Awesome !!!!

More precisely, there's a sort of playlist, which you can add your personnal files that you need to convert to OGG format. If I'm ok, you have to place your files in "LFS\data\ogg\" folder.

Pathetic... Taken December 2010's report, added 3 words here, deleted 2 words there and here you are, December 2011's report... I find that just a bit easy.

I couldn't agree more with anything that with shashdev's post.


I used to be a fervent defender of LFS. But now, I feel just bored.

ScaViEr, why don't you simply say that you've lost motivation in your work ? I'm sure everyone would appreciate some honesty from you. If you're not in the case I mentioned, just prove us the opposite.

Sad end of story of a dying game that have been the best Racing Simulator in the world...

Joyeux anniversaire !
Happy Birthday !

Here's why we'll never have the S3 and the Scirocco :

Now that he's dead...

Quote from E.Reiljans :

1. They will, just give them 20-50 years.
2. No, not really. LiFePO4 (best battery type for cars) batteries last 10+ years. Check site of A123Systems, they have some really promising technologies, compared to classic Li-Ion / NiMH elements :P

So, ok for the batteries (but well, aren't they expensive, polluting, and the weight is still a problem, isn't it ?).

You know, there's other "green" technologies than electric engines... (Hydrogen combustion engines by example, like the BMW Hydrogen 7. Just rejects some water vapor, nothing polluting)...

Well, E.Reiljans, one of the good things in a simulator is that it is not real. So there's no pollution, no real petrol, etc. So why put an electric motor, that will never replace petrol engines even in real life, in LFS ? Even put a Diesel engine in LFS has more sense !

Plus you say that electric cars are green ? I'm sure batteries are way more polluting to made and to recycle (not recyclable I guess) than running petrol engines, and I don't talk about Nuclear energy for made the electricity... Plus electric cars aren't that economic, you have to put 7 000€ every five years in new batteries...

P.S : I've just seen weight of the new Electric Raceabout : 1700kg and chassis is made with carbon fiber. '05 Raceabout's weight was 795kg and made with aluminium, much cheaper and heavier than carbon fiber...

Quote from Kristi :

That's probably the reason why 24h LeMans was won by diesels several times.

No, it's because petrol engines are way more restricted than diesel engines at 24h du Mans... So of course, they won...

Quote from rockclan :

The problem is, you actually can do that, but we can't.

Lol, surely true

Quote from djf3n1x :

I was wondering, if it was possible to make it, and if so, if someone would be kind enough to make it for me

Well, when you know how hard it is to make a cruise control (Cruise Control and the program you want have both to manage your wheel's axis), you don't even think to this. Programing a such thing would be difficult.

Quote from djf3n1x :

I understand that with LFSTweak it is possible to get the engine of the car close to its real counterpart. However, I meant that I was wondering how to replicate the noise of the VTEC crossover http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLg03GLPxs8 (note 0:26 to 0:29). the closest I got to replicating this noise was by running the car at about 85% throttle, up to 6k RPM, then after the engine passes 6k, the sound of the engine going from 85% to 100% throttle sounds close to the Vtec crossover. That's why I was wondering if there was a program to limit the amount of throttle input up to a certain RPM, and if not, if someone could make that program.

Tweaking can help to make an engine to sounds closer to the real one.

For the sound, search on Gills Sound Workshop (http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=44432) an engine sound similar to the one you're searching. You also can make a request on that thread (Gills' one).

For the throttle thing, I don't think a such program exists. Maybe try to add some intake restriction to your car ?

LFSTweak allows you to change rev-limit, but only on some cars (XFG, XRG, and FBM). On these cars, you can also change tires and rims dimensions, add a turbo, define its pressure, change displacement of the engine (on all cars), change idle (on all cars, and works online on all servers), number of gears (on all cars and works on all servers too)...

It is very easy to get an engine/car very close to the real one, you just have to be patient, adjust power, torque...

I don't really understand what you mean by adjusting throttle ?


Well you don't have to know anything about programing to use it.

Quote from branney :

this looks very interesting. i only recently started driving an automatic in real life. however, i loaded LFS and it auto-updated to 0.6B before i could try mod. do i have to wait for new version of AT mod? it keeps saying "LFS not loaded or car not on track" and i changed mode to 2 and port to 11111

The current version (5.6b) works on 0.6B. When you get the message "LFS not loaded or car not on track", it mean that you have to go on track first, then load the program. Plus I'm not very sure of the ports thing... Take a look in the readme file if you haven't done it

But well, don't wait for a newer version, I think that Tigerboyz is out of this project now...

You should try to change your Mipmap settings in the Catalyst Control Center. I've had a similar problem, and it has been solved by changing Mipmap to "High Quality" in my Radeon HD4650's Catalyst Control Center.

Quote from Bose321 :

I see a hood scoop and 3d lights or am I blind?

You're right.

Quote from kimd41 :

Are you guys sure he is a beta tester? I know he's a great modder, the VOB is easy to replicate, and the rims can be changed in old versions of LFS which is graphically identical. Being a beta tester and a modder doesn't quite fit.

Not graphically identical. Since Z19 "Road car dashboards updated to use dashboard light symbols" and here you see them so it was possible to change rims on Patch V or something like that I don't know...

Quote from rockclan :

Photoshopped from LFS Viewer.

And so what about the interior and stop lights ? You can see in YouTube videos that the VOB mod hasn't got that interior and has got different stop lights.

Hi,

Recently, with the "blast from the past" S1 H7, I saw how the driving feeling is different between this old S1 and S2 Z28, mostly better in the new S2. But I found the engine's simulation -excepting the non-managing of the engine stall- more realistic (less inertia) and sounds of the cars, even they're not customizable, more realistic...


However, the things that really arested me are road noises. In S2, we can hardly hear the road noises (tyres rolling on the road), so in S1 we hear them clearly.

So I think a come back of those noises in LFS could be nice.

Happy New Year racers ! :drink:

Thank you Scawen for your Progress Report - good to hear

I wish you a Merry Christmas and an Happy New Year !

Yeah, thats what I am trying to do.
Can 14 years old get that rechargeable card? Where can I get one?

Ask a bank

A friend have a similar problem : he gets power loss after some laps with RB4, without overheat clutch or run over the redline

Quote from DavidTiger :

Changed the line:

Label1.Text = "Car Speed: " & goingspeed

to

Label1.Text = "Car Speed: " & goingspeed.ToString

Which would obvioulsy convert the goingspeed variable to a string before showing on label... Maybe fix the error that somepeople happen to have although there are NO double variable types in the Whole program

Download Updated at 1st post!

DAMNED ! I still got that error !:sadbanana
