I am using the FFB enhancer created by juls. It has changed the feel of the cars on the track for me.

It's not perfect but with it lfs ffb is far superior to all the other sims.

I think that's because the standard ffb in lfs is already very good. It need some little tricks like this one.

Check my other thread.

that ffb enhancer is just what LFS needs! Wow good stuff. Really feel the grip/tires on the road, and road so much better. It's not perfect but wow it's real.

Quote from bishtop :

And that's what I-Racing so bad, i would not say it was much better than in project cars 2 when set correctly but saying that i tried I-Racing once and never liked it before i had even had the chance to race

Its certainly not worth a subscription too play as graphically its no better than a.c, and p.cars 1 is better never mind p.cars 2 but realism for the driving i would not be able to judge due to not having drove i-racing that much compared to the others

how do you just try it once if you buy a subscription for a month or two and get to race in uncountable races per day?

just saying I've done about 2 thousand plus official races on iracing

you get what you pay for sometimes and iracing is no different...you pay to race on their fast servers, not some random persons server halfway around the world..

iracing is the only serious sim around today that you can pickup and race any time of the day....oval, drift and road..

if you think it's too expensive you obviously don't have a car or live anywhere that you spend a 100 bucks a week or more on travel.

I'd rather pay a quality sim I can just pickup and race than ones I will only race idiots for the most part.

just saying maybe give it another chance.

Quote from BeNoM :

Ever tried Automobilista? Top tier FFB from what I hear, don't have a wheel at the moment to compare myself.

I can't make it past 10 minutes in that game - the FFB is just not what I expect it to be. Physics aren't' that much better either.



IRACING

Assetto Corsa

Rfactor2 for a few months

LFS - never but it used to be the shiz

PC2 - AB2 and those other sims whatever - like who cares....they are one step above simcade playstation games..IMO

From what I gather yes the FFB was made more for my first wheel which was a momo, as well as other wheels from a long time ago. You had to turn down the strength and to be honest I never really LOVED the FFB on LFS, but while racing and getting used to the cars it became something I enjoyed a lot.

We used to have great races around Kyoto Oval...one dude had like over a million laps...it was funny as hell cause he'd race like ever oval race...seriously the guy didn't have a life - no comment.

Either way it wasn't perfect but it was damn near impossible to just pick up and race without crashing - the physics were what got me the most. until that LFS came out we had a bunch of other sims at the time, but none were really that special IMO. Then live for speed comes out with S2 and changes the damn game.

Lots of people used to race on here...lots of great sanctioned races....we were all making our own skins...had teams...it was pretty damn good at the time.

And all of this had to do with a racing sim with a handful of tracks/more configs and just about every pair or triples of racing cars you could want.


Want to race in the GTR cars....check - slower front and rear drive race cars...check......the kart like racecar...check......

Nothing will come close to LFS and how great it used to be lol.

Iracing is great, and if I wasn't so cheap I'd reup my membership and race on the cars and tracks I have...already bought like 60+ cars and tracks on there.

yeah the FFB sucks compared to the newer games/wheels, but actually not really just turn down the forces allot - i know it sucks....


but what other sim do the cars stick to the pavement as realistic as LFS? i mean yes they have gotten great at what they do on the other newer sims...but nothing captures that moment when I fired up LFS for my first time and thought...damn that car behaves like the one I'm driving at home!

Not to mention when you change the car setups you can actually feel the difference....I haven't felt much of anything from any of these other sims when it comes to setups.....

If LFS was smart they'd get in on this SIM revolution and update the FFB to current standards...



end of the day when you have a great race with people online - the FFB and everything else is kinda second thought.....


oh yeah VR mirrors work good luck on most other sims getting that right lol


one thing I'll end with is this....only after I passed all the tests on LFS was I really competent with pushing these cars..LFS don't mess around.

And some rfactor2....I'm ready for my all time favorite driving sim...the most hardcore....

LFS

with the proper setup and everything this sim is still worth every penny.

All we need now are more people to race...seriously this takes a dump on everything else, but was just too extreme for people to keep racing.....now we should all buy s3 and start it up again.


ps im noticing I can't really feel bumps in the road compared to the others...t300 here are there good settings I should change it to?

try and join again i have it back up...able to create a server...just not sure if anyone can join

I'm trying the usb tethering now that was a good idea lets see.

Nope no data saver...I just need a router in order to open ports as I have many years ago.

I just thought maybe somebody had the same issue and had a special way of getting around this.

Thanks for your help I think I'm pretty much out of luck due to the fact I can't open ports on my phone.

Cricket service provider. Unlimited high speed internet w/tethering. Huawei phone.

I'm sure that I need to open ports just as I had to do every other time I installed this game. Unfortunately I looked online and there is no straightforward way of doing this.

Not sure I understand you RC-Maus because I had to do this everytime before with opening ports.

I download torrents day and night so no problem there. Honestly LFS was the first and last game I have ever had to do this with, and spent a fair amount of time when I first got the game in order to race online.

Like I said if it's not possible that is ok with me. Just thought there might be some special way I haven't found yet.

I had the same problem years ago with a modem/router.

how about you help me out instead of going on and on about how you don't feel sorry for me.

I did find the problem I need to open ports so I have no idea how you are able to connect "right out of the box" when I can't for the life of me.

ya you need to be part of the solution not just add to my issues with LFS currently.

At least I'm not getting down on the game, I want to play on demo servers again and have some fun...is that too much to ask for

No actually it's LFS because this doesn't happen in any other game to date.

Sorry if that makes you mad or sad that I'm not able to fix my issue

BooHoo

I think the real problem is your attitude towards America...Yes we can kick your ass to no tomorrow, we are better, richer, smarter, and well just all around nicer.

Enjoy LFS it's the same game it's been forever and will not change...which I like.

And no you have to open ports to play so there is NO way around this and I will be stuck racing Iracing/assetto crappa, Rfactor2, and anything else I want to play online...MINUS LiveFor2000s speed.

How come I can play multiplayer with no problem in any game?

I don't care anymore about playing LFS it was a great sim 15 years ago - I just want to play it for nostalgic purposes

that is I just want to mess around - I'm not serious about playing a sim that still feels like it did in the beginning bro.

Just to clarify why is it I can play with no problem in any other game with no lag when you said I have all these issues..

the only issue I have is that LFS can't run unless you open stupid ports...I could care less about how fast or slow you think it is.

The 4G lte connection I have never gave me any problems on iracing or other intensive sims - so unless LFS is just really slow for whatever reason I don't see how this would effect anything.

Bottom line is that whoever made this who port thing a necessity should be fired.

LFS is so old I doubt the connection would be bad. it's 2017 and there are high speed internet connections on phones now. Yeah it's true, compared to years ago when the speed was very slow, these days I'm getting 100x that speed on my phone, so no need to worry.

btw I do check the lag on the other games and I'm fine.

I'm really good at where I'm at I'm in no way shape or form going to buy another high speed line just to play this.

If you can't help that's fine, I don't feel sorry for you or anyone for that matter.

-So I am feeling not so sorry that you cannot get it to work-

So I don't feel sorry that you can't get it to work :0)

Well cargame.nl

do you feel sorry that I can race iracing and rfactor2, assetto crappo and a host of other games too lol

LFS is super old school...that's like something old - but that's fine I understand it's pretty much pointless to expect them to change it after so long.

It's fine really since i have so many races on the other sims, I just thought it would be fun to fire this one up after so long

So no I don't expect you to feel sorry for me, but you could be a little bit more helpful and just get this fixed

get at it son!

I got unlimited wifi data + teathering

all other racing games work

I remember back in the day when I was running off a router I was able to forward ports etc....i remember that all too well so many many years ago

now that I'm using my phone I'm afraid I am not going to be able to do this.

I can't change anything in the cfg.ini file can I?

Quote from driftbrk :

I don't get your point, look at the tracks that got improved, they aren't bad as they were before. If you say that SO it's going to be "destroyed" what would you do to improve the driving experience on LFS? Add some shiny graphics and make it a steam game?

A brand new SO would be so welcome like any other track updated, not to mention that FE also needs some "make-up" treatment

dude the tracks were perfect last time I was a hardcore player and that was like 15 years ago LFS should just stay like it is...it's the great sim of the early 2000s! Better than most of the crap that comes out these days.

Man screw all the haters.....I've played 300+ hours of assetto corsa - many more in iracing and 300+ in rfactor2....bunch in netkar pro etc

you know what - I keep going back to this sim and am amazed how great it still is after all these years.

One thing that makes this so great after so long and participation so graet is that there are a limited number of tracks...

sooooo sick of downloading a game only to find there are 100000 tracks and cars and only .0001% of that gets used online by anyone.

yeah the tracks are smooth in some spots but who the hell cares this ins't freaking iracing - you have to love it for what it is man.

Sorry I've been a member for a long time and I just thought it was like the good old days.

Anyways I tried disabling the firewall, no luck, maybe I should restart the computer after doing that?

Also I'm going off my Android wifi so maybe that's the issue.

No matter what game I try and join I get the same error.

tried reinstalling a few times, checked firewall settings - nothing - nadda

windows 10 64bit

now what

iracing is far less I pay for my cell phone bill a month, way less than gas for my car, or insurance to drive it...or basically it's cheaper than allot of things in life, well besides other racing games.

try iracing if you like oval racing.......

sure it's expensive, but it's worth every penny.

How can those fags even call themselves house djs when there music is crap shit?
