Quote from GP4Flo :That sounds good. Do Force Feedback and online play work as well? What are the specs of your Mac? Do you know of a free software which does the same thing?

His signature says he is using a 2.5 GHz, 4 GB, 8600GT 512 MB model. This would be the old model, not the unibody one which was released a couple of months ago.

I'd say the car will be released at the same time as the next scheduled update of LFS itself. My guess is that it'll be released in December, probably before Christmas if possible. If not, the release would probably be in February of '09. Just speculation nothing more.

Another question:

How do you structure the code?

Like this:

function foo()
{
for(int i = 0; i < 25; i++)
{
do_something(i);
}
}

or this:

function foo() {
for(int i = 0; i < 25; i++) {
do_something(i);
}
}

Or some other way? I myself use the first of the two as I find it easier to read the code at a later point.

If you want to use a digital speed you can have it for real, just check this thread:

Here's a thought:

What if you could decide how many degrees you'd want to look sideways, by a setting? Those who want 90 could have it, and those who want less could have that as well.

In the directory "data/scripts" open the file that is the same as the car you want to do change, in there you'll see a line "run road/sequential/paddle". Each of these set the current car to use a specific car config.

Road cars and gts would use "run sequential" and formulas would use "run paddle". When you have set up your cars correctly, open up sequential.lfs and paddle.lfs. In this you should have these two lines:

button (paddle/stick button id) shift_up
button (paddle/stick button id) shift_down

You can see the button id from within LFS so you just need to check that before editing the scripts.

To be honest I'd rather drive an overweight (or less powerful engine) FZR with sequential gearbox (with ignition cut) than the H-gate with no extra weight. The FZR is now much trickier to drive than the other 2 GTR:s, and the reward as I see it is too low.

For endurance racing the FZR is going to be a bitch, as the other two are nearly fool-proof, when you drive normally.

Shame Montoya isn't racing. I reckon he'd do good here.

Quote :“The WMSC is satisfied that Vodafone McLaren Mercedes was in possession of confidential Ferrari information and is therefore in breach of article 151c of the International Sporting Code,"

How come there is no punishment when they are found guilty and breaking a rule?


Just a little note:
I wouldn't have problem at all if McLaren had been found innocent. But now when they are found guilty of possession, and also breaking a rule (151c), and get no punishment - that is what is my problem.

GrandPrix.com article: http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns19318.html

Some interesting things:
  • 1.3-1.5 liter 4-cylinder engines
  • 400 bhp engines
  • Push-to-pass, up to 250 bhp extra
  • Spec bodywork and parts
:thumbsdow


With these proposals actually happen, F1 wouldn't be F1 anymore. I sure as hell won't be following F1 anymore. I hope they come to their senses and understand that they probably are going to ruin the sport.

Some rumours about this incident suggest that he has been investigated for a long time, up to a year according to some source. More rumours suggest that he is wanted by Interpol.

Ferrari went to the court at the end of May with documents that suggest that Nigel was a part of it. I guess Ferrari must have had some idea of who it was when they found the powder. There are also reports of the same powder beeing found at Nigel's house.

This is pretty big according to another source who is working in F1.

Quote from LoganC :I reached the CD1 target time, took quite a while and a LOT of tweaking of the setup! I was very close though! One wrong shift could have ruined it! (1:44.35) !
I got the little Target PB thing, but yet, I still can't join CD2. Are the licenses manually updated? Or are they only automatic for previous W LFS Lapper times?
Anyway, it's a great idea and I look forward to some good clean racing. Soon hopefully. I'd hate to have to try and beat it again!
-LoganC-

It's manually updated, you may need to wait a few days for the next update.

Quote from Scawen :No, nothing can be done, the finish line at WE1R is a few cars back - it's not a program bug.

This was reported yesterday and Eric has now fixed it in his copy of Westhill.

Ok, thanks.

Is there anything that can be done with the positions list at race start? On WE1R the first 3 cars on grid are at the bottom of the list.

Seen this in W41 and W42, others also reported this in W42.

See earlier post: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=443260#post443260


A replay of W42 is attached

Quote from mr grady :i know this may be an age old question, but im thinking about changing my old MS FF wheel/logitech pedals combo.

either a g25 or DFP.

may i ask what you used before you got your G25?
was it worth the dosh?

cheers.

I had a MS FF wheel before I got my G25. It is really worth the money, best wheel I've ever used.

I thing I really hate about backmarkers that are about to get lapped is that they sometimes go very slowly in a corner (slower than they usualy drive) meaning you are very likely to catch them mid-corner. What makes it worse is that it there is usually only one fast line through the corner and they're on it.

If you are about to get lapped but haven't been passed before you enter the corner, try and get through the corner as fast as you can when driving safely. If you cannot do this (ie cannot keep your normal speed through a corner with a faster car behind) - be nice, let the car behind pass before the corner.

At race start the position list doesn't match the grid, at least on WE1R, saw it at every race I did yesterday on the Bug Test 1 server.

The first 5 positions on the grid have the wrong position in the list, The first three on the grid are at the bottom of the list, gridspot 5 show as 1st with gridspot 4 as 2nd.

Attached are 2 screenshots of the list and grid aswell as the replay. Also managed be involved in the start of a big start crash shortly after the green lights came on.

Quote from GeForz :Not a bug.

If you click on GTR is sets MRT and the formulas to red so not showing servers which allow those cars. If you want all server on which you can drive the three gtr cars, click each of them one to set their names to blue.

Ok, thanks. Never really thought about it until now. Haven't really raced for several weeks either.
