yes! Me again!

how do you clear the middle-of-the-screen display? I enter #page1 and it comes up fine ... how to clear then?

Type $clear

Read the one just below it. All you've had to do is read the thread.

Look at the link I posted that puts you a few posts up that details how to get the program connected to LFS.

You do not need to do any cfg editing. Just enable InSim on your LFS to the InSim port you chose on the program, and the program handles everything else. Usually you can make the "Reply port" to be one number less than your InSim port.

The speedo and tacho are move points, just click, hold and drag on those items to move the program. As far as configuring, just hover your mouse over each to find out what each do in the setup dialog.

Once I finish recoding my auto qualifier, I can get back to this program and make a new thread for it.

I do not even get that page, i click on the .exe and a window error window pops up

The only way people can help you is if you give the exact error message, either by typing out exactly what it says, or grabbing a screenshot of it. "A windows error" is far to vague to figure out.

I might, didn't know if I would be allowed to do so, but yeah, would probably be a better idea to give it more exposure.

Ok, good points, I'll do a bit of digging around. Thanks.

JFYI
I'm sure you are not allowed to upload this font here as it is copyrighted material:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FMID=237
and cost $36
http://www.ascenderfonts.com/font/lcd.aspx

Considering it came free with I would assume all US versions of windows (i've had XP, Vista and 7 all have this same font automatically installed), I'm only uploading what Microsoft forgot in other people's versions.

What about Virtual LFS Dashboard, which uses the quartz font and redistributes that too. You gonna get on Erazotropa for making it, or me for resurrecting it? I hardly think Microsoft is gonna come after me for using a font that they gave free and that I make no money off of what so ever.

Quote from pik_d :

Ah, I see it right there in the OP, whoops. Thanks.

Will the rewrite fix the second problem?

I'd have to do some testing to find out if it's the program or InSim dropping the connection. So, we'll see.

The digits is because you don't have the font installed. In the zip file is a font file, right click it and choose install, then try again and it all should look good. For instance, look at the image on the first page. If, when you run the program, it doesn't look like that, then you don't have the font installed. When I get around to rewriting this, there'll be an installer for the program that'll do that for everybody, but in the meantime its still easy to do manually.

I'll have to look more into the changing car one, but I've never had a problem with it loosing connection.

EDIT: after checking, I had forgotten to include the font file in the download, will be uploading a new zip with the font file.
EDIT2: font file uploaded to downloads page, just download and right click -> install.

Ah yes, probably should do this :P.

1. Unzip the file to any location you would like to have it
   
2. Run the exe file, and make sure that the font on the program looks correct. If not, close it, right click the quartz font file and choose install. Then run the exe again.
   
3. Start LFS and enable InSim at whatever port you would like.
   
4. Click on the setup button, and each object on that dialog has a tooltip to tell you exactly what each do.
   
5. Click ok, and the program should be connected.
   

Pretty easy I hope. No cfg editing, the program handles that itself. Yes, the program can be used across your LAN and even across the internet as long as you know the IP address and the right ports have been forwarded on the routers. No need for a second LFS if using on another computer.

I'll have a proper help file, readme, and such if it seems that people are wanting me to continue. So hopefully I can get more than just 8 people so far download the program.

Ah yes, their telemetry program. That could be a possibility. First, I need to actually start rewriting the program, as it's not as close to the real one as I would like it to be. Then second, I would have to find out what format the data would have to be for it to be imported into the i2 software. So, we'll see.

Hi folks,
It was sad to see this nice program go before it could fully mature. And after seeing so many people have trouble with the tricky, picky, VB dependencies from the program, I thought I would make a .NET clone of the program. Other than grabbing the bmps from his source, everything on this program is rewritten by myself.

Right now, it's not a very pretty program yet, but is completely functional. I'm throwing it out to the community as market research, to see if I should continue developing it. I have currently named it VLFS Dash Clone, but feel that I should name it something else to preserve the original creator's IP of his program. So, if we continue making the program, the community also gets to suggest a name for it.

Please download it, unzip it anywhere you want and try it out. The zip file includes his quartz font file that I believe already comes with US versions of Windows, but if you start the program and the font looks all funny, just close the program, right click the font file and choose install. Then try again and it should come up correct.

Comments, suggestions and concerns are welcome. If the community has voted to continue the program, I would setup a Trac (development tracking) site for it for bug and improvement suggestions for users to submit to. Have fun .

Oh, forgot, to move the program, the RPM and Speedo dials are drag spots. Click and hold on them to move the program to where ever you want.

That and the AU tracks should be mixed in with the real tracks, try to make it as random as possible.

Quote from danbbt :

Sorry...

What language do you use to programme the app LFS Reorder? Is .NET?

I want modify it for add the posibility of load files with a list users in order.

Then, can you sendme the programm code-files?

Thankyou.

I would prefer not to do so, so instead, I'll point you to the trac page for the program, where you can submit an improvement suggestion for me to code your idea into the program. The link is in my signature just below. You don't have to register to submit a new ticket, so go ahead and post that up there, and I'll get on it.

Quote from danbbt :

Hi Bursy,

Do you make the program in .NET? If it is, can you sendme the fonts archives for make changes?

Thanks!

Don't understand what you're asking for.

Quote from sinbad :

Because I don't really play LFS at all at the moment, but this mod interests me a bit.
It just struck me as a good way to promote the thing..... ah well.

Tell you what, if you sign up, I'll see if one of the racers might do a promo vid of it, though there's only been one race so far.

Quote from sinbad :

Sounds good, but make a simple video of a multiplayer race, put it on youtube. I don't want to mess about installing the mod just so I can watch a replay

Why watch a replay, when you can race. Far more fun, and all the current racers will help get you started.

Quote from lvlo :

I've tried this mod - like it a lot. Car is really fun to drive. But I will wait for Z* patch - just don't want to have two installations of the same LFS on my hard drive

And I still think this mod needs Nascar bodykit. I know it's against dev's rules and if there will not be such bodykit - it's ok for me. Just my opinion.

Probably going to be a while before that happens, if at all, so you might as well just bite the bullet and run two LFS's.

The Series
Up for something completely new and unique to LFS league racing? Look no further. The I-SCAR series is an international stock car series that aims to emulate stock car league racing as best as possible in Live for Speed. While most series that have a similar goal run mostly on ovals, I-SCAR seeks to bring the best of both worlds: oval and circuit racing united together in one premier series. But that's not all, I-SCAR will also feature a fully modded stock car. (Created by forum moderator Bob Smith). This monster emulates a real life stock car as best as possible and boy is this car a beast to drive. Not only will it feature a new challenge to Live for Speed racers, but through this mod and league we hope to create a fun, challenging and competitive environment where the community can get the best of stock car racing, oval and circuit.

Drafting at close to 200 miles per hour? Beating and banging down in bumpy circuits like Aston and South City? 2-wide, 3-wide, and perhaps 4-wide racing?

A 3400 pound, 900 horsepower monster with a top speed of 215 miles per hour and realistic V8 engine roar? What's not to love? At I-SCAR we hope we can give the community a racing experience they will never forget.

Boogity boogity boogity, lets go racing boys! - DW

Information, registration, and the mod can all be found in the I-SCAR league subforum here: http://www.lfsforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=266

Quote from KassadGLA :

good aplication.. but.. i want use MoTeC for review telemetry

ideas?

What kind of telemetry? Could you elaborate on this?

It's up, had to restart the server.

Quote from RizoR :

Broken Link

Server was down for maintenance, check now.

Quote from vicbel :

Couple of questins/suggestions:

1. Are there any commands to raise the yellow flag and perform the other tasks via the chat ($Yellow for example)

No, the only commands as far as chat goes are $pits, $admin, and $sc.

Quote from vicbel :

2. What is the config item in the file to activate the yellow flag alert? What is the command in-game?

Yellow flag alert? You mean the command that a racer sends that basically says help me? That would be $sc. Otherwise, if you mean the menu in game that you click on the buttons for green, yellow, red flags, then it's in the config.ini file, you can change it to whatever you want it to be.

Quote from vicbel :

3. What is the command to activate/deactivate the hard core quali in-game?

thanks.

That option was only added because it was requested by IGTC, but if you would like to use it, type $admin to get to the admin menu, and there'll be a button to turn it off and on.
