That's so weird. LFS was always my go-to simulatior, because it always worked no problem in CrossOver. Assetto Corsa and Beam NG took a long time to finally run decently.

Now it's the other way around: LFS stopped working.

Wow

Hey guys

I have been playing LFS on Crossover Mac for ages, recently even used the LFS Editor.

This week I upgraded to Apple Silicon and am surprised to see that even the very demanding sim Beam NG Drive work flawlessy, also Assetto Corsa runs and looks better than ever.

So why would LFS not work? It's way less demanding. Can it somehow not be forced into 64-Bit?




P.S.: What do you guys get? I get a Blackscreen with the mouse stuck in the upper left of the screen
Ironically the LFS Editor keeps working

Wow!!! Now if only I could get to work my clutch pedal & shifter … to get beaten by all these crazy fast Fins

I love the front splitter! The rims! The cage! The facelift bumpers! And you gave it a Sport EVO S14 Is the front now lighter? Should be, right?
I'll test and rate soon.

Hey, make a rear-heavy Touring config please!

Wow the quality is astonishing

Pretty cool! Although low-poly it's somehow spot-on from the outside. Will test this one soon!!

Wow what a beast!! Looking forward to this one. We'll need longs straights I reckon

Quote from detail :

Interesting. I hope the mod has less polygons than Fern Bay.

I laughed out loud. That's a candidate for the 2022 post of the year right there.

Hey Alpozdemir, you invite suggestions on the description page, check your private messages please

If it had collision we could make a mini Nordschleife with full liftoff at Pflanzgarten I


EDIT: I'm glad to see that this track is rear wheel drive
Ban FWD

Over the top! Über awesome. Thank you so much Rubie!!! I love it.

I wish there were already hotlap stats about this car, I would love to look up the world record on Blackwood Rallycross

Freakin awesome. Everything is tops unless maybe the XRG interiour, but seriously I don't care. I just happy the physics seem spot on after first testing. Did you go for the IRL trailing arm rear suspension?

EDIT: Whoopsie, sorry for double posting

Yay!!! The first E 30
I am so going to test this one out tonight!

Thank you very much Rubie

Wow that looks spot-on! That's some quality right there. Looking forward to more BMW's, particularly an E30 would be awesome.

RUBILUTION hahah!

Looking very good, will try it out soon

Yeah, thank you.
I had edited my post and said that it worked.

I like the flat-eight, sounds great and revs to the sky

Finally the first E30
Go for it!

Maybe consider a later model evo 2 front splitter if you dig that one

FRAUD hahaha

Wow this looks awesome!
Gonna try it tonight.

Hey is there a chance for a LHD version? ?

Wow, just wow! Gonna test this tomorrow night

Looks super awesome

Quote from ACCAkut :

They do, if you export with transparency turned on.

Thanks for responding

Installing the SuperPNG Photoshop plugin did the trick
Looks like Photoshop generally gets rid of the alpha channel when exporting PNGs, but SuperPNG (altough very old) makes it work

Free and open-source, Mac & Windows

EDIT: I add the error message in case other Photoshop users are searching this thread:
Solution: Color type is RGB but A is required

Sorry if that has been asked before, I placed an ***ALP.PNG in the PNG folder, and Editor tells me the PNG is in RGB color mode, but has to be in "A" color mode.

"Color type is RGB but A is required" is what the editor says

Does A refer to having an alpha channel? I tried exporting 24-Bit PNGs from Photoshop (RGB plus transparency)
Is the required format something that can't be done in Photoshop CS6?


EDIT: I found this post of Scawen wayyyyyy back in the thread:
https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1971184#post1971184

So A seems to be 32-Bit PNGs. I have tried tons of exporting options already, nothing seems to work.
As far as my limited understanding goes PNGs do not have separate Alpha-channels like a DDS, right?

Hi there and thanks for the tip! Question: Does that still work now?

I try to follow your guide but see only the .veh files that are in the veh folder.
EDIT: Scratch that! Worked. Now trying to fix various issues.
EDIT: Now drove around BL1 with it. With the engine I swapped in it! Awesome. Still tons of issues, but … so cool.

Wow! Awesome. And it took me only a couple months to find this
Thanks for all the work to put these together

Came out absolutely incredible. It drives and sounds so well and looks fantastic. Wish there was a LHD version
EDIT: Also I love the gauges. Beautifully done.
