Thanks for the update, shared it on the LFS Discord so people are aware

And will be V and W sometimes united again or will be there always a Mod-Version? I want a

After test patch phases like we currently are in, new features (e.g. mods support) always get rolled out in the next full version. Wouldn't make sense to keep the mods version and community separate.

It took my slow 8 mbit/s connection ~50 seconds to have both images loaded

About leagues and organized racing, there is pretty much an event every day of the week, like rane said, some days even multiple. Some of them are streamed and commentated live by Sim Broadcasts. See this week's schedule for example: https://www.lfs.net/news/1448 . On some events, for example FM GTi Thursday or FOX Friday, we are usually filling up all the server slots and we have to miss those who don't qualify in Top 40 .
As for community, the LFS Discord server is also growing big now! If you prefer to join, you can find it in Discord's Server Discovery search feature, or join using this link: https://discord.com/invite/wZrUTJN

promising progess on a (finally) unique design keep it up!

(also, you will run out of version numbers soon )

It's been corrected in W44. https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1969384#post1969384

How many mods will u allow? 120? And how is it decided whose mod gets accepted?

The 120-limit has been misunderstood many times recently... It's not a limit for the whole vehicle mod database on lfs.net, but rather a whitelist-like limit for a single server: a server will be able to allow/whitelist 120 different mods (identified by skin ID), which the server allows to be used. This feature is not implemented yet, though. Quote:

Quote from Bose321 :

Is it possible to accept/reject specific cars for a host? For example, people create their own new race class with modified TBO's or something, can you manage which mods are allowed or not via the server, or InSim? Like you can whitelist or blacklist a few mods by ID or whatever?

It's already possible through InSim and it is marked as a high priority task to manage a list of allowed mods in game, an equivalent of our current allowed cars but it's a more complex system. Current plan is a list of up to 120 allowed mods. For first test version it's just allow mods yes/no.

Hosting:
Just tried the free server creation, works nicely, and the server management on lfs.net is a nice package! As stated, upon me leaving, after a while it stopped running. Great!
Some minor things: since there will be no downloadable dcon, you might want to rephrase the Help texts upon clicking "?" next to server parameters in-game, when creating a host (specifically I mean the mention of a local host, or about opening appropriate TCP/UDP ports etc.). Also, the upload bandwidth calculations might not be needed, either (above car selection table).

EDIT: also, a quick notice of how the free hosting works (that it runs remotely, closes after a while) would be fitting upon clicking Start New Host, just to make things clear for those who are not aware.

I am missing the questionmark in the server list, where one could see the connections, quali or race progress. It's sad it's now gone in W34.

[*] RIP Meeting room (30 Oct 2003 - 6 Nov 2021)

I was online on Mods Test: Europe 2, was having fun with the Prokart, but then I spectated and alt-tabbed. After a minute or so, I noticed LFS was no longer running. I have an entry in Windows logs, but there's no details I could add to the crash, it surprised me as well (and made me question whether I did close LFS or not )! Couldn't reproduce since.

I noticed LFSW PB messages in-server, when the modded car has a longer name paired with a longer username, are cut off.

Welcome to LFS!

At first, LFS can be quite overwhelming with all its options, so if you have any questions about it, feel free to ask here on the forums, or on the LFS Community Discord server: https://discord.gg/wZrUTJN. You usually can get near-instant replies there, as there are more than 1,6k members on the server now

The LFS Community Discord server is now publicly searchable via the Discord server discovery tab, which means new users no longer need an invitation link to join!
This should help us grow the LFS community on Discord, allowing people to find and join it more easily.

If you prefer, you can still join using the invitation link: https://discord.com/invite/wZrUTJN

Meanwhile, the server is growing big: there are more than 1,500 of us!

Hi! Try pressing Backspace. That's the hotkey for the on-screen virtual keyboard (for VR, mainly).

Nice to hear you got it sorted out! Have fun with your new license!

Unfortunately, the official LFS merchandise shop was shut down in 2016: https://www.lfs.net/news/1070

Welcome!

Quote from Bradley Esau :

Hi, I am new to LFS. I am just getting back into sim racing after a long absence and needed something I could play online through my not particularly powerful laptop. I am thrilled to have found this site after searching through all the options I could. Far and away the best value on the internet as far as I could see. After getting a feel for things on the demo over a few days I bought the S2 license and so far am very pleased and having a great time learning the cars and tracks available to me - it's everything I was looking for.

Just to clarify the flag beside my name, I am a Canadian living in the Philippines.

Quote from BiG JeRmZ :

We need a good cruise server in LFS and I don't see any. I've been away from LFS for a while but I miss it. I can host a server on a high end machine and gigabit internet connection if someone with a good insim is interested.

What do you define as a "good cruise server"? I'm more of a racer type, probably did under 10 kms on cruise servers overall throughout the years, so not an expert in the field, but the TC CityDriving servers are really popular, as I always see them on the top of the servers list. Do you count them as not-good-enough cruise servers?

Hi. If not you, someone else surely used your account to unlock LFS. Those unlocks don't just evaporate. More info about unlocks and when you'll get your next one: https://www.lfs.net/faq/33

Quote :

How often can I unlock?
Initially you will be granted 3 unlocks. In addition, you get an additional unlock available every friday, provided you do not already have 2 unlocks available. So unless you are having severe problems with your computer, you should be fine and always able to unlock LFS again after a reinstallation of Windows for example, or when you buy new computer parts or a whole new computer.

Could it be that your disk, where you are installing LFS to, is full?
