Quote from rane_nbg :My first PC had a 133MHz CPU and I was super happy with it Smile

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 :Frown 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.

Randomly generated street circuits aren't _good_ content. Sure it'd be infinitely more tracks but few of them would be good.

Quote from Cutie pie :Are you running LFS on Windows or SteamOS?

SteamOS. Windows so far has just been for iRacing which also runs at 80-100 FPS at Catalyuna.

Quote from mbutcher :Impressive. Every time I see posts about the Steam Deck, I want one more and more... This might just do it if the experience is good enough?

It's definitely a tale of 2 (or 3) devices. When it works (and it does work 95% of the time) it's fantastic. When it doesn't work it feels clumsy. For instance I spent the better part of 2-3 hours debugging why my games wouldn't launch before realizing that somehow one of the runtime parts got corrupt. Had to go and delete it and get Steam to redownload it and then everything worked well. With another game, for whatever reason, it got corrupted both times during download and it took me tons of troubleshooting to realize that I just needed to verify game data and then it worked.

On the bright side too it does run Windows really well with official (but unsupported by Valve) drivers. So for games that don't work in Linux because of Anti-cheat (iRacing in my case) you can always create a SD card with Windows on it and dual boot. This also gives a bit of reassurance that if the SteamOS experience isn't good enough or Valve abandons it that you're still in a state where it can just be a portable PC.

I'm glad I got my reservation when I got it becuase it's nice to have for the past week. Wish I just had more free time to actually play games with it rather than somewhat proof of concept all my usecases for it.

Unlocked FPS with full AI I'm about 150-200 FPS at Westhill.

Not too bad for a handheld.

What's there for LFS to improve? LFS has its data exposed. If Simhub is trying to run LFS incorrectly that's up to SimHub to fix.

The error message suggests it's trying to exec LFS.exe without setting the current directory to be the LFS directory which will cause issues as LFS won't load assets properly.

Quote from Kid222 :Is that all the deck got or do you have 70 fps lock? Tongue

60 FPS lock enabled for everything. I'm sure if I disabled that I'd hit the LFS default 100FPS lock.

60 lock is interesting because of how little power it consumes. Only 9W of power draw gives about 4-5 hours of play. There's also a way to set the display to 40hz which is another way to save even more power without overly affecting game smoothness (as 40hz is basically perfectly in the middle of 30 and 60 for frame timing).

Quote from paket42x :Personally i dont know much about those fees u talking about, but some people who just into this crypto stuff, well they will have an opportunity to buy a nice car physics simulator and thats it.

Somehow I doubt Scawen who has had a fairly environmentalist stance on things would accept crypto which wastes an incredible amount of energy and resources, especially when compared to the number of transactions it actually processes.

Quote from paket42x :I can say to my russian friends about this particular guy, if he tries to help u with buying the S3, u must SEND the MONEY
Is that working scheme?Omg omg omg

But if we are talking seriously here, i think adding payment possibilities like Bitcoin, Etherium e.t.c will change something for "banned" countries

It's almost like the countries being banned from participating in financial transactions is for a reason.

Crypto is never a solution because the overhead and environmental for a single transaction is so great. Right now you'd pay about $40-50 USD in fees for a $50 USD transaction to buy LFS S3.

Yes. It's only 18 GBP, not 36 GBP

Fixed setups are common in other sims and there's nothing wrong with them. Having the ability for the server to force a given setup for a car would be fine.

Quote from ACCAkut :so linking alt-right racists is allowed on your forum these days, Scawen? Next to giving Russian propaganda a place to shine?

I mean he's been repeatedly banned for spreading tons of conspiracy garbage. The fact he gets unbanned and continues to post similar drivel implies that it's ok at some level.

Quote from bishtop :id have to agree with you, in the past it's been something that had put me off joining events, not just on LFS but on other MP games also.

I mean at this point is fairly normal. No different to joining a TS/Mumble/Ventrilo server in the past. Main difference is that the server host doesn't get your IP or anything so you're more protected from attacks.

Quote from Ped7g :Looks good to me, I have no more quick suggestions.

The logos using less height are slightly irking to my OCD, but no idea what to do about that. (I guess aligning their top with the top of info area looks equally irking then, with large bottom empty? Too lazy to fire up GIMP to check myself Smile )

Hopefully organisers will optimise the graphics over time to fit perfectly with other content on the main screen.

Top aligned would probably look better.

Quote from NENE87 :For visibility, you need a real "challenge" with a prize to be won! (to be clear, I hate the physics of other games and I don't care about the graphics) we are all "adults" now, the younger ones fun with hospital bed/sandwich/rocket balloon/... I'm looking for realism and found it on lfs. Every player is looking for what they want, how many people are looking for realism? Steam might disappoint a bunch of "drivers"

If other sims were dead/non-existent then maybe you'd have a point that the number of people looking for realism is low, but other sims have 10-20k simultaneous active users on a daily basis where LFS caps out at 300 active users at once.

There's a market for sim racing and LFS once was the leader in terms of content/variety/multiplayer but it is not that anymore.

Quote from NENE87 :No steam please, i love the "artisanal" way of lfs and his own forum etc... All fortnite's kids will come and test lfs => CRASHERS NOOO!

Sounds like it would be a real crime if there were people playing LFS.
