I don't have wheel, but I can control the car in "wheel / joystick" mode with axis with the mouse.

Question is. How should I setup the vjoy thing so it can be compatible with the PSC and gearbox

Hey,

Well the problem with the gearbox is that it is dependent on the amount of acceleration you put in. So you have to use an acceleration axis and not buttons. So it probably won't work with combined axis for throttle and brake. If you do so, it should work:
1. Install vjoy
2. Adjust your controls.txt to match the lfs settings
3. Set gearbox to sequential
4. Activate automatic clutch in lfs settings
5. Activate autogearbox in menu

Then everything should work. You don't really have to set anything up with vjoy. Just put the axis that are displayed in lfs in the right place in the controls.txt file and you should be fine.

I hope that helps. If you need more help, just reply here.

Hey, I'm getting an error when starting your program -

Well. I am not exactly sure what caused that - as I am not sitting on your PC lol.

It means that one program is already using the socket address that the PACT Driving Assist is trying to use. Typically, other insim programs can cause that, or if you already have an instance of the PDA running.

It is also possible, that this port (30000) is blocked by your Firewall or some third party program on your pc .

I hope that helps .

FYI: PDC Update finished, I'm now testing.
I'll add a range and fuel consumption and if I make it in time the additional settings for mouse drivers that use keyboard buttons to drive as requested.

Hey there,

finally managed to finish up the update.

The new parking sensors (PDC) are working now. They now understand other cars and your own vehicle better to provide more accurate distance to others (only working on supported cars).

There is also a fuel consumption/range viewer that can be turned on/off depending on whether you want to see that. Also, only works on supported cars (due to different fuel tank capacities on every car)

Some other bug fixes are included as well.

Download from here:

If you have any suggestions or find bugs, feel free to report them here. You can also wish for specific cars to be supported .

Best wishes
Robert

someone help me?

That's weird. Seems like your version of windows can't make the beep sound (which is usually included by default in windows).

I'll add that to the next version (handle the error when it occurs and just not make it beep, so that it doesn't crash at least).

Maybe I'll figure something else out for the beeping in the next days.

In the meantime, if you turn off the parking aid in the menu, you should be good to go.
Best regards

Aight. Noted and I'll look into it. When did that happen? Just when you launched the program?

Happends when i join [TC], and the user it makes me spec when i join has other car than base Cars

Uploading new version with several bugfixes now. As always, please tell me if u find more bugs haha.

Unfortunately I didnt implement everything from my todo list yet, but were getting there.

Download here:

Currently testing two new features:

PDC for all layout objects and smooth adaptive cruise control for wheel users.

Both will be part of the next beta update .

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

Can you make the PACT not working when we are alt-tab from LFS.exe?

Right now, when you have auto-hold on and alt-tab from LFS you get constantly spammed with SPACE ( or whatever the handbrake bind is )

Also the other thing. Can you make the Auto-hold and auto-start engine optional as well?

Thanks, waiting for the ACC and PDC update
