Thanks, I've updated the links.

I've got it running but all the numbers are at 0. What scenarios does this companion works? I've tried offline and online(cruise) and all they show i 0.00. I did not do any lap offline, just stayed in the pits.

make sure you've got the outgauge port configured

Thanks, John, it's working correctly now
A few things needed to setup this automatically :

EDIT LFS\cfg.txt to -

OutGauge Mode 1
OutGauge Delay 1
OutGauge IP 127.0.0.1
OutGauge Port 30000
OutGauge ID 0

Create shortcut to LFS.exe

shortcut name - LFS_insim29999
shortcut location - [YourFolderStructure]\LFS\

Create shortcut to LFS Companion.exe

shortcut name - LFS_Companion
shortcut location - [YourFolderStructure]\LFS\

Edit LFS_insim29999 shortcut target properties to - [YourFolderStructure]\LFS.exe /insim=29999

Create a StartLFS.bat batch file in [YourFolderStructure]\LFS\ with:

start "" "[YourFolderStructure]\LFS\LFS_insim29999.lnk"
sleep 1
start "" "[YourFolderStructure]\LFS\LFS_Companion.lnk"

Done, now you can start LFS and LFS companion, and you don't need to do the insim port manually.

To create a batch file:
-create new txt file
-edit name (make sure you have unticked "hide extensions for known files" in View->Options->View in windows)
-change name to StartLFS.bat
-right click StartLfs.bat, edit
-paste code above
-Save, CTRL-S
-Exit

I keep getting multiple errors while racing online.
I've edited the interface, disabled some modules.

When the error occurs, lfs jumps to desktop.

🤯 TOP great app 😍♥️

Very good man

This app got a lot better since I first tried it. Now it's a must have I'd say.

• Shift + U hides the UI, but it never comes back unless I do Shift + U again.
  
• The application crashes frequently, without any apparent reason. I'll try to note the next crash and type it here.
  
• When the app starts, it says "Permission denied, Password". Worth noting that for it to run properly, I run as Administrator.
  
• Strobe doesn't seem to work. It would be nice to have "TC Lights" functionality built into the same app.
  
• File -> Preferences does nothing for me.
  

My suggestion is that there needs to be clear distinction between own chat messages, others and tags.
Maybe adding a filter that lets us disable certain messages like connections and pits, a way of decluttering the window.
Right now it's hard to read the chat window because it doesn't even have any color distinctions.

Save previous chat log.
When the game is minimized, a sound notification that alerts when someone tags you in the chat or crashes into you (this would be helpful to prevent possible blockage of roads).

A minor suggestion is to improve the app's icon. Make it transparent and add some shadow if needed.


That's it for now. If I notice-come up with anything, I'll let you know.

I've been quite busy the last year. But I've noted all of your bugs and suggestion(s) in my Trello. Perhaps I'll get back to this app and make it stable enough so that it can be used without crashes. Thanks for letting me know!

I've re-designed various features, and changed the infrastructure of the application. I've had to strip out some features.
Most data is now saved in a local database.

There are some minor bugs i need to get to, but i figured i could release this one for others to use.

Hi, just wanted to say thanks for cosntantly updating and developing the app, great job!

One minor thing I was thinking about: could we have an RPM-widget that has both the colored bar (as in Modern) and the actual value (as in Classic) displayed as well?

Thank you Mandula, I appreciate that.

I've received that suggestion a few times before, I just never saw the value in having a label with the actual rpm value in addition to an rpm_meter. I can clearly see that it is wanted, so I'll get that done in the next update.

EDIT: I'm open to changes.

Nice addon, love it. Thanks!
