Ah ok - so just download the current demo version and then unlock it?

I thought the game would auto-update...?

Screenshot as requested;

Hi all - I've upgraded to the S3 licence and launched LFS. I locked back to demo version and then unlocked but I've still only got the S2 licence. How do I activate S3 please?

I'm doing a Book a Track Caterham Hire soon and I want to get some practice in

Its not a question of being lazy, thanks for suggesting I'm lazy though, I do appreciate a public slagging.
Its more a matter that switching between modes 1) messes up my desktop icons, 2) horizontal span doesn't work with the software I use for work purposes.

I understand it is more a graphics card/driver/windows issue however I was interested in asking if there was a known way around this and if so could it be written in. However it seems that people may be put off asking questions and making suggestions to improve LFS when shot down in flames by the likes of you.

Hi - I posted here; http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1297489#post1297489 about an issue I was having with multi monitor setup.

I wondered if it might be considered to add more monitor / desktop modes (if possible?)

Ah I see. I think I'll leave it then because that will mess up the other software I use.
Nice try though. Pity it isn't flexible.

(edit) - I just tried it, indeed my setup with the likes of Adobe Lightroom etc. are messed up with the Horizontal Span and its a pain to get back. So I'll stick to one monitor with LFS. Perhaps the devs might consider adding more modes.

In fact the MOST annoying thing when changing modes is that all my icons get messed up and slung over to the left hand side of the screen. AAARRGHH!!!!!! :scared:

Just trying the new patch with multi monitor setup. I have my display set to "Dual View" which means I get my desktop extended to the left onto another monitor.

I'm using Full Screen in LFS. I switched on the option to use 2 monitors in LFS' options but my main display just showed a distorted image (like squashed onto the one monitor). So I switched to Windowed display (ALT-F4) and stretched it between the two. Immediately I got a crash to desktop.

My graphics card is an nVidia 8800GTS, driver 191.07 WHQL under WinXP Pro SP3.

Any ideas how I get it working in LFS?

Who's DK?

I had a WOW! moment last night, been playing GTA-IV on the PC for just over a week. Last night was the first time I got a helicopter - like I say, WOW!!!!

Why reduce the LOD? Does it look better lower?

Thats a great help, thanks.

Yeh I cringed when I read that. Claims like that make my blood boil. But if the pedal feels better thats all that matters to me - no point trying to justify it with false claims.

Reminds me of the "resistor" selling on eBay that gives your car 20bhp.

Anyone know what this mod is being sold on eBay?
I'm all for making the brake pedal better, just want something that will work (and I don't mind paying for something that works!).

Quote from horrgakx :

I'm still not sure about the relationship between the settings for degrees of rotation in the Logitech Control Panel and those of the LFS slider.

Anyone know if I should set the Logitech control panel AND LFS to the same lock value?

I'm still not sure about the relationship between the settings for degrees of rotation in the Logitech Control Panel and those of the LFS slider. Add to that the compensation value and ... well my G25 just gets left as it is.

I've not noticed any difference in changing the settings. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Maybe someone could explain what the relationships between them all are? Maybe I should get me coat

Well waddyaknow - S2 wasn't unlocked Erm, slightly blushing here, but sorted now as I unlocked it and the cars are being displayed. Thanks all

The drive LFS was installed to isn't the boot drive. Its a seperate SATA drive where I keep all my data, pics, apps, etc.

But WinXP has been reinstalled to the boot drive yes.

Have to admit NOT reinstalling LFS. I'd have thought it would just 'work' from the install dir.

If I reinstall, is there any way to backup all my preferences, settings, etc...?

Hi all - my PC has a new motherboard, RAM and CPU. My graphics card is still the 8800GTS which I've been using fine.

Anyway, I tried a replay to see what the speed was like but I got this error (below). Any ideas please?

I happened to see the new Scirocco at a VW dealer yesterday. Must say I quite like it. The front is very agressive and I love the rear haunches.

Looks like you had a good time.
But people in their own race suits? Its bad enough seeing people decked out in racing gear a trackdays...

With O2 ... you mean as in wireless 3G connection?

Ok, Tracert (TraceRoute) is a command that shows you the route taken by your data to reach a particular desination. It tells you every step of the route and how long it takes. You need to run from a command prompt (DOS box) by going Start > Run and typing "cmd" (this is XP, unsure about Vista?).

Anyway, thats what it is, but how to apply it to LFS? ... luckily Victor has posted a very good guide on this problem.

View it here; http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=29454

Hope this helps guys.

Not a joke, false What have you seen that is better?

GTR2 has wet weather and it is implimented very well. I remember a wet race at Spa Francorchamps in GTR2 and after a while a dry line appeared. I was like WTF this is awesome!
