Something like a non-driving-aid server would be nice, but not really necessary. I always drive with the same setup as the car I'm driving, road car h-shifter and 720degrees, gtr sequential stick and 540 degrees. At first you'll be slower, but just give it time and you'll improve.
Right now with the fzr on as3 im less then a second away from the WR, so driving with less aids doesnt always have to be a disadvantage.

Well, ingame you change it with "shift H"

If you want to replace a horn, pick a horn in my rar, rename it to HORN5.wav, and place it in data/sound.

Quote from Sephir :Hey man nice program. Is it possible to make the same deal, but make the lights flash? Like in the D1 comps? You know how they flash really fast like strobe lights? that would be so kickass

Yeah, that's possible, but the problem is that you won't really see it in multiplayer mode (you'll only see yourself doing it, not others). My guess is that light status is not a high priority in the netcode, and that the flashing goes too quick.

Yesterday I made a prog that flashes all your lights and kept the horn on (check it out in my signature), so keeping only the headlights on was easy.

You enable it by pressing the left-alt, and you disable it by pressing the left shift (if you want to chat).

I hope you like it.

**only useful on city driving and cops & robbers servers if you're a cop **

I made an app that flashes your indicator lights and headlights and also keeps your horn on, so you don't have to keep your finger on a button if you're chasing somebody.

The difference between my app and that of others here is that mine has a on and off switch (which in my eyes is absolutely necessary).

I've also added 2 sirens for people who dont have a police horn.

Instructions are in the nfo which is in the rar.


known bugs:
1. Because I've chosen the alt key for enabling the whole shebang, you can't alt-tab anymore. Only work-around is using the RIGHT alt instead of the left.
2. The off button (Left shift) does not respond immediatly, this is because I used the sleep command.

it might be that you're overcompensating with your steering wheel, which also causes weight to shift to places where it shouldn't go.
Just pick a braking point, and a steering point, and keep the car stable (come of the brake softly, and come on to the throttle softly).

If that shit happens, just look for a different server. I also got tired of being bumped of the track in almost every race I joined (and i guess we're talking about the same server), except when I started on the first row.

After that I went to the stcc servers and had the fun of my life. Yes there are the usual dickheads offcourse, but a lot more people can handle a xrg or a uf1 better then a gtr.

So if you wanna save on asprines and heart medication, a change of scenery is the way to go

I use the red buttons on my g25 to look around, and the paddles for teamspeak push-to-talk(I hate people who use the sound trigger ).
On the shifter I have the pit limiter and the horn, and that are all the necessary buttons for me.

Great video, I love that show
But the onboard in the end was a little bit weird, never seen anyone drive like that.

Yeah, it improved a little bit, especially the increased degrees of steering improved my driving.

I tried to fix the cracking problem last night by installing new drivers for my soundblaster live, which only made my sound worse.
Then I read a post by cue-ball that his on board sound didnt have the problem, so I tried and it worked. Only prob with the onboard sound was that CSR started to produce sounds with a lot of cracking in it (and not lfs :really.
So i went back to my soundblaster live, deinstalled all the creative crap from add/remove software, and tada, no more cracking sounds in lfs.

I have no idea what really happened with my changes, but apperantly you can get rid of it.

My advice would be to remove all the sound crap, like utilities, drivers, or even revert to older drivers.

I usually put lfs.exe on abovenormal priority in the task manager which seems to reduce the stuttering, but it's not completely gone. It might be a placebo thing though, as I did not count the stutters and compared it

its good that lfs is on tv, but please use something other then crapidshare

You're right, I've started watching f1 since melbourne 96 non stop, never missed a single quali or race, until this year....
The people who drive f1 nowadays are just not interesting compared to the people who drove in the 90's. Same with the cars, they look crap if you compare it with a 97 car.

probably crappy windows is ****ing up, or anti virus kicking in, or maybe you should defrag your drive.

You can also press windows button + r, and then type in perfmon. That logs the performance of your system. After you had a slowdown, alt tab out and look at the graphs and let magical troubleshooting commence.

If that doesnt work, maybe you wanna swap your pc for my pc
