Case closed. The old USB seemed a little glitchy. A little soldering and a replacement with a high-end contact made it.

Hello.
Well, as the thread title says, the left stick doesn't work anymore after the update. It's showing but all it wants to do is spit out "Good race" and other things whenever you move it just slightly. I use it as a combined brake/accelerate axel. No more racing for me until I have solved this. Hints anyone on how to solve this?

Best regards

Amazing! Exactly what I meant. Thank you. Great fun. My wife hates you.

Hello folks!
For some years ago I stumbled upon a small gadget, perhaps it was just scripting, I can't remember that. Anyway, this gadget/script could alter the sound of the car, especially the engine. Perhaps even the rest of the environment too, I'm not sure. It was really fun to play around with but I can't find it. Where can it be found, anyone who might know?

...Live for Speed has some of the best VR support

- I'm sure it has, I haven't had the chance to test VR yet. But what I really do know is that LiveForSpeed supports 3D-vision far better than any other application on the market, racing games and simulators included. It's awesome. Be proud.

Quote from Whiskey :

...save the whole folder

- I tried the approach you suggested. And this is what I learned; to copy only the LFS folder will result in the loss of most settings. At least if the user runs W10 Pro 64. This because W10 is using (when it does, for what and for what reason I don't know) a dedicated area to save game and user settings, settings that the game itself automatically saves whenever a change occurs. Files that are manually added by the user, for instance downloaded setup or skin files, will still remain unaffected within the LFS folder. If this behaviour is hard coded into LFS or just a new way for W10 to save settings, I can't say. Anyway, the folder to copy is located in the 'Local' branch under 'AppData' and is called 'VirtualStore'. I have seen this folder before, but gave it little attention believing it was for the online Windows Store integrated with W10. Case closed.

Hello folks!

- Yes, I admit, I'm too lazy to search the forum for this. Faster to ask right away. Anyway, when making a fresh system install, what files should be backed up to keep LFS exactly the same way as prior to the OS install? Or even better, perhaps some one already wrote a small application to do this?


ratata

Thanks for your reply.

- I forgot to ask one thing; altered rims, will they be visible to others in multiplayer sessions? If so, automatically or will I have to prepare for that in any certain way?


thanks

Quote from Gutholz :

The LFS cars can be loaded into 3D modeling software to create scenes and effects that can not be done ingame.
For example put the cars on a reflective floor that it kinda looks like a showroom, or take wheels off or open doors.

- But this is only done if you wish to show your car in a cool pose in an otherwise obscure environment?

Quote from Gutholz :

The rims/wheel are seperate 3D objects from the body so exchanging rims is relatively easy and popular too.

I understand that it's a go with customized rims. And also use these custom rims anywhere ingame? But how about the body? Would it be correct to assume the body has to be left intact? Or can minor parts, like spoilers, inlets and more be customized as long as you don't alter the main design?

Hello folks!

- I'm one of the older guys here in LFS. But still, there are parts of LFS that I have never had a proper look into. Time goes..
One of these areas is how to put your own very personal touch of your vehicle. And by all means, there's a lot of reading to do about the subject. And that is perhaps good. Or bad. Unfortunately it seem that most of information is a little topsy-turvy. If you want to be nice.


But now I'd like to know more about this topic. Without spending endless with hours and even more hours just to find what I was reading didn't answer my question.

Below are a few questions about the topic and I really hope are easily answered;


0. Skin - Basic canvas in various resolutions. Everyone knows what this is.

1. Sometimes I read about "3ds cars models". What are these? What are they used for?

2. "blender"? What can I blend? What does it do, and when to use it?

3. "rendering"? In the real life world I came from (the 3D-CAM world), rendering means to create a 3D-object into a 3Dfile. Like a car. Or a printed rim. Does this mean we make our own car and rims in LFS and use them?

4. "rendering skins"? Rendering a skin? What's that? Skins are plane canvases you put som paint on. How can one render a skin?

5. "3d models"? Yeah, I work a lot with 3D-models. Working with 3D-models in LFS, is that when you want to alter som small part on a rim or perhaps the entire front of a car to make it look more...You? Can we do that too?



Thank you for answerings.
I'm an extremely intelligent dude in some things...
Other days it amazes me how **** stupid I am.

aah. Neat. Thank you!

Hello folks!

- In the upper right corner of the screen, statistics and a lap counter is shown. If one would like to record a few laps with no stats at all, is that doable? In other words, no text at all. If so, how?

Hello guysn'gals!

- A while ago I got my hands on a new laptop. This time it was a laptop with 3D-graphics. The new laptop arrived at the same time as LiveForSpeed was released with its new support for 3D. Along with LiveForSpeed, I tried several other games and applications supposed to be ready for 3D. Not all, but most of them were...mumbo jumbo in 3D. Pretty cool first minutes, but more or less annoying after some time. Except for LiveForSpeed.

LiveForSpeed was cool in 3D, I tell you. But not just cool, it was something more to it also.

I'm a pretty good LiveForSpeed racer. I'd like to think. Perhaps somewhere in the middle when doing my best, but still with a couple of seconds to cut (or more than that) compared to the better racers in the community. I can't count the times I've been watching hotlaps, stunned by the line the hotlap driver holds. How do they do it? They are aiming, as far as I can see, straight into the corner where there are...concrete blocks? Hard concrete blocks. And they don't hit them. They just sneak by. But I can't, it feels so wrong aiming at something that will break every bone in your body if hitting it.

This is where 3D combined with LiveForSpeed is sooo cool. All of a sudden, I too, can keep that race line I prior to 3D found so obscure. Now I really see where I'm going. My lap times improved with more than a second. I know what's on the wall is something called Oculus Rift. I'm sure Rift is cool, I have never tried it. But if you can't get your hands on Rift and are a serious LFS racer, you won't be disappointed with nVidias 3D-vision. Perhaps if you're among the best drivers you won't benefit from using 3D, except for the experience, but if you are like me, you will cut one or more seconds every lap.

Hi! My name's Jack and how now fror several years tryed to make any of my friends intrested in some serious SIM-racing...but with no luck. So, I'm a beginner but still wants to be a part of some team and have menthors on the way up? Anyone?

Quote from nutty boy :

Manual means you do it by yourself. Which clearly means you change gear by yourself so yes, you can shift while on manual. Did you mean Automatic.

What??

illepall I'm a beginner...in LFS!! I've been racing ALL other sims before. I found that the talk about using gears, clutch etc. is just...bullshit!! I can race faster than any guy using the automatic option in other games. Is this the case in LFS as well?? Do you really gain from using manual gear shift in LFS, or is it just 'mumbo jumbo' from the 'tough guys'?illepall

Beginner as I am, I thought I had to 'unlock' the game every time I started it (the game wanted that, after rebooting the registrationj was lost). Now I've reached the limit of unlocks this month. What to do? This is actually two q's: -Why does the game forget I'm licensed after rebooting the PC AND -How do I get new 'unlocks' (I don't want to wait another month to play)?

Nice to hear your digital gamepad works fine, duke. I still have problems with my analogue joypad though...

...no, it's not a gamepad, it's a 2-stick joypad, Logitech Wingman rumblepad.

Hi folks!
I'm using a joypad (analogue). It's been perfect with other simulators since I could change the dead zone, sensitivity and sometimes linearity. I've been trying to find where to change the dead zone and sensitivity in LFS. Can it be done? As it is now, the game is not playable, since I can't keep a straight course at high speed. Please give me a hint on this one!

I have the very same problem, but I HAVE an anlagogue joypad. The steering is way to sensitive, but the biggest problem is that I can't change the dead zone. This makes it impossible to keep a straight course at high speed. Can I tweak the dead zone in the registry, any settings file or somewhere else?
