This is too big for this test patch though...

Is there an updater if I already have the 0.5F so I don't have to download the whole thing?

Just kidding, it's lovely that you are so interactive with the community!

E: anyone made a universal set for racing that's better than the default one?

I would be also interested in this version. It's my dream to be honest :/

Don't get your hopes too high, it's not really all that special. Sure it has quite a bit of power but in that version of LFS the tyre physics are a bit wonky - tyres don't grip the ground at all, very slippery. You just spin the tyres constantly. You can increase the power of LX6 (tweaks) and you'll get a similar result .

I don't have that LFS version anymore unfortunately...

Lucaf you should pin this picture by Gutholz to the OP.

Quote from Scawen :

I'd be interested to know why you don't want to use the test patch. Any problem with it? Now's the time to report it so we make sure the final version doesn't have any issues.

But yeah it's very easy to revert you simply use the R exe. Usually it's recommended that you save the exe before using a test patch but I don't seem to have written that this time.

EDIT: Added a note about that in the first post.

My guess is that an insim wasn't updated for the latest version. For example LFSLazy isn't updated so it gives a message that this LFS version is not supported.

Quote from Scawen :

Maybe the bug will come back.

Let's rather hope that it doesn't come back. Ever.

Thank you for your hard and devoted work, Scawen! Oh those teasers you give us...

Oh you tease!!! Even such small things like this are nice to read, Scawen!

I'm sorry Mishu for that bump, I wasn't expecting you to lose that much speed there.

Quote from Spiiiky :

I don't understand cruisers, I just don't.

It's like playing Counter Strike for the plot.

It's the community - it's fun to just talk with people and on top of that you get a relaxing drive around the track.

Quote from RaZMorocco :

And please no "another one complaining" "the community revives the game" etc etc etc

But what else do you expect us to say? The development team is small so it can't pump out updates that rapidly...

Interesting, for me R3s most of the time are enough (UFR). And as everyone has said - be super smooth with throttle if you have pedals. With mouse you're left with smashing that button at a high rate when mid-corner. Sometimes the surge of oversteer can be helpful

Quote from jh89 :

EDIT: Any questions which pops out, shout it!

So, did i understand it right... you can not have a broken suspension or flat tyre at the finish line, at the end of race? If you dont want any plausible penaltyes ... just strategically thinking ...

I want to add - so clutch mustn't be 100% overheated (full bar) or it mustn't be red (~15% of the bar)? Red clutch is by no mean overheated if it has just gotten red - it might not clamp as aggressive but it won't randomly start slipping...

I'd suggest the CT bar mustn't be above 1/3 or 1/2?

Quote from Kid222 :

Oh btw. nice 3rd place Sobis! You went Sanic fast. Didn't notice until now.

Thanks, though I was horrified by South. In the final laps the distance between us varied around 1-2 seconds, too close for comfort!

Someone needs to do a graphical interpretation of all the replies, should be interesting to see and compare to the actual date! I'd say we should just count 2018 or ignore the year altogether for the graph .

I miss the Norwegian guy, haven't seen him in a while :/...

And as always - reading the small updates is lovely, Scawen!

Fridays should be OK for me, but maybe push it to 19 UTC on Friday?

All days will be pretty busy for me this half-year . I guess Tuesday and Thursday will be OKish. Maybe consider Saturday evening?

Actually Scawen has stated that right now Victor has another job as he isn't doing much right now so if I understand LFS right now supports only 2 of them? I'll try to find a quote.

Bishtop, please don't misunderstand me - I like that you're still so active in LFS and I don't have anything against you . I'm just always trying to rely on direct Scawen quotes and not assumptions. And I do trust him.

E: yeah, those quotes are quite old now so who knows who's correct...

But I did and he stated that this is their main job? Could you find the post where he states otherwise?

Yeah, I didn't like that Bishtop stated that as a fact without any quotes so I just had to find them, I don't like misinformation .

Quote from bishtop :

Its always been a side project for them and never their main project which scawen has stated a few times, still that makes what they have achieved that little more impressive

Wait what do you mean "Its always been a side project for them and never their main project"? I believe Scawen actually said that LFS is actually their main project and it makes them their living. I'll try to search for that post.

EDIT:

Quote from Scawen :

[...] We think we should earn money for the work we do. We work hard to make a game that many people love. If we don't get paid for it, we'll have to stop developing Live for Speed and get another job.

I can't pay you for this job, we are a small team and we don't hire employees. But I'd be grateful if you would pass on the message. Thanks.

Quote from Scawen :

[...]
I do love this job and it is only because of the support of the Live for Speed racers that we have been able to go on so long.
[...]
We are very lucky to be able to work from home and be able to choose our time of work each day. It's really great to be self employed, being creative and making something that people enjoy. I want this to go on and to get done the things that we have planned, even if it takes a long time!

I don't mind at all that our earnings have decreased a lot from what they used to be, some time after S2 was released. That is only to be expected, without expanding the business.
[...]

I'm pretty sure you would find more quotes with this simple search

Hmm... I'd say highly unlikely? Are you sure it's the same account? If you still have the transaction details or the voucher code, tech support should help.

Actually in case of licenses you should always contact tech support, not forums. Tech support in LFS does work and they do resolve problems whenever possible (1st hand experience).

Is the server intended to be password protected in between the events?

What do you mean "old owner"? So that account is not really yours, you just bought it from someone? That is illegal
