Q: Status bar says 'not connected'
A: Set correct insim send port (tab Connection) (29999 default).
Enable insim in LFS: run LFS with command '/insim=29999' or type '/insim=29999' in chat box
i'm not sure if there is one for insim (and i'm to lazy to check )
but in another thread U wrote that 6 programs are made by U.
so why don't U pack it into one app (one insim connection)?
confirmed
but it looks like LFS bug to me, it just stops sending OG packets when entering options
i could send OG request every time buttons hide, but i dont think U want multiple "Outgauge: enabled" messages :/
my advice: use OG passive mode (set it with cfg.txt -> OutGauge Mode 2)
then it works fine
@BowserYo
i always use 1ms delay if requesting OG with insim, its not configurable
but just like 1303s_vortech said, U can setup OG with cfg.txt
OutGauge Mode 2 OutGauge Delay 10 OutGauge IP 127.0.0.1 OutGauge Port 30003 OutGauge ID 0
im developing Digital Speedo mod http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=44054
it has function to run programs on start, and there is problem with LFS on Vista, it always starts windowed, even if its set to fullscreen (cfg: Start Windowed 0)
it happens only if LFS is started through my program, works fine if started manually
one of racers reported this bug, and since im using XP, i cant check it myself
maybe some of U had similar problem, or can write small program to test it on Vista (i can send DS source code if its necessary)
add port which app listens on (Outgauge Gateway, check ds_tab1.jpg in 1st post attachments)
lets say app XYZ listens directly from LFS on port 30003
1. set checked 'Auto-config Outgauge' in DS (it will read lfs cfg file and do the rest). after this operation DS will listen OG on port 30003
2. change OG port in XYZ to 30004
3. in DS add port 30004 in 'Outgauge Gateway' list
this will work if XYZ listens to OG in passive mode (OG port set in CFG.txt and OutGauge Mode set to 2)
if XYZ request OG via insim, there will be conflict (LFS sends packets to only one app), so U must make sure to start DS before XYZ (U can start XYZ via DS ('Startup' tab, screen ds_tab3.jpg)
in this case add to 'Outgauge Gateway' insim recive port of XYZ
at this moment only responsible people play with cars modding, i mean they respect Devs and dont share their work
but probalby some day, some immature kid will start to release new cars :/
what my point is, i think Scawen shouldnt waste his time with files encryption/protection, he has more important tasks to do
so even if U find a way to modify cars, what would U do with it?
U cant use it online, only U would see modified cars, what fun is that?
not quite true (if Ur talking about gameport version)
it depends on hardware, with some motherboards it works, with some (newer i guess) there are FFB problems
i had to buy USB version after PC upgrade, was ^@$! tired of reinitializing controls thousand times
i suppose U could use LfsLapper or any other opensource insim program as a base, but... are U sure this is a good idea?
we're full of commercials anywhere, do U really want to put this into our favourite game?
even if it was displayed only between races, im sure i wouldnt like to visit such a server
