but today was the weirdest behavior, I just turn it on, and it just turned off itself, I didnt touch anything and it turned on by itself and later turned off all by itself again, i was like..what the **** now?

Did this happen when Windows was running or did it reboot itself during POST? Windows crashes or random reboots are very likely to be a driver or virus problem, read the kernel dump to learn more. Reboots during POST or boot usually indicate a hardware problem or too aggressive overclocking.

If I announce that I completed a layout change on my server but then decided not to do it because I was trying to fix the Insim, masses of trolls would call me out and trash my name because I announced something was done and ready but then decided against it because I wanted to fix SOMETHING else first.

Let's look at it this way. Say you release the new layout and start overhauling your InSim app which means long boring ours of debugging and testing. At the same time you get people complaining about the new layout, misplaced cones and barriers, a possible way to cut the track you overlooked etc., so while you're knee deep in your InSim app code you have to stop, fix the layout first and only then get back to your InSim app hoping that there'll be no more problems with the layout. That's not how programmers usually like to work.

Scawen has exactly the same problem, I imagine that releasing a new major version of LFS is not an easy job and I guess the last thing he wants is to fix all sorts of nasty bugs instead of completing the new physics engine.

This thread is full of odd reasoning. You're acting as if the devs owed you something, but they don't. You payed for LFS as it was when you bought your license, all updates and extra content you got for free.

The devs don't have to release anything, it's their game and their business. If you don't like it, you're free to move along any play something else, but please stop whining just because the devs don't live up to your expectations.

It's been done like this because of simplicity. LFS would have to set a camera for each mirror and do some non-trivial math to determine what should be drawn in the mirror based on the driver's head position. I remember LockOn having these real rear mirrors and they had quite severe impact on performance.

Shal we make one single contribution on behalf of LFSF?
For example if we transfer the money to your account / paypal, then you transfer them to the organization?

I'd really like that, in a way it'd be less anonymous that a bunch of individual donations...

Git is actually pretty awesome, it makes branching, patching and submitting patches extremely easy. A well set up git environment can create, format and email a patch to developers in one command.

There's a lot of 3rd party apps that provide the custom rev limiter functionality available in the Addons section.

If a donate option using PayPal is used, I would gladly donate. Please set something up, it would be great if we can do something coming from LFS.

Count me in, I'd like to show Joe some better appreciation than a few condolence lines written in a hurry while clicking through tabs in browser.

I didn't really know him and unfortunately it was his death that made me realize he was much more than a profile on the forum. R.I.P Joe, you will be missed...

Now this is what I call a celebration starting early

Happy Birthday Vic.

I agree with what the guys said. Unless you encounter a moron extraordinaire, the owner of the site should be glad you bothered to inform him/her about the problem. After all, it's just a couple of comments and votes, I doubt anybody could get mad over those...

Quote from Beaver08 :

ok just to clarify do i need to remove this from my website aswell? or am i allowed to distribute it?

I have no authority here but as far as I'm concerned it's OK for you to distribute anything as long as Rhama is fine with that. It's just lfsforum that has a certain policy about what mods are or are not allowed.

Rhama's mod is pretty much harmless and I see no reason why you should remove it, IIRC the reason it's not allowed on lfsf is because it directly modifies the memory of LFS.exe.

This usually happens when the app isn't getting any data from OutGauge. Double check the OutGauge settings both in LFS and ECMeter configuration and make sure there's no firewall blocking it.

InSim.NET is a C# library so you can't use it with C++. I already linked you the simplest example of OutGauge receiver, that should get you started...

When I tried to send a key to LFS I was using this to get the job dobe

The keyb_event() function is a part of user32.dll and it's not directly available in C#. It can be imported like this

It works only in practice mode, no matter whether it's in single or multiplayer.

you didnt mention atall this part in readme

I kind of expected everybody to know this already

ok buttons work but it wont hold the speed. :/

If you can still control the throttle when the cruise is on, you have to point the mod to the correct axis. If you cannot control the throttle, you might have to fiddle with SEPARATE or INVERTED values.

Although the G27 detection could use some fixing, I was unable to reproduce this bug with my Saitek joystick connected. I wonder if this is somehow specific to the Fanatec pedals, do they require a special driver to work? Can you by any chance borrow a USB joystick or similar gaming device that could be used as a controller in LFS and test with that?

The only way I was able to reproduce this behaviour to misconfigure OutGauge, are you certain you have it set like this?

The Mode, IP and Port lines are crucial here. Another possibility would be a pretty obscure bug in my InSim "library"...

InSim.NET is one of the most up to date libraries available and OutGauge should work fine even with an outdated version. Not being a C# programmer I can only give you some general suggestions. Do you have OutGauge enabled in cfg.txt and is it set to a different port than InSim? You can check if OutGauge is working properly by using any of the numerous mods that utilize it, LFS Dashboard for instance.

There is an insim.txt file in LFS documentation. I suggest you definitely read that, also check http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1352574#post1352574

Is this some new kind of propaganda? Within the last 30 minutes I saw a guy film a generic bad guy documentary, brainwash his son and try to armtwist his government into military intervention - why should the US gov get involved in something that is for Uganda and the other affected countries to solve? It's not like they can't ask for international help if they feel they could use some, is it?

Is Kony a criminal? I think so. Should he be stopped? Yes, I think so. Will better awareness of his crime help the situation? Perhaps. Do I think that higher military involvement will solve anything? Nope...

And what is it you want to achieve? This tool only gives you coordinates of points on the track in a format that LFS understands. It's really up to you how you use this...

You can use whichever plain text editor you like, the standard windows notepad will suffice.

I suggest you read the insim.txt file in the LFS documentation, it describes in detail how to setup and use both InSim and OutGauge.

In a nutshell, InSim and OutGauge are completely different and independent interfaces. InSim uses TCP, OutGauge uses UDP. With InSim you have an actual server (LFS) which listens on a specified port (the one you define with /insim=12345 command) and some clients - for instance your application.
With OutGauge LFS just dumps the OutGauge packets on a specified IP/port and it doesn't care if the packets arrive correctly or if there is anybody to receive them.

Yeah, so your ISP had an intermittent DNS failure or something and we are late? Come on people, what's up with this "Facebook is down, let's get out and celebrate" kind of attitude anyway?
