I´ll get a crash (BOSD) with NV, dual core and the stereo-driver.

To run lfs in stereo, i have to deactivate the nv-multicore support within driver (nHancer) .

LFS is the only game (i´ve tested) which will crash..

Would be nice to have a solution...

Is the problem of the non-cockpit-racers (the bad one´s) so complicated?

I try to explain it. Just now (10 July 2007 05.42), i see just 4 servers for me (S-S). So 4 games i can join now. So take the voting of 70% for 'i love to force all others to my view' and shift this to the servers and wups - just one server is left for me. Nice or?

I know, lfs isn´t a company with traditionel behaviour, but they´v allready lost some customers by 'cutting' out keyboard-users (some friends of me had to exit lfs). Now, the next step is to kick all non 'in-car-view-racers' - all of them are arcade lovers? hmm - some brain left to think about it?

The market for racing simulations is realy tiny. Is it a good idea to devide it in lfs?

More realism on cockpit view? Hmm - let´s take a real small car - perhaps the lupo - have u ever seen a lupo which has a width of 24" - assuming you have a 22" display?

Have you ever seen the nice 'scotty-beam-me-up-to-pit' in real racing? Please show me the small track-layout on screen, in a real racing car. Ups -can it be that i forgott all the other pc-specific things in lfs, like F12, F9 etc.?

LFS is the best racing GAME-simulation on the market, but still it´s a game. And sure, LFS belongs to LFS, they can do what they like to do with it. But it should be a thought worth, if just league racers are enough for the futur success of lfs.

For me it´s a simple thing - if can´t play this game like i love to, i won´t.

It´s a shame, that we 'non-elite-racers' where attacked, because we just don´t like the view of the majority. Tipps like go out and play nfs instead of lfs are perkiness.

Now it happens - we have 'Forced cockpit view' and i think this will be the standard for most servers.

Since many years (pre s1) i play lfs, but this option could kick me off.

I CANT USE THIS VIEW, because i drive with shutter glasses (VR) and in cockpit view, there is no way for me to get good settings (VR). If the car is ok, the environment is flat. If the environment is ok, i´ll see the car twice.

I hope i err me and most servers don´t activate this option.

Quote from Montabur :

...and what is vr-mode?

... i use shutter-glasses and a driver-addon of the nvidia gfx-driver. So i can race in real 3D. VR = virtual reality

V4 is working very well for me - i get about 10 to 15% more fps compared to v2 (in NV-Stereo-Mode).

I´ve got just a tiny problem with textur-flickering (only in vr-mode) on some buildings - i don´t know on which version the flickering started, but i´m sure, some releases before.

Each time i start lfs, i see a optimized game - just fast and close to be perfect. I would be glad to see other game-developers on your level.

I´m sorry, but i can´t find any differences in sound, compared to V2 (have i missed DSound 3D? - it would be so easy for you )...

I would say it´s a huge step forward with sounds in lfs.
I like U36 - the ZIP-content is a tick better...
... tested rac, fzr and fox.

FZR-Sound is very well now.

Good work.

So it seems, that they are well known and fair.

I´ll try to straighten it out on their forum.


@Albieg
I´m with you by 100%. I think it must have been an admin-instruction, because i havn´t seen a voting.

... seems to be blocking, bannig all racers with good performance.
My first ban since i´ve played lfs - pre. s1. :-D

Till now, i just drive with shutter-glasses. But i´ve seen a real nice VR-Solution with head-tracking.

This HW seems to be very nice - have someone used it with lfs?

Quote from ebola :

...I do not see any other person reporting this bug makes me very suspicious...

I have it too, sometimes. And it´s not the new F1-Patch, because i had it before as well.

This is exactly my problem - besides, that i can fix it by just leaving and rejoining the server.

... i´m wondering on how many others would have the problem, but won´t recogniced it, because everything seems to be ok - just that a lot of crashers are on track...

Meanwhile i´ve got a mpr of such a race.
Detailed racing-data of this race

Would be nice, if someone have a hint for me. Seems, that the server got the position-updates, but no other client...

I´ve got a funny problem in online-racing. Not seldom, all others won´t see my car. If they switch to me - i´m in garage, while i´m still racing...
- Ping to servers are ok (dedicated and nondedicated)
- no lags
- connection-bars left down are ok
- i can chat with others
- they will see my finish time
- in replay i stuck at garage or at a place on track
- for me, it´s a normal race, seeing everything i should
- happened with older patches as well

I´m in "TCP-Mode", because i need CTRL-T to switch my VR on.

Most times it happened in Team-Races:
- join server (qualy-mode)
- box; race; box etc.
- restart server (like new track, new settings)
- i´m in race like allways, but noone can see me (i´m on pos. 1 on their list)
- left server and rejoin -> all is ok again

Isn´t it nice, just to have THE bmw in game?
I never thought about a real f1 car in lfs. Let´s just take it an see whats comming else...

I use it (Elsa Revelator) since many years. It´s phantastic to have "real" 3D.
Sure, you need a CTR at a minimum refreshrate of 120 Hz.
Since then i don´t play without it - it´s too flat.

A nice gimmick would be to see the name of the active track (in MP)... or have i missed something and i can get it some where now?

I use it (Revelator & CRT) since many years, so i can´t play in flat-mode anymore.

LFS ist working very well with it. The only bad thing is, that i can´t create a good setting for incar-cam (environment would look flat).
