I guess you think the Russian military is just in Ukraine having a vacation, right?

Quote from Ped7g :

it's based on Newton's physics laws, which are not truly correct/accurate, but work good enough for this kind of simulation. Those were published in 1687. They still apply also to TCR, GT4 and GT3. I wouldn't be worried about the core of the LFS simulation engine too much, especially if the tyre simulation rewrite will work as planned. (other subtle details should be easier to fix, less than 10 years )

Yes physics hasn't changed but a big part about driving a TCR/GT4/GT3 is the electronics. They all have TCS and ABS systems which LFS does simulate but those systems have changed in the 15 years since implementation to be far more race-y. The TCS system in most GT3 cars has so many properties to adjust to maximize speed while still retaining some of the TCS safety.

I mean that is iRacing. Assuming a normal licence cadence, as a Rookie you're likely gonna have a few weeks in the Miata, from there you graduate to D licence with a few cars available to master, but you can't go and race a wide range of cars from the start.

Yeah. Officially ARM Windows is OEM only. Parallels is doing some shady things to get a version of ARM Windows to install for parallels.

It worked ok in Parallels when I recently tried as long as sound was disabled. Sound dropped FPS to an unusable level.

Crossover doesn't really work. Even if you do launch it, the FPS is uselessly bad.

GT7 has the ability to reset the ghost at each sector

Quote from Aleksandr_124rus :

iRacing is a slightly different game, it more "pro" lvl, there's a higher price tag which increases the threshold for competent people. We still have a lot of not very sane people. If all sorts of kids, spammers and flooders go to voice chat we must first figure out how to deal with them.

It's only a different game becuase LFS has, more or less, stayed static for a long time. Many of the top drivers in iRacing used to be top LFS drivers in its heyday. Heck, I stumble across the odd old LFS driver who recognizes me on a semi-regular basis (especially considering my timezone is suboptimal for most).

This topic is talking about the widely used open source app https://thecrewchief.org

I don’t understand why this is necessary when people interested in voice chat have programs like discord and teamspeak.

One of the best community features of iRacing is built in voice chat. It humanizes who you're racing with.

The discord is in the footer of the forums.

There's an official LFS discord that's relatively active. Like it or not but platforms like Teamspeak and Mumble have become incredibly niche.

Yes, I'm aware you're selling your data for it. But "money grubbing" is a weird way to describe free services.

I'm still wondering how Discord is money grubbing gone rampant considering you can use all of its features for free with paid options just extending them a bit.

There is no legitimate discount code for LFS. Most of those sites are complete garbage that exist just to get clicks for ad revenue.

J.K. Rowling canceled, accused transphobia in the Harry Potter book

Oh it's not just accused. She's doubled down hard about being a TERF. It's not "accused transphobia" it's just "transphobia".

She also clearly hasn't been cancelled if people still have to hear her dangerous hateful shit takes. She's also not "ruined" as she can just go wipe her tears in her olympic sized pool full of money.

Full "freedom of speech" is part of the issues in the US, including free displays of hate.

He would have helped deter any of this from happening had he been in a second term.

He'd have American soldiers invading Ukraine alongside his Russian allies.

I don't think the AI in LFS learn anymore. The original AI did, but like a decade ago Scawen did work on them to make them faster and now they don't learn from racing.

Quote from sinanju :

Any reason for not just using the SteamVR Performance Test?

Admittedly, you can't change default resolution for test, but if it won't pass default, then no way will it go larger resolution.


Couldn't find this setting after opening the Debug Tool.

10th option down in the main set.

You may be able to install Oculus software and then in Oculus Debug Tool tehre's a "debug HMD type" option.

Git isn't magic though. If Scawen has completely rearchitected how physics works with everything, that merge is still hell.

It sounds like Scawen has _some_ method of archiving, as that's how he was able to rebuild the LX8 version of LFS and release it officially.

Hi Fellow Racer!, i use a wheel and when i play for too long my legs hurt do you know how to fix this problem?

Remember that the pain is your body telling you that something's wrong. This may mean your sitting position isn't good enough or (if you're using something like load cell pedals) you need to strengthen your legs (outside of racing) to be comfortable to apply the brake during racing conditions.

Might be broken only for Left Hand Drive or Right Hand Drive. Depends if you're mirroring the whole model on side change or just the interior subobject

Quote from BeNoM :

CPUs don't have VRAM, they allocate some of the standard RAM for video/3D rendering.

He's not entirely wrong. The 4790k has a Intel HD Graphics 4600 which will only allocate up to 2GB of VRAM.

Newer Intel iGPUs will use up to 50% available system memory.

Scawen, you should update the URL to be HTTPS in the first post. In some browsers, it won't allow a HTTP download from an HTTPS source, and just silently fails/does nothing.
