Are you sure you haven't acquired some dodgy modified copy of LFS?

scamps - From where did you download LFS?

If it was from an unoffcial site, it might be wise to log in to www.lfs.net and make sure you change your GAMEpass and WEBpass...

In the LFS Entry screen (http://upload.lfsmanual.net/images/d/d0/Main.jpg) instead of "unlock live for speed S2", does it say S2 license: scamps?

The server might have been S2 if all the cars were unlocked (and not just the S1 cars) or another parameter which might have made it S2, even though the track was SO.

From what I hear, cargame.nl S1 (and S2) server are pretty much the only highly populated public racing servers these days. There might be other servers, but they might not be as populated as cargame.nl...

The XFG(XFR?) and XRG might the only two you could drive at first, because it operates on ranking system. Since you don't have much online experience in licensed servers, you will have to start off with these two cars and work your way up the ranks to be able to access other cars... This is a third party restriction put in place by the server owner and NOT something from LFS itself.

I do understand that it is quite dishartening not to find any active servers, but you can try your luck at cargame.nl and work through the ranks... You might be able to learn the S1 tracks using the slow(er) cars, finish races to get points and move up the ranks...

Quote from Cirozel :

Amazed that that there are no S1 servers

Hi, there - congrats on your purchase. Yeah, there are quite few active S1 servers these days compared to S2 servers (which aren't as active as they used to, either).

However, there should be some servers during peak hours. At least Cargame.nl S1 server should be up with a number of active drivers...

Make sure that you've not enabled any filters on the host page (which might somehow filter out populated S1 servers).

Quote :

is it possible for S1 players to race in S2 servers if the car/track combo allows it?

As far as I am aware, LFS is built in a such a way that if, on a S2 server, the host configuration is set to match S1 limitation, it WILL work as a S1 server. Therefore, you would be able to join in if a server is setup in a simialr way (S1 cars, tracks etc.).

Hi, have you tried the suggestion made in post #2?

Anyway, have you tried the age-old trick to turn the wheel from lock to lock (turn fully to the left and then fully to the right)? That usually fixes basic issues...

Report back - there might be other stuff you could try out...

Get in THE LINE!

That line is closed for now...

Quote from Ikskast :

But yeah.. it said i must be from around year 2005, im from 2011 [...]

It doesn't say you need to be here from 2005 - just that you are currently active. But nevermind anyway; its come to a close after 10 licenses.

Quote from Might :

But i disagree on one thing, if you are on public roads, you are never alone on the road. So just by not taking anyone with you, it doesn't mean you will only be risking your own life. These days there is traffic everywhere, pedestrians, cars you name it.

Can't agree with you more.

Sadly people will push and push beyond what could be considered safe on public roads... they might not value their own, but might end up hurting innocent lives.

Quote from KingKwentyne :

I got the profiler and adjusted the settings to 900 degrees already and it still isnt 900degrees in game

Hi, there are two places in the profiler to set maximum rotation. Make sure that both are set to 900. I cant recall the exact places, but one should be under specific game settings and the other under global game settings (or something that sounds like that).

Well, I assume he's always been around. Him deleting reported stuff was only made apparent after the deleted posts were made visible...

But yeah, I too would like to hear from Eric. Although I wouldn't expect anything until they're ready for a formal annoucement...

Quote from The Very End :

Update.

Nope! :slap:

Great stuff! Thanks for doing all this.

Quote from Inouva :

We should report each reply he make on those threads.

Why would you want to abuse the report system? The moderators (incl. devs) are pretty active on the forum and can't have surely missed the said user's many many threads and would have banned if there was a reason to do so.

Report a post if it breaches the stated agreement, but dont go reporting (or encouraging) other to report all his (or her) posts.

Yes, a lot of us are bored here and feeding the occational troll might be fun - but now it is just annoying. Just quit replying to those threads/posts...

I completely agree with the thread title.

Quote from mp5cod :

hello, just got myself s1

Hello and welcome to LFS!

Hope you have fun! Have a look in the LFS Manual and the forum sub-sections to find loads of stuff!

Quote from CheerioDM :

Why can't I send you a PM?

Dont you dare send him a S2 voucher!

What happened to 2) by the way? 3-1-3 some hidden message?

No hidden messages. The relevant points have been quoted from the LFS Forum's Privacy Statement / Disclaimer / Agreement (http://www.lfsforum.net/privacy.htm)

And a lot of folk seem to miss the following too...

Please be aware that people of any age and from many different cultures visit this forum and post their opinions. Also not everyone is equally fluent in the English language which is used on this forum. It can therefore happen that messages may be misunderstood, depending on how you read them. Keep in mind that people usually mean well, so when in doubt, give people the benefit of the doubt and see their post in a positive manner. Doing so will make our forum a nice place to freely discuss anything you want (fully or remotely related to sim-racing), without the need for moderators to intervene.

Shipping costs gonna be a killer unless you find someone from down under! Have you looked at ebay.com.au, local simracing forums and pc shops? You might not get it for free, but at least you could save a fortune on shipping.

Most of the older stuff is archieved. [Some] of the older versions of LFS can still be played and would require these now obsolete stuff.

When you find and download stuff from this forum, www.lfs.net or third party websites (not-recommended) you just have to check if they are compatible with the the current version of LFS.

Hopefully the issue with car setups is now resolved. Have fun!

Quote from xtraction :

this is bs. no prizes.

Huh? Care to explain what you meant?

Hi there Have a look at the following image;

http://upload.lfsmanual.net/images/4/4a/Singleplayer.jpg

When you get the above screen click on "garage" or hit shift+P (P for pits).

Sames goes when you are driving on track; you can shift+p to get to the garage screen.

(The garage area/pit being: http://upload.lfsmanual.net/images/d/d2/Garage.jpg)

Also, make sure that you have a look through LFS Manual. Loads of stuff there - http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Main_Page
