LFS is for everyone with a mouse and keyboard, gamepad or wheels and/or pedals.

Much ado about nothing.. You need to not have much to think about to actually be distracted by it.

The ergonomics are rather bulky, but once you've gotten used to it, the triggers and analog sticks are quite good. I'd say 7.5 or 8/10 overall.
What other gamepad has 14 buttons, 6 axes (+1 that LFS doesn't recognize), including nice springy triggers like the xbox's?
The latter emulate the sense of pedals pretty well.

The drivers have never given me any hint of lag or bugs, over about 4 different PC configurations and probably a dozen windows installs.
What other gamepad can do accurate, separate throttle, brake, and steering axes, as well as a second center-returning joystick to use for freeview?
The XBox controllers certainly aren't perfect, but they do the job quite well.

Danowat, I would bet most countries would favor the common sense of not impeding the flow of traffic.
Lane hoggers aren't upset about the law, they're intent on getting their way in spite of others'.

What planet do you live on, where kids have no sexual inclinations?
Early on, they can be naturally pretty hardcore. It disappears afterwards, commonly from repression by the parents, but that doesn't mean the interest has disappeared.
What kid that is old enough to pay attention to this mostly text based forum isn't old enough to know pathological sexual themes from healthy ones? Are you saying kids of, say, 13 years of age would neither feel indiferent, nor somewhat to very interested in a soft playboy mag left open by mistake for them to see, but actually be corrupted from innocence? That they'd actually feel some sort of trauma?
The only trauma is repression void of understanding.

Kids' first encounters with sex (let's say their parents, as most of the time) can be a bit shocking because of the (from the kid's point of view) relatively aggressive latent vibes.. but that is to passive sexual (and even that's subjective) items what the mousetrap is to the piece of cheese.

The piece of cheese is harmless. It should either attract or leave indifferent, but if the kid gets upset at seeing it.. then he's the one with issues.

Someone was giving me a lift across a fair length of highway, driving on the fastest of the three lanes.
A motorcyclist comes up quickish from the rear, turn-indicator flashing to indicate he'd like to pass.. Driver gets irritated, because
Quote :[...] Well, if I can't go that fast, well why should he??
It's not fair. [...] And he's a danger on the road. [yadda yadda]

Driver doesn't let rider by till I persuade her that the best solution is to just let him by so he can "crash" into someone else.

Some people just won't let you do what they can't do or have no use for, even if it's of no consequence to them either way..
Think about it.

Danowat, you're right, and it's why I made this for function and not aesthetics. I don't look at the shift light, nor the tach, only the speedo from time to time - the point was to not have to focus on it anymore.

Neglouseight, XBCD drivers for the xbox controllers allow you to fix that joystick deadzone.
The only shortcoming I've found is that LFS does not recognize the pressure sensitive buttons when they're set as axes. So you're stuck with the two triggers and analog sticks.
The good news is that you can use throttle and brake as separate axes, by setting them as separate axes in the XBCD software, then calibrating them as such under Windows' calibration wizard.

All cockpit lights actually, as I didn't find the lights themselves, it's their common alpha that's edited. If you know where the lights are, I'm all ears.

This mod makes the small round lights for shifting, handbrake, traction control, etc, big clear squares.
Rudimentary but unmissable.

And no, it's not about self esteem. Do they look sorry to you? It's just a joke..
Another example would be the sort of morbid and/or deadpan humour you find in the army... You can subtitle it as not funny, or "sorry attempt to [...]", but that's just taking things out of context.

Anyway, best of luck with your project (it kicks ass ). I hope we get to drive it some day.

The V2 test patch is incompatible with Tweak, make sure you're not running that.

I saw it... it's just a sort of humour that is almost non existant in america.
You're just another casualty to the long history of culture shock
