Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP - 32-BIT and 64-BIT SUPPORTED (Remember the 32-Bit and 64-Bit are seperate downloads though! )

----------------------------------------------------

How to make the G15 apps into manual switching instead of it automaticaly changing on your LCD screen

Follow the steps below:
1. On the right side of the taskbar (startbar) double click the icon that is circled in red in the picture.

(If you can't see the icon... Click on the "Start Button>Programs>Logitech>Logitech GamePanel Manager" as shown in this picture: )

2. Tick/enable the selections that I have circled with the red circle.


3. Close that window and you should be able to change to the program you want without it changing constaintly. (Done!!! )

Enjoy!!!

Quote from Liquid Li0n :works great on 64bit Windows 7 but can anyone help me with making a .bat file or a addition to the shortcut to boot up the Live For G15.exe together with the Lfs.exe /insim=29999" tool

I made something for you to do that... but it requires ALOT of configuring

Anyway... here it is...

Quote :LFS and LFG (Bat File)

Instructions:
1. (a) Put the file "LFS & LFG.lnk" (shortcut) on your desktop (or wherever you want).


2. (a) Copy the file "Bat File" into your lfs directory.


3. (a) Right-Click the "LFS & LFG.lnk" (shortcut) - from step 1 and click "Properties"
(b) Change the "Target" to where your lfs directory is and link it into the file
(that you copied in step 2) to the "LFS & LFG.bat" file (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File\LFS & LFG.bat")
Note: The "Target" box has to include the ""s in it.
(c) Click "Ok".


4. (a) Go to your lfs directory and then into the "Bat File" folder (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File")
(b) Right-Click the "Live For G15" shortcut and click "Properties"
(c) Change the "Target" to where your "Live For G15.exe" is... (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Live For Speed\Live For G15\Live for G15.exe")
Note: The "Target" box has to include the ""s in it.
(d) Click "Ok".


5. This is almost exactly the same as step 4, except for the Live For Speed exe (LFS.exe)...
(a) Go to your lfs directory and then into the "Bat File" folder (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File")
(b) Right-Click the "Live For Speed" shortcut and click "Properties"
(c) Change the "Target" to where your Live For Speed exe ("LFS.exe") is... (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Live For Speed\LFS.exe")
Note: The "Target" box has to include the ""s in it.
(d) Click "Ok".


6. (a) Go to your lfs directory and then into the "Bat File" folder (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File")
(b) Right-Click the "LFS & LFG.bat" and click "Properties"
(c) This is what it show by default:

start "Live For Speed" /D C: "Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File\Live For Speed.lnk"
start "Live For G15" /D C: "Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File\Live For G15.lnk"

Those are the commands to open Live For Speed and Live For G15 together.
The "C:" is the drive name, you only have to change this if your lfs directory is on another hard drive or partition besides C:\ - Most people shouldn't need to change this bit.
The "Program Files\Live For Speed\bat file\Live For Speed.lnk" and "Program Files\Live For Speed\bat file\Live For G15.lnk" are the parts which will need to be changed...

Change the ""Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File\Live For Speed.lnk"" part to ""<your lfs directory>\Bat File\Live For Speed.lnk"" - Do this without including
the "C:\" infront (just like the examples and default directories).

Correct way:
"Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File\Live For Speed.lnk"

Wrong Way:
"C:\Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File\Live For Speed.lnk"

(d) Do the same to the "start "Live For G15" /D C: "Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File\Live For G15.lnk"" part.

Change the ""Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File\Live For G15.lnk"" part to ""<your lfs directory>\Bat File\Live For G15.lnk""

(e) Save and Close.


7. (a) You should be now ready to use the file from Step 1!


It should now open Live For Speed and Live For G15 everytime you click on that shortcut!
Note: If this still doesn't work or you don't understand, just give up now :P

IMPORTANT: PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO UPDATE THE PATH TO YOUR LFS INSTALLATION IN THE FILE "configuration.txt"

Update 26.12.07: Camel running information is again indicated,

Additionally I added a nice feature, which to beginning of round the refueling quantity computed, which would have to be stopped with a box stop in this round, in order running to terminate (naturally only >0 will be, if the fuel amount in the car is not sufficient).

Update 29.12.07: Version 0.9

- Screen “LapTimes” added again
- Best round time (+Splits) as well as optimum round are stored and stand thus also after restart again for the order.
- Gauge indicates now the turbo to load printing (with cars with turbo)
- Small Workaround for problems with special characters in the player name

Update 29.12.07: Version 0.9.1

- Introduction round in Quali/Practice was rated as very fast round and overwrote the personal best lap

Update 29.12.07: Version 0.9.2

- Bugfixes

Update 29.12.07: Version 0.9.3 for 32-Bit

- Fixed for special characters in the player name
- Recommended fuel amount considers now that any more than 100 does not fit fuel into the tank,
- Case the tank to be only empty driven must, in order to terminate with only one tank stop a running, is now indicated, how many rounds still on these early / first pit stop possible tank stop be waited must.

Update 07.11.08: Version 0.9.3 for 64-Bit

- Updated Version 0.9.3 for 64-Bit support, because of a new "LgLcd.dll" found by KochFolie

lol, i already had to explain this in the german forum: GeForce (Kamel) is the creator of the application "Live for G15". I'm "just" the modder/updater.

Therefore: Better change the heading to "GeForce is the creator" ...

Also take a look at the G15 buddy watcher (if not already found): http://lfs.foren.4players.de/viewtopic.php?t=18758
I have used this one when I had more room on table. Unfortunately my external dashboard-project takes so much space that I had to dump G15 and use my old and trusty mini-keyboard (Much smaller than "normal sized" book).

The rest of this post is a little bit off-topic: I have planned to rip the screen off from G15 to attach it to my project (Laptimes-feature is just so overly great), any ideas how I can do it so it is possible to re-attach it back into G15 (If possible at all, I doubt it...)? I know that someone have done that, because I saw a picture where G15 screen was on external dashboard.

Well ... would be nice to provide some more details about the 64-bit compatibility issue. What does the logfile say? What exactly does the "error reporting thing" say?
