Quote from The Very End :

But then we could have the discussion - should the devs care about that? Even if some people does not understand that everything does not goes allong the plan, should the devs focus on that critism and let the whole community out in dark?

IMO a better way would be to share what they got in pictures and what not, and if things does not go according to plan - ignore the whiners and have meaninfull discussions and talk with the PROPPER community.

Nice to hear that small independent studios still adventure into this business. Wish you best of luck

Nice first post .

As you are using driver close-ups, give THIS a try.

Wuuuut ?! Sooner ? :checkered

Even though it's after mid-night I felt an urge to fire up LFS for a few laps . The rally scenes look extremly good.
Can't wait for the release. Great job Lynce

Thanks for bringing these out Daniel, didn't know about them. I was actually impressed about the open comunication happening at that time.. Scawen would share even such a personal event with the comunity. Very nice. That tells a lot about the level of involvment in all that LFS means or at least meant.

Now THIS is great news. Awesome work Lynce.
Look at it not only as a present for the comunity but also as a training campaign for your skills and why not motivation. I'm sure even yourself have learned a few thins going along.

Looking forward to the teaser movie and of course the released pack.

Definetly. But I don't know exactly how, never really needed it. LFS is basically all I use long enough to care.
I am sure I have read the solution on SoftTH homepage (also there is a readme.txt, in the original folder where you have downloaded softth).

In any case, if you study it and you manage to do it, it would be nice to give something back (aka write here) . Good luck.

You're welcome. I have intended to make a thread about it (since all 15+ others on the subject don't give you the solution), but I guess this will do.
Have fun.

What version of softTH are you running ?

Note that for LFS, either you run with a DX8 version of SoftTH (1.08, I think), either you run with DX9 version and use the ENB convertor (to trick the exchange DX9<>DX8).

Just to make it simple, I have attached the 3 files you need. Just drop them into LFS folder, and the moment you launch your game it should ask you about creating the config file (delete any previous one, if the case).

For rFactor, use only the D2D9.dll

IMPORTANT NOTE: in my case it didn't work until I didn't set AA to Off in driver CPanel (nVidia 8800GT x 2; and also tested on nVidia GTX670 + 8800GT).

Greetings Omar,

rFactor runs perfect with 2 screens, using SoftTH.
Just make sure to get the last version of SoftTH (2.08, I think), as it is using DX9. Then, when configuring rFactor settings select DX9 version, and select the correct resolution.

Also, if you still need help with LFS, let me know.

Cheers,
Luchian

MAIN CONCEPT:
ACCAkut said it best: sim's biggest plus is simplicity, in the good sense of the term. So it should be the main focus of design. This is where Troy's idea fits, in my book: "metro" looking style. It may not be very original (and yet, that will depend of the imagination of the actual designer(s)) but it will do the job flawlessly.
If, by all means, will have to have an original approach, then (concept wise, not looking wise) it should be thought not as a site, but as a hub, the central point where you come, and have access to all the sub-domains, within a few clicks, without the need of typing anything else. How exactly.. well that's in the next stage(s)

FORUM:
Functionality: a MUST, in my opinion, is the Like button, with the name appearing under the post. It's not about being FB-ish, but it would allow to avoid lots and lots of spam-posts like: Cool, Nice, Awesome... and still give to the poster the feedback regarding his writings.
Looks: well, would go for something 2.0 like.. even though the forum today does the job, it looks outdated, in my eyes (not talking about the engine).

Offtopic-ish:
Stating this Project inside the Project might've hit at least 3 birds with 1 stone, and personally I enjoy it.

Whiskey, Lynce, thank you. /offtopic

I would also like to know, if possible. Thank you and sorry for the offtopic. Trees are incredibily good looking.

I like & support the idea. And I think you'll be surprised of how many people will want to get involved.

Those trees look awsome. Speaking of it, especially on the rally x areas, the difference between the original and the RP textures, is just astonishing.
Very good progress.

Cool

Quite a "rendering studio" you got there.

Lynce, you are a maniac ! It's such a treat to watch this project going along.
Good pace, Great stuff

Well, unless someone comes with a solution, I guess I'll have to live with it.

Thanks MadCat.

Anyone know exactly what/where whould need to be modified, to avoid this error ? I mean, is there a specific line/tag that need to be modified/added somewhere ?

I am using 3 screen setup, with SoftTH 2.08 and a "convertor" of DX9 in DX8, so if I remove the file "enbconvertor.ini" (which only point to the modified d3d9.dll library), I am able to take screenshots again, but SoftTH doesn't work anymore. . Hope my short explanation makes sense.

Thanks.

PS: I am NOT using enbseries ("Grid effect").
PPS: This is how my lfs folder looks like

I fear that once this pack is finished, I will be spending more time taking screenshots and making movies, than racing . Great work
