Remember that you need to set a GAMEpasword on your profile in www.lfs.net

That's the one that the game asks for when you try to unlock it.

You thief, that advice was meant to shimon. You owe me "one help" on the future

I think it may work if you toggle between compresed textures and full textures.

Quote from tristancliffe :Whilst Android arguable is more open, I find that just means everything is twice as complicated as it needs to be. And yet you can't REALLY do any more on an Android than on an iPhone in everyday terms. So I prefer the iphone simple because it's simpler, even though I am sort of a computer nerd, that's only because you have to be with Windows because it's so badly thought out.

That's not say Android has nothing good about it, but for me the pros of iOS outweigh the cons.

Keyboard and text prediction, maybe. In Android it is just a matter of seconds to have one that you like and don't lead to yor SMS/Whatsapp ending in websites making fun of the error it makes

Probably your graphic memory is full, and it starts to mess the textures.

Have you changed the settings or used a HiRes texture pack recently?



BTW, as LFS is a single threaded program, LFS can only use 3GHz.
Plus, you better say 3GHz x2 than 6GHz, because these things does really matter as you can see to know what your computer can do.

Quote from tsichles :I throw the dice and enter one more parameter to the discussion.

I thing that calculations sampling rate of 100 fragments per second may be not enough to approximate the behaviour of a car.
[...]

AFAIK current tire physics run at 20.000 Hz (the rest of the simulation runs at 1.000 Hz). It's quite an impresive figure with that low CPU usage. Scawen may be having a tough time achieving this again with the new model.

Quote from Matrixi :From what I've heard and read, the nausea actually mostly comes from the lag of turning your head and the delay of the rendered image changing, not the 3D effect in itself.

That's why the devs made this: https://www.oculusvr.com/pre-order/latency-tester/

Also I've seen people saying that the main problem was moving your body and the camera don't moving. You get so inmersed with the rotation and 3D that your brain gets quite confused when you move on your chair and the game stays on the same position.

Quote from Bose321 :Is there any indication on how much it will cost? Does it work when you have glasses on, or wouldn't you need them because it's so close to your eyes?

Iv'e been watching many videos lately. It has 3 lenses so people can use it without glasses on, but I've seen a lot of people using it with glasses without any problem (perfect 3D and confortable).

If people are so happy with the dev kit, I can only hope that the production one is gonna be at least as good as now.

Nope, not anymore since... Z28 I think.

Quote from shimon-ifraimov :
i really dont understand the devs somtimes , why do they think that releasing a car with no suspension\steering column and many many other things is acceptble ?
why not just do a propre job at the first time ?

You have to bear in mind that the cars are pretty much the same that got released on 2002/2003, in those days they had an acceptable level of detail. Nowadays they are totally outdated, nobody could argue that hehe

Quote from shimon-ifraimov : whats holding the wheels

Magic, the same that support the steering wheel on most cars

AFAIK, to check the aero you only can watch how it works in forces view (press F).

Your graphic card messed up the DDS textures. It's usually due to temperature. It could be also just a random error at the memory that won't repeat over the time.

Years of using it while playing LFS are enough to know how it works. If Norton's firewall block the conection LFS says that it was unable to reach master server.

Quote from CodeLyoko1 :https://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=83999

same problem, same norton anti virus. throw away norton and download avast. try again.

It is NOT Norton's fault. Why do people keep blaming something that has never caused that issue?

Quote from illstyles :Who said my Norton was free? :P I paid for my subscription like a jackass.

I've been using Norton for several years now and everything works fine. Except the other day that somehow the AV was closed and the firewall prevented every game from connecting to internet xD

I guess that people who critisize Norton haven't used it never. For me is a great software, with easy menus but keeping advanced functions.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :The exception being if you add AI drivers, it will report all drivers "owned" by you.

How does that work? How can you know what car are you on board knowing only the PLID if it reports several cars?

Quote from fl3nd3r :When you are in tv room the sound comes from one car.
Can anything be done?

No. CSR relays on OutGauge, and that only reports the info for the car you are currently viewing.

Quote from Be2K :This is error occures when you plug the Pedals in after u connected the Wheel with your PC .

Does anyone know something about a successor for the T500RS ?
Some Retailers dont get new T500RS's from Thrustmaster. The Rumor says its not manufacture anymore.

I guess you must wait until Xbox One is released, as the fisrt working prototype was 'shown' at E3 running Forza 5.

Nope, let's see if anyone offer to do it. I've never used Apple products hehe

The thing is that InSim has this packet that may allow it. But I don't know if it's 'bindable' this way.

struct IS_MST // MSg Type - send to LFS to type message or command
{
byte Size; // 68
byte Type; // ISP_MST
byte ReqI; // 0
byte Zero;

char Msg[64]; // last byte must be zero
};

The only way to use/change the horn is sending a keypress to LFS' window, and I guess that this can't be done throught another device not running Windows.

"LFS strobe" does exactly what you want, look for it in the forum

Quote from CodeLyoko1 :how come my cfg.txt has no car shine in it?

It must be broken somehow. You can delete it (after backing it up) to get a new one, and then compare them to see where that lines appears.

Quote from JackCY :
This is similar to driving in pits on full gas and hitting clutch. The engine refuses to rev up which is annoying, the speed limiter PREDICTS the needed gas to reach speed limit and cuts off the throttle in advance.
Again, seems LFS weird specific.

AFAIK in some categories the pit limiter is set to certain RPM and not to a speed measured in km/h, so...LFS would not be wrong on those cars.

You are not the first one and won't be the last one having that problem

LFS has so many "tricks" you only get to know when you have spent a lot of time playing and reading the forums hehe
