Nice update !

However, it broken down the FXO gauges, and I had to delete all gauges (execept the custom ones I had) and launch LFSLazy again to fix them/update them.
And by the way, what it this weird background on the LX gauges ? Looks like JPG compression with multiple color edits made on paint. Can you send me the .psd so I fix it by myself ?

Thanks everyone for your support, I actually have friend of mine that have been shot, and I was even near theses place, 30 minutes before the event, so damn, this night was hot.

I really hope that countries will do their best to help us, and counter-attack on them, because in my opinion, innocent civils should never be attacked for religious or political opinions.

It's a nice idea, I like it! Thumbs up

People say that LFS has one of the most intuitive UI evar, but I don't think so.
I really hope LFS gets a UI overhaul one day, with full controller support and a design that fits more with this century. Big grin
No car in race screen, in single player

Hello,

Small unexpected behavior to report, when you press SHIFT+P+O at the same time, option menu displays and you are pited, which means that when you exit the option menu, your are on the "no car in race" screen, in single player.

Awesome ! Great work Lynce, as always I guess. Too bad you aren't in the LFS team, I'm sure Eric will like you. Smile

I agree on that, LFS is really not user friendly, if you want more people to come on this game, this should really be a priority.

Quote from cargame.nl :They are not very rare, not more expensive then other 'desktop replacements'

Send me some websites where you can get a 980M at the same price of an desktop 980 or less (the 980 is an example, and I know that the 980M is as powerful as an desktop 960 or 970), and where I can get from low to high end graphics card, on both manufacturer, and on the latest generation.


Quote from cargame.nl :The thing is, it's better to judge only the things which you fully have knowledge of Wink.

I had a laptop with MXM slot (2 years ago only) and I searched for theses cards so assuming that I don't have knowledge of it is a absurd.

Quote from cargame.nl :I have them with MXM and I prefer laptops.

MXM cars are expensive and very rare, there is no real upgrability because laptops with MXM slots are in general already equipped with high-end GPUs.

Quote from cargame.nl :This laptop, these specs, it should run LFS better not worse. Laptop or desktop in this case doesn't matter at all.

I agree on that.

I know, I played with my HD3000 for a while, but desktop are modular for your needs, and it can be upgraded. I prefer buying a 500$ desktop than a 900$ laptop, for sure.

Quote from Yisc[NL] :Your old card was AMD Radeon 7400M series and the new one is Intel 5500 series.
I never liked onboard GPU's anyway, but the AMD one was probably better then the curren Intel one.
My advice would be to buy a seperate graphics card from either AMD or NVidia and put that in your pc.
You don't need an highend model by any means, so it can't be too costly and could even be a card someone has already used (second hand).

It's a laptop, the processor is an U model, for ultrabooks and thin laptops, he just can't upgrade it. That's why desktop PCs are the best.

It's maybe a problem with Optimus, the game is trying to run with the IGP instead of the discrete graphics. What GPU you have ?

Okay, thanks for the info. I don't know well my stuff about old AMD cards, but my guess is that it don't like newer Windows or it's really too old for this (and don't forget that LFS was updated to DX9 and requires Shader Model 3.0 now). The GTX 550Ti should be more than fine though, LFS can run on a modern IGP after all ! Smile

It already on the roadmap, but only after S3, else the devs will never their money to live. I actually think that custom cars/tracks should be enabled only on S3, or at least for the multiplayer part.

FTFY. I don't get the point of staying with an old version of a program when the newer deliver more features and some performance improvements.

OP, can you give us some actual infos, like if you used an old hard drive with Windows installed, or if you installed all your drivers, if you tried scanning your PC with Windows Defender and Malware-bytes to see if you have malwares, etc.

I agree on this, it's actually impossible to find a race server without connecting to 30 servers before or going on server we already know (cargame.S2 for exemple).

Hey bro ! Can you do a simple pack with all setups ? It's not like every setup weights 100 Mo. Big grin

It would need a big recode of LFS (if you are meaning OpenGL for cross-platform compatibility) : input, graphics and sound engines should be ported to OpenGL and other cross-platforms libraries, and somes optimizations will not work anymore.

Better stick with DirectX for now, it's easier to upgrade from one version to another, but right now, it's REALLY not needed, just look how great Trackmania² is, and it a DirectX 9 game, so we have a big margin. Big grin

Hi. I'm on forums since 2007, but I play LFS since 2005, impressive how time files.

Is your graphics card compatible with DirectX 9 and Shader Model 2.0 ?

I already reported it in test patch before 0.6H, but it's not fixed apparently, hope Scawen will work on it for in the futures test patchs.

Quote from Lynce :Dear Nacim, How are you?

Just an experiment I was made some time ago. This will the line I follow from now. The idea will be more simple:

I will release my latest work as soon as posible (brake discs and brake calipers in this thread.

Cheers.

I'm fine, thanks ! And you ? Smile
I'm sorry I forgot to keep you updated about my previous post, I had work to do the other day, but I'm currently working on a quick test for a website. Wink
Nice to hear, I'm really waiting for it Smile

EDIT : You received a PM. Smile

Yes, every object will have a shadows, and they will be much more detailed (depending on shadow map resolution).
