d6 is working excellent with no visible bugs for now. as rony said, maybe the engine health shouldn't be visible for remote racers. Whoever, i got 2 more requests-questions and i promise i'll shut up

1.-Will we have internal virtual mirror(s) in the near future?
2.- In case of q.1 not being possible, can we have all mirrors config enabled like in 0.6v?

Some cars really need rear view cameras, like the lmp2 or GT cars, it will give the sim more of a modern feeling.

I don't know if it's what you are talking about, but there already is virtual mirrors in LFS Options, or on track with shift+M

Looks all good to me.
Just one little advice, for having driven it in Peugeot and Fiat IRL, steering wheel should be a tad bigger and also placed upper, else dashboard is totally useless

Outside wise it looks neat, and driving wise it's very good.

But please, tell me the inside is WIP and will be changed?

Too bad to have gotten rid of the hand on the wheel, else it's good creation

I see that henricat's LX8 GTR has been published now: https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/71F781

Not sure if we want two LX8's out there...

They are kinda different in handling, for having driven both.

The base that you hand drew look promising, can't wait to see the progress!

Damn, this car is probably one of the best i've seen here until now.

Not that i'm kind of fan of its design, but of the way it's made.

First of all, it does look well made and designed
And second one, I like how it's keeping XFG's DNA :
-The overall form of the car
-The way it look like grabbing designs from some IRL cars
(front look like fiats stilo/punto, rear a mixture of a duster and 208)

Can't you try, for the interior, to take XFG's actual and make some slight modern changes? It's how most of constructors were doing in the past

Worst case scenario, you will make a gen2 of it with redesigned interior on the future

Hi,

I dont know if this was asked somewhere or no, but: Why are LFS Mods only for S3 members? I know upgrade from S2 to S3 is cheap (270CZK).

So thats why, my mind came up with idea, that S2 can have this function too, but only to use mods, not to create them.
I dont know it that makes sense, if it dont make sense, Scawen is free to delete this post.

To make the S3 usefull, I guess.

Quote from Scawen :

I can't really see the problem at all. You still run the InSim programs where they are, only the game server is in a different location, with good ping.

I don't know what you mean about adding the scripts and so on. You just carry on as before. Just that for the game server you use your assigned IP address instead of a local one.


Again, I don't know what issues you are talking about. If there is some kind of a bug, we'd like to help. But InSim is designed to work with remote computers so there shouldn't really be a problem.


Just to be clear, we can't change our mind on the hosting. It's the only way we can avoid piracy and hopefully have a viable business again. But we will certainly be interested to know about any issues you are facing and try to help with them.

I don't really remember what they were, to be fair. Our admin has worked on its side at work, and then it was fixed.
Then we'll have to dig in for a new period of debugging with a instable insim, good to know :/

The 2nd issue was indeed the fundings.

But guess if that stays on the way, we won't be able to pay for the servers and we'll just disappear...

Just saw the line and the comments about the server.
I might rejoin the grumpy side, but sorry.

I'm giving a +1 to what Bass Driver has said.

We at RC are running all our stuffs on one of our admin's plateform which is freely hosted at his work.
We adpoted this way a few months ago (maybe more than a year, can't remember), in case to stop to have a constant needing of funds to keep the servers running.
It took us a lot of time of moving away of OVH to have to working and running without issues...
We tried to just running them separatly, at any way (server on ovh, server on new platform, server on another dedicated hoster), it was causing issues between the insim and the server.

I'm not sure we're going to stay if you really plan to get rid of all the external hostings.
That's indeed a big slap for most of the servers that are probably running in the same way of us.

Also i hope the new way won't affect us in Live For Speed France with the way the old gcomp works...

Better late than never, i guess!

It is a good idea and it seems well managed for now. The fews already on the page looks interesting, can't wait to test them!

That is a update that i wasnt expecting at all. Not muchly a drifter, but find it fun to drift XRR on this config, great work.

Just a bit sadened that FXR doesnt have that much more steering angle, because when you send it too hard on rx, it's too late

Quote from Flotch :

NB : Eric, do not forget to add a joker lap layout included on those tracks !!!

That is easily doable with the open track config on Blackwood. I've been hosting a xmas open for LFS France since 2 years with 2 RX typed layouts, and also used it for RC Events.

Edit : quick exemple here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_5HsQ76ktU
more videos on the same channel.

It's the 6.0.1.3 that's installed on RackService yes.
We're sure it wasn't a server issue, we had that also on the past (I'm managing the league alone since 2013) while we had a server offered by our country mate MRc-Sam, so at that time Gai-Lu' had already checked both server and lapper config quickly.

Quote from Bass-Driver :

ye sorry,
looking throught that script, it seems that many lines has been disabled.
So no need to disable the script.

### SET THE FOLLOWING VAR'S TO SETUP YOUR SERVER WHEN LFSLAPPER (RE)START ####
$GUI_Lap = 5 ; #Number of race laps
$GUI_qual = 10 ; #Number of qual minutes
$GUI_wind = 0 ; #0=no wind 1=low wind 2=hard wind
$GUI_weather = 1 ; #set type of wheather 0,1 or 2
$GUI_mustpit = "no" ; #need to pit yes or no
$GUI_fcv = "no" ; #Force cockpit view yes or no
$GUI_drift = "no" ; #Drift option yes or no ( see the part at end of this script)
$GUI_midrace = "yes" ; #Join midrace yes or no
$GUI_start = "finish" ; #Race start order : fixed/finish/reverse/random
$GUI_current_car = "?" ; #You can set here the default car. If not set,the first time when the config GUI start its show's a "?".
### END ###

# cmdLFS( "/laps " . $GUI_Lap );
# cmdLFS( "/qual " . $GUI_qual );
# cmdLFS( "/wind " . $GUI_wind );
# cmdLFS( "/weather " . $GUI_weather );
# cmdLFS( "/mustpit " . $GUI_mustpit );
# cmdLFS( "/midrace " . $GUI_midrace );
# cmdLFS( "/fcv " . $GUI_fcv );
# cmdLFS( "/start " . $GUI_start );

Oh that's perfect it's just what i wanted to know !

So i changed that 10 minutes to 240, and now it's all good, i tried restarting both server and lapper, and qual is staying at 240 minutes, thanks a lot guys !

I think i should have checked each files instead of going with the feelings like "that name should have something related to qualif"

Thanks again !

Hello!

I noticed every time lapper is started or restarted, it's setting qualifying time to 10 minutes.
Is there any way to get rid of that or to make Lapper setting qual at the maximum amount possible (which is IIRC 240 mins) ?
That's a bit annoying because considering my server (hosted at rack) is restarting sometimes (lapper included), and we're - at the french league - running a month of pre-qualify to set the grid of the race, so if i dont check daily or whatever, it can happen to only have 10 minutes of qualifying, and since there is also drivers that are making race stints, it's boring for them.

I already got a look at it quickly with Gai-Luron, but we didnt found in which files it's coded..

If you guy know.. I'd like to know it !

Thanks in advance !

Regards

This change does mean that some older graphics cards will no longer be supported.

Good job anyways guys, keep it up!

Awww, sad to read that, i was having a lot of hopes in this series as it's only the 2nd thing i'm participating in lfs this year after the French League :/

Quote from Scawen :

I think you need to switch off the LFS logo. At the bottom of Options... Misc.

I think you have it set to be displayed, and that hides the FPS/Time but the logo is in turn hidden by the InSim buttons.

Sorry for the late answer, but I had already tried that.
Finally solved it by restarting the game, with the LFS Logo set off.

Guess it's related with the 0.6T, since it happened after i updated the game... But when the FPS or time are set to be shown on the left, nothing appear, but when it's set on the right, it's working. Any way to fix that?

Been there also, the worst is that i don't even have a job, find the mistake...

Any news here?

Damnnnn, feelin' old now

Holy moly, what a beast

Maybe a version with a softer engine and better suspensions would be more drivable?

Quote from Victor :

If you want to be absolutely sure there will be no hickups, then yes. So far today though, it's been quiet (knocks on wood).

Ok, thanks for your answer!

Quote from Victor :

Finally, we have a plan to better protect the master, however it will take a bit of work and a patch for LFS. Hopefully that will come later this week.

So it's better to wait until that patch to be sure that attacks won't happen again? Because I had to postpone the French league's race since no one was able to join the server with these issues.

I would liked to made it, but with the last problems i got at home, it's not possible for me to race at this scheduled time. Y'all have fun!
