Wahay, moar cats!

Wrong thread; but the clip is appropriate in here

You should see an error message when it happens. What does it say?

For example you would get the following error message and then disconnect/reconnect;
JOOS - CAR

You can press Control+s to take a screenshot of the error (screenshot will be saved in /lfs/data/shots).

Yes, nice, but unnecessary in my opinion. There are loads more other stuff that can be added - which is worth the time Scavier spends on implementing.

What would happen when you spec another driver? Would you see their total driven distance?

The RAC does have a trip counter, but it resets when you spec another driver (or change views), iirc.

How about attaching the original .mpr?

Probably not; you would have to make an exception in the university network to allow communitcation between the PC and the masterserver.

Can you join-in via specific server? i.e. without waiting for hosts list, just type in a server name (i.e. cargame.nl s1) and try connecting.

If that does work you can search the available hosts on the LFSworld and then join by using the method above...

Hi, for starters - the lack of response maybe due to this being posted in a wrong sub-forum (at least I think so). Technical Asst. subforum is for stuff related to LFS. Airio is a 3rd party add-on.

The official Airio thread can be found here. You might have better luck if you posted your request there. Although it would be best if you directly got in touch with an admin or a team member of dMr.

A quick Google search brings up their forum. So you might as well sign up there and make a request. Good luck.

Confusing to me too. I found this explaination:

Quote from AndroidXP :

You can use scripts to automate the process of setting the correct wheel turn per car. See: Script Guide.

What it boils down to is that you modify the LFS\data\script\CAR.lfs files (replace CAR with the 3 letter car initials, like XRT) and set each car's steering according to their ingame steering angles. These CAR.lfs script files are executed after leaving the garage (pit out onto the track) with the corresponding car.

As an example, for the XRT you would modify XRT.lfs and add following line in the script:

/wheel_turn 720

I guess you do all this to have the G25 soft-stops working for you? Because if you don't need the FF stops you can simply set the wheel to 720 or 900 degree rotation, set wheel turn compensation in the LFS options to something > 0 and all cars will automatically have a 1:1 steering with your G25, without having to do anything.

*gabs popcorn* I can't wait! :hyper:

Quote from Kristi :

Geez what is that name.

Its appropriately named.

Surely a neighbour would help? What exact does not work? A glass of water won't be much help - although maybe help your parched throat. Does Windows recognize the wheel at all? Maybe someone already called 911. Anyway, is it still under warranty?

If it shows that the clutch is fully pressed in Control Panel nothing you will do in specific games might change anything.

If you have not reinstalled the drivers yet, do so - it might sort out the clutch. Wont take that long anyway.

Whats the issue with FFB? Is FFB ok in the other PC? If it is not - have a look in the LFS Manual about setting up the FFB in the profiler (http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/W ... tting_up_a_Logitech_Wheel)

Just checking: is your PC a Windows 7 32 bit? (or is it 64 bit?)

Reinstall the correct drivers (http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/ ... oads&bit=&osid=14) and do the calibration. When installing the Logitech software, do NOT plug in the wheel until asked to do so in the calibration process.

After calibration check in control panel > game devices > Logitech G25 to see if it does recognize the clutch as an axis now...

Hi, yes, quite possibly it is something on their end.

What type of connection is he using? i.e. if he's using wi-fi or tethering via phone etc., get him to connect via a direct connection (ethernet).

If possible, ask him to run tests from both www.speedtest.net and www.pingtest.net and post the results here.

i.e.

400°.

Pits > BF1 > Steering.

The wiki is maintained by Victor + the LFS community; so someone mistakenly added the BF1 to 450°

R.i.p.

Quote from Saabjock :

I wish there were some way to unlock all cars for offline only racing against the AI...

Hi, first of all - you should be able to use all cars offline (in Single Player and Hotlap modes).

The LFS "level system" is a 3rd-party application. It has nothing to do with developers of LFS. But a number of server admins are using this tool to filter out inexperienced drivers. As Bean0 said, not all servers use this.

Specifically which types of cars are you interested in racing? Maybe if you let us know we'll be able to point out a few servers that dont have the filtering in place.

Pros

• Completed my Masters - which took up most of my year
  
• Got a wee bit better at LFS
  
• Got myself a dSLR and slowly improving (I think)
  
• 1:18 die cast collection grew to 46
  
• Visited Mercedes Benz World and Top Gear Live
  
• Lots of random walks around London
  
• Went on a couple of rather intersting short-vacations
  

Cons

• Yet to land a decent job
  
• "Won" £2; but lost the ticket before I cashed it
  
• Didn't get to visit home (Sri Lanka)

Caution: might not be hilarious, or even funny! You've been warned. :hide:

Whats the exact error message that the people get when they try to connect? It could be a number of things, but usually its to do with you (the host) not forwarding the ports in your router.

The following is copied from another thread (this might not be the solution - depending on the error message that you're getting).

Have you opened the ports for LFS? Any firewalls restricting LFS' communication?

If you have Windows firewall activated or a firewall with the antivirus software, make sure LFS is in the exemption list. Look for the Program Permissions in the Firewall settings. Make sure LFS.exe is in that list.

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

Recheck that the lfs.exe is allowed in the firewall, and you could also add it to the exceptions list. Once you're sure the problem doesn't lie in the firewall, the next thing to look at is your router. Find the port forwarding page, and add ports 63392 and 29339. Both TCP and UDP.

Quote from morpha :

Only the server port, opening 29339 (master server) is not necessary (unless that happens to be the port you're hosting on).
The server port is the one you set in the "Port" field of the "Start new host" screen, 63392 is the default setting.

To do this, go to http://www.portforward.com/. Find your router make/model. On the next page, there is a link on the top right corner "Click here to skip this advertisemet advertisement...", click it. Find the Live For Speed Server on the next page. The resulting page got a guide on how to port-forward on your specific router.

Port Forwarding / Home Routers

There are quite a lot of home routers out there, so giving a guide for them all would be quite difficult. Heres one for DD-WRT (I run a linksys WRT54G).
Open a browser window, and goto your router's IP address. In most situations you'll find this is your default gateway. You can find this by going to Start > Run, typing "cmd", clicking ok, and then typing "ipconfig" and pressing enter.
Click "Applications & Gaming"
Click "Port Forwarding"
Click Add
The following settings should be enough: Application = LFS, Port From = 63392, Protocol = Both, IP Address = Your Local IP Address (can be found from ipconfig, as above), Port to = 63392, and tick Enable.
Click "Save Settings"

Check out PortForward.com for a guide for your router.

How do I even sign up for these things?

This thread is specifically about the LX series by Realistic NASCAR. Sign up info can be found >here<.

LFS got an in-built scripting system. Have a look here: http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Script_Guide

I've not used it myself, but from what I can see there you can adjust the wheel rotation too.

Quote from Scawen :

Arabic is quite a difficult one to support because the text needs to go in the reverse direction, so it's not just a case of adding the Arabic alphabet. A lot needs to be done with the text formatting and the way the characters are drawn on the screen. I haven't researched how the input method works and how you combine Latin text and Arabic text in one string, and how the direction of the text changes in one ascii string... it sounds quite confusing. Anyway, I'm interested in it but I really can't estimate when we can support Arabic.

Quote from Scawen :

[...]Anyway Arabic in LFS is not forgotten - I'm interested in supporting the right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew, after studying them at some point but I think it will still be a long time before these become a priority... as you know the Scirocco is the main priority at the moment [...]
