The is only one version of S2. But there are various patches, the latest of which is patch X. More specifically "0.5X10". On the LFS home screen (where it says Trainint, Multiplayer, Single Player etc) what does it say version does it say at the bottom of the screen?

I'm buying an S2 licence for a Christmas present and was thinking it would be a good idea to have a printable gift voucher to give to the lucky recipient of the S2 licence code! I'm no good at graphics or I'd draw one up. I was thinking of something like the S2 licence card on the lfs.net homepage when you log in (which I'll bodge something together from that for mine, but the resolution is low). A little job for Eric, or someone on the forum with some graphics skills maybe...

It needn't contain the code iteself (although that would be even better), but would just be good to have something physical to give as a gift. And it might just swing another sale or two!!

Slightly off-topic, sorry but I'm buying an S2 licence for a Christmas present too and was wondering if anyone has a template for a kind of gift certificate or racing licence to put in the card? I knocked something up based on the S2 licence you see on the lfs.net homepage, but was just wondering if anyone has done anything a bit smarter? Would just be a bit better that giving a scrap of paper with some letters and numbers on it for Christmas!

LFS is still compatible, I was using it with my MOMO Red until a few weeks ago. Not sure what version of the Logitech Software i was running, but it's the latest one.

Edit: I take it you're using Patch X?

I think I've seen my LFS cfg file reset when I've adjusted the settings while the game was running. So make sure the game isn't loaded when you change them. Other than that I'm not sure what's wrong I'm afraid.

What do you mean by "everything dissapears"? Does your cfg fle reset to how it was before you made the changes, or does is the file empty?

You have changed the "OutGauge Port" to 56551 in the cfg.txt in your LFS directory?

Quote from JTbo :

If new car is FV1, then it is Fast Vanish 1st

But if it is BF2, Be fast 2ndly ... eh

The new car is the FBM

Thanks for your comments. I had a play around with it and it seems that the noise is coming from the wheel itself (behind the leather). I guess maybe the wheel is plastic and the components are moving against each other. I guess I'll just have to live with it.

It's a great wheel but the build quality isn't as good as the MOMO Red.

Quote from Blackout :

What astonishes me is the fact that nobody has make big fuzz about the fact that LFS and the FBMW are going to be featured on TV next year. I don't know what channel is that on, but it's still free air time for LFS!

Just what I was thinking. I had a hunt around earlier, all I could find was this but you need a password to get in:

Wow, LFS is full of surprises - a new single seater - fantastic! Can't wait to give it a go around the new Blackwood... excellent work Scawen and Eric!

Great work wsinda, keep it up! Love the dashboard view!

That is exactly what i was looking for! I never thought to look in the programmer's forum. Will see if I can get it working. Thanks!

I got mine from Dabs:

http://www.dabs.com/ProductLis ... ionKey=0&SearchType=1

£148.81 delivered at the moment, but the prices fluctuate a little and they have had a few free delivery weekends recently, which could save you £7. You can get 3% cashback through quidco.com too if you use that.

I was wanting to do the same thing. Try mates@track. In the free version you can only have 5 mates but it's only 7 euros for the pro version, which is unlimited. It's great for seeing when and where your teammates are online too.

The only thing is you can't copy and paste from the screen output, so you have to use a screen ripper, like SnagIt. But according to the author, you will be able to copy the text directly in the next version.

The other way might be to use a script to get data from LFSW, but I'm not sure how to do that.

Well I haven't tried it with a PCI card parallel port so can't say for sure. I hope so because when I buy a new PC next year I'll need to try it. I think Kada and others may have used one, so that they don't risk damaging the PC if something goes wrong, so I think it would work. Maybe Kada can say for sure?

It's a great combo this. Looks like being a really tight race too. I think we have 6 or 7 drivers with PBs all with a second. If you havn't raced in a league before come and have a go!

Looks sweet! Good work.

Hi all, another newbie to the scene.

The first thing I noticed upon loading up the demo is that I need a new rig, this one is about 4 years old now with only moderate upgrades to the graphics card and sound, and they're not recent.

I'm having issues calibrating my Logitech Momo to the sim atm, everything lined up in the calibration tests, but on track the wheel needs to be at 110 deg approx to steer straight. Also my peddles can't be calibrated to different axis, any idea why that is? I've clicked on the seperate button, but to no avail.

I'd also like to give a big thumbs up to Sim Racing Tonight, if it wasn't for those guys, I'd be completely unaware that Live For Speed exists.

How do I pay for these?
It's a nice change that a company is not ramming promotions and offers down my throat,quite the opposite, I want this premium service and can't find it!
Can anyone show me a link?
Thanks.


Yes I have searched.......

Thanks Deko! Was that you overtaking on the outside of the oval at KY Nat then?

The racing in this series is so good it wasn't hard to find some great footage to use.

Qualifying is 20 minutes. 5 minutes for FOXs only followed by 15 minutes for both classes. So the race usually ends just before 11pm BST. When the clocks go back it will start an hour earlier (8pm GMT)as the race time is set in GMT, so please come and give it a try then if it's too late at the moment.

This issue has been raised by some European racers before, so it may be that the start time is changed for next season.

As Gentlefoot says this a really great series which I would thoroughly recommend. There’s a great atmosphere between drivers and the racing is really clean. The length of the race is a real challenge too, requiring pit stops and plenty of concentration, which adds to the tactical element of racing which you don’t generally get in the short races on public servers.

There’s a good spread of experience too so anyone can join and have a good race. I started as league n00b but my driving has improved rapidly and now I’m fairly competitive. Some of the best single seater drivers in LFS are involved too, so there are some great drivers to learn from. In fact 2 world records have been broken in the course of the season.

Only a few drivers have managed to complete the majority of races too, so there’s still a chance of a decent championship position.

Hope to see some new faces at Westhill in 2 weeks time, you won't regret it!

Thanks Did you leave it at 60fps then or did you somehow convert it again back to 30fps? 60fps would be too high becasue I want to post it on the web once I'm done, and obviously most vierwers wouldn't benefit from a frame rate above 30fps anyway.

EDIT: I suppose I could do what Gratrix suggested in post 243 and just re-record the footage at 14fps and then follow the suggestion above but at 30fps as that would also probably result in a smoother video as my PC struggles a bit with lots of cars in the race. Shame as it means I'll have to re-shoot everything but if it works then that's what I'll do.

I'm trying to make my first movie but I can't get Virtualdub to double the frame rate. I followed the instruictions in the first post, recording with fraps at 30fps playing the replay at 0.5X speed. In virtualdub I select process every other frame and hit F7 but it just saves the clip unchanged, still at 0.5X. If anyone has any ideas why it's doing this I'd be really grateful.
