Using the normal text message system (pressing {{key press|T}} in a normal host or typing into the virtual console at the host management web interface: https://www.lfs.net/hosting/admin), the message becomes a command if you start it with a slash character ({{kbd|/}}). For most commands with parameters, you can retrieve their current status by not omitting the parameter (for example {{kbd|/rstend}} feeds back the currently active setting).

Unofficial LFS commands website: https://lfs-commands.vercel.app/

Command line options

LFS can be started using a command line or another program.

Before selecting host options, you may find it helpful to run LFS and try out the options on the Start New Host screen - the required upload bandwidth for those options is displayed on screen.

A command line or a command file is required for dedicated hosts.

The following command, if used, must be the first command on a command line or the first command in a command file.

/settings=X.txt - load settings from X.txt instead of cfg.txt

If the following command is used it must be before any other commands.

/join=Host Name - join an internet server

The following command may only be used after /join.

/pass=Pass - if required - password

The following commands are mainly for hosts but may also be used to override various cfg.txt settings or start InSim.

Command Description Example
/ip=X.X.X.X if required - local specified IP address /ip=192.168.1.1
/port=X a high number below 65536 /port=50000
/mode=X server mode to restrict allowed cars & tracks /mode=s2
/usemaster=X whether to use the master server /usemaster=yes
/track=XXCR track and config /track=FE2X
/weather=X track weather preset /weather=2
/cars=XXX allowed cars - see below: Car Strings /cars=FXO+XRG
/maxguests=X max number of guests that can join host /maxguests=6
/adminslots=X slots reserved for admins /adminslots=2
/carsmax=X max number of cars in a race /carsmax=8
/carshost=X max number of cars (real+AI) on host PC /carshost=2
/carsguest=X max number of cars (real+AI) per guest PC /carsguest=2
/pps=X smoothness - number of car updates per second /pps=6
/qual=X qualifying minutes, 0 for no qualifying /qual=10
/laps=X number of laps, 0 for practice, "no" for untimed /laps=8
/wind=X wind strength /wind=2
/dedicated=X dedicated host mode /dedicated=yes
/vote=X can guests vote to kick or ban /vote=yes
/select=X can guests select track /select=yes
/rstmin=X no restart for X seconds after race start /rstmin=30
/rstend=X no restart for X seconds after race finish /rstend=60
/autokick=X how the server reacts to wrong way drivers /autokick=ban
/midrace=X join during race /midrace=yes
/mustpit=X pit stop required /mustpit=yes
/canrefuel=X refuelling allowed /canrefuel=yes
/showfuel=X remote cars fuel visible /showfuel=yes
/canreset=X allow car reset /canreset=yes
/fcv=X force cockpit view /fcv=yes
/cruise=X allow wrong way /cruise=yes
/allowmods=X allow mods /allowmods=yes
/unapproved=X no / yes (allow unapproved mods) /unapproved=yes
/start=X default race start grid order /start=random
/vr=X avoid or enter VR mode /vr=on
/insim=X listen for InSim /insim=29999
/player=X use the specified player name /player=John Doe
/windowed=X windowed mode - overrides the cfg.txt setting /windowed=yes
/autosave=X MPR autosave /autosave=2
/mprdir=X set the data folder for saving multiplayer replays /mprdir=multi
/lytdir=X set the data folder for autocross layouts /lytdir=my_layouts

You can use a command file xxx.txt instead of a long command line.
The command file contains the command line parameters.
The parameters can be spread onto several lines.
The command file can contain comments, starting with two slashes //.

Then the command line would be simply:

LFS.exe /cfg=xxx.txt (where xxx.txt is the name of the config file)

Host commands

Some text commands are intended for hosts and administrators.

Using the normal text message system (pressing T in a normal host or typing into the virtual console at the host management web interface: https://www.lfs.net/hosting/admin), the message becomes a command if you start it with a slash character (/). For most commands with parameters, you can retrieve their current status by omitting the parameter (for example /rstend feeds back the currently active setting).

Simple commands with no parameter

Command Description
/restart start a race
/qualify start qualifying
/end return to race setup screen
/help get list of commands
/ck cancel any kick or ban votes in progress
/cv cancel game votes (restart / end / qualify)
/zero_all reset lap counters on all cars
/spec_all spectate all players

Commands with a parameter - race setup screen

Command Description Example
/track XXCR [W] track and config /track BL1R
/track FE2X
/track SO4 3
/weather W lighting /weather 1
/qual X qualifying minutes (0 = no qualifying) /qual 10
/laps X number of laps (0 = practice) /laps 5
/hours X number of hours (if laps not specified) /hours 24
/wind X wind strength /wind 2

Commands with a parameter - any time

Command Description Example
/maxguests X max number of guests that can join host /maxguests 40
/adminslots X slots reserved for admins (0 to 8) /adminslots 2
/carsmax X max number of cars in a race /carsmax 40
/carshost X max number of cars (real+ai) on host pc /carshost 5
/carsguest X max number of cars (real+ai) per guest pc /carsguest 1
/pps X smoothness (3-12) maximum car updates per second /pps 12
/msg X send system message /msg Hello!

/select X no / yes (guests select track) /select no
/rstmin X no restart for X seconds after race start /rstmin 60
/rstend X no restart for X seconds after race finish /rstmin 120
/specdnf X result blockers spectate with DNF after X seconds /specdnf 25

NOTE: some commands cannot be followed by another command:
