I have been playing LFS for about 4 months now. My game got a little bit screwed up with some cars not displaying..they were see through. So i re-installed the game and now it wont let me play the map i always played on and the car that i always used. It says something about need S1 or S2 licence. How come they have been blocked now?

Most likely you had a previous version that allowed more cars. For demo racers, (you), the newest version (Z) only allows XFG, XRG, and FBM as far as cars go and only Blackwood for tracks. I have heard that previous versions (such as X) allowed more cars.

Older versions (Patch X) Didnt allow more car amount, but it offered XRT instead of FBM (which wasnt released yet).
@Chris, what map you played before and which car(s) you used then? :)

This is licensed content. You have a demo account. Something doesn't add up.

When you say Register, if all you did is create a user name,then that doesn't give you access to licenced content. To be able to access the content you speak of, you'd need to buy an s2/s1 licence (it's about $56 australian dollars iirc EDIT: Damn! good exchange rate, only $42 now, BARGAIN!) go thru https://www.lfs.net/?page=shop
The track you mentioned has never been available for free, so we can only assume someone gave you a link to a cracked version.

Umm i downloaded this game from the official site from the torrent link it gave me. mods you can check my ip ect ect for other account i may have ( I don't have any other accounts ) Maybe something glitched that gave me those maps?

so what you are saying, is that instead of logging in on his S2 account, he created a new demo account, to ask why he can't access S2 content?
So by that logic, he doesn't know the username/password for his S2 account, and should contact the devs for assistance, yes?

Well it was a nice glitch while it lasted.
LFS demo only gives you Blackwood, the XFG, XRG and the FBM.

Downloading from lfs.net has never involved anything to do with torrents AFAIK. :scratchch
EDIT: Yes it does, i didnt realise that, as i download it from the link to gamershell, which is a zip.
Although fern bay has never been part of the demo content, ever.

Yeah local wholesaler now has the G25 for $299AUD (still more than i paid a year ago) Hopefully the G27 will continue to push the price down. u could always do what i did originally, use a cheap joystick until u can afford a wheel. It's not the best, but it's better than mouse/kb

some cars went see through? you were using VOB mods, then you got worried, re installed, and all you gotta do is re enter your S2 and password and unlock the game.

From what the OP first said, he has never had an s1 or s2 license as far as i can tell.

If it does end up costing you 300$ then get it, it's worth it's money!

Worth the money for you, maybe. Not necessarily for him.
