Quote from Scawen :

When you say "all axes seem good" I assume they are actually inverted, and it says "invert 1" beside the axes? So, they are inverted and that is OK because LFS knows that?

Yes, Throttle, Brake and Clutch are "invert 1" and working correctly, all this by default. Steering is "invert 0" and is working correctly, too.

Quote from Scawen :

I guess it will not default to axis clutch because I suppose your drivers are not reporting the text "clutch" in the axis enumeration.

Well, it's not really a problem for me because it's easy for me to configure my controllers properly, but may make some confusion for new players. For sure it's an older wheel, but someone might buy a used and good one for less money.

EDIT: By the way, for the testing and since I use this wheel with LFS, I used an official Thrustmaster driver called FFD_2009. It's a bit old but worked great. Today I checked the support page and a new driver popped up, it's called FFD_2016_v2 and it's completely messed up in the Windows Control panel and in LFS, too. In LFS, no buttons are assigned and the axes are not configured at all. Also, it shows "Thrustmaster force feedback wheel Joystick". I advise all Thrustmaster RGT FFB owners NOT to use the new driver as it's a piece of crap. I suggest using the 2009_v1 drivers, I also reinstalled the old ones. (You can download the old and great drivers here, from my Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxfZQnI9G54vZGVmYXQyR1A2WDQ/view?usp=sharing)

Quote from Scawen :

Thanks for the test. I should be able to add an auto setup for this wheel.
I need more info though:

- What are the axis names, e.g. X / RZ / Slider0 - I need these rather than the number
Throttle pedal is the RZ axis and was incorrectly assigned to Brake function
Brake pedal is the Y axis and was incorrectly assigned to Throttle function
Clutch pedal is the Slider 0 and wasn't assigned to any function

- Are the axes inverted?
Nope, all axes seem good.

- What is the name of the wheel as seen in the list of controllers in Controls Options?

- Were the button mappings OK?
Not really, attached a picture.

Also, as LFS didn't recognize my clutch, the "Clutch axis" setting was set as Button, not Axis, as expected.

Hey, tried out the new automatic config (by deleting my old con files) and the axes weren't correctly assigned.

• My throttle pedal (axis 2) was assigned to Brake function
  
• My brake pedal (axis 1) was assigned to Throttle function
  
• My clutch pedal (axis 3) wasn't assigned to any fucntion at all.
  

My wheel is a Thrustmaster RGT FFB with Clutch.

Quote from MadCatX :

Since you implemented some wheel-specific options in LFS, is there any chance you can look into supporting the LED lights on G27 & G29

Although I wouldn't make much use of it on my wheel, I think G27 and G29 are some very popular wheels and many players would appreciate this!

We need support in LFS for the Plastic Google Cardboard as soon as possible!

I use two GT 650M's in SLI and it's working without problems. With SLI turned on, I get like 1.5x the FPS I got with SLI off.

Woo, the comment function! Great job!

Quote from Oveglfhzl :

Yay, finally don't have to depend on the outdated setupgrid as a noob driver.

Yep, we can all say we don't have to depend on Setupgrid now. I'm sure that after some time there will be a lot of fast and good setups available here.

News:

After he won the championship again in 2015, Norbert Kiss made a big change this year in FIA ETRC - he will drive a Tankpool24-Mercedes this season, leaving the Hungarian OXXO Racing Team. The twice European champ from Hungary will be teammate of André Kursim in 2016. I just hope Norbi and his team will get used to each other really fast and he'll have some great success this year, because he raced so well last year with MAN and OXXO Racing Team.

Well, I've said it many times, but this is very useful and a must-have for LFS! Thanks!

It's so great to see releases coming out more frequently! Thanks for this update, great work guys!

Quote from Flame CZE :

You can see the number of votes on mouse hover, but I agree it would be easier to see it right away.
Or by the way, perhaps revise the rating system like this?

I looked at those formulas and thought whaat?! My brain hurts Anyway, it would be great to have a great and accurate rating system because, as I said, most of us decide by ratings.

A small suggestion: could we see the number of votes next to the rating stars? I think a solo rating without the number doesnt do much as it can be an 5-star based on a single rating and also 4-star with 20 ratings. It would help a lot in judging whether a player wants to download that setup or not.
I imagined it this way:

If you are sure you don't have another account, then try contacting the devs here, its the best way to contact them: https://www.lfs.net/mailus

I really like it! One small suggestion, when the public browsing will be available, it would be good to be able to post comments and feedback on a single setup's page.

My keyboard layout language is Slovak, abbreviated SK in Windows, called Central Europe in LFS.
Found a mistake ("-" and "=" swap) and a missing character, attached a picture. The missing character is ' and for the first time nothing is shown, the second time its doubled (´´), so it should be red like in other keyboards.

Quote from Scawen :

I think this is OK. It looks as if your setup is very wide so LFS defaulted to the "Wide" settings and by default that assumes 3 monitors. I expect you can change it in view options to have 1 monitor on one side and 0 monitors on the other side. Then by setting the correct number of pixels for each screen, the interface should be correctly aligned.

But still there would be a scaling issue as Whiskey suggests if the pixels on one monitor are a different size from the pixels on the other monitor.

Yeah, added a [LEFT 0 - MID 1 - RIGHT 1] monitor config in View options, added the correct widths (1440, 1920) and it seemed great (first picture), except the 2-3 pixel wide line on the right monitor while in pits/main menu (second picture), which is probably the scaling issue. Part of the UI on the left screen is also out (upwards).
Again, I just test it, I don't have any real goals with these two monitors together for LFS.

Quote from yaper :

At work I have two monitors connected in unusual configuration. Left one rotated vertically and right one in standard horizontal layout. Resolutions are corresponding: 900x1440 and 1920x1200. Perfect testing environment.

Now, my post may seem completely unhelpful but I just want to post my situation as well. I don't really know what to expect from the borderless window on multiple screens on this config but maybe providing some kind of test info will help you in the development of the borderless system. So, if on this weird testing environment it works as it's supposed to work, then everything is OK.
So, I have a secondary screen on the left (1440x900, connected on VGA to the notebook) and the built-in, primary screen on the right (1920x1080). When I choose the borderless window (multiple monitors) option, it looks like this:

Quote from Oliver Feistkorn :

Clear morning looks nice indeed. At the same time I am disappointed to see that it replaced my favourite weather conditions.

Agree. Clear morning looks very nice but I miss Cloudy Afternoon, it had a great English feel - not that the new one doesn't have it It would be great to have both.

Quote from Victor :

Maybe it's time for us to have a setup database?

Yeah, a brilliant idea. As you said, Setupgrid is outdated now (no Rockingham and still old Westhill setups, IIRC), but at least it's available. It would be awesome to make a database owned by LFS, so we don't have to rely on 3rd party sites when we need fast and good setups. A searchable database in-game would be the best (so you can search for and download the setups in the pits), but I would be happy to use a database on for example LFSWorld.

Wanted to check the good old Setup Field of Team Inferno but the webpage is dead now. We have this dead link on: https://www.lfs.net/links

Aww ... $600? Like what...
Anyways, is the final development SDK available now?

Exported my twitch stream to YouTube, check it out here:

@ mandula

Thanks, appreciate it!

Quote from Cornys :

I don't think we will ever be able to simulate the g-forces and body movements associated with real driving or flight with a simulator.
I'd love to be proven wrong.

I think it is fair to say we can't simulate real-world perfectly - just get close to it as much as possible.

Hey, I was hotlapping with Lazy running and I have a "feature request". I want my car radar to be hidden in hotlap mode as I dont want to turn it off completely to hide it ... it's useless in hotlap mode anyways .
