Quote from manolixsvouros :Hotlaps should be an in-game thing.

That is actually a good suggestion and quite obvious one in hindsight.

As minimum there could be a button: "Open online hotlap charts" to open the website in browser. Currently it is not obvious at all that an online leaderboard for hotlaps even exists.

I am not sure if makes sense to re-create all the functions and details of LFSworld ingame.

( In the same fashion: On the setup screen there could be a button to go to https://www.lfs.net/files/setups )

Quote from rane_nbg :This server is closed soon after a user who created it leaves.

Not 100% sure but I think the user who created the server can leave and server stays on.
The server closes when it has been empty for a while.

Does "10studio" actually mean "Turn 10 Studios"?
That is the developer of the Forza series. Looking

Is this related to https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/107935-WARNING%3A-BRCruise---City-Driving ?

I googled and find a user "razukvictor335" posting about Insim on brazilian crack forum.

What a deal. Ya right

How many hotlaps of the 18 ranked combos did you upload? Tilt

I think it is interesting to have a ranking that has been going for so long. Like an eternal highscore table. If it gets changed then old entries get dropped because they are now missing some combos. I do not even hotlap but it would be sad to lose such a long standing history.

Interesstingly, the log shows that each month 100 to 300 hotlaps get uploaded. Several WR and Top 10 times, too.
However, in the HL Ranks only 14 people have uploaded 18/18 of the ranked combos.
Some racers are missing only a few ranked combos but instead they rather upload dozen of other combos.
So the hotlap system gets actively used but people are maybe more interested in the Hotlap Charts, getting a WR or getting into Top 10 on certain tracks etc.

I wonder how many people even know about the Hotlap Rank?
In my opinion it is a bit hidden. Even if you find the tab, to learn what it is about you have to click another "Rank Info" text that does not even look like it is clickable.
It could be shown a bit more prominent.

If new combos get added, I suggest:
1) Rockingham with FBM (There are only two combos with formular cars and none at RO)
2) Blackwood Rallye with XFG (There is no rallye combo. Also it is usable in demo)

It would also be confusing when you read old posts and people are talking to usernames that are nowhere to be found.

Silly and badly chosen nicknames are part of the internet. Embrace it.
I know one old forum that was founded around a shooter game long time ago.
Many people have those typical gamer nicks because they registered as 14yo kids.
25 years later nobody cares the about the game anymore.
Now you see [K!llah]BigGunz or MasterSlayer666 post about what is the best lawn mower or discuss suits and ties. Tilt

Quote from DjAscona_ :Any chance of getting this one available again? Smile

LOD2 needs to be fixed, that is why it got unpublished by automatic system:

Among the things mentioned by others, better screenshots would be nice:
The pictures are 1920x1080 pixels but the actual car is shown quite small.

That is a published mod.
The logo is slightly different from the original Seat logo: It is missing the diagonal line.

In my opinion that is still too close to the original. Either it was an oversight or someone thought it was different enough.

A new mountainbike that is at least slightly useful for mountainbiking, will cost more than 300€. I would say it starts around 1000€.
If you only plan to ride in the city or unpaved dirt roads then any normal bike will work. Anything more wild will quickly destroy a 300€ MTB. (spokes and rims snap; brakes are too weak; heavy weight; cranks, seat post, handlebars or even frame can break)

Basically all brands sells bikes in all price and quality ranges.
There are 3 or 4 relevant producers of components and frames mostly come from a handful of factories too.
Cheap bikes tend to have lots of flashy features that appear impressive but none of it is good quality. For example cheap suspensions are heavy, develop play/wiggle and are non-serviceable. Adjusting cheap no-name brakes or shifting is frustrating.

With that budget I suggest to look at used bikes. You can get a nice mountainbike from 1980s to 2000s plus replacement parts for that price.
Certain models and brands are more sought after by collectors because they are considered "classics" so you would basically pay for the name.
Giant bikes are imo good quality but without the cult-factor that drives up the price. If you want to avoid fixing a bike yourself then some shops also sell fixed-up old bikes. In Germany there exists "bicycle flea markets" where people sell their bicycles and the organizers provide some experts that buyers can talk to. Maybe that exists in France too?

Quote from subUwU :(I am not aware if it is the devs, a system, or the author taking the mods down)

All three situations do happen.
In this case I believe it was this automatic check: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/106757
I think the authors do get a note about it so they can update/fix their mods.

Quote from Bandit77 :I thought it'd only pop out without any load, but it does instantly when pulling the stick into neutral position. That's kind of suboptimal programming, I have to say. IRL you'd have to pull like an ass to get it out of gear under load.

I thought about these situations too, when I first tried a stick shifter. There is no good way to program it because it is a hardware limitation: The shifter can not "hold" the stick in position like in a real car.
The alternative would be that virtual stick and real stick go out of sync.

Quote :...maybe with a direct usb connection if people want a cheap shifter to accompany some better wheels. Oh well, can't do anything about it to be fair Shrug

I do not like that either. Fanatec does the same thing, their shifter only works when connected to a wheel-base. Depending which wheel you use, you need the right adapter.

The Logitech shifter can be used stand-alone with a small Arduino project:


...or buy it as finished product:

This part sounds interesting:
Quote :Gear position sensors can be calibrated in our easy to use software.
Switching thresholds can be adjusted with our software and permanently stored inside the device.
Especially useful for shifters with old worn gaitors.

Why can Logitech not just include such option in their software? Maybe they are afraid of people using it wrong.

Also it seems many parts can be found as files for 3D printing.
For example this part for the switching lanes/gates that hold the stick in position:

I am not aware of any software to calibrate the shifter.
But here is a manual on how to open the G27 Shifter:
https://de.ifixit.com/Anleitung/Logitech+G27+Potentiometer+der+Schaltung+tauschen/42378
Check the potentiometer, whether is has become loose or dirty.
The text is german but there are many pictures. I think the G923 shifter is similar.

Shifting into neutral does not strictly require clutch.

The only maybe relevant tool I know of is Dxtweak.
It is popular for tweaking game controllers, setting deadzones etc. No idea if it is useful for this particular problem.

I think Track Editor is not planned anytime soon or at all.
There was a screenshot that showed the editor but with an explanation that it is only usable for internal use.

I do not remember any posts about dynamic weather or rain.
Day/Night cycle is planned but iirc no weather.

By my reading, LFS is currently developed in two separate versions.
One version with the big changes, and one version that we are currently playing. Both get developed in parallel.
Sometimes changes from the "new" version seem to bleed over into the "public" version, for example the moving subojects. (pop-up headlights etc) or changes to dust effect. However the big plan is to combine into one version.

That version includes changes like:
-new tire physics
-new graphics systems:
--less stutter, especially in VR, by better syncing physics and graphics updates at 1000Hz (or something like that)
--day/night, dynamic lights
-new objects (signs with editable letters, more chalk marks, curbs etc)


Other updates in progress are:
-overhaul existing tracks
-larger area for South City
-two new tracks (Airfield Racetrack & Testing Ground)
-higher resolution for analog input

Is that not simply a matter of setting brake/throttle to "seperate" instead of "combined"?

With the new animation system, is it possible to have the cardan shaft spin depending on engine RPM?
It is quite visible in that truck so might be a good experiment.
