It was interesting to watch those commercials when you know how succesful (or not) some of those car models were to become.

I remember that e.g. the Ford Edsel become quite a flop. In those commercials they used words like elegance etc. In the end people hated the vertical round shape in the center of the front grill. Calling it for example a 'toilet seat'.

What next? Somebody should make a Klingon language file. That way LFS could expand into outer space

Rofl. That's a good one.

/me suggests he changes his medication

Lol, that was awesome. Technically good and funny too. I give it 11/10

What?

Shift+f hides the texts etc. I would like to see the custom camera view (and maybe the chase cam), but FCV (force cockpit view) doesn't allow them. ...or did I miss something?

I couldn't find anyone had commented this, which is bit odd.

You are on a server which has FCV on and save a replay. When watching the replay you still have the FCV on even it doesn't make any sense as it is only a replay. I guess this must be bit nasty at least for those making videos. So FCV should be always off when watching replays (imo).

Never heard. You guys listen to wrong music.

Finnish (d'oh)

Swedish

How the heck can you put the barriers point up in the air?

I think the light one has bit too little contrast as the small grey text isn't so easy to read. The dark one is bit too gloomy. The medium has a better contrast and is not too dark. I think generally light colours can make people feel better.

But the most important thing is that it's easy to read and navigate. I have seen many company sites which are so awful that alone made not to order anything from them.

Lol.

I didn't realize it's a bow. I was just thinking what the he** is that?
My excuse is that I haven't really listened to Bowie.

Thanks for the quick feedback! Now it's getting clearer. Just another question about those nodes. So as I understand InSim informs about driver passing some track node? Where can I get more info on these nodes? Like what are their positions on a specific track? How many of them are there and so on...

IS_RST:

...
word NumNodes; // total number of nodes in the path
word Finish; // node index - finish line
word Split1; // node index - split 1
word Split2; // node index - split 2
word Split3; // node index - split 3


EDIT: plus these....

For that you can always go to a demo server and see what's going on there

Easy? Ok...give a hint. At least I'm so lost, I need one. I've already googled all stars, suns and planets. And the VHS tape gives only "Video killed the radio star" (by Buggles) into my mind

Quote from jur :

I have a question. I'm using LFSLib to develop my first insim application and I'm stuck on figuring out how i can track a car's driven meters. Also, i wish to have some track length, so i can know how much progress a driver has made through the track. Or maybe there's some other way to have this info. Thanks for feedback, LFS programmers!

Driven meters:
I have made this. I did it by summing distances between successive points where the car has been (IS_MCI). The greater the frequency of the mci packets, the more accurate the distance is. But it is never 100% accurate.

Track lenght:
You cannot really compare the driven meters to the track length. This is because the driver might have been making just donuts and not even trying to drive a lap. Besides the track lenght the game informs is not that accurate and depending on your driving line might be tens of meters off the driven lap distance. If you want to follow the progress around a lap, you should use the nodes.

Yep. Maybe I should also point out that Atari is the publisher, not the team who made it (afaik). If the game is faulty blame the team who made it.

Atari has published at least one Firaxis game and so far every game out of them has been superb (the old MicroProse wizard Sid Meier works there).

You would have better chances if you use a tarmac set for a tarmac track and a rally set for a rally track. And not the other way around.

Oh yeah, I had Flashback too in Amiga. It had that main theme music which reminded bit Terminator (2?) movie. (You can google the music files and play them in Winamp if you like, but I'm not going to post here direct links to files which are possibly copyrighted. But you might want to check UnExotica :tilt

I also played Syndicate quite a lot in PC.

EDIT: Just remembered the Alien Breed games in Amiga and PC.
EDIT2: Star Control 2 in PC

It doesn't work in hotlap mode. You have to go to single player. Also click the "edit objects" button on the left bottom corner to read "yes".

Quote from Crazy Harry :

Give me a call after you domesticated a lynx.

"Get the dog!"

If you ask me even the cat hasn't been domesticated. Cat just uses us dumb humans to feed and treat them like kings.

I have seen in TV (animal planet or something) where people have raised cougar kitten inside. You don't have to wait even to full size when the damages to furniture and house in general become so huge you have to throw it outside (into a cage). If you have had a cat you know you don't want to mess with a berserk feline

Correct.

I thought better post easy than hard, or this thread dies completely.

Looks ok. Check these:

- In winamp/options/preferences/plugins(general purpose)
There should be "UDP Controller v0.224". Double click it and check
if there is client information (connected=yes, ips, etc).
- Especially if the above didn't show a connection. In LFS, type "/o vcom radio connect"

Vcom establishes connection to the player only when vcom is started. So if the player wasn't on, when vcom was started, you need to type that radio connect command after the player is on. That's why it is better to start the player you are going to use before vcom (but it is not needed as explained).

Also to type commands in Vcom...you need to have a player 'connection' in the game (it checks the person who typed the command has enough rights to invoke it). When you start the game and you are in the main menu there might not have any connections. Try go first into a race/hotlap etc entry screen at least.

If that sounded difficult to understand, it is actually really simple when you get it.

EDIT: lol...did I really use over 20mins to type the answer...didn't see your answer before this. Well, good you made it work
