Friend told me to run the msstdfmt.dll file, but how do you run it? :S It just says "Open with.." when I double click the msstdfmt.dll file.

I know what you mean! Its somewhere in this thead... It would be really nice if someone with the first posts linked to everything thats needed or. Started a new thread that only showed the things you may need to run Mekanik S2. This is very popular thread and its gettin´loooooong!

Quote from Goresh :

Once again someone new posts and the same dog is at the gate trying to get a bite in. If this is the attitude that the devs support, good luck keeping ppl interested. LFS's official forum...... come here make a post and be prepared to be publically belittled.
Tristancliffe, I ask you this, seeing as your such an authority, would it have not made more sense to post a link to thread addressing this? Why do you have to come across like an arrogant little boy? This reaction your becoming quite famous for displaying is neither helpful to newbies and does nothing in establishing a community that welcomes newbies.

Agree..

Yepp... I better get someone to print this baby out and get a DVD cover.

I have LFS S2 ALPHA P and i patched it with LFS_S2_ALPHA_PATCH_P5.. I also downloaded MecanikS2_P05 and extracted it to my desktop but when i run LFS then go to open Mecanik it says "Run-time error 713" Cant find file MSSTDFMT.DLL. Can anyone help me?

Get the file at http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msstdfmt
Then START -> RUN -> And paste this ->

regsvr32 %systemroot%\System32\MSSTDFMT.dll

A cool thing i noticed is that when you tweak your car extremely. Like 5000 HP.. When you full throttle, you can see the fuel gauge drop very quickly. So the fuelconsumtion is based on enginepower. And not the cartype.

Im glad that this is just a sim and not real life.. Otherwise i would be a poor poor man. Burning litres in seconds..

Quote from Hyperactive :

But if I recall right I need to unlock LFS every time it gets an update, not sure, my memory is not the best one.

Bad memory! illepall

You dont have to unlock it every new patch. Soo.... No worries!

Quote from ATHome :

By the way: Some of you might have the missing dll already in their windows\system32 folder, its just not registered...

To do so:

Start
Run

and then type in (or copy from my reply)

regsvr32 %systemroot%\System32\MSSTDFMT.dll

I owe you man! Thank you! Fixed out all versions for me... (i think)
And thank you Fonny. Great work.

When i try to start MecaniK S2 P04.zip i get this error message.

"Runtime error 713: Class not registered. You need the following file to be installed on you machine. msstdfmt.dll"

Ive tried downloading the dll file and put it in windows/system.

Ill keep trying.

Very nice initiative!

This mod could be useless if the Devs make the AI a little bit smarter. They should pit when they are running out of fuel and/or got serious damage. This must be fixed in S2, or the damage/fuel/tire factor will be useless in singelplayer. From the AI perspective that is.

Quote from JamesF1 :

Well, its not actually going to make a difference. How many people are going to be able to competitively race a 255% fuel load on one set of tyres and at decent laptimes?

:iagree:

Yes i agree.. But i dont think it should be released without an online fix.

I NEED a turbo boost tweaker! NOW! :tempted:

Nice idea! If its simple.. Otherwise we should wait for LFS Tweak.

Yepp... Its the same when standing under a bridge..
