Thanks everyone for replying.
Only one more thing, where can one find aprox. times of other classes?
Mostly I'm interested in AS7 GT3 class times. I love that track and I love throwing my car down through that "blind" chicane.

I've managed to get 2.02.07 time with XR3 there, although it was with full tank and only after like 10-15 laps. Is this on the good side, or is there much to improve?
GT2/GT3 setup "repositories"

Hi,

I know some sites with the setups, but they are all for default cars, but I haven't found any that would include setups for cars with added restrictions like:
FX2,FX3,FZ2,FZ3,XR2,XR3,.....
Do any sites like this exist?

Is it ok to download an XRR set for an XR3 car? What would need to be changed? Wing adjustment? Height? Susp.?

Thanks

Quote from DEVIL 007 :Because your CPU is not able to count all physics for full grid. I had AMD K8 which was running at 2.8Ghz which is much faster processor for LFS then your P4 at 3.2Ghz. LFS is not GPU bound but heavily CPU bound and P4 was never great for LFS.

Ok, but why does it not lag when I turn down graphics then?
I did a test yesterday.
I put AA up to 8 and I got 15-20FPS on a server with around 15-20 cars on the grid. On the next round I turned AA back down to 2 and I got 50-60FPS.
The amount of physics to process stayed the same.

I know P4 is not the best CPU around, but hell, I'm not going to use my quad laptop to play LFS.

Quote from bishtop :nice skin xfirestorm

Thank you!

And here is the skin file:
http://www.shrani.si/f/2h/sJ/t7ySFgY/xrrxfgreeny.jpg

I didn't want to upload it before, as it wasn't finished, the credits were missing.

Save it as XRR_XFGREENY.jpg as it's uploaded to lfsworld.net as such already.
I know the number plate doesn't have a number. I didn't want it to have it.
Please do not edit, except for the number. Thanks.

Take a look at this one:

Then yours. See the difference?

I'm not saying it's complete utter cr**, but there is room for improvement. Lot's of it.

Use the path tool, it should make things easier for you.
Make four points on the skin about where you want the line(or 3 points), but don't position them perfectly just yet, as you will move them around.
Between the dots, you should have lines. If you click the dot and drag it, you will move the dot(edge), but if you click the line, it should start bending.
When you're happy with the look of it, click on "Path to Selection" button in the toolbox, which will then select your path and you can fill it with color.
It takes time and practice tho.
If you don't want to do it you can search for some vinils on google, like this:
http://images.google.com/image ... +vinyl+vector&spell=1

And open it as layer on your skin.
To remove the white stuff from the vinyl(if it's not transparent) select all the white stuff and right click on the layer in layer window and click "Add alpha channel", once done, just press delete and white stuff should disappear and you should see the rest of your skin behind your new vinyl. Just rotate/position/resize it to fit your skin.

Quote from SJB :Create a shell script e.g. airio_starter.sh:
nohup mono Airio.exe >/dev/null & echo $! > airio.pid

then
chmod 777 airio_starter.sh

and
./airio_starter.sh


Thank you.
Instead of making it world readable it would perhaps be better to do chmod 750.

Hi,

is it possible to run Airio without graphics? Like the LFS dedicated server. I don't want to install X11 on my server just to run Airio.
If not, would anyone with a windoze host be so kind to host it for me?

ALMS.com will cover all races online? That's great.

But what about 24h of Le Mans, will this be viewable anywhere online? Last year I found Speed partial coverage online, partial was on TV, but we don't have Speed.

Well I am currently making a skin, but it's in 2096 :/
So I guess I'll just scale the bodykit down and hope I wont lose too much quality. If it will even come into effect as it is a black based skin. :S

There is one more thing that I don't understand about this turbo thingy generating less psi under no or little load.
The way I understand it, the engine produces exhaust which in turn drives the windmill on the "exhaust part" of the turbocharger, and the windmill of the "exhaust part" is connected to the windmill located in the "intake part" of the turbochargers and turns it as more exhaust fumes are moving through the exhaust headers, and "intake part" sucks in more air with the help of its windmill.
But then, why would it be more difficult to spin the windmills if there is no load on the wheels? Is the car using up less fuel and thus generating less exhaust if there is no load? Or what's the trick that I'm missing here?
I'm sorry for so many questions that might seem obvious to you, but I'm really confused about this whole turbo part. I know my way around the car to the length that I can change my own oil/brake pads/disks/etc, but this turbo thingy is just Chinese to me.

Quote from DEVIL 007 :The point is also that I do not expect LFS to get any 3D engine upgrade very soon so better textures are the best way to improve LFS in graphic are withouht impacting most of the players. Even something like 7600GS could output hundred of frames with 4x AA or even more. LFS use vertex shaders to very low ammount and does not use pixel shaders at all. If you would knew something more about LFS you would not use those points.

My P4 3.0GHz with 220GT 512 GDDR2 struggles with full grid on AS3 online, not AI. At start I get FPS drop to around 20-25, until the track clears a bit or gaps between cars become larger. And this is on 1280x1024 resolution full graphics settings and only 2x AA. So I'm all ears on getting it spitting "hundred of frames with 4x AA".

I know a thing or two about LFS, so I might have just miss-understood your thread, and therefor I believe my points are in place.

For future reference, if you can't find a package of wine that works without X11 for your distribution, you can re-compile wine with --without-opengl and --without-x options passed to ./configure

More detailed:
download tar.gz or tar.bz2 file from http://winehq.org

Unpack it with:
tar xvf wine-*.tar.gz (replace the file with the file you've downloaded)
cd into the dir that you have unpacked that tarball and run configure with above options:
./configure --without-opengl --without-x
When configure finishes run make with, yes simple:
make
When build finishes(go grab a beer or two):
run:
make install AS ROOT!!!!

Quote from Jsm :You have to admit it would be one hell of game if they listened to every single post on this forum.

Someone in the thread "what cars you'd like in LFS" or something like that recently posted a pedaled car. Fun fun fun.
Most of the suggestions are good/great, but not all, so including all would be really bad.

Change your configuration file as described above and restart your server.(not the OS, just the dedicated-server application)
To log in as admin you have to use the password when connecting to the server, just like if your server would be private.
If you type /admin=password in game when logged in as admin, you will only change the admin password.

You want to enable IP Routing only if you want your machine to act as the router for your network, and as you already have it, you don't want that.

I doubt that 10.43.24.65 is your gateway/router IP. Try:
10.43.24.1
xfirestorm

Never came across a router that would be running such IP by default. Or have you changed it? Can you look on that "box" what it says on it? What kind of a router it is etc?
xfirestorm
S2 licensed
It can't bind to the assigned port. Another application is already using the assigned port.
Router does the routing. How are you then going to forward ports with your computer?
What does the gateway IP look like?
Something like:
192.168.1.1
192.168.0.1
192.168.2.1
? Or something similar?

Yes they can.

Atlhough not much more but that is just M$ policy to not allow you to do more.

Why am I going there, well it seems alot of people think that 64bit OSes are good only for systems with 4GB or more memory.

It doesn't seem "bad" from this angle, but if you look carefully at the rear fender, where the skin wraps from side to top to side and to top again, the lines aren't aligned good. I remember back then I've done something with the settings that the skins looked more blurry and when I was making it, it was aligned,then when I fixed those fuxed up settings the lines just got messed up.
I also made a mistake when saving that I didn't save an .xcf copy of it and then didn't bother anymore to fix it, so I just scratched that skin. I know the colors aren't right either.

I think Iv'e got the hang of the stretching now. I've downloaded the XRR template from master skinerz, converted it to xcf(image magic, export all layers, and assemble them again in GIMP) and begun on a new skin. I'm really taking my time with this one, and so far I must say it looks good, at least in my eyes. I'll have to come home and see it again after sleeping it over to see if I'll still like it.

I didn't have any inspiration on what to do, so I just started drawing some lines on the car, and pop, inspiration came up, now I'm working on from there

Since when does the amount of GRAM determine the overall performance of the gfx card?
Where is the GRAM frequency? GPU frequency? For starters.
Then you have, pixel/vertex shader versions etc.

Don't turn LFS into another NFS/CoD/etc serries, where each year you get better graphics(HELL YEAH!), the same old story(MEH, BETTER GRAPHICS!), maybe just slightly altered story with some new stuff that are fun for a few minutes(STILL, BETTER GRAPHICS!).
The graphics look good enough and with lower textures etc. you have more potential players. Not everyone of us have the money to buy 500core cpus with 10 gfx cards in sli mode you know.(A little bit of sarcasm there)

As for the wanting for LFS gfx improvements over use of multi-cores. Is your gfx going to do the simulation computations when you're on a full grid instead of the other cores that are doing "nothing" when you are playing LFS?

Instead of better graphics and new content I'd much rather see some improvements to the sim, like water/oil temperature, brake wear and brake temperature etc.

Quote from DEVIL 007 :Also I am not sure why you run 64bit system on just 2GB of ram. Useless in my view unless you have some special reason to run 64bit code.

64-bit register on CPU, so the remaining 32-bits of each register address doesn't go to waste? (it doesn't do much improvement, but still)
And you can run 32-bit systems with many RAM as you want(well not on Windoze, least not XP, but in theory and other OSs you can), if you are willing to sacrifice a few MB of memory to PAE.

How is it possible to connect 4 times in a row without disconnecting? Or does the log not show disconnections?
If for every new connection like this a SYN packet is sent to the server, that would be some sort of a "brute-force", kinda, sorta. What one could do with this is block a host/IP that tries to send the SYN packet to the LFS server port like 2 times in a second(Or maybe play around with these times and amounts).
Don't know if and how this can be done under Windoze tho(iptables FTW)
