I wanna know the same, since i've been checking up for some windows 7 features and it seems like a windows xp in weight (very light) with vista features and more...
i might be checking Windows 7 then.

PS: how will we abreviate it? 7? w7?or Win7 maybe...

Thats what i thought... If there's a forum that can help, why not ask here? (since it's the official LFS forum...)

As said before, I could run Join2lfs on my dad's laptop having administrator privileges without a problem. For now.

So the program will "return" the car that is nearer to the red line, or the car that is more in front of you than the others right? if i knew how the coordinate system works for lfs i could help with the theory..

The lateral G bug is due to a real world formula not implemented correctly xD

This didn't happened before: LFS is crashing for me after some long time playing, this only happened after installing Z10.

CPU: Semprom 2.3 (1.7ghz)
Memmory 1024mb RAM ddr1
GeForce 6200 256mb agp
Windows XP sp3 Directx 9.0c
Nvida driver 178.xx

EDIT: thanks, will do that, i'm just having some problems retrieving the technical information.

Zen321 just rewrote my idea =D but you're thinking the same way i do.
Basically my idea was to end this setup war by creating "types" of setups, wich can be restricted by server, so novice drivers can have a chance, by showing they got driving skills, not just setup knowledge. And in an advanced play, the limits of setups would decrease allowing more adjustability. Resuming:
Its good for people that just want to race casually, and its good for people that take it seriously.

EDIT: And yes, i also, sometimes, pick a road car, with the road setups and drive either fern bay or south city, i feel like im really driving a car (when i drive the FXO, it feels alot like my dad's Palio Weekend 1.8). Sometimes i put AI's with road going setups so i can feel im in a track day hehe.

I think rFactor graphics are also down to the mod yo choose to display.
CTDP (i think thats the name) is one ofm if not, THE mod for rFactor.

And you might want to fix your Hard Drive capacity... 4GB?

I got all my LFS stuff on my iPod, weirdly it doesn't work that way for me.
I play it on my dad's laptop, uncle's PC and my cousin's PC also. That's because my rig has no HD at the moment.
If i plug it on my uncle's and unlock it there, every time i plug in again it's unlocked (note i run it from the iPod). BUT if i plug it on my cousin's and unlock it there, when i come back to my uncle i have to re-unlock.

I'm not complaining, since it doesn't happens often, im just saying that i dont think the unlock register is kept inside LFS folder.

I found out that at 70-85 range i can drive better... mostly near 70 i can tell what the car is doing. near 85 i can feel the speed. But i wish i had widescreen...

Lol, funny pic =D after this digging, i think ill try to use a 105 Fov but with a 4:3 monitor and widescreen mode...

Thats an idea. but i think some people would like to tune the road cars into a deeper level for some advanced races. but there could be setup types with different limits. And thats the basic idea. creating setup types that have different limits on tuning (tuning as in suspension and transmission, not bodykits, oh gosh NO). The driver would still create its own setups, but the setup ist would be reorganized to show the special setup types and its custom mades.
Setup idea.

I was reading about an endless setup comment and had an idea when someone said that the scirocco could have 2 setups, a road going and a sport one. Why not create 3 types of setup:
-Road going or Stock: VERY limited configuration, the base configuration is the same as if someone would buy it in real life. This setup would not exist in GTR's and Single seaters.
-Sport: has more configuration, ranges and precision than the road going. may be applicable to all cars.
-Racing: not that its more open for configuration, but its ranges are more towards efficiecy and stuff.

BUT HEY THEN EVERYBODDY WOULD PICK UP THE RACING ONE!!!!!11

But theres another point: the servers would limit what kind of setup to run with. These setups add NOTHING (not that the race setup is better than the road going, it's more advanced.)
it's just a way to give starters a chance also in races (by making road going setup races to novices and at a higher level, allowing racing setups)

thats it, if you like say somethig, if you don't, well say what you didin't liked =D

No problem! I also think that any expert coder that sees my code will maybe notice some mistakes if not many. The code is not very optimized because im interested in making this special project work first. Then ill optimize.

I left the code open because i think this comunity is very receptive and i t might help others to start something like this. i killed myself making this, but now i look back and all that was dificult is writing the right functions...
For starters i recomend using allegro, it easy and if anyone want some beginner help, i can help.

About the flikering bug: i fixed it in my version but my version is too big to upload. its over 20mb! im working on reducing the size at the moment.

EDIT: i'll comment the code.

The reason the FZR wheels are off is because i havent implemented the right track and wheel base measurements.

AND if someone has a picture of a small circuit, size of 3072x2304, i might be interested =D

Yes!! now the map is bigger! but the game is also. I am using a very sucking background scrolling technique so the car now stays in the center and you drive around a small track the size of 3072x2304. but that map is 20meg in size. The physics part is untouched, but i got some formulaes that i want to implement to make use of tire loads and all that complecs stuff(witch ill make les complex since this is not a simulator xD).
the track is only a green field with a gray line that you drive on. there is no grass detection YET. there is no lap counter YET.(hell i had to rework some stuff just to get the track scroll xD)
some problems im finding:
-wheel drawing: the front wheel seems to have a larger track than the back ones
-braking, turning is shit. the v²/r lateral g formula is giving me weird feedback.
braking is very linear, the mrt is showing negative weight transfer heh...
-engine acceleation is on the works. but i need to find some info about engine inertia and general engine torque generation...

by the way the mrt is functional... but it feels slow. on the other side the BF1 is reaching 420+ topspeed!!! unless someone can tell me the exact frontal area and the formula 1 drag coeficient so i can check with true values. right now im getting an aprox.(i wish i could get that info for all the cars)

thats it.
