it seem it worked! i have set the FFR to "close" (disabled) for steamVR settings in the pitool

at first launch that stupid annoying steamvr dashboard got in the way i couldn't get rid of it, it was interfering. i had to close and quit everything, then i launched again in the following order:

1) launch "steamVR" from pitool with the recommended settings
2) launch LFS.exe
3) enable "3d" and click OpenVR

so far i'm impressed by the silky smooth FPS and especially seeing the 3d geometry of your own car reflecting in the mirrors!

this simply doesn't exist in no other "popular car sims" that are out there for pc.

this is what i wish was there:

ability to bind the "seat forward/aft, up and down" positions to buttons on hardware controllers as well as "recenter VR" to a button on hwardware. it would be just perfect

now that i have solved this, im buying Rockingham.

@Kingoffice what version of steamvr you are using? in no where mine is looking even close like to yours (even with the menu items in french)

Hi

i have installed the patch U18, but i have no luck to run LFS in VR at all. When steamvr launches, LFS crashes instantly when i click on 3D / OpenVR, and i'm in window mode running 1920x1080

what i'm doing wrong?

TIA

there is a new one to be released soon,

shall we expect the new one to be featured in the ... "new" upcoming version of LFS?

Quote from Dandy Dust :

Does anybody know WHEN?

WHEN will the scirocco be introduced?

lol , from what i see, the one that was shown in the screenshots, is a 2008-2009 Sirocco model ..

by the time it will be introduced to LFS, it will be already outdated and replaced by a newer model from Volkswagen, and we will have to wait for another 4-5 years of physics and tires "adjustment" to see some screenies of it at first

after all, with everything that is available, it could be much more easier to make an accurate model of some older car .. like Audi QUATTRO from the end of the 80's or some Lancia Delta

3-4 years , more?


well, that will never end...

it's pretty much frustrating.


ps: i still LOVE LFS/S2, best car sim EVER MADE AND CREATED on PC platform

.. endless hours of playing and interest etc etc

keep up the good work! , all you LFS dev. team you really deserve to be praised

lol

OK.. after some patience and some EXTENSIVE search, finally i have finally found what i was looking for. (thanks google) and it was well HIDDEN...

I'm PLEASED to enjoy again driving the FXO GTR car wearing knobbly tyres and having dirt drifting rally style fun on the Blackwood rally cross track!

and yes, the old times of the patch U "WRC" fun is BACK .. and yes; IT WORKS on patch Z too and ... it Is GREAT! :headbang:

i have noticed in some other threads, that anything saying about this "thing" was blacklisted by forum moderators for certainly a valid reason, so i won't say anything more as of where i have found it. so i just want to express the freedom to enjoy a product the way i like and for which i have paid for ...

"Give us knobbly tires on GTR cars " - DONE!

soooo... whats up

I know how far on the bottom list this feature is and how the developpers are busy on making other more important stuff, but adding just a tiny little bit of "emitters" to put some fire, sparkles, smoke and maybe some little debris would change the game's image A LOT i doubt this would have a negative impact over fps, we are in 2008 and most of regular computers would easily afford that.

anyways, this was just my fart in the desert of the day. and i still keep enjoying playing LFS every day.

still no slickmod for version Y ?


this is really disappointing

Slickmod for verison Y ? oh ya..

been waiting so long for this to happen.

may the gods heard us

Quote from Dalek0220 :

If you want a good rally game WITH other types of motoring...

Get TM United! The Rally environment is a good place, as well as the Stadium. Just costs 20 quid, for your part simulation, part arcade rally enjoyment.

Screw j00 if you think different. =P

i have just checked that GAME's website, watched a few videos ... there is nothing even close that can be compared to LFS..

How can you ever dare to suggest that in here, sinner!

Quote from KillerMonkey :

LFS doesn't have proper rally tracks, so why would you have a proper rally car? Just play RBR for now, and be patient

Blackwood rallycross works very well for me.. back in the old times with slickmod and FXO GTR

nice!

but still nothing for the FXO GTR ?

Hi

I want to give you a pleasure to spill valid arguments to have a car racer game fan friend to be converted and convinced to get into LFS:

Actually, he likes NFS, Toca, TDU and all that bs for brainless kids.. Knowingly that todays selling factor for a car racing game is maybe based on 95% of its visual aspect (graphics), so thats why we see all the wusses like Electronic Arts and many other big game publishers producing "nice looking" car games spending most of their budget into buying licenses from car makers and releasing the games with extreme poor simulation performance etc.. (latest example i tried is: TDU)

As for LFS concerns, i don't know what their deal was to include the BMW (hopefully, it was a courtesy free agreement from BMW which is actually a good example for the others)..

soo, how better is LFS compared to (if it ever can be compared) to NFS, TOCA, RF, TDU etc .??

why not to just implement some additional options -of a reasonable level to mod or tune up the visual aspect of the car in order to add a slightly personal touch to it ? I believe this is not a priority for the developers at the moment. But seeing something to design / import yourself some parts like rims, windspoilers and some other minor tunning stuff would be a good idea.

Quote from horrgakx :

Not having much luck. I don't suppose anyone has the settings for the 8800GTS control panel do they? I've tried loads of different combinations and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Here are the setttings for the un-modified control panel settings;

same here, using a GF 8800 GTX, no visible difference no matters what antialiasing or other settings i have tried.

maybe the LFS 3D engine is too "light" for the 8800 ? it seems to be clamped at 100fps all the time here.

Quote from lucifer_greece :

+1
We just have to wait for Bob Smith's Tweak or Ciph's LFSTune so that we can set the engine specs (turbo, 2-2.5lt, 330hp, as much torque as possible).
The only thing missing is an active differential but we can do without it!

uhmm.. not sure if we need to tweak the engine specs to get that power, because in earlier LFS version with the Keg's Slickmod it was just fine , at least for me..

just make the kobbly/hybrid tyres

can we have any thoughts from the gods .. ermmm devs! on this idea?

as of today, there ain't no decent WRC cars in LFS.

Quote from lucifer_greece :

Even with locked diff on 50% F/R distribution you can't maintain the wheel spin necessary for sliding out of a turn while in a relatively high gear.
Plus, due to lack of downforce spoilers and because of it's narrow tyres, even if you tweak the engine up to 330hp (wrc spec), the car will be sliding like it's on ice!
But on tarmac, the rb4 rolls like a dream!

true enough. that's why we need a WRC variation of the FXO GTR

i think something like a smoke amount adjustment slider would be a good idea.

Quote from lucifer_greece :

Off-road tyres on the fxo gtr are meant for wrc-like racing. The rb4 is too slow for the dirt tracks. The fxo gtr reminds me of the old group D in WRC... So fun to drive on the dirt!!

i fully agree, mate.

Quote from mcintyrej :

Because its a race car, for use on race tracks. Its not a road car and it isn't intended to be raced on the dirt.

of course, but it races just great on dirt too.

i swear by the FXO GTR

personally; the what i'm missing is to have that damn FXO GTR to wear knobbly / offroad tyres. only another variation of that car should be added for the RALLYCROSS thing.. DOH

my suggestion of the day:

LFS license price should be raised.

i think im gonna start learning all that HEX editing bs and make one.. lol

i just don't understand why the original game does not allow to put knobbly tyres on the FXO GTR car doh...
