Quote from son-of-satan :

This is ridicoulus, i really thought the LFS forums were more mature than this

Er, what!?! Welcome to the LFS forums, obviously you're new here!
Honestly the LFS forums are one of the most immature I've seen. Shame too really, LFS deserves better.

Quote from Takumi_lfs :

Nah, most of them already knows me.

I don't know you so this is my 1st impression of you, and you're coming off as a bit of a jerk.

Maybe I am too for pointing that out?

Quote from G!NhO :

also its stupid to say "Hi/Bye" and "sorry/no problem"...

ummm, care to explain your opinion?

Quote from Takumi_lfs :

Don't be such a puss. Like you never swear/spam

Are you seriously implying it takes courage to swear? Do you understand "context"?

Wait, you WANT to see Ontarians?

Quote from Cherry :

press "1" to close(and delete) this thread, because we don't need to waste cyberspace for posts "i want scirocco now!" (vote 1/10)

I see you didn't read the thread, it's become a "catch all" for those of us who are disappointed with the progress, not just the VWS.

Quote from gruggy :

yeah i had a look at the lfs g25 setup page on wiki but it all seems to be pretty well good on the lfs ingame setup it has to be the logitech profiler thing i dont really know how to make a profile (if you need to to get it to work?) maybe setup wheel in logitech profile ?

Open Logitech profiler, locate the top menu, click Options> Global Device Settings, then uncheck report combined pedals. It may have been unchecked already.

Then run LFS, go to Options>Controllers and make sure a similar option is set (I forget the exact wording).

Well, most of us would be looking at the GT3 wheel anyways.

Don't forget the bodnar box for the G25, I got both the nixim and the bodnar mods on the way.

Don't forget to subscribe to their show on youtube!


Around $289 for the GT3 with clubsport pedals if I remember correctly. Though I don't think they are reviewing the GT3 wheel in this episode. There are a lot of different wheels and options.

I can see how that would be tough, but believe me, others have survived worse without ever feeling the need to act out or take out the anger on others. Believe me, MUCH worse than that. But like I say, pain is relative and some people can stand more than others. I do not mean to belittle your pain.

Quote from rockclan :

You would have also forgot about stuff like that if you would have gone trough the shit I had in my life

Rock, 3 things; 1 - Pain is relative. 2 - It's a big world out there. You have no idea what some people have lived through. 3 - If you use your past as an excuse for your behaviour you will never move past it (IE never change).

That said good job on admitting you made a mistake and facing the flack.

I bet this is the problem;
Set clutch to "Axis" in Options>Controls.

If not;

1st Check that the clutch pedal works in the Logitech Profiler.

2nd Check that the clutch axis is responding in LFS (Options>Controls>Axes/FF) If it does, ensure it's bound properly.

Quote from oldnavy :

My G25 calibrated only when i have reinstaled my LFS.And for few my friend only reinstal helped

CSU1 is right, you don't "install" LFS, so uninstalling and reinstalling will do the exact same thing as clearing your .cfg files, only it takes longer to do.

That's just because you are too leet for cables. It's pretty obvious that the OP is very non-leet though, so I doubt that would work for him.

Check if your pedals work in the logitech profiler 1st, then report back.

And sgt-KiLL, are you TRYING to turn people away from LFS with leet douchbaggery?

Quote from rockclan :

Also just




Not everybody has had a B.D.E, ...
Go find out for yourself what that is, in english A.D.E. or N.D.E.
All I can say you are going to think about the bad things you've done in your life...

I may have killed a hooker or two every once in a while, but I've NEVER cheated in any online video game. I sleep well at night.

Also what does ADE (African Dance Ensemble) have to do with anything?
ADE = http://www.afridance.com/

Seriously though, I really don't like hackers and I think you'll find most people don't either. Glad to hear you've learned your lesson but don't expect pity, you gotta EARN your forgiveness.

Well I have one good thing about the glacier-like development speed of LFS.

It prompted me to finally give in to iracings insane pricing and give it a try. I must say, the physics in iracing are damn good, maybe a touch better than LFS in some areas. And the tracks, oh my god the tracks... :jawdrop:. I've now raced on 3 tracks that I'm very familiar with in real life and I'd bet money that once the next season starts I'll be a few tenths faster.

Now I'm not saying I'm giving up in LFS now, I probably will get S3 if it comes out but in the mean time iracing will be taking up the majority of my sim time.

LFS finally has some decent competition (except for the still insane pricing) which is good for us simmers, maybe some competition will motivate LFS to evolve.

TBO the intel chips overclock nicer on average than the AMD ones, but for gaming either one is fine. The rest of your system seems good enough as well, no major issues so far...

The PSU on the other hand, is one of the most critical components in your system. One thing, wattage is not the most important factor in a PSU. What IS important is amperage on your 12v rail(s). Your desired video card takes around 25-30 amps so as long as your desired PCS can handle that you should be golden.

Quote from bbman :

Who said those comments were aimed at you personally? Feeling guilty?

Sigh, I give up...

Not you, I was refering to the "noob" and "6 y/o with ADD" comments. Is it hard to imagine that a somewhat smart, normalish, mildly imature older guy could get bored with LFS?

Are you serious they won't see this thread? I'm not upset about the late car, it was just the straw that broke the camels back if you catch my drift.

Why so many insults for expressing my opinion? And 6 posts since 2003 hardly makes me a forum troller.

I AM glad you are all so content with LFS, I really am, all I'm saying is that MY OPINION is that I'm not satisfied. I'm not going to get emotional about it though, either LFS adds new content or I play less often, either way I'm sure it's not something to get upset over guys. All I wanted to do was express how I feel somewhere the developers might see.

Quote from ColeusRattus :

That's just a distorted view you have there, McDee.

Back in 03, LfS was quite simple. So new features were easy to add, quick to test and art, due to the low polycount was quickly done.
Over the years though, LfS grew very complex. New features, even if they are minor, interact with the existing code, thus it needs more time implementing, testing and fixing things. Additionally, graphics took a big step forward, which also take much longer to produce to the desired level of detail.

So it is really a no-brainer that the "added stuff per month" ratio sinks. That doesn't mean that the developement became slower. For all we know, Scawen could hack in more lines of code per hour than ever before.

I can see your point, but it still does not change the fact that LFS needs to worry about keeping its current playerbase, let alone expanding on it. The only way I can see it doing this is by finding a way to speed development up (more developers maybe?) to keep things interesting. As good as LFS is it can't rest on its laurels anymore. Sure the diehards may never grow bored but LFS needs more than just diehards to keep afloat.

Quote from mclarenmatt :

All the noob's whining on the forum's saying "give me the patch nowzzzzzzzzz!!!" doesn't help im sure. Maybe Scawen just want's this patch to be perfect, especially as the Scirocco is in it

I personally belive they wouldn't give up until S2 went final anyway, if they were to give up it would probably mean S3 would never see the light of day.

Either way im going through an LFS bored patch, been playing netKar Pro alot lately getting ready for the GPC 2009 season.

Im sure i will fire up LFS when the patch do's come out though, although it might be a while until i start playing it reguarly again

I don't post often, but I wouldn't say I'm a noob.

All I'm saying is that it really feels like they have slowed in the progress since 2003, and it's going to take a lot more than a patch with 1 new car to keep me interested.

That said it's a shame really, since LFS had the best netcode of any online racer I've played. I'd love to see it revived again.
