This might be old news, and it most proberly burried deep in LFS forum somewhere, so thought I would bring this up as I have just done this.

If you purchase a NKPro License, currently priced at £3.49 (or €3.99) not only do you get a license for the full NKPro, but you are able to try the Tech Demo for Kunos Simulazioni- Assetto Corsa

What a BARGIN!!!!! for less than a pint of beer

Almost have it working (SoftTH). I brought a cheap GFX card so now I get 2 monitors on LFS (The one on the left and the centre one) but not the one of the right, although SoftTH detects all screens.

Now updating drivers, so will see how we go

WTF am I doing wrong, nothing that you mention is working, I have tried all the above, and nothing, just a single screen, the only thing that works is windowed and stretching it, it must be me

Is it a limitation for onboard dual GFX display?? Remember I am using Intel onboard GFX dual here, VGA and DVI-D

Quote from luchian :If you delete this config, put the 3 files I've sent you on the LFS folder, does it ask you to auto-create a config file the first time you launch it ? Yes it does
If it does, it is a problem of config file.
If it doesn't, it is a problem of dx converter.

Also, make sure anti-aliasing is disabled form the graphic card's driver. YES IT IS
And last (just to be sure ), not all the views in LFS are rendered on multiple screens (cockpit is, of course).

ok attached is the view I get from stretched (my settings, to when I do Shift F4.)

The three files in your zip file are the two DX files and a enbconvertor.ini file, there is no config file.

Lets give you all a laugh.

Two pictures are Old View and New View

So if you see me online, I am learning my new view so please bare with me ROFL

Also, if anybody knows how to get LFS working on 2 screens full window, not stretched, let me know. I tried Softth and cannot get it working. The stretched view doesn't look to back on this new PC (tried it on old PC) so will stick with it

Cheers

Quote from Bmxtwins :uhmmm... you should do triples it would be epic

How would I do that, when I only use a Intel onboard HD GFX which has VGA out and DVI-D out. Problem is the centre screen is 20" wide LED, and the right had screen in 19" Wide LED (Different Resolutions)

I tried Dual screen, but the only way was to stretch LFS across both monitors which looked aweful.

Any tips, greatfullly received

Quote from Jatimc :This is what i use.

What comes to wheel options i use 900 at game and 450 720 580 at windows control panel depending what car i use (G25).
Wheel turn compensation 0.00 and FFB 0-15...
If you use these wheel settings you can feel car much better. Some drivers use 200- 270 deg. every car but imo its not real, and feels kinda lame. only benefits is that you can react more quicker on car behaviour.
Allso im trying to drive without wheel and driver at cockpit view. Feels super good ;p

Thank you for detailed settings, i shall give them a bash

Quote from Flame CZE :I have been using cockpit view since I first played LFS. And recently, I tried lowering my FOV from 90° to around 70° and I am still gradually going lower with it.

You lose the sense of speed but you should better judge the distance along with other advantages, when you get used to it.

It also depends how large your screen is (and its aspect ratio) and how close to the monitor you sit. The further you have your monitor from you, the less FOV you need to compensate. I think there are some calculators for optimal FOV on the Internet, but they usually output very low angles, so you will have to adjust it for your preference anyway.

I would say my monitor is 1/2 foot away from me and am running 1600x900 on a 20" widescreen

Hi Guys,

I was just wondering, what "in car / cockpit view" do you use, I.e FOV ( There Storm, Nilex I said it correctly tonight ) and other settings.

I only ask, as after 11yrs of using wheel view with FOV of 120 ( I liked the sence of speed ) I have changed to cockpit view.

This is my setting currently, and I think its pretty close to the real thing, but with so many racing drivers here and alien drivers, just wondered what do you use??

Cheers

Yeah tried that mate, I actually added the files when LFS was closed

Is it a Windows 7 file Protection problem?

The DDS attachment is what my DDS file is
the JPEG is what I see when I load LFS

DDS not showing

Firstly I apologise if this has been posted before, I have searched and I cannot find why.

I have recently added new DDS files ( Cromowheel, brake disc's etc etc ) to my DDS folder and when I load LFS, the default ones are showing?

Anybody help me out here why. Yes I overwrote the orginal files, and when I open them is PSP they display the new file

Cheers

Correct me if I am wrong here as you all know...I am no racing driver but....

If "she was fully passed you" and turned in, wouldn't of you saw her rear wing and not the side of the car

Again, this is clearly "not leaving enough room"....like she did at Silverstone and she gets away scott free...oh my days

Was the Clerk of the Course related by any chance Oh and watch her getting out of the car....yeah she "really" hurt her knee didn't she

Hi Guys,

Had a play with and added a few objects that I think will help us people that don't know the layouts. Also on AS22R I closed off the other pitlane that was left open. Also added a few object on FE25, again to help drivers

See what you think, and feel free to use them on the Trophey Server
