And the steering angle may be to big?

You can adjust the steering angle in the setup
imo i think its fine.

Yes. Still not working.

Are you using a VPN by any chance? or proxy? Any sort of tunnel that could be blocking/blacklisting i3d?

Thanks, I've updated the links.

That's the greatest LFS trailer I've seen so far, well done.

Additionally, if you want to use the skin online you'll need to upload the skin to lfs.net.

See https://www.lfs.net/account/skins

Have you tried using the download link directly from the test patch thread?

LFS doesn't have dedicated servers anymore.

You can still host servers by renting directly from LFS services.
https://www.lfs.net/hosting/create

There are the default cars (SHIFT+P > Cars), and then there are car mods (SHIFT+P > Mods). Make sure you display all cars, including tweak mods. Also make sure to display all mods and all classes.

That will be displaying all public mods for you.
Hope this helps.

Wouldn't it be easier to use some of the existing mods out there? There are many realistic one's out there.

If cars' engines are too powerful, you could enforce voluntary intake restriction with the help of InSim.

Quote from Scawen :

Do you not like this 'steerer' thing which is specially designed for that?

I'm sorry, no. Maybe if it was more in the center, it would work to see where the mouse was positioned at. But that would just make it more in the way of other things.

I've personally looked for ways to get rid of that thing

Quote from detail :

I think this happens when you drive with some InSim buttons shown, that force mouse cursor to be visible too.

Mouse cursor can be hidden with Shift+Z, but I don't know if it will hide with InSim buttons on.

I purposely drive with mouse cursor enabled. That way i can still steer the car in 3rd person.

Scawen,

Since you are working on smaller issues, that are not related to Vehicle Mods:
I'd like to just mention an issue I've had for so many years in LFS.

Some context first, I am a mouse driver. I steer left/right with the mouse, accelerate on LMB and brake on RMB. Whenever i do a u-turn and accelerate - the mouse cursor is top right of the screen, around where the map is. The issue here is if the cursor is on another player and i accelerate (left click), I'll be spectating someone else.

Perhaps you could make an improvement? I have a couple of suggestions:
- Make an option so players can choose whether or not to have the players on the map clickable.
- Players on the map are no longer clickable.
- Players on the map are only clickable below a certain speed.

I'm used to just pressing HOME button (move view back to myself), but I'm sure other mouse drivers have this issue as well.

Thanks!

Quote from Scawen :

Just for your info, that has always been the case, it's nothing new.
...
So it's pretty hard to change without some quite extensive changes which there is no chance I'll be getting into at this point. Anyway no-one complained about the 49.7 day limit for the last 20 years so I guess we're OK for now.

And to be clear, the server doesn't have to actually be restarted, it only has to be empty at some point within 49.7 days. ...

Thank you for clearing that up. If that always has been a thing for all that time I've been very lucky to not be experiencing it until now. I just assumed it had something to do with the recent updates (0.7A/B). Nothing to worry about then, and good luck with the future updates!

Quote from Scawen :

With my fix this problem should not arise, although I think that LFS will go wrong if it is in-game for more than 49.7 days (double the 24.8 days figure above). I don't know what will actually happen at that point.

Seems only cruise servers will be having this problem. They always have people online, and if they're asleep irl they'll be parked up in some carpark. Tbh, i don't think 50 days is enough since cruise servers don't restart unless they really have to. I'm sure this fix is more than enough, thanks!

Hello.

You can restrict the usage of modded cars as well as official lfs cars. It just doesn't show in the in-game admin menu ("options" in list of names).

These commands were added in the 0.7A update. What you are looking for is the /mods command.
https://www.lfs.net/patch-7a

Quote :

/allowmods=yes to allow mods on host
/cars=none to disallow all of the official cars
/cars+=xfg+xrg to add xfg and xrg to the allowed cars
/cars-=ufr+xfr to remove ufr and xfr from the allowed cars
/window X Y sets window client area width and height
/enforce - spectate anyone who is driving a disallowed car
/unapproved=yes to allow unapproved mods to be used on host
/mods=AAAAAA+BBBBBB sets a list of allowed mods (and allows mods)
/mods+=CCCCCC+DDDDDD adds to the list of allowed mods
/mods-=BBBBBB+CCCCCC removes mods from the list
/mods=ALL removes the list of mods and sets /allowmods=yes
/mods=NONE removes the list of mods and sets /allowmods=no
/mods and /cars commands can accept plus or comma as delimiter

Quote from Scawen :

Thanks, I'll see if I get the same issue.

At the moment I have access denied when I click the google link but I have requested access by clicking the link. I haven't used google drive before but I guess you have to give me access?

Oops my bad, fixed it now.

Quote from Scawen :

Thanks for the feedback ...

I really would like to hear from anyone who has seen this bug, I'd like to have an example replay with this problem so I can find out what causes this bug.

Alright, I've reached out to a few people for their broken replays. I've made a folder in my Google Disk, they'll be appearing there. I've put mine in there for now, that was the very long one.

I've been waiting for someone to make a futuristic looking mod for LFS. I'm looking forward to a release, good luck.

Hello.

Me and up to 5-6 other players that I've discussed this with are having issues playing MPR. I saved a 30 hour replay just now. When viewing the replay, all I'm seeing is a black screen. I am not able to use the timeline at the bottom, its like the entire MPR is just frozen.

I am happy to give you any logs, or files to figure out how this issue can be solved.
I'm using 0.7B.

That InSim library is out of date and over 12 years old ;_; There is your problem, just use insim.net.

There are 277 modded cars with H-Pattern gearbox.
VerbatimZ made a website using the LFS Mods API, allowing users to filter cars by geartype, drivetype, class, tweak etc.

Welcome aboard to not just S1, but S2 as well. I mean you might as well go S3 while you're at it
Happy racing!

v3.2:
- Fixed TC button not display properly.
- Updater now displays progressbar.
- Improved version formatting for Updater.
- Fixed minor UI bugs for Updater.

v3.3:
- Added laptimes.
- Added personal best.
- InSim now uses EntityFramework to CRUD to local database.
- Local database now stores PB.
- Local database now stores carnames and tracknames.

I think now that mods are out, it would be a good time to update the CarHelper class, more specifically the CarMap of cars. The GetFullCar method doesn't work for modded cars.
