Please dont talk about it public,it will delay big update

After this long what's another 3 months?

You lock tyre temp irl too?

LFS has some issues with tyre temp modelling. You can see it with the Stock Car where tyres get uselessly hot in a very short amount of time.

It's a little difficult to drive, but it's true, I did it based on what I have, the front slips a lot and when it has grip it tends to roll over, for this mod I just changed the engine for a more powerful one, mine only has 6,5hp



I've flipped a few times, his center of gravity is not very favorable.

Yeah I found the rear suspension to be pretty neat. Watching the AIs rip it around some tracks was funny.

I should try the AI at one of the Kart tracks at Westhill. Seems like a good match.

This is really cool

Quote from Degats :

Several, LFS has had support for a very long time and as I understand it, some major studios have even borrowed LFS OutSim protocol.

Similar with Codemasters as well. Their UDP Protocol at one point was pretty much OutGauge although it's matured well beyond that.

I can't stop looking at these. A b s o l u t e l y B e a u t i f u l

That one makes me wish we got a daytime aerial view of South City as well for a more direct comparison

Quote from Flotch :

Now the question is : where is @Degats for the comparison screenshots of South City ?

Probably still trying to download them all. Those pages are slower than I've sen from other update threads.

I was thinking allow mods to do the same thing that old cheats used to allow which was negative handbrake value for "boost".

It looks like a very nice one, but it has a limit of 14 day trial.

no

Your textures are too high resolution. You're only allowed to use a total texture "size" of 5,000,000 pixels and you're currently using 15,000,000 pixels.

You need to either use lower resolution textures or reuse textures by tiling them when appropriate.

The API version it's using might be deprecated by Discord?

Somewhat related to the title is that Oculus is due to deprecate their Oculus API in favour of OpenXR starting at the end of August.

OpenXR was recently added to iRacing and has brought some interesting improvements. One of which is WMR headsets (HP Reverb G2) no longer need to use SteamVR which improves performance.

Additionally Valve does provide an OpenXR runtime for SteamVR devices and other devices like PiMax have community built (but dev supported via hardware) OpenXR runtimes under development.

It's definitely "the future" for VR headsets and will let developers target a single VR API rather than needing to support multiple APIs.

A i7-4770 is somewhat old but not completely useless. Would be quad core and hyperthreaded. I had one with a 1660Ti and it was ok in VR but not ideal. A 1060 will definitely be on the lower capabilities of VR. I'm pretty sure I was usually at like 45FPS on my CV1 at certain points (it was a long time ago that I seriously ran LFS in VR outside of random hotlaps).

Is there any specific reason why the steering wheel looks a bit strange?? The F1 2022 cars have much bigger Steering wheels in terms of height. Btw, Epic mod!!I really enjoyed it :-))

In real life each team has different wheel designs. Heck the Williams doesn't even have a screen on the wheel.

Quote from RacingSOUL :

Can someone tell me please why does ASW on Oculus kicks in when my GPU load is never above 50%? (cpu is 20%)
With ASW active I get 45fps instead of 90fps even though my PC is clearly capable of more.

ASW only kicks in if your PC can't hit 90FPS so clearly your PC can't hit 90FPS.

LFS is also only single threaded so yes your CPU might only be 20% but that might still be 100% of a single core.

Quote from RacingSOUL :

What is the stuttering you all are talking about? The side scenery moving in micro steps like there are missed frames?

Yeah exccept it's not missed frames, it's just LFS physics being out of sync with the HMD refresh rate.

Quote from rane_nbg :

My first PC had a 133MHz CPU and I was super happy with it

kids nowadays are way too spoiled, what is next? try to run LFS on the wristwatch?

I mean an Apple Watch has the power to do it. Software compatibility is the impossible part.

Quote from fastranker1 :

how is that works, do i need to download any drivers?

It can't work on the Apple Silicon based Macs.

For Intel Macs, there's a "Bootcamp Installer" app in /Applications/Utilities which then you select a Windows ISO, it partitions your HD based on what you select and then installs Windows. Once you reboot into Windows, the drivers are already there and ready to be installed.

Quote from Mr. Apex :

Hey guys

I have been playing LFS on Crossover Mac for ages, recently even used the LFS Editor.

This week I upgraded to Apple Silicon and am surprised to see that even the very demanding sim Beam NG Drive work flawlessy, also Assetto Corsa runs and looks better than ever.

So why would LFS not work? It's way less demanding. Can it somehow not be forced into 64-Bit?




P.S.: What do you guys get? I get a Blackscreen with the mouse stuck in the upper left of the screen
Ironically the LFS Editor keeps working

Crossover shoudl work because it does 32=>64 bit conversion. But Wine itself doesn't ship these (unless Crossover has also provided them to Wine).

I did get LFS working in Wine but performacne was very bad. Disabling sound helped but it took me some coaxing just to ge tpast the loading black screen (I forget what I did to fix it).

Quote from FIZ :

I was thinking the same, but why not consider also 480Hz? It would be almost 5x better overall than now but 2x less CPU intensive than 1000Hz, besides the optimisations Scawen has to do anyway.

If, as Scawen says, the physics update rate can be changed now using a single variable, could it be possible to set this value based on the specific computer power? The more power the more updates, the less power the less updates, so everybody is happy.

Everyone would have different physics and I'm sure someone would figure out the "optimal" rate and find a way to throttle LFS process to hit that rate.

Quote from Momoali33 :

Eggs are required to run Live for Speed ​​on Pterodactyl Panel, how can we handle this?

You cannot host your own LFS servers anymore. You must use LFS' hosting.

Quote from Foch_sho :

What is the problem with writing to the author of the mod so that he changes the sound? You're an adult boy, why solve problems like a child?

I mean it's not unreasonable to ask Scawen to build in some kind of limiter to prevent sounds that could cause damage.

Quote from superlame :

now im a bit worried, im with laptop with intel pentium n3710 1.60ghz ( max 2.56) 4cores. ( and 2gb gpu luckily i support dx12 so at least i can run lfs after update. )

will the update affect me alot with fps / performance. since this processor is kinda lack @scawen

Based on this https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/SpeedTest/141841/IntelR-PentiumR-CPU--N3710----160GHz it's almost one of the worst CPUs benchmarked. Only like 60 or so from last.

There are 10+ year old CPUs that are more performant.
