There are so many things to alter in LFS that will alter the handling in some way or other that it does take time to get personal setups just right, even after 9 years i am constantly doing little adjustments to my wheel config, if you would like some setups that i believe would be stable let me know and il upload some for you

As above it depends on which car you are about to drive regarding wheel degrees setting

Apart from that in Logitech profiler set the FFB to 105 as there is some issue(read a while ago so unless fixed)

Make sure you have the setting Allow Game to Adjust settings
Disable/Uncheck the centering spring in force feedback games
Spring and damper setting to 0

I drive the FBM most of the time and have the steering set to 450 degrees with 0 wheel turn comp and the ingame FFB set to 10 or below also analogue steer smooth set to 0

Quote from chanoman315 :

Of course LFS is not dead, but how can you describe a game that has 8 people online racing (at least in my timezone) when years ago I could go into any well know server and race against 15-20 guys.
Right now even if all the people that go racing online went to a single server you could not fill that server up.

It's sad.

Demo servers fill up pretty quickly if an admins present and there is clean fair racing, daily can be racing on a full server. If i compare lfs online to pcars online or pcars 2 online which are much newer games/sims id say they is either no difference or very little difference in numbers that play online most of the time and if you include the cruise/drift servers then LFS probably has more online

Demo racing as we know can be a disaster if allowed to be but we do try to have admins online as much as possible on the MRc servers and i know the AA servers also do there best to keep there servers clean.

The reason i am mentioning demo to you is it is easy to come to the conclusion of low numbers if only looking at licensed servers but the majority of the time demo can be a lot more active

LFS does need to make some advertising campaign to get itself noticed more, in 2010 i had only found LFS by chance and had not heard of it before, I mention LFS to others on A.C and the majority have not heard of liveforspeed and after they have look they love it and the chance to try before buying a license is a bonus and they see that as confidence that once you have tried it you will buy if its within your means

Quote from Sobis :

Even if I mainly race, do you understand that drifters and cruisers are actually a significant portion of the player base?

Even though a large part of the playerbase is from cruise/drift it needs to be remembered that LFS is a racing simulator and not a drifting/cruise sim/game. Imagine the time it would take to make lfs openworldw which would be time not spent on the important updates that need doing ! At the moment the graphical updates benefits us all so is a win-win

I enjoy drifting and cruise myself at times to wind down so would love an openworld sim but its not a realistic possibility at the moment

2nd video i have seen that you have created and both are really good and well presented nice work

amazing how much improved it looks by the lighting alone. Also flotch nice job on the comparisions

video is awesome, would look good if at the end it then showed some of the cars in some race moments to give the feel of competing against others. Would be an epic video to showcase the cars

Do you have steam VR installed on your system?. Can't quite remember if steamVR used to open when i used to use openVR

Você precisará entrar em contato com os desenvolvedores usando a opção entre em contato no site do lfs

also i believe it may be required to use english in the forums

All is working good for our servers no problems noticed on the MRc servers

great video. Love racing in LFS with my rift

Quote from lucaf :

yea, stupid people exist in every country, also wise people. Lets not create more war, instead lets make some

You always bring warmth to a topic, you seem a cool guy

well for sure the ddos attacks will not have helped any progression. Also for LFS the physics are not the most urgent thing needed. There has been many new things released since 2010 such as the new westhill and rockingham and the new revised blackwood along with VR

the attackers will welcome the attention i guess. Which makes me wonder if at the times of attacks if a pattern of the attackers I.P checking the forum would be present which could point to someone already suspected unless they used a proxy to check

Great job on getting things back online. Its refreshing to see so much support for the dev's and also to be standing together without quarrel. what does not kill us, makes us stronger which is evident here

Quote from rik97 :

For myself the G29 was the better choice because I don't need a H-shifter and a new G29 was almost the same price as a old G27. The wheels are both good but the G29 has more buttons on the wheel.

So it depends on your own choice which one you want.

you lose the buttons on the H-SHIFTER though

Quote from Racon :

I guess if it's not real and we can't read the original, you could put anything you like there. "Look where you're driving!", "dog food made with real cats", etc

That has to be best one to put

Few possibilities including MyKATT cat food from mexico(i think) but would be strange as it would not seem to tie in with the other logos

Another KATT International GmbH.

Quite a few possibilities but none of them seem like the obvious answer

cool thanks

Quote from MicroSpecV :

LOL sorry just caught back up to this thread. Well burnt, Rony.

@awesome Well, if you're not up to speed in terms of skill, no wheel will make you faster than your sidewinder. I listed the DFGT because its a pretty good industry standard - it can do whatever you ask it to do in today's modern sims, really. If you wish to splurge on a G29 or Fanatec, go ahead. But I'm telling you its not worth it right now.

In perspective, if you are just starting out in guitar, you won't jump straight into a 11k Gibson Custom shop Les Paul would you?
With your sidewinder, its kind of like you using your old granddad's guitar from the 90s that's worth 10p - something to get the feels on. Then you make a small, but noticable leap up to something better, like a Epiphone (or DFGT in this case).

If he was 100% certain that he was going to commit to sim racing and obviously had some money to spare then it makes a big difference with a better wheel it just comes down to patience.

Id gone from using a ps3 pad for 5+ years then to a thrustmaster(cheaper 458 italia) and sucked back then onto my g27 and then started to improve but not right away. He would pick a second hand g27 up fairly cheap and a g29 is only cosmetically different as they are practically the same hardware apart from extra buttons on the g29

I was the same when learning to play a guitar, id hear the end result played by someone and wanted to play like that too quickly which then would knock my confidence and make me want to give up

Quote from Aw3som3G4m3rzYT :

how do people expect someone to get better if they're failing to keep themselves on the road or close to the pack?



i sometimes get up at 4 a.m. and practice for a whole 8 hours, for about 3 weeks, and nothing happens
this makes me say "practicing doesn't do sh_t"

Often its trying to hard or too often that may stop you from progressing. Being relaxed and focused helps and the relaxed part is what can be missing. A big part is finding or making a setup that is just right for you. I only recently had managed to get into the 11s on bl2 fbm and that was thanks to a setup i was passed by a team mate,obvious the right driving lines and braking points are important but i had already learnt them from many laps

Relax and keep it fun and be have patience and you will improve

nice vid

certain thrustmaster wheels will use the same driver as an xbox pad apart from the more expensive wheels

have used the rift for quite a while now and did experience this a little at first. LFS + rift is a superb experience overall i must say and in all honesty when i am racing (mostly FBM blackwood historic) i am concentrating that hard on where my car is and the apex of a corner that i rarely notice the microstutter but notice that when someone joins the server it can happen bad
