If you have a shifter, just set the user option to "shifter". For convenience, there are two separate versions of these settings : AutoClutch, GCCut, GCBlip. That's because a lot of people may wish to use auto clutch with their paddle shift and manual clutch with their shifter. NOTE about changing controls : There is a new script system you can read about below. When you select a car with a road / sequential or paddle shifter, LFS will run the file datascript oad.lfs (etc). Some people may wish to use the /button command in their scripts, to assign unused buttons. For example when you drive a formula car, you have a spare horn button and you might want to use that for the pit speed limiter. New LFS script system : - Place text file of commands xxx.lfs in script folder - Then script xxx.lfs can be run by typing /run xxx - Note : CAR.lfs is run when you select CAR e.g. XFG, BF1 - Note : autoexec.lfs is run when LFS reaches entry screen New text commands added (see Commands.txt in docs folder) : /fov [degrees] - field of view /ff [0-200] - force feedback strength /axis [axis] [function] - e.g. /axis 2 throttle /invert [0/1] [function] - e.g. /invert 1 brake /button [button] [function] - e.g. /button 5 shift_up /key [key] [function] - e.g. /key Q handbrake /head_tilt [degrees] - 1g head tilt /lateral_shift [m] - 1g lateral shift /forward_shift [m] - 1g forward shift /vertical_shift [m] - 1g vertical shift /say [message] - same as typing a chat message /echo [text] - show text only on local screen /spec [name] - same as spectate [name] /ctrlf [num] [text] - change text e.g. /ctrlf 1 hello /altf [num] [text] - change text e.g. /altf 1 /view=driver /wheel_turn [degrees] - specify turn angle of controller /press [key] - simulate key press /ctrl [key] - ctrl + key /shift [key] - shift + key /alt [key] - alt + key /autoclutch [0-1] - turn autoclutch off / on /gccut [0-1] - throttle cut on upshift /gcblip [0-1] - throttle blip on downshift /axlaps [num] - set autocross number of laps /view [fol/heli/cam/driver/custom] - select view IN A SCRIPT : //comment - this line is ignored IN CHAT BOX : //xxx - short for /run xxx /hrun X : admin can run script X on host /exec E C : run program E with command line C /shifter [auto/sequential/shifter] - shift mode (like SHIFT+G) /hidetext [no/yes] - hide text (like SHIFT+F) Windows Vista Support : Sound now works correctly in Windows Vista Unlocking is now possible in Windows Vista Misc : Added file docsCommands.txt - listing ALL commands Updated... docsAutocross.txt - for new functions Option : minimum time between gearshifts (debounce) S1 users can now use the automatic skin download system Automatic update system gives info, downloads, installs patch FF Steps now defaults to 256 (this gives higher resolution FF) Layouts do not set the number of laps unless a start pos exists S2 users can see and join S1 hosts in List of Games screen When first run, LFS defaults to desktop screen resolution Restricted areas and route checkers added to autocross Welcome / Tracks filename length increased to 31 chars New car data output files (press letter O in garage) Gearshift debounced (can't shift twice within 50 ms) InSim : MCI packets are now available in arenas InSim : IS_RES qualify packets sent even if not in table FIX : Outguage reported remote cars fuel load FIX : Driver's body optimisation was too sensitive FIX : Selecting drag strip often resulted in 3 lap race FIX : OutGauge now works on remote cars / MPR / external FIX : Reverse driving in hotlapping mode now invalidates HLVC FIX : Starting LFS with /join command needlessly loaded last track FIX : Corrected positions of translator names on credits screen FIX : A few wrong vertices on driver necks and marshall helmet FIX : Mirrors and clocks sometimes corrupted after minimising FIX : Small map sometimes went off screen or overlapped text FIX : Unlock was lost after hibernation on some computers FIX : CTRL+F keys did not work during replays New file associations system : SPR / MPR / SET / LYT files can now be opened directly In Windows, right click and set them to open with LFS Double clicking a SET or LYT file copies it to its folder Double clicking a SPR or MPR file copies and runs the replay Patch U to V installation instructions : Step 1: Download the patch into the main Live for Speed folder on your hard drive.
