Thanks for your help everyone. One happy kid last night (Finally went to bed at 02:30!!!!). Still no idea what he did. As some say above it was all cars and so I doubt it was the air intake.

Thanks for the quick reply Bob, but it's not the Pit lane limiter.

Neither is it the Clutch Dave.


The cars (all cars) behave like ther are operating with V high revs and almost no torque.

Both examples are on the Kyoto bowl.

1, Mini UF1000 - can slowly (30 seconds) get up to about 30 in ist; 40 in second, 50 in third and maybe 65 in 4th; this takes about 1 minute and about 1/2 a lap.
2, Formula V8 - slowly thru gears up to about 95

I will re-download _Z somewhere else and see what happens

Reload of _Z has fixed the "speed problem".

Can I copy over the skins I have simply?

I have the two versions of LFS on Seperate disks on my machine.

Y:/lfs/

and

Z:/lfs/

can I just copy the skins over?

BOTH versions are _Z, one is vanilla, one "broken"

Cheers again

Simon

Hi all,

My son (8 yeas old) has been playing LFS more than I have for a long time. He's been playing with something and now in all gears, all cars, we cannot get much speed up in all gears.

Get to max revs, but never get much above the speed you might expect in 1st or 2nd.

I've mucked around with gear ratios and final drive ratio and this does not help. I can only assume he has changed something else somewhere, but of course he cannot remember where!!!

Any ideas where he might have changed a global variable?

He's only 8, and not at all well (in lots of pain, and the only thing that helps is getting him distracted, it's midnight here and he is still awake, it's been like this for the last month) so I'd like to get this working again for him.

He is playing on the Wii at present, but if possible I'd like to fix LFS


Many, many thanks in advance

Simon
