Switching to Other Programs :

-----------------------------
The ALT+TAB key press is not recommended during a multiplayer game
as after ALT+TAB the game may never be called by the operating system
and cannot maintain its connections with the other computers.
Instead, please use the quick key SHIFT+F4 to temporarily run the
game in a window.
SHIFT+F4 - toggle between window / full screen

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 can be found at www.liveforspeed.net

Translation :
-------------
To create a language pack :
- First run LFS. This will create a file "English.txt" in a folder
 "data\language". Please do not edit English.txt as it will be
overwritten each each time you start LFS. Instead, make a copy of
the file with the name of your language replacing "English".
- After creating your new file, it can be edited in a text editor.
- Load your language in Options...Player.
- Reload the language file any time with SHIFT+F5, for convenience.
- The help.txt file can also be edited, in the data\misc folder, copy
the file help.txt to a new file help_XXX.txt (where XXX.txt is the
name of your language file).
- If you plan to make a new translation, we recommend that you contact
us about it - we now have a special online translation system and it's
possible someone else is already working on the language you want to
translate - we may be able to get you in contact with them or set up
your language for you to edit online.

Controlling LFS from another program : InSim

Motion Simulator Support : OutSim
External Dashboard Support : OutGuage
-----------------------------------------------
The InSim, OutSim and OutGuage systems are
