Speaking of servers... I got an idea! Stay tuned guys!

This sounds interesting!

Do you mean more like public racing? Then there is B2R doing something for that which comes for your needs

Yes, pretty much!

Tbh, some of the public servers are crazy, eventually got back online last night after 6+ years away and it was absolute carnage.

at the same time I have work commitments so I don't want to commit to to much.

Just a bunch lads who meet up for some competitive racing that's it!

Nothing that I have to overly commit too... not set dates/times!

Hi All,

I know this discussion has come up multiple times but eh, have to ask!

Not looking to join any teams right now as I don't have as much time as I did 10 years ago when I first joined!

Basically, would be very interested in maybe joining some of you guys online in order to get some decent racing.. not looking at any leagues for the time being, just a couple of hours to pass a couple evenings during the week.

Anyone have anything going that I could join? I'm far from fast, but I know the rules!

Cheers,
Kev

Should also be "Old players say hi here"

Good idea, the old age pensioners of sim racing!

Likewise, back after a long break.

Looking back at old posts is so cringey

resolved

I see your handbrake is set to 'axis' when it should be a button... I wonder if your steering thinks it is the handbrake?

Thanks for your help, unfortunately it didn't change.

looking at the range, it appears to be set at 1000 which I believe means that it's fully applied, tried to change the value to -1000 but no luck.

Is there a way I can reset to default?

Once again, many thanks for all your help.

I'm the only person capable of doing something so stupid - no really, thanks! will give it a go this evening!

Please see attached screenshot.

it appears that throttle/brake axis are always on, no function of wheel either.

Help is greatly appreciated.

Yes - exactly.

nothing seems to work, paddles, peddles or wheel rotation but in settings the wheel is detected. pedal axis also appears to work in settings.

Thank you for the reply

Hello,

going to revisit this again, having the same issue.

Wheel is detected, but I don't have any functions. when I start it's like the throttle is stuck open without any functionality.

When I go to settings the functions appear to work for example peddles are detected.

I'm the biggest noob when it comes to this so please be patient!

Cheers,
K

Welcome

Finally upgraded to S3 myself

Quote from Racer X NZ :

This is an attempt to be legal here.

Second hand is probably your only legit choice now, allegedly Games Planet have it but it doesn't seem to be listed, at least I can't find it.

The IP: Get a comfy chair as this is a bit long.
"IP: This was developed by Warthog Studios. Warthog was sold to Gizmondo, along with the IP for RBR. The game was released on the Gizmondo by the developer "Gizmondo Studios Manchester". Gizmondo went out of business, and Carl Freer, founder of Gizmondo, claimed to have purchased Gizmondo's IP assets from the liquidation of the company. I assume the owner of the IP is Carl Freer if he is telling the truth (if you know anything about Carl Freer and his Gizmodo partner Mikael Ljungman, than you know this is a BIG if).

Publishing rights: SCI Games owned the publishing rights, and was the publisher for both the PC release from Warthog Studios and the Gizmondo release from Gizmondo Studios Manchester. SCI Bought Edios and released all games as Edios from that point, then Square-Enix bought Edios (SCI). The terms of this publishing deal is unknown, but I would assume the publishing rights probably have expired and there is no holder of publisher rights for RBR at this time.

Car / personality rights: No one is privvy to these deals either, and I really don't know how they normally work. My assumption is that the cars were licened to be used in the game, and if there were to be a new publisher, they could publish the original game without having to relicense."

So, no one seems to know who actually owns it or if the 'Richard Burns' and the cars IP rights are still valid.

Still here ?

This is Richard Burns Rally 2016, it has a set of inbuilt mods and plays really well.

Try it and see what you think.
I'd posted this as a Xmas pressy a few posts ago on this thread.

EDIT: The subreddit has some great conversations on mods, getting it running etc.

Thank you sir

Anyone know where to get a copy of this and what mods I should get?

Looking on youtube earlier and seen some of the 2017 mods... I openly admit I'm such a noob when it comes to this so anyone willing to hold my hand?? would be greatly appreciated!

At option > controls select wheel / joystick

And make a profile for lfs in profiler

Thank you!

having the giggles looking at my previous posts above.... 2006!

Afternoon folks,

Having issues with my wheel, only recently back on LFS.

The wheel itself is detected but I can't assign any buttons i.e trottle to peddle axis. it's still recognising the mouse as the main control.

any help is greatly appreciated!

Happy New year

Quote from BeNoM :

I've found (with the help of this community) most of the hidden tracks and places in this game, at this point it's quite boring. (Here's my post about it: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/88889)

"Shame really, really enjoyed it previously before!"

Pretty much, the devs destroyed their own playerbase and most of the community so it'd be nice if they actually released the tyre physics and Scirocco and maybe get back the community we once had.

For me, it's not so much the content - It's the lack of real racing!

LFS itself is now outdated, Rfactor and Iracing are leagues ahead now!

Quote from BeNoM :

"How in god's name has it gotten so bad? "

Because of no new content for the game...

No one wants to pay 12 pounds just for 1 track, everyone waited years for Rockingham + Scirocco + Tyre physics, but never ended up getting them so they left.

Shame really, really enjoyed it previously before!

LFS is dead unfortunately.. I couldn't wait to get back on after been "offline" for a few years.

How in god's name has it gotten so bad? know one is interested in racing.. TC cruise server? what is this crap?

I noticed alot of the old folks have left.. which would say alot. I played for 10 minutes and pretty much deleted it again.

S3 no thank you!
