Congratulations! I started using LFS again because of my dk2 and Vive and the flawless VR Integration. Just getting out of the car and admireing those good old LFS Cars un real scale made me giggle. That being said, just the minor improvement in resolution from DK2 to the Vive was unfortunately enough to surpass lfs visual fidelity. I fear that this will become even worse in future HMD Generation.

Dear Scawen, can u display the VR LFS Main Menu on a wall while beeing in the PitLanes of Blackwood with all the LFS cars goin by or piting?

Written with my mobile phone and german autocorrection

lol, brains

I came back because of the Occulus Rift. I wonder if I am the only one.


IMHO LFS has the potential be the best VR optimized simulator for the near future.

Because of its modest hardware demands it'll perfect for VR and will run on DK2 (75hz at 1080p) at min 75 fps for nearly everybody. In 2015 CV1 will be a bit more demanding with rumored 95hz @ 2560 x 1440 (although I hope for 2880 x 1440). I think that fewer people will be able to run LFS competitors (iRacing, AC, PC) at these settings.

Most important reason though is that I imagine Scawen to be as fascinated by the rift as everyone else. It has to be awsome to step into your own work (code) a decade after you created that.



But sadly nowadays it's only FBM Blackwood, I want FOX - South City Classic & Aston Club back!

Person A: Check this out! Its my new super stylish skin display!

Person B: Woaah thats realy jiggy, any downsides?

Person A: Naah, I just have to take a pill every morning.

Person B: Care to elaborate?

Person A: Its an anticoagulation pill, otherwise a thrombus might be build in the venous part of the device that could kill me by being swilled into my lung arteries.

Person B: Who cares? Its so l33t..

Schlaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand!

Quote from Shotglass :

most who study medicine that ive talked to agree that you could essentially teach a parrot to pass the tests they do... its all nothing but being able to memorize lots of facts
in engineering on the other hand you wont get anywhere unless you understand what the hell youre doing

medicine is definitely more work but for that it requires zero talent other than reciting facts and you get the doctor title for free (which is why the majority of doc meds are absolutely uselss)
engineering on the other hand requires almost no work (until you get to writing your thesis which is tons of work) but lots of talent

shouting at the monkeys in the next tree... thats what brains evolved to do... not mathematics and physics

As someone who has first hand knowledge about studying medicine I absolutely agree with your statement.
Nevertheless is talent a key factor to to climb up the greasy pole (thanks to www.dict.cc) .
surgeon = spatial awarness & dexterity
anaesthetist = physics & biochemistry
internist = writing letters & being a boring person

P.S.: Neither are you able to clutch a branch by your feet nor did your brain evolve to shout at other monkeys.

Quote from ajp71 :

I've yet to read any objective review of the force feedback system in this wheel, my video is about as close as it gets but it's still far to subjective.

Language barrier strikes again !

Let me put it this way: Wouldn't the wheel turn faster, thus perform better at a "Niels Test", if you changed the gear ratio?
This would lower the pure force the engine applies to the steering column but increase the rotational speed.
My DFP can deliver more force than I ever would use (I use 101% both in LFS/Profiler) so a G25/911 should have even more left.

I asked myself what the main factors might be for a wheel to succeed a "Niels Test"?

That's what I came up with:
1.) response latency
2.) turning speed

I have no idea how to improve the first one, but isn't the second one determent by gearing between engine and steering column?

The majority of reviews I read attested the F911 wheel a very strong feedback, if desired. So would it be possible to sacrifice some strength in favour of turning speed?

Thomas Jackermeier posted in the german LFS Forum that they changed for example the length of the pedal cable after community input. Maybe they consider to enhance the wheel to perform better at the "Niels Test".

Clarkson voice: "How hard can it be?"

Sorry for my lousy english btw.

Yup you can choose, wheter cable or wireless. But i wanted to see what its capable off. So hooked it up rather quickly and did some laps.

I blame you for killing my F5 key.

Quote from afastrunner :

Oh and a side note. I have done some programming work with the Wiimote and if time and inspiration hit me at once, I plan on making a 6DOF head tracking setup that uses the wiimote IR camera (wiimote is better than those webcams becuase it is 1024x768 res, native IR, and tracks 4 points with onboard chip so it won't be hard on the computer)

I am sorry to hijack your welcome thread, but do you consider programming the head tracking in a "VR" way (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw)?

As far as I am aware LFS already supports 6DOF when it comes to Track IR. But I just can't get familiar with the idea of turning my head away from the screen.

Quote from Electrik Kar :

MDMA is fine if you don't overdo it. Once or twice a year should be enough for anybody. DMT I haven't had much experience with, but I've been quite a fan of the tryptamine family of drugs since I was a teenager. All that's long in the past now though...

Stay in school, kids! :hippy: (eat your spinach)

FYI DMT is actually a member of the tryptamine family. The difference to lsd,psycobilin and meskalin or Bufotenin is the full stimulation of the 5-HT2A (5-Hydroxytryptamine) receptor, whereas the last ones just act as partiel agonists.

Serotonin = Hydroxytryptamin BTW

That is definitely a frontal projection of the human brain.
The green area is the frontal lobe, the black one is the temporal lobe that is next to the purple, parietal lobe. Even the occipital Lobe is shown (red).

I am sorry for going off-topic, but those similarities are truly amazing.
Furthermore I can't contribute nothing relevant.

Sorry for the shameless bump, but I think it was a great addition to LFS.

Quote from wheel4hummer :

Private health care is cheaper. You enjoy your socialized medicine, and I'll be getting better health care at a lower price.

No it's definitely not cheaper if you are homeless or simply very poor and need a life saving medical intervention.


Nevertheless I see your point. A system that keeps wealthy people more healthy and removes those who need support, generates more income.

Edit: Ever heard of the "categorical imperative"?

One might think that stars and stripes are an unquestionable prove for private health care.

try seeing if you haven't got any trapped/pinched nerves anywhere. (That's the cause of my problem!)

That's what I first thought too, but notice the location of those contraction's? They are all over his body and especially his twitching eyebrow disproves this theory. There is no way that his N. Facialis could be compressed without a skull fracture.

Edit: I just read that you asked if the same location is affected. If it was like that he would probably suffer dysesthesia's where the nerve would have it's sensory innervation.

Please just don't mix NaCl randomly with water.
The osmolarity shouldn't exceed the physiological limit of your plasma that is 290 mosmol x liter ^-1.
Otherwise you will be hyper-tonic hyper-hydrated and that will result in "shrinking" cells because of the osmotic gradient.

I just wrote a little paragraph about cardioplegia and things that can occur because of to high Na+ plasma levels but I erased it again. I think it's enough to say:
Go and buy something like an isotonic sports drink. In Germany we have this stuff called Gatorade or Powerade.
Or go to a pharmacists and ask for an electrolyte substitution powder that is used when suffering severe Diarrhoea.

In the end I think that substituting electrolytes won't help you at all. The muscle twitching is more likely to be caused by central nervous deregulation assuming that you have healthy kidneys.
From time to time I do have muscle twitching too, so don't worry!

Quote from spyshagg :

very good advice from ayhawk. But start with a a CAT scan or MRI, not a X-ray.
Also, if its a bulged disc (a disc doesn't slip, it expands due to the disc walls getting thin/damaged. By expanding it will push the PLL and roots. Thats where the pain comes from. If they get to thin, disc herniates. Liquid escapes the disc) it will not recover like a simple wound. The discs don't heal (the walls dont grow back)

For god sake stop giving medical advises as long as you don't know what you are talking about!

For example CT exposes the body way more to radiation than an ordinary X-Ray witch would be definetely enough to see a broken synchondrosis.

Quote from XCNuse :

I talked to my sister about this last night, shes a physical therapist, and she said yes about my comment, just sleeping wrong could have caused this.
.........
You don't need to see a "doctor", you need to go see a physical therapist.

Please stop talking BS. You don't know if the reason is a damaged discus intervertebralis or a brocken corpus vertebrae which could result in paraplegia.


I am teaching anatomy to physical therapist at my university because I am doing an surgical PhD.

This topic is far to serious to speculate with superficial knowledge.

Edit: Please close this thread already and h3adbang3r gtfo to a doctor

Quote from h3adbang3r :

I am only 15 years old and all that would help with the pain is a dose of morphine every 6 hours.

Thats realy scary assuming that you havent seen a doctor yet.

Seriously, please don't ask people at a racing-game forum to give you any advise. No one can tell you what is wrong by reading your post.

Even I couldn't definetely tell you what you had if you stood naked in front of me without having an x-ray picture.
