A small thing that might be worth updating now that XRG/XRT had been updated for the pop-up lights.

While testing the new car light system I've noticed that only RB4 has working blinkers/side turning lights.

I've also checked that they do not serve as parking lights (just in case they already had a function assigned).

Non working on:
  • XRG
  • XRT
  • LX4
  • LX6
  • FXO
  • RAC
  • FZ5

Quote from Ped7g :you can install it to different folder on disk, and copy the data from there. (as long as you have the original installer)

Or open the installer with 7zip/WinRar and extrat the desired files.

It depends on each screen. There are TVs with less input lag than some monitors out there.

You want to use PC/Game mode, and tinker a bunch with the settings of the image, and as Forbin points (I actually bough my monitor based on a review on that site), use a TV that is actually good in that use case.
The "600 Hz 8K 3D holo-vision" marketing stuff goes away as soon as PC mode is engagded, so you really only care about its performance on this very mode, you can mostly ignore any other part of the review as you won't be using that (TV speakers, for instance, should also be not used).


I'm using a TV as my main display, and a monitor as secondary. The day I was deciding this, I cloned the displays and did not notice the mouse pointer lagging behind the monitor (IPS 60 hz). So no remorse on this regard.

TV has worse colours for sure, but pixel quality is the same (I can't say this about some cheap TVs I hooked when my previous monitor died).

Glad it worked. Enjoy driving!

That's your ISP blocking UDP packets. Press Ctrl+T while on a server and that should be fixed.

Quote from Evolution_R :But what about other game's players taking LFS content (Blackwood track in Assetto Corsa). Is that allowed?

I really doubt its made from scratch.

- EDIT - "Conversion permited by Live For Speed Dev Team"

Is that even true?

Btw is anyone is thinking that converting from one game to another is easy... he couldn't be so wrong.

Yes, that's true. LFS' demo content is not encrypted, and thus devs can grant permission to port it to other programs.

Scawen is updating from DX9 to DX10 (wraped in DX11). DX12 would equire a major rewrite of everything, and RTX is in fact another rewrite on top of that one. So... short answer is: nothing possitive for us.

Use FFB force at around 20% in game, so it does not saturate. Tinker with the setup, you can adjust the caster so the steering rack receives weaker leverage from the ground.

LFS does not have added effects, it renders purely what the steering column receives. So you probably miss some of that if you are used to other seems.
On top of that, tracks are so smooth that they don't really have anything to transmit, but you sure feel changes in grip/surface.

Graphics and physics update is free for all.

I hope that the dynamic day/night and night hours is a feature locked for licensed users (S1 and upwards) though.

144Hz screen is multiple of 1008. So that should also work pretty well with 1000Hz physics rate.

Yes, setups made by people without wheel usually need and adjustment in caster because it it's too vertical it feels so soft and mushy.

Have a look at the width of the tires in the GTR cars. FXR is AWD, the front differential plays a special role here.
I'd imagine tire compound is also noticeable (street vs slicks).

It's not unusual that many players add a line in the script of each car for automatically adjusting the FFB strength so it works more even across all cars.

Quote from Ripley :Do you mean "ghost car"?

I think he means the same as 'Test drive' we already have in Single Player Replay.

Can you try login in using a private/incognito window? (or a different browser for that matter)

That way you would discard an issue with your browser's cookies.

Quote from rockclan :Can confirm after testing stuff out once it happened again, it is a strange sort of packet loss indeed. Eventhough it is on my locally hosted server, swapping from UDP to TCP packets solved the issue. Swapping back to UDP instantly caused it again.

I'm glad you were able to verify my diagnostic. But now, I'm afraid my networking knowledge is not enough to propose any further test or solution...

Quote from rockclan :Often after I've been afk for a while in a multiplayer server, with it usually minimized. And come back when other cars are there, the other cars don't "load". They are completally invisible to me, yet if I would drive on track. (problem persists after race restarts) they will see and be able to collide with me, yet I would drive like a lonely car on track.

Edit:
What usually fixed it for me was reconnecting, not nessecary to restart the entire game.

That sounds a lot like your computer is messing up a socket.
Did you try to switch between UDP and TCP packets in LFS? That should work even without leaving the server.

Quote from GT4_PL :0.6U test first time use Valve Index VR and full tracking test.

That's really low fps, even for a normal screen. I guess you could get much better experience if you manage to get them higher.

The video itself reports to be 60 fps, but to be honest I got pretty uncomfortable watching it, it's not smooth at all.

Did you try to add some more fuel to your tank?

I don't know where you could buy, as it has been discontinued for 15 years. Beside,you'd like to get a modified .exe to get widescreen at 1080p. You can get it here: http://chr79.free.fr/matrox/

I know this is not the reply you are waiting for, but...

F1 Challenge 99-02 (for PC) works like a charm with G27. 900º degrees and 3 pedal support out of the box. A newer version of the game you have with more seasons available to play through.

Quote from felplacerad :Gah, the SSL/TLS certificate expired almost a month ago and I forgot to renew it. All fixed now. Sorry about this.

Edit: Crontab added. We'll see in three (~) months if it worked (note to self: Thursday, December 19, 2019). Tongue

Oh no! The forbidden date!

I'd recommend to download it again, as it the installer might be corrupted. Not the first time it would happen.
