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

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.

Tell her Anatomy is a hoax.

Here's to you, AtomAnt

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.

Lie down on the couch Atomant... let it all out.

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.

lighten up

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.

purse fights aside... SamH has the info.

Yes it's ~55CAD.
No it's not a lot.

Becky & co might already know, so I'd rather check with them than bother the devs needlessly.
She doesn't allow PMs nor emails...

There's something worth telling the devs about that you should know..
Who do I PM the info to?

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

It's humour.

Quote from mik22 :

yep i do. im stating why cant demo racers have access to it if only the demo cars are availible to race?

Because Tweaked XFGs, XRGs and XRTs are not demo cars anymore.

I missed that, thanks Michael.

Well, yes, at this point 'nothing definitive' is a given... I'm mostly curious of whether DP and the devs got in touch about it. No one's mentionned that.

Sooo.. any *coughnews#cough@ on an LFS DP1?

Let's all have a pickup race on Marrern's server... what do you say Marrern?

No one's arguing you ran a fast time.
You just want to play by different rules than everyone else... why should we play by any rules if you don't?

Kirmy, you, the server, and anyone else connecting, need to be using the same tweaks for all three cars.
That's it.
