I'd like to see ONE car whell done instead of a lot with so many things to do yet.
I'd rather prefer to drive ONE with no aero issues, but complete, with oil heating, brake waste, and etc.
Schummaker was a F1 driver for so many years. I don't think he would change a perfect car for a dozen of Minis, Karts and F3.
There are so many things to do until LFS reach the final S2 stage, and I really don't believe that a lot of half-made cars is a need.
But, once that Scawen doesn't model the cars, but Erik, in my vision I consider that it would be very more interesting and important to improve the tracks, specially with more tracks , and if has free time, a more detailed landscape and trackside objects.
Of course everybody has a wish list, and this is the most reviewed topic in this forum, but this is not a wish list, it is just a priority over the car's quantity question.
It will never be realistic to see any painted face... BTW there are some players that modify their helmets in LFS, giving to them a head format, and sure, that look disgusting.
Games like GTR and rFactor have this ridiculous feature.
And I do not prefer personalized faces too, cause we use to play against kids, and sure I don't want to see their faces when driving... I prefer do not distract myself laughing about them when drive in competition mode.
Well, this is a preference question. I vote for the current format
My post is not a sugestion, I guess, it is a sugestion, but for other games.
It is about how good is the way the LFS does the immersion with black visor solution.
I think other games should follow the same format.
A black visor permits you to see the other pilot as you want.
When a game uses to paint a mask on a ball, you got a doll, not a human pilot. Doing the thing like LFS does, you have better immersion, and better replays too.
It does not matter if you are black, white, or have a big nose, whatever, you see you there, cause there are no face in that model.
I think this is the best solution and hope scavier does never change this feature.
One thing, between many others that afixes me to LFS is the impressive immersion of multiplayer experience.
When a pilot by your side turn the head to you, the mp experience is carried to its limit, but one the most important thing there, is that the other pilot has no face, no traces, it is just a helmet and it can be anyone your mind figures, like read a book without pictures.
This thing works in the same way when you watch a replay, so you see yourself in that car, not a toy, not a doll, not a stupid frozen mannequin.
That is a lesson that should be learned by the others developers, a lesson of simplicity and economy, immersion and solution.
That brings a better simulation, against the arcade-like sensation of those ridiculous faces present in other simulators like GTR, RF, RBR, NKP and others.
A piece of inteligence, a good thing that should be followed
We are about to redo all our league regulations, and one thing is about to the start grid. At the beginning of the championship season, in the first race, we have a normal qualify. In the following races, in the next weeks, from second one to the last, the start grid will be the inversion of the last race results. We can do this ordering to the pilots to join in the sequence we want, but this is something hard-working, time-consuming, and not too beautiful to watch :-) An idea we had (and we don't know if it has been suggested before, sorry) is we've had a script where we previously put the names of the all pilots in the order we want to they start, then in the race we run that scrip with a single command just before the restart, or combined with, something like "/restart grid1". The program should organize the grid following the script sorting, ignoring the names which are not present at the server. Regards :-) Silvio Camolesi
Since patch U (dont know the number) I lost my FFB. The wheel is dead, there are resistance but not live one, just a weight, no FFB. I guess that it is about new patches, once there are no problem with other sims like rf and gtl.
I've got 2 wheels working together, one is Logitech Momo (using the wheel), and the other is a Force GP Logitech (using the pedals).
I tried everything, clean the registry, reinstall the profiler, reconnect the wheels sequentialy, but nothing solves the problem.
I read somewhere about .con files and I'd like to know how to procedure with them, what I should do.
I'd like to have 3 wheels plugged in my pc (actually I have), the third one is a Formula GP Logitech (the yellow wheel), and I intend to use its pedals as clutch and neutral.
As I said, I use this configuration before, and had no problems, and I still use with other games and I have no problems.
I need a real help with this. I have contacted Victor via email, but he couldn't help me yet
Any idea about .con files, or where would be the problems?
I've always had this kind of problem, sometimes the FFb does not work, but it always back to normal after shift+C, or clicking no and yes in ffb option in the controls screen.
This time nothing solves the problem.
I've got a Logitech MOMO and a Logitech Force plugged each one in a USB port, and this kind of combination has never been a problem.
Now I tried to reinstall the Profiler driver, run ClrCalib,.exe to clean the registry, try a new instalation of LFS, but nothing happens and I stay without FFB.
After one and an half year of LFS, all this time using FFB wheels, it is not to easy to get used with the new situation.
I'll be in a league race in 2 hours, without trainny, without ffb... and without chances to keep my FZR on the track
Any chance to someone here give a solution for this case?
You can't find a unique server running original cars and tracks, cause the original cars are crap, and original tracks are not that good.
To be up to date with rFactor is a regular exercise of download mods, tracks, patches of the mods, patches of the patches, and even yet you are not guaranteed free from mismatches.
The community is small and divided between mods, classes, cars.
How people can touch the heaven and even yet chose the hell?
How people can feel the warm but prefer the cold?
How people can taste the honey and swallow the bile?
How people can try LFS and play rFactor?
The replay you send me was evaluated and surely there are no excuses to the terrible behavior from those guys.
The replay has been posted in our forum and the reaction has been variable in accordance with the relationship with the subjects and their ages.
Some people here are kids yet, not the case of this guy that are around 18+, but this kind of behavior does not reflect the general behavior of the brazilian community, be sure. We have greats names here, whith great respect from the LFS international community, such as Mogar, JS, Luiggi, and many others.
I have no power to punish them, but the large exposition in our forum caused a big effect in our community, so we hope facts like won't occur anymore. Of course we have no way to avoid this, and we have no conditions to supervise the kids out there.
When you see a server called Brazil, BR or something like that, be comfortable to come in and play with us. Just ignore that stupid happening, cause that was an isolated case.
