Quote from Bladerunner :LFS is still fine, but a bit slower on Vista (x64) than XP ... only ~70fps instead of 150fps+

"a bit" ? illepall

That reminds me of my Lego racetrack I once built, inspired by Grand Prix 2.

Ah yes, Bleam that is. Looks like I confused those two, sorry.

This song is from a demo where some people are walking up a slope to a mysterious castle tower (?). That's where the coughing comes from.

I'm against it. Everybody should be able to explain himself how he wants to. If that swearing is combined with rough behaviour, you can still kick him manually. Or did any of you see a racedriver getting a penalty because of swearing on the pit radio?

Then correct it, please.

Quote from amcrambler :you need to [..] do math to figure out how much to pay

Hehe, that's the first 'noob protection' to keep them off ruining the S2 servers.

'Live for Speed - the only racing game you have to do math to play it'.


To be honest, I get quite a few e-mails from Germans who ask what license they have to buy as well as some people who bought the wrong one (like paying only 18 euro or 54 euro for S1 + S1 + S2).

I don't know about the bug, but you can choose which monitor LFS uses by opening card_cfg.txt with an editor an editing the number behind 'Adapter Select'.

If you're sure that it's "not a big stretch" to make it work, why don't you do it yourself?

Asking for help is ok, but demanding support from someone who made the script for free isn't fair.

Yes, you need the latest version V to load the current setups.

P.s. Welcome to LFS, have fun!

All new Intel Macs can run Windows and LFS natively. There is really no need for a MacOS X port of LFS.

Quote from Scawen :OK, I think the simple solution is for the restarter program to ask you if you want to restart LFS.

I'll test it, although I think that the problem could be solved without the restarter asking you. It's nice that the whole update process is so fast now without any dialog boxes and it wouldn't be good to make it more complicated.

My suggestion:

Add a line like "Autorestart 0" to the cfg.txt, with basically the same function like "Start Windowed 0". When there is an update available and window while connecting is on, LFS could set the line to 1 and LFS will be restarted in windowed mode instead of full screen. After the auto restart the line goes back to 0, so it will only start windowed once.

I think the only change from U35 (or U36) will be the version number - nothing more.

- The BF1 still has sound clipping at high speeds. Try Aston GP reversed and you will hear it in 7th gear at the backstraight. It's even worse at South City (e.g. classic), there the clipping already starts in 5th gear.
- Did you change the BF1's shifting sound? I like the one from U34 more.
- With window while connecting activated, LFS still switches back to full screen when restarting after an auto update. This can cause problems with firewalls or virus scanners taking the focus away from LFS (this has already been reported in the old thread).

Quote from KiDCoDEa :since when is clipping a bug? clipping happens irl also. clipping per se is not a bug.

Sorry, looks like I only write misunderstandable stuff today. What I mean is, that the engine get's quiet because of the clipping at high speeds. It's not a programming bug, but it's nevertheless a problem which should be fixed by lowering the wind volume.

Quote from Hyperactive :Possible bug:

When LFS is restarted after patching (U33 to U34) it "loses focus". Meaning that the screen flashes and shift-F4 is not working. But if I keep hammering all possible button combinations LFS minimizes eventually to task bar and comes back ok.

Using Kerio firewall, may be the possible issue but I'm not sure. Anyone else having this?

I don't have a flashing Firewall and no problems with loosing focus. But that's exactly the reason why there is "window while connecting", so why don't you use that option?

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :What do you think you're going to hear near 200MPH?

Definatively not an engine which gets quieter, because the sound is clipping and out of range.

Edit: To be clear, I like the loud wind at high speeds, but in the BF1 it's just too much for LFS to handle, resulting in clipping which also affects the engine. So this is a bug which should be fixed by lowering the wind volume for the BF1 a bit. Try it for yourself to hear what I mean.

BTT: Some people in the german forum are reporting, that they cannot hear Teamspeak anymore, because LFS' engine sounds are too loud. Can anyone here confirm this?

- The wind volume in the BF1 is too high and results in clipping when you're faster than about 275 km/h.
- UFR sounds to calm, maybe it's possible to improve this sound a bit.
- Nice BF1 starter sound. The FO8 could use this sound as well, it doesn't have a starter either afaik.

Scawen, can you provide us with zip file URL?

I'm not Scawen, but here you are:

Download the file into your lfs directory and run the self-extracting archive.

Quote from Becky Rose :GTR's sound reasonable, but TBO's are quite intollerable. I think for the moment i'm going to stay with U30 but i'm looking forward to see how this new system progresses.

What about constructive criticism to help the system to progress? If the devs don't know what's wrong they cannot improve it.

I don't think it is fair that he got banned. Maybe he placed the game at his friend's house or in an internet café.









No, it always amazes me, how stupid people can be to post such a screenshot in the official forum. illepall

As far as I know the main problem with pitting is not the pitstop itself, but to make the AI cars enter the pitlane. They have to know where the pitlane is and how to safely enter it including braking down to 80 km/h.

There is an environment map for each sky. And as almost every track has it's own sky, you can also make environment maps for the specific track. If it's not so hard, why don't you do it?

The problem is, that if you put e.g. skyscrapers on the South City environment map it will look silly, because the skyscrapers on the car won't move. It's the same for other objects, like trees on Blackwood. That's why all original environment maps don't have such large objects on it, so you cannot see that it's not real dynamic environment mapping (which is technically possible, for example GP4 from 2002 already had it) but just a static image.
