.....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!

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.

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"

Mmm, U20 thread or bugs thread? I've never seen anything like this before so I opted for U20. I was informed last night that if you get a 'drive through' or 'stop 'n' go' penalty you are not able to see 'Blue flag' notices until this penalty is cleared. Searched, but found nowt on this.
Doubtless someone will pop up with the relevant post complete with rollicking!

I went to ork once. Didn't like it!

Quote from mrodgers :

The truth of the matter is, it's about being a responsible adult and respectful to others. Now, at work, if we had a kick/ban filter for swearing, no one would be left in the plant, LOL. One of my work areas in particular, there is one older lady who works with us. When she is on shift, you won't hear 1 swear word all day. Perhaps someone may slip now and then, but everyone is respectful because they know she doesn't like to hear it.

Think of it this way. Would you talk to your mother or grandmother like that? In order to be respectful towards others, you need to talk to them as you would talk to your own mother or grandmother.

*Sigh* There ya go, talking sense agin. When will you learn?

Moonforce already said what I was going to say but i'll say it anyway. Hotlapping and qualifying are two seperate things. H-L start from the track, qualifying from pit. The fly in the ointment comes with how many pit spaces are there on any given track? A server with 20 plus drivers would present a problem nez pas?

Quote from CSU1 :

Hold on! How are you suposed to look behind you with trackIR? turn your head 180 degrees???illepall

You've got mirrors and if you do need to look behind you i.e. before pulling out into traffic, turn your head right round, you know, like in real life!
To be fair it is an acquired taste. Be prepared to work at it and before too long you are no longer aware of turning your head at all. I suspect too many people want an instant result, you know, like in real life!

Now, if I forget to turn TIR on, it's like having your head in a clamp. Nasty!

Quote from d1daisuki :

......Sorry I have bad English, Thanks for your help!

Send a PM to Shige Tanaka over at Frex. He needs someone like you to translate his instruction leaflets!

Quote from Funnybear :

If my countries borders where like that of Lebenon I am sure some of my friends would be tempted to hurl a few rocks at the oppressors.

Quote from Robster230 :

Does that involve popping into the options and changing the setting each time or is there a simple setting to match the car that i've not seen.

LFS, clever old thing, does it automatically. Just set your wheel rotation to 900° and wheel turn compensation to 1.0. Personally I use 720° because that is the maximum ingame. I used to have 900° because I thought it was manly. It's not!
