yeahhh thnx guyss

I have LFS in windows mode, I can see the windows task bar. I don't now why, and can't turn it to full screen. I have tried to maximize, minimize, and many other "techniques", but I can see always the windows environment (Start button, blue task bar, time,etc... )
And worst of all, that makes me have less FPS.
I remember the first day it was full screen mode, but don't know why, it switched to "window" mode (I supose I did something wrong, but I can't remember what, and how to solve it)

Well I have to say that after decreasing the sensibility of the pedals from 50% to 25% in the logitech profiler I have increased my stability in all rear wheel drive cars. Now the pedals feel much more "expanded", less concentrated. Hard when I push full throttle, soft when I only "touch" the pedal. So there's a long way for me to set up EVERYTHING

Set them to report as separate axes using the Profiler, then reverse the axes in LFS (IIRC)

I am talking about the % in the profiler

Quote from joeynuggetz :

I think you're used to racing cars in other games that have slicks. You cant compare that to road tires on road cars. Try the slickmod and fit some slicks on the road cars and you'll see that it's all in the tires.

It's not a question of slicks, it's a question of reality.
Even with my girlfriend's seat ibiza I get more grip at low speeds than with the lfs GTI. And my Opel Astra Coupe seems to have glue on his tyres, if I compare it to some lfs cars (only in some situations, of course, the ones we were talking about)
I have to tell you that this is the first time I really show interest in a racing game (sim racing world), because I know this is (and will be) "The game"
What is the "slickmod"? (noob, remember)

Welcome to LFS, the great vortex of you're life's time.... you're already in the gravitational field, kiss your other hobbies goodbye....

that's the f****** true! My girlfriend agrees with you too! (but she's not happy) LOL

default? or what?

(I have DFP)

Quote from Niels Heusinkveld :

Brian,

you'll get as many opinions as replies to this one

I agree LFS is 'unrealistic'.. The promis it holds is great however. And after long hard work you can actually make the cars hard to oversteer.

Try the attatched setups, though they only are for RWD road cars. It is hard to say what is wrong exactly. It seems like the tyres don't have a transition from grip buildup, stick, grip loss.. you seem to go from grip loss to grip loss as if the tyre barely has a preference of not slipping / sliding.

It has been discussed at high and low quality levels of conversation.. We will have to see what the physics updates before S2 goes final do to the handling. Meanwhile try these setups. I'm now working on a new pack which provides more of a challenging / rewarding drive than these ones that where there basically to make it nearly as hard as possible for LFS to oversteer out of control..

N

Thanks for the setup, I will try.

I really like this game, and the way it's going to.

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

The low-speed grip problems are well known, and the tyre model will be improved. It's just not complete yet. Hopefully things will become easier (more realistic) in the future

Oh, it's well known... thanks for the info.
As I said, I am starting in this world (sim racing), and I am always reading the forum, improving my hardware and software settings.
Maybe some of my questions are well known too, but that's the way I learn

call me n00b if you want, guys (but only in LFS

I have tried on real tracks cars above 250-300hp, and they are A LOT more easy to drive than some 140cv rear wheel drive lfs cars.
And it's all about grip.

I would like to understand how physics works on this game, because I want to race really seriously, but DAMN, this game is making me change my way of driving.
For example I have found the GTI (and almost all the front wheel drive cars) very realistic, but an XRT seems to have 250 or 300hp by looking at the way it slides in 1 or 2 gear, according to the way I push the throttle.
I have noticed this things only at low speeds, when it's supposed to be more stable. Sliding when I'm at 30 Km/h (feet on air) on a race car it's only possible in my mind on an ice track (and not coming from 200Km/h, of course).
And there are a lot of more examples.
A real BMW M3 doesn't spin "donut style" when you are only in 50% throttle in first gear, if you don't turn the wheel.
Well, it's too long to explain, but I think people understands me.

The game is fantastic, that is why purchased it, but I think some lfs cars has less grip than real and more powered cars, specially at low speeds.

I think that the more realistic a game is, the less you have to "re-adapt" your way of driving.

Well, that's all. I will continue "re-adapting" my way of driving, but keep the good work, as you all LFS crew do

P.D: (I have WR setups, the best DFP settings, and a lot of more settings properly configured)

Quote from bbman :

Also, make sure you're racing on a licensed server...

lol, is that? I am playing now on demo servers, they're usually full of newbies like me, so it's more funny to race.
Should I see the licensed driver skins on this servers?

i have changed the skins.
but the auto load function it's not working. it gives me an error when trying, on the race. and it's selected on the options menu.

i will try to reinstall...
which file contains my setups? (controls)

First of all, I am n00b in this... hehehe

1- i cant see other drivers skins. i am licensed, but the game shows an error.

2- i can't add my own skins. even other skins from other drivers. the game only shows the default skins. i have to replace the default skins with my own (same name than defaults), to see them.

help...

well, I have solve d it guys. It was the "global device settings", as xapexcivix said". Sorry, I'm very noob yet...

Before I powered it, I turned 900º but now that is everything running, and the last drivers installed, it only turns 1/4, 90º, each side.
In LFS2 I get the "virtual" 900º by "physical" turning 90º.

Out of the game, it's still on the 90º limit.
I want my 900º!!
