Thanks for your feedback

Not my best race but probably good enough for the demo of the mod. At times I drove OK, at times really badly.

But what I noticed in all the tests of the mod and various bikes is that the tires get way too hot very quickly. Regardless of whether it's a street or race setup?! Is that still a problem with the current tire physics? What are your experiences?

Hello

I'm working on a mod for the G27 steering wheel to make it easier to drive motorcycles in LFS (and of course other simulations) without having to make a big investment. Of course, this doesn't make driving motorcycles more realistic, but it does make it easier. Previous versions/attempts have been a lot of fun.

The only component that was purchased is the dark gray plastic tube that serves as the handlebar.

The following components are from the 3D printer:
- The mount on the steering wheel (2x including clips) (PLA)
- The handles (TPU)
- The gear extensions (PLA)

The 3D objects (STL) will probably be made available on thingiverse.com later. I'll keep you updated. In any case, I'm looking forward to your feedback.

By the way: The pictures no longer represent the current "development status". Adjustments/improvements have already been made.





A video demo of what it will actually look like will follow as soon as possible.

In the meantime: Have a nice weekend

I don't know why the reviews so far have been so bad. There hasn't even been a single comment yet?!

But the steering wheel texture is really pretty ugly! You should replace it.

But I haven't done a spin yet... so I can't rate the mod yet. I'll do that tomorrow.

Quote from Drifteris :

That's because riders head is pretty close to them so game turns them off to...

But why don't your other bike mods have the same problem? In these cases, however, it works perfectly. Maybe I don't understand the fundamental problem here.

Anyway. Thanks for the solution

The mirrors don't work or only work when you're cornering. So they're pretty useless.

Interesting that no one has noticed this yet? Or are everyone using the other setups (not the "Stock")?

Good to see you released the latest test patch. Thank you

I previously had the problem when restarting the host with version 0.7f that the host did not appear in the host list. After stopping and starting again, it worked. Not an issue on my part, but maybe helpful for you?

Another point (more of a detail on my part):
The previous articles on new releases had a URL like:
https://www.lfs.net/patch-7e

The current article, however, has a URL in this format:
https://www.lfs.net/patchInfo/patch_7f.php

I noticed it by chance when I wanted to link the article on my team site.

Hello

I know that this is probably the wrong place to advertise my race events (with LFS). But who knows, maybe one or two (hopefully more) Swiss people will find this and get into the sim racing topic with my events...

URL: https://ready2simrace.ch

The website is only in German. However, Google Translate can help (with a few display errors when using this method).

Feedback is of course welcome.

And yes, I have a commercial license for that.

If there were to be a track editor for the community, that would be useful (road signs). Before that, I don't really see the benefit - especially before the physics/graphics update. As long as the developers are working on two versions, in my opinion any feature requests are pointless and a waste of development time.

Let the developers finish the big update first.

Quote from ivancsx :

Thankyou, as for the driver side, my consideration is because Varis Ridox car are RHD only (the one I'm referring too), I might reconsider it if there lot of people who wanted this car has LHD too 😄

As for gear indicator, I dont think it would fit as real Supra doesnt have one, but same with driver side, I might reconsider if it needed or not

Thank you for the fast reply

We will see

Really nice and impressive looking car - great work!

To bad it's only with driver side "fixed to right".

Perhaps you will find a place in the really cool cockpit where I can read the current gear?

No problem for me - thanks for quick fixing

Do you plan also a command to set "Look sensitivity" and/or "Look centre reduction"?

Currently with the new command "/lookf" I can "only" switch to "steer" but can't set/change the sensitivity, right? And additonal for "mouse_x" the "Look centre reduction". Perhaps thats could be possible with additonal parameters like "/lookf steer 1.0" or "/lookf mouse_x 1.0 0.1"?

If not: That's OK too

Anyway: Thanks for the new test patch

Quote from ivo_drifta :

R32-R34 are manufactured RHD only. It's more realistic this way, but for improving the gaming experience it could works.

Ah! Thanks for the explanation

It's very unusual for me. I would personally welcome a version with a seat on the left. It's your vehicle. Do you need to know... alternatively publish a "new" version which no longer corresponds to the "original" but can be driven on both sides?

But I will try later again the current version...

Do you plan to support also the drive side on the left? But I don't know what this mean (how many work to do).

But anyway: Very cool looking car - great work

Sorry - Looks like with the installation was something wrong. Reinstalled 0.7E and now with the current test patch. Connecting works fine now, too.

Someone tried the latest version 0.7E8 on multiplayer already? If I try to connect to my server I get an OOS - CAR error message. The connection is closed then.

The previous version 0.7E7 works fine to me before.

Events in activity log

Real user and player name replaced.

And yes, the server is now also restartet. Issue still there.

Fanaleds works fine with LFS (and default cars). But you need to configure each car first! Out of the box Fanaleds shows only leds (blinking) if pit limiter is on. In any other case without configure the cars nothing will shown.

Since LFS with mod support the mod car names are wrong detected (but work also). I've reported that to one of the developer. Hope he find time to fix that issue. But perhaps a donation will "push" such fixes, too?

I've posted that problem already in the thread of the mod (https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/96405-E-CHALLENGER). But I'm not sure if this really a problem of the mod or LFS itself.

Perhaps someone can try/reproduce that too?

Issue with (at least - not tested any other car)
Car/Mod: E-Challenger or E-Challenger Evo (can reproduce with both cars)
Track: Blackwood Historic [Reverse]

Proceed:
Out of the garage with the speed limiter active and drive towards the track on the throttle. On the slightly sloping route in the pit lane, the speed increases to over 80 km/h despite the speed limiter and causes a drive-through penalty.

Maybe this is legitimate, but it surprised me yesterday when it happened to me.

Cool mod! Thanks

I had strange behavior today. But it's not clear to me whether it's a bug in the mod or in LFS.

Track: Blackwood Historic [reverse]
Pit lane: Speed limiter on

Shortly before leaving the pit lane, I received a drive-through penalty - with the speed limiter still on... and rightly so, the speed increased to over 80 km/h?! It's slightly downhill there. But I was already on the gas pedal.

I was also able to reproduce it with the E-Challenger Evo.

Perhaps someone can confirm/verify that too?

Thank you for your answer

You can simply change that by opening LFSServers.cfg in the Bin folder and change the remoteport other than 3002, for example 3003 or 4003 or whatever you like.

Same error with 4003... also other ports (64003 or something else). And no, there is no other instance of LFSLapper running. I verified that with the task manager. The quitting instance is the only.

But anyway - Connecting to the server with unlock access to insim (thanks for the hint) works now.

Before I'm trying to connect to a local LFS instance. My target is to build for streaming a interface like that (but with no errors; currently the solution is faulty/not perfect):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLtPLHvW4IQ

Currently I'm using the (outdated) jInSim version (yes, a Java version). But I have to implement all changes of InSim in this library myself (that's a matter of my time/resources). I was hoping that maybe I can use your LFSLapper solution for the same. Could you answer, if this should by possible? (before I invest many time to try) Thanks

Hello

I'm trying the first time LFSLapper (with version 7.0.9.4 under windows).

Connection looks good to me.

But that's all then. In the LFSLapper.lpr file I have found MyTest() which I should use with "!test" as chat message. I did not get any error but in the other hand, nothing is shown. If I understand the function correctly, I should see in my case something like "[SVRT]pasci is testing..."

If I use the LFSLapper console and type "msg forum test", I get this message inside LFS. So the connection looks good to me.

BTW: If I quit LFSLapper, I get everytime this message. But only the current, quitting instance exist. What this message means?


Thanks for any hints!

With Pimax Crystal and active FFR LFS still crash. In the logs the headset is shown as "Pimax 8K". But that probably doesn't matter.

If I disable FFR LFS works fine and looks really cool! I'm eagerly awaiting the new graphics/lighting version! That's going to be great!

Sorry for the request here: But how can I actively help with the translation (German)? Are only those mentioned on the translation page allowed to do this? Currently these would be: GP4Flo, Gutholz, Limiter

I'm logged in (via lfs.net), but I'm not allowed/can't edit.

There are still - in the official version 0.6E - untranslated strings.

Hm, I didn't find the string in the translation file (also not in the english one):
Sound: Prevent clipping (EXPERIMENTAL)
Misc: Full physics for remote cars
Misc: Allow regional downloads

A little translation bug in german (Deutsch.txt). The key isn't mentioned in the string.

3h_res_head Scheinwerfer
should be
3h_res_head 3 - Scheinwerfer

and

3h_cyc_lght Scheinwerfer durchschalten
should be
3h_cyc_lght 3 - Scheinwerfer durchschalten

Interesting mod - I hope I can drive it next week.

But why do you always take screenshots in dark areas/under bridges?
Cockpit looks very nice - but please also take a screenshot on the street and not under bridges
