Quote from danowat :

2 weeks, or 2 weeks worth of miles, would be more than enough to evaluate the netcode.

2 weeks are enough, but its waste of Scawens time make restriction like this, because it would be very quickly cracked.
FYI: Ive bought S2 1 week after downloaded demo.
I agree with Kerain, the demo is fine as it is.

Quote from tristancliffe :

I don't see how people need online or more than three cars to show them what it's like.

Joke? LFS is ONLINE racing simulator and without trying online, I would never buy it. I need to check how good network code is, if my connection is good enough etc..

Quote from Cue-Ball :

If i'm racing along and come into the pits for fuel, then I hit F9 to see my tire wear and realize they're worn more than I thought, or are hotter than I thought, can I still change tires during that pit stop or would I have to tell the game to change tires, then pit AGAIN to actually have it done?

My suggestion: first line in F12 (Pit instructions) will be "Start/Wait", default is always Start. If you arrive to pit stop and this option is "Start", everything will be the same as it is now. If "Wait", you have time to check F9 and F10, dedide what to repair and then change Wait to Start command for pit crew. This take longer time, but this is penalty for you didnt know what you want and lost time haggling with pit crew.

Quote from Cue-Ball :

Also, since there's no way to tell the game NOT to fix damage, having the F10 key work wouldn't matter. As soon as you pit the car would get fixed.

Today no, but I hope options for fix car will be added, we should be prepared for this.

1. Only small graphics note, readability would be better if you could move speed number in RA a little bit right and maybe down (picture from default driver view)
2. When I change track, I get "Path info changed" but only if I change to Aston

Mentioned many times before.. Also different angle for left and right, coz you need larger angle for right side in tintops (if you sit on the left)

Quote from Cue-Ball :

NO F9 view
NO F10 view

Except pit stops

Quote from Scawen :

FIX : Could view other racers ARB and Brake Balance online

Could you disable F9 & F10 for other racers too when online? At least when race? Its "exploit" when some guys checks opponents suspension damage and tyre temps during long straights in league race.. Maybe disable TAB when driving during race/quali too.

Quote from DEVIL 007 :

Please could we have soon a shadows under all cars avaible and not limiting it only to 8 cars at one moment.
I am not saying its really a must feature but the 3D graphics in all games moving really forward also including the shadows for all 3d objects so such a small improvement woudl be welcome.

Also darker shadows under car tyres and additional shadow under a car so the car will not looks sometimes like "flying" a bit.

I reported this "bug" some time ago, looks odd
http://www.liveforspeed.cz/upload/SROC_d1_z3_01.jpg
And in some cases, there isnt shadow under formula wheels even if only one car on picture.

Yes, everything can be cracked, but 99,999% users dont know how to do it, especially stupid wreckers

Quote from Thorvertonian :

LFSWorld has a record of members of each team, maybe a team skin can be uploaded to LFSWorld where only the registered members can display this skin in game???

This isnt solution, not every team is registered and you can upload their skin renamed to lfsw as yours. Solution: if you upload skin, there would be option (checkbox) if its public or private. if public, no change from now, if private, skin would be coded to some unknown format (jpgx) created by devs and cant be shown via lfsw web by other users. jpgx will be normal jpg if decoded by lfs.exe, so you can see it on other cars, but jpgx cannot by used in skins dir (only in skins_x), so you cant use it.
(excuse for my english)

Quote from tristancliffe :

However, some of the settings in both F11 and F12 should have reduced ranges. In fact I really hope the next patch seriously restricts some of the settings on some of the cars. Having 4 possible diff types in a Formula 3000 isn't going to happen in real life. Same with the gear ratio's being reduced in resolution.

I can even imagine for example open diff only, fixed gearbox etc for UF1, there is no reason why this car should have milions of setup options, other cars gear ratios should be based on gear tooth ratios, ...

Is there chance to get race stat if raceID is known? I didnt find anything in get_stat2_1.2.txt
XML would be great with as much info as possible

Quote from mrodgers :

Or can you submit a replay of 2 or 3 laps and it would take the fastest one? I don't know that since I've never hotlapped.

Yes you can, even with nonHLVC laps, only HLVC valid fastest lap is counted

EDIT: Voting for prewarmed tyres and starting from the pits too.

I dont like virtual mirrors and other huds, but what about many times suggested ability to set left & right view angle? Today, 90deg is totally useless for me, i cant see mirrors and situation before me.

Yes, twisty track for slower cars but wider than FernBay.. Dunno why there is GrandTour, the same track as GP, I hoped of track like in attachment.
Edit: added version2, a little more work for Eric, but imo better, hard braking in yellow sections

THX, looks great.. Any chance to keep all this (semi)official addons in one place (zip) for people who dont read forums (lfs.net / Additional downloads)?

Great program, I'd like T version too.

Quote from Tweaker :

Tell me please, because I see no benefits other than quality, while at the same time it makes a lot more sacrifices in return.

Yes, main benefit is quality. Why I have powerful PC, nice graphics in game, making hi-res skins and in the end, I see 19 ugly cars + 1 mine?
What about replays, screenshots a videos? Its part of promotion and nobody wants ugly smudged game graphics in 2006. Ive 256MB videocard and 40MB used, why?
And no sacrifices in return if download wont be allowed during race and if 512x512 default option be there for slower machines.

Quote from Tweaker :

If the 1024 skins were uncompressed and allowed on LFSW, that would mean we would have 400 to 500 kb sized skins to download, and we all know what happens when people start downloading large chunks of files online when playing in servers.... LAG.

Very easy solution.. allow upload skins upto 300kB (for example) AND do autodownload only if race/quali not in progress => who cares about lag in garage?

Please allow 1024 skin donwload!

Quote from Kajojek(PL) :

+1 But is it really that important?

Yes, its very important for me. I dont like driving with HUD, with names upon cars etc.. It spoils impression of reality. I vote for single onboard computers showing lap and times too.

Or if you know someone with mobile (GPRS/EDGE) or external Wifi connection, ask him, its minute to make dialup connection thru mobile at your place.

Maybe better to wait a few days what times FZ50 and RAC can do with new physics and then decide what tracks.. Or allow FZ50 or RAC only.

What about
Kyoto Ring Oval -> KY Nat or Long, coz dunno if ballast will work
AS Nat -> AS North
?

Quote from Madman_CZ :

anyway let me know what you think, i didnt really know how to finish off the top of the sidepods...

Very nice, post this to forum.liveforspeed.cz, section soubory / skiny, suggestions for nations cup skins are welcomed.

1-3 ok, but there are more impotrant things for PRO mode than annoying repair rules (4-..). Just make repair times longer (more real) and let choose driver (F12) what kind of damage repair and what not.
I want to
- disable TAB when driving! (should be allowed only in spectate mode or between sessions)
- disable F9 and F10 for other cars than yours
etc ...

EDIT: 2Vain @ public race
if Im noob and want to practicing, Ill not join PRO server! this is for people who want clean (like league) races but without wainting 2 weeks for their next league
