I'm sure that Jessica is a talented young lady and enjoys her work, despite being unfamiliar with sim racing. However, lets look at this from a marketing point of view - the average sim racer is male, and if you go by the average LFS forum age, probably between 15-25 and most likely single or not in a serious relationship (I've pulled that last one out of my arse, but I'd maintain that it's likely to be true).
Now look at the change in SRT to ISR. There's now undeniably someone behind it who knows who to turn it into a self sufficient business and how to drive it's continued success.
Maybe I'm just being cynical, but there's an undeniable relationship between the two.
Now I'm not saying this is necessarily a bad thing, but it is an observation that you cannot ignore
You certainly seem to be appealing to the 15 year old pocket mining demographic now 
However, it's nice to see this episode isn't as ad heavy as special report, and it's also nice to hear a lot of the dialog getting a lot smoother :up:

Looks like you're online now - I guess that was good news? :up:
Odds are you set the /ip parameter with an IP which is not present on your machine. This setting is for machines with multiple IP addresses only and you shouldn't use it if you're not familiar with the point of it.
May I suggest looking at this thread for more information? Much of it is orientated around using a dedicated server, but there is a brief paragraph at the top which explains which sections to look at for any type of server.

A thread is analogous to a conversation, so it will naturally start on one thing and then continue to another issue which is slightly related.
If people want this subforum to turn into a "please solve my issue and then close" stage, then fair enough, but the OP will have to let me or one of the other mods know so that we can close the thread.
However, in my opinion it benefits others by having a continuing conversation; for example - the updated cruise example posted earlier from mcgas001.
If the thread turns into an argument a mod will take the decision of whether or not it gets closed to prevent a full scale riot.
If you feel a topic should be closed or a post removed, etc. please use the "report this post" feature. All mods are informed when this is done and it will alert most of the moderators who are online, but not on the LFS forums.
Also sun, could you cut down the calling of people idiots. I've seen you do this in multiple threads now and the whole idea seems to cause more arguments than just plain swearing. It seems people take more offence(!).
The only person who could answer that would be Scawen. I'd imagine he'd include it eventually, but as for when, who knows 
My best guess would be that if it's going to happen, it's most likely to happen when the demo licencing system gets push to full version 
Nope, but look at it logically - what would the developers benefit from keeping older versions accessible, with content that is currently not available in older versions, when their entire business model is basically selling content, not patch levels?

It's unknown how much longer 0.5X10 will be supported on the master server, however.

This has been known to be caused by a Windows PC going into hibernate - does he use that?
Also can you get him to check to make sure that the entire data directory, in particular the data/misc directory is writable with his user account and that the existing files are not read only.
With regards to the unlock, the only way he'd get that would be to contact the devs directly here:

It took me 10 seconds with google to find out how to do it "the .NET" way:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/config.aspx
To do it the general way you need to apply some basic thought processes. If you want to create something like LFS uses, or some basic key = value system you need to read the file line by line. Read up until your key delimiter (in this case a = symbol), strip any additional spaces, assign the key in some sort of array or dictionary or some other medium for saving your data. Read the rest of the line, stripping out your delimiter, and assign this as your value for your key in the same array or dictionary, or whatever it is you're using to store your configuration values. If you want to do it this way you need to lookup how to read a file line by line (Readline from the StreamReader object will do nicely) and then how to split a string (String.Split). I'm guessing you'll also want information on storing this information, which you can use what some languages would call a dictionary, or an associative array.
Alternatively you can do it the "ini way", which would either be to write up something that basically does the above, or you can use the win32 api (example here: http://jachman.wordpress.com/2 ... ccess-ini-files-in-c-net/, or a pre-wrapped class here: http://www.doogal.co.uk/inifile.php).
Now let me point something out. I don't use any of the .NET languages. I don't have any of the .NET related tools on any of my machines bar the actual framework. I'm not a brilliant programmer at all. The simple fact is that I've spent less time doing some research than you guys have actually spent typing a post(!!!)

Nope, what you're looking at there is just the code to unpack the compcar structure and make it more usable.
For that sort of thing you're best of talking directly to the developers if you're having trouble receiving email from LFS.net;

It's correct on some of the vehicles, yes I guess you've only tried those with sequential gear boxes?

See this post for an updated version that uses LFS External 1.1.
I would also again like to take the opportunity to point out that I am not the author of this project.

Sorry but I can't see this developing into anything but an argument.
Or you could just use the pubstats. Thats what it was designed for.
Probably because the example hasn't been coverted? If someone wants to do that I'll happily point the download towards that modified version.

The LFS team have made no guarantee over the content of the servers that are managed by third parties. Since this is the entirety of the LFS servers currently out there, I'm not entirely sure what you're after?
The situation was explained by the lack of config backups by 500 servers staff. If LFS server configuration backups are not explicitly covered under the contract that 500 servers customers enter, there are no grounds for 500 servers to make any backup. If this is the case, the issue can be said to be with the individual customers?
There is no invasion of privacy, there is no abuse, there is no guarantee or statement that there will be no advertisement of services on LFS servers, there is no abuse of "admin rights" (by this I assume moderation rights*) that I can see. Anyone who is a member, or not a member, of the LFS community is able to do this by spawning LFS servers. Were this to be anything other than a known server provider who has been known to have issues over the last few days, I could consider your point to have merit.
* Moderators are volunteers who are unpaid and have no control of anything within the LFS infrastructure outside of moderating the posts made in the LFS Forums. Moderators have no control over the master server, and generally have no knowledge of the LFS development procedures or planned features that the LFS general public are not already aware of.
Edit Damn you franky
I've told you before, don't post at the same time as me, it makes me look like a cock
