Read this thread before posting...

FIRST download the Patch y SMX files..

Second make a new folder in your LFS/data named SMX....

THIRD move the SMX files into that folder.

FOURTH download the WR hotlap...HAS TO BE A SPR... NOT MPR. While watching the replay hit ESC and click on save as RAF. The RAF file will save the lap AFTER you have told it to.. And will be saved in LFS/data/RAF.

EXAMPLE: I am watching a 5 lap WR hotlap replay in SPR format. I know the WR lap is on the third. Half way through the second lap I press ESC and hit save as RAF. It will save the third lap and will be put in LFS/data/RAF.

@ shotglass....

I don't know about a few years ago... But I definetly know that there have been privateer's who have won.

Have u paid for high-res skins or w/e? If so then I am assuming you don't have enough credit / money left and therefore LFSW can't download the skins?

Or something like that

Download the set and save it to hardrive....Then if it is an old set (before patch Y) change the name from (example): XR_GTR_Blackwood.set is renamed to XRR_Blackwood.set

After move the set from your hardrive or whereever u saved it in to your LFS/data/SETUPS folder.

Then go into LFS and go to garage and choose your setup.


Your problem is when you download the setup you try to open it rather than saving it to your computer. When you click on the setup link it should come up with a window (shown in eimer's 1st post) Change the option from OPEN WITH XXX to save to disk.

lol, oh yah..Forgot bout that

Are you just using the LFS sound engine? Isn't it kind of limited in terms of making unique sounds? I've just started using CSR and I find it is way better.

Quote from Gener_AL (UK) :

A much easier way is just create 2 driver profiles , one for road , one for formula , that way you wont have to reconfig everytime

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Or configure the files in \data\script to set up the controls however you want for each car - then they'll be loaded automatically when you exit the garage.

But if you create a second profile (I am asumming u mean in the logitech profiler) then don't you also need to configure the files like thisnameistaken said? Or else even if the wheel is set up, you still need to change the LFS settings.. Which I find takes longer?

Thank you so much. Now I should be able to tweak my sets and with my skills hopefully I won't screw them up to bad

To drive the cars with paddles or sequential shifting, you need to turn the dial on the G25 shifter to sequential, THEN change the settings in LFS from shifter to sequential. Then you need to assign the Up and Down shift buttons to either the G25 shifter OR the paddles.

I had the same problem with heel-toe until tonight I decided to see the difference when racing with shoes, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that heel-toe is ALOT..ALOT easier for me with them on

What I would do is put on auto-clutch... Then just brake with left foot, and blip with right until it is easy. This taught me how far to push the gas pedal and how fast to get smooth downshifts. After I started using auto-clutch but still clutching with my left foot and heel-toeing with my right. I'm still a total noob.. but getting better

Already done that, I mean everyone is changing their sets to work with Patch Y... What exactly do they change? Camber? Suspension? Gearing? I already know tires heat up more now..so what else

Go into your old LFS data folder (patch w or x).. Go into settings. COPY ALL of the setups into the folder called SETUPS in your NEW LFS data folder (PATCH Y)

NOW download one of the many file renaming programs and change every single setup that is now in your setups folder to the car's abreveated name.

RECAP:
Copy setups from settings folder (old LFS) and paste them into your SETUPS folder (new LFS).

Now change all the names. Example: name is now "Formula_V8_BL1.set"....IT HAS TO BE CANGED TO "F08_BL1.set".

Thanks for updating these sets

I have one question about the setup changes from patch x to patch y. I know its different from set to set, but what do you normally have to change in the setups for patch Y?

When I race BL1r with XRG I get around 1:36.xx and the leaders are getting 1:34 / 1:33...
Problem is, the car feels the same to me as in patch X, so I have no clue what to change in my setup to get a faster lap time.

This sounds like really good idea to help beginners learn about different leauges

I know I have been around for a year and a bit, but I just got a G25 and still am about 5 - 8 seconds off my normal pace. (which is about 10th place in a 20 car field)

It would be really hard for me to get the time off to race but if I can I would be interested.

P.S. I just got my G25 when the PB's were reset.. so I think most of mine should be with the G25 instead of my old wheel.

Quote from mathew4445 :

The steering is always plugged in -.-.

It's the cable that runs from the unit to the computer.. you CANT pull it out (Well you probably can if you wann waste $500).

NOT TRUE!!!! I just got a G25 today, used it.. Moved my desk a bit, went to use it again and I could shift, move and brake.. but I couldn't steer. I looked down and the steering wheel wasn't plugged into my power bar... If the wheel has no force feedback and it doesn't callabrate when u plug it in..then check the power supply.

went over to my friends house who had the demo.. Played it for a while and loved it.. bout a year later I moved away from my mac and baught a PC and remembered about lfs.. downloaded demo and baught the game couple months later

oooo. Great work, should be alot easier to get ideas for skins now.. My current FOX skin makes the car look like a piece
Thanks

Replacing humans is easy - there's a fun bit (that happens all to quickly in some cases), and then a nine-month long bit that's not so much fun...

Back on topic... Anyone remember the Portuguese garage abandoned by its owners? This thread reminded me of it... Here's a bit of truth behind the story and a list of what was behind those welded doors.

Yah, my friend showed me that... LOL, owner died and no one even looked inside before selling it for 10 000 pounds... Then the new ppl cut the doors and found 50 mint condition classic cars

Hope ur not hijacking my thread, lol

BTW, nice render

If you want to drive a rear wheel drive car use the XRG. A new patch is coming out and they are taking the XRT out of the demo. Although when the patch does come out you will be getting a niftey new single-seater. Like wsinda said, to improve your lap times search the forums for a keyboard and mouse set for the car and track you are using.

If you like this sim, then buy a wheel. Almost any wheel is better than a mouse

More mumbling......

Ummm... might of been hitting the wrong button?
