Happy to see at least some people enjoy the trails and have fun.
Just to give you an update, we have a pitstop right after each split on all trails and the roco
since a while. Another thing is , we released the MRT for Medium, Hard and X-Dream as well. I found out
I could finish the Trail X-Dream alone with my MRT. At some parts it is a bit tricky, I will admit
that. You can of course always get escorted by a friend in another car to give some pushes at difficult
sections. This adds up the maximum of available points to 300. Have fun and stay cool.

Have fun and stay cool. hi there all.
first lfs post. first time interacting with the forum.
im going to level with all who read this.
the trails here ive been playing not only changed what i thought i understood about what is and isnt possible playing a simracing platform.but it took my idea of what autocross should be and put it straight in the bin.
the entire playability of lfs was transformed the moment i started racing these trails and ill be forever thankful a human being took the time to make these for us to race.
i put my favorite playlist on. crack a bottle of wine. sit down. and im taken to a whole other world. these trails have made my lockdown so positive.
thankyou so much for making this all happen. brilliant work guys.
many endless thanks.

Thanks a lot for the nice words.
I really like to see people having fun on the trails.
I still dont get why not more people at least give it a try to see if they like it.
Join the servers, read the just 3 lines of instructions and drive.
Eastslider, I resized my screenies, let me know if its better for you to look at now.
By the way, this is how pitstops look like, example given at trail easy start.

Yep the screenshots load much faster now, since it’s no longer 5MB per image
Doing the Trails is like learning the Nurburgring for the first time but with some stunt & jump driving elements mixed in.
Best to have some music running in the background & just take your time; read the signs, if confused don’t drive ahead blindly or you’ll risk getting sent back to spectator-mode.
If your car is stuck or badly damaged, use the command !tow
There are also pit-stops along the way.
Making it to the end is an achievement itself; if you can remember the course, you could attempt to time-attack it like a rally-stage.
The thing I find most difficult are the jumps, you’ve the get the speed just right; or risk suspension damage.
The layouts are challenging yet fair & entertaining, nicely done P V L.

Fastest laps on the trails and roco
Hello, as the servers are running now for a while we can get an idea what really fast laps will be about.
On trail easy 270 laps were finished so far.
On trail medium 104 laps were finished so far.
On the rollercoaster 100 laps were done so far.
On trail hard 77 laps were done so far.
On trail x-dream 44 laps were done so far.
This adds up to 595 laps being finished on the 5 tracks.
The fastest lap on trail easy did Fox 2 in a BF1 with a time of 20:05,57 minutes.
The fastest lap on trail medium did Marcel . in an FXR with a time of 35:08,27 minutes.
The fastest lap on the rollercoaster did Eastslider in an MRT with a time of 20:37,65 minutes.
The fastest lap on trail hard did Marcel . in an FZR with a time of 47:03,17 minutes.
The fastest lap on trail x-dream did Shvaya in an LX6 with a time of 59:08,07 minutes.
For the fast guys out there this could be a nice challenge and different to what they usually are driving.
So, lets see how fast YOU can be on Driver Seat.

Hello LFS community.
I would like to let you all know that the [DS] servers are back with a new insim.
It includes now not only the 20 original LFS cars but 100 mods ( 13 of those are bikes ).
Here is a link to a 1 minute tutorial video: https://youtu.be/pzUlqdtoGY4
There are 5 DS servers running:
[DS] Trail Easy ( 1 point for each vehicle / trail combo )
[DS] Trail Medium ( 2 points for each vehicle / trail combo )
[DS] Rollercoaster ( 3 points for each vehicle / trail combo )
[DS] Trail Hard ( 4 points for each vehicle / trail combo )
[DS] Trail X-Dream ( 5 points for each vehicle / trail combo)
To get started join [DS] Trail Easy, any finished lap will unlock [DS] Trail Medium.
Any finished lap on [DS] Trail medium will unlock [DS] Trail Hard.
Any finished lap on [DS] Trail Hard will unlock [DS] Trail X-Dream.
[DS] Rollercoaster is free to join from start as well.
There is a wall of glory ranking with ranks given by points.
For those that like to go fast all time there is a top times table available.
We even have our Timing tool Delta, it offers 6 options to compare your current lap.
The 6 options are:
Compare to fastest lap done on trail at all.
Compare to fastest lap done on trail in current vehicle.
Compare to slowest lap done on trail.
Compare to slowest lap done on trail in current vehicle.
Compare to your fastest lap done on trail.
Compare to your fastest lap done on trail in current vehicle.
The Delta tool is free adjustable in size and position on your screen.
At the end of the lap penalty times will be added, same goes for used resets.
To use a reset, do !tow. It will get you to the last safe checkpoint you passed.
For bikes there is an unlimited amount of !up and !turn commands availabe.
For any vehicles with no reverse gear the !turn command works as well.
If interested to join our discord, here is the invite link:
https://discord.gg/w6fCCtrUBk
You may find some more infos or just entertainment reading the Trail & Roco channel there.
This should be enough to give a first impression, hope to see some of you guys soon on [DS].
Best wishes to all of you, enjoy life.

[DS] Driver Seat Events
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to announce the opening of our event server.
It is named [DS] Driver Seat Events and ready to use.
During the christmas time we will have many smaller fun races.
Those are going to happen on different layouts like Rumble Race,
Race of Champions or other fun layouts.
The main event of christmas will be a 3 hours + endurance
race on one of my old lyts, a bit updated to have it more interesting.
Its a very custom layout on Westhill, the car to use will be the SEDAN.
The exact date and time will be announced as soon as its set.
For now we can tell it will be 25 laps and you may practise to get
used to both the track and the car during the next days.
So, start your engines, enjoy the ride.
Best luck to all when going to or even over the limits.

The Endurance Race on [DS] Driver Seat Events will be started at 15.00 ( 3 p.m.) CET
on the 25th of december 2022. The car to use will be the SEDAN ( C7335D ). We will go for 25 laps,
estimated race duration is 3 hours +. The car offers great fun even it is not that fast,
beside that the track is a bit tricky and this way I hope even slower drivers can finish at
a good position. The server is open already, track & car are set. For better practise we have
reset on at the moment, it will of course be off during the race.
Even we do not need to signup, it would be nice if those taking part for sure would do a short
post on this thread. No information needed , just the LFS account is enough then. I am looking
forward to this, hopefully we get some people to join. Start your engines, join the track and
lets practise. Best luck to all participiants,

I know its not the best time for some of us. On the other hand its a day where almost nobody has to work.
I couldnt find a better time to do it in the short time. Still, I wanted to offer something for Christmas at least.
We will see how many people may join. If not enough for a good race I will delay it to a better time.
For now, its the rumble lap loaded and awaiting the competitors.
This is a "all allowed race", so do whatever you think is getting you over the line first.
We run a basic insim even, means you can use the well known !tow whenever you need it.
It will add 10 seconds for each use on this lap. To make it even more interesting for slower drivers,
the restart is set to reverse finish. Join us and have fun, P V L

Nice to see that you are still here and that you are still supporting the community. I'm not sure how much stimulation is TC money, but I totally support it. Can you give us more stats like you did in the early days, as this ones I've quoted above? How many finished laps from 03.2021 till now?
Laps on [DS] Trails
On trail easy 1190 laps were finished so far. Keep in mind this takes from 20+ to 30 minutes at least.
On trail medium 432 laps were finished so far. This takes at least 30+ up to 50 minutes.
On the rollercoaster 401 laps were done so far. As its shorter takes a good 20+ up to 40 minutes.
On trail hard 192 laps were done so far. This takes at least 50+ up to 70 minutes.
On trail x-dream 122 laps were done so far. This takes at least 60 up to 80 minutes.
This adds up to 2337 laps being finished on the 5 tracks.
But you can check this very easy, just connect to any of the servers and click "top times".
Beside that we do a lot christmas & new years events every year. Then we have some group runs
on the trails with 3-8 people most and often smaller challenges on the event server.
Here is my job for you, hop into RAC and roll along all of them. At finish note the KM done.
May be you have a better way to find out how long the trails are, let me know. Greets [DS] P V L
