Have you tried editing your own dds files?

I mean, you could use all dds avaiable for all cars from this forum and combine them to fit your own taste.

That is what i have done and believe me its very easy. Its the same as editing you skins. I didnt know anything about it till 3 days ago and i started editing and was very very easy.

That way you could edit all your dds files. That will include a lot of object in the tracks that can be changed. Adds, signs, Team trucks, ligts, dashboards, etc etc. Do you want your "real life" car CD player on the XRT???. No problem. Take a good picture of it a paste it on the dds file. Do you want the FZ5 leather on the XRG?. No problem. Just look for that texture and paste it. Very simple.

Download a dds editor, i downloaded Paint.net cause somebody here recommended it and start opening your dds files.

that way LFS will look exactly as you wish.

cheers

Edit : To correct grammar

Hi

Can anybody upload the sound of the BF1 that can be heard on the previews of the first post of this thread?.

Gilles, said he lost his copy but im sure that somebody still has and uses that sound. In fact, in the 48 pages of this thread, there have been many requests for that sound to be re-uploaded. I mean, it sounds really really good.
Is impossible to find a decent BF1 sound. I would really aprecciate that somebody recovers that one.

Gills : Good job re-working sounds. Thank you.

Cheers

Sry for the bump.

Could anybody be so kind to post a valid link or re-upload these XFG textures?. Those in the first post are broken.

Thanks

Perfect felplacerad.

Small and easy way to solve my problem.

Well.....now i think i have all set as i like.

Thank you all guys.

Cheers.

Right. That solved my problem Antonis. Thank god theres a lot of people sharing all this work. Thanks again to EQ WORRY, Morphas and the MOMOLEDS dev.
Now i have stats and shift leds in my wheel. All that i need.

I hope this "taking packages from here and sending them over there" dont make LFS unstable. I dont know anything about programming ports and packages but i heard sometimes this could bring some troubles. But i guess i will have time to test how the four programs (LFS, AONIO, MOMOLEDS, OG_RELAY) work together.

PD.: Do you know an easy way to make windows open this DOS programs without openning a window???? I read about a way but involved creating three files. Isn´t there a way of configure windows not to open DOS windows or running them minimized.

Cheers

Hi EQ Worry

Well, im already using your program but i have a question...

Im also using the old MOMO LEDS (And old Addon to make MOMO Leds functional as you reach a certain RPM number o running out of gas). So when i try to use both the problem is that i had to change the OutGaugePort in LFS cfg.txt to 56551 to make MOMOLEDS works, but this way i lose some of the AONIO Stats (fuel and RPM´s)

If i change Port in Aonio.cfg.txt file to 56551, AONIO doesn´t work.

I tried modifing the MOMOLEDS port to 59999 in its config file but didn´t worked neither

What should i do to make both program work properly???


Thanks for your help.

Quote from Morpheuzis :

Do not want to spoil the festive mood.
But found one small bug . Do not change the size of the digital speedometer AONIO 1.2.1

Yes it does. Properly. Check it out. Changes color also.

Hi EQ Worry

Nice job on the AONIO. Very good men. I have been looking for a program that provides this info in races but the rest i´ve tried never worked properly. This one works and information looks clear and easy to read. I will test AONIO deeply the next days and will come back with some feedback for you about accuracy and realiability.

Thanks for working on this

Cheers.

Well......you see.....for each circuit you need a different setup.
That´s why "Real races car setup developers" have a job during the whole season!! And in fact.....if there would be only one setup for each car then it would probably come as a default in the game.

You must specifty where do you want to race with your car. For example you need two different gear box setting for a "long-straights circuit" and for another full of small turns. The same applyes to the shocks, to the camber, etc etc etc etc

Antway......Google-LFS SETUPS- Download. Youll find webs with grids full of setups. Will cover you needs at the start.

Cheers

ok.....thanks guys....ill try.

cheers

Quote from bunder9999 :

i didn't look, but there is usually ones for the forward version of the track. if they use asymmetrical cambers and pressures, you could try flipping them around.

But theres not. At least at setupgrid and teaminferno. Thanks anyway.

Hi all. I have a race at Kyoto Ring GP Long Reversed with the XRT (XR GT Turbo) at the league im playing. I was looking for a setup at Setupgrid and team Inferno but theres nothing for this combo. So, maybe somebody has a setup to share so i can start preparing the race.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers

Quote from andRo. :

RouteKaster - Maybe Yann was at work or being busy. It doesn't matter if you are on the list or not, and it doesn't matter if you haven't received PM because nobody has. There are many ppl that are not on that list, or they weren't before, not sure if it is changed now, so just chill and wait for the password. Even if you are not on the list, but you have signed up to the race and the league, admin will see it, and PM you the pass as soon as he can.

Of Course Yann must be busy at the moment and he is at least trying to organize all the best way he can. I haven´t complained at all about anybody. In fact we should aprecciate that at least Yann is trying to organize it.
Don´t start talking about something is not happening here please.
But since you mention it I would like to thank Yann for taking care of the league, he is doing more than the rest of us.

And Im chill. Im just sending a post to inform that im not participating. As all people should do when they inscribe themselves and later don´t show up.

Have a nice race out there and have fun

See you guys.

We shouldn´t be guessing. We should have information.

Im sorry guys....i wanted to participate in this league.....but

.... Since i´ve reported my post 5 days ago to inscribe me in the league and in the race and,
1 hour before the race my name is not even on the list of the league, haven´t received not even an automatic mp telling me that i have been accepted and reserving the number that i have choseen and made the skin for, and see that we all have a bounch of doubts and nobody is really sure about what exactly is going to happen i think is not going to be a good idea to participate.

Thank you all anyways. See you on the tracks.

Quote from prOmo_LTU :

Right,becouse i know,that Yann is werry busy,i will try to help you:
1)Yes,there will be two races - 5laps (sprint) and 10 laps (future) race
2)There will be one quali for all of us,i don't remember is it 12mins or 13mins long,you will see that when you'll join the server.
3) You should recieve a PM in LFSF from Mr.Laprevotte (GreyBull [CHA]) with all the info about server name and password.
4) You will be added to racer's list as soon Yann gets time.

Hope i hellped you

Yes you did.... thank you very much.

See you at the race

Hi all.

Im participating in tomorrow´s race at Blackwood.
So.....its 2 races isnt it???. One of 5 laps and then another of 10 Laps.???
And we have two clasfications?
In which server are we running???? We need a password or sth???
Where can i find all the information of the race??.

I have posted my name on the inscription post but im not in the list. I will be with number 78.

Thanks for your help. (I really need it......im lost about the league procedures!!)

See you

Ok....and here goes the skin

Hi all .... a new one here

Quote from Crady :

This is the reason why our team members and marshals are quite nervous kicking someone quite fast to ensure a safe race.

Of course mistakes are done and we might kick someone by error!

But for this case every team running a server has a own forum and you can post your issue there and it is possible to check the logs or auto-saved replays then - and to excuse of course.

Sure....we all make mistakes!!
In fact, that´s the reason why I have not presented a formal complaint at the server forum. And I haven´t mentioned neither the server nor the Admin name cause that´s not the point. Actually, been Admin in a demo server must be hard work if you wish to do a good job. So there´s no point on acussing him.
Is like I understand, but I want something better. At least and Admin that has a little time to watch a replay before kicking you, specially when you are on the first place of the race. And a bit less of "on purpose crashers". So, before Christmas, I´m writting to Santa so he doesn´t forget to bring me a license!!!

By the way, let me tell you that actually in REDLINE server i had no problems at all, except for the crashers that are in every demo-server. I logged yesterday night and there was a guy named RedlineQuinno or something similar that was a kind guy. I had a good impression.

See you all.

I see.
Im buyin the license soon thats for sure. But looks like i will have to pay the price of being "new" and learn BL among crashers in the unruled jungle of demo-servers if I want to run with XFG/XRG.

For you answers i can see it will be easier to meet licensed players playing other combos than the one I want to start with. This sounds very logic also.
But sooner or later i will find those 2 seconds per lap that im losing in BL. Im closer!!! And then i will meet you in other tracks and have clean and thrilling races.

Thanks everybody for your answers. Looks like a nice community here.

See you soon on tracks

Quote from Uke :

All of the blackwood + xfg/xrg/fbm servers are demo lisenced, so buying a S1 or S2 license won't solve your problem if you still want to use only the demo cars.

Aha......now i see....So i have two diff answer.

I see that you are not all agree.... but im guessing you have the right answer for what im asking.

I want to race with the xfg/xrg in Blackwood.
Will i find more servers with licensed players if I buy a S1 or S2 license than in demo-version???

I guess the right answer is "NO". Could more people confirm the right answer???

Then i think it will be money good invested even when i wont race with other cars in other tracks; the acces to licensed servers will worth it.

Thanks guys. See you soon.

Hi everybody. Im new in LFS so hello....is great to be here with you.I live in Spain but im Argentinian.

I ve discovered LFS a week ago and started playing and i have to say its a fantastic game. I really enjoy it. I have the demo version and i plan to buy S1 or S2 license once i reach at least 1:34.XX at Blackwood. I dont want to but it before that because i want to concentrate and learn step by step. Seems pointless (for me) to run in 6 tracks with 20 diff cars when my record at blackwood is 1:35.77 and only did it once.

So... once I reached 1:36.XX i decided to start playing online and remain at the end of the race and try to follow faster racers. I know im 2 seconds behind the average of the winner but thats enough to stand at the end in real life races so it would be enough in LFS as the simulator is pretty real.

But here the game-experience didnt turn up so well, as i found a lot of "evidently on purpose crashers" as well as some nasty situations where some people doesn know how to say "hey.....sorry for that" when they take you out of the track so you can say "np"; and when you say "Hey....my fault....didnt see you ....sorry" the answer is "Next one you get banned"

(?????????? After 3 days ONLINE and only because you made ONE mistake????How can this be possible???????????). In general, lack of education and kindness, big times.

Yesterday i had this last situation that was really surprising. I was in the second place on lap 1 and was about to overtake the first when he rammed me on purpose. Good luck was on my side as he ended out of the track and i took the first place. 5 seconds ahead i got kicked. I couldnt believe it because the crash fault was very very clear. So i return to the server and ask the admin for reasons. I told him it wasnt my fault and ask him to watch the replay. He answered me like an admin should never answer due to his position and we stayed online but left it.

5 minutes later he goes offline and the he login again and says to me:
"Didn´t see it. Sorry"
So i ask....
"Didnt see what?"
And he says :
"He was cutting you.....was his fault"

How can this be possible???. How could he directly-kicked me in the first place without even asked me sth or watching the replay. ?????? Why did he kick me'????? Because the other driver was his friend as i realized later on the next race due to their dialogue. Very dissapointing.
Anyway, i wont pay attention to this. I just want to find better servers.

So my question is for S1 and S2 license owners:

If i get the license will I have acces to more Blackwood servers where Im pretty sure i will meet kind and responsible sportsmans or even having a license Blackwood servers are the same as in demo version????

Thanks in advance for letting me share my expierence and for your answers.
