do you have any mods installed in lfs?

somtimes these can have corrupt files in them, i found hi-res mods and better track graphics will not work on a low end card as well as they do on the higher end cards, i have tested tem all from low end to high end, it happend with the FX5200 with the Hi-res mod, upgraded to a x1300 and didnt happen at all now im back to a 6600GT and not a prob, my specs on my 6600GT=Core freq 500mhz, mem freq 900mhz, aa 4x af 8x, lfs if at full settings, and i get 110 fps


idd suggest if your getting artifacts in other games then time for a new card upgrade now before it becomes a bother,

thanks racemania

ahh kk i get you now yeah i know what youwatn but wouldnt it just be as easy to hit spectate instead of piting and then spectating the rest of the race?

just i dont think it would make a differance if you pitted and then spectated or just spectated if you crashed

if you mean the car stays on track after you have crashed and cant drive it back to pits, like in real racing where if the car is off the racing line and out of danger area it stays there till end of the race, i think this would be great but only if the server allowed it.

Quote from BlakjeKaas :

If this would be implented, it would be cool if you can go to pits and spectate and stuff, but the car still stayed there.

you can

go to the pits and hit tab key makes you spectate other cars whiole your car is being fuled up/fixed.

idd rather tho to be able to pit in for fule and then be taken to the raceleader/ or 2nd place while ca is getting fixed/fuled up, and then taken back to your car when its finisherd.

ahh yeah it works from lfs if you know the buttons well enough to find them, on mine i have 1280x1024 32bit if i scroll down to the bottom i can see the 16bit one cause its above the one with the white color, if i click it everything goes back to norm, should i drop the size down to smaller screen size i noticed it happens more now i upgraded my screen, i have a 19" LG flatron i used to run a CRT 15" at 1024x768 and only had thins happen once i think.


ill give the smaller a go and see if it makes it better.

thanks for your help

hi, i keep getting this problem in the attached, tried a few things but nothing worked,

things ive tried:

udated vid card drivers
redowloaded LFS
tried differant card

thats all i can think to try, my system specs AMD athlon 64 3000+ 1.5gig ddr ram asus A8V ati 9550256mb and running xp

it seems to happen when on track an ill get a big drop in fps, i get arrouund 90 on a normal day, it will drop to about 1-9 fps then this happens, didnt know what else to do, has only hapend since running test patch V2 now im on V4 and still happening.

sorry if its been posted before i had a look arrond and searched but couldnt find anything.

thanks for your help if you can

easy fix to this start your own private server fill it with AI's and they wont reset from memory.

you can get them from here.

i currently am rebuilding 3 of them the f1 style.

the biggest problem is the devs would have to make the track, it dont just happen overnight it take so much time to get every little detail right, and what happens if you start making heaps of $$$ off the track some other big developer comes along and sues you?

i just think the tracks we have are great we could do with some more configs, but what we have atm is the best for the sim atm. and the devs do a great job.

you will need to forward ports
try
portforward.com

find your router / modem find and follow steps

theres 2 ports for lfs that need to be open.

well i found the game from GP4 forum somewhere, and they were all talking about LFS and Rfactor so i googled them both and ended up like LFS more that was back in december 2005 i think well ive never looked back since, this game just has some of the best phisics i have ever played on a pc well even better then my xbox games.

i dont use a wheel but i have tried just cant get the control of it with a wheel, so i use my xbox control seeing as the xbox is in the cubboard somwhere .

racemania

no problems just keep up the practice you will love s2 more cars more tracks lots more servers well i loved it its like a new world when you first go there, get it soon you will love it

save it where ever then open with lfs exe

ok well after watching your spr i can see a few things

your trying to go too fast to start with.
try drifting in 2nd or 3rd you need to be above mid rev range which is about 5000rpm.

the other is your not droping the gears fast enough through them back fast to get the rear of the car to loose traction.

you seem like your a grip racer dont get me wrong i was too now i cant stop drifting.

good luck some others here might be able to help out more.

Quote from Ondrejko :

does anybody know how to solve this problem?

i started dedicated server with insim port.
btw. lfs lapper works on my 2 drift servers.

you need to create the 2 pb text documents and the pause is new to me but it seems like you are loading more than 1 lfs lapper at a time.

anyway make sure you have tried creating the pb files first.

ok just sent them an email with some questions and what i wish to use live for speed for. thanks for your help.

Quote from Chaos :

if you are going to use the simulator for commercial use, then you have to get a commercial license... ask the devs directly on this via the contact form on the main website...

ok will do today thanks.

Quote from ajp71 :

LFS is the best option for modern big single seater simulation. You could also look at nK (small single seaters), it has potential just flawed by fps issues. If you really want real tracks then there's GP4 or rFactor and the (appaling) ISI Sauber (I hear the F1 2005 mod is a lot better).
If you want historic single seaters then GPL/rFactor (79 mod) are both excelent.

yeah ive tried alot of other games before i brought lfs and i have never turned back since i got lfs.

i just think that the phisics are way better than any other game out there.
thanks

Quote from (SaM) :

If you want to use a LAN network game, no other program and no internet connection is needed. Just a router, a computer and LFS. You do however need an internet connection to unlock LFS.

Just go to Multiplayer and choose Start New Game.There you can select local to make it a LAN game.
You might want to open the port specified in that screen (default is 63392).

After a race is finished, the results (winning rank, best lap etc.) will show up automatically. If you don't see it after the race, press CTRL + TAB.

You are allowed to race with someone else on a LAN, unlocking one account on 2 computers, but you have 4 in total, so buying 2 more licenses is allowed for using all 4 simultaneously.
But I suggest buying 3 more licenses anyway for the ease of it, and allowing online abilities for everyone.

ok thanks sam.
i think we will be looking at online races after a few months and when the interest picks up on the game.
then maybe ill load up a server and put them to the test against the good lfs drivers

i will ask the devs about it before i use it for comercial use and see if they are ok with it i know they proberly get asked lots of questions about stuff so i dont want to just go and ask them all this stuff with out the go ahead from the other partys involved with me and the stimulators.

i had a test with one machine yesterday and i find it better when you can see lfs in 100inchs of screen and big speakers to go with.


i thank you all verry much for your help and will let you all know how it runs and if i have any problems.

hi again, thanks for the replys guys verry helpfull..


a question been a while since ive run a server, just want to know can i set up a server with just lan players for the stimulators or do they have to be online for play with a server.

a bit more detail of what i am setting up.

i have 3 of them, each will have its own computer hence buying 3 more s2 accounts, each computer will be linked up to a main computer so i can control which machines are in use, each one will be conected to a router through ethernet, and then directed to my computer.

if i can set up a lan play on a server what programes should i use or have to get. also is there a way to publish out data after a race, like best lap times?

thanks for all your help now i just hope it all works out

thanks racemania..

edit: do i have to ask the devs for permission to use the game in the simulators or if i buy 3 more accounts is it permitted to be used. as the stimulators will never go online with the s2 accounts unless we can find somone else who would wish to have a race everynow and then.
if i have to ask devs i will i just want to support LFS as much as i can and keep them feed :P

thanks

*I hate that game. =þ

nice lol

i like that pic is that LFS on the screens?

Quote from (SaM) :

Definately! LFS is one of the best if not the best simulator out there and as I heard from alot of people, they work very well with these types of simulators.
Actually, Intel did the exact same with an F1 body equiped with pedals, a wheel, speakers and a projector. They did it on a whole lot of events.

Hyper Stimulator sounds very wrong though..

thanks SaM yeah i think nothing gets as close to lfs dose in the way of phisics.

yeah i thought stimulation was a bit wrong too but they called it that cause you can feel every little bump in the road, in some games, thats what ive been told anyway.

im going over to set one up on wednesday with my pc to see how they run with the differant games i have.

i have installed at the moment LFS GTR2 V8 supercars 3 (toca 3) N4Scarbon and mostwanted.

i have lots of other games too but i cant remember them all at the moment.

once i do a test run ill let you all know how it runs..

thanks for your quick replys

Hi guys just wondering i play lfs every day and love it have now for over a year,

anyway was just wanting to know if anyone knows if LFS works on one of these > http://www.hyperstimulator.com/corporate/corporate_f1.html

i have 3 of them and wish to set them up to take around to the races here in australia.

and the first simulation game i could think of that would be great is LFS.

i still have to get new steering wheels for them the pedels are still in the cars. i need to setup 3 new computers to run the games and programes for the stimulators.

i have 3 projectors to go with them which also need to be setup with them.

my main question is will lfs be any good with them.
and if not what games should i get?

if it is lfs i will buy 3 more accounts off the devs only cause i know they work hard on this game..

thanks racemania...

+1 for Jovadzic

yes thank you kissme for your support

now just to getting a few good racers on the team not that we dont have any

list of the good racers are on the DDGTR websites

ill be posting there best times too soon on the website.

to all who are looking at joining we do all training so if your a bit slower than some of us you are welcome to join we are doing training events once a week all are welcome to these events but most of the time they fill up quick. as me and m1tch are 2 of tyhe best style drifters on the team we can show others how we do it, we also like running the GTR cars, we like to have a run in all the cars on s2 we dont take demo drivers as all of us are s2 lisenced, but we are open to have ppl from demo joining as long as they get a s2 lisence within the 1 month trial. the reason behind the 1 month trial is to make sure we make the right decisions before we let ppl join the full team there are a few requirements for new members.

1 must be active on the servers and on the DDGTR forums
2 must compete in an event decided by m1tCh or racemania could be any event and any track or could be a timed event.
3 must be nice on track and on the forums DDGTR has a rep to keep up so we wont take ppl who like to abuse others all the time.
4 no wreckers if any members are wrecking and the team leaders are notififed with a replay then those involved will be kicked and notified on the wrecker barricade.

there are more rules on the DDGTR forum but these are the most important ones.
we are a serious team and always have somthing happining so look for us on s2 to see what we get up to.

cyas on track racemania

ps thanks XCNuse for your good reply

hi guys

im not really that good at this but ive tried and failed all i seem to get is all these words on screen when i load to a web page.
ive tried to read through the 285 posts here but its a bit hard and took like 3-4 days to do.

is there somthing that can help out like for a noob to this lol im a BIG noob when it comes to this kind of stuff. the big problem for me is that i cant seem to figure out what im doing wrong. what i want to do is have a part of my site say who is online in the team and what server there on ive seen many other teams with this. if im in the wrong place please tell me.

i just need to know what needs to be done to have these in my webspace.
i have dreamweaver 8 well the full macromeadia 8 which was given to me when i brought my computer long story thats better told at another time.

ive also seen the AAL site they have a place on the side that shows your Hot Laps and all the stuff that LFSW show you about your time online and fule stuff like this.

im just wondering is it hard for someone with little experiance to do this or is it more for the pros.

thanks for any help in advance.

if ive left anything out you need to know please tell me and ill post it.

thanks racemania
