Man, we can't add a tree next to the track yet and here you are speaking of a movable living thing across the track..

Quote from matze54564 :

Can you tell us which antivirus software you are using?

Avast. I also had the same issue with lfs.exe being detected as a dangerous app. Making the exception solved it.

I fully agree with all of the above, "only a few" elements can make a huge difference with the layout editor, regarding the immersion and layout variety. That will give us plenty of time to mess with it before a real need for a track editor comes along.

It's just like having more LEGO pieces of different shapes and sizes, that spark the imagination of the creator to build amazing things. The addition of a few types of trees that are already present in the original LFS tracks is more than enough.

Some day man, some day it may be a reality

I see these in Prague often, cleaning the street trash cans. I wonder what you can do with this little thing in lfs

Usualy with logitech wheels, this kind of error is due to device drivers. Some say never use logi ghub it's crap, some say only use logi lgs drivers and so on. I'm using ghub with G29 and lfs works fine. Try uninstalling it again and then install again lattest ghub with drivers.

Not to go into too much details, lfs supports 2 ffb axis now, this change was done some updates before the lattest one, so if everything was working a few months ago, it should still keep working. Nothing in connection with how ffb is handeled has changed recently in lfs, so it's probably logi being logi and windows being windows.

Such mod should not exist. We don't need many variations of the same car with a tiny changes.

Very interesting, but no, I don't think we'll ever see LFS going from 24bit color space to 30bit or 36bit. This would require a huge gfx rework, if it's even possible with the present compiler which is used. Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong.

The back buffer dynamic brightness implementation we saw in one of the progress reports some years ago is in my opinnion good enough and a very nice addition.

Try to set wheel/joystick as controler, set the brake axis calibration values to 0% and 100% then switch back to mouse. Not sure if it's even possible without any game device, but give it a shot and let us know.

What car and track are you testing? You have to readjust the FFB strength in LFS for each car/track combo.

The good starting value is about 10%, have a look at the yellow FFB bar graph just under the pedals and fine tune, not to have the clipping.

After phys/lighting/multithreading. On its own, this is already a huge undertaking and it for sure should not be sidetracked again by another "can of worms" as eclipse already mentioned. This way one would also avoid all potential compatibility issues. To succesfuly create a decent track takes enourmous amount of work and creativity, it should be done when lfs is ready for it.

Since I already had patched 0.7E11 lfs, it did offer me online right away to download new 0.7E12 patch, However, As I came to know this is not the case if one has the official 0.7E lfs. It's fine in most cases, except now where 0.7E lfs is not compatible with 0.7E12 lfs servers.

Still, I think no actions are needed here. We expect 0.7F official to be released soon, so no big deal in this short transition period.

No worries Scawen, tnx for fixing what needed fixing.

Yeah, I have those same errors since a couple years ago. It only shows up when I use laptop with integrated intel hd 4600 gpu, which is inside the i7 cpu. Nothing to worry about, it's just a warning.

This DirectInput error sounds like issues with an ffb controller. Do you have any device plugged in? If you have, try unplugging it and see if error persists.

Is it possible: with the use of a layout editor, maybe. Will anyone invest time to make it: no.

Just be aware of new rules, if you publish it as public you can't change it back to private anymore, and vice versa. So please, make it public.

Yeah, there may be plenty of solutions, this one which you proposed is very resonable.

If we will ever see old WE comeback, the perfect moment to release it would be when new gfx/lighting/tire phys update comes out. Since, all WR's will be reset at that point. Anytime after the big update is also a good moment.

I fully agree on including the old westhill back, as it was. No updates needed on it at the moment.

The technical question arrises, how to name it and what happens with the WR's.

where this car model come from ?

If you decide to buy a new LFS license, then it's logical to come up with a new lfs username, once you create a new account in lfs.net.

So, in theory, one can put an AI on the server and have it run indefinitely?

I don't think so, but I didn't check it, so I'm just guessing.

It is only possible once you buy a 2nd LFS license, then you both can play online on your own created server for free. This server is closed soon after a user who created it leaves.

That is a good suggestion, I support it.

ps. I think someone suggested this in the past already, but it has not been implemented yet.

Can you share your another way? Might be also helpful for someone else.
