Quote from sermilan :

I already think it's a bad idea. I suppose it would be ok for those who have VR headsets, but for the rest of us who use buttons for head movement it's not a particularly good idea.

This. It's a nice idea but won't work in practice.

Thinking about it, now that LFS has 2 karting tracks, surely bringing a kart to LFS is on the radar so maybe racing without mirrors is something we might have to work with at some point, HMD or not. Interesting.

Quote from Eric :

The mirrors on the MRT don't exist on the real life version.

I didn't know that, fair enough.

The new mirrors took a while to get used to, especially the wing mirrors. Having visible bodywork and an accurate representation of what's actually next to you is a massive improvement. Properly useful mirrors at last!

The raised rear wings on the GTRs (and other model tweaks) are nice but I will miss the round mirrors on the MRT!

I would like to see the mirror adjustment values displayed somewhere in the adjustment menu:



Something like:

Vertical: +6.0°
Horizontal: -1.0°

@P3

The GT wings are now massive

The mirrors are now actually useful. Nice work

The vaguest messages are always the most intriguing and exciting!

I've opened up [TC] Racing. We're starting with some good ol' GT1 @ AS3.

Yeah, why not.

19:00 UTC+1 on [TC] Racing. Some random tracks, random cars, whatever people want until as late as people want. I'll take the password off around then when I get back from work.

Sorry for dropping out, my left foot was having a bad day...

Tonight anyone?

Oh ok, is it on a track or like a city type enviroment

Cruise servers in LFS use all of the maps LFS offers. They place objects on them to transform them into bi-directional roads with junctions and things. On most of them you earn money by driving around. When you have enough money you can buy a faster car.

Here's some more information for you on some popular S2/S3 cruise servers:

[TC] CityDriving: www.city-driving.co.uk
[RC] Reality Cruise: www.rcruise.net
[CLC] CityLifeCrew: www.citylifecrew.net

Yay for oldies!

We should have another one of those 'lurkers' nights again some time, like the ones Fordie hosted.

Briefing starting in 10 minutes. Qualifying starting in 18 minutes.

We'll be getting under way in 3 hours.

Quote from Gutholz :

Rules do not detail that, so question: With any car?
Say I have <1min23 with FXO but want to race with XRT, is that possible? thanks

So long as you have a good enough PB in one of the cars, I don't mind.

The event happens tonight at 19:00 UTC+1 and all competitors have been PMd the server details on the [TC] forum.

What a story and I'm sorry to hear it! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

No worries!

Define switched?

Do you mean inverted?: Pressing the pedal reduces braking/acceleration, releasing the pedal applies pressure to the brakes/accelerator.
Do you mean swapped?: Pressing the brake presses the accelerator and vice-versa.

If you mean inverted:

Try clicking the invert button in LFS > Options > Controls > Axes/FF next to the brake and accelerator.



If you mean swapped:

You need to assign the brake and accelerator to the correct axis. You can do this in LFS > Options > Controls > Axes/FF. Click the accelerator button on the left, then press the accelerator pedal. Click the axis that moved. Do the same for the brake pedal.
