Switching to other programs :

SHIFT-F4 - toggle between window / full screen

Command line options :

LFS can be run from a command line or another application. A dedicated host mode is available with no hardware draw : "nogfx".

Replay Analyser File :

This feature is provided for use in external analyser applications. It stores data from one lap of driving.

• USER information :
  • Press ESC while viewing the car in a replay, on the lap BEFORE the lap you wish to analyse. Click on "Output lap data" and enter the
    name of the output file. This file will be saved in a "raf" folder. Use an external application to open the .raf files (not supplied).
  • The file will be created when the car crosses the start line and will be closed when the car crosses it again 1 lap later.
• PROGRAMMER information :
  • www.liveforspeed.net/RAF.txt

Motion Simulator Support :

The user's car in multiplayer or the viewed car in single player or single player replay can output information to a motion system while viewed from an internal view.

This is controlled by four lines in the cfg.txt file :

OutSim Mode 0 :0-off 1-driving 2-driving+replay
OutSim Delay 1 :minimum delay between packets (100ths of a sec)
OutSim IP 0.0.0.0 :IP address to send the UDP packet
OutSim Port 0 :IP port

Each update sends the following UDP packet :

unsigned int :time in milliseconds (to check order)
Angular Velocity :3 floats
Orientation :3 floats Heading, Pitch, Roll
Acceleration :3 floats X, Y, Z
Velocity :3 floats X, Y, Z
Position :3 ints X, Y, Z (metres x 65536)

Note 1 : X and Y axes are on the ground, Z is up.

Note 2 : Motion simulators can be dangerous. The developers of the Live for Speed racing simulator do not support any motion systems in particular and cannot accept responsibility for any injuries or death connected with the use of such machinery.
