS FOR EVERYONE(Drift/Race/Rally).you have more cars for racing than us for drift. isnt our fault you just drive with XFG/XRG/FBM and zero laps on s2...

1). Who said I don't drive on s2 cars/tracks? Just because I don't do PBs/upload Hotlaps doesn't mean I don't drive them.
And what's the problem if I normally race with XFG/XRG/FBM? I'm not allowed to? Because I'm S2 it means Im forbidden to drive these cars anymore? Am I part of the S2 elitism and I didn't realize?.

2). Sure, because we need to cover Tyre Physics, so we throw the "Graphical Overhaul" tarp over it and everyone is happy. This tale is pretty known to me

3). I'm not against adding new cars, but what's the point of adding more and more XR variants when the rest of cars are just there, begging for an update? XRG for starters, XRT is enough for drift, FZ50 if you feel extreme.

Why do you think XFG, XRG (adding FBM) and Blackwood were reworked? To make Demo "prettier", but then you buy S1/S2/S3 (except for ROckingham) and find out you have Minecraft cars available. It should have been reversed, updated S1/S2/S3 content instead of Demo. But I don't blame them, Eric is working like a carbon mine slave and nobody to aid him and make things faster.

4). Not my problem LFS was designed to be a Racing sim but ended up being a cruise & drift sim. Go blame the game, not me.

5). I'm not saying the ideas depicted here are bad and/or shouldn't be implemented, I like the idea of a XRT and XRR crossover. But IMO LFS devs should focus on updating the EXISTING content to match the actual standards before adding more things.

Quote from vitamin9611 :

Scawen gave the answer or not?
WE really (drifters from real life) wants the simulator whith can give a lot of settings (Tyres width, rims height, horsepower (turbo boost) and e.t.c)

So we already have eternal Tyre Physics update coming in a aeon, and you want to complicate it even more? That will just delay things even more.


Tbh this idea is useless. Why make a total NEW car that looks identical to the XRR or XRT with just a tiny bodykit, a bit more powerful engine just to be Drift-exclusive? And in the other hand we have outdated af cars (UF1-UFR, LX4-LX6, RB4, FXO-FXR, FZ50-FZR, MRT) left to die. I'd rather focus on reworking these cars first.

Quote from Tomislav531 :

Would you rather xrd or v8 mustang... thats what I thought GG

None of these two will be added anyway. At least "Officialy", if not via Mod Support (if it will even be a thing).
