Yes that is exactly the bug I had. Thanks, exiting with the in-game exit button fixed the issue for now.
LFS Closes after ~1min after trying Oculus

Hey, so my friend lent me an oculus quest to try out, I of course tried it out in LFS, that went smooth.

The issue is, now when I open LFS, it launches oculus Link software anyway, even when I set it to 2D mode and after 1 minute LFS just closes without an error msg, it doesn't matter if I'm in menu or on the track. Any ideas? Thanks

//edit: I don't have the oculus anymore, so it's not connected

This is an english forum, you obviously know how to use a translator, so post in english.

How do you even find these old threads?

Quote from Evolution_R :I have ~4000 hours in CS:GO. Valve is constantly taking measures against cheaters. Players still use every possible bug/feature/issue/tool for their advantage in competitive matches. Who is to blame? The game or the players who abuse it?

Thats quite different though

Might be the case. Anyway, if anybody has a problem with this, I suggest adjusting the steering centre reduction

I think this is the culprit. On the old patch I used .80 steering centre reduction (talking about mouse). In the new patch with 0.80 it feels just off, can't seem to predict the car (I'm guessing muscle memory). When I tried a couple of settings, 0.85 feels closer to the old, patch, I can drift easily. Theres definietly a difference.

The feeling for mouse drifting (and racing) definietly changed with the 900° steering , I suppose it's because the steering is non-linear with the mouse. I think it just takes time to adjust, but it's hard to forget 15year old muscle memory.

The thing is, this was supposed to be a drifter friendly update, but I think this will just force many users away.

I remember trying to persuade my team-mate to make a skin for the VWS back in 2008, I guess he's the one laughing now Big grin

What about the h-shift pattern in XRR then?
Nadeo4441

Tried it out. Tire sizes are good, although it shreds tires so easy that they're done in 1 lap. Nothing to be done about that though...

Only thing I hated that I had to shift with paddles while drifting, it's annoying at best. I would love h-shift pattern in RX mode.

Would it be possible to switch to H-shifter instead of a sequential gearbox? Its difficult to drift with paddles. Not a lot of people have dedicated sequential shifters with their wheels. It's just an idea, no need to get into it if it's complicated.

Quote from Pathseeker :Just one small suggestion, maybe there could be option that these steering changes would work just for drift, cruise servers and single player? But not hotlap mode or race servers?To not have strange race setups with 60degrees streering as its not really realistic racing wise.

I dont think it would give you any advantage at all, but a good suggestion

Well it's possible, but drift cars don't run such wide tires on the front anyway. Maybe adjustable tire width? But I guess that's too much to get into now.

The XRR runs 335 width on the front according to some info I found on the forums. For example, the highest allowed tire ON the REAR in Formula D competition IRL is 305 on the heaviest class. Nobody would drift with 335 on the front.

In my opinion, 45 is enough for street cars, 60 could be good for the higher powered cars.

Quote from Scawen :
- What is not clear to me is the law that applies when user-created content representing real cars is shared without charge and how this can affect the provider of the sharing platform (us).

Might wanna look at Asetto Corsa for that and how they handle it.

Of course copying models from other games without permission is not legal but it happens nevertheless. (Happens right now with LFS too) - Supporting this kind of a discussion while not allowing copied models on the forum is the right way to go IMO.

Not blaming anyone. Just after all those years, Eric could have done the interiors. Or is it some kind of a bet? Big grin

Quote from lucaf :On nice @neonmateo, forgot those pics. Doesn't look bad at all! But that is an XRT. I quickly went through all cars and following cars are really crying for at least *some* upgrade: UF1, RB4, FXO, LX4, LX6, UFR, FXR. Still I hope this doesn't sound like asking. Im just thinking what impression the future release will give, if those mentioned interiors remain as they are now.

The most shocking are the UF1/UFR interiors. How can a "finished" game have this as main content? An average 3D designer could throw that together in a day or two.

No. It would take a lot to port LFS's physics (car handling) to Unreal Engine. Yes, it has some built in physics, just not in any way close to LFS.

Quote from THE WIZARD DK :
you got a data folder etc , just like LFS. i also think LFS would be able to have more natural trees if used this engine. and the sky could be with moving clouds.

...

if one of you tech guys ever make something LFS with cry/unreal or skyrim engines.
i would be very much interested in knowing about it.


I mean I know you propably mean well, but this right here, from a programming standpoint, is complete garbage. You cannot judge a engine by folder names Big grin.

To port LFS to one of these engines would require years worth of work, especially for just one programmer.

It's mind boggling that this finished car is not in the game while the UF1 and UFR are and still don't have interiors.

No hate, just food for thought.

Anyway it was fun to try it out, kinda impossible to control it on a touchpad though Big grin

LFS is past it's golden age, we all have to agree on that. I don't think a single update will bring it back to life. Continuous consisent updates though...

Might wanna move that up in the schedule. LFS has amazing potential.

I think the monitor should be lower and as close as possible behind the wheel. I cannot imagine driving like that.

I don't even see an issue in modding, it's just frowned upon on this forum for whatever reason.
