I've also had a problem with my shifter. I don't remember exactly which gears didn't work, but I think it was 5th and 6th and reverse.
The ring, which holds the leather surrounding the stick under the knob was loose (it is only fixed by some glue). I noticed it when shaking the shifter. It fell down the stick and blocked it in its movements. I took the knob off and removed the ring, now everything is working fine.
I wonder what happens after S3. It would be so nice to see LFS will be released as open-source, say 3 Years after S3. This way LFS would never get old.
I did something recently which is exactly what you need to do this. You have "virtual gauges" which can be configured (colors, size, position, etc) and placed in a window/on a screen. It includes 7-Segment displays as well as analog gauges, rpm-bars, etc. Maybe I find some time between christmas and the new year to get it to a releaseable state.
For any other "first" corner thats true, but NOT for Blackwood GP "T1". It is most likely the oldest named corner in LFS. It is also the FIRST corner, everyone new to LFS sees when entering the game. I for myself remember calling it "T1" since somewhere around 2003.
Oops, now I noticed that CrossOver is wine, too. And it's the commercial version from the authors of wine. So I bet it should be possible to run lfs with it, too. Even if lfs doesn't have an installer.
I heard that parallels does not have 3d-acceleration support, yet. You could try "darwine" which is a "wine" implementation for intel macs. (http://darwine.opendarwin.org/)
Not really. Because the server would only send identifiers (filename, url, or such) to the client and the client would download it from lfsworld or elsewhere. At least thats the way skin downloading works.
I would expect the following behaviour: If I join a server which uses custom DDS, LFS asks me if I want to download them.
Did you join a race once you were connected? (Just in case...)
Settings in cfg.txt:
OutGauge ID 0 OutGauge Mode 2 OutGauge Port 21567 OutGauge Delay 3 OutGauge IP 127.0.0.1
If your LFSMon.py does not run on the same host LFS is running, set OutGauge IP to the ip adress of the other host. Also, change line 15 of LFSMon.py: replace 'localhost' with the ip address of the host running the script (do not remove the ').
It is also possible that the Java app does not work for your mobile. I've only tested it with a SE K800i and Siemens S65.
Good Luck
PS. Please don't expect too much, as it is a proof of concept and not a finished app. Thx.
Indeed it is. There is python for win CE, palm, nokia series 60, PSP, and more (http://www.awaretek.com/pymo).
Anyway, these implementations aren't really standardised. AFAIK, each of them uses an own graphics-API, which makes platform-independent development quite hard.
(But believe me, if I would own any of those, there would be an outgauge-display for it! )
Java/J2ME is available and has the same API on almost every mobile phone/handheld, thats what I meant.
Hm, I'm bold enough to say that my proof of concept works well. Someone with J2ME-experience, especially graphics programming, could indeed create something which is closer to a usable app compared to the stuff I've posted.
This is no excuse, as the J2ME toolkit comes with an emulator. :haha:
