ok in the install folder, go into the INC folder.. now copy the path to the MSSTDFMT.DLL

open a command prompt (cmd.exe)
type(without quotes):

"regsvr32 [path to dll]"
eg for me its:
"regsvr32 C:\Program Files\VLFSDash\INC\MSSTDFMT.DLL"

It should work then... if not post other errors..
I'll fix the setup file so that it registers it for you, Seems I missed it out

About the screen, I think it may be too wide for that screen... Unless it has a higher resolution?
The normal Dash is 800x600, and the smallest I can manage to get is to was 750x590. Currently making a bigger version of 1024x768

Yep, I should have mentioned that as a known bug...

The way it works, Is that when it recieves a packet containing the rpm then it updates the RPM dial, When the RPM needle changes position it checks the car and the rpm. If the RPM is over (lets say) 7500 then it will show the shift light ON. So because its constantly recieving these packets its updating just as fast therefore causing it to flicker...
Working on an alternative way that should stop the flickering
Tried with a timer but still has a flicker I'll get it..
______________________________________________________________
Would anyone use a version of this that was of 1024x768 in size?
Making a version for me as I cant be bothered to change my secondary resolution everytime I want LFS
If people could have use of it then I'll post a download link here once finished

Thanks
Lucky I got the source from Erazotropa (Bjorn)
Other wise this would be still on page 13 and not that compatible with Z25-Z28

Anyway as always, Got a suggestion? Post it!
If its a good suggestion that a lot of users would want, I'll make it..
Otherwise I'll modify and build a custom version just for you! (and anyone else who might use it)

Quote from th84 :

Same as the last 5 yrs.....

Wake up at 5am to the sounds of a screaming 6yr old telling me how Santa stopped by. We glance at the empty cookie plate (the cookies are always delicious, FTR) and empty cup that once held some milk.

About 35 seconds later all his presents have been opened (half of which will never be touched again) and I can go back to bed.

Sounds exactly like my house

Like the image in my last post, you can find the download link here
(Note: Its the EXE & INI only, You must have installed the full version first)

20th: Riding (bike) with my dad to Fort William to see GrandParents b4 xmas
22nd-23rd: Go upto Inverness for a Ride

From then on I have no Idea

16th January: off to RAF Cosford for 9month

I added a working Shift Light to the roadcars.. Based on RPM
Also 'Greyed Out' The Shift light if the 'RoadCar ShiftLights' is disabled (suggested)

I have made it so that all optional features can be turned on/off... Saves multiple vesions

Glad you like it, most credits to Erazotropa for creating the original

I have ran out of ideas of what to add

If anyone has any suggestions, anything they/you would want to see in this post here and I would be happy to see what I can do

Quote from Ov3rD0s3 :

but im wondering, is there any posibility to change the visuals? like change font? colours?

Uhm you can change quite a lot of colours...

Quote from Ov3rD0s3 :

maybe even make a copy of real car gauges?

Well you see, The program uses IOComp VB controls... So adding real car gauges would be hard.. I created an outguage some time ago that used a real dashboard image, and the dials etc from that.. However I cant find it or the source

Sure, Nice Thinking

Downlaod: VLFSDash.rar

Yep, same as doing it with a .com etc

If the source is available I could update, otherwise you would have to wait for Kegetys

Quote from logitekg25 :

windows 7 home premium 64 bit.....i got it working one time on vista home premium 64 bit

hmm, must be something with your computer.. I have tested on XP 64bit, Vista 32 and 64 and windows7 32 and 64.. All working fine

Try this debug version, This will NOT connect to lfs ad it wont try to load any values from the ini. Therfore if it dont error then the ini is the problem, but if there is still an error then I will add more error messages

Download: VLFSD_Debug.rar
(Note: This is only the exe and ini, You will have to replace/overwrite the originals manually in the in the "\Program Files\VLFSDash\INC\" folder...)

Hmm, I am puzzled by where the error comes from... It might be an internal variable type that isn't working with other operating systems?

What OS do you use?
32bit or 64bit?

000webhost.com and .co.cc

Pretty good services, used them before... Although I shut my site down as I had no time for it

Quote from DavidTiger :

ALSO: From now on all updates will only include the exe and ini, you will need to have installed the full version before

Adding: DO NOT uninstall the older version, but MANUALLY overwrite the exe and ini in "\Program Files\VLFSDash\INC\"

Sorry I hould have re-mentioned that

Attached a sample 'Shift Up' voice, what you think of it? Good Idea to have it say it (optional, can be turned on/off) on the shift light??

Ok, I added the 'ShiftUp' Voice.. See how you like it, Only a test it cant be disabled as yet but I will for the next update
Download: VLFSDash_shift.rar

Thanks

Think its a nice idea to add a 'Shift Up' voice/sound... A nice sexy 'Shift Up'
Been looking for a female saying that but meh, Cant find any..

Its really another needle on the dial.
Works like an Medical thermometer, It will go up, but not down unless reset.
Say you go to 40Mph and slow to 30 the max will stay at 40, so then you speed up to 80mph it moves the max needle to 80. etc etc

Im confused by what your asking You want the 'max speed' needle to flash if you reach that speed again?

Quote from LFSn00b :

Hi, this my first time posting in the thread

So i take it as you can run this through lan on other laptop?

Yes, just put ur local IP of the laptop in the cfg.txt, make sure the correct ports are open

Quote from LFSn00b :

Is it possible to turn this program full-screen?

Just press the 'Remove Borders' button, that will remove the borders and make it fit fullscreen

LOL why do they even need it??
criminals using ferrari getaway cars these days?
