Is Facebook still a thing yes?

I am in the process of getting myself removed from there. It's dead.

Quote from theblackrabbi :able to create a server

Uh-hu

Sigh..

I once had wheel problems because I had an USB connector which had voltage instabilities / was distorted. The reason for that was a cheap chinese general power supply on my laptop. Weird, but true story. Took me some time to figure out it was the power supply -> USB port causing the problems because I was not racing on the same day as I replaced the PSU.

Anyway, otherwise it sounds like a hardware failure / broken wire to me. Return to the store or throw it back on the streets if you found it on the streets.

It's better then textfiles (the manual doesnt correspond in any way to the last versions of Airio, he had no time to write/update an extended manual). It's SQlite. Well.. It can be SQlite, lets say it like that. The person who runs the InSim can specify to use textbased or SQlite. I needed this at a later stage because the collected data on the CG servers became so huge that even a heavy processor / memory sorting couldnt handle it anymore.

Quote from lucaf :The next step

Exactly.. Glad you understand this! Not only that but you/he is forced to start tracking again what is going on with 'his child'. It's not good, this community has given him so much negativity that it started to affect his private life. Maybe similar to what happened with CTRA and what Eric is experiencing. You need to be some sort of assh. and/or ignorant to other people to be able to function here Taped Shut Wink

Ye but thats the thing.. You dont need to do anything, I have a Verizon Moto Z Force, connected to the awesomely slow German mobile phone network (O2, worse you cannot get), Wifi tethered, no problem, instantly working.

Did you tried USB tethering already? Phone attached to computer with USB? Is there some security software running on the phone?

If yes then I am out if suggestions. Oh, try a phone of a friend. Maybe some other network. Narrowing down the problem is nice to do.

Quote from Sobis :So he's basically holding the code for himself? That sucks :/.

No that is what you make of it, he simply doesn't want to have anything to do with this community anymore. Not today, not tomorrow and also not next month or next year. Selling or giving anything has as consequence he gets sucked into this sick environment again and this is not desired. He has a fine job and private life, doesn't need this dark whining kid environment anymore.

So either LFS Lapper or even better (because it is open source) KingTracker I see as good alternatives. You can do everything you want concerning race tracking and managing with those tools.

The lag detection of Airio is not good by the way. It is using the LFS InSim information (CCI_LAG), which is too slow and/or too unreliable to be of any use.

Yes. And he is not interested.

Do you have the "Data saver" option turned off on your phone?

Quote from theblackrabbi :
I'm sure that I need to open ports just as I had to do every other time I installed this game.

Should not be needed. Where do you want to open them anyway, you have no router. You have a phone.

You don't need to "open any ports" when you want to join a server. There is not sufficient information to be of any assistance.

Quote :Maybe u not allowed to use UDP by your ISP.

Maybe this is applicable in your situation. Your mobile network provider might block UDP to counteract torrenting on mobile networks.

People do idiotic things on a mobile network. Mobile networks are not designed for heavy usage. When I would be mobile network provider I would definitely make some blockades to kill over-usage of the network. You give very little information about your situation, the less information, the less help can be given.

Attitude towards America?

Huh? This escalated quickly Big grin ..

Quote from theblackrabbi :we are better, richer, smarter, and well just all around nicer.

Hilarious. Smile

Let me know when you find the problem. Like I tested today, you do not need to open any port. Works out of the box, even with an USA phone. Tongue .. Maybe when you trigger me enough I make a video of it, because skills are endless.

To get back on "the problem". 5 years ago I was able to join my servers with a tethered phone I now remember, must have been very far ahead in time. Didn't have to do anything.

And just now I had a great idea! I have a new phone (coincidentally a USA Verizon phone hahaha) .. Shared my data connection with Wifi tethering to my Windows 10 64 bit laptop. Started LFS and instantly connected without any problem to some random MRC server. So...

You know what I think is the problem? That you could not care less.. It's karma. Good luck with finding the problem but it is not LFS. Its you and or your stuff.

Quote from theblackrabbi :it's 2017 and there are high speed internet connections on phones now.

Due to the nature of antennas, transmission, signal collisions, users and over-demand (because of the so called "unlimited" data (which is not really true)), no, it's not really high -quality-. Cell phone networks are always slower then wired networks, if it is 2017, 2020, or 2050.. Doesn't matter.

Tethering with a mobile phone is damn ass cheap, not surprised that it gives problems. But, as usual, the problem is elsewhere not by the person itself. That is 2017.

Hmno, I am not so sorry for those other games either. The problem is with LFS that if you have a bad connection you mostly are annoying to other people, it doesn't affect yourself that much. With other games, especially shooting games you think multiple times before you go multiplayer with a crappy connection.

Help yourself and get a decent wired connection. Are those prices so high in the USA for such a service?

I guess not, you are only able to change to TCP mode after connection to a server.

Mobile networks are not really great for gaming (high latency) so I am feeling not so sorry that you cannot get it to work. Just get a landline, much better.

Yup..

Quote from MKRYDR : Police sirens!

That is what you make of it. Since patch N by the way. Had something to do with a virtal keyboard for VR not working. And you try to rape this as a reason to backup your own suggestions. Bad idea.

Anyway.. It's not going to happen, keep on talking.

Thermal camera footage. Yes.. That was pretty hot to see... Massive cooldown and heatup of tires.. Much different then the LFS system where it takes 15 years to cool the tires down when they got overheated.

No, racing cars do not have smoke from the exhaust. An engine only smokes when it is poorly tuned or being cold. In racing this doesn't happen, because a poorly tuned engine is a waste to race with.

Some less common website languages but no German (or Spanish).

Why is this? Does Victor needs more translators? I expect that this would give less problems for new people buying licenses if there would be more language options. (At least the top10 most spoken world languages).
