I understand the distortion is kind of strange, because it is linear. Although 'correct' in one sense it is sort of wrong in another, related to our perception.
Ideally there could be a distortion shader to make this affect more agreeable but this is not available in LFS.
There is a quite extreme setting you can use. It uses multiple renders to create the main scene.
In Options - View ... there is a setting "Multiple screen layout" and you can set up to 5 left screens and 5 right screens. This can approximate a cylindrical render, created from 11 vertical linear renders per frame.
I'd be interested to know if you get any improvement by using that.
You would adjust the view in that case by "Main screen FOV" and "Screen Angle" which should be a fairly small number.

Just so you know, I decided to revive this thread because its your last post on the forums, after a 3 year hiatus (2017)...
@admins - send email to Nilex on befalf of LFS community asking him to come back
pls?
he's probably just waiting for the update . . .

Here I am again, beating on the dead horse due to an external reference :
"Microsoft is not on the business of making OS's, the OS is nothing but a data mining tool. I wonder how much money they make on the sale of user data vs total sales of Windows OS" ... "at this point you're paying to be spied on"
Guess " meat is back on the menu boys "

I still need to exclude front-wheel drive cars. Is there a query for the drivetrain?
is it something like

... and then the same if-then logic can be applied in the same way.

Made a video of my driving a grass cutter round the 'infields' layout ...
As per your suggestion, I've made 2 different versions of the 'Perimeter' layout that now have pit areas. One to the left just before Turn 1, and one to the right ...
If anyoune wants to modify the other 3 versions, then be my guest.
As each layout uses the maximum 3000 objects, you'll need to remove the bales round some of the bends to give you spare objects to use for pits.

To make it more readable in the script, I've put the new lines on seperate lines, and started each line with

Buenas tardes a todos.
Los invito a reflexionar, ... Para que un usuario usaria varias cuentas, o cambiaria su IP, para entrar a un server?
-Porque se castigaria al servidor con recortes herramientas para detectar
dichos usuarios?
-Porque se protege tanto a dichos usuarios?
En respuesta al señor Scawen....
y cito:
Los desarrolladores no querrán asumir la responsabilidad de revelar las direcciones IP de los usuarios a los proveedores de alojamiento.
Que problemas legales conllevarian esa "responsabilidad"? (para LFS)
Los desarrolladores querrán proporcionar una ayuda más sólida a los proveedores de alojamiento para identificar a los jugadores problemáticos.
Eso lo tienes al alcance de un click, y no pasa por desviar el tema, ni se trata de una IP.
Good afternoon, everyone.
I invite you to reflect... Why would a user use multiple accounts, or change their IP, to access a server?
Why would the server be punished by cutting tools to detect such users?
Why are such users so protected?
In response to Mr. Scawen...
and I quote:
Developers won't want to take responsibility for revealing users' IP addresses to hosting providers.
What legal issues would such "responsibility" entail? (for LFS)
Developers will want to provide more robust support to hosting providers to identify problem players.
That's just a click away, and it's not about getting off topic, nor is it about an IP.

To Windows 11, or not to Windows 11, that is the question.
It is known that the security updates will end 14th of October for win10.
I am not willing to casually transition to the new standard, maybe not so important on the reasons why, there is the LTSC version which will receive updates (security, not features) until 2032
Has anyone been this stubborn?
What can we expect from keeping up with an "old" version of win10? Just wait for OTA updates like now in "normal" win10 ?
Seamless transition where every new game/app/etc until 2032, that says supports win11, can we expect to work as well on LTSC? ("work as well" meaning if there aren't any major architecture or DirectX changes that causes incompatibilities. Not focusing on which will have the best performance)... Haven't seen many discussing this, what are your thoughts?

Well I found this thread so, here it goes ...
Whilst browsing the mod list on the website, I was expecting the rating sort to work as a total reviews, but I believe I was wrong now thinking about it.
As you can see the rating sort is working as the biggest number closer to 5, as it should(1 review of 5 is better than 400 reviews of 4), but I believe it would be beneficial to have another sorting list with the amount of reviews (total number of users who clicked the button "OVERALL")
I specify the Overall because I noticed some cars I've reviewed were missing the others fields of the review(Technical, Graphical etc..)

After a lot of effort, managed to get a couple of fastest times back ...
This is the last of this track on my server - about to change to a newly made layout.
To those that set a time, or two, many thanks.

Took me a lot of laps over a couple of weeks to set the fastest times, and someone takes a couple of hours to beat every vehicle type he tried ...
as always, reading such things is a real pleasure 
, keep up the wonderful work guys 
NB : I like the mention of "At Fern Bay, the old version" ... agree, the 2.0 track will be the one to rule rule them all
