Quote from Eclipsed :Boris is taking it personally?
It's really a lough worth how apple tries to advertise it's product to be the best in market with such "features" just to be able to keep the price so high.

Except iPhone is the best in market. For all of the jokes, guess how many phones that Apple has received as being bent (excluding wankers doing it intentionally).

9.

9 instances of a phone which has sold millions.

Are other phone manufacturers so far behind that they need to make issues that affect a fraction of a percent seem like the end of the world?

If only Samsung spent more money on R&D instead of marketing and photocopying, they might create something original instead of copying Apple (or in the case of Apple Watch, attempting to preemptively copy and getting it completely wrong.

Quote from DerekSpeare :Hello Scawen! LFS has always been one of my favorite titles and it's great to see the developments!

Here's my situation, and I hate to cry about it, but I cannot resolve it: I install the latest patch and go to configure the 3d like in your OP to this thread says to do. I click Oculus and then ok and it immediately begins displaying the Rift content on the main screen but there's nothing on the rift. It doesn't give me any option to restart other than exiting normally. If I go and delete that file to redo it, I get a crash event and have to reinstall all over again.

The system is a Win 7 SP1, i7-3820k (no oc), GTX780. The Oculus runtimes are the 4.2 (most recent).

Thank you!

Derek Speare

Derek: did you try these steps?

Quote :How to get LFS running on your Rift DK2 :
- Oculus Configuration Utility - Set your Rift to extended mode
- Windows Display - use extended desktop mode (not duplicated)
- Confusingly, set the DK2 to "portrait" (meaning rotated) mode in Windows
- Start LFS and click 3D on the View Options Screen
- Select Oculus Rift and click OK
- You should be given the option to exit, ready to restart in Rift mode
- Start LFS again after exiting in that way

Quote from tristancliffe :I'll give it a go again soon. But as some people have claimed it to be "special" when it was a steaming pile of poo (albeit attractively rendered too, with good steam effects and bits of sweetcorn), I do confess that I worry it will still be poo, and the real life drivers either have no clue about sim racing (lack of g-forces etc) or if the fans are genuinely clueless about how cars go round corners.

It's not any better. I give it a shot every one in a while and it's still terrible. It still runs like ass even with dual 760GTX's, and the physics are still about on par with Gran Turismo.


They are catering to the console crowd as their target platform and demographic, with a driving model that represents this.

Quote from Bmxtwins :I'm glad there are track limits defined. Not that it has stopped people from using the grass to overtake and it seems to have narrowed the racing surface up so much some people can't help but rear end other drivers entering corners.

Ray, why would you self-incriminate?

Quote from Ripley :About Nexus and random fonts size, it looks like it's a Chrome problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/best-webbrowser-android-4-4-nexus-5-t2516385

There is a webkit (and presumably blink) CSS property to prevent auto text sizing. I think it's W3C standard, but does have issues with desktop browsers (disables zoom on desktop browsers).

Dunno if it's worth the compromise.

Quote from Kid222 :I didn't care about ISR for a long time, but keep me posted with more info on this, it's getting interesting. :P

You shouldn't bother watching ISR (as it indirectly supports him with ad $$) as the show is terrible. It was sorta OK at times with Shaun, as they seemed a bit more sane with their reviews (albeit still iRacing biased), but the last time I watched an ISR video (which was fairly recent, only ~2 weeks old), he gave the impression that iRacing getting driver swaps was something revolutionary, even though LFS has had years of endurance racing with driver swaps.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :Make sure there's an Apple Watch app for LFS. Gotta find out when all my races are.

You would be the only one buying that thing.

Right... I'm sure that Apple will sell only 1.

Quote from Victor :Yep, using Mustache
I actually started out with a fully fluid (hah) design. But there were a number of pages that hold a lot of content which are very hard to wrap into a narrower area. Since i didn't really know how to fix that I decided to wait with solving that problem until i had all the content. Kind of getting there now, so i will have another look at all this. But still .. the only way of fixing a table with a lot of data for example is I think to really redesign the page and think of another way (a way mobile users are used to) to display that same data. In some list where you can click on the main data to display details or something.
So yeah, i'll be looking at it. Sorry for the shitty sizing for the moment

Also Vic: In subscriptions, we can see threads that have been moved to Rubbish Bin. Can't open them of course, but shouldn't be listed if we can't view them.

That's amazing! Nice job Victor!

[edit] Waaiiit a minute! That means that Victor made an OpenGL render for Live For Speed. Hey. hey! Things are lookig up!

Vic's had a WebGL renderer for LFS stuffs for a while. Now all he needs to do is port the physics engine

Quote from Scawen :
Quote from bogdani.cojocaru :Yes true but assuming that programming it to automatically save the updates takes longer, temporary solution would be to move the update button on top. Would be hard to miss.

True, at the top would be far better because the ones you want to change are probably at the top.

I think Victor doesn't use subscriptions so he is imagining 10 on the page, rather than over 1000, which isn't easy to scroll through and I have to use the scroll bar.

Edit : OK I can use the "End" key. Anyway, if most people don't even know there is an update button, it should be at the top, as you say.

Well, the subscriptions page has a different set of problems. It tries to modify the DOM inside of a loop, which blocks the loop from executing the next one until DOM modified, repaint occurs, reflow (possibly). With 2000+ subscriptions, the subscriptions page is frozen until everything finishes. Considering that's effectively my "gateway" to the forums (along with most people, just in a curated unread only form from the old forums), it affects usability a lot.

Quote from boothy :Well responsive web design as a term/philosophy has been around for 4 years and has over 30million google results so not sure you're going to get them to change the name But anyway...

I know all the smileys but the link to the page listing them all has gone

Well people have been trying to coin the term "MFV" or "Mobile Friendly View" for a fair while now, but that too is far from perfect since most people's immediate reaction when they see the word mobile is mobile phone, not mobile device.

Never seen that term and I've been doing web dev-ops for 5 years now

Quote from boothy :Well if the site was "slow" I would have said so. But to be honest I forgot that you now look at the forum regularly - the post was more for Victor and Flame! (I would insert a smiley here but I don't know how to on the new design...)

Don't know why you web developers don't use a simple term like "self-adjusting"...

By the way I don't know all the smileys but you can at least use ; ) and : ) and : ( and : D

Because it's called "Responsive Design". It's the marketing term (so to speak) for a website that each page can be rendered in a way that is usable for any sized device, instead of the old style of if(mobileDevice){redirectToMobileSite()}.

Quote from fatalunfair :S2 hotlaps aren't really working since this update happened. After uploading a time it just says my lap wasn't valid and will be removed soon? I didn't have problems like this at the beginning of this week

Are you doing hotlaps with a test patch? LFSW hasn't been touched.

Quote from e2mustang :user cp showed all my subscribed pages,not my profile only. now i dont know what threads i subscribed for,unless im missing something here.

https://www.lfs.net/forum/subscriptions does sorta similar. It has some flaws in that it hammers the DOM to update (I emailed vic with a possible fix) the times, so lots of subs = a nice waiting time.

The date conversion code needs to get changed too. My subscriptions page is SUPER laggy. Hammering the DOM is bad

Not entirely. Responsive design actually has specific designs (that are fluid) for various screen widths. IIRC, Vic was working on a responsive design in the test site at some point, where the useless bits in the header were nuked when on a small (mobile) screen.
