Additional goodie: An AI race in the new environment?
Pasci

An additional goodie would be a new video with a simple 3 lap race (or something similar) with a few AIs and a new track or layout? Smile I would be happy... and probably one or two people here would be too. In the evening or at night would also be nice, of course... but sunshine is fine too. Wink

Quote from Gabkicks :The turtle Beach is $399 in USA

In Switzerland it costs around 530 CHF! Frown

For me, the Moza R12 is the better but also more expensive choice. The steering wheel should now last as long as the G27! Big grin (10+ years)

Thanks for moving the thread to the right place

Works perfectly - Thank you
Force Feedback increase/decrease on steering wheel buttons
Pasci
S3 licensed
Hello

How can I assign the increase or decrease of force feedback to steering wheel buttons? The "/press" command does not support these keys/characters (. and ,).

Do I have to use scripts for this or is there an easier way?

Alternatively, it would of course be cool if you could also use the /ff command for the increase/decrease and not just have to specify fixed FF values. Smile


Ups: I think this is the wrong area for my question. Sorry

Thank you

Unfortunately, interest in the service is - to put it diplomatically - very limited. Frown
But I'm not giving up yet. I'm revising the offer. Let's see if it gets better then.

In the meantime, I was able to try out the Moza R5. Compared to the G27, it's in a different league (at least for my taste). The driving experience is much more intense than with the old G27! The many setting options compared to the G27 are challenging, but it's also fun to find out what effects they have.

Guys, thanks for your feedback and experience reports

A colleague has ordered a Moza R5 set. I'll probably be able to test it out. Smile

I'm probably going to get a Moza R9. Will see...

Does it make sense to buy a DirectDrive steering wheel and LoadCell pedals?
Pasci
S3 licensed
Hello

Probably a stupid question, but what is the point of an expensive DirectDrive steering wheel and the load cell technology for the brakes?

I drive decent times with my old-fashioned G27. Does it make sense to switch to another product (apart from the fact that the available drivers are ancient). I am currently not using 100% of the available force feedback steering wheel strength (which should be around 3nm at most). So what do I get out of it if the future steering wheel is 2-3x as strong (nm)? I am not the youngest anymore and I don't want to put unnecessary strain on my wrists. Big grin

And yes, so far the best I can get is a G27! I haven't had the chance to try out another steering wheel yet. The price of the "better" steering wheels also puts me off. Because I don't see any added value (apart from the driver issue) in such an investment.

So far I have looked at the technical data of the following steering wheels:
- Logitech G Pro Wheel & Pedals
- Turtle Beach Veolocity One Race
- Moza R5 Set

To be honest, I am a bit overwhelmed by the selection of other products!

Now I'll probably be inundated with information and feedback... Big grin

Realy nice car - Thank you

The right front indicator is much less well lit than the others. Known problem?

And please replace the screenshot of the cockpit. It is far from the current state. You shouldn't "sell" the vehicle as worse than it is. Big grin

The STL files are now online on thingiverse.com

Most things now work as intended. The current parts look like this.







Next I will upload the 3D files. The link (thingiverse.com) will follow at the next opportunity.




If anyone is wondering why the parts are so strangely colored: There is currently a "Rainbow" filament inserted in the printer and I didn't feel like changing it. Smile

Thanks for your feedback

Not my best race but probably good enough for the demo of the mod. Smile At times I drove OK, at times really badly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djmDr7fqO-A

But what I noticed in all the tests of the mod and various bikes is that the tires get way too hot very quickly. Regardless of whether it's a street or race setup?! Is that still a problem with the current tire physics? What are your experiences?
(3D printed) Logitech G27 Mod to better drive motor cycles
Pasci
S3 licensed
Hello

I'm working on a mod for the G27 steering wheel to make it easier to drive motorcycles in LFS (and of course other simulations) without having to make a big investment. Of course, this doesn't make driving motorcycles more realistic, but it does make it easier. Smile Previous versions/attempts have been a lot of fun.

The only component that was purchased is the dark gray plastic tube that serves as the handlebar.

The following components are from the 3D printer:
- The mount on the steering wheel (2x including clips) (PLA)
- The handles (TPU)
- The gear extensions (PLA)

The 3D objects (STL) will probably be made available on thingiverse.com later. I'll keep you updated. In any case, I'm looking forward to your feedback.

By the way: The pictures no longer represent the current "development status". Adjustments/improvements have already been made.





A video demo of what it will actually look like will follow as soon as possible.

In the meantime: Have a nice weekend

I don't know why the reviews so far have been so bad. There hasn't even been a single comment yet?!

But the steering wheel texture is really pretty ugly! You should replace it.

But I haven't done a spin yet... so I can't rate the mod yet. I'll do that tomorrow.

Quote from Drifteris :That's because riders head is pretty close to them so game turns them off to...

But why don't your other bike mods have the same problem? In these cases, however, it works perfectly. Maybe I don't understand the fundamental problem here.

Anyway. Thanks for the solution

The mirrors don't work or only work when you're cornering. Frown So they're pretty useless.

Interesting that no one has noticed this yet? Or are everyone using the other setups (not the "Stock")?

Good to see you released the latest test patch. Thank you

I previously had the problem when restarting the host with version 0.7f that the host did not appear in the host list. After stopping and starting again, it worked. Not an issue on my part, but maybe helpful for you?

Another point (more of a detail on my part):
The previous articles on new releases had a URL like:
https://www.lfs.net/patch-7e

The current article, however, has a URL in this format:
https://www.lfs.net/patchInfo/patch_7f.php

I noticed it by chance when I wanted to link the article on my team site. Smile
Ready-2-SimRace - Commercial events with LFS (for swiss customers)
Pasci
S3 licensed
Hello

I know that this is probably the wrong place to advertise my race events (with LFS). But who knows, maybe one or two (hopefully more) Swiss people will find this and get into the sim racing topic with my events... Smile

URL: https://ready2simrace.ch

The website is only in German. However, Google Translate can help (with a few display errors when using this method).

Feedback is of course welcome.

And yes, I have a commercial license for that. Cool

If there were to be a track editor for the community, that would be useful (road signs). Shrug Before that, I don't really see the benefit - especially before the physics/graphics update. As long as the developers are working on two versions, in my opinion any feature requests are pointless and a waste of development time.

Let the developers finish the big update first.

Quote from ivancsx :Thankyou, as for the driver side, my consideration is because Varis Ridox car are RHD only (the one I'm referring too), I might reconsider it if there lot of people who wanted this car has LHD too 😄

As for gear indicator, I dont think it would fit as real Supra doesnt have one, but same with driver side, I might reconsider if it needed or not Big grin

Thank you for the fast reply

We will see Big grin

Really nice and impressive looking car - great work! Thumbs up

To bad it's only with driver side "fixed to right". Shrug

Perhaps you will find a place in the really cool cockpit where I can read the current gear? Big grin

Do you plan also a command to set "Look sensitivity" and/or "Look centre reduction"?

Currently with the new command "/lookf" I can "only" switch to "steer" but can't set/change the sensitivity, right? And additonal for "mouse_x" the "Look centre reduction". Perhaps thats could be possible with additonal parameters like "/lookf steer 1.0" or "/lookf mouse_x 1.0 0.1"?

If not: That's OK too Wink

Anyway: Thanks for the new test patch

Quote from ivo_drifta :R32-R34 are manufactured RHD only. It's more realistic this way, but for improving the gaming experience it could works.

Ah! Thanks for the explanation Thumbs up

It's very unusual for me. I would personally welcome a version with a seat on the left. It's your vehicle. Do you need to know... alternatively publish a "new" version which no longer corresponds to the "original" but can be driven on both sides? Shrug

But I will try later again the current version... Smile
