LFS new version P available for download

Just got this... From the LFS Team, There is a new demo-patch available from: www.liveforspeed.net/download.htm www.liveforspeed.com/download.htm This is an intermediate patch which remains multiplayer and video compatible with the previous versions L, M, N Fixes and changes in patch P : 1) Host crash and two other multiplayer bugs fixed 2) Lap times now the same in practice or race 3) Can use buttons for accelerator and brake (options...controls) 4) Can select the the combined axis in combined axis mode 5) Can select the number of buttons up to 12 Note : Multiple controllers and clutch / shifters not yet supported. If you wish to use throttle and brake on separate axes : 1) Set your wheel to report throttle and brake on separate axes. 2) Start Live for Speed DEMO TEST and go into Options...Controls. 3) Click on the Throttle / Brake button to select separate axes. 4) Click on the Set up axes button to display the axis selection. 5) Select the appropriate axes and if necessary swap pedals. You may need to try all combinations of the 5 available axes until you find the correct settings for your wheel. You will know it is correct when the Set up axes button is green and your pedals have the right effect. 6) Finally you need to select the force type (one, two or three). To test the force type you must test drive your car in the game then return to the options screen until you have the right value. This temporary system has been tested on the following wheels : Logitech MOMO Force Thrustmaster Ferrari Force Feedback Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Logitech Wingman Formula Force (Serial) The following axis separate settings were found to work correctly : MOMO Ferrari Sidewinder Axes Separate Separate Separate Throttle RZ Y Y Brake Z Z RZ Swap Pedals ON ON OFF Force Type one two two Formula Force : In separate axis mode The LWFF wheel had a force that pulled to the left, however it worked fine in single axis mode, using force type 2 though two of the buttons were not available. It is not known if this patch works with the Thomas Super Wheel. It is possible that by selecting the correct number of buttons the TSW may be found to work. Thanks to all players for your testing.

As far as announced rally Sims are concerned, it really is a case of walking the walk, instead of talking the talk. They only have a simple web site, but a working Sim does their talking for them. "David Cook" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:fjua9.720$%[email hidden]...

Still haven't fixed the ATI Radeon problem I see. Ah well, I guess that will come in time. I just wish I could see what all the fuss is about! ^_^ Tsunami

Agreed.. really cool. But at the same time, it'd be cool if they had a West sort of website. I'd LOVE to watch them making this game on a webcam, since I feel sort of "connected" to it :) Mike http://mikebeauchamp.com "Tim Epstein" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:5Wva9.3033$[email hidden]... > As far as announced rally Sims are concerned, it really is a case ofwalking
