ok! now that we know that it's only a language problem, not noob related at all, let me kindly point you in this direction: http://www.lfsfrance.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=71

Quote from Mazz4200 :

...Something like a bit of LFS gossip from the forum...

That was also my first thought when I read about the newsletter idea.

People who are 'crawling' the forums a lot anyway could point out some threads/post that are worth reading for others as well.

imho there would be several options:

1. reading over the answers already given in the other thread...

2. opening MORE threads with the same questions but with more shouting.

3. trying another racing simulation, like this http://i148.photobucket.com/al ... %20Kids/96029-baby-11.jpg

Quote from bbman :

1. Give your setup proper names. Of course as5_genal_045648 won't make much sense...

That wouldn't make sense because you only have 15 letters to name your setups...

Quote from bbman :

2. If you have to insist on this frankly dumb naming system[...]

Have you ever uploaded a single hotlap? Obviuosly not, because then you would have seen what a 'frankly dumb naming' system LFS is using.

Doesn't work for me. I probably only have 5 online pb's in total so that's not working.

I chose 'hotlapping' and when I'm in the garage I type 't' and then '/w pb' and nothing is shown in the chat history, '/w wr' doesn't work either in the garage preparing a hotlap...

(and my PC has internet access 24|7)

edit: maybe I haven't made clear enough what I mean. It's just, I'm spending roughly 99,8423% of my time in LFS hotlapping, so all online ingame solutions won't work for me. It's just that I don't see the need of learning all track2trackcode combinations by heart to avoid the 'go back and check again for the 3-letter trackcode to be able to select the appropriate setup procedure' when it could be solved by showing the 3-letter trackcode in the garage - Scawen Sir, please... (do you hear me?)

understand me now?

But all these commands wouldn't help you in the garage setting up for a hotlap...

The only (simple) solution would be to add the '3 letter track code' to the garage info.

mmmh, another thing would be nice: a special hotlap-setup slot for each car/track to be loaded automatically when in hotlapping mode...

Nice idea, but an old one..

have a look at the date of the first post in this thread and the one you we're linking to as the older one...

First off - thanks for the Z patch! I always love to get updates for a game I bought 5 years ago.
(so much for what I've followed reading in the forums recently)

Well, although! There is something that's bothering me for years now and has cost me so many clicks... eerrrm.... just watch the video I've made,
I hope you'll get the point. (1.5MB)

It's great to see this CAD working (community aided development)

Keep up the good work!

...sorry for interfering, but I'm following this thread and I've run tests also to get this bug...
Sir moi 407: could you please post a screenshot of the race's config?

That would wipe away any language problems....

edit: I guess it's somehow a normal behaviour of LFS because the AI's are not allowed to pit in the first lap...?

Quote from Samiad :

...So there is no way to view all the old replays anymore - it was long winded before, now impossible?...

I am too hoping for some kind of 'replay-viewer' to come, to watch all the old replays with all the old memories in LFS...

Sorry for being OT but this has been bothering me since I first got the 'replay obsolete' message...

I think I will stay with LFS till I die...

Hi Scawen, grats and here's a typo...

Changes in TEST PATCH Y15 :

Reduced stray pixels at edges of textures
Improved the colours of various language flags
Antialiased virtual start lights and steering guage
Translatable lesson names - start text file with @Lesson Name
FIX : Code page error on List of Hosts after changing language

please delete post...

OpenOffice has tonnes more than LFS. If your language hasn't been made, make it

Quote from rediske :

I wonder when LFS first appears in the Guinness Book of Records for the GAME with the most supported languages on this globe...

Hey,

I searched the net but didn't find it. Probably just a registry key...

Does anyone know how to set the auto arrangement from default top-left to top-right corner please?

cheers,

Quote from Shotglass :

...youll run into a whole bunch of horizontal scrollbars with that monitor

not if you use opera... (It uses +/- keys to scale any page)

Quote from Kegetys :

The display is a bit too small for my liking too, and low resolution. Should have bluetooth too...

you can use any wxp-bluetooth-usb-sticks you like!

what's wrong with the resolution?

someone sticky this link please! http://www.esport-racing.com/liga.php?action=stream

as Vykos is doing an outstanding commentary job just now!!!

Quote from harjun :

but its not actually that small...thats the thing, when you see it...trust me, its about as big as an ordinary mouse mat

right!

Hey all,

I was one lucky guy to get an eee-PC, as it was released today here in germany... (for EUR299)

specs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASUS_Eee_PC

The device (which is nice) comes with a xandros linux derivate but asus provides all drivers to run it with xp sp2. I was just wondering if anyone has tried to run LFS on it as it has been released in other countries some time before...

cheers,

AR

Quote from three_jump :

I just wished the stream would have worked on my pc...

I had this problem also with streams on game-tv.com

Bookmark this one for watching programs: mms://213.155.85.156/Game-TV

It seems the most reliable url for me (and other (germans) on #game-tv.com)

cheers!

Thanks for a great racing TV weekend !!! :munching_

...and chapeau to Mika !!!
