>New LFS World feature : SMS Alerts & Messages
>Small progress report
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Racers. We would like to announce a new feature at LFS World : SMS Alerts and SMS Messages!
You can now send text messages to other LFS racers, from LFS world or from inside LFS! You can also set SMS Alerts, to be informed of new hotlap world records or receive a message when one of your buddies goes online. We have given all S2 racers two free messages, for test purposes... so we recommend you go and enter your mobile phone number and try out an Alert or a Message. If you like it then you may wish to pre-pay for more messages (can be done on LFS World). They are all charged at ?0.12 - both national and international.
See what it's all about in the LFS Alerts window and the LFS Messages window, at www.lfsworld.net
On the simulation side, things have been coming along well. Eric has recently worked some more on the Aston track, including graphical improvements, texture changes and a new configuration (or two). Scawen has worked on some aerodynamic improvements, most notably, the drag and downforce from wings work correctly depending on their real angle of motion, not just the user setting. A recent push on tyre physics has resulted in much better tyres which have improved the car handling and driving experience a lot. We have also been experimenting with another interesting feature as well...
How to make use of SMS Alert :
If you have sufficient money in your account, you can receive SMS alerts for particular events. For example, you can receive SMS alerts for when friends go online in LFS, or for the hotlappers, if a (particular) WR gets broken. See 'Add an SMS Alert' below for the available SMS Alerts.
TIP: Even if you don't want to receive Alerts, you can still enter your mobile number so you can receive custom SMS messages from other LFS users.
How much does it cost?
Every SMS Alert that you receive and every SMS Message that you send costs ?0.12. This fee will be deducted from your account balance.
