It's not been a while since I get back on PS.
Yes, I'm working on a "motec"-ish cluster... it wouldn't bother me too much to make it looks as LED-bar*.
But unfortunatly, it's still unfinished yet, since it's not really that easy to do this within the boundaries of this mod as it is now.
(e.g. you cant use digital display for fuel/turbo yet).

'still hope someone would be kind enough to put some more work in the .dll.

*I'll post some screens later.

Since this kind of question come back each time someone can't search a bit in the 2 threads available about this addon.
So...it would be nice if a mod would mind to find a way to sticky this:

How to install:

-Place d3d8.dll in your root LFS folder (maybe you will have to replace an existing one).

-Create a new folder called Gauges also in the root folder.

-Place the gaugesxxx folder included in the folder you just created (where xxx is the 3 letters of the car you want them to work with).

-Some packs contains additionals fonts that you need to put in your ...\windows\fonts folder.

-Paste these lignes over the ones you have at the end of your cfg.txt (make a backup).

OutGauge Mode 2
OutGauge Delay 1
OutGauge IP 127.0.0.1

About the Honda, there's some in the analog gauges threads (alpha/1.0).

Quote from Zen321 :

(...)except the MRT and the FBM & FOX(...).

Usually, because of the engine weight, the track that carry the engine need to be stiffer... (...irl) if you refer to lfs setups, this may sometimes help to balance the handling...

...Place the gauges folder(s) in LFS root.
It should look like this (e.g. with XFG) :

LFS root folder\Gauges\GaugesXFG.

edit: back on gauges...

These are loosely inspired on mazda cx9.
Could be used with most of the cars.

Watch the replay, say it all....

Thanks for sharing... & nice work.

I agree, this kind of systems is not common yet.
This is initially used to slow trains.
It can be used in a car, where it helps to gain space in the underframe ...

I know this is useless but it's for info:
Some cars have their e-brake working on front wheels (ex:citroen xantia, old saab 900)...

Quote :

Many racing cars have hydraulic handbrake, but on street cars they're not usual.

Some cars (usually early models) have magnetic e-brake.

How was it possible to set negative values to LFS?[...]Is that the Speed Hack ?[...]

Back in S1 (old one), yes...
Don't ask me, I don't know how it work in details.
I'm all for separate settings as before, but not until setups get some kind of protection against these exploits.

Quote from Shadowww :

[...]we dont see test patches

Seeing no test patches doesn't mean the developement stops...
Ever heard about what is a beta-tester?

This said, Void made a very good post about what is going on...
Patience is the answer...

If my memory's right it was removed because it ends as an exploit...
Using a negative e-brake value gave you some kind of "nawz"....
:chairs:

Remember pre-S2 ?
Pre-purchase began about 10 month before it release...

I'll second the "very long long, long time".

Right handed.

Never drove anything else than LHD vehicles...could be an epic fail to try RHD....

Quote from G!NhO :

i dont think they will like it, because they have many other things to do...

If someone else do the job, there's no reasons for devs to loose most of their times on it.

I'm in.

Just to my 0.001€ more:

America complain about gas price,...just have a look at what you get in your tank with 20€ here (actually it cost us about 50€ for 40 L)...

edit:
To Nighthawk: average roads in US looks almost like highways compared to where I live... & I don't live in the lost country...
Our roads are not always that smooth... plus having a large SUV/sedan to drive here ends in some nightmares...not to mention I always laugh hard when I cross bigger (& heavier) cars having troubles on thick roads...

Have a look @ earlier pages, there should be one (or look in Engine Sound Sharing).

There is torque loss with cvt/auto (due to slip factor), engine braking is weaker, fuel consumption is worst...well... apart for people with handicap, could someone tell us what's the benefit when you can use your legs & feet as a normal person do?

Please dont tell its easier to drive in traffic jam, there's none on a race track...

What kind of Elise does this?
