Quote from iFastLT :It's impossible to get it working for demo racers in legal way and nobody here won't tell you the illegal way. Simpliest way would be to buy S2 licence or just to forget the tweak

yeah and even when you get your s2 licence, you wont get any (tweak) help here trust me!

look the only reason i wanna use tweak is simple!!!!
i want to drive a (SMALL,FAST,FWD,TURBOCHARGED CAR WITHOUT SH*TTY BUDGET TIRES) that is all

I like simulators right! not so much games but sims, lots of diferent ones!
i like to simulate real life as much as possible why????? i dunno i just do? and it just so happens that the car i drive is a ( 260bhp leon cupra r) with all my pals having (aniversary golfs n ibiza curpras, mk4 r32....ok ok forget this one

all around the 200bhp - 300bhp mark all(SMALL,FAST,FWD,TURBOCHARGED CARS WITHOUT SH*TTY BUDGET TIRES) well except mine my frontS are BALD!!!!!

anyways why the hell i feel like i owe you lot some sort of reason for wanting to use tweak??? i dunno

xfg-1.8cc-turbocharged-300bhp-fwd-slick tyres= simulation , well at least for me

Quote from Neoman15M :The turbo speed tweak is to tune how your turbo spools up. You can have a very laggy one or one which spins up quickly.I tried it and it is great fun, ..........but anyway my point is LFS is best not to be tweaked, and if you want to discuss about mods and tweaks I advise you to NOT do it here. This is for discussion of the original z28 LFS game.

ok i will settle for just this one thing a maybe a slick mod for whatever patch im running

just tell me how the "turbo speed" tweak works for sure???

I find changing the turbo speed has (no affect what so ever over) over any car in lfs at all??? none not a sausage whether it be s1,s2 or demo cars. wtf is going on ppl ???

pls help me understand instead of just telling me "your one f*cking works"

(1) can i turbo....rather can you! turbo none "ANY" none turbo cars with it?? i dont hold much hope for this one but if not please tell me why its fillind in (0.4) under xfg ,xfr,and uf1 i think it is???

(2) as the standard config looks the turbo speed for all cars ranges between 0.2 and 1.1 changing any of these values dont work for any car at all.

even if i range far away from these figures to numbers like(1.654321) like the original tweak and still nothing!!!
tryed it in most cars.

what am i doing wrong???

pls help

look people i dont wanna play r factor ok??

i just want to play lfs with a few mods ie: controlling turbocharger, adding slick tyres and stuff! what is the big problem with that???

look let me break it down for ya....

im gonna stick my head on the block and say with regret that around a week ago before i got my s2 licence i was using a *cracked z25* right

and i was so impressed that i bought it...payed money for it

i know i know its bad balahhh blahhh..
but my point is i enjoy lfs more than some people here!! so please dont push me off onto other games just cos i want some simple mods wich would make my lfs experiance even better than it allreaddy is

oh and just to say i have tryed tweak3 with z25 and it works for adding slicks and stuff but i cant get the turbo speed to work??? its driving me crazy

ive seen a tweak for z28 knocking around but its foreign language and i dont think its like one of the approved ones?? or some crap like that

well tbh i have never even clicked the multiplayer tab in lfs
i been using the demo for a few weeks and kinda forget about multiplayer?

my current pc is that poor a i cant even race 1 or 2 AI
i am definatly gonna try online soon as i upgrade sure, but for the time bieng its just me in a car, on a track on, my own, in a 400bhp xfg turbo
where is the harm in this i ask???????

sure im not gonna use any tweaks or mods for online racing!!!!!
i mean wtfs the point???

anyways i think i know whats going on a bit more now
its kindda confussing for begginers tho with (lfs mods) sitting directly above (lfs forum) in the google search results for (lfs)

anyway i got 2 seperate folders now so i can tweak till the cows come home!!!

Thats a list of addons here at LFS Forum, many are not what you want, though 1 or 2 may be close.

You really wont find any other car mods/tweaks here, that are supported by the forum or developers.

"Legally or whatever" to use your words.. What is "legal" is enough info here for you (bascially you arent going to find much in way of mods - be happy with what LFS is), and "whatever" is not worth discussing as it is not allowed or supported.

LFS is what it is. Its not a game open for tweaking/modding (at this time)

firstly thanks for pointing me somewhere at least
secondly i think you may have read the words "legally or whatever" wrong my friend wrong interpretation

Quote from Forbin :Look up the slang definition for "tweaker."

Your posts read as though they were written by someone on speed, and you were talking about tweaking LFS. A not so subtle play on words, if you will.

man i dont know about you? but i aint got time to be playing stupid "look it up see for youself" kinda games here ok!
i never even heard of the term "TWEAK" till i joined here anyways all this is new too me bud???

oh and my questions do not require your rudeness thanks verry much
i kinda got a life ouside of cpu games..... ok ok its a simulator im sorry

but im new here ok and rather than make myself look like a complete idiot instead of a little bit of an idiot i ask questions??

lots of em!! whats wrong??

Quote from SilverArrows77 :4) Any "mods" - modifications to the Live for Speed exe, must be discussed with a moderator before being released on the forum. If a mod is approved by a moderator, it may then be released in the appropriate section of the forum. Please do not contact a developer as we do not support mods and do not have the time to deal with them. Any mods which change the shape of a car model, or which allow online cheating or circumvent HLVC, will be rejected.

http://www.lfsforum.net/privacy.htm

Thats enough to infer that vob modifications etc are not welcome, by the official LFSForum. (and talk/content is always removed)

EDIT - wanna change cars and tweak everything to the point of ridicule, then you really are better of with rfactor, as thats kinda what it was made for. LFS is a different kettle of fish, and you just need to be happy with it, as it is (for most part anyway)

well im just checking whats good and whats bad?
seems to be working

anyway this is what i need to know? like where/what are the approved mods?? like what can i use to get some of these things in the first post working for me?? like legally or whatever??

the easiest version to tweak is plain Z. plus, not all cars can be modified using the options in the tweak application, it's just the way the game works. [/QUOTE]

well what are these ppl talking about then z15 tweak, z25 tweak, z28 tweak?

Quote from bunder9999 :
also, we don't support third-party mods found on other websites, especially ones containing vob (car body shape) modifications, as they can screw with the physics engine, so the dev's don't like people using/posting them. same goes for tweak applications that do not abide by the license check system.

are u telling me u cant talk here about cars one may have downloaded??? containing .vob files???

what is .vob is it the file that could say, turn your xfg into lets say,
a civic type r??
who wants to help hank? (tweaker)

ok so im getting kinda frustrated trying to get what it is i really want from lfs first of all im a "tweaker" i like to mess around with stuff,change stuff.

i want to turbo none turbo cars, change the turbo pressure of existing turbo cars,i want cars that shouldnt have slicks to have slicks?
i want to add extra gears to some road cars,change weight, these are just to name a few!

but at the same time as regular lfs user (lfs sounds like its is a drug) i want to keep lfs up to date right?
i mean im new here and only been playing lfs for a few weeks, but i understand that like with all new versions of something the newer version is supposed to be better? or in lfs case more realistic maybe?

i bought a s2 licence and installed a clean version of (alpha) 0.5z as i liked using the early tweak to turbo the xfg and xrg
but i soon wanted to turbo other cars like the ufr and the xfr? also the turbo part didnt work on allready turbo'd cars?
besides running 0.5z makes me think im missing out on stuff?

so i installed patch (z to z25) and as i thought my old tweak dont work! i thought i might use z25 as its a recent patch right? and ive
read of people using tweak sucessfully to tweak most of the things i want too tweak?? not only that my downloaded cars for lfs dont work on 0.5z
and only show up as a bunch of triangles,something to do with the graphics or textures or something i imagine?
something which a patch to a later patch would resolve,i dont know which patch exactly? but it worked for z25!

so i installed z25 tweak and i cant add turbo to none turbo cars anymore? not even the demo cars!!
like there is no option to turn it on for a start like the old tweak, there is only a "turbo pressure" setting which not only comes already filled in as 0.4 under xfg/xrg?? but it dont change the pressure of existing turbo cars like (xrt,rb4,fxo) also there is no option for slicks? i cant add any xtra gears to any cars? i can however change other things like (cc, hp cylinders) so i know tweak version is compatable!

this is another thing that strikes me, is i hear lots of hush hush talk? "ive got a tweak that works but you cant have it" or " not allowed to post a link" some licencing thing or some shit blahh blahh........

do they mean "not for demo users? or some tweaks are not allowed full stop?none of the tweaks and stuff i used or even tryed to use, have ever prompted me for any licence, passwords, or nothing of the sort?
what the hell is going on?

i just dont get it? what exactly am i allowed to do whith lfs? or more importantly i guess what cant i do with it?
(pls no stupid sarcastic posts) like "you cant feed it to a goat, or wash your face with it!!!

i am sorry for the loooooooooooooooooong post, but if these things are availible? then quiet frankley, I WANT EM! i payed the dough just like the rest!

any help on getting fixed up with a decent tweak that "WORKS" with a recent patch? or at least more recent the 0.5z?? and if not well
thanks for reading this far at least!

hank!

Quote from MadCatX :Antialiasing is supposed to smooth the edges of objects so that they don't look so "pixelated". I think that this image demonstrates pretty well what does the AA do.

http://img98.imageshack.us/i/fsaa1lz6.png/

AA requires a decent graphics card to run smoothly, low-end ones will be virtually down to their knees if you apply AA.

yes verry nice!!

but how about a full answer?

where the hell is the option for it in lfs so i can make sure its set low or even off??

if them images aint photoshoped then that looks nice, but not for me just yet

Quote from 65D :If I understood your first question correctly, I have tried both anti-aliasing, Live For Speed's own anti-aliasing and from ATi's Catalyst Control Center.

what/where is this anti-aliasing funtion within lfs????

Quote from dadge :ok, this bit is going to be fun.
65D is able to run LFS smoothly with those specs due to the resolution he is running. 1024x768. he's probs using a 17" monitor. but we don't know if he's using 16bit textures rather than 32bit. we also don't know what quallity settings he is using.
you have a 32" monitor/tv which will be using a bigger resolution. i don't think his system could run LFS smoothly using your monitor/tvs resolution due to more pixels being drawn on the screen.
but yeah, stick LFS on a <20" monitor and you'd be surprised at how little you actually need to run LFS.

its all fun man!!

ok so ive always (well not allways) have a problem with lfs in full screen mode i was hitting some buttons one in the (screen) tab one day trying to squeeze them few fps when i hit a button my lcd couldnt support i guess my screen went black and now i have to run window mode!!!

i could fix this by runing window mode changing to a setting that my tv does support and switching back to fullscreen till it works right? but heres the thing lfs dosent support 50hz looking at my tv it is 50hz?

i am currently using 1280x960 (32) bit 60hz??
oh my windows resolution is the same to cant seem to get it any higher?
i think i have a driver problem maybe?

so blahh blahh ill look for a driver and stuff, but what might be correct settings for my lcd, will runnig (16 bit) get me an increase in fps? i know it will look shieeet but i aint that botherd for now!!! oh and i just measured it for sure and its 30" not 32" its an old one ........toshiba too lol

so i got lfs 05z installed and im using the early tweak! great

but now i have a new problem?
when i download cars from lfs mods i have a graphics issue, im sure you would have heard of it?

its the problem with downloaded cars showing up as loads of triangles??
ive read this before here somewhere after about 15 pages of reading a thread, i think the problem was not using the correct patch or version of lfs?

so here is my problem i want to keep using the earty tweak s20.05z i think it is?

so at what patch/version of lfs does s20.05z stop working and what patch does my graphics problem require

thanks!

Quote from 65D :My computer is very awful, it can run LFS smoothly without anti-aliasing/ filtering @ 1024x768

AMD Sempron SI-40 ~2,0Ghz @ 1 core
2 000 000 KB Random Access Memory
ATi Mobility Radeon HD 3200 ~256 MB

:sorry:

1 ok so this is stupid question but is this anti-aliasing feature in lfs??
or gfx feature? must be gfx cos i aint seen it in lfs

2 do you generaly see increase in fps if you run lfs in window mode?
im just trying to squeze a few more fps out of my current piece of junk pc so i can properly configure my new dfgt

Quote from dadge :lmao. good times. a bit like that little 4x4 panda thing. it only uses 4wd when it needs it. most of the time, it's fwd.

LMAO. remember them pandas??? they would only do 20mph in 4x4
my grandad had one, it had a callender where the speedo should be.

anyways i dont get it? this pc jargon! thanks for trying to help , but
im just not clued up enough

besides it seems like its a never ending cycle? one person recomends one thing, another person says bullshit do it like this.....blah blahh cant you peeps just agree?? quad core... is it 4x cpu? say each at 2.8ghz is it 4x 2.8ghz = 11.2ghz cpu speed or whatever?

11.2ghz does seem like some powerfull shit tho
anyways i really dunno what im talking about so ill stop

Quote from xfirestorm :Most gfx cards nowadays have 1 VGA and one DVI output, some have 2 DVI outputs(HDMI output or not). I've never seen 3 screens on one gfx. I use 2 gfx cards with 2 DVI outputs at work to supply 3 screens.

do they have to be the same? or can i somehow just use the port from one cheap gfx and link it up to the more powerfull one ?
