Quote from Scirocco :LFS is advertised as a SIMULATOR, not a game. Until it can be turned off in real life, it shouldn't be simulated in LFS.

Well, a TRUE simulator would not restrict the user in such ways. For example if you'd want to run a simulation on how many laps you can do with a certain fuel load the simulator should not force you to worry about tyre wear or damage. LFS is a game though, and a game needs such restrictions to make it interesting

It happens because of the way the textures are mapped in S2. In those two screenshots for example the white lines appear to be the start line "checkerboard" from the bottom of the JA_roadxtras.dds texture. The texture is simply mapped in such a way that in the distance some pixels of the checkerboard get drawn because it is so close to the edge of the mapping. AF makes it much "worse" because it uses pixels from a larger area to draw one texel.

Quote from bobvanvliet :An InSim app would be a great intermediate solution, especially for leagues where it is easy to make sure everybody has the app.

Having it in the server should be enough, I dont think the clients would need to have any specific functionality for it to work.

Wouldn't it be possible to do this already with an InSim app on the server? Give a speed limit to the leader and if he/she goes faster than that then give a penalty (Display a race control message to let the driver know about it, "Keep your speed under 100km/h" or something.) and when the leader passes a certain point in the race show a "green flag" message to everyone. If at this point someone has passed another car then give him/her a penalty. For the non-leader cars there could be a "Stay behind driver X" message constantly displayed before the flag goes green.

Obviously it would need some other checks too, ie. if someone stops during the lap then throw him to spectating so others can pass him/her.

Pedal cars. The faster you'd pump the accelerator and brake the faster you'd go

Is there some way to get the ip address of a host, so it could be pinged?

Its the server admin password that you set from the create server screen, it is also used by insim for some reason.

Quote from L(Oo)ney :Also found a bug. If you use the XFR, and select the R2 tyres, you can still go online with those tyres selected, they seem like the R2's to me.

Thats because you can use R2's in the XFR even without the mod.

No images, they just make the forum look messy and harder to read as thread pages are half filled with peoples's signatures.
