kerbs in layout objects
Alex_Tiger
S2 licensed
i think it would be nice and useful to have kerbs beside the other objects. most useful for autocross, to help determin better the turn in front and negociate it properly...because lines or barriers does not do the trick it will also be very useful on other tracks .. to help determine a new corner for example... and i dont think it would be very dificult to implement this. 2 or 3 angle variasions, solid object that will be fixd into the ground.

it is a personal opinion though...

i have a problem with the pedals to in lfs and i'm useing v2. didnt post this earlyer because i was uncertain if the pedals wore malfunctioning or its because lfs but now i'm sure. if i hold the gas pedal at half size for example or the break when i'm moveing the indicator just jumps up and down if like my pot is going crazy but the speed is steady and in windows logitech driver when i do the same thing it doesent jump at all. when i am stoped on the other hand this doesent happen anymore. momo wheel, custom build pedals.

Quote from Gunn :The Momo only properly recognises 10k Ohm resistance pots. I put 250K pots and 100k pots in one of my Momos and they still only used a fraction of the range as if the Momo can only handle 10k. I tried calibrating the pots properly but never could use their full range. I believe that only 10k pots can be used with this hardware because I gave up and installed 10k pots (not the default ones either) and all was well again.

well i mentioned in my 1st post that i use 10k pots. before i was useing 100K pots and yes the travel distance was way shorter ..i was only useing half of the pedals travel (on windows controller travel indicator). so 10k pots work best but in my case induce a preaty big deadzone

well the problem ins't resolved but i'm kind of used to it now the pedals are conected through the momo's PCB board but i cant set the distance to be just like on the momo pedals...i tryed dxtweak and dxview but i couldnt tweak anything :P in lfs it is set to lock calibration but its a matter of windows and not lfs. i mean logitech momo thing...with that autocalibration...everytime i plugin the wheel or the adaptor it recalibrates. (so i have to push all axes from min to max. anyway thx all for the help, also the folks over rsc dint found a easy efective solution (btw i made a little movie over there to show the exact problem if u think it will be any help go check it out, thread name si the same).

Custom-build pedals problem (connected to momo black)

i have a full home-made racing sim (except the wheel)witch means h-shifter 6+1 gears with a handbreak and a pair of 3 pedals upside down just like in a real car. acceleration and break is connected to momo racing black wheel and the clutch to another wheel. the problem i have is with the gas and break. i am useing 10k pots just like in momo, wierd just like my momo original pedals. they work great, but its just one problem that is bugging me. there are 2 gaps at each pedal: 1 small gap at the begining of the pedal travel and a big one at the end. the pedal is traveling more then it shows on the screen. of course i ajusted the pedal travel mecanicly but after a recalibration the same thing is happening and its getting smaller and smaller...its just like a default deadzone. i tryed different pot positions (the pots i have travel is about 300degrees witch is long) if i set them to start at the begining, after a recalibration in windows its starting moveing at half of pedal travel, and at the end there is not enough movement in windows. so there is a portion that allows that full travel but implement the gaps too. i made a drawing to try and explain better. hope u can help me out, i dont know what to do anymore.

thx in advance

Quote from SparkyDave :I use "ATI Tray tools" a little app that lets me do all sorts of things with the GFX I have this set to "max quality" this gives me full AA and AF and I have never had the prob you describe above, worth a try?

http://www.google.co.uk/search ... q=ati+tray+tools&meta=


Hope this helps .

SD.

i had att until 4 days ago...and the problems appeard 1 week or so...but it's worth a try, i'll see.

@Joseracer, Well my problem is that i want and need to minimize to desktop...(for starting/stoping winamp, TS, so on) so i dont think the first option would help. And the second i tryd to change the resolution but not with Shift+, i changed to the lowest...then back to max but didnt helpd (but strangly enough 1 time workd). Although..i wil try the Shift+'s and the Att.

Edit: uh....i went to try the solutions but didnt work i tryd Shift+F9 -640x480 and then Shift+F12 1024x768 but nothing). I installd Ati Tray Tools again...i set it to max qulity...and it did the same nothing changed
Darn, its soooo anoying. Without the aa/as lfs looks like an old game runing on a P II.

Quote from Davo :You don't happen to own an ATi card? It's some issue with the drivers.

uh, i do one a radeon 9600series (256mb) . but i have the latest drivers and before i upgraded i had late dec 06 and it did the same, but this started happening only a week ago when i didnt change nothing (i didnt changed the drivers and then it started happening, i had the drivers for sometime, and one day just did this and didnt stop since then)

I allready posted this thread on Bugs-Track and ask for some1 to move it but since no1 bothers and i am running out of time here it goes.(u can delete the hole thread btw-from bugs-tracks)
I have a big problem with antialising and antistropic. look at the images below. It happens when i minimize lfs to windows and then i bring it back...its like it looses aa and as ... i set the video card to full qulity but i dont understand why its doing this...it didnt do this before. any opinions?

(1st is before i click on some windows task, and second is after i go back in lfs. if u dont see any differance, copy the images and then scroll quick through them: back, forth, back,forth, so on, u will see)
i normaly play fullscreen, where it makes the same thing.

Quote from Rooble :The story is as follows (in short)

A user by the name of Tiger something or another wanted money from a fellow team mate of mine, i disagreed (right or wrong I'm not sure) and told him not to pay him. The user by the name of Tiger then started hurling insults at me along the lines of 'f-ing bitch' and 'stfu its not my concern'. So I told him not to speak to me like that because its unacceptable.

Soon to follow MaxH pointed out that I shouldn't tell everyone how to run 'our' server (Whatever that meant?) And that If I didn't 'stfu' id see a ban coming my way shortly.

I only questioned the fact that he refused to deal with Tiger and solely focused on me with the intention of banning me. Very biased might I add, but o well I'm not at loss.


I feel ashamed that Ive even posted this to be completly honest, I now feel petty but very annoyed at the same time o well like i said not my loss

omg, dude are u out of ur mind? now really...when in the world i calld u "bitch"? in fact i didnt use that word for a loong time. i only told u why i wanted ur teammate to pay me and to stay out of it because u didnt know what happend and u jumpd all over and asking who am i to request money. i was talking u or mate not with u so i dont know how it is my fault. i flew 20 seconds(really) because of ur teammate, he bumpd mewhile i was payng the toolboth cauzing me to block the booth, then unpacient he started pushing until lfs went nuts and throw me 999m in the air then bound back at 800m then 500 and so on until i stopd in a fence...it was verry funny really i lmao...but it was unexceptable. i askd him 3 times to pay me a respectable 400Euros..no answers...onyl u were angry with me.after that i sad last time pay that money or ill report this...because i got 2 witnesses who also claimnd him to pay me... then u started the atitude with max witch wasent in a good mood...u WERE haveing an atitude.

just to make things straight i dont know ehre u camed up with me insulting u in anyway the telling u to shut up because it doesent concern u, its not ur case. maybe u read thru lines or something.i was rather calm at that time so...i didnt have a reason to insult u. but if u still want to belive i calld u "Bitch" go ahead.

btw after u got banned ur teammate was a good, responsible guy and payd me that annoubt of money.

i'm glad u got over it now lets end this discusion, insted hope that i or others come up with solutions soon.

im a momo user and i've descoverd this thingy myself. if u stay still in N on a plain raod (tarmac) mostly in gtr cars, and if u turn the wheek left to the max then right max left right left right fast enough u will descover there is a point where it looses forcefeedback. its just 10degrees loose wheel, then it comes back again. i dont think its a momo problem....is rather lfs which can't export to much data to the motor

yesterday after my practise (i was kinda nervous and a bit not in my mood) i went on srv2 to drive a bit. (DRIVE (crusie) not race!!) and guess waht ray? obviously ur cruiseing server made me very angree indeed!! allthough is a cruise srv u just cant cruise in it! thats the botom line!! everytime i try some nuklehead comes wrong way and slams me 50meters backwords and afterwords:"sorry!" WTF is going on? on a lap i got 2 hard hits!!untill i got angry and went after all mofos who were driving blind and iresponsible! from my relaxation time i got to the angry pissd of time! starting to hit and race like a maniac! sorry if i cant keep my cool down! **** it i will go single player from now on! at least there i can drive in peace! i think u should rename ur servers ray cuz its not reflecting the reality. or evin better make one of the servers a real CRUISING server with the same database but no money for driving no selling no transfers no buyng none of it ...just PURE DRIVING!(with the fines though) maybe then nice and careing people like me can enjoy a litle! what do u say? although i am preaty sure u wont do anything, for some reason u dont whant to change anything, i dont really know what do u enjoy some much at the rpesent situation. of course when i got 1 mil in my account i didnt give a shit for all those ill easaly sell, pit rebuy but when its for real no help its kinda frustrating crowling 10 mins to the pits and then have the curaje to try again and drive safe among those who don't. this is the last time im saying this things and those suggestions. i very much want to enjoy city driving in lfs but if it doesent change something soom ill have to reconsider sticking more to my races then this. sorry, but this is the thruth.

Well i guess, because we just cant ...
