LFS Online

I can get LFS to work fine in XP, but whenever I try to connect to a server in Win98 (wheel doesn't work in XP) my machine freezes. Game works fine in single player mode though. Any sugestions, apart from buy a new wheel !. -- Dougal: God, I've heard about those cults Ted. People dressing up in black and saying Our Lord's going to come back and save us all. Ted: No, Dougal, that's us. That's Catholicism.

Hmm.. maybe buy a new wheel? :) Since there's not much you can do game-wise, since it's such an early version.. you could always make sure that you have the absolute latest version of your wheel's drivers. Maybe there's a way to get your wheel to work in XP afterall? If you have multiple controllers plugged in, get rid of them all except for your wheel. It seems as though a lot of work is being done on controller issues, axis assignment, multiple controller support, etc. The game works great for me (XP - Thrustmaster Ferrari FF), and I've had a blast racing online all night! Great close racing.. although I do have a small beef with the people that race with the Turbo and can't even control it... :( Mike http://mikebeauchamp.com "S�an Connolly" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ak2dhc$1es8pi$[email hidden]... > I can get LFS to work fine in XP, but whenever I try to connect to aserver in Win98 (wheel doesn't work in XP) my machine freezes.

I had the same problem until i clicked the option "window while connecting". When i put it on OFF it works fine for me. Dokter

there are lots of M.Schumachers online too, that shuts the door on you, making you crash. :( "Mike Beauchamp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:j1399.12979$[email hidden]...

Oh, I haven't tried that, will when I get home from work! What does this function actually do? Andre

Yeah, granted, this is my first time racing something extensively online.. it seems as though a few people don't know how to "give up the line". I'm guilty of it too I... Maybe if a damage model was implemented, people would think twice about trying to go 2-wide through the turn 2 chicane. Either way.. fun as hell Mike http://mikebeauchamp.com "Andreas Nystrom" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:vu599.2675$[email hidden]...

You can go two wide through there, you just have to do it with someone you trust.

This sim allows, even encourages, leaning on your fellow drivers where possible. Since at least a lane on either side of the tarmac is usable as well, 3-4 wide seems to be the norm at times. "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Blb99.136021$[email hidden]...

When it's on, it switches the game from fullscreen to a window - useful if when you connect to the internet, you get a connection pop-up or something of the sort. When its off, the game stays fullscreen. Milhouse

Yes, the chicane is just fun if you go 2wide scrubbing at eachother, since it actually allows that. What i meant was more when you are 20km/h higher speed on the straight, and the guy infront notice you are coming he will do anything to not let you pass. Even if he has a big off, the first priority is to get back on track, just to stop you passing :) "Ed White" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:pBd99.120809$[email hidden]... > This sim allows, even encourages, leaning on your fellow drivers where > possible.

Oh well, at least it works. Great fun online, allthough I mainly raced against the same people who ruin the N2002 races every night on the Sierra servers :-/ Andre
