Update for 0.6F6 please - thank you ;-)

Works very well - South City track takes now only 1 - 2 seconds; instead of 20 or more.


Many thanks

I have tried with openSUSE 13.1 64 Bit and Wine 1.7.2.
The "outdated" GPU was an NVIDIA 8400 GS with SM4 support.
http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_8400_tech_specs.html

I have reduced the LOD and have disabled AA and also texture filtering.
I've got around ~23 fps in cockpit view of the last car (10.).

The GPU already supports SM4 but does not have enough power anyway to display a "simple" resolution of 1680x1050 without any image enhancement.

Btw. I have tried with nouveau and also proprietary driver of NVIDIA itself. The result with NVIDIA drivers was only around 10% better (2-3 fps).

With this GPU I don't think the result will be much better under Windows.

Software installation after core installation of Linux (KDE desktop):
- Installation of wine
- Installation of DirectX 9.0c
- Installation of LFS with the update to 0.6F2

I do not get any errors after LFS start. With a better GPU LFS work fine under linux.

Quote from DANIEL-CRO :

Not exactly sure what do you mean with link? Put a pure link instead of
DOWNLOAD LFSLazy?

I mean this comment of you:
https://www.lfsforum.net/showt ... php?p=1863294#post1863294

Only in this comment I found the version which not need the dll. I miss the link in the first post of this thread.

Thanks for the hint to the manual/help

The new installer (0.6F) ends with a screen with a link to create a new account. The german phrase is not complete and contains also a typo.

Current phrase is:
"Klicke hier, um einen LFS Account zu erstellen, falls cu noch"

"cu" = "du"

I think the complete phase should be like:
"Klicke hier, um einen LFS Account zu erstellen, falls du noch keinen hast."
or
"Klicke hier, um einen LFS Account zu erstellen, falls du noch keinen besitzt."

The link points to the english registration form. Perhaps the installer language could be used to redirect the user to the form in the same language?

Please implement a version number in your tool. It's hard to find out, which one is the newest. also if you publish new download links as a comment in this threat instead in the first one. thanks

The documentation (pdf) is outdated by the way.

The new version without dependence on the dll works fine. thanks

New kickstarter project AntVR - Sounds like LFS already supports the 3D view (HSBS).
https://www.kickstarter.com/pr ... ersal-virtual-reality-kit

Website: http://antvr.com/

Technical compare between Oculus Rift and AntVR:
http://www.gamesinasia.com/ant ... us-rift-hits-kickstarter/

Looks like the Kickstarter target ($200'000) will be reach soon (currently >$74'000).

FAQ from Kickstarter
[3D Experience] Does the ANTVR KIT support existing stereoscopic 3D?

YES, it supports the HSBS stereoscopic 3D mode. For PC, almost all 3D games can be played with stereoscopic 3D. Some have stereoscopic 3D options, which the headset can use directly. But for those that don't, you can use some software to convert to stereoscopic 3D, and it will work with the headset. On PS or Xbox, some games also have stereoscopic 3D options.


But I think the LFS native support for head tracking of AntVR is needed?

Next VR solution for LFS? :-)
http://www.trueplayergear.com/

But no hardware available currently. Hopefully a developement kit is planned too? But sounds more expensive with more features then Oculus Rift?

Workaround for wrong PBs: Clear your current PB with the command !clear (twice; second command confirm first one)

But I found an other bug:
Charset encoding for string clpb_2 is wrong (see screenshot -> red circle). The other strings clpb_1 and clpb_3 contain also "umlaute ä" but are correctly encoded in LFS.

LFSState forget my last PB.

Today I was racing a new track PB (2:27...). LFSState shows this time too. I only jump in the box and came back (same track, same car, without LFSState restart and without LFS restart), LFSState shows me now the old PB of 2:28... HLVC is disabled/off btw.

Is this a known issue?

Is it a limitation of LFS UI that it's impossible to move some tables e.g. "Standings" to the left or right screen in a multi-screen configuration?

By the way/feature request:
A own log directory will be usefull (for the UpdateWR logs).

Because of reconfiguring the categories the currently posted links to my download mirror does not work correctly:

Please use this links now
Mod Downloads Overview
2048px version
4096px version

Is this now the final version (0.2) for this track? (still great stuff)

Quote from W201man :

Was fun driving with you guyse

Freut mich... aber seither haben wir Dich leider nicht mehr bei uns "gesehen".

I try to use the scripting feature of LFS.

I wanna start lfsstate p.e. trough the autostart script. The program which I want to start is locate in a directory with a space in the directory name.

D:\lfs state\lfsstate.exe

Of course I have also tried to use " or ' to define the "string". But that does not work.If I rename the directory to lfsstate (without a space) then it works.

Will be nice if in a future version I can use also path names with spaces (with " or ' around the string). Currently the workaround is to rename the directory.

Workaround
/exec ..\lfsstate\lfsstate.exe
or
/exec d:\lfsstate\lfsstate.exe
instead of
/exec d:\lfs state\lfsstate.exe

Quote from W201man :

Bin in 5 Wochen 29 und damit knapp unter 30 aber ich spreche deutsch und schweizerisch kann ich auch so ein bisschen verstehen

Bin kein Alien aber konstant und fair

Melde Dich doch einfach über die Team-Website. Wir sind nicht auf das Alter fixiert - bei Trainingsrennen werden wir sehen, ob wir auf der gleichen Wellenlänge sind.

Es ist übrigens nicht ausschliesslich mein Entscheid, wer ins Team aufgenommen wird. Es muss für ALLE bestehende Mitglieder stimmen.

Freue mich auf Deine "offizielle" Anfrage...

Xd i cant make rar files. So if someone has a link for me please send.

Why do you need to make rar archives. WinRAR is not free? After the trial time of 30 days, you need to buy a license for legal use.

Use 7-Zip (http://7-zip.org/) or other free/open source archive tool.

Wow, cool stuff! Thank you

How the 3D support will be released? As a new update for the current LFS version (0.5E with 3D like the current test patch) or together with the "big update" of physics?

Make it sense to buy already the dev version for gaming or to wait for the consumer version (planned for Q3 2014)?

Wow! That was really fast! Many thanks for the fix, Victor - looks good now

I get server informations from our team server for the team website with this request:
http://www.lfsworld.net/hoststatus/?h=^1[SVRT]^7TeamServer&onlycontent

I receive following data stream:
...
Mode
S2, Race 191 laps

Track
Westhill International Rev

...

The server is currently configured for a 1 hour race. But the data contain my something about 191 laps! That's simply wrong.

Following page sends the right content (1h race):
http://www.lfsworld.net/pubsta ... host=%5BSVRT%5DTeamServer

Hopefully this could be fixed asap.

Quote from MadCatX :

The second value doesn't control when the red LEDs light up but when the LEDs start blinking. Logitech API is stupid simple and doesn't offer any more precise control of the LEDs so I can't really do anything about this. Fanatec wheels are much better in this respect. Since the LEDs are (hopefully) scaled linearly, you can use the attached spreadsheet to recalculate the "first" and "redline" values to make the LEDs behave the way you like. I have no way to check if the results are correct - let me know if they aren't

Thanks for your fast reply

My LEDs are never blinking. :-( Other settings do not change the behavior. But it's ok. One of my team member was asking about led support. Now I have a answer to him; I don't know, if he ever will use it.

However, thank you for your work

I've tried to reconfigure the rpm for FO8; but the leds lights (especially the red) lights too soon (at 8500rpm) instead at 9500.

My additional configure line for g27leds.cfg looks like:
rpm fo8 5800 9500

But I don't know, if the app use it (will be a useful Information in debug mode).

What I'm doing wrong?

Also a simple "connect" button will be nice. If I reconfigure G27 LEDs, LFS is still running. I don't wont restart LFS, because it's not neccessary. Perhaps this could be simple implemented, too?
