curved screen : Distortion Correction Feature?
rapapar
S2 licensed
Hello everyone,

I'm curious to know if LFS does natively support distortion correction for curved displays.
Specifically, I'm thinking about the 49" Odyssey Samsung, which boasts a 1000R curvature (radius of 1m).

If not, I strongly believe that integrating a distortion correction feature into LFS's renderer would represent a significant leap forward for the simracing community, could it be the first one to do that ?

I kindly urge the developers to consider incorporating this feature into future releases. Additionally, I'm curious if there are existing workarounds like SDK/add-on solutions that could be employed in the meantime.

Looking forward to your insights and suggestions.

Best regards,

So, can we do something in setting to get LFS as smooth as AC?

could be a solution, but it's even more a best thing if the one in front stay in front even with less power, it lets a chance to win if he continues to challenge himselft Smile

Hello,
I have the same issue, I really love LFS and my 980ti i5@4.4Ghz can runs it at hundreads of FPS, but I have headacke after 5/10minutes because of this laggy style fx Frown
I'll try to lower FPS to 50hz anywhere in the config.

Thanks to dev team to take time to answer us Smile
"catch-up"/"rubberbanding" feature

Hello again,

I've posted in plugin section but it looks impossible to do

I have a new idea to make online race full of fair fights

I think more your are far away in first place, more you get low power to be caught with ease by the other. I think for LAN party with people not so used to drive, to get them stay together and reduce skill difference between drivers.

What do you think?

Also it could be adding more people in the car dynamically to add weight

Thanks!!!

Quote from Racon :You can't reduce an individual car's power directly with InSim. There's a recently added packet (IS_HCP) to change intake restriction and ballast weight, but it applies to all cars of the type you set, not individual cars.

Instead, you could check their restriction when they join (IS_NPL) and spec them if they've not complied with an instruction to reduce their power/add weight manually.

Very nice, thanks
but it needs to be dynamically madeSchwitz



Quote from michal 1279 :What's fair on punishing successful drivers? Besides that, this "catch-up"/"rubberbanding" feature is the most hated thing in arcade racing games...

If you really want to artificially keep cars together, just ask faster drivers to slow down or deploy safety car every second lap.

Ok sure but nothing interesting to suggest? lol
OTHER DRIVER HEAD moving better in VR

Hi,

I drive VR and it will be so nice to have more detailled head moves of friends in close fighting
I suggest to add option for LAN party with VR, to set possible to add a perfect head tracking of other driver's heads like it is made for the local helmet, it would be so immersive!
It would be the first ever racing software to give perfect mirrors and perfect heads tracking ;-)

thanks!
Looking for people to make a plugin

use deviceIDLeft=-1 to desable one screen

center is 0

my Right is 1

so:


deviceIDLeft=-1
deviceIDright=1
secondaryWidth=1024
secondaryHeight=768
secondaryRefresh=72

it's working with 2 screens
