i´ve the first posting updated

and the players car should be shown and ping, and the one which you spectating should be highlighted like in the arrow in position list.

Why does a vote cancel after a short time, if i vote i don´t want vote again for the same, i will that my vote will be saved for eternal and that no reason can change my vote, the only one true reason to change a vote is if the one who voted disconnect or go to spectators.

Connection-List Changes Player Status and car and Sort-Ability, lag-bars, ping and Highlighting of spectated Players in Connection List

If this made i will really be absolutely surprised after release of X.

I need sometimes the pedal-bars for visual control of pedals, the new small pedal-bars are a bit 2 small for me.

Quote from Forbin :

Really? I thought that was what the whole aero fix was about, when it no longer made sense to run a high nose.

Yes, thats already fixed, but other glitches are not fixed. If u set the nose down, the downforce must be higher. If you set the nose high, the downforce must be less, and the speed on straight faster, and the speed in corners slower. Before the "high-nose aero fix" was the car with high nose faster by the same downforce. Now is the car not faster, but downforce is still the same, and thats wrong.

Motocycles are impossible because to drive a bike is impossible without Equilibrioception. Balance a motorbike is impossible with any game controller. It need than automatic balance, and thats boring.

Quote from BuddhaBing :

A problem with the AI and car reset rules: if two or more AI crash in close proximity to one another (e.g. they crashed into one another) and need to reset, they can't.

Car reset is unrealistic and ruins races. I guess its enabled in single player because there is no limit of lfs-installations. More than one people can use the single-player mode at the same time, because no online connection is needed to play it. Its just a copy protection, because if u wanna disable car reset u must go online. If a car wrecked its wrecked it must drive with the damage, and if it total wrecked and no more moveable is the race over for the car, every other behavior is just no fun. What a magic auto-repair on track....

Quote from Tomtheman70 :

I had to click more than one time to set up the program...

Important:
- Change the settings in the program and close it just before making thumbnails
- Select all files u wanna convert
- right click at selected files and chosing "Make Thumbnail"
- Then are in the changeable Thumbnails-folder the thumbnails.

Every resolution is possible. You can create small thumbnails and thumbnails in the same resolution but just in another format, so is it possible to make JPG-Files with BMP-Sources.

If u have to make thumbnails from many images, it can take some time, but u can just going to drink coffee or going to make other things with the PC during this program make all your thumbnails.

U mean something like Wikipedia:Sandbox and sigs are maybe the stuff which u can find in here.

We already have a test patch forum, and what is a sig?

SIG (Special Interest Group) ???????

I hate it very much if i don´t know whats the point of a thread, this thread is such one.

Quote from BruTaLysT :

a pc geek who adores his beloved mouse far too much

Yes, i am such a guy

Driving with only one hand - this mean the other hand is absolutely free for the watch out buttons.
Mouse X = steering
Mouse Y = throttle and brake combined
Mouse left button = handbrake
Mouse right button = horn or watch back
Mouse wheel = gear shifting up and down
Mouse middle = half automatic clutch
Arrow-Buttons = Watch out

This rocks absolutely more than every wheel!

Mouse steering setup

Quote from chanoman315 :

ok ive done everything of putting /log=messages.txt in the script, now it will save the conversations?, but if I put /log in a server, it says that i dont have admin rights

Thats right, therefore u need the script how i said. The file will be created after restart LFS in the LFS-main-folder.

Quote from Tomtheman70 :

Fraps --> Screenshot

Now LFS make own error free screenshots use for this just the hotkey CTRL+S
The LFS-shots will be saved in the shots-folder of the data-directory. I don´t know since which patch it works, but its relative new, in patch W works it already. LFS will just save BMP-files. You can just convert all the BMPs to JPGs with one click, use for this just Easy Thumbnails .

W24 is now released.
Please don´t stay with older test patches, i see no sense to keep a old test patch, use then just patch W if u not use the actual test patch.

Driving with only one hand - this mean the other hand is absolutely free for the watch out buttons.
Mouse X = steering
Mouse Y = throttle and brake combined
Mouse left button = handbrake
Mouse right button = horn or watch back
Mouse wheel = gear shifting up and down
Mouse middle = half automatic clutch

Arrow-Buttons = Watch out

Also i use better interface colors, i found out a very much better color-setup.
Go in Options>> Display>> and click right down at interface and change there the following colors:
Big opacity = 0.12
Big Text = dark blue
Button opacity = 0.28
Text unselected = bright blue (i love bright blue really so much that i post this still in here )
Own car = bright blue
AI ahead = yellow
AI behind = orange

have fun

Open the file "data\script\autoexec.lfs" and Add the line /log=messages.txt Now it will log to that file every time you start LFS. The filename can be different. The File will be saved in the LFS-main-Folder. The autoexec.lfs file is a script (a series of /commands) which is run when LFS reaches the entry screen at startup.

Quote from detail :

I don't see any need in "my skins" folder.

In the Skins folder are a lot of default-skins which me confusing. so will a my_skins folder be very great because there are only my own skins without defaults. I´m not sure if you want your zero-point?? zero means nothing, its a non-existent point?

Quote from Hyperactive :

my_skins folder

Thanks a lot for all the true things u wrote.
I want not only a my_skins-folder, i want also a my_scripts, my_engine, my_misc, my_replays etc So why put not all possible My-folders in one mother-folder which is called My_data? This folder should be beside the docs-folder in the LFS-main-folder, because of easier exploring. I mentioned this here not at first time, but how i wrote, whats important for me, ill tell it again and again, because i don´t know whether any developer noticed it. Sorry for a little bit spam in here and thanks for reading.

Quote from bbman :

And if you look closely at those threads on top (they are called "stickies"), you'll find that we ALREADY have an improvement suggestions log...

Yes i was reading this log.

The nonsense-putter can just be banned. Where is the problem.
A big problem is that hyperactive just must do all the work alone and nobody can help him, because nobody have access to the first posting of the sticky thread.

The suggestions-system should be like the Wikipedia.

• Every suggestion should be like a wikipedia-article, and everybody can improve the suggestion. If somebody suggest something in bad english, another user can improve the bad english, thats a great thing.
  
• Every important suggestion have then a good lemma and the problem with double suggestions is then solved.
  
• For discussion is a separated discussion-page in every article, this solve the problem that the devs maybe not see whats the point of the suggestion because the discussion spam improvements of the suggestion in other users postings over.

In a Forum you can just improve the suggestion-article with a discussions-posting, and this will get overspammed with other discussion-postings, this make the system so nontransparent.

Then is it possible to make a suggestions-list of very important suggestions without a lot of discussions-threads. Furthermore the devs have then very much better stuff for their to do list.

It will be nice to have a suggestions-Wiki.
@ devs, what do you think about. If you find my thought very bad, then just delete this thread.

The new auto-results list is just the best setting. CTRL+Tab make you just able to show the list manually, its not really a config change!

Please stop whining about this, i get annoying about. You should use the small map, and if the small map at the right side, not in middle of the chat in qualifying, then is the auto-results list absolutely the best option. I love it really. Why want you see the results everytime, nobody need this, and it cause damage because u dont keep attention at the small map because your list is over the map.

And scawen take us the best laptime and the race-time in the personal results top right. this is more heavy and nobody of you have said any word against this. In screenshots are now the times not visible.

@scawen, yes what important is for me, this will i say again and again, im sorry. But maybe can help if you release your to do list, after reading this list maybe we stop to annoy you with the endless repetition of the same suggestions. For example, my connections list suggestions i repetition a lot of time and dont know whether any developer have noticed it. Many people have repeating said that they want see the ping in connection list, by all the spam in here i guess the developers are not able to read all postings and so can i not know whether any developer take a notice of my suggestion.

Quote from Mr.Muh :

Throttle and steering with one mouse? You must be crazy

Its possible, u need to setup the mouse slower, and u need a optical usb-mouse for best results.

if you use the mouse axes in wheel setup u need set the wheel turn compensation to 1 and by Formula-Cars 150° wheel turn and other cars 300° wheel turn.
by a mouse-setup in Keybard/Mouse you must set a high centre reduction for better results.

I have mouse acceleration on, but maybe its better to turn it off.

With keyboard you never can drive a smooth line in a curve, its still impossible, you just can drive smooth at a straight line.

therefore is it better you buy a better wheel with a higher axes-resolution or you use just your mouse.

the Mouse-Axes can also chosen in a wheel setup, go there in Axes/FF to chose Mouse X for steering and Mouse Y for throttle and brake.

Driving with mouse is difficult to learn, but somebody drive world records with it.
