This is a good thing for LFS IMO for the reality side of it anyway. I own a 2001 Vauxhall Astra 1.6 8v. Now that has a digital throttle (Also known as fly-by-wire). My car also has an idle control valve. When the idle control valve notices the rpms go below the ECU's set tick over, it will increase the throttle automatically to keep the engine ticking over at X rpm. I know quite a lot about this acutally, due to my idle control valve being gunked up and causing my car to not tick over propley.

Therefor all LFS is doing...is what its ment to.

I hit and wrote off a BMW 3 series compact on a 53 plate. The passenger came out worse in the BMW because she wasn't wearing a seat belt. I wouldnt say I was a bad driver, it was just a laps of concentration that led to the crash. I only claimed liability to make my life a little easier and not risk losing my licence.

I have to say, I had this very same issue with InSim app's I made. I really couldn't figure it out, then I made my very own InSim code, with dynamic sized IS_BTN packets. That seemed to solve all my issues.

Quote from The General Lee :As I said on MSN, really sorry to hear about your accident. Just be thankful your still alive.

Yea, Thanks. Quite surprising really, The passenger of the BMW came off with a broken nose and facial injury's. All I got was a little stiff and a bruised nee.

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :Oh dear mcgas. How did it happen? Being a typical new driver or a genuine accident?

p.s any pics?

Genuine accident I suppose. I came off a roundabout, checked my rear view mirror(Possibly too long), Then had this BMW coming towards me. I must have drifted across the road whist checking my rear view mirror. No pics, Didn't get chance to get any. Was too messed up after the crash.

Quote from sam93 :I have got hold of a copy of Accelerated C++ and just put the code in of:
// [I]a small C++ program[/I]
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}

When I go to compile it, its opens then shut really quickly, opens a command prompt, how can I get this to stay open?

Try this...

// a small C++ program
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

Quote from JO53PHS :But when I open attatchments/new windows it opens with IE.. Something to work on I suppose

That's because, The object you added from the tool box. Is basically a mini Internet explorer engine. IT does the hard job of parsing web pages within a window, You just do the rest. Seen as you arn't handling new tabs, and new windows. Internet explorer is doing it for you, Therefor opening Internet explorer 7.

I can't really see a point to this myself, Wouldn't it make more sense to just ask the programmer to add options for things like BTN id's? (Also, You have to rememeber button X,Y values too, or else you could end up conflicting them too.)

I have a little program I have been toying with like MetaMod. It makes use of InSim and can dynamically load and unload .dll files with C# code, and then when packets come in, Fire events inside of the .dll. I guess I should maybe try and get a working version of it, let people have a play with it. Sadly I don't have time atm though, Have to find a job asap.
