There is a working prototype on git, https://github.com/VictorVanV/HtmlRemote Maybe we could find somebody to help out Vic with some code. Smile

edit: Ah I just noticed you posted in the old thread too, so I guess you knew about this already.

I vividly remember the blackwood guru tease we had back in 2006.

Shame the waybackmachine didn't capture the picture.
edit: HA, it's still on lfs.net https://www.lfs.net/guru.html

And a couple of days later we get hit with this:

The hype was so intense back then, crazy times. Big grin

"doesn't work" is not a good description, where does it fail? What exactly are you trying to do?

They are almost the same wheel. Personally I'd go for the 27, it has less of a "toy" look in my opinion and if you can get it cheaper, all the better.

Kunos on the way forward for AC:

Quote :The game will continue to be available for purchase, servers for multiplayer and lobbies will be kept open and active for as long as people continue to play it. The game will not receive further updates now (It has now been 7 years since AC development started and 4 years from its 1.0 release) Our entire team is now focused on AC Competizione.

The fat lady has sung it seems, but this new AC looks like a really nice endurance sim: day/night, rain, driver swaps all confirmed, lets just hope it'll be implemented properly. Smile

The i7 is overkill if you're just using it for gaming, mostly makes sense for video editing/encoding. Use the i5 equivalent and use the money you saved on a better gpu. The GT 730 is 2 generations old, and will seriously slow you down.

Quote from bishtop :its probably something i will now notice Smile. If a.c fixed it so the main menu ect could be seen in VR then that would be a bonus like is done in project cars

With the new DASH 2.0 beta branch for rift you can do that, no need to take off the headset anymore. Smile

Quote from bishtop :never experienced micro stutters in lfs personally, but agree a.c is nice in vr. One thing i do use for LFS is the degug tool to increase the pixels per display setting to make lfs look more clear

Once you see them you can't unsee them! They're there because of the LFS 100hz physics rate and the 90hz refreshrate for Rift/Vive.

Just drive somewhere with scenery and look to your side, you will see continuous small stutters while things move past you. It's not terrible, but distracting enough for me to make me prefer AC even though the LFS implementation of VR is far superior in every other aspect.

+1 on VR, I really enjoy the looks of it and it doesn't take a huge amount of GPU power to run which is nice. No microstutters like in LFS is also much easier on the eyes.

Quote from SimulatorRental.com :So should I have a separate install folder for each LFS instance?



I am currently only using one install folder on each computer.
It is easier to maintain files, car setups, track layouts, custom billboard graphics etc... with just one.

I guess you could create junctions for the folders you want to share and still get the best of both worlds. Move the folders (eg setups, dds, skins) you want to share to another location create your junctions, et voila.

junction D:\lfs1\data\dds "D:\lfs_shared\dds"
junction D:\lfs2\data\dds "D:\lfs_shared\dds"

We used to race MRT on Fernbay Rallycross back in the FM days, I guess I even still got a set for it somewhere. 2March was a big fan and converted us too. Ah, good old times... Smile

Pretty much any decent PC can run LFS even in VR.

The question is if you want to run other things aswell, if you don't then that PC is overkill, if you do then this is the minimum requirement.

You say you are not into PC's, if you feel up to the challenge of building your own you would get much better components for the same price or less.

Example: (first google result didn't thoroughly check it but looks ok at a glance) http://pcgamehaven.com/best-900-dollar-gaming-pc-build/ 900$ + 400$ for rift and touch = same price, faster CPU, faster GPU, faster RAM + SSD.

The PC bundle you linked is also about 2 years old, you can probably get this used for a much better price.

I wasn't impressed with the complete season. Latest season of original TG was better in my book, guess that says it all.

The G25 certainly still works fine with Win10.

Did you make sure to only plug the wheel in once the driver installer told you to do so? I remember that it can be a bit picky if you don't. May be worth a try and completely remove the Logitech Gaming Software and reinstall it.

Also get the latest one if you didn't already do that: http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/g25-racing-wheel#download

I was always too lazy (ok bad pun) to get this but wanted a way to quickly check where I loose time so finally downloaded. Smile

Now I've got a suggestion for the gadgets related to sector/best times:

Would it be possible to either do a standalone gadget or change the "time diff" to add some more options regarding what time it compares it's delta to?

I would really like something similar in the way iRacing does this, you can quickly change the delta time to either use your all time or current session "best lap" "optimal lap" or "best sector".

Example: https://youtu.be/sAZcwfXep2c?t=364

Like this the data can stay useful even if you, for example, go from qualifying to full race fuel. Or you can quickly check in which sector you lose time not just regarding to your best lap but the best overall sector time.

You will render LFS at twice the standard resolution, everything should look sharper.

It wont magically make the textures better of course but you should see a noticeable difference.
