last year i did not spend a lot of time in LFS. for many reasons. since the last month i wanted to pick up LFS again but there where not a lot of interesting servers anymore. so i did not had the drive to pick it up.. Now i read this message and realy my LFS light fires up again. finaly an update that makes a huge step forward. especially the open map, fixed walls are great in my opinion. two things i wanted since my start in LFS 6 years ago.

keep up the good work guys!!

p.s. my english went down the drain a little to now i'm not that much on international forums anymore. need to work on that myselve! update is comming soon

i Like both sims for diffrent reasons.

i Like Iracing because of the serious racing, statistics, racing with real cars, getting the feeling you are part of a group of drivers and not just one of the thousands that have bought a videogame. I like te realism of damage feeling when you scratch a wall or having a collission. In a LFS race the leaders fly away with 2 seconds or more each lap. in Iracing and special in the solstice the leader has a maximum of 20 seconds distance after 30 minutes racing. because you will be listed with drivers with skills that are almost the same as yours. i love the rating system, there are just a minimum of drivers that crash you for position or doing a kamikaze move, lets say like real. you realy have to practise and practise to get to the top of the field. and get the fastest laptime. on lime rock with the solstice i'm now close to 1.02 seconds after 200+ laps training. In LFS ( after 8 months brake ) i was close to WR in 4 races and back on my old level. It is a lot easier then Iracing to reach the top and stay there.

There are a few things in my opinion that can be changed like damage model and some physics but these guys are seriously busy with making it all perfect.

And about the money, yes it is a lot but you get a lot also. most of the time i use actions like a 3 month membership for 50% price. the cars and tracks cost a lot to but thats a one time spend. you keep them even when y'r membership is out.

I race LFS since 2005 and before that demo. i like the pick up races and everything LFS has to offer. ( drift, cruise, banger, demolition derby, autoX rallyX ) LFS is for me solid ground where you always can come back to have some fun races and competition. some time league .For serious racing i use Iracing.

At the moment i first need a new PC. mine is from 2003 and crashes everytime when it is getting difficult for him. after that a new membership for Iracing and the Ford Mustang FR500 + tracks.

Quote :So do you think when the developers stop developing the physics and go developing graphics, you will be ok when it takes long?

Anyway, the number of LFS players is not going down that rapidly, look here

If you click on 600 days you will see that the licenced hosts dropped with around 200 hosts and de demo host raised with around 200 hosts at the same time. +/- 6 months ago. i think it would be a good idea to look after this. why the licenced host moved to the demo part.. the last two years we lost a few good host wich also is a reason for serious racers and racers who likes statistics to leave LFS for what it is. for a while and hoping one day it will come back.

I like y'r buggyra work chaos, but i think the Skoda RS issn't a huge add for LFS.

What i'm going to say now is posted many times before but still i think its good for LFS. The Devs are not realy into mods and other stuff. i can understand why and everybody else can to i think.

But what i do think is good for LFS is a new member to the devs team. by a competition or another way. there are so many great developers/modders around here and in simworld. some fresh blood issn't always bad. and they can split jobs and help eachother out with problems.

The strength of LFS is the good physics. close competition and free updates. LFS is getting bigger and bigger and maybe it is to big now for just a handfull of devs wich is laying a huge pressure on them.

i did a sugestion to the iracing devs,

i still have the starters package but when i want to buy a new car i also need to buy all the tracks to join the competition. that costs a lot of money.


i think it is a good idea to make a package with a car and the tracks for it's championship. and then somethink like 75% of the normal price. Now i get offers like 3 month membership for only 18$ but it would be nice if they did a offer like my idea.

today i couldnt make it to race online, Yamasuba changed a few things on the server like more laps on the shorter tracks and also added FEgreen or ASclub.

@nikopdr; No this is a pure racing server. rallycross was not one of our plans. thnx anyway for yr suggestion!

the auto restart is a little short indeed. but lik sir smoka lot sayd it should be fixed.

Quote from Tim NL :Very good idea, i give it a try.
UF1 was always a lot of fun on CTRA.
Maybe WE1 or WE1R to?

thnx tim, sorry the westhill tracks are just to long for our pick up races. we wanted short tracks so that people don't have to wait long to join a new race. the SO chicane route is our longest track with a laptime around 1.30 minutes.

thnx for the suggestion anyway!!

Quote from Anthoop :Ah, I was not suggesting to remove SO6 from your list, merely to change the amount of laps on the longer track or the shorter track to even up the overall race time.
For example 5 laps at SO6 and 7/8 at AS1 and FE1.....for me 5 laps is never long enough at the shorter tracks even in UF1.

ahh ok it is something we can change in the future

We just started a new server for the UF1. no rankings no license, no restrictions.. just pure close racing on our server.

[R-R] UF1 Challenge

we already started a topic here in General LFS discussion;

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=64896


i hope to see some of you on our server!

thnx both for y'r comments.

@Anthoop:

yes the SO6 and SO6R are a bit longer then the other tracks. about 40 seconds longer with a laptime around 1.30. still these are good tracks to race with the UF1. we are testing the SO sprint 1 and 2 tracks to so maybe there will be a trackchange. if so i will post it here.

@sparkydave:

Maybe FEgreen is a good option to. i will have to try it and discuss that with my team mate yamasuba who runs the servers.
A new UF1 server [R-R] UF1 Challenge.

Hello all!!

Do you remember the crowded servers? close racing with a lot of fun? fair racing with a good battle? Since a year or maybe two we don't have a fine UF1 server anymore. like in CTRA or a few other servers. racing on Fern Bay club with 30 drivers at the same time beating laptime records and eachother.

We Team Revolution Racing wanted to start something new, and this is the idea we wanted to share with you. A brand new server hosted by 500servers called:

[R-R] UF1 Challenge


Now i can hear you guys and girls think... why the *bleep* starting up a server for the UF1?? We know.. we know.. The Gtr cars have a far bigger "cool" factor, the formula cars are a lot faster.. the XRT drifts better.. But, the thing that make the UF1 fun to race is this; it is slow and easy to handle.Therefore it isn't to difficult for beginners to compete. because it is slow, easy to handle and little the close racing factor is HUGE!! racing bumper to bumper and door to door is possible with a little risk of hitting your component in front or next to you. A great way to learn racing at the limit. To drive in the top 5 and be 0.5 sec faster then your components you realy have to practise clean-driving, for the UF1 is underpowered. don't look strange when the top 15 is within 3 to 4 seconds at the end of the race. We realy think when you win a good filled UF1 race you realy are a talented clean racer!

we try to get the "old-skool" UF1 racing back in a new suit. A good filled server, fair racing and a lot of close competition and fun. We also wanted to add more tracks then only one so people won't get bored.. we hope!

There will be a track rotation every 8 races. And these tracks we will use:



Fernbay Club: 5 laps
Aston Cadet: 5 laps
South City Chicane: 5 laps
Aston Cadet Rev: 5 laps
South City Chicane Rev: 5 laps


There is just one little thing we would like to ask from you to make this all working great..

JOIN OUR SERVER AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!






if you have any further questions or comments do not hesitate to post.






Thanks for you're time,
Revolution Racing

i agree with Takumi_LFS.. this is probably one of the worst servers of LFS. in the beginning i had a lot of fun there! No stress just fun doing some racing and what the server name says "destruction Derby" but in a less way like bumping... kind of rallycross style. then suddenly the one after an other got banned, guys that where racing pretty normal/clean like me for this kind of server. they just didnt do nothing that was forbidden. and after these guys it was my turn. 5 or 6 people after eachother.

i wouldn't care if some of the devs closed this server for good. or a better option ( because the server itselve is good in a way) new admins. and the ones that ar running/killing it now "delete"

then maybe i will show up again.. maybe!


P.s. this was also my first ban in 5 years LFS...

@Scawen;

first of all thnx for the great update!

Quote :FIX : Autocross route checkers only worked for one lap

does this mean you can set the startline on a other position then the standard ones in autocross and change the laptimes ingame and not only in Shift+U mode?

because that was a little issue in autocross and carpark. when you set a new startgridpostion you had to set also the number of laps in shift+u and it wassnt possible to start a race with more than 1 car in multiplayer.

or am i doing something wrong!? :P

thnx anyway!

one more thing,
power | 58AF90 | 0 | 0 | 1,973073E+35

thats the standard value, but how do i know how much my value must be when i want like 300bhp?

don't understand the value's

i will tell you what i am trying to create, i try to create shifter kart spec's as much as possible.
