Replays

One of the great features of LFS is the ability to record a replay of each race, whether it be a Single Player Race (SPR) or a Multiplayer Race (MPR, LAN or Online). Watching a replay you can use various camera-perspectives, speed-up, slow-down or even pause the play back. The appropriate hotkeys are listed in the key commands chapter. To record a race it is customary to set this feature in the Options/Game section as we discussed before, however you can save a recorded session by hitting the 2 key on the main keyboard , this saves the race up until that point and immediately starts the saved replay playing back, this is useful when you have just finished an online race and want to save it before everyone restarts.

During a single player replay, if you hit the esc key, you will be presented with some options:

Options: Takes you to main options screen

Replay: Restarts the selected replay

Output lap data:
Saves technical information to a .RAF (Replay Analyser File) that you import into external programs, such as LFS Replay Analyser or F1PerfView available from the Live For Speed main site.

Test drive: This allows you to drive the track using the car setup from, for example, a world record hotlap replay. You may have to change your controller settings to suit if they use a wheel and you use a keyboard or mouse.
