Quote from Chaos :

imo not doable, because everyone has to have the same physics, otherwise the online play would go out of sync...

*cough*rFactor*cough*
It has dx8 and dx9... I'm sure there would be a way around it

Quote from h3adbang3r :

I'm thinking DX10 should definately be used. Anyone still using XP by the time S3 is released is an idiot IMO.

I was going to say that... but I knew there would be some people saying... "nooo my pc can't handle dx9 let alone dx10!!!".

But personaly I don't give a shi*
If other people have the hardware, let them use it!!! and stop being so jealous of others who can afford it

Quote from MijnWraak :

You guys are talking about those Ageia cards, right?

Everyones complaining about how the game is being updated and lower spec computeres are suffering (except the new test patches) so why on earth would devs add something that only people with brand new video cards could use?

no... nvidia has taken it over now... and will be avalibe to almost any graphics card (2 or 3 years old... :P)
By the way I have a 8600 GT and I know quite a few with sli 8800 gt's and 8800GT single (great car too )
anyway... the lfs dev's don't need this, I was just putting it out there

I would reccomend a newer direct x tho... dx9 and/or dx10 dx9 at least... and still have support for dx8.

I am guessing that will be S3 tho

Quote from LFSn00b :

There's updated interiors for XFG, XRG, XRT, UFR, XFR and XRR actually and IIRC FOX and FO8 interiors are a bit updated too

yeah, I know
If one interior was there all the others would be

Quote from Frost_More :

That seemed to do the trick, weird that it didn't worked before but hey its fixed now

Thanks for the support guys!

Quote from Frost_More :

Yes I do,

but for some reason it ain't working...

try extracting it again...

Quote from Frost_More :

I have a little problem I think, I downloaded lfs again from the main website then installed it in a different map and installed the Y30 patch. When I load the game it runs very good, but I don't have the new interior for the GTR cars etc.

Does anyone know why perhaps?

Thanks Scawen for the patch makes the game graphics allot better and smoother

you do know the updated interior's are only on the xfg, xrg, xrt, and xrr... right?

Quote from bbman :

amBX has to be the most useless gadget in racing games... When wind is blowing into your eyes, there is something wrong with your windshield or your helmet... Or you've been too dumb to close the lid...

haha lmao

yeah... that's what reminded me... the 4000 ati series won't be supported said the creator (he said he is not that happy with amd at the moment)

Quote from Jakg :

Correction, built into a small range of G92 8800 / 9600 / 9800's. I'd imagine the number of LFS players with those cards atm is less than 100...

true...
forget I said anything

I have heard alot about this... and was starting to wonder weather PhysX could improve Live For Speed a bit more (eg. When you hit a barrier or tyre).
This is just an idea so don't get angry at me for requesting a dum idea


What PhysX is: (For those who don't know what PhysX™ Technology is...)

Delivering physics in games is no easy task. It's an extremely compute-intensive environment based on a unique set of physics algorithms that require tremendous amounts of simultaneous mathematical and logical calculations.

This is where PhysX™ Technology come in. PhysX is a powerful physics engine which enables real-time physics in leading edge PC and console games. PhysX software is widely adopted by over 150 games, is used by more than 10,000 registered users and is supported on Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and PC.

In addition, PhysX is designed specifically for hardware acceleration by powerful processors with hundreds of cores. Combined with the tremendous parallel processing capability of the GPU, PhysX will provide an exponential increase in physics processing power and will take gaming to a new level delivering rich, immersive physical gaming environments with features such as:

• Dense smoke & fog that billow around objects in motion
  

I'm not quite sure how you would use it... but I'm sure it would help

Quote from anasmak11 :

amBX is a new technology that has peripherals like lights, fans and rumblers which connect to your PC...
It brings the game environment to you...

It can:

- Wind will blow on you as you drive fast with an open wheeler..
- Your seat will rumble as the revs are going up.

just more immersion and fun...


PS: Toca 3 already has this feature

thank you...

Hopefully someone will give this a try

Need:
- Someone that knows how to make OutGauge stuff from lfs
- What inputs the amBX technology uses (a amBX sdk or something )
- Figure out what those lights could be for...
- Luck

Someone please help us with this!!!

Fantastic scawen!!! Thanks for the patch!!!
Can't wait for the FZ and FX updates!!!

:P... not really

Update: I haven't been making wheels for a while sadley due to my workload at the moment and lack of energy to do it, I will eventually get round to doing your wheel requests but it may be another year or so before I get round to doing them
Sorry

Quote from L56 :

mr.jeffhlz,

SEC: Sector is better as Sector is a commonly known word in Dutch Racing language

I have a "problem" though

I use Logitech Z10 speakers. It has the same display and technology as the Logitech G15 keyboard. I tried this plugin and it works on the Z10 too.....well...halve

Let me explain: all timing related stuff works. So the page with Best Lap, Current Lap and Best Possible lap works flawlessly. Also, on page 1, your position, gaps to the racer in front or back and the elapsed time works like it should.

All car related data however, doesn't work. Fuel and the page with the Rev.counter, Gear Indicator and Speed indicator doesn't work. It just shows --.

I find it strange that only halve of it works. Logic dictates that it should work like on the G15 or not at all, and therefore I take it that the Z10 is not at fault. I can understand that the timing stuff is mayby taken from a file outside of Insim and that the Insim code for the car data DEMANDS to be connected to a G15 or something, but that's speculation.

Z10 work with every other LCD mon thing with every other game I tried that has it. To be clear: I'm not demanding it to be fixed, but I hope someone has an idea of what may be wrong.

I use LFS S2 Patched upto Y18 and Live for G15 0.9.3.

I sometimes get a error message in LFS saying: IS_MTC only for multiplayer hosts or something similair.

Has anyone got an Idea?

Other than that. Thanks for Live for G15 and keep up the good work!

L56 Out...

Don't worry that "error message" is normal, it always comes up...

Try using it offline (single player) because servers with 10-15 people or more it won't work for some reason (it is probley a bandwith problem).

Anyway... try offline in single player and if it works there it is fine and should work in multiplayer, just go on servers with not many people if you want it to work

Quote from mcgas001 :

Are you gonna post evertime someone votes against something you dont like?

lol... no, just wondering why he voted no :P

ajp71, BlakjeKaas, Bob Smith, Chaos, egghed6, shadow2kx

Why did u vote "No" Bob Smith?????

Quote from blackbird04217 :

I can see out of instinct pressing shift-s / shift-p due to loads of pick 'em up races where its quite acceptable to do so. But during league racing I don't like people spectating or pitting due to my post above. I could care less if its ruining peoples money in a cruise server, IMO thats there problem and they can quickly learn to break that habit due to the consequences. Some leagues have consequences for it as well, but I do think it would be a useful option...

Possible Accidents Which Cause People To Accidently Hit A Shortcut:
1. Didn't click "t" (to send a message) and went to do a capital S or P which equals shift+s or shift+p.
2. Went to go shift+o for options and accidently pressed shift+p for pits

Does that answer your question?

Quote from blackbird04217 :

I don't really understand what this thread is about and was curious so can someone try explaining it? I can see its something about telepitting and spectating, is it about being able to turn this off, if so I vote YES lets allow the admins to control whether telepits / spectate is allowed... It would make video editing easier as people don't just disappear into thin air.

About the dodging the crash, people from behind need to respect yellow flags and drive at safe distances, a lot of times you can see that the car ahead of you is not confident enough through a corner so you have time to slow down and react, there are times obviously where someone just spins in front and you can't do anything about it since its racing, it happens in real life... and people just need to obey yellow flags and slow down for the accident.

it was just a little thing for "cruise" servers only... stuff like shift+s and shift+p could be able to be turned on or off... but it only affects the cruise servers so they don't get fined heaps :P

why did these people say no????
ajp71, Chaos, egghed6

this is going great guys and girls, thanks for voting
Hope the lfs team can program it in

That's their problem not mine :P
