Has anyone been able to get rid of the big race control message that shows up in the middle of the screen when you've completed a lap or passed a split?

The text is just in the way at this point.

Discussions about bringing more content to demo players keep coming up from time to time, and honestly nothing else is worth allowing demo players to use unless its something game-changing (i.e. new graphics).

The intention of demo is for players to try the demo version before deciding whether or not to purchase the game. I have seen demo players that registered in 2016 and are still playing

just so you know:
That image is so small, no one is gonna be able to find `BlockLine_01`

What's the point of creating a feature that already exists?

I haven't made one myself but i believe its a combination of heading and distance to the cars ahead of you.

Heading is used to define the x axis.
Distance is used to define the y axis.

You can use any image editor that is able to export to .jpg. I use Affinity Designer. Here's a short list of applications you can use:

- GIMP
- Photoshop
- Canva
- Pixlr

To save yourself from some pain and headache in the long run. You should use multiple classes (instead of one class for everything) following SRP (Single Responsibility Principle)

Regarding managing connections, you should look into LFSServerRuleEnforcer github repository. It was developed by xspeedasx.

InSim.txt is valuable as well for packet documentation.

I spent a couple of hours when i ran into this exact issue. Long story short - After updating drivers/firmware for my devices and restarted my pc, it was all working again.

I did also try a seperate LFS installation, but same result. LFS is not to blame here.

After all that, I'm still not sure if it was a driver issue or windows 11 issue.

Quote from X1R30 :

How i can play online

1) Download and install the game
2) Open game
3) Click unlock buttom right and enter your username and game-password.
4) Find a server and connect.

Quote from Rob2003 :

Yeah, I am aware of that, but since other commands support "up", "down", "left", "right", my best guess was that it would be the same for the /key command, which either it isn't, or I am just not clever enough to figure it out haha.

I've been playing around with it and i haven't been able to figure it out either.
Its likely that there was just never implemented any support for it.

Even after reading through the entire documentation for LFS Commands (host and local), there are no indications that it is possible.

It even says at the bottom of the page of LFS Manual:

Quote :

Parameters for the key commands (press / shift / ctrl / alt)

Is there a reason why you specifically need to use the arrow keys? Isn't there another way around it?

I was browsing the list of commands in LFS Manual and stumbled upon a command that lists how many hosts there are for each license type (s1,s2 etc.).

I believe the command just hasn't been updated when S3 was added to the game.

Command:

Output:

Expected output:

Its nothing major, but should still be updated
EDIT: For context - i am using D58

I'm not entire sure what you're trying to say here.

If you have a graphics card you want to install on your motherboard, but is not able to - you should post in
https://www.lfs.net/forum/84-Video-cards

If you already have it installed on your motherboard, you could go into LFS Options > Graphics, at the bottom you can change the adapter (graphics card) you want to use. Or post here: https://www.lfs.net/forum/5-Technical-Assistance
(don't forget to keep your drivers up-to-date )

Or if you think this is a bug, you should post here: https://www.lfs.net/forum/10-Bugs---Program

There was a discussion about it recently, you just need to update LFS to D50 (or later)

https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/106088-how-to-update-version-to-0-7d50-plz%3F

The training is just training, it doesn't grant you any licensed content. As mentioned above, you need to purchase a license if you wish to get access to more cars and tracks.

I'm one of the few that never really had any interest for the GTA games. Although, i was impressed when GTA V was released with the huge jump in physics and graphics.

I'm interested to see what they're gonna do differently in GTA VI. Rockstar should've considered one of the bigger modded communities out there and grab some content from there, i.e. FiveM

Also, is there a way to edit the position of the edit window? gets in the way....

Yes, you can click on Customize UI in that menu and then that same button will change the text to [click to edit], click it once and you will be able to change the position.

I set up that same version on my end to test the updating process and everything appears to be working just fine here. It did successfully update to 4.4.5 without any issues.

Could you try and right click on the LFS Companion.exe and run as administrator and then try the updating process again?

Worst case scenario - you could keep the insim closed and click on the AutoUpdate.exe in the same directory, which will attempt to force-update the insim.

Quote from cuni :

Whilst auto updating, got the access to the path error. Ran with admin rights, still the same.
The lfs interface to accept update works good

*sigh*

Could you check if it has generated an error message in the logs?

Quote from seksen :

Will the average fuel consumption feature be added in the future?

Yes

Download LFS Companion v4.4.5

I started racing on LFS a couple of months ago and have had so much fun. I have planned to store laptimes and split times in the local database for the insim, with an in-game window to browse through your times.

If you have any input on this, i could write it down in my notes. This isn't something that will be done right away, as i have some other issues i need to take care of first.

EDIT: My racing teammate mentioned something about theoretical PB, if anyone has any idea how to get that value(how to do the math) i could do that as well.

Changing the strings was a good idea, i had not heard of dipped either. I refer to them as low/high beam.

I wanted to mention that it wouldn't remember the last light mode i had.
Reproduce: Shift+3 and set light mode to side. Press 3 twice and it will be set to dipped.

I believe i used the side lights. I just figured it was worth a mention.

You should post the solution you found in english so that other players facing the same problem as you can come back to this post.

LFS Companion v4.4.3
- Renamed Avg. Fuel to Fuel Consumption.
- Fuel Consumption is updated every second (1000ms) instead of updating every 250 meters driven.

Download LFS Companion v4.4.3

Quote from cuni :

The link provided on the first post is just the update from 4.4 to 4.4.2, not the full package containing all the necessary files. Also, forgot to update the text to 4.4.2

The download link to the insim provided in the 1st post is not an update, its all you really need to get yourself set up. It generates the necessary files and downloads the auto updater upon starting up.

I fixed the text though.

Quote from seksen :

I just tried the programme for the first time. I think the fuel consumption data shows instant consumption, not average. Because it resets when you release the throttle. You need to add the average consumption feature separately.

Good point.

I'll probably just keep one type of fuel consumption, and that will be average.
