Lerts, do you understand the concept of a shadow?

Also, do you believe that there are torches that can emit shadow instead of light?

1 More Idea,not everyone know what a Camber changes,we need also a "?" Button with a Short Description

Cannot agree with that. Not saying it would be bad, but this is in the realm of investing coding-time in something that the user can very well find out for himself.

For example:
a) http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Basic_Setup_Guide#Camber, or
b) just play with the slider and you can actually see what it does on the car

Besides that, as a newcomer you should have a look at the manual before changing random settings, and if you can't be arsed to do that, then tweaking the setup is out of question anyway

I wasn't criticising you for the suggestion, merely expression frustration/confusion as why we don't have this in LFS yet, after all those years.

I cannot see any technical complications at all. You just need a multiline textbox to enter the notes and save whatever the user entered at the end of the setup file.

If the user is given a very generous 3500 chars to store info, then the setup file still wouldn't need more than 4kb on the disk (considering a default cluster size of 4k) so disk space preservation clearly isn't an issue. Sending setups cannot possibly be a problem either, since for example downloaded skins have an about 1000 times bigger size than a setup file right now. Just within a few seconds of being connected you have more data transfer than these meagre 4K, and you could still simply omit the note text if including it in the sent setup is for whatever reason not wanted.

I have honestly no idea why this isn't implemented yet. Maybe Scawen just doesn't see how useful it would be.

What can I say... this has been requested since I can remember posting on the LFS forums (so 2003-ish, back then on RSC). We still don't have this feature that cannot possibly take more than 1 hour to implement

Wow, that can only mean that the .iso file was mostly empty though. I can also make a several gig text file just containing "0" over and over and when you compress it it will be < 1KB, simply because you can write it as "1000000000 times the character 0" (aka run length encoding, one of the simplest compression methods available).

^ Nope, with the latest patch LFS actually makes the clutch bite at about 60% of clutch travel. Using DXTweak to achieve a realistic bite point is not necessary any more.

Granted, I'm not particularly fussed about what the outsiders think - I linked to that thread more for the general discussion inside. What I don't understand is why this abysmal thread is still open while others are closed for much less. Maybe I'm just annoyed because this thread has shown me again how a few people can make this place look like absolute shit. And I'm not talking about the humorous responses which this crappy thread certainly deserves.

Wow, this thread does sure bring up the finest crop of this forum. Guys, it's obvious the OP is either ignorant or a troll, but some of the responses here are far worse than the topic post. "Go buy S2", "idiot", "noob" just to name a few. Every time something like this happens it drags down the image of the whole LFS community.

Maybe read that thread again and activate your brain a bit before posting next time. Also this.

Is it so hard to write down what the actual bug is, instead of forcing everyone potentially affected to watch the replay?

And you needed someone to tell you this?

Hey wait, maybe that works.

Face your insanity to overcome it.

Go to the garage and click on the "Car" button on the right.

Actually "too late" will not cause a problem

If it confuses 3rd with 5th then that is a problem with the shifter though, not with LFS.

Maybe you're simply mis-shifting? If you release the clutch too early or don't depress it enough altogether, then the new gear won't engage and you're stuck in neutral. Your stick is obviously still in the position of the wanted gear, so from the game's point of view it's still like you're applying pressure to get the virtual stick into gear, all that is needed at that point is depressing the clutch enough for the transmission to unload which allows the gear to engage. You only don't notice it as mis-shifting because LFS doesn't play the ugly grinding noise you'd hear at that point in a real car, nor does it model any transmission wear or damage yet.

Turn down analogue steer smooth (Options > Misc).

It seems you're easily distracted by buttons. Just run the extractor again, but this time restrain yourself from immediately pressing the "Extract" button but take a few seconds to note the install directory directly above aforementioned button. Then you can place your cursor over the "Cancel" button and go hog wild!

Congratulations, you have just found out the install directory! Now you can navigate to it by using a marvellous tool called Explorer™ and double click (that's two fast clicks, ©Microsoft) on the file called "LFS.exe", or just "LFS" if you configured your system to not display file extensions. After that, thanks to the magic of bits and bytes, the application "Live for Speed - online racing simulator" will start up and allow you to explore the mysteries of online competition.

For further questions, please consult the LFS Manual.

Thank you for your attention,

Did you download the full version Z? Just installing the Z patch into a folder is not enough.

They better ban all computer games quickly, or it will happen again! Also books mentioning war or guns should be banned and subsequently burned. Then jam all TV stations and we can finally live a happy life in flowery sunshine world :hippy:

Hibernation is known to have caused problems with LFS unlocks in the past. It's not from my own experience - I'm just reiterating what Scawen said.

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=165231#post165231

Are you using hibernation mode? If so, do a full reboot of your system and then unlock LFS. When the system was started from the hibernation mode and LFS unlocked at that point, then it sometimes screws with the unlocking mechanism and it resets every time you boot again.

I haven't created coloured buttons myself, but the way I interpret it is that you should use the lowest three bits - C1, C2 and C4 - to create any of the colour values listed below. Just combine them with a bitwise OR like this:

// colour 0 : Nothing
// colour 1 : C1
// colour 2 : C2
// colour 3 : C1 | C2
// colour 4 : C4
// colour 5 : C1 | C4
// colour 6 : C2 | C4
// colour 7 : C1 | C2 | C4

+ of course any of the other bitflags you need.
