just one thing it's nice to have the 3d depth slider for the replay screen
is it a good idea to have this for driving too? or is there a particular 3d depth standard for the rift (that's suppose to match natural real world 3d) ???

While playing you don't have a virtual screen, you ARE in the 3D world. That slider would only be used in the main menu, replays and maybe for the screen overlays.

Great news, it is nice to see you again

I don't own a Rift, but I think I know the answer to two of your questions.

Quote from audimasta :

A couple of small details bugged me a little bit however. When i'm in the cockpit, i have to turn my head and "aim" to see certain details without them being blurry, like the map and laptimes. I don't know if this is only me, or if others experience this as well.

I've heard that the Rift has a sweet spot in the middle of the lense where everything looks better.

Quote from audimasta :

Also, i have the drivers body visible in cockpit, and the edges on the driver gets very colorful. I will try to take a screenshot when i get home to show what i mean.

This is probably due to LFS' lack of color aberration correction. Everything at the edge of your field of view should be very bad in LFS (for the moment).

This one this really funny, Scawen, Watch this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeKjVWIbwzE

He has already saw it, he even shared it on Twitter

Quote from Kid222 :

I wanted to try this, but i couldn't figure out, how to run it as a client, it still demands the admin pw. Is this server side app only?

Open the game, and in the menu to create a server check (or delete) what admin password have you put in there.

Great video, thanks for sharing it haha

I've watched his unboxing and Euro Truck Simulator 2 videos, and you can see how much impressed he is with LFS. In ETS2 he is chatting normally, but in LFS he can barely think of any word to say

The unreleased VW Scirocco was shown using 900º (without driver arms). Eric would have to redo the animations to implement it in the public game.

Quote from nacim :

By the way, can you give us a progress report about the tyre physics and other S3 content (and Westhill too) ?

Here is what you ask for

Quote from Scawen :

No, it's much too subtle. What Eric is talking about is something you can feel, but not see.

In my words, just as I've said before, the new tyres feel better to drive. I think it's because of the physical model used to combined the lateral and longitudinal forces.

It's not something you can see. There are terrible flaws with the new tyre system, relating to pressure, temperature, load sensitivity. It's unfinished work. It's something I want to get finished. I can't make any more comments on the subject at this time.

You need to set "Look function" to axis, then it should just receive the information and work. It uses the TrackIR protocol.

Quote from Matrixi :

Rift is no-go on motion rigs, the headtracking would go completely berserk as it combines IR tracking with attitude based gyro tracking.

If the motion platform told Oculus SDK (or whatever is apropriatte) how much degrees it moved, then the rotational tracking could be corrected (camera for positional tracking can be hardmounted to the moving rig). Not that it is actually done, but I guess it is doable if someone really gets the motivation to do that.

They already fixed it. For tha last weeks I'm finding Kunos to be more productive (maybe I'm just more aware of the news) promising and releasing features in a timely manner

So I can't play AC since the last update, and I'm not the only one affected. Waiting for Kunos to say anything about the matter...

The new netcode looks smoth, but I got 2 crashes caused to lag. I was 5 meters behind a friend (60ms constant) and suddenly we went airborn. Later going door to door I got pushed a bit sideways, this lag just pushed me to the grass so it wans't that bad.

Anyways, it is a lot better than before. And the new UI in the server (chat window, times, etc) is very cool.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

But am i crazy or blind, or there's no built-in chat

You have an app called "Python chat", it is the wrost chat ever, but it works

Quote from racer autov8 :

But not for everyone. Like myself. With Windows 7 or newer.

I doubt that DXTweak doesn't work, but if that's the case I'm sure it is not due to Windows 7. Many of us used it on Win7.

Quote from Fordman :

DOF ?

Depth of field, check your 2nd attachment

I'm really enjoying this new era of LFS. Scawen sharing new information almost daily and even Eric is here having fun with us.

Keep up this trend and I'm sure LFS will reappear at the top of simracing newssites

Back when the G27 came out, Scawen contacted Logitech and they told him to go figure by himself how the LEDs worked. He told us that the SDK was awful and he didn't wanted to lose time decyphering it.

I guess that is still his opinion, mainly because having Fanaleds installed help a lot in many games so native support is not that important.

Maybe if someone provided him with the source code required to make them work he would put it into the game without hesitation, but I wouldn't expect him bodering with it other way.

Awesome post. Learned a bunch of things and it was not boring at all (despite looking otherwise xD)

I did a test with the red/cyan glasses, it's cool. VERY cool, but now the color of the walls in my house looks funny

Tomorrow I'll do another test, it is worth a headache hahaha

Did a quick test with same settings and replay, and the new patch increases about 10 fps. From 40~50 to 50~60, so it looks like a solid 20~25% improvement on my aging computer

Install the drivers and set it up like this this

The Scirocco will be a S1 car, while Rockinham is an S3 track. No new content for demo as far as we know is planned.

My unnofficial diagnostic is "unplugging the power cord fixed it". For now I don't have any overclodk, though the D-day it failed after disabling it, so... I can only think about the power being cut for the night.

Quote from cargame.nl :

Due to overheating and cooling contacts to the board get affected. First signs are temporarily fails, the end result will be a permanent failure. See it as a warning to get your savings in order.

I got worried on February by some artifacts, but I found that it was caused by too much overclock to VRAM speed, just had to decrease it a bit. I agree with your advice, I have already checked some new parts in case of a breakdown.

Quote from cargame.nl :

This is what you get with overclocking by the way, more heat and a shortened lifespan. But I'm sure I am not the first one who says this to you.

Yup, you are right, but that is exactly what I intend. I don't need a computer that last 10 years being crappy, so after 3 years (when it can't quite keep up with new games) I started to do some OC. At first it was not that hard, but as time passes I don't have that much problem exchanging lifespam for performance.

I think I know the risk/benefits of OC'ing, but I could be wrong.

Cleaning done the trick then?

Didn't change anything :S I just hibernated it, and the next day everything worked fine
