Awesome of you to do this. I got a little bit excited when I saw this post, went to check my mileage and turns out I've only driven 1502 miles...

Either way, congratulations to all who got their licenses.

I think it might be because Scawen ran out of letters in the Roman Alphabet.......

Yeah, that's probably it... good to feel excited about sim updates, though. Here's to hoping.

How come the patch name has changed? It went from .5ZXX to .6AXX

I see a digit advancement... Surely this doesn't mean...?

S3 could be coming soon? Scirocco? SYSTEM OVERLOAD.

New test patch! Hopefully more good things will be coming this year.

but is it better organized than the mexican drug cartel?

I lol'ed. I doubt anything is more organized than mexican crime...

With a 16:9 monitor @ 1920x1080 and a 16:10 monitor @ 1920x1200 the only gain is 120 vertical pixels.

16:9 monitors are widely accepted in the gaming world, and every day fewer manufacturers actually make 16:10 monitors. Since your horizontal viewing angle is exactly the same (1920 pixels wide for both aspect ratios) and the 16:10 monitors being slowly phased out, it is definitely not worth it.

Hope this helps.

PC drivers are out!

Anyone have one to try with LFS?

There's new info about the wheel! It'll be released 12/25 on EU and 1/5 on America.

Just an FYI for everyone, the wheel WILL feature a gated shifter, but it will be sold separately.

renorino, do you guys have a north american distributor?

How well does it work, if I may ask?

we wont...

Actually, a bunch of guys helped him already.

Thanks, Cal18slider and S14_Drift. And yes, I just might buy this game, I'm really into driving sims. So, I'm sorry that people like that dude from Canada can't see that all I'm trying to do is to get familiar with the software, exploring what I can and cannot do before I just take $50 out of my wallet and buy the license. So far I'm really liking this sim and considering buying it. I also like Cal18's avatar, but this is not the time nor place to discuss that.

Those real life gauges look sick! Sadly, I don't have the knowledge to do something like that. And that LFS Spectator looks neat, almost what I needed. From what I've found so far, the only alternative I have is to buy two licenses; race on one and spectate on the other. Not good on my pocket OR on the host server, since it'll take additional bandwidth as well as an extra racer spot on the server (It does look really cool though, do a search on Youtube).

OT: Just curious, but how could a dual monitor set-up have ruined your monitor, Cal18?

So now that the official drivers are out, are there any differences between using the official and the wingman drivers?

A S2 license is a great mod to have.

Hi. S2 is not a mod. Little FYI.

Thanks, senn. I had seen that software before, and it's kinda cool... I guess it's time for me to go buy a 3rd monitor. I'll try and do another search, but I didn't really find anything (Save for Virtual LFS Dashboard which is fantastic). I like using the cockpit view (I know, no visibility but I love it) and I'd love to have the far away rearview mirror on my 7" monitor, instead of having to "look left" (I have the game set to show the wheel on the right side).

I tried a search but I didn't find much.

I found the Virtual LFS dashboard which is a great application, but are there any more of them? Personally, (Assuming it's possible, of course) I'd love to see an add-on that let's you output the image of your rearview mirrors to an additional monitor (separate or combined on split screens). Or maybe an add-on that displays your tyre or suspension wear without having the standard windows all crumpled up limiting your view while racing.

So, are there any more add-ons like Virtual LFS dashboard that take advantage of multi-monitor set ups?

Thanks for the help, everyone! I just found out that the engine shuts off automatically if you go idle for a certain time, that's the reason why everything else worked but not the gas pedal. In the end it was something really stupid, but hey -- I just started playing, still trying to get used to this great sim before I take the $50 out of my wallet to buy S2. Thanks again!

The links in that Email wil not work for you it wil just send you straight to your own acount details

I'm not talking about the links, look at the guy's attached screenshot, it has his e-mail. He only blurred the quick links on his browser but not his e-mail address. I know those links take you to your own account details, but I sure as hell wouldn't want my e-mail address visible to everybody.

Funny how you blurred your quick links but not your e-mail address... Delete that screenshot as soon as possible, man.

Wow this is amazing! Is there something like this that displays your rear view mirror(s) too? Also, will this app work with the demo?

Anyone?

I'm using a Driving Force Pro which works flawlessly, until I minimize the game. One I minimize it and maximize it again, the accelerator pedal stops working, but everything else (including the brake pedal) continues to work. The solution is to exit the race and start it again (It doesn't even need a game restart).

Any ideas on what might be happening?
