FOV setting for weird screen setup advice?

Was looking at various FOV finder websites, but most of them don't letme put in screen sizes of under 20" or 4:3 ratio. I did find one that says my FOV shoulf be 18.3, which doesnt seem correct

I sit about 3 feet away from a 4:3 17" (supposedly, in reality its about an inch wider than my 13" laptop screen, but I think those are calculated on the diagonal??) Viewsonic E771.

I use this screen because I found it at the dump and it has awesome motion clarity and contrast in a dark room, though I admit its tiny.

Currently using FOV of about 80 and not a great driver on most tracks or cars. At least I can get around the tracks fine.

Also screen is curved if that matters much

(I use a PS3 controller and sit farther back than what may appear in the image so I don't see pixels so much)

You can SKIP buying an expensive Direct Drive wheel and triple monitor setup, this setup is SO IMMERSIVE that I can actually SMELL the car! It literally BRUISED my ASS on the bumps! The most EXTREME simulator EVER! Need this in all car games

One of the coolest looking cars! Thank you for the wonderful car!

Anyone know of any other Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc. Car mods on progress? I like factory setups for these cars more than drift by the way Wink I don't know how to drift

It used to exist, someone in the game told me it had to be taken out for the 3D model was taken from another game or something. Sad, I like this car.

Problem fixed, thank you -verde-. Needed to install 32bit versions of ALSA and OpenAL
Audio not working on Manjaro through Lutris [SOLVED]

Just switched from Mint to Manjaro (for more up to date packages) and it is giving me errors in LiveForSpeed, but not the lutris log thing. "Failed to enumerate audio device (1)" or something like that. I at first thought it was my audio interface but didn't work with that unplugged either. Other games like Witcher 3 and Skyrim don't have audio issues. The error happened with both PulseAudio and ALSA.

Using nVidia GeForce GTX 680 over HDMI if that would mean anything, 460 proprietary driver, didn't test with Nouveau. Using 5.15.28-1-MANJARO kernel, I did install and then uninstall the 5.16 realtime kernel because that was making Manjaro not boot for whatever reason. The audio interface I was using was M-AUDIO FastTrack Pro, and I was using only as an input, with the jack on my computer going to speakers for output.

Any help would be appreciated!!! I use the sound to know when to shift and to hear the cars around mine!

Thank you for the suggestions! I found out that I could slow down much quicker with a tighter differential

An internet friend of mine was having an issue with buying the license as well, didn't look like he was yet able to fix it

The AI feel really slow even on level 5, I think this would be a good idea so I can learn how to race them without making people angry because my driving sucks
How much can I improve with a wheel and pedals vs mouse?
Lopyt_Music
S3 licensed
I've been playing this videogame for a few months now and racing the XRG car in these demo worlds like that Air Attack one, and I seem to be kind of slow, only able to hit low 1:36.xx consistently. However, I've only been using mouse steer, auto clutch, and mouse buttons to accelerate and brake. People on this AirAttack world seem to consistently be able to hit low 1:34.xx and low 1:33.xx sometimes, is that a result of using superior input methods, or are those times achievable on my setting and I am just not that great at this game yet? How much time could I hope to lose by switching to a wheel and pedals?

Almost forgot to mention, I was using the RWD car that looks like an old starion or RX7.

Does Force Feedback have any practical advantage or is it just for the immersion feeling?

Also, how do I pass people safely on the racetrack, I feel like the rather dubious methods I used to use in Gran Turismo 4 would likely get me banned from a lot of worlds, but still I often accidentally bump people in the corner. Also the screen I am using is like 13" and its really hard to see beside the car which also results in my accidental bumping, is there an easy way to get better view beside the vehicle without the look to side with w and e because those make me dizzy and often I fall off the track when trying to use them before a corner, where I would usually need to check if there was a car to my side.

Quote from henricat2006 :Good afternoon, I don't know if I'm writing in the correct place, if I'm wrong you can delete this post.

I would like to know if there is any site that has 3D models available for download that I can use and put credits when posting the mod, I was using sketchfab,however I saw that I can't trust the sources, some 3Ds are not really from the users who posted it available for download.

For models, there was a game called Car Parking Multiplayer with a lot of them, and I am pretty sure it was only one guy making the game, there are over 100 cars and more added every update so I don't know if he makes them himself or if the developer may know places to get models, I don't know how legitimate the models are though it may be worth trying tp contact him for his sources? Or if you were looking for 3D modelling apps? Some free ones exist like Blender and FreeCAD, they work well (FreeCAD is a little buggy thoufh). If I make a car model sometime I'll let you know. Good luck making these mods I enjoy using them lots Smile
Sprintcars? and other mod suggestions
Lopyt_Music
S3 licensed
Hello, I've been loving these mods! A car I didn't find enough of in the few racecar games I've tried were these sprintcars, which is unfortunate because they are fun and interesting, in the one game I did get to usthem in. They are typically very high power and low weight, designed to be raced on short oval dirt tracks. There are different types, but you see 700hp to 900hp and around 700kg. They usually run V8 no turbo I think? Maybe 8000-9000RPM? I'm also assuming they get a ton of downforce with the size of those wings. Thats all I really know about it and that info may not be 100% accurate. Never driven the real thing. Would be happy to hear of something like this sometime Smile

Some other cars that may be fun to add are 18 wheeler with trailer, Chapparal 2J, and something else I'm really missing is group C cars like Sauber C9, Nissan R89C, stuff like that Smile

My apologies if this has been requested before, if it has been I'll remove this forum and my apologies for wasting your time.


P.S. I also love silly mods like the burger car and little tikes stuff like that

Quote from Latvian Video :Well, making mods isnt very hard for me, just very time consuming and sometimes difficult. I havent had the motivation to go back to this mod, as I have been working on other mods, school and other hobbies. Today I probably will try out some stuff.

Oh good luck with the other mods and school etc. Smile

Quote from chucknorris :I know it's somewhat overpowered. The big problem I had was, that the torque seems somewhat incorrect at low revs. It was totally impossible to drive on sand with "realistic" engine values. The wheels didn't even spin.
If I found a solution to that, I'm more than wiling to change it.

Ah I see, I know nothing about making mods, but maybe make two versions, standard and race, so there can be both high power or realistic golfcarting? I feel likr that could be an easy thing to do, likr I've seen some cars with different standard vs alternate settings in the car Info, sometimes it adjusts power or weight. I do like the high power version too, and I don't think it should be removed. Keep up the good work Smile

It feels very fast compared to golf carts I've driven, 150km/h seems unrealistic for golf cart? The one I was driving was older and gas powered though so I don't know, maybe it had like 8hp, or is this a modified golf cart mod? its fun to drive at least Smile

Feels very top heavy, I've never driven one of these before, and I know they aren't designed for circuit tracks but its very hard to steer because it falls over all the time. I think the rear wheels are supposed to be small and expand under acceleration, but I don't know if thats possible in this game, though it would be nice. Good luck with the mod, I enjoyed

Also I've been to these races and they are supposed to be so ridiculously loud that you can't even hear yourself yelling, this one sounds very quiet

Awesome! Would love to see an offroad RC car too like all those trophy trucks and monster trucks you often see when looking for the real cars sometime as well Smile

The only bike I've been able to drive so far haha, but I don't have a wheel so maybe its easier with a wheel.

These bikes, all of them, in this game turn weird to me, does anyone else get that? Is that just what bike turning in games is like? It starts to fall sideways but when I try to correct it just falls more, it's like I need to do the opposite of what I do on a real bike. Does anyone else get that?

I love this! Take this as you will because I'm not a great driver + using just mouse controls, but I find it can be difficult to control, and the lack of reverse gear sucks because its easy to spin front forward into the walls on some of my silly autocross tracks. Again maybe I'm just bad at driving. If this is still in development, I would like to see a reverse gear and maybe an upgraded suspension that doesn't have such a strange forward weight transfer while braking.

Another thing you could add is some suspensions coming to the wheels from the burger, it looks a little strange with the wheels just floating there.

Maybe this will inspire me to make a hotdog car mod haha now if only I knew how to make mods...

Thank you for the burger, tasted good but didn't come with fries like I ordered XD

Hello, I am running LFS Editor through lutris on Linux, and when I unlocked LFS it worked fine, but for LFS Editor, I say unlock and it says File Not Created. It still used my unlock though, any idea how to fix this or what could be causing the problem? I think I have 2 unlocks left
