Does SoftTH allow the centre monitor to run at a different resolution to the side monitors? I have a single 22" 1680x1024 monitor at the moment but I have 2x 1280x1024 19" monitors. Could they be used together ok in LFS?

Maxim

With the TH2GO Adapter you could run all these three Monitors on 1280 x 1024.

I agree.

(Edit: part of this set)

Uh, pic didn't work. Anyway - are those 22"s of the 4:3 variant? If so, what brand are they? They look pretty sharp. Would love some big sized 4:3s to replace my misc. config setup.

They are widescreen, I run 3 x 1280x1024 with 2xAA and 2xAF. Widescreen Resolution is also available.

that looked like..............the ultimate cockpit you can have for any racing game.

two questions: how did you get the shifter and the clutch pad, and how did you integrate it with the momo

cheers

For the Shifter I bought the Act Labs 2006 Shifter, pretty solid and feels good when shifting. And it's only 60 Dollars, I recommend it because of its size and the superb feeling, it makes alot of difference even if you already have the G25. I even like the shifting Feeling more than the feeling when shifting in my real car. Feels like Maserati

For the third Pedal I just took some older Wheel that I still had and cut a bit of it away. 3 USB Gameport things connected at the same time but its no problem.
But I'm tired of buying new Plastic Pedals and Wheels every year or two, so as soon as they start to get worn out and fall apart I will buy some Professionell Simulation Pedals like from FREX or VPP. They dont break down in a lifetime and are of much better quality and material. I would prefer the FREX Pedals as of now, with the Sim Clutch + Feature that simulates a Clutch Feeling, while VPP also has great pedals with Clutch feel, but FREX will come out in the following weeks with a new Pressure-Sensitive FF Brake Pedal that can simulate locked wheels or ABS Brake Pedal behaviour.

I just have to say how much fun it is to Race Live for Speed on triple screens, its breathtaking and so immersive, I love it and would like to recommend it to every Race simmer. All you need is a TH2GO Adapter (€250) and three 19inch screens (€600). In my case its three 22inch.

Any other LFS driver with this setup? Show a Picture!

LFS gives the best experience in this than any other Sim I play, in NASCAR Racing 2003 it is still totally awesome, but you dont see much more of the track, and in GPL you have thick borders at the top and bottom of the screen, so LFS gives the ultimat immersion.

Quote from frankwer :

LFS dudes are welcome to write anything about LFS if they dont include the usual bashing of other racesims in their articles.

No one's bashing. There must be a good LFS Writer out there who could add some stuff about LFS to ASS. ASS is not only about new Mods.

Due to its popularity and depth of the Sim it deserves a regular place in that Magazin.

What about the Gear Change Indicator, the small Red light. The Gear Change light should only be in cars that have them like Formula cars or GTR cars (not sure about GTR tho), not in Road cars.

Thats good to hear. The difference between the Wheel and the Ingame Wheel is very important. The Physics in a Sim can be as good as they want but only to a certain point when the input is lagging.
Most of the lag will be from the Hardware, wonder if the Wheel producers have improved there Hard and Software to keep the lag as low as possible.

I'm still having disconnects every couple of minutes cant race, have to sort out my Provider Probs

Quote from BuddhaBing :

... including their staff.

Does Car & Driver rely on their readership to submit articles about, say, Mercedes-Benz while their in-house staff write article after endless article about every other manufacturer in the market? Does F1 Magazine call on their readership to submit articles about Renault F1 while packing their magazine full of fluff pieces about all the other teams? No, of course not; the idea is ludicrous.

The fact that AutoSimSport does not cover LFS is entirely a conscious decision on their part. They have staff writers; they have editorial staff. If they truly wanted to provide LFS coverage, they would devote staff resources to doing so. They haven't. Read into that what you will.

Please keep in mind that this AutoSimSport Online Magazine is not like any company you mentioned, it is not like any Magazine you could buy at a Shop.

This Magazine is for free, written by people like you and me who share the same hobby and write something about it, they simply do not have writers and Articles for Live for Speed. Do you want some GTR2 or rFactor Fanboy writing about Live for Speeds Physics for example? The best people to write about LFS are in the LFS community.

Quote from Dajmin :

I can appreciate that it does look like lack of effort on their part, but I do think you need community input to publicise something like this. It's easy enough to stumble upon GTR2 stuff because it'll have a massive PR budget, but indie products are always harder to push into the limelight.

It would take so many employees to cover every single 'sim' on the market that I don't think it's unreasonable to ask the community for help. Especially since (as I've said before) the LFS community has the reputation of being very exclusive and keeps itself to itself - we don't mind, but it's not good for promotion.

I said last time that I'd like to be able to do these kind of articles, but I'm not sure I'm qualified Also, as was also said the last time, LFS is the odd one out in the above list because it's not even close to being considered finished. Is it fair to promote something that's likely to change quite a lot before release?

It would be nice if you could write something. I think it is fair to promote something that isnt finished yet, because alot of things in Live for Speed are more finished than in other Sims.

The Reader should be kept aware that Live for Speed is work in Progress, but nevertheless its worth buying it already, to get a Sim that is more finished than other things currently on the Market.

AutoSimSport is the most popular Online Racing Simulation Magazine in the World. Thousands of readers every month.

Live for Speed is the most popular Online Racing Simulation in the World. Thousand drivers Racing it every day.

LFS got more people Racing Online than any other Simulation.

So why do these things not find together? Why do we have 40 pages in ASS about GTR2, 20 pages about rFactor, 10 pages about GPL and 0 pages about LFS?

Simply, there is nobody who wants to write Articles about LFS. Alot of people who race other Sims have no idea about LFS superb tyre physics, they look down on LFS as it looks like an Arcade Game on first sight, most people do not know LFS got tyre flex for example.

If you can write and are interested in doing so just for once, or regularly, for the interest and benefit of Live for Speed please consider writing Articles about LFS.

It can be anything, you could describe what the LFS Physics do, what does make LFS unique and how does it differ to other Sims, you can write an overview about the Leagues that LFS has, you can write about the latest Test Patch Progress, you can write about some great Race like the 24 hours Race last Week, you can write about everything that is interesting to you.

Alot of people in the Racing Simulation Community have never heard of LFS, alot of people think it looks like an Arcade Game. So if you got the will to write something, please do so, AutoSimSport would like to publish more Articles about LFS, if only they would get something from us. So please think about it.

:rock_band

Thanks alot Niels very interesting.

So what is the conclusion of all of this - how can one decrease the lag between steering wheel and ingame wheel, what are the important settings to keep the lag as low as possible?

We had a severe storm in disrupting phone and internet :bananadea thanks tombarlin for making the planning. Sign me up for tommorrow, hope everything goes good I'm having constant disconnects

Thanks for saying that already, we could possibly end with a 10 car field. AndroidXP how about you joining?

That was fun even from the back of the Grid, thanks to tombarlin and the Redline Servers and everyone for showing up.

I was satisfied with my lap time in the Qualy, but not with the Position Man that LX4 is a tricky car, but exciting at the same time. I went to the toilet after the Qualy, and came back to late for the Race, I felt what Robbie Williams must have felt like in that "Supreme" Video Than I started out of the Pits and still had a enjoyable time, hope we can repeat that!

Congrats to AndroidXP, amazing Pace and consistency, and he was driving H-Shifter and Clutch Pedal so Kudos to him

Have a nice day

Did you try EnditAll2? Its a small program closing all programs running in the Background. Perhaps there is something installed on your PC that brakes down the Performance everynow and then?
