Ok, now you're more specific, tnx.

Well you can forget about doing this by simulating exaust fume explosions and forces that act in a turbine, but it can be very easily faked in the code. I'm not sure if this is something Scawen might be interested in, but it's an ok suggestion I guess.

I would very much like if you can elaborate what an "anti lag option for cars" actualy does. How is this magic supposed to work?

I do agree that it is a bit difficult to really fine-tune the color by manipulating RGB sliders and an integer input field would be useful.

For me, it is more difficult that the RGB range is 0-160 instead of full 8bit (0-255) and if you already have the RGB color, then one has to do some basic math to rescale it to the lower range.

Again, not a big issue at all, there are much more important things Scawen needs to focus on at the moment.

I see, that sounds most like a hardware problem if I had to guess with this tiny amount of information you give us. Is it so hard to answer all the questions from Mandula?

If this axis is on some joystick/gamepad/wheel that has a potentiometer (pot), it may be that the wires got damaged or even a pot got worn out or dirty and there is not good electrical contact. Open it and have a look if something seems fishy. Resolder all loose wires and spray some WD40 in the pot to clean it.

Maybe your axis is broken?

There is no way we can answer such a general question. Please provide all the details that Mandula mentioned.

So this thread is basicaly about begging for money without giving anything in return. Bravo.

Yes, I see, that is indeed a small issue. Although not ideal, but for now, the only thing left to do is to turn off displaying wheel rim in the car.

I still never said it here

You're welcome, I'm glad you were able to optimize lfs gfx settings for your PC. Note that you don't need more than 100fps. Lfs runs at 100Hz at the moment, so you even have some headroom to put some of the settings higher than what you have now.

You can start at [AA] Blackwood GTI server and drive XFG, you can ask anyone for car setup and some driving tips. Demo scene is quite popular, so you'll find many good quality populated servers to choose from.

I'm also getting CreateRenderTarget failed warnings on my low end laptop with integrated Intel HD4600 gpu. Most of the times it says mirror, some times environment and ocasionaly something about a wehicle. This appeared since patch U13 if I believe correctly. It is something to do with gpu feature that is not supported I guess, but it's not a big deal since the game runs normaly.

Bad packet error sounds like an invalid packet was sent most probably, so check your lapper code again. The other one packet from invalid UCID 20, try to figure out what has this ID and you may find more details about error.

Quote from RealistAdam :

Also, when it comes to storage space, I have 2 storage areas. Games and windows files are in a separate memory. So it's irrelevant.

How can you say something like that? Of course that it matters on other things than just this. It depends very much on which type of storage device lfs runs on and also the overall system stability and health. Not counting external drive devices, it's: pata HDD < sata HDD < sata3 HDD < sata3 SSD < NVme SSD. Not enough RAM or not well optimized system clogged with many startup apps, basicaly anything that consumes system resources in that particulair moment may be resposible for the freezes.

I yet have not noticed majority of issues you are mentioning, related with lfs freezing or crashes. It's not reasonable to assume that something is wrong with LFS if it only shows up very rarely and only on 1 or 2 PC's.

Quote from Flame CZE :

How would the developers earn money then?

Do you really think he actualy thought about anyone elses needs excepts for his own ones? Just another default teen.

Sqlyzy, you can use LFS editor to add parts to the car and paint it. Find a sponsor, then you'll get S3 for free.

My firmware is compatible with Arduino ProMicro as well. All you have to do is attach a pot to it and upload one HEX file and that's it, it's plug and play and ready to go.

Quote from paket42x :

Options - Misc - Maximum buffered frames 2

I find that I get most fps in all scenarios with this set to 1. The rest you mentioned is very good suggestion for setting for low end PC.

Hi, yes, have a look at my Arduino firmware.
https://github.com/ranenbg/Arduino-FFB-wheel

You can also try to find which view gives you most fps. The one where you only see tyres, or when you press F, the force view is also very fps friendly.

No need to shame him for his PC, it is what he has.

I'm sorry to tell you but this is as much fps as you can get. Try turning off antialiasing and using lower screen resolution like 1280×720.

I see, tnx for explanation. How much is a hard limit for LOD3 then?

You first wrote that LOD2 limit is 8192 and then in next sentence that it is 1000. You probably meant LOD3 limit is 1000?

I thought it was obvious - I was sarcastic about non-car machines

On the serious side, the subobject physics may lead to a many new features like improved car model physics, falling off parts, dynamic aero elements, mechanical failures and similair.

Rain and snow in LFS is years and years into the feature. It's not comming any time soon, since it has nothing to do with new lighting system and day/night cycle.

Realistic surprize could be the implementation of realistic bike physics. Or adding physics to a moving subobjects, enabling us to create working machines, like planes, caterpilar/crane wehicles.

Sometimes I like to think about what goes through Scawen's head when he reads our interpretation of his work present and future
