i cant get this to work..

this is my config file

--------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<lfg>
<!-- The ip and the insim port of the host -->
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<insimport>29999</insimport>
<!-- Playername -->
<playername>^1STCC ^7- C.Redman</playername>
</lfg>
--------------------------------------------------------------

when i get on a track by my own, i press 't' then '/insim 29999'

then press button 3 under the LCD and it gives me a layed out lcd screen but with no digits or anything.

any ideas?

Will you make your mind up jakg

he meant MOMO.. lol

id also like a filter that i can click that gives me a list of games that are not noob infested.

i just thought i would throw this idea in the pile, i havent read the whole of this topic so i appologise if its been mentioned.

it was regarding the idea of having the training passed before you can join a multiplayer game. well..

how about making it so when you create a server, public or private there is an option to tick 'Training' (or something along those lines) once this has been ticked the server only lets ppl join who have completed the training missions.

this would reduce the number of 'noobs' on them servers.

nice

very nice sam

well to say i can only just hear ppl talkin through the window of my car when the engine is turned off i hardly doubt you would hear spectators 50 metres away with the engine on and having it near redline..

i dont suppose it helps not having a EAX surround sound setup (just 2 speaker headphones)

but i did hear the crowds in the background when you drove past.. but in reality you wouldnt beable to hear them at all..

the only thing you could hear is the engine of the car,..

maybe on the external views, like the flyby were the camera is situated near the crowd then i guess you can hear it.

when i first heard about lfs it wasnt even common knowledge. it was in its beta beta beta stage ( when the drivers didnt even wear driver suits!)

what i liked about it was the fact i was racing with other REAL LIFE drivers... better than ANY AI in ANY game..

if you played much of the demo, then you should have a pretty reasonable understanding of how to drive, i dont know if you have a wheel or not but you should get one if you dont.

i think you should just give it a good try.. do 10,000 miles then come back and see what you think..

there are many things you can do in www.lfsworld.net

Tolerable, but please tell me it's tuned properly, not just had a turbo whacked on. And for the love of God, don't fill it with audio equipment.

no it has a turbo as standard, (punto GT 1.4 turbo) no audio shite apart from 2 6x9's in the back parcel shelf..

power we are looking at 180bhp per tonne

yea so do i..

i have to recalibrate it slightly to the left to compensate then the cars drive straight when i straighten the wheel..

tis annoying tho.

can anyone post there settings here so i can download them ?

i have tried to search but couldnt find any.

update on mine

i have found some thread were ppl talk about getting the raf files to work in ghost mod, but no1 actually has an app or an explanation on how to acheive this.

Quote from xaotik :

Yup - search for the "raf2ghost" tool - it should be listed in the unofficial addon database sticky.

EDIT:
Actually, since it's "rafghost" and not "raf2ghost" and I probably sent you on a wild goose chase here's the direct link to it:
http://metallalchemist.googlepages.com/RafGhost_en.zip

page can not be found.

is it possible to load a hotlap (spr) into the ghost car mod so i can race against the hotlap time?

if so.

how do i do it?

i did have a search but couldnt find anything.

is there a way to make the shadows darker under the car? atm i think they are too light

Quote from Flycantbird :

Probably a good idea to have increased customizing options, but, in the meantime.....can you just not look at your speed ? Or is it like a big red button that says 'don't push me' ?

its exactly like that big red button that says dont push me..

i also have it on digital view lol.. so i cant help but look!

i need it gone lol!

hahaah

could someone more this into improvement section please?

Quote from Forbin :

Haven't you guys ever heard of the virtual clocks option? If you're bothered by seeing your speed, set it to analog instead of digital. That way you're not bothered by a difference of a few mph/kmh.

Of course, one might wonder why you want to use wheels view in the first place when it's not terribly realistic... unless of course your computer is so bad that you get a huge boost in framerate from using it.

Oh yeah, and that tach you have drawn screams NFS to me.

it was an example, thats all... just to give a visual representation to my idea.

i have to use the wheel view because i get rubbish frames in cockpit

Quote from alco64 :

This is actually a really good idea! cbf checkin to see if anyone has thought of it before either :P

Also this should be the 'Improvement Suggestions' forum

yea i know i thought that after i posted it.. but more ppl look in here and it can always be moved.

i find i am always slower or mess up on the next corner if i look at my speed.

all i need to see are my revs, i dont need to know what speed im doing, obviously this is an option you can turn on and off.

maybe my layout isnt the best but i also find that left and right moving red square annoying to look at.

i practise online coz alot of the STCC guys join and practise with me.

+1 for me
