Do you need to round the number to the nearest integer, or you just do not want to display any digits after a decimal point, when showing it on screen?
I'm guessing there is a way to cast float into an integer, or to use some stardard string formating procedure to create a substring which has no digits after a decimal point.

I have a G29 and I quite like it. Never had a single problem with it software or hardware. The only slight anoying thing about it, there is a small axial play in the motors, shaft goes axially backward-forward by like 1mm, which causes a small gear backlash, responsible for what people reffer as a "clanking noise" under heavy oscilating ffb. But other than this small hardware issue caused by usage of helical gears, that do make it more quiet and smooth, is a fair tradeoff.
This to me is like saying that firearms manufacturers are to blame for school shootings. The only blame is on the person who did the shooting.
The same applies here. It's not the TC server or their economic system nor Scawen's fault. It's the actual guys that misuse it by teaming up and driving/playing from different computers with the same LFS account.
I'm afraid 2-factor security stuff will not solve anything, as whoever is sharing the account can easily share the SMS code as well with his accomplice.
My point here is, that people will be people no matter how hard you try to impose some rules.

Gabor, you need to take some time off from LFS. This is becoming serious.
Hi and welcome to LFS.
You can still have fun in LFS even with the wheel you own at the moment. If you feel it's holding you down, then just switch to mouse+keys controls. LFS will run fine even on low-end PCs, so no worries there.
I'll have to disagree with the guys saying that most activity goes on in S3. There is indeed the most time and organization involved for league and other events, however, those are at best on a 1 week basis. There you will see only the best and most dedicated LFS drivers and for a new racer, there is not much fun, even if one manages somehow to get passed the qualifying session.
It's actually the demo servers and a few cruise S2 servers that are the most popular and you can have your casual daily LFS dose at any time. I recommend you start with a demo online and see how it goes. Then start thinking about getting S1, S2 and S3 licenses slowly over time and eventually an ffb wheel.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
