Well that's the future of LFS. We know they have already tested karts and buggys, so why not bikes, bicycles, soap cars, dragsters, monster trucks, rallye cars, ect. Basically LFS should be capable to simulate everything that has wheels.

That's because of a restriction in the media wiki software, the first character always has to be a capital.

The LFS Wiki is now available on http://manual.liveforspeed.net/

Thanks Vic! :up:

Nice, thanks!

The "Nightrace" and "MRT5" videos by Joe Cool are true classics. Get them here:

Nice, but the clothing doesn't look like the typical racing fan outfit.

Ah, finally a release date - christmas 2007

When you are already on a server you won't notice it. The problem now is to find a server and join it.

Edit: Too slow...

Uups, sorry.

Quote from Xaid0n :

those were good times for F1

Good times for F1 and motorsport when dozens of drivers and hundrets of spectators were killed? illepall

Quote from Becky Rose :

it's fairly obvious the FerrarIA have decided to let Michael win the championship in his last year

So as a team owner, would you decide otherwise? What's more realistic? Massa winning the championship or Schumacher winning it? illepall

Quote from csimpok :

And I think that the option to adjust the temperature of every part of all the tyres would be extremely unreal.

Every part of the tyre yes, but what about a setup option to set the pre-heating temperature of each tyre? I think this option would help hotlappers as well as being realistic - I'm pretty sure that you can set the temperature of the tyre heaters in reallife as well.

I tried something in a hex editor and ended like this.

Btw, a nice proof that LFS is really realistic. The car didn't move at all.

Wow, we really DO need a new LFS patch.

To be honest I see no reason why such a combo would work better on a low spec PC. I ran the dedi on a Pentium 90 Mhz with 64 MB RAM and Windows 98 installed - it worked without any flaws. I doubt that you can manage something like this with Linux and an emulator.

No, it's not possible. And please don't ask Scawen to port the dedi host to MS DOS. You could have asked him this question 15 years ago, but not now. illepall

Well, I think you could just take the stuff from the setup guides of the LFS wiki:
http://wiki.lfs.4players.de/index.php/Car_Setups

What about the compromise to start all hotlaps from the pits, but with pre-heated tyres? This would be my favorite.

Yes, that's the problem. You need to find the right place to cut the replay as well as creating a new header. I only wrote that it "should" be possible, not that it's easy.

But to come back to the initial discussion. I think that for a first version of LFS-TV it would be more than enough to be able to watch the race from the beginning. So we'd only need a program which streams the temp.mpr from the server to the clients - nothing more.

Quote from Peptis :

Instead, the user inputs are loaded from the MPR and fed into the physics engine to generate the next simulation state. Hence there is no way to 'chop' previous data from the file as the current simulation state depends on all that previous data.

That's only true for the single player replays where the user inputs are stored. In the MPR replays however the data packets the client receives from the server (car position, speed, ect.) are stored. So it should be possible to cut the replay and let it start from a later position, you only have to modify the header.

I don't see a problem with this. Every individual would have to watch the replay from the beginning. So his client would connect to the LFS-TV server and download the whole replay which has been uploaded so far.

The main problem is that the client has to continue downloading the replay, so someone needs to write a special software for that.

No one said that you have to download that app. So where's your problem?

I think some people here should learn not to be so hostile towards new users / demo racers.

So who's up for programming such an app? I can help with testing.

I think the "input into LFS" part is pretty simple. The app only needs to write the streamed file into the mpr directory, nothing more. You open the streaming mpr just like any other local mpr. LFS shouldn't even notice that it's streamed.

Wow, that's really great news. So it would basically be possible that e.g. during a EPS race one person is on the server and records the replay. A special software would stream the datafile from his mpr directory and other people could use a client software to save the stream on their HD and watch it? I guess the only problem is writing the software, because there needs to be a LFS TV server software as well which receives the mpr stream from one person and is capable to stream it to dozens of other people.

Anyone's up o do this task? It would be really nice to have some sort of LFS TV in the future.
