There isnt one if u have unlocked LFS

yes there is.

Hi all. I haven't played lfs in over 3 days (:jawdrop and today i started up lfs as I normally did. First thing i did was go to multiplayer and go directly to ctra server 1 as usual. I started racing alone (=[) and all of a sudden black frames popped out of no where. At first I didnt mind and just acted like the driver was blinking, but it got really annoying and I cannot figure it out. I'm thinking maybe drivers, but I haven't changed anything in last 3/4 days.

Also, I cannot connect to master server for some reason.

I just downloaded a fresh install of LFS and the black frames still persist =/.

Please someone help!

You guys are talking about those Ageia cards, right?

Everyones complaining about how the game is being updated and lower spec computeres are suffering (except the new test patches) so why on earth would devs add something that only people with brand new video cards could use?

Quote from obsolum :

But that's just it. People shouldn't expect those things to go with LFS. To be honest, I even find that a bit arrogant. LFS indeed has great physics. And NFS indeed does not. So if you want great physics and great racing, you play LFS. If you want tuning and lots of bling bling, you play NFS. LFS will never - yes, never - have options to rice up your car. Ever. That's simply not what the devs have in mind for LFS. Accept that.

So yeah, when someone comes here and starts a thread suggesting that LFS should include features that allow people to tune their car for the zillionth time, the answer is usually along the lines of what you said. Seriously, what do you expect?

So now that you know that LFS will never have those things, you could try going onto the EA forums and start threads asking to implement a decent tyre model and a more realistic physics engine

Never say never.

Quote from gp4racer :

this happens "sometimes" when you are getting understeering in cornering, i mean, you take the turn and you need to release gas and keep hard the steering wheel, i dunno if this happening to you, but its a cause.

Its called a brake pedal

Quote from aroX123 :

Scawen, i have a question, have you tested all cars we have in lfs in real life?

:doh:

Middle gray circle does NOT show up on custom views hud.

Was your door recently broken? Window opened myteriously? Did you notice that your PC case was open when you came into the room?

Well then, someone has stolen your video card! muahaha.

Quote from jbirdaspec :

I have done a couple different things with my DFP and it's settings.

First Setup was the settings in the LFS manual.

Second was killing the Logitech profiler in task manager after it loads.. this was a great improvement.

Third was installing the Logitech Software, letting DFP install in windows and then removing the Logitech Software, reboot and let the drivers install automatically and using only windows to calibrate the axises and then calibrating the axises in LFS. This is really good too, but i can't change the range of motion (degrees of turn). For some reason, I am stuck around 720 degrees of monition. However, I am way faster in the XFG with 720 degrees and will keep this setting for tin top cars, but I will have to figure out a way to change the range of motion for open wheel cars once I am done racing tin tops.

Too me and several others that I drive with on a daily basis getting rid of the profiler makes the feedback better in LFS. It is smoother and more robust all around. It enabled me to feel the grip of the tires in a way not before possible and dynamically adjust according to the feedback I recieve from the wheel. I think the profiler fights with the feedback from LFS that is interfaced with windows.

This might be worth a try for anyone interested.

If anyone is interested in what he is explaining about the FFB, but don't want to go through the hassle of un-installing the profiler, the following usually works for me. Unplug wheel, start LFS, plug wheel in and let it calibrate. Do not shift C! Works for me at least. usually overrides the profiler

Quote from Zen321 :

Because the fact is that, whether you like it or not, cars in GT, GT2 competition are tuned road going cars (engine and/or handling depending on which GT class it is), not by manufacturers, but either by specialized preparetor, or by the team's own engineers.

XRG > XRT.

There is your tuned road class car.

Is it just me, or does LFS not support AA now or something? Pre- Y22 I was all excited with my new video card because I could put 8xs AA and everything was amazing. Now, the jaggies are back and are an eyesore.

Im going to reinstall 19 to see if it's just me.

Quote from richhobo94 :

Hey my brother is going to Hong Kong in a week and he asked me if I wanted any PS3 games... so I said GT5 Prologue and GTA IV... however, the game I want most is LFS S2! Is there a way he can buy it there? I'm asking because I saw that you could buy it on a disk in some countries...

If not, there is this guy who had 2 S2 licenses that he wanted to sell for 20 Euros each... would this work in Australia? He also said that it was unused from a while ago... would I be able to get updates if I buy that?

Sorry for the essay

Ask him to get a credit card in Hong Kong?

Quote from mickyc30 :

i never mentioned a full grid? you should read the post a bit more carefully mr.g

Edit: screenie of a full grid

psh, with full grid behind you and only 6 cars drawn in mirrors...

Go to south city, add all cars, and then place yourself last

Some of you really need a girlfriend

/me doesn't get why you said that.

Quote from yeager :

I wonder if there are people who drive from the external view behind the car, surely not. Or am I just over reacting and its not such a big deal to drive cleanly with just the one view and checking left and right and the mirrors.

Press F12 and hit tab a lot. It'll tell you the view. Suprisingly, about 2 people use chase view per race, averaged - in my findings.

Quote from samforey12345 :

If you read up top, full AF (16x) and AA(4x), using the options in LFS Y19, all the rest is full (best graphics.)

I meant to reply to "I have found the native resolution, it is: 1440x900, and it looks much crisper BUT, it looks horrible on lfs, any ideas how i can make it crisp and not all mal-formed in lfs?"

Quote from shashdev :

Oh, sorry. Yeah, the driver thing is saved. I mean that I have to go to spectator to get back to my side of the car. Maybe that should happen instantaneously? Also, having two folders would increase the amount of money I would spend. If one folder had a downloaded skin and the other did not, then I would spend extra money getting that skin.

Maybe they can both share all the same folders/ files except for the profile one, (for driver and settings)

Somehow.

Quote from the_angry_angel :

I didn't say it wasn't a good idea. I was trying to point something out if you weren't aware of this simple fact, as you failed to say if you were or not.

Look dude, I wasn't rude, I didn't say your idea was shit. I was offering friendly advice incase you weren't aware of something. If you think you're being hard done by I can change my tune so that you really are.

If you want to go and have a strop like a 4 year old, then please feel free. It's no skin off my nose. I just don't understand what the problem is.

I don't think he was offended by you. I don't think he was being sarcastic. I think he was just mad that his brother used his unlocks and felt like venting. He realised this isn't the greatest improvement suggestion as all he has to do is tell his brother to click DEMO on connection list.

Good luck

Quote from LKP2005 :

I would like to suggest that another custom view could be created.

I configured my custom view for each car, in order to have more speed sensation and don´t be so far from the wheel. But, I had tasted others configurations (to watch replays) and it´s seen very nice.

So, if we get at least two custom views, we could play with changing views, without have to modify the configuration each time.

Thanks.

How many custom views are there IRL?

Just kidding.

Even though I personally don't need more than 1, I could see how someone else would benefit from it.

Do both of them have same car running in common? I accidentally hit a car button on top and couldnt figure out why im not getting all. Then pressed ALL and bam!

Quote from 510N3D :

- nope but you can use them skins offline so at least youre able to have/ see a high res version of your skin (as far as i know how it works)

- well everyone does every now and then i guess

- cant agree more Oh and welcome to LFS S2 btw, enjoy!

Thats an interesting way of answering / organizing questions / replying.

welcome to s2.

MIP sliders... AA, AF?
