Dual Screens - Views

Hi,

I think we should have some options for dual screens. For example, your racing on one screen, while the other shows all your car data ie fuel, tyres, etc.

Think this would be quite a good idea, or even on the second screen have the rear view or something like that.

Tell us what you think,


Cheers,

Quote from Woz :It does raise the question that if LFS is a sim why would you play in 3rd person view. Do you sit on the roof of your car when you drive it?

that is a very good point. Mind you people do have different driving styles, but i have to agree, its a sim so why are you playing it outside your car if you want to get the most out of it??

never hold my gears until the rev limiter. If i spin at the start i dont hold my foot flat, but hold the revs just before the limiter

I agree with the point about the lights. Dont think they should be shining sideways.

Do a view from behind but slighly raised, make the lights shine onto something, and i think that would look quite good (only my thoughts)

Cant you make the look like HID headlamps aswell?>?

Quote from Vain :We have no influence on S2's features anymore. The next version we can influence is S3. So this isn't silly at all.

Vain

Thats too true , The devs prob already know what they are going too add into S2, and what things they are going to sort out.

Quote from Blackout :

And another thing to remember is that S2 ISNT EVEN OUT YET!

Who said it was. There are things for S3, as we know they will never make S2

Unsure. I want to do this aswell, but the other way around. To remove the rev limiter. This is because i love thrashing cars around.

So what if it is 1500RPM past the peek power?? I love the sound of a car screaming its arse off, and working.

I really want too see a massive uphill track, with no downhills - Which will reverse as a massive downhill course.


Think this will push the cars to their limits, if we have full engine damage ie oil temp, water temp, over heating etc by the time s3 gets here

Yes i agree with some of it, but thats all im going to say.


Also, i do have a pc fast enough to run LFS on max, and i do drive behind the wheel in the cockpit view, just defending some other people who may not have the hardware to do this

Think this looks quite good. Good job!

red lining a car will not cause it to blow. My Lexus IS200 Auto has sports mode, and when you place your foot to the floor, and it has kicked down, it continues onto 6500RPM and redline is at 6250RPM.


I know this is because the peek power will end @ 6500 RPM, but im just proving that slight redline will not blow your engine.,
Also, a peugeot 306 1.9 TD which i used to own, used to take 5500RPM (red @ 5000RPM) and this is the only way i could clear the emmisions before an MOT without paying, and this didnt blow my engine, it just simply blew all the carbon and crap out from the engine

James F1 is correct. If you want TRC and launch control, go and race on a different game. Just pratice and you will get the hang of it, Launch Control is a thing for NOOBS!!

I think S2 uses .OGG

So just get a convertor, change them to OGG, and place in the right dir

Quote from Cue-Ball :If the devs can fix the frame rate issue with the cockpit, this should be a non-issue. If the only reason for NOT wanting forced cockpit mode is the fact that it is slower than wheels only, then the core problem needs to be addressed: The fact that wheels-only view is so much faster than cockpit view, even though it shows more polygons.

Maybe the devs could implement a low res cockpit mode - But why should people have to suffer putting there graphics on very low, just to race in the cockpit view. I support your manual / auto view, but think the cockpit view is a little unfair, not just because of the hardware problems for some people, but some people have different driving styles, and why should they have to change to race on some servers (i know about the "fairness" your trying to create)

I have a Ati Radeon 9250 SE 256 MB.


The card is fine, runs LFS fine only prob is cant run AA or AF in LFS, as it only can attain around 15fps. Apart from that, the card runs around 40 - 70 fps.

JUST dont it, now running 2x AA and 16x AF, see if it runs :S




Where do you turn AA and AF in LFS???

Could someone show me a screen shot, maybe my card cant support these.

Thanks in advance

Quote from L(Oo)ney :Shame i cant get it, as im currrently paying £30 a month for my 2mb line.

We have our own telephone company, which owns the lines, and are not allowing anyone else to use them (ie - BT, ntl ect), forcing us to use them, or have no internet.

Basically, they have a monopoly here, so they can charge wtf they want. :mad:

Im paying £25 for a 2mb line from NTL. Heard roomers this is going up to around 8 MB by Xmas -

Quote from XCNuse :rofl whats the need for launch control on normal cars?! lol

i've never seen a honda element take off from a green light so fast the wheels spin

But my Lexus Is200 can do massive burnouts from line. Point is, you can get a 1.2 Clio doing massive wheel spins from line, but it dont spin out. Just go easy on throttle, and use 2nd or 3rd gear!

Quote from The Devil Is A Squirrel :That's your opinion. I think this feature does not hurt anyone...

I think its unfair. i think people should be allowed to chose the view they want. The Auto / Manual option seams quite good thou, as people who want to race auto, they can with a bunch of other people - the forced option thing.

The cam view is unfair in my opinion, but the Auto / Manual force is quite good!

Ive seen Audi's puff out quite a bit, when they try to pull away from you. Its not as bad as the oldish days. (my pug used to blow enless amounts out when it has been used around time)



I think a good diesel would be quite good on LFS, but i think if the devs were to put this in, this would come in S3.

OH also. A TDI car can out preform a Petrol car, but thats because the diesel engine has a turbo. A Petrol turbo engine can way out preform a Diesel turbo.

Clarkson proved this with the new BMW. BMW said it could get around faster than a petrol one, and it failed badly
