sorry i've not been back to reply to this thread as i've been to busy playing lfs

the power supply works perfectly!

the next thing i would like to do is clean off the old grease from the gears and fit new grease as it sounds a little loud at the moment, it is second hand so cant moan, everything else works perfectly, i paid £95 in total need to pick up a car seat though, sitting on this chair from the dining room table is doing my back in lol

ok now i have one but i need a power supply for it, the guy who sold me the wheel said that this one will fit it but i'm not sure if the plug is the same, can anyone check for me?

Bttt

happy birthday Victor!

ok i woudl liek some assistance with using the keybaord for the steering to drift, i can do it, it is pretty easy to do BUT!! there is one thing i would like to maybe be added to lfs if this is at all possible! ive not seen an update in ages and the patches used to come out weekly!

whilst the rear end is sliding around the Ks setting tried to help you steer the car so that it will point the wheel in the correct direction of force 'trying' to either get the car to regain full grip and return the car to a straight ahead position,

what i would like to be able to do is set how far the steering help is put at ie from 0% to 100% and to be able to set it within one of the slider in the options/controls menu would be ideal, i would then be able to guide the car with the throttle/gear/rpm/tire temp to then choose which percentage is best to have the slider set at in order for me to drift the car at a steady rate instead of having to keep on 'tapping' on either the left or the right key to turn the front wheels which causes the car to twitch the front wheels.

any ideas or other tips to fix this issue? i want the car at 45 degrees steadily and for the wheels to continue to point in the direction that i am sliding untill i pull the steering back or lower the throttle.

does anyone else understand what i mean?

all is fixed now! i can play for hours in one server and i get no errors cpw or anything back to the world of lfs i go. . . . .

it was due to my internet being tethered!

In one of the config files change the 'windowed 0' to windowed 1' then 'file save exit' run lfs change the screen to 1024x768 32 bit see if it will actually let you do this for gameplay.. if not then we will go t further lengths to get your lfs running!

Another thing! Can you download and install the newest chip set drivers for your motherboard, don't worry if you've done this already 'i want you to do it again! Also download and install the newest drivers for your graphics card uninstalling any software from within control panel first which have been put there for graphics utilities.

Once the chipset is installed and the graphics drivers make sure you leave the settings at defaul. (For testing)

Restart you PC and enter BIOS restoring all settings to default, just change the boot sequence to boot from the hdd that your windows system is on.

Give lfs a go at all the default settings! It 'should' work!

Download a complete new install of lfs from the main website installing it in a new folder different from the old one if it still won't load! Let me know what happens.

Default settings for everything is the key!

What hardware do you have?

ok i think i have cured the problem!

as you know i wasn't causing any troubles with other members of the lfs community, that can be ticked off your list!

i was using the online servers whilst tethering through my android phone so the connection was not happy and very weak and unstable.

i have now signed up to talktalk and am using it now as it has gone live

the problem i have now is i had done a complete fresh install of windows 7 onto my pc which is more than capable of running lfs and windows 7 quite happily but when i went to put in my s2 username and password my username is not found online so i cant even unlock my s2 license for offline game play!

i can send proof from speedtest.net giving the speed of the net whilst tethering and i can give it now whilst im at home and using the broadband supplied by talktalk.

i have been through 21 days of a 30 day online ban 9 days are left im just wondering if someone from lfs will remove my ban for me if i provide proof from speedtest.net?

any help would great!!

I drift the xrt with the d-pad so my settings are different from racing.

i use the d-pad because using the small analogue stick to steer is no where near as good as using a wheel, the cars steering has no feel to it even with the mouse, how do people drive with that? the wheels just point any where they want with no 'feel' or force feedback at all. using the d-pad means i can set the left and right buttons to work the keyboard stabilized option to steer it left and right, i can limit the steer in a fast turn so it wont over steer and with a drift it will counter steer for me

im usign a ps3 controller but i use buttons and the d-pad.

you can in the lfs game settings change the throttle axis from combined to seperate.

Quote from Yuri Laszlo :

Also, try running a test here http://pingtest.net/

Satellite connections tend to have very high latencies (measured in miliseconds, anything above 150~200ms is a matter of concern), which can fool the game into thinking you're crashing all over the place and ban you for it.

If that's your problem (and I believe it is), your only way is to find a reliable internet connection or stick to servers that do not feature automatic bans for eratic behaviour.

pingtest kept crashing on me and giving errors like 'cannot connect to server' it did once and got 183ms ping.

thanks for the positive response and i shall be looking into having the phone line connected up to the net in my new flat, only moved in a couple of weeks ago so will get it setup as soon as

ok thanks i'll do that and then upload my replay.

i did upload the temp.mpr as that's what i thought it was saved at but after the disconnection from the server 'my' mpr is not saved.

ok right i still keep getting these bans and sorry to jack for not getting back to you about the meet, send me a private message to arrange one tonight after 9:30 will be ok,

victor, i can assure you it is not behaviour problem, i also saved a multi player replay of me drifting and then i get disconnected without me acting like a child or doing anything i shouldn't! i can send you the replay if it puts your mind at ease? i still get given a 2 week punishment though for a game i paid for???

i had uploaded the temp file for the reply but its not the right one! once i'm banned from a server i can't hit number 2 to save the replay!

the annoying thing is i have a hard day at home looking after my 2 year old son being a single parent so i chill out in the evening playing my favourite game and i get banned for weeks or a month through no fault of my own!

it's also not as if i'm new the game and keep crashing because i have no practice!

it's also not as if i have made a complaint about this happening once it's a constant thing so you would think the 1st 30 day ban would of given me enough punishment if i was even doing something that i shouldn't!

my guess is the phone tethering is causing it but i still have not heard of a way to test the internet connection or use some kind of logging on the pc to show data use/packet loss or even disconnections, any ideas on a bit of software that can log the data use in a graph?

i've done a fresh install already, i have no mods, i drive in servers without mods, i have no mods installed, i do not drive the wrong way, i do not make other people crash, i have raced with a guy from sweden and he didnt mention any problems with my lagging or skipping across the track suddenly, feel free to make a server for me to join to see if i lag but i can't actually join because of the LFS 30 day ban!

this is beyond a joke now! haven't been able to play due to a 30day online ban through no fault of my own and no mods have been willing to resolve the issue!!

I have used all of them servers.. My son esnt use my pc,

i will try to email the server hosts and see whats happened as i dont get anywarning of a ban and i dont see it neccesary to be banned, i was also with someone else driving when it happened, i can probably contact him and ask him to speak on to say that i am no trouble in the servers, if it helps, it really isnt because of me that this is happening :s

Escuse.me???? I dont see what i've done wrong here, i have a fresh lfs installed i pay for my game, i have no mods, i use the servers correctly and dont cause any trouble, if you come here to insult then pi$$ off, im a genuine guy that plays live for speed once my son has gone to bed so i get some time to rest!

On a serious note regarding the technical issue, is there a log file kept on my pc which may be of any help on the issue? Please only reply if you can help, thank you!

i've got another one coming!

Hello daveb948576,

It has come to our attention that you have been banned on LFS servers more than a few times lately.

We must warn you that if you keep being banned, we will issue you with a temporary ban of 30 days, from all LFS online activity.

Regards,

Live for Speed
