Quote from Becky Rose :

It's my feeling that being both the author of LFSC and a major league organiser I have become something of a target and too prominent in the LFS community so i'm lowering my profile and canning LFSC. It's a crap program anyway and doesnt work half the time. There will be no more updates.

I may release standalone tools in the future, but I have no desire to complete the feature list on this project for the sum reward of falling out with other forum members and making myself a target for abuse.

Very sorry to hear that. I love your program and never start LFS without it. I have even given up my Pitspotter addiction as a result . Don’t let negative comments put you off. Just look at any other post, the negative comments are always the loudest. People, like me, who really appreciate the work you put into such mods don’t post as much about how great a program/mod is compared to ppl who post negative issues, and maybe we should . You are a talented programmer and a valuable asset to the community. I feel a lot of racers would be disappointed by the abandoning of this fine project

Nice addon, cheers

BK was a good choice

This was metioned before by Deggis in a DTM thread I think, but I figured it would be nice to post it here for anyone who is unaware of its existence

Quote from tiagolapa :

LFS Car engine volume option seams to act like master volume when i turn it down, skids and crash sounds go down too
Anyone else with the same problem??

Yes, this is an issue with LFS itself. You'll just have to balance the volumes for now.

Great work Yamakawa, cheers for the editor

You will be missed m8. I think every one who has done tech support/helpdesk work can appreciate how repetitive and some times how frustrating it can become. You have been a great PR guy for LFS and a real friend to the community. Good luck in whatever it is your are moving on to.

Dont be a stranger

ooooh, that looks sweet. cant wait to play with it

oohh nooooes , quick sell it on EBay lol

reminds me of that Penn & Teller "Bull****" episode.

check it out, its on Google video. Search: Penn and Teller Signs from heaven
do not watch if easily offended.......

Im still using the Squash Ball mod for my brake pedal. not exactly force feedback but hey, its better than nothing.

I like the FZ5, would like to see more servers using it. i dont really dislike any car in LFS, there are just some i need more practise at.

The one thing that always catches me out with the FZ5 is how long it takes the damn thing to stop. Back straight on BLGP: start braking at 250m, "hmm this isnt working"....mash down harder yelling "Stoooooooooppppp!!!!"

Great work Yamakawa, FZR & BF1 sound awsome. The only thing that bothers me is the need to mix the sound with the original LFS car sound to be able to hear tyre sounds etc. It just sounds "off" to me. If only we had a slider for turning down only the engine sound. I understand there is nothing you can really do about this, so keep up the good work m8

Would be great if Scawen could include and engine volume slider in the upcomming patch.

I just started learning max and I have a couple of questions regarding LFS renders.

1. How come when I import a .cmx into max I can see, in the shaded preview, the proper textures on the model eg. lights, number plates etc. Even thoughI have not assigned the textures yet?

2. Why do people use Brazil over default scan line renderer or Mental Ray renderer? I followed a tutorial using Brazil for importing and creating a CMX render and while it does look very good, I was wondering would it not be possible to achieve the same results given enough knowledge of setting up the other built in renderers?

cheers

i just started getting into skinning and texturing and i think i got the hang of it

heres my first quick little creation, a slotted and drilled brake rotor...

thanks, these are nice

i thought it was cool

I seem to be having some trouble trying to get Companion to work with PitSpotter. The Companion radio sounds and backfires work fine, but pit spotter only annouces the postion of a car ocasionaly and not at the right times either.

I have setup the insim relay to port 29999.

Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

When you where testing it with Pitspotter Becky, did it work normally for you?

ps loved new version, cheers

one of things that put me off trying other driving sims (besides LFS fan boys) is the graphics, a lot of them look very "grainy". This, however, seems to be nice and clean graphicaly, like LFS. Will be looking forward to a demo of this.

yep.. "Roasted" :bananadea:cookiemon

Quote from Becky Rose :

• Number Pad hooks to request specific information over the radio such as current position, gap to car ahead/behind, laps remaining, predicted fuel range and so on.

I like the sound of that. Pit spotter compatibility would also be most welcome.
Keep up the good work.

Shameless Plug : It is not a mod but a racing sim utility - What about FFShifter ?
http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=214673

Yes yes, excellent tool FFShifter, I use this all the time (now how about an update? )

and Pit Spotter (anything that can increase chances of surviving T1 on Public servers is more than welcome IMO)

and Kegty's Smoke Mod (more smoke/dust = better )

Yeah, I think that was what got most people into a tizzy

Might have been a mistake to say that. Given the rabid enthusiasm of LFSers :something

myself included...

ty for the heads up Victor

I love the sound of the RAC , Ill agree at high revs it does get kind of weak though. LX4 sounds great too, and MRT

Worst? hmmm prolly RB4, sounds so lifeless.

Thats pretty cool.

I like the Banger track that is being used at the moment, but i would love to see some of the old Banger layouts make a come back. Racingsimfan, you had a nice layout i recall, maybe the organizers of the new banger racing could get some of these other layouts .

There was one particularly good one that went to the out skirts of the BL carpark, was a great layout, not sure who made that one though..
