I would also like to hear thoughts about this as well, it sounds nice to use pedals for a cruising purpose. I mostly hang out on cruise servers and i use purely mouse.
Mouse to gas, brake and steer. Keyboard for gear up/down.
I'm sort of having the same issue. When I do SHIFT+F4, LFS gives me a black screen and I'll have to restart my computer to fix it. Once it has started up again, its fine.
I'm sure this can be fixed by updating my graphics drivers, but i just haven't got to doing it yet.
For a few days now I've been having a sound issue with LFS. There's this sound that is always in the background when I'm playing LFS, i could literally mute LFS with SHIFT+N and it'll still be there.
But if i minimize LFS in windows, the sound is gone. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
Not sure what it sounds like, it would go under the same category as white noise from radios.
I'm not a skin designer by any means, but if I were a demo user I would use that money to buy myself an S2 license (or even S3).
S2 does bring more maps and cars.
But i don't know how serious you are about your team. Regardless, i hope you find what you're looking for.
Just think of where you could grab such value. The IS_NCN packet should do the trick, grab the PName value and save it somewhere easily accessible.
eg: Have a dictionary of connections, and a dictionary of players. Save the value to the connections dictionary, that way you can have a list of vars you can use at any time by calling connections.variable.
For the players, you can add a player when they leave the pits and remove one when they spectate or leave. If you count the players dictionary, you can see how many players are on the track.
I'm not infront of a computer with LFS right now. But if you go into your settings, then Controls. Have a look at what the Ignition is set to. By default it is 'i'.
I believe the unlock limit is there to prevent people from spamming it.
Every week you get +1 unlock. If you have used all your unlocks and wish to unlock one more time, you can always contact the devs at https://www.lfs.net/mailus
I don't have much else to say, other than keep it up. Me among a bunch of others can't wait for the release. When it does release, we all know what track I'll be playing.
