The key binding for operating the turn signals should be user-defined.

The turn signals can only be operated with the keys 7; 8; 9; 0. This is very inconvenient to use, and I therefore never use them. On Cruise servers, however, the turn signals are needed, and I would like to be able to set the keys for them myself. The same applies to other keys that cannot be changed. And in the new LFS for Light on and windshield wipers.

Quote from Aleksandr_124rus :N.400S GT4

The car lacks Traction Control (TC) and that's likely the main reason why the AIs struggle to drive it well.

Quote from loopingz :did not reset

In my games, the 'Allow car reset' option is not allowed. I believe it is unnecessary.

It seems that the standard setup for the BF1-AIs is better. With my personal setup, where TC is also turned off, they take three seconds longer for AS Historic than with the standard setup that is loaded when "Misc> AI use player setup" is turned off. I geuess they have problems to drive without TC and ABS, because they are not sensitive enough.

Quote from Avraham Vandezwin :I'm way too fast for the AI

The BF1 AIs are really fast in the Pro Mode. Fast enough for me. But i drive not much at time, maybe when i have more training i will be faster than the First Position AI..... I start always in the last position. And using the slipstream for taking over means not that i am fasterSmile.

Quote from Viperakecske :multiplayer is the thing everyone plays not singleplayer

I play Single Player with AIs. I drive the BF1 with 4 AIs. The AIs sometimes crashed before the update and they also crash after the update. I have smooth graphics in single player with a FreeSync Monitor. This doesn't work in Multiplayer. The players in multiplayer have very high skills. I guess to get these skills, you need training in the single player mode. I need training in the single player mode.

Rename the file extension to 7z and extract it with Beyond Compare or your favorite extractor. The AV think only its a virus because the exe file contains a 7z archive.

Quote from rane_nbg :of vsinc to cap the fps to 120

For better results use 100 fps. But i have a 144 Hz FreeSync Monitor. Without such a Monitor works it anyway not.
Sleep every frame?

What do the option "Sleep every frame"? It have no effect. I guess CHatGPT-4 described me his option wrong.

Quote :LFS (Live for Speed) is a racing simulation game that focuses on realistic driving mechanics and physics. The "Sleep every Frame" option is an advanced setting designed to reduce CPU usage by inserting a brief pause after every rendered frame. These pauses help lower CPU consumption and system temperature, especially on older or less powerful computers.

When the "Sleep every Frame" option is enabled, the game briefly waits after rendering a frame before moving on to the next frame. This delay can help the computer better handle other tasks running simultaneously, such as background applications or multitasking.

However, it is essential to note that enabling "Sleep every Frame" may affect the frame rate or game fluidity, as the game is intentionally slowed down to insert pauses between frames. In some cases, this can result in a less smooth and less responsive gaming experience. If you have a more powerful computer or prioritize frame rate, you may want to keep the "Sleep every Frame" option disabled.

Quote from michal 1279 :Nah, it means that every 16th or 17th frame is used for the rendering instead of every 5th or 6th.

No. By 300 fps are this whole numbers. every 6th for 50 Hz and every 5th for 60 Hz and with 1000 fps are this every 20th for 50 fps and every 16th or 17th for 60 fps.

But 1000 / 60 = 16.6666666666666 and 300 / 60 = 5

This mean, 300 is better than 1000.

300 fps Tickrate allow smooth graphics on all displays. It works with 60 Hz and 50 Hz.

But Freesync make this irrelevant Smile
But Videos are the most time in 60 fps or 50 fps. Lower fps than 50 are irrelevant.

Quote from Gutholz :Maybe pressing(holding) a button gives a longer input than a turn of the mouse wheel?

No. I made it with "Virtual Controller" now and give the release trigger with the joystick button 2. A Mouse Wheel is like a Axis and have no release trigger. With VC can u change a axis in a button, but then works the release not and without release LFS think that the button holding and it works not. If using Iverted Button you need 2 mousewheel raster for one shifting.

Anyway. it have nothing to do with the time of holding, because it works also when i press my release-button (Joystick2) permanent and then use the MouseWheel, the virtual Button will just be pressed very short, extremely short.

In the old LFS works shfting with the Mousewheel and full throttle. https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1891495#post1891495

Edit:I use now again the Joystick Buttons for shifting, because i dont want press always the Release-Botton and it worked sometimes not properly. My old Logitec extreme 3d was broken and my new joystick have not enough buttons, but i use anyway this 2 buttons on top. The Joystick is for me only throttle and brake and watch out. In an other driving simulator i use the mouse wheel for shifting and this 2 buttons need i there for watch out.

Mouse Wheel for gear shifting works not good?
matze54564
S3 licensed
When i use the mouse wheel for shifting, i have to release the throttle or the shifting will be impossible. When i use buttons instead of the mouse wheel, i can shifting with full throttle. Accelerating is very much more effective when shifting with full throttle is possible and the Mouse Wheel is just the best shifter if you dont have a wheel. Is this a bug or a feature?

i was testing the Oculus Rift (bad HMD with extremely bad resolution, but it works) and have to say: The stereoscopic Mirrors are amazing. It run not smooth because of 100 Hz Tickrate, but Head Moving is smooth and for example ETS2 (bad physics) have Mono-Mirrors. Please keep this.

But until the HMDs having Freesync is it maybe not relevant.

A good sim (not a arcade sim) like LFS can maybe not having a Frame-Rate which is not influenced by the tick rate, this works maybe only with arcade like simulators.

Now i know how to run LFS smooth like butter, but this works only offline and not online. It seems online are very much more GPU Power needed. The AMD Vega can only be used with full power with DirectX 12. Euro Truck Simulator run not 100% smooth because the GPU run only half power with DirectX 11. Creating alot of pseudo-Frames for heating the Graphic Card is not the right way and make it de facto not smoother.

The FOV-Setup is not the right way to setup a good in-car-view because of the big distortion. Objects in the middle are then very much smaller than objects at the margin. If you setup a extremely wide FOV and turn around you see what i mean. This effect disturb me also by smaller FOVs. Also at 75° is this effect still present, but because you watch also in a similar angle to the outside objects like they projected to a flat disk are this not so much disturbing and cause no motion sickness. There is a reason why some CS-Pros playing in 4:3 with black bars..... The distortion is the reason.

How to make LFS Smooth like Butter with a Samsung 144 Hz Freesync Monitor?

Misc
1. Disable Vsync
2. Maximum Frame Rate = 100
3. Sleep every Frame = Yes (Westhill is also without this Option smooth, but Aston not)
4. Maximum Buffered Frames = 2 (0 and 1 have i not tested)
Screen
5. 1920x1080 @144 Hz. (Must be changed via In-Game Setup)

Only when the Monitor at 144 Hz is no tearing effect, maybe this is the magic Freesync frequency......

The Monitor are in all cases except Full Screen TV better at 144 Hz.

Scawen please learn german and read this: https://misie.ga/vsync-freesync-fastsync-cpugpu-sync-engine-lag-reaktionszeit

To make LFS smoother.

I bought a FreeSync Monitor and at 100 Hz (dont know if FreeSync works with LFS, but without it will be never smooth, dont know why) also sometimes come the common known stutter-time, maybe because CPU/GPU fell out of sync. My Radeon Vega is fast enough, LFS need only 12% GPU.

And i have to say: The FOV-Setup-Possibility should be completely removed. When using 3 Monitor setup is for every monitor another perspective and projection necessary!!!!! And the completely useless FOV like 30° and 160°......... The 160° cause only a extremely distorted picture. And the 30° are maybe for people which playing with a small TV in 4m distance...... The FOV-Setup should be the same like it is. If a Human are sitting in 60cm distance from the monitor are this ca. 60° FOV. Maybe maximal 75° are a Compromise. Because you need a completely different projection technology for a wider FOV, Thats the reason why the Pimax completely fail, because the projection go to a flat Disc and needed is a spherical projection method for wider FOVs with stereoscopic Glasses. Stereoscopic Glasses with wide FOV fail because the projection method is not spherical.

Quote from MaartenB :I've got a rift cv1 and tried the patch. I start the game with LFS.exe /rift=on, I've reset the nvidia settings and the game stutters a lot. Oculus does not show dropped frames, but it's not smooth at all.

This is a recording of using the rift (and keeping my head still)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHNMQNn-bEA

LFS is not able to run smooth with 60Hz or 90Hz because the tickrate is 100Hz.

Scawen please tell your "Motorsports", that 600 Hz are enough and they should change their systems from 1000 Hz Tickrate to 600 Hz Tickrate. I bet LFS will otherwise never be smooth.

And why run LFS out of 50 Hz Vsync after some minutes? Other Games stay in Vsync everytime.

Hoping LFS learn to stay in Vsync with DirectX 11.
