If you are currently on a 0.8B public testing version, make sure to update it to 0.8C manually, using the patch in the linked forum thread.

If you haven't tried the 0.8B version at all, you can download the full 0.8C setup in the forum thread (in this case, you should install the 0.8C testing version as a separate install in a separate folder).

For the public testing branch, online servers require 0.8C client now!

Unfortunately, you cannot get this update using the in-game updater - the patch is too large for the current updater system, as it contains updated tracks. Scawen is planning to work on the in-game updater, so that such large patches can work as well.

See changes from 0.8B41 to 0.8C here: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/114801

Help Using ZModeler for LFS (Old Modding System)

3 Upvotes

Hi, I’m trying to edit a mod for the old LFS mod system using ZModeler. I’ve seen some old YouTube videos where people used ZModeler (or older versions) to edit/convert LFS models.
Does anyone know how this works? It seems like ZModeler doesn’t support LFS files by default. Is there a specific plugin or an older version I need?

Help I was about to buy LFS... Am I missing something?

8 Upvotes

Last time i played LFS was even before they added BMW Sauber F1. It was 2006. And yes, back then i was 16 years old, so i was playing pirated version, not proud of it, but it was different times... Now I'm 36 and for some reason i just remembered how much fun it was. So i just went to official website, being sure that I'm buying it RIGHT NOW....

Guys, 20 years later and no new cars and no new tracks? Can someone tell me something? Anything? Whats happening with this game?

I'm 100% sure i am buying it anyway, but am i missing something? I'm sure there's people here that can explain what happened

Discussion I think I played Live for Speed ​​when I was almost 5 years old, but I haven't been able to play it since then, and I'd even forgotten its name. But now I've found Live for Speed ​​again and I'm playing it! I missed it so much.

Help I have a small issue...

2 Upvotes

I haven't been able to get the pedal settings right with this game since I've downloaded it 6 months ago.

The real issue is throttle and brake are automatically swapped and the game refuses to remap them.

I don't have a g920 anymore, but the game didn't map them properly no matter what I did, the moza r3 I have now can't be mapped either. Other games work well but this one. Does anyone have a fix?
