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".

Apologies in advance for being a nub; what are the steps that need to be carried out to test this?

i) In LFS's cfg change outgauge port and IP.
ii) Move the dll file into main LFS folder.

That's it? Or am I missing something? (i.e. launch the .exe that was posted earlier...?)

Doing just the first two crashes LFS when launching (didn't hear a beep). Of course, that's expected if I'm not doing something important!

Here my attempt. Added Brandon's XRT [edited] dirt layer and a scratch layer to the base skin.

A rather bad preview :


The skin with the dirt is uploaded to LFSWorld! Hope you like it!

Hi there. Does it work in other games?

If you've not tried it on anything else, check if Window's recognises wheel movement (Control Panel > Game Controllers > Calibration - or something like that).

I dont have a the DFGT, so I'm not sure about this; but how did you install the drivers? Is it plug 'n play or did you download the correct drivers? If you didn't download the drivers, get the new ones from Logitech (http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/ ... oads&bit=&osid=14 - select your correct OS).

Maybe... But then again there are lot of skinners here who might make you one. But they too would like to know what you want first ...

I can't see any links!

Quote from Yisc[NL] :

Happy birthday Scawen and thanks for all the work you (and the team) have put into LFS over the years and probably for years to come.

Happy Birthday Scawen!

Could it be that you have two instances of LFS installed, where you are placing the skin files in one LFS/data/skins and launcing the LFS.exe from the other?

Its been known to happen.

Or has anything changed between now and when it used to work? i.e. reinstalled LFS or using new operation system? You might have installed LFS under program files and maybe there is some write protection where LFS can't create the .dds files...

Bandwagon? What bandwagon?

Try this:

Go to LFS' options > controls > axes / FF screen.

You will see yellow/blue bars on the left; these denotes the axes in your controller.

Move the left stick; you will see the corresponding axis move appropriately. Say this is "X axis", under "0". You will see that next to "Steer", the "0" is selected.

Now move the right stick. Hopefully a yellow bar will move. Say this is the axis next to "3".

Now you simply have to assign axis "3" instead of the "0" which is currently in place.

Click on "Steer" and now click on the axis that moved with the right stick ("3" as decribed in my example).

If I'm not making any sense what-so-ever, try the following animation which is given in the LFS Manual



Hope you get it sorted!

Do you recognize these hosts? Where these were the ones that you last accessed? http://ww.spdoracing.com/eventdb/driver/daveb948576/hosts

Just making sure that you are the onlyone thats using the "daveb948576" account. If someone is using it they might be getting you banned triggering the LFS Tech e-mail.

Your son could be having a go when you're not a around!

Also; if its not too much of a bother, just keep track of how you exit the servers. Do you get kicked/banned often? Does the JOOS COUNT happen frequently? It shouldn't matter anyway, as far as I know only CPW (bans) disconnects will be counted...

Who's calling LFS beta?

Anyway, I suggest that you try out more of the available car/track combos; your LFSW stats shows that you've not driven in some [at least not online]. Pleanty of stuff to do in LFS if you bothered to/care to spend some time on it.

IMO, its the best 24 bugs that I've spent. With over 200,000 km driven online I'm still enjoying it (when I find the time). And I've not done any serious league racing...

Usually (iirc) it corrects itself when you turn lock to lock (the whole 900 degrees), going past the limit set by LFS/profiler.

I'm just throwing this here as well; was on a topic asking about vob modifications.

Quote from Bob Smith :

The current stance is, we are not tolerating discussion of content editing either. Why? It's using the official, developer funded forum to support more additional content for free that would otherwise be the devs source of income, so it's breaking their business model.

This can of course change, but only if the devs tell us. I see this as an eventuality, as we'll either get tools to do the job ourselves, or the LFS project will have gone so long without new content it will be considered dead.

Hello!

What sims were you into upto now? Anyway, better late than never; so welcome to LFS!

As for you second question: yes, it is possible, but due to the nature of the shifter on the G27 it would be awkward to use. The G25 had the built-in shifter as you might be aware of, unlike the G27.

What you could do is assign shift up and shift down (in Options>Controls>Buttons 1) to the shifter's 3rd and 4th respectively. So when you shift into 3rd it would go up a gear. But obviously, the shifter would stick in 3rd, so to shift up you'll have to shift to neutral and then shift back in to 3rd to go up another gear...

Don't forget to change the gear shift mode to "sequential" (Options>Controls), or toggle the gear shift mode with shift+G, or it would not shift...

Hope to see you on track!

:bump:

Nice guide for the newer drivers! Bumping since it needs a bit 'o love!

:ices_rofl

Just an average day in a public server! Haha, enjoyed that alot! Thanks!

Although its worrying that most people just keep flooring it when there is multi-car crash ahead or just rejoining the track right into traffic.

Can't reproduce.

I'm on 0.6B and can open the temp_mpr from a second LFS.exe and view it without no issues.

Tested on a cruise server with an open config.

Until this get added into LFS you can use the spdoracing website:
i.e. http://ww.spdoracing.com/eventdb/driver/rageshgr/hosts

Quote from Emyn :

I think that cargame.s2 server would be good for you.

Which unfortunetly he won't be able to drive due to min. requirements (i.e. 100 LFSEI, iirc). Thats not true anymore - sorry for the wrong info! (Thanks Ragesh!)

Edit:

Hi Joe, welcome to LFS S2 and the forums!

You might find out that online racing is quite unforgiving for new drivers, depending on the server that you are racing on. First of all make sure that you have a good grasp of the control and can basicially keep the car that you're driving on track. Then build up your pace. If you constantly change cars and tracks you might find it harder - so until you get the hang of things stick to one or two tracks and a few cars.

A while back the demo servers were a good place to start; i.e. you race the GTis or FBM at Blackwood GP - you'll learn the track and to race with other players. Nowadays demo is apparently is not as good, but nevertheless you should give it a try...

If you are completely new (judging by the Nov 2011 join date, you seemed to be), it might be wise to stay off the highly populated servers at first. You'll simply end up getting in other's way. Once you are at a "okay" driving level you can join in race...

Now as a place to start, I'd recommend some of the "demo racing" servers by Air Attack [AA] or Redline Racing. These are good in my experience. There are few others including !AMG, and MRc which might be worth trying out.

The cargame.nl S1 server should be ok IF you know the tracks and can keep the car on track. Although if you are completely new I'd suggest you try out the demo server and have a couple of hundred races before you try out anythere else. Cargame.nl servers are pretty much "the" server to be race roadcars/GTRs at the moment, so dont get banned in there by joining in too early (without much experience) and getting in other's way all the time.

You can try and round up a few guys and hop into one of the vast number of empty servers and have a few races. As always, a good setup helps so have a look in http://setupfield.teaminferno.hu/ and http://www.setupgrid.net/ (setups should be saved in /LFS/data/setups).

Have fun, and hope to see ya on track soon!
