Quote from turbofan :i dont use discord, and wont ever

No one is asking you to

Quote : - this thread should not be there, there is always a user to scream after being banned, most times because he believes JaR is a business, or that he paid for it when buying LFS, or that admin are paid by Scawen or state sponsorised, anyway he believe he is owed something... and that is a schizophrenic trait : those people live in a weird, fantasmagoric world

Then hereby I request it to be closed.

I agree there are people like what you've described, perhaps there should be a statement in the ToS that states something like: "Purchasing an license only authorises the content provided by the developer and public mods implemented into the game. Regardless of your account status, you may be kicked/banned by multiplayer server moderation, as multiplayer play is not linked to the developers in any way or form except the use of the game software which enables multiplayer to exist. These kicks/bans cannot be protestable unless the server owner/moderation team says so"

That's about it, maybe someone can "legalise" this text a bit more, and maybe make it be more clear, just a random thing I just thought about.

Another thing that could be done is to improve the LFS Manual, or maybe sticky a thread on the forum here. To make it clear what LFS "error messages" mean. I've had many, many people ask me what does JOOS, OOS, Host Refused Connection etc. mean. A thread that has these definitions would be rather helpful.

As for your server specifically, perhaps you could use InSim or something of the likes to inform the people about how long their bans will last/if they're permament, and also why they're banned. I see many people asking "How long am I banned for", "Why am I banned" etc. A simple message that says "You're banned for x days for y reason" shouldn't be that hard to program, no?

Quote from Bruhmomento :The only way you can get unbanned is from here. Thats why, the discord server's...

That's a bit dumb imo. This forum should, as the name says, be used for general LFS discussion, not to beg for an unban on some server. Why not just have a dedicated part of a discord server to be used for unbans, like other servers do? LCS, TC and many others have their unban sections on their discord servers.

Making a discord account is free and takes like 5 minutes, not to mention 99% of people already most probably have it.

Quote from versiu :-racing game...

Exactly my point, Live for Speed has potential to evolve, to become something different. LFS is made as a racing simulator, but at one point, it might transcend into an absolute driving simulator, where all things vehicle related could be possible. All that is in a distant future, one has to dream..

I'm surprised to see that people here don't even know the definition of the word racecar Face -> palm
pretty surprising to see in a forum for a racing game.

A racecar is "A vehicle which is used competitively in wheel-to-wheel racing events."

Quote from cuni :Here, a bit more fuel for the fire...

S2 to S3 gap was 10 years, so, by my immense brainpower and calculations, I predict S4(with new graphic and physics) comes in 2025, 10 years after S3. Big Brein Did I Say That?

It's happening on Server 1 as well, I'm there with another player

Quote from Scawen :OK now you have provided some information.

It's probably the 49.7 day bug.

I've contacted the server owner, no response yet, but other more regular players are saying that the server restarts daily, so it might not be the 49.7 day bug, unsure yet. I'll update when owner replies

Quote from Yisc[NL :;2085945"]Valve? That's a completely diffent company that has not got anything to do with...

I know, it's an old meme, just messing around with that one..

Quote :
Probably would've been useful to mention which server you're talking about...

i tried joining a couple of random servers and it works fine

LCS Cruise Server, but players are being affected, since even though they left LCS, they're still "online" on LCS, and can't join other servers, which is an issue
[LCS hosts needed restart due to known issue]

Quote from HooHee :I suggest that to easily edit textures such as of tires,suits,tarmac etc rather than having to go into files and change everything separately,we can have a texture pack with all textures inside of it and we can apply it from setting in-game to change look. Thoughts?

I don't think this'd be needed, since there is an official graphics update coming(one day). Other than that, why'd you even want to change the current game's textures, I think they look fairly okay and their performance is exceptional.

To add onto this, I don't understand why people want high fidelity graphics in a racing simulator, where the driving should be the absolute upmost focus, not visual fidelity. Forza Motorsport is one example of what not to do with a "racing" game.

Quote from Scawen :

On the other hand, if you like a game done the way we do it, you can wait a bit, have a little patience and enjoy the outcome.

I've always wondered why not expand the development team, even by just 1 person, it'd surely make the workflow more efficient.
I understand that funding might be an issue, but I think it'd be worth the investment. You yourself mentioned that you haven't yet touched the tyre physics because of the mod-related issues. Why not hire a person, even temporarily, to work on issues like the mod system, while you focus your work on the tyre physics or something more major like that?

Quote :
Hi, simple suggestion

have separate button control rate for clutch, brake and accelerator, this can really help mouse and keyboard users
thank you Smile

This would be amazing! I also wanted to suggest this a few weeks ago but totally forgot. It's been really difficult finding a good BCR setting for nice throttle input for acceleration and braking for preventing lockups, my sweet spot for now is 3.99.

Quote :
Yeah!
Would be even better to have button control rate option below 2.00
from value 0.01 to 10.00

Also a good one!

Quote from farcar :I love that LFS is both a hardcore track racing sim and an open world sandbox where you can create your own layout and make your own fun.

I often wonder how large a world the engine would be capable of handling?

Imagine a huge 'LFS island' with all the race tracks spread out, and roads interlinking them, so you could take the country roads from Westhill to South City Smile

That'd be a cool idea, 99.9% chance it won't ever happen but still, a dream is a dream. Reminds me of Need For Speed World with the multiple connected cities from previous NFS games Tongue
