Over night I have been thinking about how this blue flag penalty could be implemented, but it doesn't seem to be a straight forward thing.
When a player is slow for a reason (skills, technical issue on the car, been in an accident, etc.) the whole field will lap him/her at some point. That means a lot of blue flags will be given, but only counting them isn't doing justice to the player that gets them. I mean, maybe he/she moves out of the way ASAP but since then the next car will appear, the flag count will go up and up. A way to go around that is to count the number of flags within a given time period, but then again, when all the cars are catching up, it still might be too many flags within X seconds.
As far as I know, Lapper can't indicate which players causes you to get a blue flag. It would help to be able to know that Player A gets a blue flag because of Player B and if those are too many, you could apply a penalty. Then the counting starts again when Player A gets a blue flag because of Player C.
I have no idea if there's an Insim packet to get that information and if so, if Bass-Driver would be willing to implement it.

You can give penalties with these commands:
cmdLFS( "/p_30 " . GetCurrentPlayerVar( "UserName" ) );
cmdLFS( "/p_45 " . GetCurrentPlayerVar( "UserName" ) );
cmdLFS( "/p_dt " . GetCurrentPlayerVar( "UserName" ) );
cmdLFS( "/p_sg " . GetCurrentPlayerVar( "UserName" ) );
Penalties:
/p_30 USERNAME :give 30 second time penalty
/p_45 USERNAME :give 45 second time penalty
/p_dt USERNAME :give drive through penalty
/p_sg USERNAME :give stop-go penalty
Yeah you can, but you have to write the code your self.
I have just pointed you towards the right event to put that piece of code into.
The flags are found in lfslapper.lpr (I have version 7.0.4.10 , which isn't the latest version but in a higher version it is as well), see this:
#########################################################################################
#Action on Event when player receives a Flag (Yellow/Blue flags and Lag/Missing packets)#
#########################################################################################
# The Flags below returns 1 or 0 depends on which flag is received by the user
#$YellowFlag: Player receives a YellowFlag
#$BlueFlag : Player recieves a BlueFlag
#$LagFlag : Player is lagging or is missing carpackets
#$Time : ShortTimeFormat,same as GetLapperVar("ShortTime");
##########################################################################################
$PlayerFlagEvent = -1; #Enable Event 1 = ON / -1 = OFF
Event OnPlayerFlags($userName,$YellowFlag,$BlueFlag,$LagFlag,$Time) # Player event
/*
IF( $YellowFlag == 1) THEN
privmsg("^3YELLOW FLAG");
ENDIF
IF( $BlueFlag == 1) THEN
privmsg("^4BLUE FLAG");
ENDIF
IF( $LagFlag == 1) THEN
privmsg("^5LAG");
ENDIF
*/
EndEvent
This /* and this */ means that the code between those two signs is disabled.
Remove both of them and the code will be active on the next reload of Lapper, that can be done by typing this into the LFS chat (if you have admin rights on Lapper, that is): !reload
To get rid of "LAPPERSCRIP DEVELOPEMENT" search for this piece of code in lfslapper.lpr:
#################################################
#Connect messages when a player joins the server#
#################################################
Event OnConnect( $userName ) # Player event
/*
$NickName = GetCurrentPlayerVar("NickName");
$Posabs = GetCurrentPlayerVar("PosAbs");
$Groupqual = GetCurrentPlayerVar("GroupQual");
openPrivButton( "welc",25,50,150,15,12,-1,ISB_NONE, langEngine("%{main_welc1}%", $NickName ) );
openPrivButton( "pos",25,80,150,10,8,-1,ISB_NONE,langEngine("%{main_welc2}%",$Posabs,$Posqual,$Groupqual ) );
openPrivButton( "clos",78,120,20,10,10,-1,ISB_DARK,langEngine("%{main_accept}%"),OnConnectClose );
openPrivButton( "ref",103,120,20,10,10,-1,ISB_DARK,langEngine("%{main_deny}%"),OnConnectCloseKick );
*/
openPrivButton( "welc",0,0,200,5,12,-1,32, "LAPPERSCRIPT DEVELOPMENT , Something with a Message System.");
EndEvent
Change that to:
#################################################
#Connect messages when a player joins the server#
#################################################
Event OnConnect( $userName ) # Player event
/*
$NickName = GetCurrentPlayerVar("NickName");
$Posabs = GetCurrentPlayerVar("PosAbs");
$Groupqual = GetCurrentPlayerVar("GroupQual");
openPrivButton( "welc",25,50,150,15,12,-1,ISB_NONE, langEngine("%{main_welc1}%", $NickName ) );
openPrivButton( "pos",25,80,150,10,8,-1,ISB_NONE,langEngine("%{main_welc2}%",$Posabs,$Posqual,$Groupqual ) );
openPrivButton( "clos",78,120,20,10,10,-1,ISB_DARK,langEngine("%{main_accept}%"),OnConnectClose );
openPrivButton( "ref",103,120,20,10,10,-1,ISB_DARK,langEngine("%{main_deny}%"),OnConnectCloseKick );

#openPrivButton( "welc",0,0,200,5,12,-1,32, "LAPPERSCRIPT DEVELOPMENT , Something with a Message System.");

Version 7.0.6.4 never made it to a public version (please correct me if I am wrong Bass-Driver) and must be considered a beta version.
If you are on 7.0.6.3 you are on the latest released version and should be able to do all you want to, including the flags we were talking about earlier in this thread.
Lapper has this Lapper Event you can use for that:
OnPlayerFlags($userName,$YellowFlag,$BlueFlag,$LagFlag,$Time);
Put that in an event and do some logging about how many blueflags a player can have, before getting a penalty.

I can help you with that.
Let me know what you need.
Share as much information as possible, so I can get a clear picture what will be needed.

It's possible to do that using the http function of Lapper.
I have this in one of my scripts:
This will send data from Lapper to the mentioned PHP file on a webserver.
Retrieving the data by the PHP-file looks like this:
Then you can do what ever you want with it.
In return you can make PHP do something in Lapper as well, see this example:
This will send a message within Lapper, but you can also make buttons popup or be closed or what ever you like.
The possibilities are nearly endless.
I have this in one of my scripts:
http("http://[REMOVED URL]/test_pwd_lfs.php?servername=".$server_name_schedule."&date=".$date_storage."&password=".$pwd_storage);
This will send data from Lapper to the mentioned PHP file on a webserver.
Retrieving the data by the PHP-file looks like this:
<?php
### Get data send through LFS Lapper ###
$servername= $_GET['servername'];
$race_date= $_GET['date'];
$password= $_GET['password'];
### End ###
?>
In return you can make PHP do something in Lapper as well, see this example:
<?php
echo "cmdLFS(\"/msg ^1WARNING: ^7You are using a proxy!\");";
?>

There is no studio working on LFS. It's a project of Scawen (as coder)and Eric (graphics designer) and that's it. They don't use any known software to build this game, as Scawen has build all on its own. Money isn't what drives them, perfection is and they do a fine job with that. LFS has come a long way since I first discovered it and I am sure it will go a long way as well. All that's going on behind the scenes now, will be huge step forward while quality is still remained. Either people like this slow progress and value the game for what it is already (a masterpiece) or they don't like it and move along.
Yes, but mine is the 2012 runtime libraries.
Don't know if that makes any difference.
Otherwise some other user has to offer you advice, sorry.

Nope, private mail came empty as well, but on my VPS I found this: MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ 2012 RUNTIME LIBRARIES
I think you need to install that, probably have a reboot and then should be good to go.

Aha, I had that issue too a long time ago on my VPS.
I needed to install something from Microsoft.
Quickly searched through my Hotmail, but the answer wasn't in there.
Need to search my private email (or check my VPS) when I am home again.
To be continued.

The error is exactly what it says 
This file "System.Data.SQLite.dll" cannot be found.

It looks like Lapper is using another password.
Maybe another file is used, instead of default_1 ?

Scawen has already said that he worked on the AI during the tyre physics update (which still isn't finished) and that the improved AI will appear in the game once tyre and graphical update will be ready for testing.
As far as I know, Lapper doesn't show split times in the topbar by default.
You might want to check the file named "addonsused.lpr" as that's the one the enables\disables modules that are loaded when Lapper is started (or restarted using command: !reload).

I have loaded your script and found several errors:
This: privmsg($userName,"you successfully entered the Track with Pinto powered XRT!);
Should be: privmsg($userName,"you successfully entered the Track with Pinto powered XRT!");
This: privmsg($userName,"you successfully entered the Track with Zetec powered XRT!);
Should be: privmsg($userName,"you successfully entered the Track with Zetec powered XRT!");
This: Sub tws_Zetec( $KeyFlags )
Should be: Sub tws_Zetec( $KeyFlags , $id )
This: Sub tws_Pinto( $KeyFlags )
Should be: Sub tws_Pinto( $KeyFlags , $id )
All these errors were visable in the log file:

You might have looked at the wrong lof file, as Lapper has two of them.
This file* is the correct file to check: 127.0.0.1-29994-ERR.log
*29994 = the port number your Lapper is running on, so that might differ on your end
Of course it's always a good thing to learn the coding skills your self and you are well on your way, but if you want some inspiration or to have a fully developed handicap (or restrictions as you call it) system, have a look at the script I made in the past: https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1954184#post1954184

This update has been out for years, but never made it to this forum.
Better late than never they say, so here it is.
Handicap system V2.00.2 BETA
-Removed -WHILE-loop in sub 'handicap_gui_force' and replaced it with a FOREACH-loop
Change the extension of the file to .lpr and add it to addonsused.lpr to be able to use it.

Add a debugging message in both Subs and see if the tekst appears when the button is clicked.
If so, there's a problem within the Sub(s) and if not, there is a problem with the button.

If you would be following the monthly updates, you would know that a graphics update is in the works. So no need to suggest such thing.
I don't know about any existing code, but I do know that it's possible to send data from Lapper to a website and even to send information back.
