Both backfiremod and LFS companion (included backfire) are no longer working since introduction of X patch.

Becky has indicated they wont be converted.
I liked LFSC because it kind of simulated a pitradio.

Freelook? Is that that free TrackIR kind of thing that uses a webcam? I've tried to get that to work and never could.

Thats Freetrack. http://freetrack.online.fr/english/

Just use the contrast on your monitor

Interesting thread!

Gotta love those modding threads, in a good way.
I have some experience with the LFS VOB format, I know how to work with it for around 40%.
I'm a 3d modeller, and I do UVW'ing and texturing.

Somebody I know, has wrote a whole VOB editor for Live For Speed, it's not done yet, but he can get new car models in live for speed, with textures, also the glass, etc.
For so far I know all he has to fix left are the brakelights of the car, and make the editor more user-friendly.

I'm afraid he won't release the editor to the public, because of the noobs who wouldn't know how it works, lots of crappy mods will be made, and ofc. because the devs wouldn't like it.

He has done a Skoda for Live For Speed, and will try doing a Mazda RX-7 for me soon, I just sent him the model + textures.

And about the auto downloader, DONT do it, IF the developers will ever let us mod the game, let them have to approve the downloads first, and then put them on LFSWorld, or something.
I can make a 10 kb car that will meet the filesize limit, but will be annoying as ...
Imagine a huge dead-textured box driving around the map..

All I can think of for now, just let the people who can actually make professional mods mod, just for the community, but if all noobs will start modding it will end up so horrible.

Seen the vid on Youtube. Its a classic skoda right?

Why does everybody think the world revolves around dollars

There is an autosave feature i seem to remember. No need do do it manual all the time.

I recommend getting a PDF reader and reading the whole edition, it's actually, shock horror, pretty good.
The realfeel article is quite interesting, and the 1970 sports cars one too (thats as far as I have got so far )

and the broadcasting one maybe.. love to see that available if i want to see some of my colleagues race

They got to Scawen i see. Have not read it yet. Off to....

I am using XP and it uses 14MB?? rather big too me?

Well luckily i got some to spare

Just take the BF1 around southcity and you should get the same "rush".

Seems a fraud better off buying direct. Dont know if this is a authorized reseller (like 4players.de). All downloads are from lfs.net. they require to license with lfs.net (hopefully people see that and decide to buy it direct).

Thanks.

Looked in the taskmanager myself and its runnig at 14MB which i still find much for a little app like this.

Quote from FL!P :

I've never seen those numbers, so I may be wrong, but try this:

1. open LFSRelax.cfg
2. scroll down to the bottom of the file
3. look for "AccelerationPrivateMessage = ^3{AccelerationTime}^7 ..." (that line is actually longer)
4. insert '#' in front of this line (without the quotes).
5. save and close the file, then relaunch LFSRelax, LFS, and try again.

Those numbers are new in 1.49 some kind of angle or degree of climb? I find the placing annoying as its in my main view and i dont know how it should help me?

Or... we just convinced him. He is just to ashamed to admit.

Quote from XCNuse :

Scawen already said he was going to rewrite the AI code (in the patch X thread)

I mean I kind of understand why someone would want to code AI, as you put it, but I'm sure once patch Y comes out many of you will see no need to code alterations in the AI.

Question is.. when will we see the beginnings of patch Y. :s

I dont wanna seee beginnings but endings would be nice
Dont expect anything too soon...maybe christmas present at best?

You are in luck. Its not that long its customizable think patch W it was.

Confused??? which one is which now?? 1.48 or the attachment, which one should i use/test?

Well that ends the Scawen on holiday thread running

Quote from DarkTimes :

I think the developers are doing fine, although they've been a bit quiet of late. Maybe Scawen has gone on holiday! But anyway, I don't think the developers have any financial problems, LFS seems to be very successful.

Think you are right. Only posts form Victor. And its a well-earned one also.

I have seen it calling out stuff with no cars around also, even on singleplayer. No idea what would cause it. I am using standard config settings.

Think the idea is to stop LFSrelax from using outgage (there is a setting at top of config for that). You wont get the fuel calc then.

There is another option to somewhat sponsor the project with some variable income. They introduced the hi-res skin download.

Or demolishing your dads car

Wow you are already extreme if you own a wheel i see ...

Quote from dude56 :

Well, LFSW could enforce a size limit, or force a total mod size on a server (so that you wouldn't be forced to download tons of crap)

Or it could even point you to a list of mirrors to download it from while in-game, much the same way the ingame updater works.

Think COD2 uses a system that lets you as a client download maps from the server. Maybe in LFS it could be done via LFSW. This could be a way of distributing additional tracks or even cars. However i am for the quality control and think even the current tracks and cars are only used by CTRA and leagues now so...use what we have first.
