Quote from The Very End :

...Although I see the point about racing on same grounds, but all I wanted was at least the possibility to change the view in the cockpit. Even not much, but to somewhat get a better looking, wouldn't call that a too great advantage.

My God! I never in a million years thought I'd see those words written by TVE. Whatever next, Zeugnimod?

Not RBS I hope.

Quote from runeman :

Ah.... kids... I got a picture of something like you said.

I saw an American bumper sticker that said 'Hire a teenager while they still know everything'
Made me smile.

Let him carry on. He wouldn't believe you whatever you said. Don't you know, kids know everything.

Quote from three_jump :

really?

I just trawled through it and it isn't mentioned specifically but it comes under the AIM configuration. You can put whatever info wherever you like. As default fuel is bottom left, last lap is bottom right. Dig around, you're a bright chap.

Quote from three_jump :

Well, it's been my 2nd evening using the multiplayer and it's really really nice when you forget all apart from the driving itself.

I know nkp is meant to be a hardcore sim, but some basic stuff like blue flags (not even mentioning a fuel display) would be hell of a help. Or that the screen wouldn't go totally blank when it's loading a car (while standing still, but it's annoying). It's all those small things that really make a difference.

But I'll wait and see for the next patch (whenever that is ), but at the moment it's not worth the money for me.

Fuel is located bottom left of the dash board. I'm sure it's in the manual

Quote from mrfell :

On a happy note.....
I've just bought the game from playing the demo, just spent the last couple of minutes downloading all the extra tracks!! Even tried, really badly, going around Monaco in the FF1800 heheheheh. Just need to concentrate on 1 track and venture online.

Well done

Leave it Moose, he's not worth it.

Quote from StableX :

A sim is on the right track when a driver tries the demo, sees all the issues and errors but can tell the car "feels" right and still buys the full version!

This can't be right! I agree with you.

Quote from three_jump :

it's been prolly mentioned here before, but how can I get more than 5 servers in the connection list?

or are there just 5 servers?

Do you just have the demo? If you do you'll only see F1600 servers.

Quote from The Moose :

No one likes my setups anyway, you've been warned

Not true. I just alter the seat position and the ff gain...scrub that, I've discovered HARDMODE=1 Perfick!

Quote from Timdpr :

I actually had it enabled already, so I disabled it and guess what!

It still didn't work. Thx anyway.

Do you use the Profiler? If so, is there a profile for nKP? If so, does the profile point to nks.exe? If so, set the wheel turn to 400 degrees,
Or...In nKP garage go to the setup 1 tab and find ff gain(I think) and ff something else and set them to 0. This is a 'per setup' setting.
My guess would be something along the lines of the first option though.
HTH

Seriously, I think demo drivers should have all the cars and all the tracks. How else will they know whether they like the product? Oh, and it should be for an unlimited time as well so that that can properly assess it. THEY NEED TO BE SURE!

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Well I downloaded 1.0.3 yesterday, installed it just now, copied my license/drivers folders across and started reading this thread, but now after reading this thread I don't know if I can be bothered to get my wheels out of the loft to give it a try.

This is novel Kev, when did you start taking notice of stuff written in this forum. I thought you formed your own opinions and they took notice of you!

Quote from three_jump :

I'm still not able to figure out how to setup my dfp properly with a linear steering.

900° degrees in the profiler and linear in the options but it's nowhere linear. and clicking on the manual button does nothing than sending adobe to eating some ram and cpu

EDIT:
how to setup steering isn't even mentioned in the manual...

Set up a profile for nKP (point it at nks.exe) and set the wheel turn to 400 degrees. It's spot on!

Quote from ssm :

Just wondering, how do I use the clutch in NKP demo?

Interesting question. I use a clutch for starts, whether out of the garage or the start line. In the F1600 you have to lift off the throttle to change gear. The clutch isn't necessary. However, faster changes can be made by de-clutching, in fact you can do full throttle changes. Keep you foot planted on the gas, dip the clutch at the same time move the lever. Very satisfying. Oh yes, I have auto clutch turned off which means if you spin your car you'll have to throw out the clutch or you'll stall.
Hope that helps.

... I wasn't being serious, I was just joking. I don't know how you can tell me to "stop all those comments", as I have never publicly complained about the slow progress of netkar pro.

I tried to warn him, but it was too late!

It's ready. I just think they're scared of you lot!

Quote from mrfell :

I haven't bought this game, yet, however, it took me about 5 -10mins of playing with the ff1600 to realise that you didn't need the cockpit display to be able to drive properly. Its only got 4 gears, so not to difficult to remember which gear you were in, and the engine sound gave enough info to know when to change gear. Run the demo again with an open mind and the ff1600 becomes quite enjoyable to have a blast around in.

You are quite right in all that you say....it's the 'open mind' bit that's the problem.

And they said it would never last. Grats (as they say)

What happens if a Z5 client joins a server with XFGs, does he still have ABS?

Are you still interested in crashes? I had my first ctd in LFS after about 800 test patches. Quite exciting!
Address 0x000000006d9dae7c. I was so surprised I'm not sure what the cause was. I was in the garage/windowed and hit full screen and bang!
Hope that's helpful.

Quote from Mille Sabords :

I am still following this thread closely, out of interest for the adventure the iracing team has started.
When I log in here I am looking for the opinion of people who race or used to race in LFS and have rented iracing, and thus can bring forward a valid comparison between the 2 sims.
I am also looking for the posts of LFSers who have not even set a wheel into iracing, because a good percentage of the LFS community is composed of individuals with interesting views on racing sims, and a rare to find open-mindness, all that combined with the capacity to write proper English.

I am interested in what iracing will achieve and also a bit scared that if they succeed they may create a new trend. I still wish them good luck in the process, and without having tried the game I can say here on LFS forum that I disagree with the pricing policy and marketing show iracing created.

Mille, you've entered dangerous waters here. Best watch from the shore.

.... I'm currently using my own blank file for the horn, and it also works (mercifully ).

A man after my own heart. Nothing worse than the mindless blowing of horns.

Wouldn't it be nice if these were downloadable with your skin? I mean, I've got the English plate and therefore every plate I see will be English. Mmmm, on the other hand.....
