LFS draadje

[Laurens]

Ben ook niet echt fan van de F1 auto...
Heb nog wel een setje voor je, hiermee moet het WR haalbaar zijn dus veel succes

[Robin]

Probeer maar eens op Blackwood onder de 1 minuut te rijden met tractiecontrole UIT. Ben je al aardig bezig

Anyway thanx jongens voor de links.

[René130i]

Ik vind dat racen maar niks in LFS. Gewoon oerend dwars gaan.

Vinden jullie zelf bv GTR2 niet beter voor racen dan LFS?

[Steven N.]

Wordt er nog wel eens LFS gespeeld door de DFers? Heb wel even zin om een stukje te sturen. Host: DFNL password: df007 kan hij nu niet vinden iig.

Ik rij/speel elke dag nog.. niet meer zoveel als 4 jaar geleden, toen was het toch echt een verslaving. Het racen in LFS vergeleken met GTR2 ? Hmm ik heb het niet zo met vergelijkingen want het heeft zo weinig zin. Iedereen heeft zo z'n eigen intepretatie van wat een goede sim zou moeten hebben/zijn. Het gave van LFS vind ik de langzamere "normale" auto's, daar kun je ongelofelijke close races mee hebben op elk niveau.

Ik vind persoonlijk de simbin sims wat minder omdat, voor mijn gevoel, de auto's wat meer zweven. Ik mis het gevoel zoals ik het met LFS heb, met de LX6 of de XRT kun je echt "dansen" , als die auto onderstuurt/overstuurt/glijd dan voel je dat, in de GTR sims mis ik dat enorm. Maar dat is dan misschien weer te verklaren aan het feit dat FIA GT wagens iets meer grip hebben dan de gemiddelde straat auto.

Paar mooie video's die het potentieel en detail van LFS heel mooi weergeven, heel natuurgetrouw zoals de auto's bewegen en de complexe en doordachte physics (check die tyre-deformation in onderstaande video's) zorgen ervoor dat ik telkens opnieuw met een vette grijns dit "spel" speel :

Kleine update.. patch Z. Nou ja.. klein.. lol !

Hello LFS Racers. Announcing... Patch Z!

The patch contains a lot of updates including :

- New interiors in XF and XR cars (road and GTR)
- Updated interiors in Formula XR and Formula V8
- General improvements to interface and graphics
- Improved weight distribution of GTR racing cars
- XR Turbo and RB4 suspension improvements
- Replay controls (click any point on time line)
- Demo racers must now register to go online
- Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Bulgarian


Three ways to get Patch Z :

1) AUTO UPDATER - If you already have version V, W, X or Y :

- Click on "Multiplayer" then "List of Games" in LFS and choose a download mirror.

2) MANUAL PATCH - If you already have version Y :

- Click HERE and save the patch into your LFS folder.
- With the patch correctly positioned in your LFS folder, run it and select "Yes to all" when asked about overwriting files.

3) FULL VERSION - If you are new to LFS or making a fresh installation.

- Click HERE to visit the download page and follow the installation instructions


More detailed information :

INCREASED FRAME RATES :

By using the same Hardware Vertex Shading system as the car body, the subobjects (steering wheel, gearstick, brakes, mudguards, etc) now make better use of your graphics card, saving CPU time and increasing the frame rate on most computers. Those that do not experience much frame rate increase should find it is smoother and more consistent. There are small graphical improvements as a side effect of this change. You should find that the pit-out glitch is reduced as well.

REPLAY CONTROLS :

Multiplayer replays now have the same interface as single player replays.
They loop and the Escape Menu is available while watching.
Also, replay controls have been added. A timeline is visible when you move the mouse.
You can click anywhere on the timeline and the replay will go back or forward to that point.

Some new keys have been added :

1) Single frame step : ',' or '.' (SHIFT + ',' or '.' = one second step)
2) SPACE to pause / unpause during a replay (same as P)
3) ESCAPE to break out of fast forwarding
4) SHIFT + F now has 3 states if you are in a replay (the 3rd state hides everything including all messages and replay controls)

DEMO LICENSE SYSTEM :

User name and password are now required to go online in DEMO.
DEMO / S1 / S2 all appear in the same List of Hosts.

NOTE to DEMO users :

- You will need to set a GAME password at www.lfs.net to go online
- Log in and click on "account details" to set your GAME password
- You will see all compatible demo hosts and demo compatible S1 / S2 hosts

NOTE to S1 users :

- You will see all S1 and S1 compatible S2 hosts in the list of hosts

NOTE to HOSTS :

- Hosts in S2 mode - all S2 users can join
- Hosts in S1 mode - all S1 and S2 users can join your host
- Hosts in Demo mode - all LFS users can join your host

XFR / XRR MIRROR SKIN MAPPINGS :

The XFR and XRR have new mirrors and the old mappings could not be used.
An updated CMX Viewer is available in the additional downloads section

CAR PHYSICS CHANGES :

Big GTR class :

XRR : weight dist back 1.5% - CoG down 13 mm
FZR : weight dist forward 1.5% - CoG down 5 mm
FXR : weight dist back 1.5% - CoG down 8 mm

TBO class :

XRT : weight dist back 1% - CoG down 3 mm
RB4 : CoG down 10 mm

XRT and RB4 also got a small rear suspension update to raise the rear roll centre a little. This should reduce body roll and make them nicer to drive.

Small GTR class :

XFR CoG down by 10 mm and weight distribution back 1.0%
UFR CoG down by 22 mm and weight distribution back 1.5%

XFR also now has a sequential gearbox.

EAST ASIAN LANGUAGE SUPPORT :

Windows 98 / ME : LFS does not support double byte characters
Windows Vista : Double byte characters shodul work automatically
Windows XP : It should work but you may need to install fonts.

If you have Windows XP and currently cannot see the East Asian translations, here's how to set up your computer so it works.

- In Control Panel click on "Regional and Language Options" (see attached screen shot)
- Under the "Languages" tab select "Install files for East Asian Languages".
- Windows will probably ask you to get your XP CD and the fonts will be installed.

This is important even if you do not use Chinese, Japanese or Korean translations so you can see East Asian text and player names correctly when you are online.

OTHER IMPORTANT CHANGES :

- Chinese, Japanese and Korean Translations
- All tracks now use JPG textures for adverts
- Various fixes including a South City hot lapping issue
- Full-scene antialiasing and anisotropic filtering are now supported

Van patch Y naar Z : http://www.lfs.net/file_mirror.php?name ... Y_TO_Z.exe

[Rodney]

XRG is mooi geworden..

vooral met trueno skin
Mensen die wel is in montana spelen?

ben cop daar

[Miesjel]

Nee ik ben wel eens online @ CLC cruise als ik me verveel. Best grappig soms hehe.

[Dennis Cavallino]

Ok, pc doet 't eindelijk weer. Krijg ook weer meer tijd. Dus ben nu alle patches aan het upgraden, stuurtje morgen opnieuw instellen en dan ken ie weer schuin. Ik ben benieuwd naar Patch Z.

[Dennis Cavallino]

Irritant dat je weer al je setups kwijt bent en iedereen moet vragen naar setups, waarvan je niet weet of ze ook voor jezelf geschikt zijn. Is daar een goede oplossing voor?

[René130i]

Geen idee.

Ik zal ook de Z patch ff testen binnenkort. Ben benieuwd.

[Joost H.]

http://www.setupgrid.net/index.php?acti ... ype=hotlap

656 setups.. even allemaal testen......

Daarna snel deinstalleren en beginnen aan Iracing

[Robin]

Die patch Z , in welke map moet je die handmatig 'uitvoeren'?

[Miesjel]

Gewoon in de hoofdmap uitpakken, alles overschrijven wanneer erom gevraagd wordt.

[Dennis Cavallino]

Patch Z kun je gewoon vanuit je huidige LFS installeren, werkt nog makkelijker. Op www.liveforspeed.net staat 't op de eerste pagina die je ziet uitgelegd. Makkelijker wordt 't niet.

[Robin]

Nu heb ik patch Z met de nieuwe layout, maar nu zit ik in 'demo racer' en moet ik 'm weer unlocken. Punt is dat ik niet kan vinden waar ik de boel weer kan unlocken....

Unlocked en nu weer de hele shitzooi opnieuwe instellen(G25 stuurwiel) Hoe zit dat ook alweer?

Dit is godverdomme toch niet de manier?

[René130i]

Weet je de login nog voor http://www.lfs.net/ ?

Anders hier ff je e-mailadres invullen
http://www.lfs.net/?page=loginretreive

[Robin]

UNLOCKED Rene, maar nu ben ik m'n setups en stuurwielinstellingen kwijt, en wil niet het hele draadje nalopen:

Hoe moet ik de G25 in LFS weer instellen met die 'gecombineerde pedalen én die andere kutzooi?

gvd wat een lekkere patch.

Anyway, stuur staat weer ok. Nu dus alleen m'n setups kwijt....

[k33z]

@Robin,

Stop toch met rijden in meuk simulaties

Ga aan de gang met iracing!

[René130i]

LFS heerscht en betaal je je niet scheel an

Robin, ff in kloten in het menu. Weet ik zo niet.

[Robin]

Ik wacht op een invitation van iracing Kees.

Ben dus nu alleen m'n setups nog kwijt...

[k33z]

LFS heerscht en betaal je je niet scheel an

Robin, ff in kloten in het menu. Weet ik zo niet.

13 euro per maand! Dat is 7 liter benzine voor die fappermobiel!

Ik stem ervoor dat alle draadjes van race sims anders dan iracing verbannen worden van DF!

[René130i]

7 euro damn

[k33z]

7 euro damn

Inderdaad, dat is maar 4 liter benzine! Niet zeiken, inschrijven en brullen met die spullen.

HD format, LFS eraf, GTR2 eraf, RACE07 eraf, Rfactor eraf, etc.

Iracing erop en je bent klaar.

[René130i]

LFS! \0/

Echt gaaf
