looks great thanks

Looks great, looking forward to release.

I never remember the GTi being able to use Road super. I voted no because I understand the Standard road cars are supposed to be standard. But I also like Tweaker's idea. When I played around with Slick Mod a while ago the TBOs where great fun with grippy tires.

Sweet interview, thanks. Very nicely put together, with the vid and audio. Great to hear the voice of Victor

Just a heads up to the Rigs of Rods fans.

Quote from richo :

I dont want to sound like an arsehole but tell me where else do you pay in advance for an unfinished product and then wait for some amount of time for it to come out of alpha, beta etc etc,

I think you'll find there are very many games that are released claiming to be post beta/finished products, when they clearly are not. EA and BF2 as a prime example. patch after patch released to fix issues with very basic, core parts of the game.

Armed Assault is another game that was released unfinished and the developers openly admit it. I do like Arma and have never had issues with it, just pointing out that other companies do do it and most try to act like they aren't doing it.

I don't see any screen shots

Cant say Ive noticed hugely weird looking cambers, I have seen some pretty extreme cambers being used in racing though. I have always wondered why people in LFS use such high ride height settings on the GTR cars though.

I don't know if the server is this way all the time (it was when I joined), but I think you would get more drivers if midrace join was enabled

Since getting LFS I have never bothered even trying another race sim, this makes me glad I never have. People give out about LFS graphics, I played this at 1600x1200 all details maxed and I still prefer the clean smooth look of LFS. Same for the sound, worse than LFS imo. And the handling? didn't like the constant rumble in the wheel and the FFB in general didn't feel good. Never tried the multiplayer.

Not too bad for free I guess, not my cup of tea though.

Sorry for the OT, but Hankstar, thats the sweetest avatar i've seen in ages

try not to post race results in thread titles

I dont get to watch the races 'till acouple of days after the event. cheers

1st race was good except for the nasty crashes. 2nd race was also entertaining. Good to see Thompson up the front again

Well coincidently, I found a tool that actually does help you calibrate your mouse in windows that I never knew about .

select run and enter "mousinfo"

not sure if this is only for intellipoint.

Quote from Tweaker :

What the hell!!!?!?!?!? Where did that one come from.... I never saw that one to vote for EVER. Never saw any of Linsen's skin... dammit!! I surely wouldve voted for that

cant you change your vote ?

Quote from Victor :

Voting is over!

The best 10 LX4 and best 10 LX6 are now visible on the main page of the skincompetition website http://competition.lfs.net/lx_skinning/

We LFS devs will now make the final selection of the winning skins.

Sweet skin, good work

This is a great idea, good job devs ,

Quote from pvdrift :

once again, how does everyone on here make there cars pictures look so clean and un choppy

Mostly its because of the resolution the skin was created at. That last skin I made was at 2048x2048. Also, using vector graphics as much as possible for logos and decals helps very much (if you can find them).

Heres a new skin I made. Im pretty happy with how it turned out,

I too have this wheel and would also be interested in knowing what settings other owners are using.

Giannic: If you have calibrated it in LFS and its still steering wonky, there may be something wrong with the wheel. I am only able to calibrate mine in LFS as the old crappy sidewinder software was never updated to be used with XP32/64. I use XP64 and it just works, I cant access the sidewinder controlpanel, but I have never needed to as I can always just set it up in LFS.

Quote from thestig99 :

This is relevant to my interests.

How exactky is it set up? You have two wheels, ignore one and use the other. With the pedals you stick the both wherever. Plug both wheels into the PC, and one in for Force Feedback. Then you go into LFS and map the clutch onto an axis made by the new pedals.

Something like that?

Yes, its very intuitive. Just hook up every cotroller you want to use, then load lfs and assign every thing from there. At the moment i use:
1. MSFFB Wheel
2. Generic wheel for clutch
3. MSFFB joystick for H shifter
4. Saitek X52 for all other controls like vote/Pit setup/tyres etc
