U28, Great patch. One teeny weeny thing. Shift+F doesn't hide the 'History' messages. You have to re-press H. A small point and not one to lose sleep over.

Quote from KiDCoDEa :

just a side note, audigy cards have since birth been plagued with crackling issues, never to be solved via driver, motivating group protests etc.
i dont own one and followed the controversy at a distance but someone owning one prolly can give a summary of that whole situation.

I've got an Audigy 2 ZS and have had several other Creative sound cards and have never experienced the sort of trouble posted in these forums. Yes there was some crackling associated with Uwhichever but only with that particular patch. That's not only sound problems either, I've not suffered the various other tales of woe; black screens, crashes etc. I sometimes wonder if the PC housekeeping isn't all it should be with some folks

I certainly would'nt tell a girl I was "wooing" (you cad, does anyone this side of 1940 still use that word? )

Dan,

Saved me making a pos...:doh:

Being 65 and telling people I race online, I receive slightly raised eyebrows. When they see the kit I use to do it I get 'My god!'s. Oddly enough they all want to have a go on it though.

Alt-F4 is a helluva combination to hit accidently isn't it? Personally, I would love to have a way of closing LFS without going through the process that we have now. One keypress and back to desktop. Just the job.

Quote from danowat :

I can handle the red messages, no problem.

What i can't handle is the falling over of LFS, the looping / stuttering sound and awful lag that comes with it.

I reckon this directsound thing doesnt like my creative soundcard.

Dan,

Grandmother -suck-eggs, but have you got Creative's latest drivers? Latest are 9th October. Just a thought.

Removed text "LEFT pit lane" and "ENTERED pit lane"

Excellent!

Quote from birder :

Point 1) There is no PM from you................ banned it will soon fill up again.

Without quoting the whole of your post, I like your style.

Back on topic, I'm always a little uneasy about public apologies to individuals. They almost always end up treating the apologiser as some kind of hero! It takes BALLS to say sorry? No, it ought to take humility, a rare thing unfortunately,

Quote from Scawen :

It's ok, if it's ok for you. It's just that, if some obscure bugs come up because of using alternative methods of swapping windows, I may not be able to fix it, because Windows doesn't tell LFS that something has happened. LFS just can't repair itself if it doesn't know anything has happened. SHIFT+F4 is safe, because you are asking LFS to go into a window (or back to full screen). It then does whatever it needs to do, to do that safely.

Okey dokey. I'll add a macro on my G15. Still one dab. I love when you're given a REASON!

Quote from Scawen :

.....You should use SHIFT+F4 to go into a window, then Windows treats LFS with respect and sends it the appropriate messages. My impression is that ALT+TAB seems to make Windows be quite neglectful about sending the correct messages to the program.

I habitually use the 'Windows' key to get to desktop (just one dab of the finger)with absolutely no issues. Anything wrong with that method?

Quote from cdub :

The accelerator and brake run on just one axis, so you'll need to have it set to 'Combined'.

Don't listen to him! In the Profiler/Options/Global device settings, take the tick/check OUT of 'Report Combined Pedals'. In LFS select 'Seperate pedals in 'Controls' and you'll find that your pedals are now seperate.

This may or may not be relavent and only be coincidental, but PitSpotter has taken it into it's head to only work intermittently. This IS since U22. Prior to that it worked flawlessly. Not just me either. Maybe a new version is required for the new sound system. . Kegetys?

Thanks a lot mate. I've been looking for those suckers!

Don't forget to check the log book. What's to see? It's a DFP and he's giving it away!
£35 INCLUDING postage! If I didn't already have a spare one stashed away, I'd have it.

This goes for 'render my skin'. Every time I see that thread I reflexly say to myself 'kiss my ass'

I think the intention is for this forum to be a point of reference for such things as configuring a server, running apps on a server, troubleshooting server malfunctions etc.
"so if the master server down they will post here?" No
"Captain Slow" Don't be silly

Pretty much along those same lines.

That's not quite the same as having an H shifter where you have to go through neutral. Then you would see a difference.

It would be interesting to be able to see exactly what kit is being used by people on a server. At the moment you can only see whether he has a wheel (which could be a joystick) or a mouse. I'd like to know the view, shifter, clutch, degrees of rotation of his wheel, office chair, race frame, or simconmotion. I would also like to know if he's being served his beer or whether he has to get it himself. I would them have at my disposal, every excuse under the sun for being soundly thrashed EVERY BLEEDIN' NIGHT!

Fully Frexed up. Well, not the SimConMotion, the wife would raise an eyebrow at that!

now thats some serious shit
lol
no no, im talking about DIY

There's not a lot, if anything, you can do to a DFP. Pretty much spot on already.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Sorry, off-topic but I just had to share this disclaimer from the SimConMotion page:



!!!!

Well, motor racing IS dangerous!

Go here
check out 'Wheel adapter', pay Shige Tanaka lots of money and never have to worry about the horrendous price of VPP or BRD wheels.

Quote from mrodgers :

Also, "Aaaarrrrggggghhhhh!" isn't a very good title for a thread. It tells nothing of what the thread is about for those who would be willing to help to come here and read. Just a little help for you in trying to get help.

Saved me a job. Cheers.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Bah, Crete... Cyprus... fairly similar really...

/me legs it before other people reaslise my mistake!

You're safe here. No-one'll notice.

It's amazing the crap that surfaces when we're waiting for the next patch

Of course LFSers don't make the best lovers, they're too busy driving! "Are you coming to bed honey?" "Just one more race Sugar"
