thanks for your invitation

I/We will see...

I have another problem. I've got following error message:
InSim Relay connection failed : [SecurityErrorEvent type="securityError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2048"] - Error #2048

I've tried with Firefox and IE9, too. The same error. But if I'm using the dedicated remote tool I can connect to my server without any problem and see the "race".

Checking with http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ my Flash Player version 11.2.202.233 is installed (Firefox and IE).

The thread behind your link is already closed.

Everything works fine. Problem found... need to open my network firewall for "Adobe Flash Policy" connection -> http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=75166

Who to hell is thinking about something cracy things and why they don't use standard ports like http or https to get the policy?!

Hello

I know the next phrases sounds a little bit freaky...

But my friend and I drive very rarely LFS (not enough free time). We drive everytime with AI drivers (between we know mostly how to handle there "driving style"). I already buy a second license (I know this sounds freaky twice ) as a workaround for the limitation of only 2 additional AI driver for every host (if someone also will drive at the same host). So we do have a driving field of 9 cars (7 AI). It will be nice if I can add additional AI hosts without a GUI. Now I need a PC to host additional AIs. By the way I need also set this host manually to "ready" to start the race. Possible this could also be automated (check if only AIs are at this host or something like that).

So I wanna ask the devs if it is possible to create a small binary/environement like the "dedicated host" server to simple add some AI drivers to a online racing event.

btw. Yes, there are many servers with many drivers... but we do not have the needed skills (driving/car setup) to drive on this servers. So we wanna drive on our server.

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

Hmm, wow I didn't think that - I thought it worked on Vista/7 both.

Really sorry about that!

Upgrading to 7 is cheaper than a new video card(s) though, and well worth it IMO. Though I never had a problem in Vista I think it was because I started using it near the end of it's life cycle ( all the SPs ).

I've been using 7 since the RC came out and been really really happy.

Again, sorry about the oversight I just assumed it worked fine on Vista as well

Now I have installed Windows 7 x64. Since that I have found 2 diffrent options between Vista und Windows 7.

First:
Of corse Surround is available.

Second:
I have connect 2 display at the first and 1 display and the second graphic card. With Vista I CAN'T activate SLI in this configuration... with Windows 7 there is no problem to activate it.

I'm really happy with Vista... but I think I buy Windows 7 for playing. I'm not happy about that... but it looks that I haven't a choice (if I will use surround gaming).

For performance information:
LFS with some high res textures (tracks, skies, landscapes) and 19 AI driver... fps counter is around 50 fps (@7966x1440 - additional pixel for screen borders). With only 10 AIs I get ~100 fps... any time with following quality settings: AA 8x / AF 16x

With Soft Triplehead without quality settings (disabled) I've got ~30 fps!

Thanks to everyone for your feedback

Bad news to me... Surround gaming needs Windows 7.

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Operating System

• Microsoft Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit
  

http://www.nvidia.com/object/3 ... -system-requirements.html

I'm using two ASUS Graphic Cards:
ENGTX570 DCII/2DIS/1280MD5

I think I need to find an option to use the resolutions of all screens as one desktop resolution, not? Or how I should configure that?

I'm using the driver from Nvidia (296.10).

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

If you have 2 570s, you can use nVidia Surround - you don't need Soft Triplehead.

Not sure what else you play, but for LFS, what you have is more than enough

edit: sorry I noticed the resolution. The 680 would be slower than your two 570s overall mind you, I don't know how much vRAM your version of the 570s have. But you'd lose some raw horsepower according to every benchmark I've read. I suggest you just try using nVidia Surround instead of STH that'd probably give you better performance to begin with. To set it up, it's in the same area where you enable/disable SLI & select the physX processor.

Thanks for your answer

First I have tried to find a solution without Soft Triple Head... looks I'm to stubid to find it. I will try again... thanks - Could it be a problem if I'm using Windows Vista instead of Windows 7 or should on both OS the same options are available?

Hello

At the moment I'm using 2x GTX 570 with 3x Dell 27" (at 2560x1440 each display). I'm using Vista x64. Now I need to use Soft Triplehead to race with all screens. I'm not really happy with this solution. Since Nvidia GTX680 supports for 3 Displays at the same Graphic Card I'm thinking about a new Graphic Card (more performance, less power needed).

Now I'm not sure if I should buy a Nvidia GTX680 (Kepler 104) or a AMD Radeon 7970. The small VRAM of Nvidia Card (2 GB) I think isn't so good for this high resolutions. At the other hand GTX680 is faster then AMD... and in around 1/2 year Nvidia release the next Graphic Card with Kepler 110 which will have 4 GB VRAM and be faster then the Kepler 104-GPU.

What do you think? Buy Nvidia or AMD or wait for the next Nvidia GPU?

Thanks for your feedback

I'm not sure, which solution I will use (own setup or simply no silent install of lfs). But thanks, Victor and others, for your ideas and feedback.

Of course, this is a solution, too.

Thanks

By the way: Why Live for Speed is not visible/listed under installed software (Windows XP)?

I want to install Live for Speed silently in a other directory than c:\lfs

LFS_S2_6B_setup.exe /S
> Install under c:\lfs

LFS_S2_6B_setup.exe /S /D:d:\lfs
> Install under c:\lfs too

All settings are also disabled (no desktop/startmenu entries) and no shortcuts to lfs file extensions. I can't find any informations to change this default silent install settings.

Is there any additional options to install silently with all GUI options enabled (icons, file extension shortcuts)?

i have XP and i tried that already, no luck

I'm sorry for the wrong information. Soft Triple Head only works with 2 graphic cards.

I can but not in fullscreen mode.

You don't have "span" mode anymore with Windows Vista. Try SoftTH from kegetys (http://www.kegetys.net/SoftTH/) (but only version 1.x not 2.x).

After installing patch 0.6A2 over previous test patch I can drive only alone. I do not see the "Add AI"-Button in single player and multiplayer. I activate LFS with my license (before LFS was in demo mode); nothing changed.

After close LFS and restart again, everything looks good. Very strange to me.

Translation bug:
German UI active: If "low wind" or "high wind" is selected and also one or more AIs are selected, I get an englisch error message: AI Drviers can't yet drive in windy conditions. The same problem also in french UI...

Cool! Thanks Scawen

Very funny to see the old Blackwood track layout again. I don't remember that there is a tree in the first chicane.

Quote from blackbird04217 :

I wouldn't think the license plates need colors? So when setting the value remove all the color code from it allowing 8 characters still? Would probably be an easy solution, I think?

Good question! So it will be better to remove the color selection for number plate.

Quote from iFastLT :

Yes, color codes are counted in. Because
Numberpl - 8chars
^1Number - 8chars
^1Nu^2mb - 8chars
And so on

Ok, thanks for your answer :-)

Hello

I don't find any similar thread with my search words. So I'm sorry, if this already known.

If I change the number plate without color selection, I can use 8 chars for the number. But, if a select a color, then I could only use 6 chars for the name. The possible number is shorter, if I select an other color too. Is this a (program) internal limitation or a bug? Are "color codes" also by counted as an displayed char?

I have this problem with Version Z28.

Thanks
Pasci

works fine but show a wrong symbol (not an arrow up/down)


Do you use a special font or something like that? How can I fix that? Ideas what I can try?

I'm using a german windows xp with swiss german country settings (don't think this matter).

thanks

If I play an SPR file and use the fast forward/fast rewind bar at bottom, lfs needs many time to switch to the selected position within SPR. I've tried fast rewind in first round and lfs need many seconds to switch to the desired replay position. The replay is recorded with Y24 and played also in Y24. If I'm using an MPR, fast forward/fast rewind works fine and really fast.

Anyone could reproduce this?

Quote from Scawen :

KNOWN ISSUES : The AI will still drive into you quite a lot when you are racing, in the pit lane or on the main track. The focus so far has been their speed and racing reliability, and their ability to pit. I expect to work on their behaviour around other cars this week.

Thanks for you're work - and nice to know, what should by fixed also soon. I hope this evening I can drive with friends and some AI via internet... yesterday I'm driving with 19 AIs. Only the main problem (which you want fix anyway - see above) I could report and a little chaos within the pitbox.

I hope, the next (AI) test patch coming soon...

once again: all over - very impressiv and nice work

PS: Could ai also drive with wind soon? At the moment both isn't allowed.

Ups... bug found: If I zome with Shift and mouse wheel... zoom factor jump from 100/50/25/13 to 3 %...

zoom factors 800, 400, 200, 100 works fine

Quote from Stuff :

Bah! Yeah.. very stupid mistake on my part (of course) for the initialize bug. Left some debugging code in there that caused all those problems. Anyway, its updated and I added a few more features as well. Let me know how it goes.. -click me

Thanks for the new version - translation with "Umlaute" works now fine. I'm not happy with my translation - possible it's a template (sorry, I can't upload the .lng file - it's only possible as zip file)? Will the diffrent objects be also translatable later (p.e. banner ad1, bale, etc)?

Some times if I start LYTe, the Icons in the menu bar are missing?! If I close the program and start it again, they are visible?!

I can't resize the dividing line between object menu and layout - is this an uncoded program part or a bug? I can only hide the object menu with single click.

Quote from sil3ntwar :

Got this error Stuff. Cant create new layouts or open old layouts.

[27/06/2007 6:30:42 p.m.] 91: Object variable or With block variable not set in frmLayout.Initilize

I've got the same error message.

Other problem:
I've tried to translate the GUI in german, but some chars (Umlaute; german_options.jpg) looks bad. An other point is (english_options.jpg) if the titel of "save options" / "load options" in the options dialog is correct. Doesn't it should named as "save layouts" / "load layouts"?

But else: Nice, great application
