Caution: might not be hilarious, or even funny! You've been warned. :hide:

Whats the exact error message that the people get when they try to connect? It could be a number of things, but usually its to do with you (the host) not forwarding the ports in your router.

The following is copied from another thread (this might not be the solution - depending on the error message that you're getting).

Have you opened the ports for LFS? Any firewalls restricting LFS' communication?

If you have Windows firewall activated or a firewall with the antivirus software, make sure LFS is in the exemption list. Look for the Program Permissions in the Firewall settings. Make sure LFS.exe is in that list.

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

Recheck that the lfs.exe is allowed in the firewall, and you could also add it to the exceptions list. Once you're sure the problem doesn't lie in the firewall, the next thing to look at is your router. Find the port forwarding page, and add ports 63392 and 29339. Both TCP and UDP.

Quote from morpha :

Only the server port, opening 29339 (master server) is not necessary (unless that happens to be the port you're hosting on).
The server port is the one you set in the "Port" field of the "Start new host" screen, 63392 is the default setting.

To do this, go to http://www.portforward.com/. Find your router make/model. On the next page, there is a link on the top right corner "Click here to skip this advertisemet advertisement...", click it. Find the Live For Speed Server on the next page. The resulting page got a guide on how to port-forward on your specific router.

Port Forwarding / Home Routers

There are quite a lot of home routers out there, so giving a guide for them all would be quite difficult. Heres one for DD-WRT (I run a linksys WRT54G).
Open a browser window, and goto your router's IP address. In most situations you'll find this is your default gateway. You can find this by going to Start > Run, typing "cmd", clicking ok, and then typing "ipconfig" and pressing enter.
Click "Applications & Gaming"
Click "Port Forwarding"
Click Add
The following settings should be enough: Application = LFS, Port From = 63392, Protocol = Both, IP Address = Your Local IP Address (can be found from ipconfig, as above), Port to = 63392, and tick Enable.
Click "Save Settings"

Check out PortForward.com for a guide for your router.

How do I even sign up for these things?

This thread is specifically about the LX series by Realistic NASCAR. Sign up info can be found >here<.

LFS got an in-built scripting system. Have a look here: http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Script_Guide

I've not used it myself, but from what I can see there you can adjust the wheel rotation too.

Quote from Scawen :

Arabic is quite a difficult one to support because the text needs to go in the reverse direction, so it's not just a case of adding the Arabic alphabet. A lot needs to be done with the text formatting and the way the characters are drawn on the screen. I haven't researched how the input method works and how you combine Latin text and Arabic text in one string, and how the direction of the text changes in one ascii string... it sounds quite confusing. Anyway, I'm interested in it but I really can't estimate when we can support Arabic.

Quote from Scawen :

[...]Anyway Arabic in LFS is not forgotten - I'm interested in supporting the right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew, after studying them at some point but I think it will still be a long time before these become a priority... as you know the Scirocco is the main priority at the moment [...]

LFS is quite picturesque going by the original screenshots...
Nice edits guys!

Hi, its found in Airio.srv

Have look at "_config" text file for some tips!

[...] recently I've been continuing with the tyre model. Specifically I've been improving the non-real-time tyre carcass model so it can correctly predict the stiffness in various directions and contact patch width / length for a given deflection at various camber amounts and pressures, for all different tyre sizes. It's a long time I've been on that, I know, but the gradual improvements in that will make the real-time model much closer to reality, so I think it's the right thing to do.

The server probably has vote ban (I've not tried it myself), which allows people who connect to server to vote-to-ban.

So a couple of guys can just sit on a host and start banning anyone who joins... you know, for fun.

Simply find another server. The vote ban only lasts 12 hours, so you'll be able to connect to it later (assuming it was a vote ban).

When your post count is higher than your total lap count its time to hit the track again.

Words can't even...

Quote from Scawen :

I have never suggested or supported putting a Diesel in LFS and I'll say that now before some crazy rumours start.

:weeping:

I was kidding.

But Scavier could troll us all by releasing the TDi after all this waiting.

Thanks!

PS: Uploaded to the forum as a .zip file so it can be downloaded when the megaupload link fails.

Its gonna be the TDi.

hehe

How often does one see the "Host is full" message these days anyway?

Hi , adding you and your team to LFSworld is only for info/stats purposes. The addition is not linked with the sim (as far as I know).

You simiply need to make a new driver name (or rename the existing one).

Go to LFS's Options > Driver > Driver Name:
Say for example the existing one is Kaktus. Just click on it and you can rename it. If you want to make a new driver name, just click on new.

Type in [SIMD] Kaktus (or whatever that you like). You can get colours by pressing CTRL (and clicking to select the colour before you type). Or You can simply press CTRL+1, CTRL+2 etc. to directly select the colour.

Hope that helped.

PS: When I said that LFSWorld team registration is not linked, I meant that I could rename myself to [SIMD] Silver and race online without any issue. It sort of registers your team on LFSWorld, but it wont prohibit others from using the tag...

Thanks. Although just pulling out the USB when I'm done fo the day is easier.

17. Ouch. Get in touch with those who signed up for this and check if there are any major issues with attending? Day/time? Any other events running this weekend and taking up their time? Shame, expected the LXWC to be a hit...

Hallelujah!

:bowdown:

Works fine for me!

No crashes, can set the desired rpm for each car easily, and works online.

The ffb is a bit odd when you join track - a quick lock to lock turn and its all good (not sure if its related to the program, but I usually dont have to do it).

The LEDs are on even when LFS is closed. No biggie, but I thought I mention it.

Many thanks for this, much appreciated!

No worries; have fun!

1st one (No FFB)
Works fine, but hangs on alt+tab or if LFS loose focus (didn't check if it hangs on exit).

2nd one
Works fine, with ffb(!), but again hangs on alt+tab (or if LFS looses focus). Does NOT hang on exit.

Grats on getting it to work!

Edit: Nothing beeped this time!
