Congrats! I'm happy that we have another great guy in S2.

I recommend Richard Burns Rally, it's a little hard but very rewarding.

Edit: Slow..

When I'm racing on public servers with people I don't know I usually turn on names above cars but when I'm racing with teammates on our server I don't need it.

I find it strange that the first thing that is always brought up regarding damage in car games that manufacturers don't allow it. But Forza 2 has damage (NFS4-5 had damage, even Pro Street has), so obviously Forza and NFS devs "convinced" the manufacturers. I don't believe that the car manufacturers are the main cause of the lack of damage in todays car games.

One of my friends has a weapon shop(family business), they sell guns and bows. I visited my friend there a few times and he showed me the weapons but I never felt that I need a gun. In Hungary there are some pretty strong restrictions about guns anyway so it is possible I wouldn't get permit to have a gun even if I wanted to.

I played with all GTA versions from the start and it was great fun. I hope they release GTA IV to PC and I really hope that its hardware requirements are not too high because I don't want to upgrade my PC in the near future.

Welcome!

I had some time to work on sounds, the updated version is in the first post.

Quote from aoun :

I know this has been posted often before, ive seen it before too. So before you flame me, just letting you know i tried searching this for a good 5-10mins but no luck, so if anyone could just direct me to it, much appreciated!

What I'm after is a birds eye view of a curcuit in full. Not just the line of the track, but an actual shot taking HIGH HIGH above from the track.

If someone can direct me to the pictures or how to do it, it would help.

Thanks alot

I think you need this or if you want to do it yourself you need Live for Speed Camera Hack.

I've been playing LFS since one of the first public demo versions in 2002. Unfortunately I don't have as much time for LFS as I'd like.

Quote from Jakg :

But I thought Patch Y is the suck?

Of course it "is the suck", that's why he needs the tweak to make it not the suck

Quote from Fuse5 :

...
It has been a 3-man effort.( who aren't exactly hardcore game designers/coders with decades of experience.)
It is actually quite amazing what our devs have done, starting from nothing with nothing and being so far already.

...

That's not quite true, the devs have plenty of experience in game design and coding.

Quote from brewerdc :

Thanks! Was this recently added? I haven't played LFS in about a year or so.

It was added in Patch Y, end of last year.

Quote from brewerdc :

Hey guys,

Anyone know of an addon that displays the theoretical best line around the track?

Similar to whats on this video at 4:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b26HuguLwFI

I find this would be helpful for myself and many other beginners.

Any ideas?

You can display the best line in LFS by pressing 4. You can only use this on a server which doesn't have FCV (Forced Cockpit View) enabled.

*lays in bed and logs into router wirelessly*

Works here.

Even works if i log into a router connected to a wireless access point which i'm connected to.

That depends on the router and its settings.

Quote from dave81983 :

Thanks for the suggestion. I was using the XR GT so it should hav worked but I have tried most of them.

Any other ideas???

Hm, do you use the clutch when you are trying to shift? (I know, stupid question but I don't have any other ideas right now) Check if LFS recognizes your keypresses at the controls/shifter screen.

Quote from dave81983 :

Hello All,

Hopefully someone can help me. I have just built and H-shifter (using a wingman ffb joystick) and am trying to make it work in LFS. I have it working in rFactor so all of the basics are there. I have selected the shifter option in LFS and have configured the keys that I want to use to register keystorkes, the problem is LFS is not recognising it. It is not a problem with the FF shifter programmer either because even when I press the keys on my keyboard LFS does not shift into the correct gear and just stays in neutral.

Can anyon help?

In short, I have checked the shifter option in controls and configured my keyboard keys, however when I press those LFS does not change gear?

Thanks.

Make sure you use a car that is equipped with H-shifter in LFS, these are the road cars and FWD GTR-s and FZR if I remember correctly.

Very nice! Keep up the good work!

Bringing up the Ai again

This is a compatible patch to support East Asian languages and brings ingame AF options, so I recommend you to list these AI bugs here.

WTF! i can't see it... "Rights restrictions prevent us from displaying this video content to users outside the UK"

Same here. Bastards.

Quote from harjun :

i think the minimum PC requirements on LFS.net need to be updated, because with that you get around 10fps single player, i dont wanna know what its like full grid...

1 GHz CPU, 128 MB memory, 3D graphics card
Thats minimum requirement

should be something like:
2Ghz+ CPU, 512MB memory, Uptodate graphics card

I built a simple computer for my parents from old parts, Celeron 300@450, 320 MB RAM, Ati Radeon 9200 128 MB. I installed LFS on it and its almost playable in single player on Blackwood (Patch Y) under WinXP SP2.

Quote from Stefani24 :

and in real cars the pedals dont sink in the floor, they come from above (if u know what i mean), other then that it seems to be realistic (the 100m i've driven)

That depends on the car.

Quote from RudiTurbo :

It will always be part of my life, doesnt matter if I'm active or not.

QFT!

Right now I'm busy with other LFS related things like making a sound pack, a video and the second version of my H-shifter, after these are complete I think I'll have motivation to continue racing.
