Yesterday, LFS application did not closing when pressing "exit" or using alt + f4 (/exit command).

Right before I tried to quit, I left a multiplayer game and got the red message
lost connection to host.

When I pressed the exit button I could see as message window appear with yes and no options. But it disappeared to fast to read the message or to press any of the buttons.

The only way I could close LFS was to switch to windowed mode and used the "X" button in the window caption.

This was the first time I got the error ... and I could not reproduce it so far.

Can you set, say, brake as an axis on the Axis/FF screen, and A as throttle on the buttons1 screen

Yeah that is possible but I have to choose how Throttle / brake axes are
assigned: combined | seperate | buttons.
If i say buttons 'A' does work but not axis, if I say seperate it is the other way round.

if you Pedals and/or wheel are from Logitech then you might be able to use the Logitech Profiler in some way

Yeah that was my first thought, but I can't assign an axis to a button in profiler that is working.
If I setup a new command and use a pedal, profile detects an axis movement.
But if i assign this command to a wheel button and press it inside LFS nothing happens.

I am looking for a possibility to assign an axis and a key to one function.
For instance, have brake function assigned to brake pedal and 'y' key.

So far I can only choose between keys, combinded pedals and seperate pedals.

Has anyone an idea how to get this working.

sorry didn't use the search option ...

If u do a pit stop and select a different tire compound than the one you are just using,
u don't have to wait for tire change.
U need to wait for changing the settings but this will only take 4 seconds after this u got a new set of tires.
A normal tire change of all tires takes about 13 seconds

Tested with the fxo gtr.

I found an interesting project at http://iracing.com/.
Seems they also got the plan to develop a racing "simulation".
Some members of that project are former developers of the famous nascar
series.

I was thinking of an extension for the mci packets.
So it is up to u how often to request this information.

Another information which should accessible through insim are the ping times
of players.
There is a great problem with "laggers" on public servers and this would help
to inform them about their problem as well as take appropriate actions.

I would greatly appreciate if insim could send packets for more events that
happen on the server.
I'm thinking of player enter pits, player does a pitstop, player leave pits as well as player resets a car.

One thing I would really like to have in LFS would be an overall volume control.
Normaly I got other sounds (music) I listen to while racing.
Even if I raise their volume to max LFS is even louder but I don't want to lower each volume control in LFS.

Sure u can use it. There is no copyright are anything in this direction.
If there are questions feel free to ask.

PS: But don't tell this ur teacher.

A lib with all the usefull functions is fine, but I have different things in mind.
My goal is to implement a Socket-Server that does all things belonging to InSim and specially to dedicated lfs hosts. (Just like jogdive did)
It should be used freely by any clients via an open protocol (still to define) and have the ability to handle plugins via some kind of small api.
At least it should be cross plattform (i try to do it posix compatible) and have no gui ( the big difference to jogdives approach ).

I stopped java development last year. What I did is likly less complete than what u seem to have written.
I did switch from java to c/c++ and using cygwin for crossplattform compiling.
But if u want it ... tell me where to send it.

I already did some base java classes for insim and a little app for racetracking
in java. I could send it over to u, if u want to have a look on it.

Is there a possiblity to port the dedilink server to linux ?
So can the gui easily seperated from the core functions ?
Are there any other libs beside ssl, that are used ?

Maybe it can go opensource, with different makefiles for different os.
