In LTC you have to drive to a specific location on track to pay to reduce the intake restriction/added mass, yes. But the player has to shift+p to manually make the changes [to reduce the intake restriction/added mass] in the car's setup in order for the reduction to take effect...

I like the DRS/KERS concept that you're planning, but I don't see a way to get it working.

Ok, didn't know that.

PS: Which cruise InSim (which server)?

Not possible to add/remove restrictions whilst you are on track. LFS won't let you do that; ou either have the intake restriction (to reduce the power by 80 bhp) or you don't.

You can only adjust it in pits. You have to shift+p to make any changes (can't even change restrictions from a pitstop...), I'm afraid.

There's this if you want to learn: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=62719

There are some replays included...

Hey guys, welcome to LFS!

Had a look at localised LFS websites? (i.e. Costa Rican, Polish, Lithuanian communal sites...) If not, have a look here for a link to one.

Wave back if you see me in one of the Blackwood GP XFG/XRG servers!

Quote from rockclan :

How to reproduce:

Setup a server with the following:
S2
Wind to 1 or 2
Weather type to 3

Surely a lot of servers are using/have been using those settings on and off for years without any trouble? Isn't this error something to do with the autocross layout? Was a layout used when the other driver joined in and got the MPSYS error?

This has been reported a few times here: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=36117

Also:

Quote from morpha :

A temporary solution is to let an InSim app do

Quote :

/axsave temp
/axclear

when the last person leaves the server and

Quote :

/axload temp

once someone joined, but obviously only once.

So far I've only encountered this bug with layouts having objects outside the track boundaries, on the Skidpad on AU1 for example.

Hi,
In Options > Controls > Wheel Turn [degrees], the degree value should be set by yourself (its not automatically detected).

So first you need to find out the wheel rotation degree and enter the value there (for example, the Logitech G25/27 has 900 degrees and if you want to use the full range you type in 900 - if not you type in the req'd wheel rotation; 450 for me).

Have you looked at the LFS Manual on how to set up a wheel? Please go through it and see if it helps: http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Options#Wheel.2FJoystick

For that bit about parallel steer - don't confuse that with setting up the wheel. Parallel steer is to do with setting up the car's steering settings.

Practise server up; set to B11 (Blackwood Historic - without the T2/3 chicane).

Server currently set to 15 min Quali + 3 Lap race(s). Let me know if anything needs to be changed or if you've got any improvement suggestions.

Server name: STAL B11 TBO

Love the theme!

Sarker -

Quote from CrAbStEr DrIfTeR :

But thats rallying. Not hill climb

Can't it be taken as the [rally-prepared] car doing a [hill-climb] run through that particular stage?

Same would apply to Sarker's; it might be a rally, but IMO, it could be considered as a hill climb too. Or not?

i.e. take this example; if you replace that car with Sarker's RB4 - it's still a hill-climb, but it might be assumed to be part of a rally stage from that pic alone...

I can't wait to see more entries...

How cool is this!? :hyper:

No, you can't browse and download other's skins.

You can download other's skin if you know the exact file name of the skin. When you try to upload a skin but LFSW states that the skin in use, it shows the skin asking if its the same skin; you can right click and save it for your own use. But that's not the best way to get skins (plus, they might be private skins); browse/search the the forum (and external sites) for skins that have been posted for public use.

Cant read logo's on the rear panels - the links don't work anymore (and couldn't find more pics on the car - didn't check much). Might be updated later, but heres a WIP for now... Hope you like it.

PS: Get your name into the hotlap charts with XFG/BL1!

Edit: Edited the skin. Let me know if you need anything changed/added.

Quote from ImudilaSkyline :

Can't download it, could you reupload it and include the set with it?

There a layout uploaded by someone else halfway through the thread (not sure if that's the one). Anyway, that and more here: http://www.topgearbox.com/lfs/

Hi, some of these were made a few years back. You can find links to specific threads from this layout-database thread: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=8939

Sadly, the new patch seemed to have changed the dimensions of some autocross objects and some layouts cannot be driven in there anymore (ramps mis aligned etc.).

Be sure you have a look at the few of the layouts for inspiration. Looking forward to the pack!

Don't you mean this? http://i.pixs.ru/storage/8/6/3 ... 00St_2456973_2385863.jpg? (Which is the picture every one edited...)

When you says example picture, it means stuff like

Which is pointless in the voting thread.

Anyway, andRo. is nice enough to do all this (would you bother making the voting threads every few weeks. i.e. adding the names, [img] tagging the previews, linking the hi-res images etc.?) The least you can do is find the original if you need to see the reference image (but yes, for this type of theme the "reference image" could be added to the voting thread...). Anyway, thanks andRo - Photomode lives on!

Hi there, can you explain a bit more on what you meant? Are you talking about high powered (or mostly rear wheel drived) cars loosing the back-end and spinning or constantly running off the track or ...?

At first there is a slight learning curve where you just need to familiarize yourself with the controls and how the car reacts to your input, but you should usually get a feel for it pretty soon.

Are you having trouble with a particular car? For example, can you drive the XFG without any issues?

You could also post a replay of your driving (when you're having trouble) and post it here (as a forum post attachment) so someone could have look and tell you if something is not quite right...

Its probably due to being new to it all; should be alright after a few 100 miles *fingers crossed*.

Aw shucks. Hopefully, you'd be able to look back and laugh at it in a few weeks time.

I meant stuff like this...

Until then, anyone who enters my house or even comes near it I will kill them and rape of all items.

As a non-player, this thread is a constant source of giggles. Don't stop playing/commenting...

I have to ask - what happens when you loose all your hearts and die? What do you loose?

Check if you've set your LFS to record replays.

Options > Game > Multiplayer Replay Save > [not enabled - not stored] or [enabled - manual save] or [auto save - not recommended]

If it is set to [not enabled - not stored] it will not (obviously) record the replay; if you hit "2" it would display the message, "The replay was not being recorded".

Also, if you've set it to manual save or auto save BUT already saved a replay once, the replay will not be recorded from that point on. So if you've already saved the replay, but stayed on the server and later tried to save by pressing "2", you will get the message: "the replay was not being recorded".

So; either check your LFS options or check if you've already saved the replay once in that session.

Thanks; guess I need to pay more attention to the news headlines!

And sorry, I didn't want to post in the EU Cruise thread

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

What's so special with it?

Nothing special; simply a personal preference since the time I raced there on Mercedes Benz World Racing.

Quote from The Very End :

A game is a game, the people that belives they can race a race car just from driving a computer game has some serious issues IMO

Can't argue with the serious issue thing, but LFS' got that bit of extra feeling about it; A bit too much to be simply be classes as a regular "game". But yes, at the end of the day you're still sitting behind a screen...

Quote from vistaman :

ffs if u want Nurburgring, go play any other game. rFactor/GTR/GT Legends/GT5.

Been there, done that! We're sticking with LFS - all those titles you mentioned get old after a few weeks (even with all those track and all those cars); but its still thrilling to race a XFG at BL1 even after 1000 odd laps. I don't see it happening, but it would be great to have it in LFS. Personaly, wouldn't you like to drift around there in a XRT?

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

[...]but this would never be any popular for online racing, since you wouldn't be able to go more than one at a time.

Well... we have autocross-servers which have one-person-at-a-time racing (currently Sin'rs (Top Gear)) . Over the last year there were couple of "hill climb" servers (FE, KY, AU4) that were populated. So there is a demand (albeit slight) for this type of track. Then there are the drifters and the cruisers... But then again, as you said, this is not a new suggestion either and have been suggested often...

And from the EU Cruise thread;

Quote from U4IK ST8 :

Slightly OT but:
Not according to this poll

Any idea when this was put up (was it by the devs?)? Was the poll publicised anywhere or any "official" links leading to it? I haven't come across until now and yet close to 1000 people have voted (and it closes in a couple of weeks).

I'd be happy with Hockenheimring (wont say no to Nurburgring though)!

Nice to know someone realises simulators are games.
