STILL no skid marks!!!

More random stuff

Looks awesome. Where can I get that skin!?

got the program to work - had to uninstall .net framework 2.0.

Now I cant get it to work over the LAN. Outgauge has always worked no probs. Do I need to set the IP address in BOTH the .cfg and SLFST?

Quote from Ripley :

Did you install Silverlight ?

yep

Can't get this to install for some reason. I get 'error 1001 exception occured while intialising installation' half way through install.

xp and framework is up to date.

any ideas?

slow in, slow out.

It must be frustrating for the devs who after so much hard work come on this forum and see the rubbish posted by people who clearly don't 'get' LFS. I am sure the majority of the devoted LFS fans and anyone who appreciates sim racing welcomes the new additions to realism made in the new patch and I suppose this is all the devs should worry about. However, it seems that idiots who want 'the ultimate drifting simulator' or whatever seem to overshadow what should be a great time for LFS fans to celebrate.

btw LOL

From the thursday press conference... LOL!!!


Q: Lewis, a brand new circuit for you. Have you walked around it and principally have you tried it on the simulator?
Lewis HAMILTON: It's my first... I literally got here to the track an hour ago and I've not yet had the time to walk it, but I will do after this and no, I've not been on the simulator.
Q: Would the simulator help?
Hamilton: If it did I would have done it.
Q: So you don't really feel it's that much of a help.

Quote from LFSn00b :

That's LFS in BL1, with FO8, Patch U afaik

That vid looks like it was taken at the Sydney motorshow last year. I know because I got the fastest time of the show and won a bunch of Toyota F1 gear

It was BF1 on BL1.

Thanks guys but neither of those are particuarly useful suggestions
Is there anyway to unlock from behind a firewall? Otherewise its demo for me for the next 12 months

Quote from AndroidXP :

No.

But as Jakg suggested, find the line "Port 80 0" in your cfg.txt and change it to "Port 80 1".

I am also having trouble unlocking LFS from behind a firewall (i dont have admin rights)
Does the above technique work for patch W? I can't seem to find the line 'port 80' in the cfg.txt

any help unlocking LFS would be great! Thanks

edit: it appears from this thread that this technique won't work anyway. Any other ideas?

Quote from herki :

Some sounds appear to be "missing" here...
I using the latest patch (U28) and Dave's soundpack.
In edit-mode (w/o having LFS started) I can hear all sounds (turbo, etc), but when I start LFS they are all gone ... If it helps, I'm also experiencing the sonud-lag problem (which is solvable)

It doesn't work with U28

Quote from Blowtus :

I find CSR with the lx6 brilliant. I have the CSR volume set to 1 though, so the LFS sounds still figure, all mixes quite well imho... don't feel at all handicapped by it.

I think that is the important thing about CSR. If I turn up the csr volume I have the same problems as have been described above. When turn it down to 1 I can still hear the LFS engine and skids (the important stuff) plus the extra 'ear candy' like gear shifts and turbo spools.

To say it makes me faster would be a bit of a long shot - but it atleast it adds something to make the sound in LFS a bit more gutsy. If anything though I think this program has shown us just how good the LFS sounds are in their current state.

Quote from [RCG]Boosted :

and for those who havent GTR2 u could make a zip and upload the files

Here you go - Its not exactly realistic (unless the fxr has a 7.0L V8 ) but it sounds pretty nice!

unzip to the 'user files' folder

edit: turn up the mix volume to 20

For those that own GTR2 - Try the saleen sounds - still playing with the settings but it sounds awesome.

I don't know how you guys use so much ffb.
I set profiler to 50% and ingame ffb to about 10-15%. Any higher and it feels like there is just way too much resistance!

Also I use a dfp and with 720 degrees in profiler so the wheel is a 1:1 match with in game - thus wheel compensation has no effect on the steering for me.
