View settings and gear shift debounce/latest engine sounds.

[Jimston]

So what do you guys use for standard view settings, and which is most realistic. I've been playing LFS on and off for years and have just recently began playing with the Lateral head tilt? forward, vertical etc etc settings.

Can you guys take screen shots and post them of your view settings. or just list what settings seem most realistic for high speed driving.

There is also other settings that involve the camera swaying left and right that i've hardly played with. I'm really just looking to add something new to a game that i've played for quite a while.

I'm looking to add freshness to a game that has become a bit fun again, but still, it would be great to add new life to the game. Also looking for the most up to date engine sounds.

Depends on the car.

In the single seaters, I use very low head movements. GTRs get slightly more "shakey" settings, and the roadcars have "bounce about in your chair" head movements.

Yay for LFS scripting!

Is it really possible to script those? I didn't know that :shy:

I reckon you can pretty much script any option in LFS.

Yup :)

My FXR.lfs contains;


//FXR script
/echo ^1FXO GTR:

// Wheel turn
/run /conf/wheel-540

// This controls the gear style switcher. Add another / to switch it off.
/run /conf/gs-seqtopad

// Force feedback (0-200)
/ff 10

// Default view (fol/heli/cam/driver/custom)
/view driver

// Loads settings for driver view movement
/run /conf/view-gtr


and view-gtr.lfs has;

/head_tilt 2.0
/lateral_shift 0.020
/forward_shift 0.025
/vertical_shift 0.012


Different cars load different view .lfs's, one for SS, one for GTR and one for roadcars :)

Thank you! Where did you find those commands? I mean the forward shift etc., those are not in the documentation.

To be honest mate, I really can't remember!

From a couple of minutes with Google I think.

There's a slight issue though, when using the GUI you can set head tilt to 3, but if you use 3 in the script, LFS doesn't see it and uses 2 instead.

AFAIK everything in Commands.txt can be used in scripts :thumbsup:
