    Please, can anybody give me an instruction how to make a desktop gauge for lfs. I read the documentation and make everything like in documentation, but it doesn't work((((. And else one question: is there a more detailed documentation than on this forum?

    1). Run lfs from force sender with lfs plugin and changed cft.conf file as it is recommended in instruction.
    2). Then start force profiler with gauge.

    But the gauge's values are static when I drive.

    What else should I do?

    Thanks

    Afair, there are two similar config files in different folders. You have to make the changes to both of them.

    As well you have to be in cockpit-view of your own car to get values.

    Btw, did you press try send data in the Force-Sender?
    By pressing the button you should at least see changing values in the Profiler input-setup.

    If you didn't already, you need to edit the cfg.txt file in the LFS folder. Set the following values:


    OutGauge Mode 1
    OutGauge Delay 1
    OutGauge IP 127.0.0.1
    OutGauge Port 4124
    OutGauge ID 0

    I have seen some differing recommended values for this, so please be sure that your as set as above.
