Works fine with DK2, Thanks.

Oculus Shop opened in the background after switching to VR Mode but game works fine. After exit you are automatically in Oculus Home. I am sure this was already discussed somewhere, but why is LFS not available (or will be?) in Oculus Shop?

Quote from Scawen :...I supposed it was clear that I didn't want to spend time on it myself.


Thanks for the info. To be clear, does this mean you were able to use the Rift, through the OpenVR option in LFS? I am asking because I have never seen this. My SteamVR doesn't seem to notice the Rift in any way.

Yes it was clear, that's because I used a smiley.

No, I mean that different.
I can now use runtime 0.7 and for HL2 I can downgrade the SteamVR beta version to v1446847085 in settings. Did not know that this is possible.

But using the Rift with SteamVR can work. Elite Dangerous for example does not support the Rift directly, you can only run it using SteamVR (or the older runtime 0.5). They stopped direct Rift support after runtime 0.6 release and since them it only works on the Rift using SteamVR.

Quote from Scawen :Yes, a programmer like me, but not me. I have too much important work to do, so can't spend time coding for individual people just so they can use an obsolete version of the Rift SDK, purely because other software developers can't be bothered to update their software.

Yes, you may be able to use Steam VR, if you can with other games. Try selecting the OpenVR option in LFS.

WTF...
This was only a question, don't need to be frustrated.
I have only asked because you already made some DLL Files or something else in the past for different versions. You posted it here and in Oculus Forum and I read it, that's it.
It was not an request for coding something individual for me.
Sorry for asking.

Back to my question and what I have done now.
SteamVR can be downgraded in settings to an older version of the beta that works with 0.6, takes only few seconds.
In this point SteamVR seems to be more flexible then oculus and can connect to different versions and use it.

Have a nice day.

First, happy new year.

Quote from Scawen :
A programmer could use these to produce a DLL that works with 0.6.....

You mean a programmer like you?
Thumbs up


Ok thanks for the info.
For now I prefer to be able to play HL2VR with my Hydras and will stay on 0.6.
I thought there is maybe a easy way to use Steam VR for it as I do with Half Life 2 or Elite Dangerous.
At the moment I don't want to switch between runtimes every time, but maybe new LFS content will make this more attractive in the future Big grin

Hi.

Just updated my LFS and wanted to Download the new Track (activate S3).
But after trying LFS with my Rift (runtime 0.6) it seems that it does not work anymore with that runtime. But I can't update the runtime because I am playing Half Life VR with Hydra and this need 0.6.

Is there any way to get the new Version of LFS running with the Rift using runtime 0.6?

@Whiskey
Thank you a lot.
It was the Profiler and the LFS.exe. LFS.exe didn't change but it seems after Update to 0.6G the profile have to be made new.
Now with a new profile to the same LFS.exe it works.
Thank you, that was the idear.

Quote from viraaj5555 :Did you see the controls options and see if the keys you're pressing actually are assigned to shift? Maybe it got resetted?

Yes, I testet it already.
It don't aceppt the weel buttons shift paddles.
But if I test the weel buttons and shift paddles in the logitech tool all works.
Also if I start LFS 0.6F (i have a backup), the shift paddles works with 0.6F fine.
But now with 0.6G in the options it "flashs" when pressing but they do not be shown or saved.
I also think that this is not a bug. But it don't work and i don't know why, need help.
In the last step i will install it new, sure. But maybe there is something else that i can do?

No one any idea?
That's terrible, this means I have to wait for a new update (if it is a bug, I don't know). And you know, this can take weeks or months. That's not ok for me, maybe it's the right time to move :-( But if I do so, I will miss the very good Ocuus Rift Support..... stupid situation for me
After Update to 0.6G can't shift anymore

Hi all.

This week I Updated LFS to play with a friend.
After the Update we tried to play but we could not shift anymore in the game.
I have a Logitech G25 and did not have that problem in the past.
I also tried to use the "s" and "x" key on the keyboard but this did not work, same as with the weel buttons.

So I thougt the weel have any damage and we play something else.
Today I want to test it again and also to see if the weel is damaged to buy a new one.
But the weel is ok, everything works in the logitech tool and also in other games.
The only thing I updated last week was lfs anf LFSLazy. Lazy was already deleted to see if that cloud be the Problem, did not help.

Next I tried a Backup of LFS 0.6F and everything works well.
With 0.6F I can shift with weel buttons and with the "s" and "x" keys.

Can anyone help?

Windows 7
G25
LFS 0.6G

I don't know what to do now.

@Mawgly:
Here are the screens and also a short Video.
Video is .mp4 (72,7MB - 1:03m) and embedded in html5, I have tested it with crome browser.
Not every browser supports it. If you have more than one browser try it with another one if it don't work with the first one. If you can't watch the Video in the browser Download it, click with the right mouse button on it and select Dowload.

@AH_Viper:
Thank you so much, that's it :-)
That's what we need, now we can have nice LFS DK2 Rift sessions :-)

@Scawen:
Good idea with the multiplayer setup, I also already thout about that.
But with the Test patch I can't start my host as I normally do at the other PC.
Than I joined with the second PC.
And on the same PC I can't run LFS on Rift and joining in another Window.
But it is posible to join on the PC where I have the Dedicated host running and watch there in 2D.
Maybe better than the two eyes 3D look.
But for know the Open Broadcaster Software seems to be the best way without second PC.

I found now also the settings for the onscreen displays.
Thank you all


@Mawgly:
I will post it later today

Hi jujek,

you can motivate the devs by buying the S2 version of the game ;-)
You are right, the main page looks also really good.

To all:
Is there really no possibility to have the image of the screen on two monitors? PC Monitor and Oculus Rift at the same time? As already said I will try a hdmi splitter, but if there maybe another solution that I don't know?

To the onscreen displays:
They look good, but they are maybe to small?
Because of the resolution I can't read the time table at the start/finish line.
I have to look directly at it and go with the head a little bit closer to it.
Do anyone have the same experience?


To the sitting position:
How is the start position of the head made?
A friend tried it yesterday and he told me that the driving position in the car is too deep. I tried it also with the same car and for me it was ok. He is taller than me, maybe is that the problem for him in the position in the racing seat? Can the position of the head be changed in the settings? Will try that later today.

Edit:
@ Mawgly: We drived yesterday with 19 bot's, so all in all there were 20 Cars on track.
It was all ok for us, no diference VS driving alone.
That's only for your information.

Hi Scawen,
now after my DK2 also arrived I could test it with LFS and I have to say that it was fantastic. Thanks for that really good work. Yesterday we played nearly two hours, switched driver every 10 Laps. Until know the second Person could look at the monitor while the other was driving, but in LFS with the Osulus Rift there is only at the Rift a image of the game. Will there be a Window with ingame image at the other screen in the future like in the Demos I tested?

For the next time we will try a HDMI splittter that my Friend will bring from home, maybe this is already the solution for us.


Another Point:
I was looking around for DK2 Demos and stuff like that and found something interesting.
"Leap Motion" for the Oculus Rift. It detects Hands and Fingers in the air as you can see in the Video (start @ 0:54 language german). Sure the range is not so much (see @ 3:12 in the Video) but maybe enough to put it at the Virtual / Real wheel and back. Maybe also a little bit to the left or right to use virtual buttons in the car.

Don't know how good it already is but maybe it is something for the future.
And sorry for my bad englisch.

Could not create file mapping object

I also got that error.
After startet LFSLazy through a batch file and now through a script the problem is gone and it works very well.

Great tool, Thanks DANIEL-CRO

Quote from Flame CZE :You can run the auto-updater by going to Multiplayer - Show list of hosts. It will pop up automatically. And you don't need to unlock the game again.

That was quick, thank you.
Didn't know that the game have an auto-updater

Thanks for the Update.
Nice to see that you continue developing LFS so that the tool I am making will not be useless.

I have a few Questions to that Update:
Do I have to Update the hole game by installer, and do I need to unlock it again after that?
What is with the DCon, do I have to Update anything on that or can I host the Server with the "old" files?

@Lexanom:
Thank you for this amazing InSim tool.
I found it last year and since that we used it every time we play LFS.
I normally don't drive alone and only one time per week with a friend.
We switched after 10 laps and most of the time we do training or Qualy.
Since we used your tool this makes more fun because we can drive against the PB from one of us. This gives the game a more valuable for us, Thank you very much for that.
I hope you will continue working on it...

We thought about the possibility to add a ghost car. With the exception of the position of the car with graphics it's already pretty close to that (from the view of someone that don't know how this was done).

I don't know how many people download this and used it, but I want to tell you that here are two guys that you have made very happy with it.

Quote from Chriship :Nice tool,

Many Thanks!

Thanks for feedback.
It's nice to see that someone have tried it.

Maybe someone can make icons that are a little bit nicer than that what i have created. As you can see I'm not a graphic artist

Hi all.

I made a small tool for easier access to LFS and other programs.
The aim was to start LFS with other programs together with 3 seconds break between program starts.
I have also added a few launch buttons for some LFS programs and two Custom Buttons.


Feel free to try it if you have time and interest.
If you find any bug please write me an email or here in the forum.


Update 14.09.2013: Version 0.6

Only testet with resolution 1920x1080.
Other resolution maybe not work.

Whats new in v0.6:
- Option to enable driver change
- changing driver by shortcut SHIFT+2, SHIFT+3, SHIFT+4
- shortcut SHIFT+1 to disable driver change

You can change driver by shortcut in the game.
After changing the new driver starts from the pit.
Number of drivers in the settings must be the number of existing driver in LFS. Not the number of real drivers at the moment.

Don't change drivers to fast. Wait 2 seconds until changing to the next driver.
