As I don't spend much or any time on servers where its relevant, I am wondering, does a replay show how many or who voted?

A replay normally clears up this kind of thing, OP you could send your replay to the server admins, it might help your case, or not.

Quote from RS1T :

So a criminal who has just spent years being rehabilitated will always commit crimes for the rest of his life? I don't think so

I'm just wondering how exactly a "LFS cheater" is rehabilitated ?



Maybe criminals, and cyber-cheaters are slightly different things.

Interestingly enough I was tempted for the 1st time a few nights ago to join the RR TBO server!

Thank goodness I was refused entry

Quote from 5haz :

One thing I should have learnt ages ago is that large, pick up racing servers are not good places to go.

This very thread seems to prove that statement as false.

Quote from J@tko :

Racing in RB4s and you just get passed left right and centre on the straights

Go faster the RB4 rules in TBO

SD.

Its always worth doing a recalibrate in the game, and moving all the pedals and wheel to their limits then lock in the game.

I do this everytime I start LFS

SD.

I have to agree with Rudi, this forum takes alot of reading for not much content. even in the test patch section where you have to click the popup, people are posting chaff that scawen has to wade through to find usefull information. Then some of those same people start whining about why this or that hasn't been finished.

I miss the good old days


Welcome back btw...

The only people that decide if or when there will be any update, are the Devs, and when its ready they will tell us

There is a test patch forum where you can help test some of the the latest features, at your own risk

Quote from Bawbag :

XRT ftw

Maybe get some sort of get toghether for TBO's, I for sure miss racing alot of the old TBO junkies, like Mr Dave up here, Gener_Al etc etc.

Once upon a time we could go on a server and find 20 well known guys driving as club in the TBO's....

So true Ray (TBO Junkies lol)
Ahhhh I remember those days well
SD.

I'm after some good TBO class racing, tried CTRA Race2 but very quiet there.

Following this thread with interest.

SD.

This must be the most rubbish thread of the year, with the most abusive and off topic posts.

There used to be at least some good reading here at LFS forums, sadly its becoming harder and harder to find anything worth reading here anymore.

Quote from Fischfix :

a cheat becomes a cheat, only if someone knows you are using it

Regardless of the fact that its not really detectable if one is or is not using a recorded macro to simulate the super fast clutch in/change gear/clutch out, the question becomes is it against the rules? only if it is against the rules of a league or server then someone will have to find a way of detecting it.

Of course I dont think anyone here would dissagree that it is against the spirit of good sportsmanship.

I wasn't being completely serious when I added the cheating bit above, I should have added a smiley

Quote from Willem Moolenaar :

I cant seem to find that tab. When I go to the Windows Control Panel > Game Controlers > G25 > Properties. I only see 2 tabs: 'Settings' (where I can calibrate), and 'Test' (where I can only test the wheel and buttons).

Did you install the Logitech drivers for the G25 and then uninstall the Profiler? I've extracted the drivers myself and use them in an unattended Windows installation, so the Logitech download is never run.

I've set the degrees of turn in LFS settings to 720 degrees, but that didn't help any. I cannot change the degrees of turn in the Windows Control Panel > Game Controllers because I guess I'm missing a tab due to not installing the Logitech Profiler.

IIRC I think you click the settings tab then there is an advanced button you can click to get into the forces/springs menu.

I am pretty sure the drivers are seperate from the profiler and available to download but I dont remember where from

you ar looking for a window that looks like the one below,(old pic but relevant ***EDIT The values in the pic where used for testing only and should not be used I suggest all sliders at 0 except the top one (forces I use 50-100) and the rotation one of course try 720***)

Quote from Fuse5 :

Yes, If you expect the G25 to work properly in LFS, you should definitely install the Profiler.

You DO NOT need to install the Logitech Profiler, its rubbish and used by cheaters.

Its up to you however, LFS will work just fine without it.

You can change global wheel-turn in the windows CP advanced config tab

Shame reading about this unfair cheating, I don't hotlap anymore, but online races are/will be unfair also.

I suppose "script kiddies" will always be around exploiting the fair players.

I dont see the need to rant swear or insult anyone for it tho.

Its not all about winning for me, I try to do my fair share I enjoy the reacing, it has allways been with the belief that the playing field was somwhat level, until now.

SD.

Great work as always

"All green buttons respond to ENTER key"

introduced somwhere in thses patches. Does not work with the GREEN UNLOCK button when unlocking Y30, I noticed it this time.
just checked its the same in Y.

very small thing but I thought I'd mention it. ( I imagine its for a good reason)

Good luck with the patch.

SD.

Although the action looks good, IMO the quality and jerkyness of the stream and the missing textures? make LFS look bad.

Well done for streaming it live tho, very easy 1 click and watch, picture came up straight away not like that Esport apple rubbish.

Quote from AndroidXP :

Because the look amount is now configurable and by default on 45°. To still be able to look at a 90° angle you now have to press both keys. Looking back is also nothing you simply do during a race and requires a bit more effort (reaching to the look back button), respectively it's now impossible on the race cars and only shows the rear view mirror instead.

I have configured the left/right looks to 90deg and it works fine with one button for each way, so pressing both buttons does nothing in this config.

its a shame that in some cars you can still use the R button and others you can't, it would be nice to have the twinpress lookback back as the mirrors are next to useless at realistic fov settings IMO.

SD.

I was also dissapointed when this feature was restricted/removed.

I think the general concensus at the time was that it was a good thing to remove things from the game that were considered unrealistic, this was at the same time 45 deg look was introduced.

After some discussion the "adjustable look angle" 45 to 90 was introduced in options, however the rear look (L+R=Rearlook) was just removed.

If you find a way of doing it with the old L+R buttons, I would use it as it helps alot with racecraft.

I imagine the hardcore part of the community will flame this thread

Quote from Cr45h :

Between a RB4 and a FXO, all of us knows that FXO is faster.

So tempted to disagree

The track choice also makes a lot of difference between the TBO class cars IMO the XRT is probably fastest (top speed) out of the 3 when driven well, however I find the RB4 can out perform the other 2 at most smaller tracks provided its for only a few laps.

As Tristan has written above the balancing is extremely hard because due to the different drive trains in the class, each car heats tyres differently and requires different driving techniques to lap really fast.

There will always be the situation where some players will be able to drive one car faster/quicker than another.

ages

This should shape up to be a nice evenings racing I'm quite looking forward to it
