Shift light in LFS z25 problem.

[Radekteam]

Hi,
I found problem with outgauge pack in LFS z25. Before z25 in outgauge shiftlight was in FLAGS structure. Now it's in ShowLights, but it's not working in every car. I know that now not every car has shiftlight on dashboard, but is there any way to figure out when shiftlight shoud be on like in older versions.


struct OutGaugePack
{

...
word Flags; // <- before z25 here was shiftlight and it was
// working for every car
...
unsigned DashLights; // Dash lights available
unsigned ShowLights; // <- now shiftlight is here but it's not
working for every car
...
};






I hope you know what im talking about

if you make an app what flash a light somewhere in the screen at the correct rev then you can make it

The way I corrected this problem is the above, create a list of the cars and where the redline/shiftlight should be and check the car u are in and mke the shiftlight come on at the desired RPM

I know what you mean but shiftlight is depending on each gear settings and at every gear is turning on, only on specyfic revs different a every gear i think.

Or am i wrong??

Maybe with some shift lights??
On my motorbike I have a shiftlight which is set at a certain rpm for all forward gears. I dont know if theres any that have separate gear settings?? Or if the LFS cars have different rpm shiftlights on each gear? or all on one set rpm (7400rpm etc)

I will do it as you said me, thx. BTW in ma VW POLO 6n2 GTI i've got custom made Shift light connected to ECU by Vag port and its working on various rpm for each gear.

The shift light in LFS comes on when wheel torque in the next gear will be higher than the current wheel torque, so that would vary with gearing. It's never a "set" rpm

I believe this was revised and has not been the case for some time.

Is that so? Didn't know that. When was it changed? The last version of LFS I had installed still operated this way.

Urgh.. wish you wouldn't ask difficult questions. I have a sucky memory :p

I *think* it was at the release of the FBM, but I can't remember exactly.. and I could be wrong entirely, but that was my understanding at the time. Whichever time it was.

[edit] According to the notes for patches X10-X38, "Redline rpm and rev limiter rpm point reduced in all cars". I'm not sure if this is an adjustment to a previously-introduced change to the way the system worked, or if it's the only mention.

Your quote mentioned nothing about the shift light... :really:

:razz:

Indeed Sam, that just means the point at which the redline starts on the tachometer as well as where the rpm limiter kicks in has been lowered. Has nothing to do with the shift light, which is still created dynamically.

[SamH]

Oohh.. ahhh. You're right, of course. Splains why my driving turned to shite about this time, too :p :)

With Bogey Jammer's dynocharts and the gearing data, it should still be possible to implement a reasonably accurate shift light. More work obviously, but perhaps one of those in dire need of that stupid light is up to it :razz:
