I really must stop using humour on these forums. :banghead:

Many would say I still am a beginner.

Quote from ysu :

You guys are top notch...
You don't read the review the thread is about but start posting in the thread straight away... illepall

Are you infering that I didn't read the post? Naughty to make such assumptions

Quote from axus :

Good idea, I agree with what you have said. I did have trouble with the double negative, I remember that...

Yeah, but now you're a member of that elite group that does understand the menus eh?

/stands by for 'but we have to think of newbies' type posts

Don't you just LOVE computers?

Quote from CharlieP :

A lot of posts just from the 1 review

I didn't read the review.... I see no point in it for me.

LFS for me is the best experience I've ever had on a computer, it's not the graphics, sound, physics etc that does it for me, it's the whole package. The fun, excitement, frustration, determination.... you can go through many emotions and states whilst racing online

Good post Charlie, summed it up for me.

Quote from Ignatz :

and it's very important to have clutch control for race starts.

Not in LFS it ain't.

Quote from ATHome :

Profiler Setup:

Overall Effect Strength: 100%
Spring Effect Strength: 0%
Damper Effect Strength: 0%

Enable Centering Spring = OFF

Use Special Steering Wheel Settings = ON

Report Combined Pedals = OFF
Degrees Of Rotation = 720°


Ingame Setup:

Wheel turn: 720°
Wheel turn compensation: 1.00
Force Strength: 65-85 depending on car (FXO GTR for example 65, UF 1000 85)

Ditto, except 100% Force strenght in LFS

I am the archetypal sucker. I got GTR after being seduced by the demo. Couldn't wait for it in English so I went the 'translation' route. GTR has now been consigned to the bin! Lousy online accessability. Next came rFactor. Ever the optimist, I bought that to. Wrong! Same online crap.
Whaddya know I was suckered into GTL as well! Straight jacket someone, please! Same online nonsense. I run/ran a dedi GTL server and there's a 'startline' bug whereby some players are trapped in a never-never land and don't get to start. That leads to consternation all round and a general exodus.
Which is a bloody shame because the models, sounds, graphics and 'feel' (once you've got used to it) are good. They shoot themselves in the foot every time.

As for Starforce............If you're on teamspeak and start GTL, Starforce screeches in you ear and knocks out TS. You have to start GTL first. Copy protection is all very well but using a nuke to beat a gang of skinheads is overkill. There are LOADS of ways to prevent piracy but sheesh! Sledgehammer/nuts comes to mind

Sorry GTL you blew it!

All of the above waffle serves only to highlight what a bloody fine game LFS is. If there were the cars, tracks and sounds of GTL and the coding and online accessibility of LFS...........The mind boggles.

Quote from marsden1002 :

Yes running the logitech profiler,

Didnt do this before thou, its since i have partitioned hard disk into 4 sections

What you need to do is: Point the Profiler to the LFS.EXE and then start LFS using a shortcut pointing to Pitspotter.exe
I'm not 100% certain if it's necessary, but I have the 'Apply profiles to games automatically' selected in Profiler. That is in 'Global Profiler settings'
Hope that helps.

Are you running Logitech Profiler? If you are I think I have the answer.

We've had a very well supported LX4 evening on Dead Men Racing. There's stiil 6 people on now.

Quote from JackSun :

Thanks for reply, I got it to work eventaully.
Is there any way to make it look into the skins folder of the LFS diectory by default so I dont have to copy the same file to both locations?

Reading between the lines, I see he says "sorry, we haven't done 'manners' at school yet"

Quote from Batterypark :

What is your server called then? I just want to make sure I'll never accidentally join.

What's the name of your server I'll try to make sure I do join. Great idea.

Good, I mean good, job! Well done.

It begs the question, why bother to have a code? Beats me.

Doesn't that make nicking car radios a profitable sideline again?

Beaming eh? That's the very thing that gets me places. For every driver that 'beams' I move up a slot. Beam me up Scotty

Quote from Gabkicks :

and thats what we want, lol:doh:

Aaah. I missed that bit.

Quote from Gabkicks :

i dont think you understand,
he wants it to do it for each car. like the formula cars have a lock of 450. ad the roadcars +ufr xfr have 720, and the gtrs have 540, and mrt has 180. We want to feel the ffb change for each car.

Which it does. The only thing you don't get is the FF 'stop' at the end of the various rotations.

It already does the job. Set the Wingman profiler to 720 degrees, set the rotation in LFS to 720 degrees, wheel turn compensation all the way over to the right (1) and LFS automatically gives you the rotation required for each car.
Doesn't he already have a DFP?
