hey frank nice to hear you are still working on it.

but what is new in 0.9?

Nah, we just need "Bad Weather" Server running always in non-sunny conditions once we have real weather in lfs.

Quote from Mike85 :

What if they made totaly automated servers for all possibel combos. They would run 24/7. AI controled. So you could drive whatever you wanted.

Then the problem would be getting people on there.

But could it be done?

Well there ARE lots of servers running where you can simplay join and select the track/car you like to run. It's not the problem of servers not available it's simply that people go on servers where other people are.

There is a whole subforum about getting data from LFSWorld...

I like the new Sounds!

Quote from detail :

That's the same as Cedega (Wine) in Linux. It is not a porting engine, but a Win-API emulator for Mac (Cedega for Lin).

If you have Mac, you can run LFS in this program on your own, it needs no action from the developers.

Cider is targeted at game developers and publishers and, unlike Cedega, is not an end user product.



It's not "the same for mac".

Hankstar: I like your signature ^^

Quote from geezer45 :

LFS updater is a good feature, but I'd like an additional EXE which has a sole purpose of checking/installing updates. It just seems like a lot of dicking around starting up LFS, downloading the patch, being thrown out of LFS, then waiting for LFS to restart. Or maybe I'm just lazy .

An independent 'LFS Updater' EXE would not require much RAM at all to run, so users wouldn't have to wait at the loading screen twice just to install a patch. This EXE would complement the existing system, not replace it.

Also, because I'm quite busy at the moment with my 'real' work, I will currently only play LFS when I know there is an update. Being able to quickly check when I turn on my computer in the morning will let me know if I can get straight into my work or whether I will become a slave to LFS for an hour

+1 or -1 ?

Maybe you should check that you have the quick start mode enabled....

Starting LFS takes uhmm.. 2 seconds?

Options - Misc - Load track when starting

Quote from sinbad :

Agree about the engines, XFGTi in particular should be a real fizzy little firecracker, and I don't get that impression from the current sounds, but (although it was technically a much poorer sound) the original sounds did give me that impression.

General question now, anyone else find the gear-whine totally uninspiring? It's more like a whistle, the sound is the same for every car and only the volume is altered. It needs to be much more agressive and dynamic, more gear and throttle dependant, not just louder on the GTR race cars, and should not just be the same sound as on the road cars but at a different volume.
THIS is gearbox whine
(I know we don't have that car too btw)

Quote from XGremlinX_pt :

completly agree with that

I would prefer if the "big green button" automatically selects a server (based on language version, ping whatever) and starts the downloads.

Quote from Viesturs :

This is one interesting bug, my car is in garage but the shadow is on the roof .

Please.... only TESTPATCH related stuff in here...

Quote from Vain :

At least U30 will still be compatible with V, yes?

Vain

20 bucks on "not compatible" ;P

Quote from Sp3cTr3 :

where can I see whats changed in u33?

Autoupdater worked like a charm

First post.

Quote from S0ul :

one thing i notice...i guess this wasnt in U32.When i do a qualifying there is no minimap because the results just seem to be layed over it. Before the map used to switch the side of the screen so it wont get blocked,but it doesnt do that anymore so i have to switch it manually when qualifying....Please fix that
I love the new sound by the way
S0ul

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

U32: Small map is now never shown on the left if right is selected

Quote from Bawbag :

I did however get this when I opened the server list.

I'm guessing you can't see S1 servers with the new patch, as it only showed up after I updated.

OK now this is weired!

I mean you can see servers running Version 0.5: U, U15, U20, U23, U25, U30, U32
Then there are a few listened as wrong version running 0.5: T, U19, U21, U28

And I see some S1 servers running U20, U30, U32

Any chance that the auto updater displays the changelog ingame so we don't need to check the board?

i still think scawen is simulating the drivers helmet

Quote from daNieLbuM :

the ignition sound is cool

jeah but ignition sound and ignition are somehow.. "off"

Just out of interest... Is it right to post crashes only in this thread and not in the Bugs-Program section?

If it is here my crash after pressing Alt+F4 on U32 running a race with AI.

Quote from al heeley :

isn't it more important to see it as a driver than as a tv viewer when you are playing the sim?

I think the most important thing would be to see if the car behind you has made it's stop yet ^^

well done, except the anti alaising


btw: my WMP plays sound but graphics is very "greenish" and my VLC plays graphics but sound stops every second for a second... :/ (had to play sound in wmp and graphics in vlc and press start in both programs ^^)

But your car is invisible when you sit inside?

pitting after a crash is unrealistic ;P

Quote from traxxion :

Hmm I quoted a bit too much of the suggestion, put the flag on the car windows is what I agree with...! Over the cars is a bit too much indeed (imo).

Or just cycle it with N

Name above car - Name and Flag above car - Flag above car (how silly) - nothing bove car but list - nothing

Quote from neilmichaelcasey :

yeah 1/4 mile race? ;P

Quote from Blas89 :

Yeah why people doesnt speak Spanish xD well when other people speak another languagge i just stay there trying to learn something and if is german i say "bümsen" or "tchuess" when i gotta go xD, hardly to know

yo hablo espanol ;P
pero no muy bien y escribier es mas dificil

it's very practical if you can understand many languages, and if you learned latin at school you know even more ;D

Quote from duke_toaster :

I speak some German but not enough to understand people talking on TS and i can understand some on text chat.

Maybe the LFS community could make a sim racing phrasebook lol.

As for automated translation, once I translated an Italian recipe and it came out with bullshit.

Ok let's start with a common phrase:
"Beweg deinen Arsch von der Strecke" -> "Move your ass out of the way"

Quote from Woz :

I would prefer they remove the electronics and make the race about skill instead of computer control.

LFS without computer Oo illepall
