"F" stands for "forces", the indicators show suspensions and forces on the tires etc. To see them, is the whole point of press "F."

Do you use "F" to hide the dashboard/cockpit?
You can acually do that in a better way. Go to options->view
https://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Options/View
Draw : None / Wheels / Body
set this to "None"
This will get you a bumper cam view like this:

You can also change the camera height, angle, position etc.

Quote from Evolution_R :Well, that's unfortunate, given the fact it's a paid model. Frown

I think c trader is a very questionable site.
Too many users with hundreds of high quality content (both free and paid)
I would expect much more low and mid quality uploads, as you see in any other place where hobby people upload their creations.
For example YouTube: wide range of quality. Good stuff and bad stuff, anything in-between.
If you are surfing on a website that only shares high quality movies...then it is warez and you are a pirate.
I see no efforts by cgtrader to control what gets uploaded.

As I was watching yesterday's lunar eclipse, I wondered:
Will there be a moon?

The aerial views of the tracks looks phantastic!

Quote : DelayedCommand( 10,rivi6 );

Try to remove that line.
It tries to call a function named "rivi6" but you only have rivi1 to rivi5.

tl;dr:
neither single word is perfect, both are okay-ish.

"vertrauenswürdig" is the word used by browsers, virus scanners or Windows when the user is asked if he wants to do something potentially dangerous.
For example: visit a website with expired certificates, use http instead of https, open a file flagged by virus scanner, open an office document with macros etc.
It might be good to use wording that the user already knows from other software.

Quote :Taking the English translation at face value, we don't really want to claim the host is "trustworthy" (because we don't really know). This button is only shown, if you, the user, have previously answered "join" when warned "You should only join if you trust the host".

Yes, I thought about this. It is not fully clear if the "trusted" rating is something official (given by LFS) or was given by the user.
That is unclear with either german word but I think also unclear in english?

To leave no room for misunderstanding it would be need a full sentence like you said: "you trusted the host."
However, when a system asks the user if he/she trusts something, it is always implied that the system does not know.
Afterall, that is the reason why the system asked in the first place.
I think it is also implied that the users does not have 100% insight to the issue and is acting at his own risk.
(The user can not see what a server or file is really doing)

To me, "vertrauenswürdig" means:
This thing is worth trusting - there is nothing that raises suspicion - but a risk remains.

"vertraut" in context of trust is more about relationship between persons.
In technical context "vertraut" is more like "being accustomed to" something.
It sounds a bit weird but should be understandable.

Er ist vertraut, mit Computern zu arbeiten aber er vertraut ihnen nicht.

He is accustomed to working with computers but he does not trust them.

Fair play.

In LFS there are no rules beside speeding in pitlane, premature starts and entering restricted areas. Everything else is social constructs.

real life examples:
In this autocross rulebook: https://www.dmsj.org/de/meisterschaften/autocross/file/296149

It says they use 1/100s accuracy.
"Die Zeitnahme erfolgt per Transponder; Zeitmessung und Zeitangabe erfolgen in 1/100 Sekunden."

The timing transponder usually must be mounted near the center of the car.
Screenshot from a different rulebook that has pictures:

It also says that in "head to head" situations the front of the car is used. That is decided by officials, but it is not specified how or when it is done.

I have updated German.

3h_trustedb "trusted"

The correct translation is in my opinion: "vertrauenswürdig"
It is too long by one character.

There are other german words with similar meanings but in technical context they do not really fit.
For now I have put "vertraut" which should be understandable but sounds a bit weird.

Hi,
Three autocross courses are included with LFS, at the "Autocross" area.
Named LX_week1,2,3

also maybe try these:
https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/4497
https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1934370#post1934370
bit different, includes reversing:
https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/86493

Most uploaded custom layouts are indeed racetracks, rallye tracks or drift layouts.
Using the search-function is a bit tricky because the area in LFS is literally named "Autocross" and so the word often gets used in unrelated posts.

the models are ripped from Gran Turismo and World of Tanks.

Just saw your "how to upload a hotlap" video, I did not know it was possible to change starting location like that in hotlapping.

I think realistically nothing can be done.
The cars are too large and too fragile.
As you said, just not suitable.
Jokerlaps, tire tweaks, shortcuts etc. feel too artificial.
Any "solution" will be silly and it is uncertain if it would even work.

Maybe it would be better to drop it as an official race and instead run some special event.
F1 drivers but in Gokarts or something like that.

Luckily this weekend there was also Spa Classics, with interesting cars and actual racing. Nod

Did you try using google search like this?
site: https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/ porsche

or
site: https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/ gt40

(copy & paste it into google)
It seems okayish, some unrelated results but usable.

Mods do (should) already have a note on which vehicle/intellectual property they are based.
See at bottom of a mods page:
Quote :
Intellectual property
This Vehicle Mod is inspired by another vehicle.
(and then name of vehicle)

There is no LFS username samuellinhu - only "samuelinhu"

What mod does this refer to? "MCPL IREALIS" ?

Who created that 3d model?
Where is the origin/proof/wip pictures of that model?

How are reviewers supposed to find this "autorizzation" thread?

I think such posts need to be much more clear, like this it is useless.

OBS means Open Broadcaster, the streaming software, or something else?

It is how the real car works.
It feels random at first but after a while you will do it automatically without thinking. You get a feel for how much and how long you need to lift.e
