BUG REPORT

Watch attached replay: I'm standing at the start, I get sent to spectate for a falstart. Thing is I never let go of the clutch. (In the replay it doesn't actually say anything about the penalty. I guess it wasn't saved - it showed up at the time though).

I just finished putting the wheel back together. Thanks for the advice!

As it turns out, the button itself wasn't the cause. There is a rubber "padding" between the button and the.... "electronic plate" (sorry I don't know the word for it, I hope you know what I mean ). That rubber part was worn out. Luckily there is an identical part used for the buttons on the other side of the wheel, so I just replaced them. As a result my POV is now a bit sluggish, but the others are fine. I guess you could call that a problem.. half-solution?

Also, that GT logo is put on using double sided tape. As a result I completely destroyed it when taking it off. Luckily, I have an old DFP lying around, so I took off the badge from the other one (doing a better job this time) and replaced it. Now that I have the old DFP out though, I plan to somehow make my old pedals usable again (Logitech asked me to cut off the plugs and send it to them, so that's why I need to work on it).
I figure: the pedals have two separate axis, so given that I get my hands across on an old joystick (which also has 2 axis) maybe I'll be able to work something out? If anyone's interested, I'll keep posting if I get any progress!

I'll try to make this brief.

I use manual clutch in LFS. My DFP is far from new, and as a result the buttons got quite dirty. (Specifically the side of the button). Therefore when I push the button I use for clutch, it stays pressed, it doesn't go back. When that happened with one of them, I started to use another one as the clutch - so please don't recommend that

I've decided that my DFP needs to be opened. Once I can "reach" the button it should be very easy to clean. My question is:

Is there anything I should watch out for? Because from this pic I can see that I'll need to take the whole FFB motors apart? I'd really love to avoid doing that...

Any easier way to solve my problem?

@ Kim, I've heard of Richard Torp, but haven't met him
That story of you hiring someone from LFS made me laugh. You must have very professional conversations with him at work I imagine

I've actually made quite a few friends in my country.

And once I met someone from abroad through LFS. I went to Denmark to study - at first I didn't have access to the Internet where I lived - couldn't download LFS. So I ended up asking... I'm sorry, I forgot the name! If you read this: thanks again!!

Anyhoo, we met up on our bikes at a bridge near Charlotenlund Station, and he gave me a cd with LFS. How romantic is that? Only thing missing was a sunset in the backgroud. Haha :spin:


scuse my need for weird humour this evening..

You seriously did a 24 hour race by yourself? 24hour of sitting by the computer STRAIGHT?

am i sick ?

The answer is YES. :dopey:

stevewhite, how old are you? I think it's very relevant
Back when I was about 18, I used to play it a LOT. Nowadays, somehow... I'm not hooked on it as much. I mean I still enjoy playing LFS, but I just don't spend nearly as much time doing that. Even though I have just as much freetime, if not more. (by the way, only three years have passed, so not that much I guess).

Fantastic!
I hope this does well to the level of some of themovies we often see around here (cars simply passing by with rock music in the backgroud and... that's it).

You do a great job of creating an atmosphere, which sadly dies off in the GTR section of the movie - just my view.

I'm no expert in this field - but I think that the camera work, aftereffects are jest FANTASTIC! Best LFS clip I've seen, and looking forward to see some more from you!

On the one hand, I wish that LFS gets as popular as possible, because that's good for the Devs. And don't they deserve it!

On the other hand (the selfish side), from my experience many things get worse when they get more popular. Mind you, I personally think LFS already lost some of its charm compared to the demo days. I'm sure lots of people around here will disagree - again, just my opinion.

So for the time being, I do see LFS as kind of a niche product and a community (call it exclusive if you want), and I'm proud to be a part of it!

SWEET! I very much like the idea of the LRF class! Sadly I can't tonight, but I'll definitely give it a try tommorow!

Big THANK YOU here. Very very good sounds, really a new quality added to LFS as far as I'm concerned.

Also thanks to the more exposed gear whine in some cars I started to appreciate that the devs really did a good job with it! Just a proof that the devil lies within the details. (I hope this saying works in English too, as I translated it directly from Polish )

I wonder what customers are targeted with this product. I mean the dancing cowboy and such. The perfect new car for a cowboy? I don't think so...

Been a while since the last thread like this, hasn't it?

Greast duke_toaster, you've killed the thread. I hope you're happy :P

Hm. 6/10 there for educational reasons. I didn't know animals had hangovers.

I'm still not sure if I should post in here with an avatar like that

They give it 5 stars because it's a good laugh

Come to think of it: there was a German band back in the.. 80's I think. In the name of it, there was a word "Klan" I think. Apparently it was very popular back then, I'm sure it would fit into this thread! Sadly I don't remember the full name, maybe you do?

Krau... Klan. Something like that I think.

I think the people on this forum should stick to playing LFS - this thread being a perfect example of what I mean :dopey:

Anyhoo, you may wanna check these out:

#7 here

I KNEW it was a good idea to hurry up. I'm afraid 7 is already taken :hihi:

Definitely 7.

Press shift+m to cycle through the available mirror views (none, real, virtual, both).

As far as adjusting the virtual one goes, I'm not sure if there are any options.

A big thank you for the "non-nerdy" version

@ csimpok : geek ants:

Physical exercise...come oooon, you gotta be kidding




the latter is a silly joke, please do not brutally kill the author

I warm up my eye-balls by looking around the room in a desperate attempt to find something better to do

Good too see that this thread got some attention, and most of all - something is actually being done!

SamH: I guess the most probable outcome is that practically everyone will drive FXO on the gold servers, but the "gold racers" who hate FXO (such as me) can still race on the Silver server. Now, will we still get points for that?

Cheers, and thanks for the replies and good ideas everyone
