Great Kevin... glad you didn't fly to far from nest and could find your way back quickly

Server: CTRA - Race 3
Car: FZR-GT2 (restricted)
After the last corner of final lap I got the following message:


No crash or anything, just disconnected from server

Are you native spanish speaker?

EDIT: File up to date.

Yes, Spanish is my mother tongue. They are almost ready, where should I send them? Will finish them by Friday night (the 29th) EDT.
EDIT: Apologies, taking longer than expected. Did overwrite the translated copy, while moving files. I was using the same filename for both source and target (but different directories); hope getting them again after the looong weekend

Hi everyone,
i need some native speaker in following languages:
German
Spanish
French

You can download the language files here:
lfssdb.com/data/downloads/LFSSDB%20Translation.zip

Translate them intently.
Help us, start to translate;-)

I may do the Spanish one, is it still available?

Quote from nelson_trujillo :

after installing (admin rights) while trying to run it (with a restricted user), shows a popup window saying Error 75 and aborts; can't create the options.ini file

Can't create options.ini if run the first time with restricted account
ver 3.1.1.
So, run it with admin account and it will be created with no problem

Quote from flinty72 :

Hi Bob, I am getting a problem window that says "incorrect vehicle data file version" when I try to run the updated version 3.1.1. I have to hit O.K 20 times before VHPA runs and states "Analysis not available while creating / editing a vehicle. I did select LFS mode in the installer.

Same here, it's not reading the VD3 files correctly. Could you please, publish the right ones for this version?

Quote from W1ldPort75 :

Ok here we go again . After testen everything there is to test , on a 6600gt 6800gt and 8800gtx i noticed that the problem is not our computers , the problem comes from LFS .

You mean same system with 3 different GCs? or 3 different systems?
I have an AMD 3000 and a different card, and I agree, I started to have the same, around the time when beta testing the Y. I overclocked the processor and the card and still it's there, just learnt to live with it... and it's not the skins downloading thing, because it happens when racing alone (online)

Quote from guzzi97 :

My "Friend" buy the S2-License with an stolen Credit-Card !!!

I don't think you can call that a "Friend".

Friend: Who will bail you out of jail.
Real Friend: The one sitting next to you (in jail), saying "That was cool man!!!"

When I started getting it, I tracked it down to be HDD related because it was at the same corner every lap (and offline too but not the same corner), kept defragmenting until drive died some time later. Got a new one and left a dedicated HDD for LFS... but I getting it again, not as bad as before but it's there...sooo, it's not HDD related as I was advicing others before.
Didn't think about the skin downlading process, in my case this could be, in yours, try speeding up the HDD (by defragmenting and increasing the virtual memory)

EDIT: just found out this, it maybe help us all: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=37803

Quote from Bob Smith :

Thanks for the report, I'll have a play.

Thank YOU for the tool!!!

Yes, it's the 3.1.0 with comp. mode enabled.
I'm using FZ50 GTR, so I open any setup, put both sliders for spring length to 0 (far left), save it; and when opening again it shows 5.1 cm in both. Will try reinstalling, let u know if fixed.
Thanks

Bob , I need your help with this one:
Yesterday I started to use the tool seriously, trying to fix a setup while on CTRA, after many races, not being able to, a team mate asked me why my car was THAT high, back to the pits, OMG yes, both sides 12.x cm (5 in.)!!!
Everytime the tool loads a set it defaults to around 5 in.
is there something in the settings?
Thanks.

Hi Bob,
Couldn't find if answered before or not.
after installing (admin rights) while trying to run it (with restricted user), shows a popup window saying Error 75 and aborts; tracing the cause it's because the program can't find/create the settings file (or the like)

going back to the admin user it runs, but back to the restricted user now runs, but changing preferences and trying to save them, shows the same popup window and aborts.
Giving the restricted user (or users using it) writing rights solves it

Bob, you know the code, you know what to do with this information

Nelson.

En la primera curva puedes entrar mordiendo el piano

how do you dare insinuate my madness is false

Spanish is my mother tongue, and I'm old enough to know several interpretations about the word "PIANO" and none of them is related to anything like a track/auto/driver, but maybe we (Spanish speakers) are seeing the birth of a new translation to "kerb". By the way the entity which dictates the rules about the Spanish Language (REAL ACADEMIA ESPAÑOLA) agrees with me:
http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/Srv ... TIPO_BUS=3&LEMA=piano
So, based on this, we can say for sure, Internet is full of information, real and BS!
So, DON'T believe what you find in the internet without judgment.

Quote from lerts :

in fact im even suspicious that the fastest set up makes the clock go slower leading me to races with the worst posible setup i mean how with more grip you go much slower

Of course, now I understand why inferno sets make me crash so often... so many using them at the same time, so the clock goes crazy and doesn't know which time update the first, and when is coming for me in order to update my world I'm just right before the apex and I don't have TIME to correct the overspeeding status ...

Quote from slothspeed :

hey guys and girls,

starting to get into lfs but i'm encountering some probs.

sometimes the screen jumps/freeze's

If you have a slow hard drive, your PC will be like that, more with low RAM. so, keep the HD defragmented, increase the XP virtual memory and make it "Custom size" (permanent).
Don't know your laptop, but most of them don't have gaming video cards, so like the previous post, check your FPS and modify your video setting to increase them (lower resolution, less details, etc)

I don't think it's a good idea doing it like that, because it's increasing the risk of going beyond the tire's grip.
I mean, when you floor it, you are putting X HP in the drivetrain, in this case, the wheels, when you release it, you are putting Y HP again in the wheels, but in the oposite direction, so you'll have two opportunities to screw the turn.
Yes, I know, the diferential settings help to decrease this, but, anyway, you can go beyond twice.

shut, not enough posts to be a mod and close this one!

while driving press F10, it will show you, besides car damage, the Clutch tTemperature, the more heat the less effective it gets, so, monitor that, and keep it cool. It's color coded, by the way

Quote from Scawen :

Setups use a new improved naming system and have their own folder, so as not to share it with colours.

Using the three letter prefix makes it very much more convenient for setup download systems which sometimes had trouble with car names with spaces in them.

There is no built in auto copy and rename from old folder to new, because old setups are now invalid (a little or a lot) due to the reduced engine redlines in all cars and increased base camber on some racing cars. However, there are several batch renamers linked from this forum, if you do want to keep all your old invalid setups.

Quote from mantis9 :

One thing I cant stop doing and have done since the start, is tilting my head to the side. No matter how hard I try, my head very slowly tilts over to the right and down slightly throughout the race.
By the end of the race Im looking at the screen from a very weird angle, then I realise and straighten up. Anyone else do that?

:ices_rofl, cannot believe it, I do the same, even last weekend I did realize while driving the XRT, I was holding the wheel with the right hand and the side of my desk (L-shape desk on a corner) with my left hand and my wife was almost breathless laughing when saw me driving that way. I don't do it anymore since then, well, I think so

I did wait offline for at least 2 h. and... the same, can't connect. either with the X31 to any LFS server (X10, X30, X31)

be sure the case fans are pulling air out, instead of pushing into the case
