Didn't Scawen mention they would need to change their company structure because of certain tax requirements enforced by steam? They would also loose some independence, it may be easy and convenient for us but I doubt it's as straight forward for devs.

Didn't take long, Oculus Store exclusives can run on SteamVR now: https://github.com/LibreVR/Revive

Not sure if anybody is aware of it but this may be something for Scawen to try and get into? Seems like a good way to reach VR enthusiasts and make use of a completely now form of interacting with game assets while talking about all kinds of decisions that went into building them.

The Gearvr is for samsung mobile devices, you wont be able to use it on a pc or with software compiled for x86 systems. You can only use software compiled for android.

Now where is that like button if you need it, can't wait to give this a go on the ring.

Good stuff, even though it will be hard to police but an official stand against it from the cityliga is a good step I think. Maybe Scawen can also help a little at some point and get this fixed on his side, he seems to have it on his list at least.

Quote from Amynue :

I was also wondering - does the basestations automaticaly turn on and off when you are using the headset or do you have to turn them on and off manualy?

According to the computerbase review they are always on and you need to turn them off by either unplugging or by using a power strip with a switch. They use 5w per station no matter what, the vive goggle itself is pulling 3.5w in standby and about 12w running.

This fits in here too, maybe Scawen could look into the chaperone part a bit more to make it easier to setup?

LFS is mentioned in the HTC Vive test by computergames.

Quote :

In Live for Speed zeigt sich eine Eigenart der Chaperone-Implementierung: Während in SteamVR-Titeln über einen Knopf am Controller das Steam-Overlay geöffnet werden kann, um die Chaperone-Gitterlinien in fünf Stufen anzupassen oder gar zu deaktivieren, ist dies bei Live for Speed, das auf OpenVR setzt, bisher nicht möglich. Die Folge: Befindet sich der Schreibtisch mit Lenkrad am Rand des Spielfelds, werden neon-grüne Chaperone-Gitterlinien dauerhaft im Blickfeld des Fahrers eingeblendet.

Quick translation, he mentions that due to LFS' openvr implementation chaperone seems to be always on, so he always sees the green gridlines when he plays lfs. The only way he got around it was by setting the chaperone walls 20-30cm back to a "false" position in the room.

They mention LFS a couple of times during the whole review, all in all they seem to enjoy it with the vive.

Not all of the cars are affected, as far as I can see it's only those with asymmetrical maximum pressures on front/rear.

Cars allowing to change pressures above maximum allowed in F12 menu:

F08: can set pressure to 2.1 bar rear (max should be 1.65 bar)
FOX: can set pressure to 1.88 bar rear (max should be 1.65 bar)
FBM: can set pressure to 1.8 bar rear (max should be 1.65 bar)
FZR: pressure resets to 2.1 bar on the rear (should be 2.4 bar)
XFR: can set pressure to 3 bar rear (max should be 2.25 bar)
UFR: can set pressure to 2.55 bar rear (max should be 1.65 bar)
FZ5: pressure resets to 3.45 bar on the rear (should be 4.05 bar)
RAC: pressure resets to 3.3 bar on the rear (should be 3.45 bar)
XRT: pressure resets to 3.75 bar on the rear (should be 4.05 bar)
XRG: can set pressure to 3.6 bar rear (max should be 3.3 bar)
XFG: can set pressure to 3.75 bar rear (max should be 3.15 bar)
UF1: can set pressure to 3 bar rear (max should be 2.7 bar)

I don't think it's that important in most car, but could give you an advantage in the formula cars if you can get away with running R1's because the higher pressure helps with topspeed and temperature.

Good to know, I'll look into potential troublemakers then thanks.

Vive will be available for 799$ http://uploadvr.com/htc-vive-is-799/

More infos to follow at 17 GMT.

I guess it's something to do with my mcgyver setup I was hoping some other nginx users may have gotten this to run already and may be willing to share some tips.

Vic is working on an HTML5 version, you can check bis progress there: https://github.com/VictorVanV/HtmlRemote

There's also the standalone exe https://www.lfs.net/file_lfs.php?name=remote.zip

Did you actually unlock S3? Check in the main screen on the bottom if it says S2 licensed or S3.

Mh, I do seem to get different errors. Tried with some CL21 replays and got this now on Aston:


Another CL21 replay on Blackwood and I get the same error I posted in my last reply.

edit: Sent PM with some more infos.

Anybody got this to run with nginx? I'm having trouble with the png generation for the track layouts. Getting this error:


Any idea what may be causing this?

Isn't this guy advertising his kartsim since years under a couple of different names? I remember signing up to some newsletter about 10 years ago. No idea if we ever see a product but it looked nice whenever he posted new teasers.

edit: Found email from 2007.

All the old tracks reworked for 1.5

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109

Try this

Ha, it does indeed, no idea what made it not work for me earlier. Or maybe I am just blind.

Even better, I never installed flash on my latest windows install thats why I've used the standalone. Will check out the HTML5 version.

Title says it all really, remote app on the lfs downloads page is outdated and would need to be updated for the Rockingham/Westhill updates.

It's crazy how some tyre rubber can change the whole look of the track. Much better!
