We should forgive him this time, it's an older version probably

Quote from St4Lk3R :

whats even more, they still are getting updated. just compare the little leo from the first pic, the last pic and the video

and this, kids, is what I call proper education

That's the proper education

Quote from Riders Motion :

Some are nice, some aren't. The XRT sounds like a weak little girl now. Just pointing out and hope to see an improvement. Good start anyway.

Thanks for the input. Creating sounds is tricky because everybody has different sound systems, and it can sound totally different on another system.

Quote from Clarity :

are there any demo car sounds? or all S2s?

The complete list of updated sounds: BF1, FBM, FO8, FOX, FXO, FZ5, LX4, LX6, MRT, RAC, RB4, UF1, XFG, XRG, XRT.

Hi!

This is an experimental sound pack, I am constantly trying to improve the sounds but sometimes things don't work out as expected, it might sound good on my system while sounding totally bad on another, so please test this sound pack and give me some feedback. Please include what type of sound system do you have and what kind of EQ settings (if any) do you use. Thanks.

In this version I added GTR sounds, the rest of the sounds are the same as in v0.5.

Here is the updated version: v0.51

Apart from that, clutch needed for the first gear (which is sadly not simulated in lfs yet) and for downshifting when it's wet...

I can't shift into 1st gear without clutch.

Quote from Rooble :

Ok I've updated it to Y.

Ciao.

Thanks!

Quote from AProst :

With a best time of 1:46.190 on AS3 you should better shut your mouth than trying to give lessons.

AProst, you did 22952 laps on AS3 with FZR, what was your PB at your 16th lap?

LFS is fine with mouse. I've driven LFS with mouse for 3 years before I bought my DFP and with a little practice any car in LFS can be controlled with mouse.

The mirrors on XRG, XRT and XRR are not perfect, this bug is there since X10 IIRC.

Quote from STROBE :

I managed to decipher your lapses of txt spk into real words, and came to the following conclusion.

Get a paper round. Or wash some cars. Or get a job. Or anything that will earn you the money for S2. Having an XRT isn't some kind of divine right.

...and you only have to buy S1 to use XRT.

Quote from JTbo :

I think this is brilliant idea, you are actually emulating a bit of what we do IRL when looking speedo near 'safety' cameras, we focus on certain area

Those that don't know how to do this, with Logitech profiler software select button and record command, t /FOV 65 and hit enter key lastly, then stop recording, that will set FOV to 65 in LFS. You need to have profile created for LFS too.
You can use quick message keys too if you don't use Logitech profiler, for example F4 key you just type /FOV 65 instead of good race.

You don't need Logitech Profiler to assign a command to a button in LFS. Look at the picture.

Quote from viper-2007 :

Hi i am new to lfs i am only a demo racer at the mo but getting an s2 licence for x-mas look forward to racing you all and 1 question i have a driving force pro and wondering if this is anygood for this game

You are using the full game you just can't access all the content so if your DFP doesn't work in demo mode it won't work in S2 mode. Probably you set it up wrong. I use my DFP for more than 2 years in LFS without a problem.

I didn't see the speedo well either and got some penalties in the pit lane so I assigned a button to switch to a lower FOV and another button to switch it back. Probably as time goes on I will use it less and less.

I know it's not an outstanding video but some comments would be nice .

Quote from Cue-Ball :

Ah! Thanks for that. I looked down below where it was before, but didn't notice that it had simply moved.

But the clutch behavior is still funky.

I didn't find it at first either .
I agree on the clutch thing, I think it's a lot easier in a real car but there you can feel every little movement of the car and that makes it easier too.

Quote from Cue-Ball :

...
I've also noticed that calibration lock disappeared from the setup menu (this is X31. I dunno about X30 since I never checked). If you previously had your calibration locked and you just installed the patch over your old setup, I don't see any way to un-lock those settings.

It's there, see attachment

Quote from uttoro :

+1 here!

May I have a question for the club-mates?

What FOV do you use for a 17' CRT@1024x768? I dont care about my exact speed, but like to know: between 80-100 or 100-120? And of course would like to see the needle reaching 80, or not.

60° - It seems to be the ideal for most car, I can read everything except RAC, but got used to 85° - I cant feel the car moving.

What do you suggest?

If I remember correctly I used to use 97° on my 17" CRT.

I'm in too

Quote from Cue-Ball :

Are the AI drivers supposed to pit for anything other than fuel and tires? I'm running a race around South City with 9 AI drivers right now. One hit the wall and damaged his suspension, but rather than pitting he's continuing to limp around the track, causing pileups and generally being a rolling road block.

Are the AI supposed to pit for damage or retire if it gets bad enough? Is this planned for post-Alpha?

My FO8 AI just kept going with deflated rear tyres and damaged suspension.

Quote from farcar :

Cool, but how does that make it disappear from my server list?

Maybe you can filter them in Patch Y as you can filter hosts with reset enabled.

Quote from AndroidXP :

Next step: complete 3 pedal H-gate shifter FF wheel build with Lego Technic.

I will build an H-gate shifter but I don't have enough Lego so I will probably use more conventional materials to build it

Quote from George Kuyumji :

Before I had TSW Pedals I used one set of MOMO Pedals and one set of some old Thrustmaster Pedals, in combination you have 4 pedal axes then, but it works flawlessly in most Sims.



You build a third pedal with Lego Technic??? Nice!! Got any pics of it?

My USB IrDA port died, so I can't upload pictures from my phone, I'll try to get a camera and take some pictures.

I think we will have something like this with cruise servers:
