Who could go back after "the best physics I’ve ever played"? Not me 
You don't have to make a DDS - LFS does that for you.
All you need to do is save your skin as a JPG in the data/skins folder

I've now allowed all cars and mods on this server
Did you get this working? Are there any mods out that have these lights in place? I would love to see it in action.

InSim to check OutGauge and OutSim ports on initialisation
Just a tiny one: Could InSim initialisation include a check and fail if the port number given is already defined as the OutGauge or OutSim port?
Because InSim is defined by command and the others by config, I think it can cause confusion for those who aren't familiar with all three... but that includes a lot of people, once you account for 3rd party apps that use them.
In the discord chat behind this thread, it was quite a while before we could put all the clues together, but "requested InSim port already in use" could be enough of a steer to be useful.

Couple of notes for others in the same situation:
OutSim and OutGauge ports are configured in the cfg.txt file, and if they are enabled they send packets whenever you are on track to any program listening to the port you have set.
InSim is started with a command, but InSim requires a handshake to establish the connection. The problem here was that the OutGauge was set to the same port as the InSim - the spam was from InSim receiving a packet from the OutGauge, and complaining that it wasn't the expected handshake packet.
The solution was to make sure that OutSim, OutGauge and InSim all use different port numbers - OutSim and OutGauge in the cfg.txt file, and InSim via command.
One other note: when altering cfg.txt, LFS must be closed. LFS rewrites the file with the current values when it closes, so any editing you do with LFS open will be undone when you restart LFS.

If I use a VPN, my host InSims can't connect to my servers... not an option here 
Ahhh, close, this was 8th Aug
I've thought before it would be nice to have the website one work for mods and mod skins - from there it could be expanded to give us an image of an uploaded skin on a mod, API-like.
A stream could have an illustration of the car and skin onscreen the instant a car joins, with no prep work at all - just from data in the NPL & and a URL.
Obviously there are higher priorities, but maybe one day

Is August recent enough to be the new version? We ran it then, replays attached. They're not exactly standard races, but there is some drafting data in there amongst the chaos

New Server: PiranMOTOInfiniteHotlap
**Infinite Hotlap** is now open for **beta testing**
One for the hotlappers... I hereby challenge you to run
out of combos to hotlap
There are 164 checkpoints scattered around the layout,
and any loop of 2 or more sectors is a track. Just drive
it and it'll be tracked from there on.
Drive on the left, try not to crash...
(ADHD friendly! Bored halfway through a lap? tagged the apex
of the last corner and ruined the next lap too? Don't ragequit,
just divert to another track and you're already recording
sectors... no delay )
Server: PiranMOTOInfiniteHotlap
Website: piranmoto.uk/infinitehotlap
commands:
;tp - teleport to a random start position
;flip - puts your vehicle right-side-up without repair
;turn - turn your vehicle to the side
;clip [notes] - records a marker at piranmoto.uk/cliplog
;reset - resets your current checkpoint list (if you want
a specific checkpoint to be your startline, use
this commend before you cross it when driving the
track for the first time)

These are rare enough (comparatively) for feedback to be more useful, I think. I generally check I didn't typo with a parameter-less call after a change, so it'd halve my typing
