A BIG achievement in LFS History !!! Congrats to both.
And what a boost in inspiration for "poor" mouse drivers !!!

Hi Scawen, FINAL Italian version is up !!

"Garam approved !!!" ™

Yes, favourits !!!
I was thinking today about starting a thread myself for this.

Another little update in my pdf...

Hi all.
I'm new (that is, extremely new) to skinning, graphics editing and such...

I've just d'loaded The Gimp and the CMX Viewer (nice one!).
I've made a copy of a XFG jpg default skin and "worked" on it a bit, adding new layers.
When saving, I saved a copy of the layered xcf file for future memory, and saved the jpg too. A box warning me about transparencies popped up...I clicked on Export...

CMX Viewer now says it can't open the jpg file
What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks.


Edit: I opened a psd template (one of those from http://www.lfs-gear.com/kitz.html), added something and resized it to 1024x1024 jpg...quite embarassing with you skin-gurus, but I should say it works!
After some more work with The Gimp, I think it was a problem with the jpg file name: it was too long for the CMX Viewer.

Hi all.
I just bought an S2 voucher for a friend.

I searched info on forums here, and I thought it was pretty simple, but...my friend keeps on getting an "Invalid Voucher" message :-(
Please help!!

• My Paypal payment was confirmed,
  
• On my license and payment details page on lfs.net, I can see I have made 2 payments (one when I bought my S2 in September, one today, both 24£),
  
• On the same line of the 2 payments I have 2 different codes: I guess I entered the first one for my license (don't remember exactly), and the other one is the Voucher Code
  
• Under these lines it says "List of vouchers used 0". Do I need to activate my Voucher somehow before giving it to my buddy ?
  
• He just created a new account and he's a legally registered Demo user, both on website and ingame,
  
• I gave him the Voucher Code over the phone, he enters it in his license detail page, and he keeps on getting the described error. UH!
  

I'm sure I'm missing something, just don't know where and what !!!
Please..............

Edit: of course I was missing something...I just had to check the correct e-mail account, and NOT the wrong one, wondering about how slooooooow was Voucher e-mail....sorry for false alarm, my bad !!

Quote from Scawen :

Thank you for that.

I have sent an email to ask the translator of the main Italian files to confirm this is OK with him.

After that I'll put them in my patch folder to be included in the next patch.

I will assume that your name is correctly entered in your LFS account and use that on the credits screen.

Thanks also for pointing out the file name error in the Galego Westhill Test Drive FO8 - that was important as it had the wrong file name, it was not recognised by LFS when loading the Galician training lessons.

You're welcome Scawen, it's been a pleasure, and many thanks to you, Eric and Victor for this great sim !
Yes, my name is correct on LFS account.

P.S. #1 : currently translating the KEYS.PDF, AUTOCROSS.TXT, COMMANDS.TXT files in DOCS folder...

P.S. #2 : I have hijacked at least 10 of my ITAF flightsim team mates over to :lfs: in these days!!

Hi Scawen.
Here's the final Italian training translation (S2 ALPHA 0.5Z).

I am not at home, and won't be for some time, that's why I ask instead of just trying.

Hi there.
I'm browsing the monitor and the screenshots forums, but I wasn't able to find an answer.

How does LFS behave with wide screen resolutions ? Any known issue ?
Does it just show "more" world on both sides ? Does it place black stripes at top and bottom screen ?

I saw many posts where wide screens are largely suggested as a good buy, so I guess there must not be major annoyances...

Good to read a positive review !

What I wanted to know, though, when you write "You still get all the old DFP buttons just not the new ones yet", you mean/know/think that it will be fully supported in the future ? I know you're not a Logitech support employee, but what's your guess/experience ?

My fear is that those dials and things are too much PlayStation specific, but maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks anyway for replying Todd.

Hi all.
I never had a wheel before, and yesterday I was going to buy the DFGT, then I refrained. And today I find this thread...doesn't sound like it is a much loved wheel over here...

Anyway, you old-time drivers, do you think that Logitech will support it with nice Windows drivers one day? I heard that it must be used with the DFP drivers, and some buttons and/or dials don't work with the pc.
What is your experience with Logitech/Wingmanteam support over the years?
If I buy one, can I be sure that I'll find correct drivers soon or later?

Thanx

Quote from evilpimp :

LOL. The irony. The one who designed them is black on top of that .

Bah thats a minor detail... Usually when racing you don't stop to check if theres a black man or woman in the crowd O_O.

I don't even check if there are white ones...

Yes, it could easily be I'm wrong, I don't know.
While I was counting all my translated files, checking for errors, I just noticed one file was missing...
I just pointed it out here because it's the one and only file with filename different from all the others.
Since no one else noticed it, probably it's not a bug, it's only my noobiness !!

Hi Scawen, hi all translators.

I have just finished translating training in italian.
I'll start double checking tomorrow (now I'm dead tired and my eyes are going ).

While working on mine, I spotted a "bug" in the file naming of a single Galician lesson...in the "Westhill Testdrive - Galego.txt", the FO8 car name is missing...

I'll soon post my translation here.

Edit1: I just submitted it to the guys at DrivingItalia.NET, and I'm waiting for feedback.
Edit2: Submitted to PLZ-Team too.
Edit3: More or less 60 downloads totalled...
Edit4: Submitted to my flight-sim mates (who also like some "ground" action).
Edit5: Seems everyone's satisfied with it. Made few minor corrections.
Edit6: Submitted final corrected version to the 3 sites above, waiting for final feedback. I'll post it here in one or two days.

It happened yesterday to me too. Every racer went LAG and disappeared...then after a short while I was disconnected.

By the time I found the solution on the forums, < than 5 minutes, the problem solved by itself (I mean, without the need of reactivating S2, as I found posted here somewhere).

I don't remember 100% exactly, but I'll try...

• create an account
  
• choose a WEBpassword (to be used on forums, LFSWorld site, ecc.)
  
• choose a GAMEpassword (to be used to unlock the game)
  
• you'll get an e-mail with details (click on the link in the mail and follow instructions)
  
• launch the game
  
• enter your nick in the OPTIONS -> PLAYER screen
  
• click OK
  
• click MULTIPLAYER
  
• try to join one of the demo public servers
  
• enter your nick again and GAMEpassword
  
• (maybe) you have to click on something that says "unlock demo".
  

That should make it!

In the main game screen, bottom right corner, you should read something about your DEMO license.

Quote from CasseBent :

if DFGT = DFP then yeah, they work.

No they're not...don't look the same to me.
Does anybody actually HAVE a DFGT ?

You have to create your own account on LFS main site in order to multiplay on demo servers.
