See there, an easteregg :) [Update]
I just "found" this at the weekend, so I wanted to show

Download and put the files into the LFS folder. Then start LFS and watch.
Do NOT put these files into the Windows system directory!!!

Very nice
#3 - Mc21
Crashes LFS like 5 seconds after I open it.
Looks good
Looks nice How are you going to progress from here? Open source? Embedded in another program or some interface to connect to the dll from any other application? Customizable using textures or more the vector type of drawings as it is now?
anyone got the origional files?
Quote from anbiddulph :anyone got the origional files?

If you've finished with it just delete those files.
Cool.... now can you tell us what it is, k thx.
I only just realised that by 'easteregg' you don't mean something hidden within LFS which you have discovered, but instead some kind of addon that you have made yourself.

I don't have LFS on this laptop, so I can't test it. It does look interesting though if it's what I think it is .
Also tried it but it gives me also an error in like 3/5 secs
Works for me. Working now as I type..
Very cool. I would love the source too or some pointers to get started myself to do these things (connect to D3D8.dll). Now the only thing you have to do is connect to InSim and make the stats real.
It shows it for 5-8 seconds and crashz0rz my pc. However nice idea, and would be cool if it was real data
really nice proof of concept indeed!

Now if the "common DLL" thingy is finished, you have something nice to work on
Dude, you eff'ing rock! Here's a PSD file, and gif files you could use. The colors are correct for the FOM overlays.

I have updated the attachment in the first post, and hopefully the crashes as told by different people are gone.

@Stuff: look at mikoweb.eu, there is a tutorial and some source to start with. Also look for the Drift Gauge and G-Meter, Racer_S2 has uploaded the sources for his tool too.

@Dygear: what are FOM overlays?

Very nice proof-of-concept. What's next step?

Sören

I think he means the TV graphics on F1 that are put on to the world feed.
FOM stands for Formula One Management ... they are the ones responsible Formula 1 for the world feed graphics.
I DONT get the crash anymore ....
its great, i hope to see more of it in the future! besides... the example names are great :clapclap:
i get crashes

after 20 sec. of a replay my system completely locks up (sound and screen) and i can't switch to windows or whatever anymore. even no chance to bring up task-manager to shut down lfs.exe prozess. the only help is (almost like having a Mac again) turning off the whole machine and do a complete restart :/
i still have no idea what it is.
can somebody please explain it?!
Test it...
It´s an overlay wich shows the results (times) while racing like you know it from F1 in television.
It´s currently only a demo with no real names.
very very interesting indeed ¬!
