I think that cargame.s2 server would be good for you.

Which unfortunetly he won't be able to drive due to min. requirements (i.e. 100 LFSEI, iirc). Thats not true anymore - sorry for the wrong info! (Thanks Ragesh!)

Edit:

Hi Joe, welcome to LFS S2 and the forums!

You might find out that online racing is quite unforgiving for new drivers, depending on the server that you are racing on. First of all make sure that you have a good grasp of the control and can basicially keep the car that you're driving on track. Then build up your pace. If you constantly change cars and tracks you might find it harder - so until you get the hang of things stick to one or two tracks and a few cars.

A while back the demo servers were a good place to start; i.e. you race the GTis or FBM at Blackwood GP - you'll learn the track and to race with other players. Nowadays demo is apparently is not as good, but nevertheless you should give it a try...

If you are completely new (judging by the Nov 2011 join date, you seemed to be), it might be wise to stay off the highly populated servers at first. You'll simply end up getting in other's way. Once you are at a "okay" driving level you can join in race...

Now as a place to start, I'd recommend some of the "demo racing" servers by Air Attack [AA] or Redline Racing. These are good in my experience. There are few others including !AMG, and MRc which might be worth trying out.

The cargame.nl S1 server should be ok IF you know the tracks and can keep the car on track. Although if you are completely new I'd suggest you try out the demo server and have a couple of hundred races before you try out anythere else. Cargame.nl servers are pretty much "the" server to be race roadcars/GTRs at the moment, so dont get banned in there by joining in too early (without much experience) and getting in other's way all the time.

You can try and round up a few guys and hop into one of the vast number of empty servers and have a few races. As always, a good setup helps so have a look in http://setupfield.teaminferno.hu/ and http://www.setupgrid.net/ (setups should be saved in /LFS/data/setups).

Have fun, and hope to see ya on track soon!

I have this problem.

Can you explain in detail? What exactly happen, and are their any errror messages? Can you please take a screenshot(s) and add it here?

LFS EI: From the Airio website (http://stats.airio.eu/EXP.aspx)

Quote :

The LFS Experience Index is a single number representing (or at least trying to represent) driver's abilities. Currently it is calculated by FULL and PROS versions of Airio using only LFS World available data, specifically the table of personal best lap times and laps, the table of personal online statistics, and the table of personal uploaded hotlaps.

i.e. http://stats.airio.eu/EXD.aspx?U=Hyperactive

Quote :

Most of the above fields should be self-explaining. The three Podium numbers show wins, 2nds and 3rds, while Races are simply races finished. Online and Hotlap PBs show the count of recorded best lap times falling into five ranges related to current WR: Within 0.5% (left number), up to 1%, up to 2% (middle number), up to 3% and not worse than 4% (right number). Using these data it should be obvious why someone has higher/lower index than yourself and in what ways the index may be improved.

Hello and welcome!

You can check you LFSWorld stats on http://www.lfsworld.net/?win=stats&racer=Schumarker or clicking the small icon below your username/number of posts on the left.

The reputation that you mentioned is quite likely the LFSEI, Live For Speed Experience Index which is calculated by Airio (a third party application) based on a number of stats from your races/uploaded hotlaps.

Ideally you would find your own LFSEI info here: http://stats.airio.eu/EXD.aspx?U=Schumarker. But if I recall correctly, if the Index is less than 100 points (i.e. for a new racer) it would not be stored. You will [hopefully] see it once you get more than 100 points.

You can see how it is scored by checking out another driver, in this case the one with the highest LFSEI: http://stats.airio.eu/EXD.aspx?U=fm-failure.

In-game you can type
(on some Airio-powered servers) to see the LFSEI info of the people connected at the time (incl. yourself).

Most of the players are alright and generally helpful; but there are some bad ones out there - so be prepared for a bit of swearing, crashing and general bad atitude aimed at yourself. Don't let it get to you - just drive your best.

See you on track!

Just checking: when you say checking in-game do you mean as in LFS.exe or the CMX Viewer?

Whilst the CMX Viewer (can be downloaded from: http://www.lfs.net/?page=addons) haven't got what you've suggested it does make skinning a bit easier compared to previewing the skin in-game.

And there are skinning templates, wireframes (Master Skinnerz Pro-Kits) and all sorts of community-made stuff to make skinning a bit easier (whilst you wait for your suggestion to be implemented...).

Nice one!

Quote from -SoulRaven- :

That's awesome!

Hardly! It was a 5 min job of filling in the areas with the red colour and editing in the flames!

All the same glad you like it - let me know if you need to update it later (add more colours, change style, add stickers, name & flag etc.) and I'll see what I can do.

Uploaded to LFSWorld so you can use it online. Have fun!

Hello, it is already uploaded, "XFG_ALMRALLY.RU".

Attached is a hi-res version if you are interested.

Congrats!

Quote from de Souza :

Weird, it's showing the Korea results for me.

Same, but with the new team setup.

I dont think this is the case, but make sure that the pedals are set as "seperate" in throttle/brake axes (in options > controls).

As shown in this image (the same one I linked earlier) http://upload.lfsmanual.net/im ... b/HowToAssignAxis_Ani.gif does any of the yellow sliders move when you press the gas?

If a slider does move you just have to assign that axis in LFS.

If it does not move have a look at the Logitech Profiler's, Device > Game Controllers > Logitech G25 Racing Wheel USB > Properties

When you press the gas does the green slider move appropirately? If it doesn't move have a go at reinstalling the profiler (remove the profiler from the add/remove programs in windows control panel, run the setup - make sure you dont plug in the USB until you are asked to. Follow all the steps including calibration).

Good luck...

Quote from anttt69 :

LFS is an online racing simulator. It works best when you race against other human beings. If you wanna race AI go play with your console.

Can we try and not chase away those who are genuinely interested in the sim? He/she is trying to be a good driver before trying online racing (and getting in the way of others...).

Although it might be too late for that...

Until Impreza09 makes it I did a quickie. (Yes, I just copy/pasted from the linked preview)

Quote from TrackCarFan :

I'll need to download a Logitech profiler

No worries

You can download the profiler from the logitech website: http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/ ... loads&bit=&osid=1

Simply select your operating system.

Don't just stick to time attacks - jump on to one of the public servers once in a while; thats where the fun is! See ya on track!

Oh for the love of Photomode competitions everyone have a go at an edit!

Quote from TrackCarFan :

Hello!

Hello and welcome!

As for the issue with the steering you might have to change the settings in the logitech profiler; if the wheel rotation is set to 90 degrees any changed made in LFS wont go beyond 90.

Some info to get the best feel out of Logitech wheels can be found in the LFS Manual: http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/W ... tting_up_a_Logitech_Wheel

If you are having trouble setting up the controller in general - its worth having a look here: http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Options#Setting_up_the_wheel

As a S2 licensed driver you can race in demo, S1 and S2 servers, no problem in that.

Edit: A number of people do have trouble setting up the axes correctly the first time. Have a look the two above links and then follow the animation below to setup the axes.

You might get better luck if you make a post in the LFSF' RBR thread; http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=6032

Good luck!

If you want me to make any changes just let me know.

Oh dear.
