I have a problem. Whenever I try to enable dashboard, I get an error... "can not load library" LFSLazy is installed the exact same way I've installed it before and had it work. Not sure what's up. Anybody experience this?

New version is up!

Quote :

Dashboard - allow 256x256 indicators, new version of cfg
Dashboard - animations (indicators, text)
New dashboard editor (removed /o dash, use Other->Dashboard editor)
Radar - display indicators on cars
Inform the user if something wrong with d3dx9_43.dll
Dashboard - Shift up, low fuel editable threshold
Optionable high priority for LFSLazy when LFS is in foreground
Dashboard - text/indicators draw bounding rectangle
Dashboard - text adjustable width of rectangle and justify
Dashboard - text - update frequency
Dashboard - autoreload textures when change detected

Quote from Kanade :

Daniel, is there a way you could make the automatic high priority optional? It cause me issues with my -pretty poorish- computer.
Thanks.

It is optionable now.

Someone reported same problem on PM. Apparently it was fixed by reinstalling DirectX9 runtime. New version should probably give you move info on error.

Daniel, can you make shift up indicator in GTR custom dashboards to work the same as LFS builtin? I guess that's a lot of work to gather the memory address, so not that a big thing actually

Hi Daniel, nice update. Not sure if anyone else is having the same problem, but this is how i am seeing the Right Indicators on all cars ( Hazard lights are correctly placed ):

This could be wanted , but on XFR, XRR and FZR you can't see the rear indicators on radar:

Nice work. And thank you.

built-in also turns on after certain RPM. Can't you just set something like this?

Fixed right indicator. Rear indicators on GTRs can't be seen because of large wing.

no problem

I heard it is more smart than that -- allegedly it tracks whether you are driving on to or down to some elevation.., but I can't confirm so far, need to test myself, be back later

Lazy wants to update everytime i open it

About 20 builds ago we had the same story

Quote from rosewood2 :

I seem to have an issue with updating LFSLazy.
I ran LFS and after LFSLazy started up, I got a notification that "Lazy - LFSLazy update is available BUILD 66". OK, I update it, but after I supposedly update it, the update window comes back up saying that BUILD 66 is available. I don't understand why the update didn't apply and I'm still on BUILD 65, even though I've "updated" a dozen times.

Ye, we get version 85 instead of 86 when we update, no big worries

This looped update surprised me too

Sorry about that. Update once more and it should be fine.

I've created a problem...
I've installed new system on new HDD and installed LFS and LFS lazy. However, as I did not want to lose my lap records and my settings, I've copied the folders from my previous HDD.
Now it doesn't launch when I start LFS, so I have to do it manually.

How to get it back to launch with LFS again?

EDIT:
Just solved it: "Others" menu, Autostart - install
Will leave this here in case someone else funk this up just as I did

Yes, it is smarter - not just RPM-based. I believe we discussed this (much) earlier in the thread, no?
AFAIK, the built-in uses the "correct" shift point based on the torque curve and knowledge of the gearbox ratios. No idea if it uses a modified torque curve as the altitude varies, but I strongly suspect that the torque curve varies quite a lot with engine restriction and that would be pretty important for the shift points...

Ye, there is something smart going on.

It is easy to spot on the attached setup. Just look at the shift_up lights going from 2 to 3 and 3 to 4 gears.

For now I'll switch to builtin dashboard for GTR then.

I noticed that the right indicator is not sticking to the car.
Happens with both angular and drift radar option.

Car radar just stopped working. I restarted Lazy, LFS, Unchecked-Checked Car radar option and retyped /insim 29999. Everything on lazy is working well, but the car radar not, it does not even show up in gadgets.

Having difficulty getting the dashboard editor open, I remember there was a button under Options (the scroll-wheel menu in-game) but that's gone, and the documentation says to do "/o dash" but that doesn't work either. Anyone able to help?

Open Lazy (system tray) & press CTRL+E (you can also launch it from "OTHER" menu).

Thanks, I'll try that.

Why i never get answer for my issue?

Is there any error message at all?

Did you install or enable any other programs which can interfere with LFSLazy Overlay feature? (Fraps, GeForce Experience, MSI afterburner, etc...)

The problem is that it doesn't show any error messeage, not in lazy not even in lfs. I've got pretty old laptop, so i turn off every unnecessary task. The issue started few days after i started using fanaLEDs for my G29, but if i turn it off, car radar still doesn't show up.

Thanks for answer btw

Hey Daniel,

I just had an idea for the dashboard: since the in game resolution is low, did you tried to render it at twice the resolution and downsample it with a supersampling algorithm ? It may increase quality

Should be fine now

Is dashboard working? Do you see "LFSLazy overlay" in upper left corner of your LFS window when start LFSLazy?

It already does that to some point, but nothing can make it look as good as better resolution.
