I have the 4096px Revolution Pack and with 0.6F7+ patch, it just load directly, and my framerate isn't affected at all. I think that an option to choose texture quality in settings can be great for people with low-end computers
PS: I'm a maxed out graphisms lover, but I love LFS for physics, not the graphical engine

I just hope that Westhill textures will be at least 2048x2048px, and not 512px or 1024px.

Very nice tyres Lynce !

A single new thread with every pack in one could be really nice !

Quote from S.E.T.H :

we need better cockpits especially for closed wheel cars.

Why? Everyone cheats using force mode anyway...

I hate force mode, and I think that every car should at least have the quality of XR/XF for interiors and XR rims.

Another Point:
I was looking around for DK2 Demos and stuff like that and found something interesting.
"Leap Motion" for the Oculus Rift. It detects Hands and Fingers in the air as you can see in the Video (start @ 0:54 language german). Sure the range is not so much (see @ 3:12 in the Video) but maybe enough to put it at the Virtual / Real wheel and back. Maybe also a little bit to the left or right to use virtual buttons in the car.

Don't know how good it already is but maybe it is something for the future.
And sorry for my bad englisch.

Leap Motion in LFS can be great, but we need to wait to see if the CV1 will integrate a hand positionning system and/or a suffisant part of the LFS community have a Leap Motion (develop a new functionnality for two persons is a good way to brake the developpement of LFS).
But if both works great (Oculus Rift & Leap Motion), then it could be so cool that Scawen develop Leap Motion support for LFS.

I haven't tried it yet, but judging from the posted figures, this ... should be part of next version vanilla LFS.

Congrats Daniel-CRO

Quote from DarkKostas :

...make the full LFS installer already include the converted images so new users won't see this spam over and over...

You don't get to see this "over and over", but only the very first time you load a track.

The final version will not display the message.

Oups, I find I just founded the way to remove the health and safety warning of the Occulus Rift, even if I don't have one to test.

(( @Mod & Devs : Delete this message if you want, but don't worry, I'll not share (publicly) how to do it ))

Nice program !

Yep, works fine now

For me it happens with Internet Explorer 11. And it works perfectly on Chrome !

https://www.lfs.net/downloadlfs dosen't work !

Hey !

I've seen a bug in LFS Remote (the website) when I tried to spectate a race. It can't load the track and shows this message (see attachements).

Hey !

While discovering the new website, I founded the new cars and tracks section. It's really cool, and it can also show cars with your skin ! The problem is, that it don't create preview for our skins :

When I click the hatched square, it use my skin, and when I click on the blank one, it set the skin to the default one. See screenshot in attachements.

My glith on the website is on the first picture.

On the second picture, somes improvements that I have tried : No white shadow in text and square flat buttons.

Oh, and please, add a fuction to click on the LFS logo on the forum to return to the main forum page.

What browser are you using? We did not see that issue in our testing.

About the logo, presumably it will remain as it is, just a matter of getting used to clicl the top menu bar.

I'm using Internet Explorer 11 with my 17" 1280x1024px screen. The first image is not glitched, but when it changes, it create a glitch. I don't have this problem with Chrome.

Wow ! Nice new website and forum ! Quite unexpected !

The forum still needs somes improvements, but it has done many progress.

The website is cool, but I have some glitchs and things that I found not so beautiful.

Yeah, as you want. I don't like car/tracks mods on LFS, I think it ruins the game. But whatever, try to reinstall you LFS/LFS Tweak and launch both as administrator, it could help.

I just have a question, why don't you update your game ? It will be more stable, more functionnality, more optimised and have better graphical quality that Z28. And LFS tweak exists for 0.6F.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

No. LFS doesn't support vibration feedback anyways, so Still sepearate triggers is the only reason.

I know that LFS doesn't support vibration, but as my first post says, it could be an improvement to do, so XInput can be helpful.

I've just readed that XInput is the only way to use vibration on Xbox 360 gamepad (or any XInput devices).

Quote :

XInput devices (that is, the Xbox 360 controllers) will have vibration functionality only when using XInput APIs

Source: MSDN Microsoft

Now we have a real use for XInput, and a secondary effect is that we can separate the two trigger buttons.

Quote from Lucas McFly :

I confirm

I did a test by removing the folder "Shaders" and the game looked exactly the same as in buddy that has a problem.

So you have to copy all the files in the folders once LFS directory, not just the file lfs.exe!

Or use the extracter directly on LFS folder, and replace all files.

Quote from Scawen :

I think I can give a more informative answer now.

I was struggling with two possible ways to implement this Tree Edge Alpha (TEA) thing. It can't just be switched on for everything, as in my test, because it does cause sorting problems and too much loss of frame rate. There was the possibility of switching it on per object, which seemed simple but for technical reasons would require two extra passes in the draw. The other possibility was switching it on per texture, but this doesn't allow the possibility for a texture to have TEA switched on in one place and off in another. Finally I've come round to a better plan, which seems totally obvious, to do it per "material". Each material (just a few bytes) being a reference to a texture (many kb) and some relevant options. So the same texture can be used in different ways in different materials without taking up extra texture memory. It's actually an underused concept in LFS but is vital for future graphical improvements. To use it properly there's a little rearranging of code to do, so that will take a couple of days. Then some research into the existing tracks figuring out which surfaces need the TEA enabled. Some is obvious, e.g. tree objects! Some will need a bit more care.

It's all well worth while because it improves graphics for everyone. It's also relevant to the DK2 patch because pixels are so big in the Rift, jagged edges and aliasing show up worse than they do on monitors.

I can see that you are motivated to refresh LFS code, cool news !
Even if I think that the graphical engine needs a complete re-code, for the moment it's not the #1 priority, so good news Scawen, continue like that !

I really want that the communauty helps you to develop a fully new graphical engine, because we can see that sometimes you are overloaded with all these community request. Maybe one new member in developpement team (or simply by working with your community) can help you

Windows 8.1 gives better results in theory.

Well I see, and what about a more smoothed direction curb ? It could be infinity better that this one, where when we turn full left or right, the direction goes immediatly on left or right (even with analog smoothing, it just slows the effect :facepalm

Quote from Scawen :

Many days.


That is the same place as I already described the issue on Blackwood. So you can already see the solution.

Okay. I know it was the same place, that's why I've been here, so waiting for next update

Opening the source of CSR can be cool, so community can develop again this wonderful program, and why not be integrated in LFS by the future
