We are kind of hijacking the thread since it was about stereoscopic stuff.

So it may be better to continue this elsewhere, but to answer you, the 5770 should be at least twice as powerful as your gt 220, if not even more.

Your link isn't working, but look like you are talking about a radeon 5770

Can't say, since it's an ATI product and right now they haven't talk (anyway not that I know) of any kind of stereoscopic device. But you never know.

The gt220 doesn't seem to be supported, take a look at http://www.nvidia.com/object/3 ... iscover_requirements.html
They list all the requirements to be able to use it.

And for those who can't activate it or doesn't meet minimum spec, I've included 2 screenshot of what it look like with LFS. This should give you a good idea.

As far as I know you don't need any kind of specific card or driver. If you have a series 8 Geforce and a rescent set of driver you should be ok to do it.

And for activating it you have to go to the control panel in the "set up stereoscopic 3d" (look at the pics I've attached)

By the way, sorry for taking so long to answer, I don't come by here very often

Quote from Woz :Should already be possible with NVidia drivers from what I understand. 1/2s your framerate but the drivers do the required offset and then you need the lcd shutter glasses to go with it

You can also configure it to use a classic red and blue glasses. It's not as good, but it's working. The only problem when using it with LFS is that the dash of the car if too close to the view points (or it's cause by some kind of glitch), but it's impossible to focus and see it right. But the effect on the road is pretty good.

But for me, it's impossible to use those glasses more than 10 minutes without having terrible headache...

I'm using Windows 7 64-bits too and haven't any problem with LFS.

Be sure you installed the lastest hardware drivers for your computer. If this isn't working, I would try to do a clean install of LFS just to be sure no file are corrupt.

*CRASH* (here the game crashed)

This bug is not test patch related since I had it at least 2 times with patch Z. I already made a post related to that in the bug section some time ago, but nobody actually replied to it... You can see it there, attached with a replay if needed !

Getting out of the pits while refueling
Agent248

Hey everyone,

I was playing on the demo server and just found something that look like a bug, but I just can't reproduce it (not lucky enough). I was in the pit and someone ram me while they were refueling my car, I've hit the wall and got out of pits by going over the fance. After that, I juste got infinite message saying refueling 34 liters and finally got kick out of the game with a "stack error -> couldn't store 150" error or something along the line. I should have made a screen shot of this because the replay don't show those error. Just watch me at the end of the 4th lap (I'm using the @tom name) to see what happened

Can anybody reproduce this or this was just an isolated error ?

If you want my opinion, racing and drifting is 2 different thing that can't really compare. It's like saying figure skating shouldn't be at the olympic game because speed skating is way better. They just can't compare. One give point for move you do and the other on second you save.

I've done a couple of league race with the RAC some time ago and I can tell that it can compete really well with the LX6 and FZ. I've managed to win a couple of race with it.

But the LX is faster on super curvy race and FZ on the super fast one. The RAC come in the middle. Anyway, most of the track are not at one edge or the other so it's pretty good on most of the track.

It's true that it's not easy to handle at first, but so is the LX and FZ too.

Personnally, I wouldn't go back to standard 4:3 monitor.

The only thing that annoy me with the wide screen monitor is when you watch a "fake wide-screen" movie and you got black bar left-right and top-bottom of the screen.

Thanks for posting the layout, it's great, I really like it

I seriously think it would be great to have this system in lfs. It could also be useful for some drag racing competition too.

But, if there is no way to do it directly with lfs, we'll just have to do it the good old way

Thanks !
Doing tournament on 2 computers

Hi Everyone,

I want to know if it's possible to do something like that with inSim or need some help from the dev So i'm not sure it's belong in the improvement or not, anyway...

I want to do somekind of tournament using only 2 computers in lan. I want to do a "super special stage" like autocross layout and allow XX number of player to join in. At the beginning of the event, we enter the name of all the players and the game "call" the 2 first to sit down. When the race ends, the winner goes to the next round till we have a champion at the end.

What do you guys think ? Will it be possible ??

Thanks for your time.

edit: can confirm LFS is now back to its former glory

Dan,

I can confirm it too, everything is fine now. Live for Speed isn't listed in the resolved bug of the Cat 6.2 but the problem is solved.

Just to let you guys know, the Cat 6.1 doesn't solve our problem. I know it was said probably in the 6.2, but I couldn't restrain myself from trying them :P


edit: spelling

"Northwood" Pentium 4 3.0Ghz with HT, All-in-Wonder X800XT the game run fine with 5.11 (around 90fps with 4x FSAA and 8x anisotropic), but drop below 10fps with the 5.12 or 5.13 (whatever the setting chosen)... Didn't have the time to test 5.13 without the HT. I'm running Windows MCE if this can be of any help.

No, I have a P4 with hyperthreading only...

Have an X800XT and since I switched driver, i got the exact same issues as you guys, 5.12 and 5.13 doesn't work at all...

I have tried different FSAA, Adaptive AA, Anisotropic, etc, etc setting without any luck, seem to be something weird with those driver...

Too bad, I'm going back to 5.11...

Yeah, the first vid is definitly from the "Mines Skyline" from best motoring, i even have the proof for it :P

watch that video from at about 3:00 and you'll see for yourself. it even do the right-left curve exactly like in the vid

Would be cool tho if the car in game sounded like that. I for myself, really wanted to believe it was true...

Ok, I finally found all I need to do it. For those who want to know for an ATI card, you need to set you display in stretch mode horizontally so the 2 screen gonna act like one. That way you can set resolution up to double width but same height.

In LFS, "show non square mode" and select the appropriate resolution. It work really well. With 2 viewsonic VA702B the line in the middle is not that bad. It's actually quite playable. Now, i need to use a Matrox card with 3 display, that would be real sweet ! hehe

I'm gonna check for that option tomorrow morning, thanks for the tips.

I know that it won't be perfect, but it's for demonstration purpose so it's gonna be perfect for that job. But it can be a little annoying playing like that
Dual screen Setup
Agent248

I don't really know if this is going in here but I'm asking anyway.

We're showing lfs at the store where I work. We have a pretty good machine with a good video card showing on a dual lcd screen. I want to know if it's possible to make lfs work on those kind of setup. I haven't seen any option in lfs for that, when setting the game in full screen, it only show up in the main display. If I use the "windowed mode" and strech it to fill the two screen, i get something like less than a frame per second and as soon as I put it in 1 screen it goes up to near 100 fps.

Anyone have already tried to make in work in dual screen and if it's possible can you guys explain me how to do it. Thanks !

*If this can help, the machine is an Athlon64 3800+, 1GB of ram running with an Radeon X800XL video card. I'm pretty sure that this kind of setup is enough to do dual screen without any problem
