GeForce 6600GT
Driver version 169.21

Alt-tab messes up the mip filtering, everything becomes very grainy / sparkly. The same thing happens when changing resolution. ??Shift-F4 doesn't do it unless I deactivate the window. ??
I can get it to look like I originally set it by selecting None, 1X or 2X. 4X, 8X or 16X do nothing.

Could this have something to do with lfs losing focus?

Maybe besides the point, but I noticed with earlier versions of LFS that antialiasing did not work unless i switched resolutions back and forth.

edit: attached screenshots: when i alt-tabbed with the settings in the first shot, nothing changed. the last two shots show a "before and after" shots. (yes i made everything as blurry as possible to emphasize the change)

+1 for more controls

well duh!

They're great straight out of the freezer

thanks for the tip

I agree with OP

+1 For some kind of adjustable fisheye lens thing great idea!


Sorry for offtopic, but the "woosh" effect has to do with nearby objects reflecting (your own) car sound back to you, not just doppler. So as I understand it, it is an echo sort of.

Quote from Juls :

The one-person-development-team is the most fragile structure ever. As I wrote before, no growth is more dangerous than growth (always risky too).

I write that because I care, not because I want everything at once. Look how many racing simulators died....there are bodies all over the road, not even cold.

A valid point.

Also i don't see how an extra graphics guy or sound guy would compromise the quality of development.

+1 for folders and/or filtering

Lately I have been using only one all around setup per car. It has helped me be consistent.

You canot compare killing a dog for by the fun of it with the food industry.
Of course it`s some shitty stuff going on in that aswell, but they canot be compared.

Both things happen for our pleasure. They are unnecessary cruelty

Quote from DeMS :

I would rather prefer it to be as following :

On-line races :
Indicators enabled/disabled via server configuration

Off-line races :
Indicators enabled/disabled by user EXCEPT on hot lap mode, where all should be turned off

This way, people would choose the server that fits their skill level the most, and would solve some other trouble as well.

Rather than an indicator of engine damage, I would prefer to see some smoke when the radiator is blown or some analogue effect that would tell me that the thing ain't going fine.

To complete it all, it would be a nice touch if after the race, you would get a report of what has failed or what degree of damage did every/most/most important parts of the car get, to improve people's driving.

mexican breakfast: a glass of water and a cigarrette

yeah but it was a magic sword

This would be a great improvement indeed.

Each viewport could have separately adjustable lod settings.

And why limit the settings to just 3 viewports, i think it would be rather trivial to implement any number of viewports with the same code.

TrackIr / Freetrack could be combined with this..

How about a rear view with a projector pointing backwards.. talk about immersion!

An idea for OP's point #3: adjustable perspective distortion (like keystone correction?) would allow you to mount the display parallel to your windshield. This kind of adjustable distortion/correction would make the angled 3-screen setups show the correct view.

...it would be super impractical, but one could sort of achieve this with current options by using several computers (and several connections to server) by spectating yourself and setting custom views.

obviously you have wrong file format. could be the compression thing
save your sound as mono 16bit 44khz PCM

the samples have a size limit AND a length limit. compressing will not help, you have to cut them shorter in duration. the short samples are very difficult to get looping seamlessly, good luck with that..

Quote from smokenyall :

but in v i coulda swarn it was like that.

it was, but thats not how it works irl, so it changed

that is the way it is supposed to work. do you want the gear to stay engaged even after the stick returns to center???

pics please

as most drivers don't care about racing fairly, i recommend xfg. it is more resistant to ramming.

i mostly drive xrg though..

turn off the on-screen wheel, duh

most likely a busted potentiometer in throttle pedal.

awesome!

perhaps one day lfs will have a proper rally car..
