Quote from Plastik8 :

[...]Then have 1 colour for people in front, 1 for yourself, 1 for people behind, and 1 for people who are 1 or more laps behind you[...]

I would love to see the people who are laps behind me in a different color in the minimap.
It would be a great help I think.

In addition I want to see the place of a driver in front/behind/above his name (name above car). Maybe the information that the car is overlapped too.


For me it's not necessary to number (1st, 2nd, 3rd,...) the edges in the map. I only need to know who is in front of me, who is behind me and who is overlapped. Maybe the leader could be extra marked by a dot inside the edge or extra colored.


In addition it would be nice to know how far (in seconds) the (two) guys in front or behind me are away from me. I wanna know if I am comming closer to the racer in front of me or I am loosing time.


ok, this is my opinion.

Hi everybody,

i have a little update for my castrol-skin as a long time ago requested. I haven't had much time for lfs so much time past since I posted my first version here.

Quote from al heeley :

Very nice, but the thing that jumped out at me was the shell logo. Shell on a castrol car? Does not seem right. Nice skin anyway, but get rid of the Shell logo please!

OK. Hope you like the new version too (without the "shell-logo" of course)

Some feedback is welcome!

the "old" version can you find here:

hi,

what "look function" do you use?

It has to be "axis".

"steer" would cause view rotating with the weel rotation.

look at attached picture.

works fine here.

Hi everyone,

I installed the U13 patch (before I had the U11, no U12).

Now, when I start lfs (with quick start) and go to singleplayer the track selection menu appears. In U11 I chose there the track, then the config.

But now with these numbers behind the tracknames (number stands for config, but no reverse config) I was very confused, I thought this was a bug :reallydidnt tested U12).

my question: Is this the way it should be / it's wanted to be?

This number thing is a little bit strange to me. And for a beginner this would be a quite confusing way to select a track-config (for me too, cause I dont know the right number for each config).
I hope this will be changed.

Is there an option to switch between U11 style and U13 style? I didn't find one.

regards

Hi,

I made some suggestions for the shift+u camera in following thread:

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=160099#post160099

Quote from Gabkicks :

i don't know if this has been suggested already...

Realistic stationary car cameras that arent affected by your gforce shiftd movement settings in options/view...

basicly just realistic incar cams when watching replays... i know we can customize cams. but I like gforce headmovement when racing... and i want it off when watching replays.

Yeah. Maybe you should be able to config the forces for every view (cockpit, custom) seperately.
Its not nice to change them every time when making a movie. Espeacially when you have to end the mpr-replay to change the custom view or the forces.

Hi,

like the title says, I want an option that focuses the camera in shift+u mode on the selected car.
In this way it is easier to change the camera angle while focusing on the car without having this mouse-movement effect. Do you know what I mean?
With the up/down/left/right keys you would still be able to watch the car at different angles and distances but still focused.
(is there a key for tilting (moving up/down) the camera? )


An auto-rotation mode like in superbike 2000/2001 would also be nice.
So the camera constantly rotates around the selected car. Maybe with adjustable speed.


An additional improvement would be to being able to select a second car. So the camera automatically keeps the 2 selected cars in focus. So you are able to see your car and your chaser behind you without having trouble with the mouse. With the tap-key (or another) you should be able to change the second selected car.


Still, the shift+u camera view direction is relative to the track. So when you don't change the camera position the camera watches i.e. to north all the time. So when the car turns you see i.e. the back instead of the front. So you have to correct the camera angle with the mouse, what is not very good to handle when you want a smooth movement (when making movies).
It would be nice to have an option that enables that the camera is relative to the car. So it would be like the standard chasing view. But you can still move the camera (i.e. from behind view moving to position at driverdoor and then looking trough the window and watching the driver). In this way you are able to move the camera while the car drives a corner without correcting the camera angle with the mouse.
Also see this thread: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=158739#post158739


It would also be nice to rework the shift-U camera movement borders. Esspacially at Southcity. Every time the car/camera comes close to the wall the camera doesn't go futher. It would be nice when this would be handled like the pit walls. So the camera "jumps" over the wall.


I think all this would help a lot making movies easier and makes watching replays more relaxed.


Hope you understood all my suggestions because my english is not perfect .

hi,

maybe such a keyframe could be saved at every lap/ or every sector?!
Don't know. But it would be very helpful to jump through the replay lap-wise.

I mean like in "Nascar Series 2003" where you can click on a button and then the replay jumps a lap forward (or backward).

Hi Scawen,

1- I just want to ask why it isn't possible in mutiplayer-replays to press "esc" and then coming to the options-menue like in singleplayer-replays?
I ask because sometimes I want to change the custom-cam or other options (i.e. for making movies). But when I press "esc" in multiplayer-replay the replay ends and returns to main-screen. It would be nice to handle that like in singleplayer-replays.


2- In addition: I know that this have been often discussed, but can you add a function in replays to jump lap-wise? I mean like in "Nascar Series 2003" where you can click on a button and then the replay jumps a lap forward (or backward). Maybe it would be possible to jump sector-wise .
I know you mentioned before that there is a problem with the AI (because its dynamic) or something similar. But maybe this could be made for multiplayer-replay only?

3a- For making movies it would also be nice when you are in shift+U mode to have a option that focuses the cam to the selected car. Than it would be much easier to film the car without this mouse-movement-effect. An additional automatic mode that moves the cam around the car continuously would be nice too (like in superbike 2000/2001).

3b- Maby an additonal option would be nice that focuses on the aktual car AND on a second selected car that i.e. is behind/or in front of the aktual car.

(sorry for my **** english :shy


Nice to see that there is something going on with lfs


Note: I don't have the black-screen problem (lfs fullscreen --> multiplayerbrowser windowed --> lfs fullscreen)


[EDIT:] I also would like to see being able to adjust the forces (head tilt, lateral shift, forward shift, vertical shift) and the "look function" for the custom view seperately (maby for each car seperately too).
When adujusting views for movies I have to adjust the forces to zero for a outside cam. And for cockpitview I have to change them back to the normal values.
Espacially in combination with the "esc" issue (see point 1) this is until jet not perfect handelt.

hi,

first, I didn't read all the post, sorry.

I think while racing online it's not necessary to have 1024-skins, because you are focused on racing.

But sometimes you watch replays or even make movies. For this case it would be nice to have an option to download 1024-skins or 2048-skins before starting the replay.

Like: "Do you wish to download hires-skins?" --> "yes" or "no"

Similar to the option to download the skin from lfs-world when a skin is missing in the replay.


A download of the 1024-skins while you are in the pit or viewing the race would maybe a solution to download while being online.

hello racers,

now I will post my BF1 skin (my private and a public version included in the zip-file)

simply extract the zip into the ...LFS/data/skins folder (or in addition the private version into the skins_x folder)

both are in 2048x2048 pixel.

hope you like it

[EDIT:] I updated this skin.

Quote from deggis :

Those are awesome but I think the best incar vid is still the M3 GTR qualification lap couple of years ago. Probably everyone is seen that video already. The sense of speed is just so terrifying (because the incar cam swings all the time ):
http://video.google.com/videop ... 5836618&q=nurburgring

hell yeah, this sound and speed of the M3 GTR is the best I have seen so far. It simply rocks.

Has anyone a high qualitiy version of it?

Hi,

the Nordschleife (or also called "green hell") is the most exciting track ever.

For those who don't know the track and for those who love the track I post here 2 URLs of two video files (.wmv) which show

1. one full lap catched by an inboard cam in a "V8Star Jaguar" 49MB
(nice V8 engine- and clutch/gear sounds)

2. one full lap catched by an inboard cam in a "Porsche 996 GT3" 62MB
(much traffic and many overtakings of slow cars)

both have very good quality and a good camera position too.

so, now its 2:00am here in Germany.
I think I go to bed. But I have to say I expected more than only waiting hour for hour for a new update (or patch release) that doesn't come today

So that we (or you all) have at least one present today I give you a link to a download site of an inboard video at the NORDSCHLEIFE (= Nürburgring).
Car is a V8 Star. Great Vid.

Download Mirror of that vid (under "jetzt downloaden" ):

So I wish you some fun. And good night.

Hi guys,

Well, I drove the MOMO Racing wheel too.

After 3 months the pedal problem appeared


The Logitech-support answered my e-mail:

......bla bla bla bla....................bla bla......
....................
You find the Logitech MOMO Racing Pedals Update here : http://www.wingmanteam.com/latest_software/beta_main.htm .

If this doesn't help download the following file: http://www.wingmanteam.com/files/Tools/DXTweak2/DXTweak2.exe .

First link worked well for me

BUT belief it or not.
The day appeared. S2 alpha was out.

First lap at Kyoto National with FOX....and arrrrrgh
The pedals freaked out from one moment to the other. illepall
Besides me too :icon23:


So nothing else helped since then.
But I got my money back because the wheel was just nearly 1 year old.


So I expect the DFP this week.


I hope I can help some of you.
