Thanks for this utility!!!
:lovies3d:

does somebody want to make a vid showing how to install it? does it matter i am on wireless internet

Quote from logitekg25 :

wow, i suck sorry for being a hassle...i am doing too much right now to think

EDIT: i just cant get it to work, the error i recieve is can not connect to lfs, make sure the outsim is enabled or something like that. i enabled it by typing in the text thing /outsim 29999 and it says it enables but still nothing. i followed the directions perfectly and do i have to do the /outsim 29999 every time i play

lol, /insim 29999, not outsim. then it'll work

pretty sure i tried both...will update in literally less then 30 sec

still nothing i am running wireless, does it matter?

does this work with a photoframe :P

It won't download for me

sorry i'm late in responding. no, wireless shouldn't matter much. are you trying to run it from the same computer or a separate computer?

no idea, guess you'd have to test that.

can you explain more?

and then it just sits there, it never responds.

i am running it from a seperate commputer, if you have fraps or something mybe you can make a instalation video, for noobs like me

free fraps records for 30 seconds, so you could do it in clips

Can I run this on second computer, through LAN?

Quote from Erazotropa :

Yes you can!
Just type in CFG.TXT the destination IP for OutGauge..
And set port..
Dont forget to open up the UDP port in Windows Firewall!

That's all you need to know, assuming that the LAN you have is already working and properly configured.
The file CFG.TXT is in your LFS folder

That's because he no longer develops the program. Look for my post above or on a previous page for an attachment that's a clone.

You first need to find out the IP address of your computer that's running LFS, and you plug that in the program where it says IP address. There's many tutorials available by googling for it.

No need to edit the cfg.txt file for the new version of the program, the program edits it for you.

so what i need to do, is set the ip in the options to be the computer giving me the wireless?

Quote from logitekg25 :

I would assume your wireless internet is controlled by your router, however, all you have to do is find out what the local ip address of your LFS computer is, it's usually 192.168.1.xxx or 192.168.15.xxx. You then put that ip address into the clone program and it should work. If it does not work right away, you may have to forward the ports as well. This would have to be done in your router, and there are many tutorials available for your router. Go here for those tutorials: http://www.portforward.com/.

:dunce: :dopey: that makes no sense to a noob like me, are you saying that the router has its own ip? and i have to find that ip? what computer's ip do i have to put into the program?

ipconfig is your best friend... the default gateway is your clue.

That means:
go to Start -> run and type "cmd" (no quotes).
You have opened a command prompt window (old DOS style).

Type the command ipconfig and hit return. You'll get something like this:

Microsoft Windows XP [Versione 5.1.2600]

Configurazione IP di Windows

Scheda Ethernet Connessione alla rete locale (LAN):

Suffisso DNS specifico per connessione:
Indirizzo IP. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.150
Subnet mask . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Gateway predefinito . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
.............other stuff deleted............

Your IP is (in this case) 192.168.1.150
Your router's IP is (in this case) 192.168.1.1

Open a browser window and type your router's IP in the address bar, like:
http://192.168.1.1
hit enter
you get to your router's login page.
go to http://portforward.com/ to find out wich user and password you need to enter, it depends on the make and model of your router.
It could be something easy like "user", "user".

You might need to "open" (forward) a port on your router...
Tell us which menus you see in the router's management window and we'll take it from here.

urgh!! my router's ip is 192.168.1.1, which tells me the make is wrt120n, but it is not in there...is anything ever easy for me

is there any way for the clone program to just use outgauge? it would be much easier imo...or maybe in a later version yu could make it an option

EDIT: i just realised i have the same router as you...this could make everything easier. do you know what the user name and password is?

rofl, it does use outgauge. i use insim as well for some timing information, and to make it easier to connect the program to LFS without having to edit the cfg.txt file. the fact that you can't figure out how to forward your router is not indicative of the difficulty of the program. in fact, i'm fairly certain that this new version is easier to setup for that simple fact of no cfg.txt editing.

Same IP doesn't mean same router, anyway try with "admin", "admin".

since i cant get it to work...how can i transfer the old lfsdash to this computer?

Can some1 re-upload this none of the links are working.

Very,very nice!I use it on small lcd tv/monitor and,... , is there a way to change a color of a shift light or to enlarge some gauges?Because is a small monitor,and I realy dont nead fuel,temp,.. it wood be nice to have only speed ,rev ,gear and shiftlight!Just one more question: how to make 16:9 instead 4:3?

Hey guys,

I have this and re-uploaded, direct, permanent links
I have also updated the dash lights etc for z25
