I've managed to get a bit further by adding a line into the autoexec.lfs file. This file specifically says that it is run when LFS reaches the entry screen, and putting "/mp 192.168.1.197 63392" in it works, and automatically connects to my server.

However, I then need to invoke the /join and /ready commands manually. Putting those in the autoexec.lfs script runs them before the connect has occurred and shows up a couple of error messages.

Is there any console command that will wait a certain amount of time that could be inserted into the scripts?

Cheers,

Hi,

I am trying to automate a multiplayer LAN game. I'm using a local DCon server and it's configured fine. What I want to so is have a config file or command line options that I can use to start LFS.exe, so it automatically connects to the server and drops the player into the car.

I can do this using the following sequence of / commands, entered into the game after it starts:

/mp 192.168.1.197 63392
/join
/ready

I've tried creating a cfg.txt file that contains these commands and running LFS.exe /cfg=cfg.txt, but it doesn't like the /mp command as the first one. (Parameter 1 is invalid)

I've tried various combinations of commands in a file. Some almost work, like /join followed by /ip=192.168.1.197 but the connection screens says "Host not found on master server", since I presume it's attempting to find an internet connected server.

Can anyone offer any advice? I was hoping to avoid creating an insim wrapper that pipes these commands into the sim after it's started.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi.

Does anyone know if there's any way (using the InSim API, keypresses, or anything) to toggle a car between human and AI control? It's something that rFactor2 has (just press the I key while driving), and is very useful for testing purposes, when developing sim plugins and automation software.

Cheers,

Steve
