I now know this sort of stuff is frowned upon (judging from the response to the Throttle Blipper thread!) but I thought I would post it here anyway as I'm sure it will be of interest to somebody.

I put this mod together today with C# in a few hours.

Please don't flame me, I'm only doing this stuff as proof-of-concept. I don't even race LFS competitively so you guys have nothing to worry about!

Never mind chaps. I've sorted it. It was nothing really. Just that each time I was closing LFS it would overwrite the cfg.txt. So all my setting changes were being lost and I wasn't realising (was using Notepad for editing!)

My config is as follows:

OutSim Mode 1
OutSim Delay 100
OutSim IP 192.168.45.4
OutSim Port 30002
OutSim ID 0
OutGauge Mode 1
OutGauge Delay 100
OutGauge IP 192.168.45.4
OutGauge Port 30002
OutGauge ID 0

I have setup Wireshark (a packet sniffer) to capture all traffic to 192.168.45.4 but when in-game there is nothing being sent at all

I have restarted the game since modifying the cfg.txt.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks

Eh? I am a licensed player - I think I've screwed up my forum account and possibly have signed up twice though. First time I've posted on here. Will investigate...

I'm not exactly feeling the love for this mod so I guess I'll shut up now

I was only using it on a Cruise server for the testing.

It's almost impossible to blip under braking on the keyboard because you simply don't have enough fingers! I'm using standard WASD key config, I don't know if maybe a different layout would make it possible?

Here is a video clip of it in action:

I used to love it in one of the old versions of the game where you could turn on throttle blipping. Unfortunately at some point in the revision history this was removed.

I'm just wondering if there is much interest for a proper "tool" to do this?

I've wrote one in C# and it's working like a dream It's so nice to bomb around in the LX4/Caterham and get nice automatic throttle blips. Especially nice under braking...

Let me know folks and I'll polish it up a bit and upload it somewhere...
