Ripley,you got to explain me how im going to make this thing work since i've never used Insim.
I've read that i can call insim by typing "/insim 29999" in the chat but then im stuck and the forum doesn't help me.
Sorry for being so noooooob at this.

Quote from scipy :You can have the F9 through F12 menu on a single button on the wheel/shifter - check out http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Script_Guide

The telemetry application that I'd like to have would look something like this: http://www.team-sirius.com/dow ... /lfs/telemetry-proggy.png

I've used the LRA background as an example, but this is not an application that would display anything to the driver in real time (via insim). We take a team for example, 4 drivers, each of them just enables LFS Outgage (or runs a client-side program of this application which would enable outgage and connect to the "server") which then sends all the relevant information that outgage can send (rpm, speed, pedal position, laptimes etc) to the "server" side of the application which would run online and draw stuff in the same way LFS Remote draws cars on track in "real time".

This part would have to run online so the rest of the drivers can access the information and view the telemetry, and also so that the racing engineer or someone in that position can follow progress and tell drivers for example.. if they are downshifting into over-the-rpm-limiter revs and damaging the engine, or if they're losing speed in a particular corner so that they can do something differently there etc.

It'd basically be a "telemetry tracker" for real time data acquisition. Outgage is already there, it can perform the functions necessary to get the data from the driver's pc to the "server". The problem is that no one seems to be interested in programming the rest of the application because it'd require some serious work. But on the other hand, it wouldn't be a useless insim application like so many of the already available insim-dashboards which can display rpm and whaeva on your second screen.

So if anyone wants to make this, they'll get the scipy-thumb-of-approval (instead of the neverending list of insults that make me so popular with the forum idiots).

You must be joking,definitely.
Who cares about you btw?
Are you some sort of god that needs to be satisfied by his subjects?
If you feel like this application is pointless then you really have your chance to show your skills.
I mean,the bit in bold is a real demonstration of how arrogant are you.
That's not an app made for you,you don't pay for that so you don't have any right to throw shit on it.Take it easy,the world doesn't rotate around you.

Quote from Revolt :so is there any way to fix it ?

Buy a wheel.
Really this is a case of simple computer science.
Digital controls can only be either on or off,0 or 1.
So it's easy to understand that when you turn ,the steering wheel locks fully to a side.
A wheel,on the other hand,has a range of 0-1024(the number may vary depending on bits available) and therefore has a pretty big amount of intermediate positions to work with.
Yes,there are some people that can set WR's on a gamepad but they train hard on that and have their very special configuration.

What do you expect from a gamepad since it uses digital controls?

Quote from The Very End :

And did you watch the reveiw of "Plumbers don't use tie" (wrong spelled tho) ?
That was seriously, epic

That was epic,yeah,epic shit
What were they thinking?The game looks like a soft porn movie made of static images.And did you hear the voices?Maaaaan,that must be the biggest mistake in the videogames history.

I discovered him about a year ago and i loved the way he made the "Dragon's Lair" angry review.
The best thing from his archive is,for me,the bible games review
I laughed so much at that that i had to stop the video several times.I mean,some games are really weird,to say the less.
Not to talk about the game peripherals

Quote from przewodo :The translation pack will be released soon. Sice there is just two working on this project and programming it, we have a lot of things to do, ehehe, but we will do the software with multilanguage.

To italian, we will need a help, from someone that is Italian (in this case, you if wanna help us, eheheh)

The guide, that you mentioned, I will put here the steps.

1) Install LFS and let Insim, OutSim and OutGauge in factory default configuration.
2) Install Seven LFS Telemetry
3) On LFS shortcut, add /insim=xxxxx where xxxxx is the insim port.

4) On Seven LFS Telemetry, set the same port that you used on shortcut.
5) If you will run the Seven LFS Telemetry on another computer, change IP from 127.0.0.1 (that means local computer) to the IP of computer that will run the Live For Speed.
6) Start Live For Speed.
7) Now on Live LFS Telemetry, click on Connect to INSim

The green display at the left of this button will change to ON, with highlight andon te game will apear one message.

Start one Single player game, Multiplayer game or remplay and enjoy!


Thanks for the help,i'll take a look at it tomorrow
If you want someone to translate the application send me a pm,

Guys,is there a guide for this program?
Im new with those applications so a manual would be really useful,i don't know where to start from.
If there is a way to translate the app in italian i would really like to do it for you:is that simple or complex?

Quote from scipy :WOW, tnx for ****ing nothing. Telemetry app that shows you things u can already see in the game? What a waste of everyone's time. You could've at least made an outgage application that would send brake/throttle/steering/rpm/speed info to a specified IP. This is utterly useless.

Since it's free and he dedicated quite a bit of time to it(im sure),i think that is not a nice comment to make.
Maybe you have more skills than him,am i right?
If that's the case i would really like to see what you can do...

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :Im really computer ilterate and that really confuses me, ive already set the arrow buttons on my wheel so i can chnage arb settings etc but just want it so i don't have to look down and mess with my keyboard. If anyone can explain that to a numpty id be gratefull

OK,i'll try to explain what to do
If you just want to have a replicate of the F9 button on the steering wheel the only thing you have to do is:
Open LFS;
Go into the Options menu,then Controls;
Here you can see that you have two sets of commands that you can use (CTRL+ and ALT+).
Select one of them and press on the text space under any of those and type "/press F9" without the quotes.
Press the button on its right and assign a button while it is flashing.
Now you have a button on the steering wheel which acts like a F9 button.
If you want you can follow THAT guide to make a button cycle thru F9-F12.

Quote from bbman :Now I know that carparks often use a very slick surface so I wouldn't be surprised, nevertheless are you sure you've not mistaken the noise the power steering makes at full lock for squealing tyres?

What kind of noise are you talking about?
I'm sure i've never heard the power steering do any sort of BZZZZ or EEEEKKKKK.

Squealing means that the tyre is sliding,a little bit at least.

Quote from Don :yeah, the road condition is really important - and a bit problematic on czech roads i already have some experience with this

That's what i was talking about
I think that a better idea would be to have a station wagon and fold the rear seats flat so you can lay down on your chest in the boot.A friend can hold you in place tightening his hands around your ankles.
I would leave the tripod in its bag,i don't trust roads anymore,while you surely can survive a little bump thanks to a very well distributed weight and low centre of gravity the tripod would easily fall off the car as a consequence of any imperfection.Just be patient and raise the speed in little steps.

Quote from Don :the road wasn't closed, but its road where goes only few cars per day...
i wanted to do that, but there was not enough time plus i didnt take the tripod with me, but anyway, im planning to do that on one of my next photoshoots

Nice
There's really no need to bring a tripod as any bump in the road will be a huge risk for the camera to drop.
If you happen to have(or borrow)a VR lens you can use that.
Use "long" shutter speeds (1/20s should be good) and try to stay at about 20kmh.
Check the road conditions first,you want the tarmac and the driver to be as smooth as possible.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :So I've got my first semi-pro photo gig this weekend...

The company I work for is handling marketing a certain actress's ranch out here, and they want to do a "photo book" for it, which is one of their general marketing strategies. Unfortunately, all the photos they have for the place are very real estate-y, and they want a lot of artsier/more atmospheric shots to round out the book. Some people around the office have seen my stuff and it was suggested in a meeting that I take a crack at it.

Because I lack experience/confidence with this kind of shooting I'm not charging them anything more than time-and-a-half my normal hourly rate. I figure if it goes well I can use it as a calling card for future gigs.

Woohoo?

Good luck
Quote from Don :they could have atleast washed the car before the shoot :/

im gonna clone my reflection out on the photo(s) they choose for the calendar, didn't want to bother doing it on all pics just for web

Don,looks like you were shooting on a closed road(or private,anyway):why didn't you do a rig?
You could have let the civic run while you were inside another car(at slow speeds)in front taking some really cool shots.
That would have been amazing.

Quote from legoflamb :Actually this does happen. I have had my share of supermarket jobs, getting the shopping-carts from where ever people have left them in the parking-lot, and had frequently heard >5mph tire squealing when ever certain cars park. I have noticed that it is most common in larger S.U.V. type vehicles. It happens when their wheel is cranked to full lock and they are pulling in to a parking space.

I have no recorded evidence of this. However, from my experience I know slow speed tire squeal does happen in real life.

+1.
I've actually experienced something similar in my Fiat Punto,equipped with some miserable "i can't remember what their name was" 185/55R15 tyres.
Wheels were at full lock and i was merely above 5mph too,but the tarmac was very new and they were squealing.

I know that Tokina and Pentax share the optical scheme and therefore some lenses, but they have separate factories and therefore Pentax can add SMC to its lenses

It can't burn itself because everything clocks down to stop producing even more heat.Clever system but you have to do something to clean the inside.
