Scawen, as you fixed the issue I had with the scripts I have another report to do (just in case you find it eas and interesting to fix).

In 0.6B version (not tested yet on test patch), if in a car script (XRR.lfs for example) you write
Quote :/press 3

that command will be send before the car is ready, so its lights are not switched on. Maybe you could add a delay to the execution of these scripts to allow the car to be ready to receive inputs


Another one is if you write
Quote :/press esc

you can make LFS don't show you the track after leaving pits/spectating, I guess this would also get fixed with that delay, else, it's quite useless as it only makes the game a mess.

I attach an screenshot showing the actual state of my game. Other players can still see me on track, but I can't see the track even if a disconnect and enter the server again. Once you get into this state you can delete the command from the script, because it makes no difference at all

If it is a language barrier I'm always available to help you, Lynce

If not, just tell us what kind of help you need with those files.

It would be quite useful if you tell us your OS, graphic card model and monitor's resolution. You know, so we can start to tell you some things to try

Is this because of Firefox 14.0 or my crappy mobile internet?

Works fine on FF 15

If there is such a temperature problem, I guess that if you are charging it the screen should show a warning, "Charge stopped for high temperature" or something like that. So I hope it was an app that got updated (I guess it could be Facebook, as it had a books a month ago that caused a lot of hangs, don't know if they were just application hangs, soft-resets or total reboots).

I still advice you to root your phone, so you can install Titanium Backup, and make a backup every few days/weeks (don't know if in the free version you can schedule tasks). Plus you gain acces to the recovery, which is never a bad thing to have

I think the bugged one was 12.4, don't know if the bug was fixed on 12.5 though.

That looks like there is no enough graphic memory available. Does your card allow to use RAM to increase it? Is it adjustable?

I'm glad to confirm that the issue I reported with the scripts is effectively fixed.

I'm waiting for the official release to post the scripts I edited for G25 owners using sequential gearbox. Hope it's useful to somebody besides me

Same to me also on Firefox and IE

Is it rooted?
If yes, you could do a wipe dalvik cache and wipe cache and try if it works. Or flash a kernel using the recovery menu.


If it is not rooted, you could still try to flash an stock rom using Odin, but without checking the re-partition check, so it don't do a factory reset.

Those two things are totally unrelated to each other. Just go to Control panel->Gaming devices and change the deegres there.

Quote from The Very End :Good update, thank you!
Quick question: How long will you be able to "time-out" before getting a drop out? I usually every now and then get a 10-15sec mega lag, which is due to troubles on the internet line (package loss).
Would be awesome if it would be increased to 30 secs or so (the time when the server does not get information from you), because then it would not make me drop out, but ofc. I understand if not - my problem should not cause problems for others

If we take that idea to its limits we could reset our router without timing out. That must be a cool thing to do

Quote from lukelfs :Pretty sure that's how I found it too? Wasn't it PC Gamer or similar?

GameLive at that time, later it was renamed to PCLife (at least in Spain). I still have that magazine and it's CD with LFS 0.4 demo

Quote from Skagen :And improvements doesn't have to be linear. Some people improve in big steps all of sudden after periods of little or no improvments.

I agree totally on that. Sometimes you are driving (and improving by the time) a car in some way, and then, after months of training you realize that you were doing it wrong. Maybe if you are softer on the brakes instead of searching the late braking point you could be a lot faster (or at least be more consistent on fast pace).

This could be a bit depressing, if you see as wasted time, but on the other hand, it makes you more open to new ideas. Not always the "ideal racing line" is the best, in some corners (just a few, and maybe with just some cars) there is a completly ilogical line that is a lot better.

Quote from MAGGOT :I haven't got RSRBR installed because I like doing the full championships. I replace the cars manually, though, and then just run the original stages in championship mode. I really wish RBR shipped with twice the stages that it has...

Don't forget that RSRBR always let you play with standard content to play championships

Are you all using Chrome?

I did not get any problem on Firefox.

Nice, I'll be waiting to test this


I'm proud of myself for quoting my scripts so I don't have to rewrite them

Quote from ACCAkut :
btw, Whiskey, why the hell do you need 88 tabs ??

At the moment I have "only" 47 tabs. I'm doing some things that are new to me, so I need a lot of tutorials and examples open while I work (closing tabs as I complete those taks). Though I will never have les than 30 tabs open whatever I'm doing haha

LFS simulates real gearboxes, which means that the cars that have sequential gearbox must be used like that (XFR, FXR, XRR, etc). On the other hand, cars with H-gate shifter can be used with whatever shifter type you want.

Quote from heson :The only benchmark Im interested in is how well it performs with 50tabs and limited amount of ram.

Only opera has survived my tests, and chrome starts to swap horribly quite quickly, firefox was slightly better than chrome the last time I tested. My test is obviously slanted towards the pages I use...

Just some info about Firefox:

In latest versions of Firefox it "unloads" the tabs that did not take facous for a while. The other day I had 88 tabs opened, but as I was only using some of them the ram consumption did not raise like hell.
Also, extensions are the main cause of memmory leaks and not Firefox itself.

Did you happen to have Photoshop CS4 open at the same time? Just press Shift+Esc instead.

You can if you exit (or open another LFS instance) to main menu and watch the replay named "temp".

Probably best RBR video

Amazing, it does not look old at all. As a Youtube comment says, a game from 2004 is still the king of rally simulation, not easy at all

Quote from AndRand :Don's photos are even better than movies (LFS, RBR) or stills.
www.rallyphotos.cz

Not for games. What amazes us are the physics, which shine on slo-mo videos and is cool on normal videos. On photos we can see cool things, like tyre flex but it won't be as much as impresive as a video could be.

Without watching the replay I guess the issue is to shift up while the game was already shifting, so the car is in neutral and then it goes one gear up, so it ends on 1st gar.

LFS just should ignore user requests while changing gear, but it could not be that trivial to do.

If the menus don't work, you can open your RBR folder, and then go to Audio/Speech and rename all the englsih folder to the french names.

This is similar to what I have to do, because RSRBR hides Spanish from the selection menu

If I'm not really wrong he is using Photoshop 7 to make all his works.
