Hi all, I havent really played live speed online for years due to only using 3g for internet. Anyhow, I decided to treat myself and get a driving force gt, a new graphics card and a proper internet connection and get into LFS again.

I'm unsure whether any of the graphic mods(bloom etc.) work with 0.6j and what thebest graphic mods are?

Also, does anyone know if you can get a g25/27 shifter and clutch working on the driving force gt, I can't seem to find the answer on the internet. I know the brake and accelerator will work with a bit of modding but just can't find any info about the clutch or shifter, I'm quite happy to do some modding, not that I plan on doing this soon, just intrigued really.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to playing again so hopefully see you all on the track soon

The shifter plugs into the wheelbase, so not really possible.
There exist adapters to turn the shifter into stand-alone device with its own USB plug, then it works "with" any wheel. Same for pedals.

Cheers Inouva, I'll download it shortly.

Thanks for the advice Gutholz, I think I'll just get a separate shifter and pedals from elswhere. Im liking this http://www.shiftershh.es/en.html it's 3d printed and not too expensive. I should really have got a g27 but just don't have the funds. I managed to get the dfgt for £51 new which was pretty good.

Any idea when graphic overide 3.5 is finished or if there is something similar with directx 9 compatability?

One last question, lol, probably one for Scawen. Are there any plans for directx 10+ in the future? I'm just rather interested. I did search but couldn't find any info.

Sorry for all the questions!

Why would you need DX10 when not even 5% of DX9 capabilities are yet utilized?

Just wondering about furure plans really.

Current main goal is to get S3 out and rolling. Which probably still includes so many tasks, that even "S3" itself is quite some speculation and can turn out quite different to what their plans are right now.

Speculating beyond that is even less meaningless...

But I can!

In ideal world I would expect S3 to get fully dynamic weather + day time, in such case 3D engine revamp would make sense too (and that would be a right moment to consider DX12 / OGL / etc..). But it's a bit late for that party? (I don't think just S3 would cover yet another 5-10y development)

Just getting out tyre physics + content would probably do a wonders, then another few months to polish it further, then maybe say it's "finished", rename the project, revamp engine and old content, code some of those nice simulation things, and release it as a new game in development? With 3 development stages planned... wait, sounds to me familiar...
