Quote from OpenClutch :I'll add it to my list to update at some point, I could probably double the tri count for those since it's always front and center for the drivers.

Thanks for your answer - I'm looking forward to the next update - good luck

Hello

Will try your mod next. Really nice looking car and cockpit.

But a stupid question anyway: Why the car speedometer display does have such ugly "square" displays?


That ruins the really cool cockpit. Otherwise, you paid attention to a lot of details; why not the three gauges? Is that a deliberate design? Perhaps it's just more noticeable (to me) because of the chrome around the gauges. A few more polygons would significantly improve the look, at least in my opinion.

Regardless, it is/remains a really nice mod.

Nobody says it will never happen.

Let him finish what's already there for release. After that, there's still a lot for Scawen to do, to improve, and to engage with the community. He only has two hands, after all. Smile

Quote : I am making decisions to get to release without getting hung up on details.

The new version will be a huge step for LFS. Whether such details are implemented or not, there will ALWAYS be something to improve... especially with such a complex program! And Scawen himself sets the bar pretty high (code optimization, resource-efficient handling, and so on). I find his work truly impressive and look forward to every update, no matter how small it may seem.

Sorry for the late answer

Thank you - And yes, I'm using Windows 11 with 24H2. But I did not find the KB5046740 on my system.

I don't run a web server locally. But I don't understand how it relates to this problem.

Too bad, but I'll look for another solution.

Sorry, to me it's not clear where to ask question if problems exist. I hope, this thread is the right one?

If I start PIE.EXE (it doesn't matter if I use the old 0.1.1 or the new one 0.1.2) I get following error:
D:\PIE-old>pie tutorials\helloworldandquit.php
Exception(2020.2): Could not load PHP DLL in memory

The dependency is installed:


Any ideas whats going wrong?

Cool vehicle name choice! Big grin Thumbs up

Thank you for your answers

But that is not a solution (or only for parts of the request).

Updating/adapting any files is not very efficient and doing so for every possible car is not either. It is very cumbersome.

For me that means that it is currently not 100% feasible. Let's see, maybe Scawen can include the current FF value in a suitable Insim package (for reading; to change the value, the solution with the command is sufficient). Smile
Insim Packets to set/get force feedback of the wheel
Pasci
S3 licensed
Hello

Since I started driving with my new Moza steering wheel, I've noticed that I have to (should) adjust the force feedback strength depending on the vehicle in order to prevent clipping. And yes, that was actually the case with the Logitech G27 too.

I haven't found any information in the insim.txt that would allow me to read or even set the force feedback value. And yes, you can set an FF value using the /ff command, but first I want to know - from a program perspective - what is currently set/adjusted in order to be able to save this information.

My goal would be to be able to automatically set a previously used/saved value depending on the vehicle selected, without having to manually make this adjustment every time I change vehicles. I would also have to manually note down the current setting somewhere in order to set this setting again in the same way. Wink

Are there already Insim packages for this that I just haven't discovered yet? Shrug

Thank you for the work/lib

Maybe you can create an example for using the lib in Java? Are you planning an update for the mod vehicle support (correct display of vehicle names) and the implementation of other packages that have been added in the meantime?

My knowledge is rather poor. I can "get by" with Java, but have not worked with Kotlin yet (maybe I'll have time for that at some point).
Additional goodie: An AI race in the new environment?

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

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
