LFS Cruise Control

[cheb60]

Hello Members of TC,

I have found on the internet a cruise mod. It can lock my speed. Such as a cruise control. Is this alowed in the server?

I'm not going to use it for now but I just want to know if it is alowed. If it is. It should be handy for a cop .

If im alowed to post a link. Tell me i will post it then.

Regards

As far as I know, it's probably not allowed because it could be a form of speed hack (e.g. if you edit the values, you can exceed the limits of your car, limits that are otherwise an impossibility) - that's how the cruise control for TC worked that someone made for us quite a few months back, if this works the same way it's not allowed.

well could you check it for me? its at lfs helper and called cruise mod. its not a hack. I dont want to get banned so im just asking if someone could approve the program i have seen at lfs helper.

fill in at google lfs helper. then download cruisemod . Maybe a rev limiter is alowed but im not sure

[[TC]►BP◄]

Rev limiter is definitely allowed but I have a feeling cruise control isn't allowed for the reasons I've said. I could be wrong though.

Three or four months ago there was a person in the community who made a program which allowed you to stick to the speed relative of the speedlimit on the insim. This was banned by TC administration as it classed as a speedhack as the values could have potentially been modified. I'm not sure if this works in the same or similar way, but if it does, it will definitely be forbidden. I wouldn't advise using the cruise control mod until it is deemed allowed by a [TC].

That's not correct IIRC.

TC-SL was banned because when someone was using it, and it was holding them at the speed limit, it caused them to jump back and forth wildly.

PM one of the TC leaders a link to it, and they'll check it out for you.

Oh yes. I seem to recall that was another reason, so you're right. But I also seem to remember the foremost reason which was it could have been used as a speed hack.

I remember that mod and it isn't allowed on the TC servers.

Revlimiter controlls the throttle of the car(lets it off for a spesific time or to the rpm drops to a surten level, if the the cruise controll is buildt on the same base, I see no problem(imo).
BUT if it adjusts the speed of the car, it sounds "fishy"(also: imo)

[McGherkin]

Revlimiter (or at least the one allowed on TC) toggles the ignition key.

The one in NTO works differently, within LFS.exe to cut the throttle. TC-SL worked in the same way, cutting the throttle when the target speed is reached, but unlike NTO it didn't trigger CPW.

It'd be nice to have some kind of program that just changes gear when the speed limit changes, so you can use redline sets which adjust to the speed limit.

Or a program that effects the throttle on the other end - before it reaches LFS itself, if it's even possible. Adjusting how much you "press" the pedal.

Ridiculous.

[McGherkin]

About as ridiculous as automatic cruise control, no?

[SO•Audiojack]

I get a mini heart attack every time I hear someone driving at their revlimit. Even though I know it can't damage the cars ingame..

[Tommer]

I wouldn't encourage redline sets. Makes an awful racket, and isn't realistic in the slightest lol.

[McGherkin]

I just load up a quiet engine sound, and it's not about the realism, I only use it for making money which it does fine.

[Kieran]

all i do is change the ratios so say in 2nd it does 60mph max, 3rd does 75mph max and 4th does 100mph max and 5th is then for chases when u want to go faster than 100

[McGherkin]

That's a redline set

Its not the most ideal habit to get in to though.
