Sounds like fun. I like to join.

Bit pointless but driving those really reminds me of driving around a mixture of Croydon and M4 elevated section!

Where they an influence in the track?

I remembered this was discussed on RSC so I did some searching and found this old thread.

Quote from EeekiE :

Wasn't the Le Mans AirCon thing a new rule for GT1 class cars? I'm sure I heard a commentator say that. Can't wait till June :hyper:

Yes, I heard it from the commentator aswell. I believe it was David Brabham who was completely dehydrated in 2005, that sparked the discussion.

I looked it up and the rules do not specify you must have an airco but it will probably be hard to comply to the rules in an other way.

here it says (page 19):
http://www.lemans.org/sport/sp ... regl_2007_LMGT1_fr_gb.pdf

14.6 Temperature inside the cockpit (Closed cars):
The ambient temperature around the driver must be
controlled:
1 Either with an efficient air conditioning system (strongly
recommended) which must:
Comprise a compressor, a condenser, a pressure
reducer and an evaporator ;
Be described on the homologation form and approved
by the ACO ;
Maintain the temperature around the driver at 32°C
maximum whatever the temperature on the outside
when the car is in motion ;
Go back down the temperature at 32°C in 8 minutes
maximum after a stop of the car.
2- Or with an efficient cockpit ventilation system which must:
Maintain the temperature around the driver at a
maximum of 12°C above the actual temperature when
the car is in motion.
Be described on the homologation form and approved
by the ACO as well as the thermal insulations to reduce
the heat inside the cockpit. The homologated
equipment must not be modified. The ventilation can be
adjusted by the driver only if the temperature inside the
cockpit is below 32°C. If the ambient temperature
exceeds 32°C, additional effective driver cooling
systems homologated by the ACO or by the FIA are
mandatory.

I wish it was june

Quote from CJ Ice :

Cool MAn! But not in a gtr car. In a gtr there is no air condition, and analogue speedometer etc...

Personally I don't care about airco in a simulated car.

But for the first time this year airco is compulsary in the Le Mans 24hour race (for closed cars). So there are GT cars with airco. (The Corvette had airco for years at Le Mans).

Quote from Lacroix :

So.. my G25 has arrived.

I'm having problems assigning the controls in LFS tho.
On default, both gas and brake are active (without the pedals being pressed).

I tried reassigning them, but to no avail.
The brake pedal is on the same axis as the gas pedal (but reversed?) and I could only assign an axis to 1 function.

Any help?

To get my G25 working right I had to

1. install the drivers that came with the wheel
2. get into the control panel options press 'properties' and then 'settings' and uncheck the 'combined axis' checkbox.

Be sure to select 'separate' in LFS in the brake/throttle controller options.

To reverse the axis press the 'invert' button next to the axis function.

I hope this will solve your problem.

And welcome to LFS, cu on the track.

Since the U32 sounds are uncompleted testsounds. I don't want to compare them with earlier versions of the soundsystem.

For me it's like comparing a chassis of a new supercar with an existing ferrari.

So no vote from me this time.

Quote from Dajmin :

I used to play Motor City Online, and after that folded I started the long search for a good replacement. I stumbled upon LFS then and have never looked back!

I read BigBens review of the LFS demo on the MCO forums, and... well... what Djamin said, I never looked back.

PS: apart from a GPL affair

Well done everyone, and congrats to Jovadzic. He certainly deserves it.

Check your PM's

Quote from silent_wind :

is there a tutorial or somethin that explain how to use that telemetry in LFS ? how about third party stuff ?

Have a look here

I hope this helps

Thank you devs!!!!!!

Quote from Vykos69 :

Yesterday evening on GIGA the projectmanager announced the Intel Racing Tour. This tour will have events throughout whole germany until Feb. 07.

Main price is a BMW M6. On those events you can play the BF1 in some cockpits and qualify for the final event. The online game on the site is a flash-based game and has nothing to do with the Tour-game, which is LFS.

The projectmanager also said, that there wont be a free copy with the BF1, but it will be in the game and everyone can buy the game and practice at home.

So the bottom line: intel has a game that needs skill for their Racing Tour, and LFS has the BF1. As incognito said, that's a win/win situation.

Very well done sirs!

Quote from Becky Rose :

I've got every setting on max as far as I can tell (LFS does have very strange graphics setting options though so I may have got confused), I do get round wheels but I still get the octagonal ones at the very edges of the screen, i'm on 1280x1024 resolution.

I'm not sure what % usage my cpu & gpu are on but if I turn off frame limiting I get 100+fps - I have it capped to 60fps normally (the eye really cannot tell the difference over this so it's a waste of Watts/heat to run the game faster). I also got the problem when overclocking the system to 110% cpu/fsb/gpu speeds.

It is only on the very edges of the screen though - but here's the thing - it's a racing game... I sit on the grid and I drive alongside other cars, those octagonal wheels actually crop up quite a lot for such a limited area of the screen!

The mip bias in the graphics settings is set to -4. AFAIK that is the lowest quality setting (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). I don't think it will help with the wheels though.

Congratulations to you both

Fijne kerst / Merry Christmas.
