Quote from Scawen :

Arabic is quite a difficult one to support because the text needs to go in the reverse direction, so it's not just a case of adding the Arabic alphabet. A lot needs to be done with the text formatting and the way the characters are drawn on the screen. I haven't researched how the input method works and how you combine Latin text and Arabic text in one string, and how the direction of the text changes in one ascii string... it sounds quite confusing. Anyway, I'm interested in it but I really can't estimate when we can support Arabic.

Quote from Scawen :

[...]Anyway Arabic in LFS is not forgotten - I'm interested in supporting the right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew, after studying them at some point but I think it will still be a long time before these become a priority... as you know the Scirocco is the main priority at the moment [...]

LFS is quite picturesque going by the original screenshots...
Nice edits guys!

Hi, its found in Airio.srv

Have look at "_config" text file for some tips!

DEV's of LFS do not have enough respect for us to write anything as evidenced by the fact that even working on a game

[...] recently I've been continuing with the tyre model. Specifically I've been improving the non-real-time tyre carcass model so it can correctly predict the stiffness in various directions and contact patch width / length for a given deflection at various camber amounts and pressures, for all different tyre sizes. It's a long time I've been on that, I know, but the gradual improvements in that will make the real-time model much closer to reality, so I think it's the right thing to do.

The server probably has vote ban (I've not tried it myself), which allows people who connect to server to vote-to-ban.

So a couple of guys can just sit on a host and start banning anyone who joins... you know, for fun.

Simply find another server. The vote ban only lasts 12 hours, so you'll be able to connect to it later (assuming it was a vote ban).

When your post count is higher than your total lap count its time to hit the track again.

Words can't even...

Quote from Scawen :

I have never suggested or supported putting a Diesel in LFS and I'll say that now before some crazy rumours start.

:weeping:

I was kidding.

But Scavier could troll us all by releasing the TDi after all this waiting.

Thanks!

PS: Uploaded to the forum as a .zip file so it can be downloaded when the megaupload link fails.

Its gonna be the TDi.

hehe

How often does one see the "Host is full" message these days anyway?

Hi , adding you and your team to LFSworld is only for info/stats purposes. The addition is not linked with the sim (as far as I know).

You simiply need to make a new driver name (or rename the existing one).

Go to LFS's Options > Driver > Driver Name:
Say for example the existing one is Kaktus. Just click on it and you can rename it. If you want to make a new driver name, just click on new.

Type in [SIMD] Kaktus (or whatever that you like). You can get colours by pressing CTRL (and clicking to select the colour before you type). Or You can simply press CTRL+1, CTRL+2 etc. to directly select the colour.

Hope that helped.

PS: When I said that LFSWorld team registration is not linked, I meant that I could rename myself to [SIMD] Silver and race online without any issue. It sort of registers your team on LFSWorld, but it wont prohibit others from using the tag...

Thanks. Although just pulling out the USB when I'm done fo the day is easier.

Hallelujah!

Works fine for me!

No crashes, can set the desired rpm for each car easily, and works online.

The ffb is a bit odd when you join track - a quick lock to lock turn and its all good (not sure if its related to the program, but I usually dont have to do it).

The LEDs are on even when LFS is closed. No biggie, but I thought I mention it.

Many thanks for this, much appreciated!

No worries; have fun!

1st one (No FFB)
Works fine, but hangs on alt+tab or if LFS loose focus (didn't check if it hangs on exit).

2nd one
Works fine, with ffb(!), but again hangs on alt+tab (or if LFS looses focus). Does NOT hang on exit.

Grats on getting it to work!

Edit: Nothing beeped this time!

I can't do metallic effects

It works - no crashes etc. except as you said it hangs on exit.

No ffb. (When you said "It should not interfere with force feedback this time." do you expect ffb to work?)

No hassle, happy to help!

Stick to what you get with LFS!

We're not allowed to talk about getting other cars into LFS in here.

Installed the Visual C++ thingy. It still crashes on start up if the G27 is plugged in.

Now even when I launch without the G27 and plug it in later and try to change controllers to mouse and back, it crashes.

Earlier [before installing the Visual C++ thingy] repeatedly launched LFS without G27, joined track, plugged in G27, change controllers and drove around.

Interesting.

Launches LFS without issue when the wheel is disconnected.

Plugged it in. Didn't crash.

Althought Controller was selected as Wheel in Options > Controls the G27 was not recognized. Switched to Mouse, LFS beeped and the G27 was recognized - although pedals were set to combined (most of my settings/previous wheel button binds seemed to be lost).

First LED lighted up at 3000. Red ones light up around 5750.

Wheel turn limited to 180 (450ish in-game). 450-ish in profiler. Changing the value in LFS does not make a difference.

No ffb (set yes, and tried at various values)

Alt+tab back into LFS will make it crash again. "Failed to bind socket. G27 LED wont be available".
