Quote from MadCatX :

There is quite complete ImSim library for Java called JInSim. It takes a bit of using to but if you want to brush up on your Java it might be worth a go.

The problem is, that my JAVA knowledge is very...basic. This means, that I would have to learn everything new up from making classes to how a network stream (and other things) are set up with JAVA. It would take years

Quote :

What you're trying to do is very easy for anyone with InSim basics.

Well....then, it would be very cool if someone could write me that little app

It would be cool also, when you could staple objects onto another.

I've posted this in an other Thread before, but think it deserves a place, where maybe the dev's could see it and hopefully include it into S3

What would be cool would be an AutoCross waiting list, so that it's not possible anymore that 2 cars are into another at start, when both drivers hitting the join-button hardly

Quote from Flame CZE :

It can be easily done by LFS scripts.

First, create two .lfs files named mic_off.lfs and mic_on.lfs data/script folder.
Then go to Options > Controls > ALT +.
Bind /run mic_on to ALT + F12 and assign the desired button to it.

If you have some other command / text assigned to ALT + F12, then you have to change it in the script files as well.

And if ON message appears when you turn your mic OFF, just bind /run mic_off instead.

I hope it works


mic_off.lfs

/echo ^3> Mic ^1OFF
/altf 12 /run mic_on

mic_on.lfs

/echo ^3> Mic ^2ON
/altf 12 /run mic_off

I have done that already by myself. But that isn't what I really wanted. Reasons:
Echo messages are shown where chat and other messages are shown. That could lead into some confusion. Secondly, buttons who are assigned in the Logiprofiler to a key (key for TS3 activation) are not available AS BUTTONS anymore in LFS. Only as the key string, which it's assigned in the LogiProfiler. That lead to the problem, that an echo-message is flooding, cause the key is pressed down all the time.

So, what would be cool is:

An indicator light, or something like that, which is possible to set somewhere onto the screen, where you can easily see it (e.g. above the steering weel; or near the windscreen). That indicator light should light yellow, when the Push-To-Talk Button/Key is pressed.

I hope it's understandable, what I want and why scripts aren't working the way I would have liked it.

edit:
What's working a little bit like it, is to set the TS3-activation key to the flashing light. But then it would be confusing for people who are driving in front or behind me

edit2:
Ich könnte das Ding sogar in Pseudocode oder evtl. Java selbst schreiben..allerdings hab ich 0 Kenntnisse über InSim und was man dafür wiederum in Java wissen muss. Es wären im Grunde nur wenige Zeilen:

while(KeyIsPressed("key"))
{Show circle(yellow,position);}

fertig.

Quote from Bean0 :

Could you try '/key 0 press ctrl_f12'

Although that doesn't seem correct as far as I remember.

no, that's not working either.
maybe it's not possible to set keys to ctrl_fxx?

no, definitely not. When I press CTRL+F12 by myself in LFS, everything works fine.

But when I run the bind script, LFS told me "bindscr Line 3: Unknown Key-Command"

Hello

I tried to bind the /key 0 to ctrl_f12 via script:

/key 0 ctrl_f12

but it doesn't work. LFS stated: "Unknown Key-command" but in the commands.txt the ctrl_f12 command is listet for possible keycommands.

Can anyone help me?

Hi

I have a short question:

Can anybody write me a short Insim Programm that gives a message in LFS to me, when a Wheel-Button is pressed?

Why?
I have put a cycle-process on my most-right redbutton of the G25 Shifterpanel which activates TS3 Push-to-Talk by pressing it and deacitvares Push-to-Talk by pressing it the second time. But sometimes whilest driving i forget, that i pushed the button and so my Microfone is active all the time.

So it would be very helpful if a message shows me when the "radio button" is active.

Hope for helpful answers

Nice!

That's looking little bit like the Ginettas. By the way, Ginetta G50, G75 would be great cars for LFS.

Quote from -beelzebub :

i tested that and it was difficult, but funny
Good job

yeh, today i put my most difficult course online, because i wanted to show it my team-mates. One "lap" is about 8 to 9 Minutes long. But don't worry, other tracks aren't that long and that difficult

Quote from Sobis :

Is it TRIAL or TRAIL? Or both?

changed it now. It's "Trial" named after this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_%28sport%29

Hello LFS-Drivers,

we, the TSF Team, have set up a new LFS-Server for you. But not a normal race, drift or even cruise server.

It's a TRIAL Server!

Umm, what does TRIAL mean?
On TRIAL courses you have to pass gates, which are positioned on natural terrain, mostly on hillsides or bumpy terrain. The aim is to solve the course

without hitting any of the posts! A quick time is welcomed too, of course. But it's not meant to rush through the course smashing the posts down.

The server is free to anyone but there are rules, as written down here:


LFS TRIALcourses RULES
-------------------------

1. Path

2. Joining / waiting list

3. Difficulty and types of Courses

4. Available courses

5. Server Adress and Trackchange

---------------

1. PATH

The path will be shwon by different types of gates (marked with posts):

Red Post-Gate

You have to pass them, otherwise, your time is not valid.

White Post-Gate

White Posts signaling end of a sector. You have to pass them in order to get a valid time!

Orange Post-Gate

These will guide you the way, its not mandatory to pass them, but recommended.

Green Post-Gate

Here's the finish!

There are some objects, like marker, which will help you finding the way.
But some courses are so long, that you may not find the right way first time, you drive it. When you hit a movable-object, you'll be given a time-penalty of 2 seconds. Hitting a barrier gives you no penalty-time, but may damage your car




2. JOINING & WAITING LIST

Because the trial-courses are specified as Autocross-Layouts, theres only one starting point, which can only be used by one driver at a time. Please be patient if start is blocked. We'll evaluate the possibility of adding a waiting list to the TRIAL-System. But that's not yet done.




3. DIFFICULTY AND TYPES OF COURSES

All courses are devided into difficulties, which are:

Green - Supereasy
Yellow - Easy
Blue - Difficult
Black - Superdifficult

The courses are also divided into different types:

classic = includes only gates and natural terrain
extra = including also ramps and other drivable objects



4. AVAILABLE COURSES

Here's a list of TRIALcourses available yet:

extracourses:
- BL Carpark I (BLUE)
- FE Hills I (GREEN)
- WE Sprawled I (BLUE)
- WE Sprawled II (BLACK)

classiccourses:
- WE Steep I (BLUE)
- FE TheClimb I (YELLOW)



5. SERVER ADRESS AND TRACKCHANGE

The Server has the following adress:

Simracing-FahrerlagerTRAIL

The courses are changed manually yet. In future it will maybe contain a voting system, like on cargame servers. But at this time, the courses are changed every 2 days, by myself.

-----------------------------------
Here are some demonstration videos, of some courses:

In this first post, I'll give you any further updates and news.
And now. Have fun!

I have created a Poll, to see if there's a demand for a TRIAL League.

PS: If you have ideas for TRIALcourses, you can of course post them here, or PM me

This new Course is now online:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFb2t4gHI7E

specific feature: you have to go 2 laps on this (as shown in the video)!

We have now an extra TRIAL Server online:

Simracing-FahrerlagerTRAIL

First Track is a classicTRAIL course on Westhill
Have fun!

Hi everyone,

I don't know where to put this thread in, so I've done it here.

Is it possible (maybe with InSim or Admincontrols) to set up a waiting list for Autocross courses?
What it should do?

When more than one driver wants to enter an Autocross course, only one can join. After then the start is blocked. Now it would be cool, if all other driver could set them on a waiting list, so that they will join imediatly when start is free. That would provide people from clicking all the time on "join" and sometimes have 2 cars into another at starting point?!

Also can you set the starting time manually? That it always takes just 5 seconds untill startinglights going green?

Thanks for help.

Quote from Dudeu :

Looks like lot of fun! Any change youre going to release it here?

I'ill going to release a trialcourse-trackpack in the near future here, with more than just this one course

While I was experimenting on the BL-Car-Park with some armcos, ramps and so on, I was having an idea. Why not make a TRIAL course?

And here it is:

LFS-TRIAL

It's sometimes online on our "Simracing-Fahrerlager.de" Server. When responses are good, it's maybe possible to set an own LFS-TRIAL-Server online.

What do you think of that idea?

Quote from Jimmy_Lemon :

Already made it my friend, check page 5 for the layout

Okay, well, must have missed page 5

I don't know if I'm right, but I think this one is missing:



This was my first layout I've build and done also a video of it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDhdQACxJOM

I named it CENTER, but you have used this name already, so I changed it into CUP

Wie rührend.....oh..I'm in the english forum

Dont know the translation for "rührend" so....Nice first post

Me wont get any SMS....dont have a mobile^^
And I even don't get the newsletter....thought.

So....only thing to know, when the patch is out, will be this forum, the german forum and the 100 icq messages arriving, when patch is out

But when today?

I think its time for an hourly countdown

Tried the Williams....not perfect..but I think its showable

I wonder nobody wonders about the second screeshot?!
Do someone know which corner of Westhill (must be Westhill; look at the curbs) it is?

Hehe....Yes. Grand Prix was a little bit too random in this case

Another thing, which would be great is, to have sand/gras on the Track, when someone drove into the gravel and then back on the track. Could be Funny on some corners, where most people cut (Last Chicane Aston nation e.g.)
