Quote from JasonJ :

The ammount of time I've spent coding for our server, (and that's excluding Monks beautiful work) I'd say $1,300 USD is a damn cheap solution. And he knows how to program. Just look,- he has 1,382 references!

Ours is just shy of 10,000 lines of code (1/2 blank) so easy about 5000 lines of code mate and it most of the unique things you've requested.

BTW 90% of the stuff you want is in the free ones.

no, the chase system is very different to any other cruise server. I do not wish to post up details here for obvious reasons

UPDATE: To save costs it is alright for the potential programmer to use a free or already made insim as a base, and then to incorporate our race/chase/courier systems. I am more looking for somebody who wants to program for the team, and then to join the team and help us become a major player in the cruise scene, rather than somebody who just wants to make money.

Quote from The Very End :

I am not going to say it's a bad idea making a new server at any point, but as it is now, there are more cruise servers than needed.
If all the other servers were full I would agree that there was a need for new ones, but atm there are maaaaany cruise servers with low population

I agree that more cruise servers running free insims are a bad idea, but as there are so many, nobody wants to go on them. I stick to the TC servers because they are not just 'another cruise server'. Hopefully all these duplicate servers will go away, and make room for those with innovative new layouts and insims

Quote :

No skill is required to cruise

not true...when you have passed TC cop training and Advanced cop training you can say there is no skill in cruising. I found advanced cop training very challenging. It involves using skill and tactics to stop the chased car. It is just a different kind of skill to racing

The team has come up with many ideas and plans for this cruise server, if we use the free ones this will just become 'another crappy cruise server'. Our ideas are unique and original, that is why i do not wish to post them here. I will be happy to email any potential programmer the details

Hi, i am looking for a programmer to make or sell me a cruise insim.

We need

Requirements
1. Car sales/rentals
2. loosing money for speeding, gain money for going straight
3. Police tracker/distance system
4. Location system/displayed speed limits
5. Insim admins and password admins, (insim admins have limited rights)
6. money sending system
7. Courier missions for money
8. Bank system (explained further on request)
9. Chase/backup system (explained further on request)
10. Street race system (explained further on request)
12. There are more minor details which will be further explained
13. updates to the insim when needed/new patch
14. The insim must be fully working and stable, of course we will test it first

We can offer you:
A negotiable lump sum, paid by paypal
Full entry to the team CSR
Full admin rights on the server
other site privelages

For more information about our team, please visit our forum at www.CSR.phpbb2.se

It is also OK for a free insim to be edited to incorporate our ideas for the chase, courier, and street race systems

Quote from blakehoo88 :

actually i have seen art attack in Canada on a Canadian station

canadian art attack = epic fail

Nice layout piggy, but the question is not how , it is why? xD

Quote from Vinnylegends :

Hi RS1T,
I have made RallyCross tracks for all of the LFS layouts.
But when I had to reset LFS they were lost.
Do you want me to make them for you?
It will take some time though.

thanks a lot for the offer, but i don't want to take up your time

Quote from deiwisxxx :

Hi there
I am making rally cross layouts like in ASTON track
make a layout of Tarmac and grass is that what you want?

Give me your MSN i will give to you

you have PM

There is a 'nos' mod, but it is highly illegal and will get you banned from LFS

LFStweak is the 'legal' version, but that is only open to S2 players

I am hosting a rallycross tournament but i need more tracks. I have seen rallycross tracks for westhill and Aston cadet before, and if anyone has them i would be very grateful. I would also be gratefull if someone could find me some rallycross tracks based on road tracks that still incorporate the standard start/finish line and pit lane so online racing can be used

many thanks, alex

Quote from TurboBlaster :

No, TC is the best server!

CLC and TC are THE best cruise servers, but CLC is more related to doing tasks and jobs whereas TC is more related to Cop Chases and getaways.

On topic: i also have connection problems, but ONLY witht the TC servers....

guys DROP it, i have moved on but some are still intent on flaming thanks

maybe i am wrong to complain, as it is an unfinished product, but even so, the amount of flaming i have recieved is appalling. I take back some of the things that i said, but the i still agree that it was a mistake to announce the car before he was sure it would be perfect.

see you all around

Quote from Zyrez :

Poo.. was just looking forward to this week ending. Oh well.. ofcourse we can wait when its gonna get even better. Good luck devs.

Scawen: Just for the record.. in the future, would you pleeaas only post that kind of annoucements if your 120% sure its gonna happend? Im fully ok with the car being delayed, but i could have waited years if i hadnt put my nose up for getting it within the next few days. Would rather like to hear "scirocco is coming on good, and we exspect it to be ready soon" Soon could be anything.. such specific dates just hurt us, and as you can see and allready knew dissapoint alot of people. Then it would feel better to surprise us with good news that its coming out earlier than we all exspected, rather than dissapointing us when its not

Looking forward to try it.. good luck again

exactly what i said...but i get flamed for it

Quote from SamH :

Meh.. a bit disappointing, but I have a test patch Z5 with some cool shadows to be going on with, so I'm not complaining in the slightest.

I feel bad for Scawen. I can't begin to imagine how it feels to have to announce a delay like this, knowing the excitement that the VW has brought to the community. Respect to him for making the RIGHT decision, to delay the release until it's right.

i respect his decision, but it was a foolish move to even mention the scirocco's release before he was sure it would be perfect

Quote from Lynce :

@Developers. Don't worry. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Don't worry about people are just exercising their "right to protest".

I know i may be annoying people with my protests, but as you said, we all have a right to do it. Back on the point, if licensing a car costs that much money, why doesn't scavier make more 'fakes'?

Quote from chunkyracer :

Please read again the first 2 posts you made in this thread, that I quoted below... And then please explain us what you mean by responding in a grown up way...

In the first post i was very annoyed when i heared the news, the second point was valid....just because there is a 'swear' word in it that doesnt mean the comment isnt 'grown up'

Quote from Gills4life :

And I suppose you feel that all of your posts have been in a grown up manner?

quote me

Quote from rediske :

free speech is totally ok, this is what you were doing:

lol you are funny

i was expressing my opinions, and just because my opinion happens to be a criticism, that does NOT mean i am whining.

contrary to what you all may thing, i am not some ten year old who burst out crying when my life was ruined by evil scawen who didnt release the scirocco

im going away for a month, anyway, so even if it had been released this friday i wouldnt have been able to use it anyway. I am making sensible points here and you people are just slating and flaming my views because you do not agree

Quote from Jakg :

Scawen doesn't pay for licenses (because, as he says - he shouldn't have to pay to give a company advertising), and frankly this is "Scawens Baby" he's left Lionhead and now has absolute freedom to do wtf he wants and develop things his way (i.e. slowly and methodically rather than "release, patch 3 times then move on")Good point, but this will probably come later - it makes sense that if it's going to be put in now that it goes on the VWS first, though...
Wait, what?

(Pro-Tip - Research "Communist")
This is why Scawen etc doesn't post about upcoming stuff that much, which gets him lots of flak. He DOES post, and something goes wrong and he also cops the shit. What else is he supposed to do?






Must admit the release date did seem too good to be true. Oh well - Scavier have had my £84-odd and i'm happy with what i've got back.

finally somebody who talks some sense instead of flaming, even though i do not agree with all your points, at least you respond to mine in a grown up way instead of flaming

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Listen, kid. I'm sure the devs did genuinly mean to release the Scirocco this week. But things go wrong, it's a part of life. I've already said what you've said in previous posts - however, unlike you, I don't make a fuss about it, and actually respect why.

If this forum disgusts you, then click here and enjoy!

Why dont you listen?
I know the reasons i and i respect the fact that things always don't go to plan, but it is rude to raise people's hopes like that, and then to crush them. Like i said in my first post which you evidently didnt read properly, if the car isn't 100% finished and perfect, don't mention the release. I'm not being disrespectful, it is just wrong to do that

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

As Bob Smith has said, there's no such thing as free speech on these forums.

that is why this forum disgusts me...simple

if you dont like my opinions dont read my posts...it is as simple as that. I just feel it is wrong for the devs to get everyones hopes up and then crush them in an instant. If you are not 100% sure the car will work with no probs, then dont mention its release until you are

Quote from rediske :

it's people like GTA_Racer07 or RS1T that piss me off - instead of complaining why don't you just go somewhere else noobs?

I have spent my money on this game, so my opinion is valid. Are you a communist by any chance, or do you just not believe in free speech?

Quote from lovretta :

Well, the car simulated in LFS isn't any sort of Scirocco Cup Car isn't it?
It's ordinary VW Scirocco which anyone can buy, and it doesn't have adjustable suspension.

it would make SENSE for a car in a RACING game to have adjustable features. The FXO RB4 and XRT are all 'imaginary' cars that people can go out and buy, so why arn't there limited setups on them as well
