Multiplayer / Display list of hosts

After clicking on this button, LFS will connect to the master server and download a list of all available Live for Speed servers which are not hidden. The list contains extended information about each server including which cars are allowed, which track is being used and how many racers are on the server at the moment. Clicking on the '?' button will show various additional information in the chat window including the names of the racers on the server. Using the buttons on the bottom you can specify some criteria for the servers displayed. Symbols:

– number of players in race
- number of all connected players

Car filters: The car filters help you find the host you want.

The QUICK method of using the filters: Use the car class buttons on the bottom of the screen to quickly set several car filters. ALL is the default. For fine tuning or manual operation: Click on the vertical car names in the list of games. You can set them to BLACK, BLUE or RED.

BLACK: You dont mind if this car is enabled or not
BLUE: This car MUST be available on the host
RED: This car must NOT be available on the host

- Leave most of them BLACK (the default colour)
- The cars you want to use, set them to BLUE
- Use RED only for cars you really dont want to see

Guests: please join empty hosts - people will join!
Hosts: please dont simply allow all cars, but instead just one car or one of the car classes. That way your server provides the best experience for all racers.

Track codes: The tracks are also specified within the server list using codes listed in the following table. Each configuration with the exception of the drag strips, car parks (both Blackwood and Autocross car park) and Skid Pad can also be run either in normal or reverse direction, effectively doubling the number of tracks. The track code is usually a combination of three parts: 1. Track identifier, 2. Config number and 3. Reverse / open config flag. Example: BL1R would stand for "Blackwood GP Reverse", AS3 for "Aston National", SO2Y for South City open track with SO Sprint 1 Reverse pitlane and grid etc.

BL - Blackwood (4 configs: GP, Historic, Rallycross, Car Park)
SO - South City (6 configs: Classic, Sprint 1, Sprint 2, City Long, Town Course, Chicane Route)
