Quote from Dani King :

hey alfalover, maybe if you were a better (and faster) driver you won't be racing in the last division and suffer so many collisions

When you're racing in the top divisions the feeling of the races are totally different and you can have a 100% clean race from start to finish with lots of great fights between skilled drivers

I'm not saying Spain is the best and shit like that, this is not about countries but about bugs in a game we all love to play

You could had written your thoughts and pov w/o offending anyone, your post has no sense to me

Sorry don't usually have too much free time to do 300 laps at circuit like others. to learn and ajust my car properly , I usually play 1 hour during the previous week to set a time , and race on mondays.

Like other drivers that are much better than they really perform, because they doesn't have enought time to practice.

If you could play 4 hours every day, is great for you, but I can't.

Quote from Pabss :

I can't understand what has to do the "cleanity" of races with a bug.

The fact is that if you make a mistake, and we all make mistakes from time to time because we're humans, and you accidentaly hit softly a fence, then you're flying like a bird, and cars DO NOT HAVE WINGS.

Because someone told some relationship between bug and low percent (40%) of people that end races ? i think it isn't a valid argument.

Quote from netsior :

Maybe we'll have to open another thread like: spain vs. england (alonso 1 vs. ham 2), but not here.

Facts:
1. the bug exits and its a problem
2. the racers (in our community or in others) don' race clean enough

Scawen can fix number 1

Or
Scawen could not fix number 1 , and people learn to fix number 2.

I play usually at spanish league, and I DON'T AGREE with them in some way, yes the bug exists, but remember(o learn) In Spain all people is very clever and they never made mistakes, the real thing is the most part of spanish league drivers don't know anything about CLEAN race, and contact and group collisions are very common, everyone wants to win in any way.

I know this words won't be accepted by my community but is the truth, every monday.

Yesterday I end my race at second turn. You could drive carefullly at start, but the driver behind you never will do it.

These things happens since lfs-spain exists, the problem is these drivers now can't continue his dangerous driving. And others neither.

Please excuse my horrible english.

Quote from Scawen :

Repeats? Do you mean replays?

yes , sorry, I don't know what I thought

( I thought in spanish, here replay is well translated to "repetición" , but in the opposite way we had to be done carefully because could be repeat also.)

I notice , with patch X that shift light doesn't glow on replays <- ups!

is a desired behavior or a bug ?

I there any option to enable it ?

People keep using dials from cars I've owned! That looks like Honda Civic/Rover 200/400

Yeah 1994 Rover 400 hehe

Now Outgauge usb works with real hardware:

Quote from Kada_CZ :

You may start with this, needs to be programed in the programmer only once, then it could be programmed by USB. Example applications (e.g. simulation of usb mouse) are also available on that page. I build it for my experiments, it's really simple, I recommend it.

I used Microchip source and demos too.

Quote from GabbO :

Hi
I want to ask where you have the USB hardware from,
or if you have built it where can a plan be found?
After exams i would also like to start developing one...

It works with PIC18F2455 / PIC18F2550 ,it is being build from start be me
and on a basic version it will control up to six pulse lines (servo mode(rc servos), and Frecuency mode(real electronic tachos and speedos), 8 digital out lines (upgradable up to 32) and up to 20x4(80 characters) LCD HD44780 compatible screen,

you can follow lastest news at www.outgauge.net

currently are not plans or schematics available. is on development.
yo can try a very very early alpha versión of software and watch
that is very costumizable how the data is set on the lcd screen.

Lastest video preview of driving real car hardware:

I mean in the vid neRu posted

Sorry XD , I was confused.

Quote from morcs :

Awesome, I recognise those dials, I think from my old Fiesta Zetec S.

no XD those dials are quick dessigned on corel draw , to use on this demo.

Demo 2 now controls HD44780 character screen up to 4x20 (80 characters max)

I'm currently working on a high costumizable OutGauge USB system:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nggmr7WICuQ

up to 6 servos , fully configurable character LCD screen , and up to 32 digital outputs.

I did this piece of Hardware , and the next link is the second demo video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nggmr7WICuQ

Scawen, i think out gauge could send lfs version with data, this would be very useful to detect posible future diferences in outgauge packets between LFS versions.

The final objective is be able to connect my system with a real car dashboard, more than build one homemade.

Last two week i was developing a usb device that can show lfs outgauge,
i post here the video about first demo.

on demo runs at 100 updates per seconds, thankfully to it's 100% usb nature, the little lag of carboard neddle is because it's a servo an it isn't enought fast.

Sorry but video comment are on Spanish.

I hope Scawen do a version or let lfs XP compatible, at least until most of us can buy a 20 ghz 128bits cpu with 20gb of ram to run the ****ing vista smothly, i think XP user don't will have problems with vista until Scawen wants to switch to DirectX 10.

I prefer use a unix like os , but i think the original choice of Scawen to develop Lfs in windows is the best.
The sloooooowly development of opengl , the nearly inexistent force feedback librarys on linux and no sense support of companies to unix like os. kill hopes

In lfs-spain we love reality and our race try to be it, real race, no rear impacts , clean drive.

Quote from BBO@BSR :

I don't think this will work. People will still drive offline and practice the track etc. (and if it would be possible to change the account to a special mode, they'll use their 2nd account or have a friend next door...

yes i supose is imposible.
