I've got one with 14k laptimes on PiranMOTOStreetRacing , too 
Scawen said it isn't easily remedied. Anyway...
I had an idea for an interim solution, but my InSim tinkering diary is too full at the moment. I thought I'd write the gist here in case anyone with time thinks it's worth a try
More importantly, every player could choose their one mod from the master list, however unpopular, and it would 'just appear' in the mod-list whenever they joined the server. (and the choices of players who have left would be flushed then too).
The only drawback I can see is if player 2 starts using player 1's nominated mod, and then player 1 leaves and player 3 joins - that might cause some hassle for player 2

- Keep a master list of allowed mods (weighted according to preference)
- Keep an account-based list of nominated mods
- list the nominated mod of every connected player
- fill the list to 120 from the master list
- set list by MAL

Awesome, thanks 
I can't promise it'll be soon (lots to do and little time to do it), but they will definitely be skinable eventually. I won't stop till they are

"Max down" is double the motion range of the first default setup, IIRC from tinkering. You can set a different value in other default sets, but when the user makes their own setup, the motion range is based on the first set.
IE, if your first set is a low-rider but your second set is really high, when someone has the 2nd set selected and clicks 'new setup', the user setup it makes will be the values from the 2nd set apart from the motion range, which will be calculated from the 1st set. (Again, only IIRC! It's been a while.)
Someone, somewhere, suggested using the first setup as a base to define that motion range. I haven't got to using that method yet myself, but it seems like a good idea.

It's worth mentioning that the basic function of white/black -listing mods can also be performed, without any limit, with a relatively simple InSim. (I'll knock one up with PIE if anyone wants it?)
It wouldn't have the nicety of hiding disallowed mods in the in-game list, but the main purpose of stopping certain mods joining the track would be fulfilled.

I'm not against any nationality. Or race/gender/sexuality/whatever. I'm against Putin, and the war. I appreciate that not all Russians support the war, and that the west have played a part in creating this situation.
I don't want to discuss the war any more than that (LFS is where I come to get away from the real world!), but I would like you to know that I consider you guys friends. When I fight you on the track it's for points, not because of your nationality
If I'm slow to notice bad behaviour on PM it's because I'm racing, not because I don't care - don't be shy about bringing it my attention if I haven't seen it.

That one and a couple of similar I have on my to-do list as PIE scripts, just FYI. (Dunno when I'll get to it, as always, but it's on the list!
)The only point being missed here is that Scawen doesn't want LFS infested with stolen IP. Whether or not someone else has found a loophole that may or may not stand up in a court (re-topo/dubious 3rd party/whatever) is moot.
If you have more than one device (or a single thing that shows up as more than one), you need to make sure none are selected: If you select a device, LFS will use only that device and ignore the rest. If you have none selected, it'll use every axis it can find on any device connected.
I'm not sure about a video, but I will make a walk-through with illustrations soon

(I dunno what's going on with my video output, but I'm done tinkering for now... so here's a potato placeholder for the proper vid)
This was my last car, and this feels remarkably familiar. Top job!

That's 2 separate lag-hits, one at the back and then half a second later at the front. One of you was having a low-rate moment, I think.
New wheels are here!
The 300 is updated with smaller rims, more tyre profile, wider track and some suspension and setup tweaks to fit.
The 200 (TBO spec, new wheels & tyres but no change to track) is now submitted for initial review
Both have a few tweaks to the mesh since the last version, but mostly that is still to-do.
Develpment plan for both (simultaneously) will be:
- (Any Fixes)
- Mesh finish/smooth
- Skinable
- More interior detail

I made a suggestion (somewhere here) to allow sets to be sent to/from insim. I'd rather see that to be honest, because it would be more flexible. You could make the system you've described above with it, but you could do lots of other things too. ...and it would probably be less work for Scawen
Nearly there with the new wheels...

My experience is that when it's good it's no worse than before, but there are 'spiky patches' where it gets randomly laggy (ie, no particular person, just everyone gets patches of low-rate or some big spikes). It was more like that at this Friday's event than the previous one, for example, a few people mentioned it.
It's not dissimilar to the start of a DDoS though, so who knows what issues the host is fighting behind the scenes - might be that we're complaining about spikiness when we've actually been spared an outage.

So glad to see this back, I've really missed it! We're putting it straight back in for a DD race this Friday
I would love to see that
I have decided that this needs to be a thing in it's own right rather than just a corner of another server, so now we have PiranMOTODunsfold (with some InSim magic to keep the scoreboards free of second laps - everything there is from a standing start)
