Hi, yes I got them working using some third-party thing. In the end, I turned it off because it causes FFB to sometimes lag behind.

I forgot what was the name of program and where I got it, but I could look it up and send it to you after 22nd march.

Then your best bet is to wait for some lapper guru to comment.

Yes, you will have to use some sort of for loop, that goes through the text lines.

This doesn't seems like a scroll bar as you would see in windows for example. I think it's just a manual trick, that shows certain number of lines of text. Pressing up and down button just itterates through the array, or some index.

What about spinners and rotators? I'm not sure if it is possible to put a rotator on the steering wheel and have it locked to its coordinates though.

Well, this sums it up perfectly for me:

"Crap, I'm an adult now."

Exactly, I'd rather they spend their time on updating LFS, then on making fancy reports. Progress reports with pictures are a luxury at the moment.

I beleive this is the fault of the speed limiter routine in LFS.

If it doesn't have already, it should have a PID loop. It may also be that it is simply not reacting fast enough. Scawen needs to retune some parameters for it. It has 3 terms, proportional, integral and differential. Most probably integral needs incresing a little bit.

It's like writting a letter to someone in the good old days. You wait, a reply letter may come or it may not. That's the fun

Or yes, dig a little bit more in this forum. It seems we already disscused about this, I forgot already

Then I suggest to lookup how to create a substring that removes all characters after decimal point, including the point. I don't know what programing language lapper uses, try to dig that out then google how to do substrings in it.

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.

Mind blown. Tnx for tip.

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
