Quote from Fordman :

I got Rfactor free with my G27 wheel purchase and I have finally installed it, just to see what it is about.

I have downloaded the RealFeal plugin as recommended but I was wondering from anybody with experience, what is the mod's to have?

I did a little goggling, and I have got the V8 Aussie Mod ( very impressive ) and the FRR Clio Cup ( yet to test )

Mostly interested in closed wheel mods.

Cheers

Fordie

is all G27's come with free RF ? because i have since 4 month and when i receive it i never seen any free game in the bundle.

Quote from Kristi :

It was my second sim ever I think, when I was 4 or 5 years old. I'm installing it and I'll try to join when done.

@LFSRm, I don't think ToCA2 has any Formula Ford, that's Toca Race Driver 2, which is qutie different.

EDIT: Disregard that, I just remembered the special events with the Fiesta and Ford stuff.

isn't that a formula ford ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CXrEmriT9I

lol when i saw this video the graphics are very similar to lfs but with low textures .

Great!, that was my first sim ever, I played toca 2 at 6 years old and never forgot how the cars feel ( first time i played this game the cars spinning on every turn especially with formula ford because i wasn't used with sim ) and I had a lot of fun with it .
sad that i can't joint your server, I lost my copy long time ago.

if you can find a 650 ti boost or a 660 ( same perf ) go for it, i think you can find one for 60 easily.
also 7850 or 7870 it's good too.

go for 660, i have MSI 650TI boost OC who are theoretically the same perf as 660 and AC work just great.
if you can find a 7870 with the same price its also good!
you will see some serious fps drop with full grid AI because of your old cpu, but I read somewhere that multiplayer are GPU dependent.

Btw can't wait to test update today .

its just a matter of time, you will be in obligation to change your GFX one day, in this world you can't have the butter and the money from (selling) the butter like we said in french, and 3 screen with old pc is just rediculous for gaming you should have to buy first a decent GFX then invested on multi screen .

atm if you can't spend too much money, a used GFX are the best option for you with single screen ofc, or stay with LFS and waiting.

and about sim AC is the best you can find for their price, absolutely stunning game .

sorry for my english!

its good and better than nothing, but you should have a look at GTA enb mods they are way better than your bluryallLFS effect....

i think you need to put much more effort to make lfs more realistic if possible ( ambiant shadows, reflection, globale light... ), not to make lfs full of useless effect, if you have project about those things we are glad to follow your progress and why not help you a bit .

and after that we can talk about photorealism in lfs, but for now hell no.

Je prends note, mais petit truc : en anglais on dit physics

aye sorry for mistake good found.

Quote from nacim :

Hi everybody,


I know you are working on 3D, Occulus Rift and tires physics, but is that possible to create some graphics optimisations for exemple :
- simple light flare for sun ?
- speed effect for wheels (like this: http://www.gameblog.fr/images/ ... dForSpeed_Shift_Ed040.jpg ) ?
- a real-time reflections for cars ?
- a simple spot light effect for car lights ?
- Real time shadows ?

And more developped (Don't know if it's DX9 compatible) :
- texture normal maps for lighting ?
- SSAO ?


I think this will make the game more realistic, and beautiful, and this forum is full of graphic developpers that are ready to help you to do it, like I'm disposed to help you for textures.
I'm not a low-level graphic developper and I don't know DirectX stuff, so I don't know if it's possible to do this in DX9.

before you get trolled by somebody, scawen clearly indicate that some of graphics improvement are planed after tyres physiques update, like real time sun and shadows.

but for now devs are focused into tyres physique so we need to wait a bit .

avant que quelqu'un commence a trollé sur ton post, scawen a clairement indiqué qu'il ny'auras pas de maj pour les graphisme avant qu'il termine le physique des pneu, quelque amélioration a venir ont déjà était cité par le développeur comme le soleil en temps reel et aussi les ombre ambiant.

mais pour l'instant ils sont concentré sur le physique des pneu alors on doit attendre un peu avant de voir quelque chose de concret niveaux graphisme .

I hope we will get the tyres physiques update before summer .

Quote from Scawen :

You mean the shadows of the world objects? The ones that are all spiky and messy? I agree they are a problem but there's no quick solution for that. Really I want to get to the point where the sun can move in the sky and the shadows can move, as part of a changing weather system.

But this is after a tyre physics update. I'm trying to get realistic about the tyre physics update, to make a good solid version that works well and makes LFS cars feel great (because of the force combinations that are mathematically based) with good simulation of tyre load sensitivity but not worry too much about extreme detail as it will never exactly match reality.

yes I mean world object shadows, thx for responding, and wow your plan look very promising for this years, can't wait to see that in game!

Quote from Scawen :

I was seeing if I could get the a DX9 version out today and have been solving the little things. Only need to do the gathering of screen modes and there will not be any "bugs" left.

But I have to stop for the weekend now, so I'd say it could possibly be released on Monday evening, but while finishing the DX9 support I haven't looked at my lists yet to see if I could do any other quick updates. So I don't want to commit to a Monday release, though it may be a good idea to do that at get the DX9 tested. But if my lists of notes present a few good quick updates, maybe it would be better to spend a couple of days on those and get them tested too.

It looks exactly the same, not a pixel different, so don't be too excited! The good news will be if it just works properly on everyone's computer without any need for a DX8 to DX9 converter, etc...

so it need to rewrite a big part of codes to getting a visual difference, but any chance to getting small fix to render correctly world shadows ? ... because IMO this is the most thing that annoy me with lfs graphics.

thx anyways looking forward for DX test patch.

it's clearly not just about racism, I read lfs forum daily and IMO bose posted too many "make others stupid" especially with new players questions or whatever.

and too much member are reacting like him, is sad but this forum becoming more and more hostile.

sorry for my bad english.

Quote from MrSam :

The best solution might be to send an email [email protected]
I know he did some license even if it is no longer active in LFS.
But I suggest you write him an email before

Sam

if he dont respond to donation, i dont think they will if i send him email, anyway thx for advice .

c'est pas du tout professionnelle de ça part.

Quote from cargame.nl :

There is no way. If you pay, your money is basically gone. (Although you can file a complaint @Paypal I think).

EQ Worry is not interested in LFS anymore.

hum okay this is very problematic, and he didn't make full airio for free before they gone .
so how we can get full version for persons with new servers like me ???

Hi!

if i buy airio full from officiel website, I will receive my copy or there is no way to buy because developer are inactive?

hello.

i have juste à question about th8rs profiler, is there any way to assign for example 1st gear to à keyboard button or combinaison ( macro ) like we can make in logitech profiler ?

Quote from Rank Outsider :

The thread is about a test patch for 3d support. Please contribute. Otherwise, Don't!

yea you are right but..

have you contribute yet in this forum since your 10 years sign up ? no, so you are not able to judge others at this point.

Quote from skswat :

Hi,
Scirocco will become an historic car in real until it will be released in LFS S3.
Release atleast some new things, because it takes too long without any update.
I really appreciate your work and understand that you are just 3 guys, but announcing VW Scirocco from 2008 and now it's almost end of 2013 and still without VW... it's quite much.

he need to do 3d support before they becoming historic too.

if you can't waiting go see other sim to help you wait until a major update will be released, just like 95 % of simeracer here.

Quote from Yisc[NL] :

I'm mostly a silent reader in this part of the forum (well most of the forum to be honest) but now I feel that I have to say that I am speechless about your opinion towards modern IT technology, or to be more precise, software. Don't get me wrong Scawen, you are on my list of few people I really look up to when it comes to writing games and without any doubt, you have done (and still am doing) a superb job with LFS.

I also agree with you that Windows XP is a very good OS, which is still going strong (in fact the hospital I work for, is running XP on all their computers) while other so claimed better operating systems have been released. Having said that, XP is reaching the end of its life and while Vista wasn't a great OS, Windows 7 clearly is in my opinion.

Since most gamers are keen on new technology on both hard- and software sides, I very much doubt that many of the LFS users are still on Windows XP.
This doesn't mean that you have to abandon them right now, in fact the question isn't even on the table as you are currently working on 3D graphics and will then continue work on new tyre physics, but as time progresses and both hard- and software are getting better and better (although you can always argue about what is better and what isn't) the content LFS is delivering to people is on a sliding slope.
Sure, photorealistic graphics mean nothing when the game plays like crap, but in all honesty, LFS could do with some more graphical eye candy.

Well, just my 2 cents on this issue and to end on a positive note, I want to thank you for all that you did and are still doing for this great game.
It's a masterpiece and will only get better with every release you do, but please don't forget in which year we are living and don't close your eyes completely for all that is possible nowadays.

yea agree with you, it's time to take some month and give us a new and great LFS at the end of 2013.

he can make very interesent things with only DX9, just look what can do GT5/6 and forza 4 with only old dx.

but scawen please we must finish this awful story of long time waiting with tyres phycs and making better graphisme with DX9 in the near future if possible, and for sure here we goes for another 10 years of pure pleasure.

Quote from Scawen :

I did say that I thought XP was still the best, in my opinion so far with Windows 7.

I am shocked that you can't go full screen, using two monitors as a single surface. It is really awful to pay a lot of money for an operating system, to then find that it has maliciously disabled your hardware's capabilities. I simply can no longer race in LFS using a two monitor setup. And someone cannot, for example, use 3D mode (SBS, full) on a double screen setup, sent to twin projectors with polarising filters, unless they have XP.

Also, what happened when I tried to install a printer? On XP, I could download the driver and install it, job done. Now, no, you cannot do that, you must use Windows 7's automatic driver installation system. And what does it say? There is a problem, failed to install driver. Nothing I could do to solve that, but go to different programs and try to print from them, in which case I was told "there is a problem, would you like us to solve it?" and one by one these so called problems were solved, over about half an hour. Absolutely ridiculous time wasting pile of crap.

I think this is the good moment to make a test patch for DX9 with ofc 3D support .

agreed with you about windows XP, but you must going forward not only for you but for all community because majority of people have no enconter probleme with moderne windows and we stille waiting for serieuse modernization of lfs ( proper shadows, advanced shaders..... ) this is not a reason to stille working with old XP's technologie..

I hope you can understand my point of view.
