my last post got shot down while i was looking through the improvement list so i thought i'd try again....i wanna ashut off the qualify list, it's too long and blocks my view of the apex on right handers.

REALLY??? damn didn't know that one...tanks!

I was just thinking that it would be nice that when I block the messages that it would be nice to have ALL the messages blocked, including new HL times & pit in/outs etc. not JUST the conversations.

I know.

All I'm getting at is that if a driver on my team is going to takeover my seat during a race AND that driver has personal preferences re:handling (that are changeable from the current f12 menu), then I don't want him to have to tell me what he likes and then I have to remember them AND find a safe time to set them for him sometime during my stint.

I think it would be better if he had access to my f12 menu and could log onto the server during my in-lap and set my f12 to his own personal preferences. Then the pit crew would take as much time as necessary during the handover stop to make the adjustments requested.

Yes, of course just like they do now.

The point is really so that the current driver dosen't have to do it. IRL the pit crew would already know what to change and driver1 dosen't have to do anything for driver2 except bring the car onto pit lane.

What i mean is for the guy who's gonna take over from you, if he wants a turn or two taken out of his wings, that needs to be set before you pit for his takeover.

So either he has to tell you & you gotta set it for him before you pit next OR he has to takeover, do a lap to make the f12 changes then pit again to have them adjusted.

BTW I was just thinking that it would be settable through world, but upon further consideration it might be easier to have a "teammate" box somewhere in the options screen where the lfsname of your approved takover-er could be entered.

I'd like to see something at WORLD that would allow me to set a "team member" or alternate driver for my car. Then, when they connect to take over for me at an endurace event they can have acces to my f12 to set their own pit changes. The f12 commands would only be visible to them or course.

OOPS my mistake illepall ...I usually set end to about a lap length

5min......I hate it when ppl restart

Quote from Doorman :

In your setup.cfg set these timings.
/rstmin=240
/rstend=240
This at least prevents restarts until 4 minutes into the race. By which time most restart junkies have given up. This also stops voting for restarts while some poor bugger is trying to finish.

ya I actually set those to 300sec.

Is there a way to disble restarts...if my server is running publicly, is there something can i set in the config. to disable the restart vote as soon as someone hits the vote button so that once a race/qual is started it MUST run out the time unless an admin. restarts it?

noproblemo!

Dad just had a momo problem, these are the files you gotta lose, anything that looks like this:

C:\Program Files\Logitech\WingMan Software\LWPGames.dat

1. BACK 'EM UP FIRST!!
2. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR BUTTON PROGRAMMING...make a note of 'em.
3. LWP=LogitechWingmanProfile

true but will that delete the base file and force profiler to re-create a new one?

dont know if this will help but...every now and then i get problems with the profiler and it helps to delete all the profile description files. i'm at work atm so i cant tell ya exactly where they live but I THINK -> c:/program files/logitech/profiler/games (or something similar to that) close the profiler before deleting and ALWAYS BACK 'EM UP FIRST! the default one should be recreated the next time you start the profiler...BE AWARE THAT THIS WILL MEAN YOU WILL NEED TO RE-MAP ALL THE PROGRAMMED KEYS.

The files you need to delete are pretty easy to find & identify but if in doubt DONT DO IT, wait till i get home & I'll post the exact files & their paths

Hey guys, check your names, make sure ya don't end up naming name your server:

������������Xspa™

It's really annoying on LFSWorld.

i'l be watching this one too

funny...i get this too but only as the game is starting, before any screen desplays so it never botherd me...will be watching this one

Quote from letdown427 :

I have a DFP, and whenever the wheel is central, it jerks and twitches from side to side.
It is not a simulation of the cars behaviour, I'd go into detail, but i'd rather just say it isn't, i'm positive. As soon as the wheel is no longer centered, the problem stops. I have the force feedback set to 200 in LFS, and have tried reducing it to get rid of the problem, but it has to be set down to below 25 before it is unnoticable, at which point the cars feel hugely over assissted. I was wondering if this has been encountered by anyone else?
I really don't want to have to turn my FF right down, but the straights are just so aggrevating when the wheel is twitching constantly. Even when parked up, it turns left and right, leaving my poor driver flailing his virtual arms.
In the wingman profiler, I have most of the settings on full also, except the centering srping is on 0% I think, im at work at the moment, but will check later, ive tried toying with these ad nauseum, and have just tried to deal with the twitching. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Sorry for the long post.

I got the same problem...going down the straights it's kinda like a really loose tie rod. Also i have to hit [esc] after a race to chat so the wheel won't jerk left/right...Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

oops...editied & moved to the sticky

These are all great but what about real life tracks? I mean why not or why isn't there any?

Quote from Hankstar :

I have nothing against new layouts but I think we have enough at this stage. I'd prefer to see whole new tracks

I agree BUT how about a tool similar to the Autox Editor that would allow users to add "block-off barriers", thus remapping the track lines into any combination.

Fair enough, depending on your home router it may not work though.

angel....you were right THANKS!
It's working just fine (after I stopped the forwarding on pc#1...thanks again)

So thanks to the angel you guys get another dedicated server to play on (info will be on my site once I lineup a few admins)

wait...I just re-read your post....you mean only i was experiencing the problem of not being able to connect because of the circular conflict and that someone else (not on my pc#1 or #2) would have been fine.

meaning I got it right and don't have to do anything else

Dude that was fast what do you do sleep here

Quote :

You're still port forwarding to the PC1 most likely. You'll have to change that, if you want to use PC2 as a public server.

So I've made a circular conflict! I'll check it out tonight (I'm at work right now )

Quote from the_angry_angel :

When you're connecting to the game inside your network, just goto Multiplayer > Join Specific Game, select Local Network, and type in the local address of PC2. No need to go via the in-game list, its much faster, etc.

ya but I wanted to used that method to see if i got it working
