Hm, you may be right

AFAIK only mods can see infractions, I've seen a lot of warnings from mods because they gave infractions to someone and I didn't see it displayed.

I'm making a sound pack, so far I made new sounds for the road cars and single seaters, please try it and let me now what do you think. Thanks.

Sound pack thread.

I've updated the first post with the new version of the sound pack.

Hungary, Győr Not too far from Canada

Quote from DJ TimmY :

Do you have the latest Flash player installed for Firefox? It works fine here in FF.

Really great! Thank you! Keep up the good work!

Quote from mcintyrej :

So don't you think that the aspect rations were to blame for my driver failures?

Thats not the answer I was hoping for.

I use two monitors, a Samsung 757MB (CRT,1360x1024@75Hz) and a LG 194WT widescreen (LCD,1440x900@60Hz) without problems so you shouldn't have any problems either.

A few shots I made today, I wanted to do more but didn't have time.

Compressed, JPG versions:

Shot_2
Shot_3
Shot_4
Shot_5
Shot_6

PNG versions:

Shot_2
Shot_3
Shot_4
Shot_5
Shot_6

Edit: Shot number 1 removed, replaced by shot 6, added PNG versions.

Quote from BullHorn :

I guess he just doesn't know what he's talking about. All i'm looking for is a usb plug, right?

Yes, Logitech made drivers for DFP so you won't have any problems using it on PC. I have a DFP for almost 3 years now and it works perfectly well.

Quote from BullHorn :

Interesting... Ordered a DFP from an online shop and then some dude called me and asked me if the ps3 version is ok and that the don't have a ps2 version.

What is he on about?

Logitech made a wheel for GT5, it's based on the DFP as far as I know.

Quote from BullHorn :

What's the difference between the two? Can i use the ps3 version on pc?

There is only one kind of DFP which is compatible with PS2, PS3 and PC.

Quote from Technique :

NZ, what kind of setup do you have?

I have an AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 1GB RAM and Ati Radeon 9800 Pro. I can only make 2x AA screenshots at max res(2048x1536) so I use a few smaller screenshots and autostitch to make a bigger picture.

Quote from Victor :

heh, if you're going that huge, feel free to mail 'uncompressed' to our lfstech address. Or if that hits your own email limit, let me know and we'll figure something out. Maybe best to post previews here first though.

about your edit - yeah i think that's ok. As long as the stitches are seamless and as long as it's a good shot
Though I must say i'm not sure if very wide pics will be useful for print. So try to keep the ratio's between 4:3 and 16:10

Thanks for the quick reply, as I said this was just a quick test. I'll make some more print friendly and better pictures tomorrow. When I have some good screenies I'll post the previews here and if you approve I'll send the full versions in e-mail. Hm, I should use the computers at work to make the pictures, it would speed up the process considerably

Just a quick test, highly compressed to fit the 1.95 MB upload limit. I'll upload some better pictures tomorrow after I got home from work.
Edit: The picture was made with autostitch so it's edited in a way but only to merge the smaller pictures from LFS, is this allowed?

Quote from Becky Rose :

Your clearly too young to remember the Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungarori....

... sorry I feel asleep earlier whilst typing that.

AFAIK there was a "race" here last year and there will be a GP this year too. But I agree with you, the Hungarian GP should be much more exciting to watch but they would have to build a new track for that .

Uh, Kovalainen straight into the wall..

I can only say: :jawdrop:

I like it very much! The highres version goes right into my LFS video collection. Thanks for sharing!

Quote from JO53PHS :

Well, Im only sawing what he said

IIRC Scawen said that about patch W, X and Y. If you read the news archive you see that there weren't any multiplayer incompatible patches other than Patch X. Probably patch Z will be physics incompatible. But this is offtopic here.

OT:

Quote from JO53PHS :

AFAIK, The devs do a Compatible patch, a Multiplayer incompatible patch and then a physics incombatible patch.

So even if the devs were planning on doing better damage soon, its at least 3 patches away

LFS devs released only one multiplayer incompatible patch, version 0.5X. All other official patches were compatible or physics incompatible.

/OT

Y16 is working fine so far. Thanks Scawen.

Except on servers which have FCV (Forced Cockpit View) enabled.

Quote from Storm_Cloud :

An old team mate of mine made a H gate gear selector using Meccano and a screwdriver for the stick.

Hehe, nice

Currently I'm building the second version of my H-gate shifter but I didn't want to build it from Lego because I don't have so much Lego and I want a shifter that can take punishment and feels similar to a real car so my shifter is made from metal. I hope I'll be able to use it in the Wednesday LX race.

Quote from fragile_dog :

But that would put everyone with out a clutch pedal at a pretty major disadvantage, button clutch its either full on or off, no control over it really.

As I said in the most recent clutch thread I use manual clutch all the time, even when I'm racing with mouse and keyboard and I never had any problem. You don't need a lot of clutch control to race, you can pull away or change gears perfectly with a button clutch after a little practice.

Most manufacturers don't sell independent pedals. If you find one that does please tell me, one of my teammates might be interested.
Here is what I did. I built a 3rd pedal from LEGO(don't laugh) and used a very cheap USB joystick's circuit and one of the pots for the pedal. If you can obtain a second pedal set and a cheap USB joystick you can do the same as I did, you just don't have to build the pedals. I'm sure you can find some cheap things in Tesco(IIRC you have Tesco in UK)
