Quote from Racon :

What he's doing now is approximating the rig's output as closely as possible within the time constraints that will allow it to be plugged in to LFS.

How do you know?

I am pretty sure this still applies;

Quote from Scawen :

Hi there, we have been working hard, but the tyre physics have not progressed since the January update.

Starting enthusiast. It's great.. But too few of you. This sim needs at least four patches a year to have any chance of survival. Preferably, timed (like quarterly). But it doesn't seem to be possible. Not even two times a year!

Back in the days there was this "patch Friday", now it's a "patch year".. Crazy when you think about it.

The community, or what it is being left of it. Is not being taken seriously. This is the biggest problem.

Quote from THE WIZARD DK :

thank you for contributing Dave

Eeehhhmm .. As usual I speedread your posts.. Not really getting what you try to say there other then "the whole world is evil, put on a tin hat". It's OK, you always will be wizardly special.

Quote from neonmateo :

Haha you aren't wrong Im not big fan of boats btw

Boats? Tito build a bridge in 1980? /me scratches head that I need to explain this to Croatians

Quote from PusicDrift :

Better come to Zagreb

Been there once to try to buy something via njuškalo. Older man tried to hack me (to stay in the spirit of this topic) for about 20 LFS S2 licenses worth of money once we where at the notary. In the end I didn't fall for the trap, old communist corrupt fk it was. * It was a former racing driver by the way! (I don't know exactly what it was but he had a bunch of racing trophies in his garage). Next day I had much more luck with someone from Rijeka which was extremely helpful and kind. Rijeka <3 ... Zagreb bah! Rijeka champions anyway

not really "racers" hah.

Quote from lucaf :

So the eternal question is: how to get ppl join race servers? We need solutions to this question.

The solution to this question is that it is not possible with the current state of this racing simulator.

Quote from neonmateo :

Dave say something on Croatian

Like that proves anything on the internet. Go visit otok Krk and we talk ahaha

Nah.. It's just me having more and more difficulties between switching Dutch, English, German and Croatian on the same day/evening.. I am getting old.. But you quoted a sentence from me and I thought I made a spelling mistake, I was carried away with that in combination with the murder thing...

But hhm racing servers.. I have something on the shelves, but it stays on the shelves until things structurally improve

And.. I am hundred, thousand percent sure that a lot of racing drivers are thinking exactly the same thing about LFS.

My opinion: Definitively not spend too much time on this because indeed its an arms race which even the biggest company's fail to succeed at. Sure there could be some improvements to make it more difficult but licensed people already waiting eight years now for some update on the physics. This has more priority then some 14 year old kids f*in around on some lame cruise or drift server in some illegal environment.

I mean, it's not really racing quality whats out there. As far as I know. (no potential Bottas people).

it's .. than only? Right?

Sorry..

A long time ago I started to get these Youtube content removed but I got too annoying for Google people and they asked if I was/am officially related to LFS. Which I am not.. Sadly the officially related persons fail to establish a good contact with Google/Youtube. I am puzzled why, but hey what can I do.

It's not even a lot of work to claim illegal use copyrighted content :/

Demo / programming help on this forum is a different subject... Maybe demo licensed people should be forum limited as well, not because there is InSim @demo but more because demo is just demo. It will be one more reason to buy a license to have write access to all forums. Not only talking about programming section but some other sections could be more restricted for demo people.

Hey, I was demo myself for some months and not even interested in buying a license until some friend got one and was raving about it. So, I know how it is to be demo [forever and eevverrr].. But there has to be more triggers to buy a license for demo people then only "more tracks and cars".

We are all having a break because the dev(s) are having a break (for the millionth time) but eehh, why is there 'racing' in the title and the first thing in the topic itself is about a cruise server? Confusing

a break.. Ye.. Would match perfectly in this topic hhmm.

I missed this one...

Whahahahaha.. HILARIOUS.. I love it.

No, I stay with my initial one sentence comment. Spot on and no room from time consuming imagination pasibrzuch

I have "mid range" hardware myself and zero problems with CPU usage, since patch J. At that time I brought the CPU usage discussion to the test patch table (together with Abone), thank you very much.

Ye, this was 2015, now its 2017.. It's a test patch thread and the final patch brought massive improvements, one of them the usage of CPU. Look, if you don't follow the progress, it is OK. But it gets a little bit annoying to explain stuff which happened years ago and you failed to attend it.

LFS uses more then one thread/core, end of story. Patch H 12% CPU usage (1/8 = 12%) . Patch J beyond 12%.. If you need screenshots bring money to the table because this is a waste of time. Worst of all.. CPU is no bottleneck anymore since patch J in the current situation so this is a complete total pointless discussion (aka waste of time).

Quote from pasibrzuch :

I don't think so.

You missed a bit of discussion/development in the past I presume.. Better read that first

Here let me help you; https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/87997

Ah it is here.. https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1891181#post1891181

And LFS uses two threads since this patch release, I was there when it happened. Where was you?

Hhmm I think "soft core" do not care about cpu usage. People who do not care about "hard core" racing have no interest in how it can affect the ability to race like an alien. Or just have insufficient knowledge slash notice of the physics and netcode. It's impossible to perform great in a race if a CPU core runs out of resources.

But since J this is not really an issue anymore. For this moment.. But more advanced tire physics require probably more CPU power, there is only one person who knows about this.

LFS already uses multiple cores since.. Eehh.. I think patch G or something.

edit: Oh it was patch J

it's old thread, we go backwards now. Luckily you are expert in backwards..

[...Driving, driving....]

With a car.

But wait.. I was there when internet started :o

Actually it was better before.. Then you had games like Street Rod and Stunts (build your own tracks! 1990 ).. Oh and Death Track (1989).. What happened to all these great developments in the 90s.. Looks like time stood still, or is going backwards.

Quote from Mate2169 :

..should get some love for the interior..

(SORRY if this was asked a lot before)

Hhmmm... No first time I read this, good idea, lets do something about it

Everything is already discussed, for years. Unbelievable how this forum keeps recycling itself..

Less good.. The more open, the more easy people are willing to try. If they need to enter some stairs and be in a closed environment, the less inviting it is.

I think I know the problem...

http://www.lfsworld.net/ <= http://
https://www.lfsworld.net/pubstat/live_progress.php?host=%21B2R+Rotate+GTi <= https:// ! .. this link/popup is somehow https @ http://www.lfsworld.net (non SSL mode)
http://www.lfsworld.net/lfsdesktopjs.php <= http://

It is a security issue.. You cannot run Javascript in two different modes (http and https )

edit; yes... changed to https://www.lfsworld.net and it now works without a problem.

3D monitors run at 120 Hz. I would be interested in this (not VR)
