Head-Tracking

hi,
I don't know if you've heard about Johnny Lee's Wii-Remote Projects. When I saw it, I asked myself if his Head-tracking could be made usable in LfS - so I just wanted to ask here

well CS:S is not a very resource demanding game...

Vista or Vista 64?

with Vista 64bit u should take 4GB RAM (don't know how its in britain, but here in germany u get MDT-6400 2x1GB Kit for 35 Euro ~ 23 pounds)

well on the first screenshot I can't see any problems with the text - but he reports it to be blured...

maybe the driver is set to force some stupid resolution/ refresh rate that isn't really supported by your monitor?

ok guys, I've opened the window and my case to let a bit fresh air in
additionally some Vcore modification and I got down to 13.718s

Yes, you are aboslutely right, i haven´t thought about that, stupid me...

well I loose 2 seconds when running on both cores - so u can see what performance ur idle system is consuming...could be interesting when optimizing there

well it shouldn't take longer than 19 or 20 secs with this^^

I've got 15.062s on my E6750 (prime95-24h-stable clocks (with standard Vcore))

according to my temperatures the program uses only 1 core (and only parts of it)

Quote from Mihajlo :hello
my comp is
P4 celeron @2.6ghz S478
512mb ram
geforce 6800GT

problem is that on 1024x768 and absolute minimum details I can get max 40fps if noebody's on server
if 2-3 cars came im my FOV or anywhere near me, fps r falling to 12 or 14... (enough for crash)

on 1024x768 and deatails on max fps did never reach number of 10

any idea where's problem?

well ur CPU is crap and ur ram is crap
What OS do u run? check the taskmanager after booting and tell us, how much RAM is in use (so we can see, if u are running not necesarry processes)

well, noone knows
I remember on the games convention 3 years ago or so, there was one computer standing alone on a place where noone realy recognized it (u had to play with mouse, no instructions to people not knowing how to do), last year, there were 10 or so bmw f1 dummy cars where u could sit in and drive lfs (some racing cup from intel I think) - what I want to say is, that LfS gets more and more popular far beyond this community, so it will get a better place for advertisement - and with luck this will be in form of licences to use real cars ingame, who knows
more clutch options

It would be nice if we could have a semi-auto-clutch option or something.
It should be designed for people having no clutch pedal, but wanting the maximum realism possible with that.
So all the semi-auto-clutch does is to help u accelerating in 1st gear, so what is missing to auto-clutch:

- no clutch if u are in false gear (e.g. at 10mph in 2nd or higher)
- no clutch if u lock up the wheels (shouldn't be anyway because only the computer is fast enough to do this if they weren't intentionally locked)
-no clutch when stoping (e.g. for pitstop, a button could perfectly do this)
(-no clutch when shifting - maybe this could spoil the advantages for some people liking the rest of the semi-auto-clutch)

when locking up the wheels the engine should stall (I don't think somebodys that fast on the clutch because you don't want to lock up normaly) - so when braking with locked wheels untill 0mph the engine should be off?
AndreABG

I assume u use keyboard, so you apply full braking power and then u wonder that u cant spinn the wheels?

LFS switches to window on entry if it does not have focus

-> doesn't work with ZoneAlarm (am I right that this means, when I go to view the servers and lfs looses focus it should go to window mode?)

the small ZoneAlarm message that asks for permission to the changed lfs.exe steals focus but isn't displayed due to lfs "overdrawing" it and lfs stays fullscreen

when u spin an AI, they overheat there clutch when accelarating from 0mph - what is "normal", but they don't go carefuly with it afterwards, so they burn it all away...

erm, I went to his profile and tried to send him a mail, but it tells me that this user doesn't want to receive emails - so where should I write to?

I had to change my graphics card, after that I needed to unlock lfs, then I went to patch X30 and had to unlock again, but it sayd all my unlocks have been used (so I had only 1, I didnt play since several weeks???). I typed a wrong PW once, maybe this used an unlock too?

how can I get a new unlock before friday? or is there no way and I have to wait?

I'm just wondering where the "What the CTRA homepage says about me" link is gone, not that I found 'em easily before (the positioning made me a kind of blind for it), but now it seems to have vanished?!

well 2mins ago, we got much ags, and now one by one people are loosing connection...

Don't know if I'm right, cause I was a long time away from CTRA (STCC), but it seems to me, that if there are only 3 or less people racing, u don't get podiums counted up - what I think is fine, but the total number of races goes up, so the percentage is "incorrect". Wouldn't it be better to make the stats like

[Number of race with more than 3 people] [(total number of races)]
[percentage of podiums = podiums as it is now / number of races with more than 3 people]

EDIT: maybe the races weren't counted, I've just seen that the podium stat not raised and didn't look further, but I'll keep an eye on it and post it here, if theres something wrong...

Well on the scrennshot where it doesnt show up, you have chosen that the other GTRs must be available, but they arent on ur server - so all correct

They had much luck, in both crashes. If Viso would have been just a few cm more to the right, it would have been his head what scratches the wall for a few meters... But must have been an amazing view for him^^

Quote from sinkoman :I'm pretty sure that South City is Live For Speed's take on Monte Carlo...

agreed
licences are very expensive and not needed at all. South City got all you like about monaco, I see no need for more!?
