People should try this mod. It drives like a dream - if you have a stable right foot

One question I have is regarding the engine sound, it sounds a bit like a hybrid between an American V10 and an European V10, more "biased" to the latter. Is it possible to create an engine sound that's closer related to the real life counterpart?

Besides this small "issue", I really like this mod! One of my favourite mods to drive, that's for sure.

Quote from Scawen :

You add a texture page to the main object (not a subobject).

Click in the "type" column where it says "fixed" and select "dashboard backing"

Now you should see that texture on your dashboard when you visit the dashboard editor in vehicle editor "Textures" section.

Quote from Flame CZE :

1. Save the backing texture as a square PNG file in data/png.
   
2. Open the Modeller.
   
3. In "subob" mode, make sure you have the main object selected.
   
4. Go to the page mode by clicking the page button or pressing 7.
   
5. Click add new page and load the backing texture.
   
6. Click the fixed button to mark it as "dash".
   

Thank you!

I'm trying to add a custom gauge texture to a mod of mine, but I can't figure out how to do it. Can anyone teach me how to? (image attached as an example - Rubie's SILLY-15 MEI mod)

Regards

Quote from turbofan :

I fully agree that.
Scawen presented facts, TC guys answered with nonsense and denying and they needed 5 pages to recover a little bit of reason, but they still dont admit explicitely that the problem mainly spawns from their server, while pushing forward that they saved LFS for the last 2 decades.
Hum...

You mentioning removing sirens isn't nonsense? Some people would say it's the statement that makes the least sense in this entire thread.

Also they "needed 5 pages to recover a little bit of reason" because they do know how to build proper arguments, and, by your behaviour in this thread, I am surprised at the fact that you, apparently, read it all. The TC members that have presented their views have also stated facts, by the way.

Also, the problem doesn't exactly spawn from their server, it's the people who are actually renting accounts.

Quote from Viperakecske :

Keep it hacker related maybe you all

Sounds like a plan.

Who would want a rally version of this mod?

Amazing mod!

Quote from TheSevenOfClubs :

Seems like I found an "interesting" fix... I say "seems like" because I haven't tested it for long periods of time yet. Which is to use a lower resolution (anything lower than native). It increases my FPS by quite a while (but I tend to use V-Sync anyways. And no - turning on/off V-Sync didn't actually fix the issue I've been having), and I notice the gameplay to be smoother, for w/e reason. I'll try it for at least 30-45 minutes to notice if the game starts freezing my entire OS or not.

It kinda worked...? Still had a few moments where the game froze for a bit under 1 second... but it's still very annoying.

Quote from Grechin :

i mean, they made 2 wheelers and 3 wheelers, so 6 and 8 wheelers should be easy

But the options to create a 2-wheeled vehicle (bike, bicycle) and a 3-wheeled vehicle (whether the single wheel should be in front [Trike] or in the back [Three Wheeler]) already exist.

Quote from rane_nbg :

It's good that you were able to narrow down under what conditions the freezing occurs. Yeah, really hard to say why it happens, I can't say if this is a software or a hardware problem.

I experienced a similar problem on a very very expensive HP laptop workstation that my wife uses for her work. It just kept randomly freezing, even up to 20 times per day in the middle of normal work. It did help for a while to disable all run-time power-saving options for SSD in bios, but it again started occasionally freezing which is a real bummer. She had to return it because it was unusable for anything, HP support was useless and this is a serious flaw in the low-level hardware-software design. I hope, it's not the case with your laptop.

I've had this laptop for over 6 years now, it's a Lenovo ideapad 700-15ISK, and it's a decent laptop for all my needs, I don't really need anything more powerful. Until like 2-3 months ago where this problem has started occuring for me. I'd say that this is more of a hardware issue rather than a software issue, to be honest. I could save money to get a new laptop, but I do plan on being a trucker next year, so I'd rather actually save my money for important things; should the need for something important ever arise; and actually get a laptop that's more focused on praticality and productiveness.

Quote from rane_nbg :

If your entire pc freezes, that sounds like some idle state issue with a disk drive, that it's not able to wake from once it activates. Not sure how to fix it, try to look for some power-saving options for HDD in bios and disable it.

The game is installed in my SSD. And I've disabled those power-saving options already. And now the issue isn't happening in UG1 anymore, only if I start streaming the gameplay of the game on Discord.

Quote from juliao :

o poblema pode estar relacionado com sua placa grafica .proceesador influencia muito durante esses anos de live for speed tive uma maquina fraca e uma internet ruin que influencia muito no jogo o vilao tanbem pode ser o wi fi que por vez outra pessoa utilizando causa um lag horrivel eu no seu lugar compraria um nootgamer atual um pc porque como vc sabe o lfs esta sendo atualizado e ficando pesado para pc e nootbook antigo eu tive esse problema troquei de pc para um moderno e uma net mais rapida de e fibra otica e agora consigo correr de boa

As minhas specs não são más para um jogo destes, consigo rodar o jogo a 100+ fps com gráficos em médio e a resolução nativa (1080p). Mas o meu portátil começa a travar em momentos aleatórios...

It might be a hardware issue... since it started happening on other games. But the thing is... it's happening on *old* games, been having the same issue on UG1.

Update: created the folder and I see files being created there, so it's safe to suppose that the custom camera settings are being saved in that folder. Thank you!

Recently LFS has been freezing in such a way that it makes my ENTIRE laptop freeze. There's no "certain" time where this happens, it might happen 5 minutes after I join a MP server or 30 minutes after. I've had this happen once, but I defrag'd both my drives and it worked fine. Not this time, though. And for the record - LFS is the only game that this issue has been happening on. Any ideas why?

Quote from Racon :

Not had that happen to me, but the data for that is stored in LFS/data/views - maybe you could check that folder for something fishy?

That folder doesn't even exist to me. I'll create one named views and I'll see if this keeps happening or not.

Anyone...?

Hello, recently I've been having an annoying issue where the custom camera settings I use keep resetting if I spec/pit and then respawn, or if I spectate someone else while my car's on the track (using TAB, for example), and then if I switch back to my car, the camera is reset to the default values.

First image is the custom values that I use, second image was taken after I pitted and then rejoined the track shortly after. This is happening for every vehicle I drive ingame, mod or not.

Rubie's SILLY13, but tuned to over 300 bhp!

Note: I take no credit for the visuals of the mod, I asked Rubie (who made the original SILLY13) for permission to create this tuned version of the original mod, if you want screenshots of proof, let me know and I can arrange that. Also, massive thanks to [OD]Jardim for the help to contact Rubie.

Awesome mod. Could you make a skin that doesn't contain the "LT-Single Cam 12" strip on the side? Just to make it like the regular R32 GT-R.

I'm not a huge fan of the JZA80 irl, but damn that looks clean!

I won't forget about the props, of course! I was thinking of implementing it in the original mod, currently it has around 9k-11k polys, so I hope that it's possible to not go past the poly limit with the props.

Being a fan of the trilogy myself, why would I forget about them?

Hello everyone,

Currently I am making a mod of the DMC-12, made famous by the "Back to The Future" trilogy. Currenly it still has a long way to go, at the time of posting I am trying to get the specs just right, engine power and torque, tire size, weight, gears (and their specific ratios; this mod will have the 5-speed manual default option in the real car), etc.

Here's some screenshots of the current (yet somewhat small) progress:

Any questions? Feel free to post them down.
