Hello mate. Yeah its good that some people recognise its still far from easy for a complete beginner. I mean You cant be a pilot if you don't know a plane from a pizza! Yes some sort of video tutorial would be so beneficial to guys like myself and believe me I've looked. If there is any way you could help me buddy that would be very helpful and kind of you. Any help at all is better than none...

If its ok with you I will PM you after the Christmas/new year period is done.. I'm sure we all have far more important things to do over the next week or so. Thanks for the reply buddy!

Merry Christmas!

Hi guys I read through a few of these insim requests and a LOT of the time people want a hell of a lot of stuff for seemingly nothing.

I haven't got a clue as to where to start in regards to writing my own code and don't have the time it would take to learn/compile one.. I get very little if any help if any at all from the 1-2 guys I know who do know about this stuff. the cruise word where I'm from is full of unnecessary politics and endless drama and it grinds on me at times. That said I do love the "cruise" concept and I wish to have something of my own for myself and some friends to enjoy.

I have currently in my possession a basic code that seems to work for the most part for what I need only I really require some help on what should be minor alterations as the guy who I struck a deal with after he got what he wanted from me began to blow cold in the way of help or any further progress. Often I felt frustrated and at a total standstill for days/weeks.

would any of you guys be kind enough to edit my code I have here to suit me a little bit more. I really just require some job locations swapped around/added, some insim messages edited and maybe a few more bits and bobs. This is "child's play" for anyone in "the know" or so I hear. which doesn't help me much at all of course.

Other than what I have mentioned I have no more clue as to any of this stuff. all i know is I have been instructed to download Microsoft visual c# and "do it" in there whatever that maybe? And left in the dark I really have no idea what I'm talking about to be honest.

I don't want something for nothing of course that's never been my way so If anyone could spare me maybe an hour or so of there time we can come to some sort of arrangement. Maybe PM me for more detail's.

Thanks for reading guys, all the best and Keep it rubber side down!

You are using 0.6e right?

You can test drive them all.. Costs £25!

In all seriousness. If you like lfs and you play demo and enjoy xfg/xrg and blackwood then BUY IT you wont be disappointed

I made a clutch pedal from a guitar hero pedal and wired it directly to a game pad.. all the rest of the controls are standard DFGT, Not the greatest as the clutch is still either off or on. But it works

Quote from Specht77 :

You can always try to contact the guy who made that modded ramps, and see if he can help you to make the object you want

I guess? Seems kinda far fetched though If I'm honest..People have much more important stuff to do I'm sure...

Thanks for the suggestion though buddy

Quote from Specht77 :

good answer

I do believe this can be useful to you: http://driftmods.net/forums/tr ... sters-kavva-de-la-szut-r/

NICE! But I doubt whether this will help me? unless there's a police ec-135 in that pack

Thanks!

Quote from Eclipsed :

In that case you have to go much deeper with editing by editing track files (files in wld folder I guess,not sure though),but since it's an online racing simulator,I can't see a point of that,as this will make your client uncompatible online.

Its not solely a multiplayer sim hence why there is a Singleplayer tab and this is for Singleplayer movie Idea...

I am all to aware of the doo's and don'ts in multiplayer
Ill check out that folder

Thanks!

Quote from Eclipsed :

Objects like ambulances etc. are with restricted shape - you can change only it's appearance (color) by editing dds files,but you cannot change their shape and make helicopter out of a car.

Get some dds converter or plugin and check files from lfs\data\dds yourself,then you will see,what can you edit!

Yeah I use DDS a lot

Hi I found the actual model used in lfs for free download.Its a rectangular box object, I was hoping I could use a 3d editing program to simply swap the entire model over providing I could re-size and convert the Heli model to a format LFS reads? And not make a helicopter from anything...

Im probably missing something..

Cheers!

Hi guys

I'm wondering if someone can shed some light on the subject of custom objects? I wish to change some objects in lfs and so my question is...

Where might I find the files for the track side ambulance and other such files? there are trucks too in blackwood behind the pits can I change those or are those actually part of the map?

I am making a short movie and i want to replace the ambulance as a starter with this http://img.planespotters.net/p ... anespottersNet_336429.jpg

Any help would be much appreciated

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

A while back, Scawen changed this (as people found it confusing). In old LFS, you created a colour scheme, then added the skin to the colour scheme (and could change it at will). Modern LFS uses a system where you create a colour scheme directly from a skin. If you create some skins, call them "XRG_AI 1.jpg" (for instance), then in LFS go "New Colour", you would then be able to create schemes for each AI driver that way.

Yeah thanks! I sorted it now.. Its kinda simple in later versions too

Cheers!

Quote from michal 1279 :

1 - Options - Misc. - AI use player colours (yes). Then just put a skin on your car and add AI car - it will wear chosen skin.

2 - I do not know about possibility to keep AIs horn pressed.

Michal

Yeah cheers mate I have the skins sorted now!

Thanks anyway bud!

Ancient post I know... Does anyone have any info on this matter only using up to date lfs like 06b?

I don't see these "new" buttons in the garage nor do I see where to create a so called "colour scheme" ???

All I want is to have ai cars with a desired skin?

ANY help would be great!

Cheers
Gav!

Hey guys I'm hoping someone could help me with the AI in singleplayer?

1 does anyone know how To select skins for ai vehicles? I noticed that when racing against the ai that the cars are seemingly random in colour?
I did think of replacing the DEFAULT skins with the desired skins only I'm guessing that they will still be random colours?

2 is there a way to configure the AI to drive with the horn pressed?

Thanks!
Gav

EDIT Ok i have the skins sorted .. Now does anyone know if its possible to have ai cars using police strobe and drive with the horn pressed?

Cheers!
Gav

XFR and XFG use the same XF.vob file, you can't change anything around.

I had already seen the first thread you mentioned and I dont think myself and that guy had the same things in mind. I'm sure he wanted to.......well other stuff

The second post whilst simple enough in wording. doesn't match perfectly to many users take on things here. I'm sure I had just read maybe in the post you linked something along the lines of (vob swapping among-st lfs's original and unmolested line up of cars is legal) ?????

Thanks and maybe even a sorry in advanced

Ok so I know all too well that "vob mods" are not allowed and that lfs is a great racing sim all on its own and all the other things one might say to deter another from potentially f****** up the physics of the sim and so on...

Now my first question is is it legal to swap models about?
As in ...I want to drive an xfg that has the appearance (TO ME) of the xfr In (SINGLE PLAYER) presumably that is going to involve a vob file?

Secondly .........Actually lets try that for now

Sorry if I was to put this post somewhere else?

Quote from imthebestracerthereis :

If you downloaded a layout for Blackwood GP, it should be downloaded as BL1_YourTrackName.lyt

or a carpark layout would be BL3_YourTrackName.lyt



click on the button underneath the object and press the delete button on your KB

cheers bud!

ok mate so just for clarification what should i name the lyt file for S02 exactly? do i need the xxx sorry for stupid question m8

Quote from Deejayyaj :

I thought you've read all the LFS Manual?

Anyways im having problems loadin up layouts i have a few in my layout folder but only a few show up like "au1, au2, au3 i have some others "SO1-6, bl1, wich i presume is a layout on blackwood ande the "SO" is maybe for south city? yet no matter what track im on when i hit load layout after pressing shift+u they dont seem to show up?

Ok my problem was i was playing "hot lapping" didnt realise it was only for single player races.

thanks but ive already read this and im missing the "place object" option and so there is no button to hit, interesting about the insim thing? but im not running anything else if that's what you mean

no matter what i cant get no rev limiter to work? should i be changing the values that are in the boxes? ive played with the slider "lots" ive tried both versions, change cfg file when needed, my ignition key is set to "I" im using z28 and still no joy????

ok so im s2 licenced and im having trouble with the track editor? when i press shift+u i get some options to move the camera and stuff but im missing the "place objects" buttons that i hear of and a few others looking at some editor screen shots?

also my autocross box in the track selection window is greyed out? im using z28 any ideas?
