I see the emergency brake and hear the beeps, but it doesn't react. I have it enabled.
Automatic lights work fine by the way.

Do you also get the "Emergency Brake" text? That is only sent when my program at least tries to press the brake button. If not, have you tried starting my program as admin? Maybe windows won't allow its inputs otherwise.

Quote from ntelas :

It doesn't say anywhere to change anything for mouse keys. Not on the setup file, neither on the controls.txt file. I thought it was automatic because its left right by default. I have left mouse as accelerator, right mouse as brake.

What should I type and where?

No then its all fine. My program just assumes that the default values are left accelerate and right brake.

I just wanted to make sure that you don't use a different setup.

Do you see the "emergency brake" notification on your screen and the car just doesn't brake or do you only get a warning and nothing happens?

Do you have your automatic brake settings in the menu on green?

Hi Robert

2: I did set the controls for mouse, as this is what I am using. There is no overlay running, such as discord or stream.

Do you have your mouse buttons assigned as accelerate and brake (right mouse button as brake)?
Thats the only thing I can think of. I just tested a lot of things with mouse, but it does seem to work just fine.

Oh yeah and I will include a file to at least automatically initialize insim when starting LFS with the next update

Quote from ntelas :

I can't get the inputs to work. No auto-brake, auto-hold or auto ignition. By the way, heads-up display doesn't work if I launch LFS in normal mode. It only works if launched in administrator mode.

But even as a heads-up display, the app crashes after some time.

...

EDIT: Just noticed that it crashes when I spectate someone who needs to do an emergency brake.

Hey! Thanks for your feedback. And yeah, I know some of the issues, and they are my stupidity and easily fixable.

The next Version will have an error message when /insim 29999 isn't set before starting the program.

But...
1. The thing with the administrator mode seems like your antivirus program doesn't like local TCP connections. My program uses a basic data connection with a socket between LFS insim and my Python script. Your Firewall/Antivirus program may think that that's some kind of sketchy malware haha. Not really sure what to do about that.

2. I've never heard that no input is working.

Did you set your personal control settings in the controls.txt if you changed anything?

Do you have LFS focused the entire time or something else, like discord?

What type of controller are you using?


3. Yes I know, these messages were for me when I was figuring out whats the best way to support mods with the AEB. You have to brake in a very specific way to get it to work properly. I know that and I am working on making it better. For now I will have to tell you, sorry for the inconvenience :/.

If the brakedistance is too bad btw, open the menu and click "recalibrate AEB". That will reset it to the default value. And you can set the warning distance to "late".

Hope that helped a bit, and if you give me the answers to the questions above, maybe we can figure out, why the pressing of buttons is so difficult for my program on your pc haha.

Best wishes,
Robert

New Version out. Feedback appreciated

Thanks for the awesome feedback!

Quote from Scawen :

Thanks for the video. I posted it on the LFS Twitter account.

Wow, thank you so much!

Quote from V_Ro :

Great job Rob! I love these videos!
And I think this music is perfect for this trailer...

Thank you LFS.

Thank you so much!

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :

Why on earth you never selected racing action from replays? Never came in mind in first place?

Also, not generally everything was covered ( not saying literally everything alright! )


But other than that, well done!


EDIT: Yea yea, it's MODS Trailer, I get it, but there was already racing action happening with mods. RTFR for example

I see your point, but there is a very simple reason.
It doesn't look good. Multiplayer Replays tend to be very laggy - more than the actual race. At least for me. And jumping cars are just not so nice for a trailer .

But yeah, I know that there could have been more racing.

Quote from Flotch :

Very nicely done !!!

Thanks

Quote from Viperakecske :

Nice,90% of the vid is cruise,thought its a racing sim
Also what is this washing machine song under the video?

Well thanks For the Feedback. Cruising is a Huge Thing in a big Part of the lfs Community, so i figured that's appropriate. Still you might bei right that there is Not as much racing in there as there should be.

Maybe i'll do a Propper lfs racing Trailer one day.

;1996960"]Great video, well done

Thank you, really appreciated!

Quote from Evolution_R :

I like the idea and the trailer, the choice of music - not so much.

Yeah, i'm Not 100% satisfied with it either, but it was quite good For Being non-copyright

Quote from kristofferandersen :

hey rob any updates on westhill crash bug. thanks

Hey!
If you download the latest Version (11.7.2 Beta 8) that should be fixed already. If it still crashes, pls tell me and ill immediately look into that.

Hey again Scawen!

Don't know if this is a known issue so... here it is haha:

When generating an AI Path for a Mod, if you tab out of the LFS Window (once bc I wanted to look smth on discord and one time bc I wanted to open another application), LFS always is very unhappy.

The path generation for me kind of stopped for a good minute, then I had a black screen for a good minute and then after a bit of the windows "LFS is not responding", it came back to life.

It seems like you need to be focused on the lfs window the entire time for it to work without any hiccups.

Ive attached a screenshot when lfs was not responding...

The path seemed to be generated fine afterwards anyways though. Maybe still something to keep in mind .

Best Regards

Oh and anoter thing.. Driving bikes on keyboard - stabelized, is impossible haha. It doesnt let you turn

WARNING: THIS IS A TEST

PLEASE TEST BEFORE YOU POST


Hello Racers,

Here is a new test patch: 0.7B7
....
....

Hey Scawen,

just tried it, and while the text selection works fine, no matter what kind of keyboard i select, every symbol is an ASCII Character, after I click on it on the virtual keyboard...


IDK if that's in any way intentional, but I didn't find any way to use other symbols now

Best Regards.

Quote from r3zp3k7 :

I tried it in Single player, it has some issues with the Head-Up Display / gauges. They freeze when you Pause / Resume the race and fix only, if you stop assistant and start it again. After I exit single player and join multiplayer I have the same results. Have to restart the assistant to fix the issue.

Another thing, which is worth updating is the mouse/cursor visibility. It can't be hidden, which is a bit awkward for mouse drivers.

Overall, great job at the updates. I'm happy, that you continued to support it.

Btw. I didn't seem to find how to move the head-up display/gauges, is that possible?

Hey! Thank you for the feedback.

1. Outgauge: That's weird. That shouldn't happen. There is outgauge handling implemented that should detect exactly that and basically reboot outgauge when it freezes. Do you know how long you have paused the game for? Does it also happen if you just pause for like 5 seconds? I'll look into that tho.

2. The cursor visibility is a thing that I definitely know, but I just didn't see myself bother with that so far. I will see what I can do. The mouse stays there because there are always buttons on the screen that you can click. Ill look what I can do.

And thanks

westhill in just a ride server. using newest lfs version

Hey! Sorry, i am Just stupid. I litterally forgot to include some Files. I'll fix it today or tomorrow.

Any idea how to fix this? (Sorry for that long code, i don't know where to put it)

Well, i have Always Had issues with this bloody geos_c.dll.

The Problem is, that i dont have a win 7 System to Test it. I dont think that Windows 10 systems have this Problem, because i include one DLL For win 10 in my Programm.

The worst Thing ist that i dont really know how to fix it, because i personally dont even utilise this geoc Thing. It's Just needed For one Python library that is used.

Maybe i can Figure Out some Kind of workaround there.

I'll definatly try...

Sorry For the inconveniences. I'll Post smth on the Forum If i Figure Something out.
