Bob it was the keyboard. As I said I'm lucky to have so many spare componentes at home. Thank you!

Quote from Bob Smith :

Never had it happen with the mouse, that's weird, considering it's analogue.

However I had that back when I used to drive with keyboard, IIRC it was down to a cheap keyboard giving dodgy signals. It never affected typing, but swapping keyboards cured the problem.

Not sure if that will help in your case though.

It could be the solution, as both mouse AND keyboard freeze. Luckily I have like 3 or 4 keyboards available to test it.

Hi, I'm having some problems with my mouse and I don't know if the problem is my machine or the game itself.

It happens that from time to time my mouse and keyboard lock and the car won't turn or accel/brake. I can't figure out the reason as it happens if I have other programs running in the background and without having them too. Also sometimes I have things running in the background and it doesn't happen, so I'm not sure if CPU ussage could be the reason.

Anyway I want to know if it happens to other people as well, because I just purchased the S2 and it didn't happen so much in demo, or ar least it didn't bug me so much. Now I want to run 30+ min league races and it's quite likely to happen this at least a couple of times in that time, and in that circumstances I will most likely crash, get out of the track, or even hit someone unintentionally.

Can anyone help me?

Ok, now I have my brad new S2 license , so please tell me which is the best application for browsing/joining servers and tracking budies!

And I remembered I saw somewhere an application to calculate good gear ratios, could you also tell me its name and where to find it?

Quote from Jakg :

1. Yup, you can drive fairly quick with a mouse

2. Yes, you can

3. No, only one online at a time

4. Pause - "p" Fastforward "F2"/"F3"

You cant rewind replays

I realized after posting that it's not rewinding what I wanted to say, but slowing down the playback rate I didn't know 'p' was used for pause, thanks.

Now I think my main problem will be creating a paypal account and that stuff...

Hi, I'm near to my final decision of purchasing an S2 license (my christmas present for myself) and I wanted to ask some questions before i take the final step.

I've been around for about a month or so since I installed the demo version, and my times have improved very quickly to the actual 1:33.53. However, I'm finding very hard to control the rwd cars, although I'm beginning to handle the XRG, the XRT is still far away from being under control.

1. I have the money to purchase a license, that's no problem, but I don't have money for a good steering wheel, so I'd keep racing with my mouse/keyboard configuration. I want to ask if the more powerful fwd and 4wd cars can be handled -to a reasonable good pace- with mouse/kb, or even if a setup for rwd cars that would avoid oversteering would make the trick for me.

2. I'd also like to know if there are leagues in which you can drive without being a pro or being part of a team, which would be my case as I won't have so much time to practice, but I really like racing

3. I also have questions about the unlocking rules listed in the website. It says that you can unlock two computers for your own use or LAN playing. I don't know how it works, but i guess it shouldn't be possible to be playing online with both computers then, am i right?

4. And the last question is about the "manual". Does it reallly exist? I mean... I've seen the one in the web but it looks there's a certain lack of information about some things there. For example it took me a while to figure out how to fast forward and rewind in replays, and I still don't know if I can pause them. Where is all the information about those kinds of things?

Hi, I'm still a demo pilot thinking about purchasing a license, so I enjoy playing public demo servers at the moment.

I'd like to know if there's any third party application which could help me to find servers and mainly find people I've raced with, who put up close and clean races. Of course, it should work without needing an S2 license.

Thanks in advance!

I don't know why so many of you say that BG music won't let you hear the car sounds. Of course I play with winamp at 30% volume +/- so I can hear the wheels noise, if not then I will totally screw almost all corners.

The point is that sometimes for good, sometimes for bad, listening to, well, not actually listening, but having 160 bpm BG playing while driving makes you change your behaviour and be more agressive, more sharp, risking more, etc.

I just turn it off when I want to hear my family calling me from another room

It always happens that whenever I join a forum I feel the urge to create a new topic (which most of the times has already been discussed). Please don't be too hard on me.

I was wondering if you usually play while listening to music, and what kind of music do you play with. At first I played without any music, just car engines and wheels sliding. Then I thought it would be nice to play my favourite Initial D music on the background while racing. I'd say that I enjoy it better when listening to music, but the need to rush comes out and i tend to be a little slower due to lower concentration

Anyway, it's fun, and it's funny how music can affect your driving style and the way you attack the corners.

The music I usually prefer is Initial D OSTs, NFS OSTs, Fast & Furious OSTs and anything you would listen to in a racing movie. I know maybe people who like those are not very well thought here, but I'm the kind of guy who loves racing, simulation, and clean driving.

Hi, I already played LFS back when S1 was not out, and i left after the S1 was released. Now I have some free time again so I decided to play again. There must have been lots of changes but it still looks the same to me, I guess the changes in physics are hard to notice

I'm thinking of buying a S2 license but I'm not sure, I'd like to know more about the community, because I don't have so much time to play or join teams and compete and I don't know if it's a good idea to buy an S2 license and remain an amateur forever (you know, everybody faster than me in all circuits and stuff).

Anyway, the demo is still awesome if you avoid the wreckers
