I'm listening to Chronix Agression (net radio), Five Finger Death Punch - The Bleeding from the album Way of the Fist.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

But IT does NOT sound RIGHT, you should hear THE screaming sound AS it was in PATCH x, like the engine is ABOUT to explode, i do not want a rev limiter IN XFG.. (sorry woz, i had to.. but i do mean what i said)

In my version currently it sounds like this(see attachment and sig.).

OT:

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

My question was, how soon will graphical improvements be brought in, that have a big impact on FPS. X --> Y had a significant impact, with higher-res and improved textures.

If Scawen can implement hardware draw for subobjects it will increase frame rate. Link.
/OT

Y20 working fine here so far.

I watched the replay and I just want to say good work everyone involved!

Quote from Speedy Pro :

Great job, Scawen and the team. The menu is really nice, and the replay controls are very helpful. Thanks a billion!

But while we're on the subject of menus, I'm wondering if it's possible to make parameter values in the setups directly editable, rather than controlled by sliders. I.e. if I want a 1.345 ratio for 4th gear, I just click the value and type it in, rather than move the slider, since the latter is not always precise.

Either that, or you can make the whole thing a bit more realistic by specifying a minimum possible increment in adjustments (i.e. the ratios can be changed only by 0.05, instead of 0.001). Perhaps, I'm just nitpicking though

If you want to directly edit a parameter just right click on it and type in the exact value. You can also copy a value with CTRL+right click and paste it by pressing Shift+right click.

Poor Sutil

The updated version with GTR sounds can be found in the first post. The other sounds are mostly the same as in v0.5.
This is not the final version, expect some updates in the future (probably next week).

Quote from lei1634 :

updated yet??? im about to d/l but ill wait for the GTR sounds

Not yet. I had some unexpected (real life) work to do so I only made 2 sounds(XRR and FZR) of 5. I'll release the updated pack tomorrow.

I'm making some progress with GTR sounds. I'll probably upload the first version later today.

Quote from Waffenaffe :

Yep.
but The rest sounds good.I use the XFG and XRG sounds^^
The XFR sounds a bit boring and plastic,try to tune^^

I didn't edit any GTR sounds so far, but I hope today I'll have time to start the work on them.

Quote from Crommi :

Yeah, I saw that video but engines are quite different and XRT's 2.0 seems more like high-tuned engine made for race tracks where Starion's specs look like it would be a pleasure to cruise around.

Starion 2600 GSR-VR
Type 2555cc EFI OHC 4-cyl turbo
Power 130kW @ 5000rpm
Torque 313Nm @ 3000rpm

XRT
Type 2000cc turbocharged inline 4
Power: 183 kW (245bhp) @ 6019 rpm
Torque: 325 Nm (239 lbft) @ 4585 rpm

I saw some other videos where they were showing the 2.0 version of Starion and it wasn't very different(but youtube's quality is not the best). I'm not totally happy with all the sounds either so after this 2-3 days of continous real life work I'll continue the sound editing.

Quote from W1ldPort75 :

Nice sounds , keep it up

Thanks!

Quote from Waffenaffe :

I like them,but i made the FZ5 a bit louder,,,without clippin.

Hmm, it seems I forgot to increase the volume of the FZ5, thanks.

Quote from Crommi :

I'm not too sure how well deep V8'ish tone fits into 4-cyl cars, but I quite liked the LX6 sounds. Also BF1 is improvement over the original just because driving that with default sounds is sure way to get a headache.

Thanks for the feedback! This is a video of a real Starion it's got a pretty deep sound(@2 minutes in the video) but I'm not sure how much they revved the engine.

Not really a bug report, but how can I watch the intro in the current version? I overlooked something I'm sure but I really can't find a way to watch it.

LFS developers doesn't even get your card details, only the money. The only company who handle your card details is Protx, an accredited payment service provider, they handle your data with great security, the page is highly encrypted. As BullHorn says you only have to make sure you don't have any nasty progs running in the background. I bought S1 voucher a few month ago with my card and nothing bad happened .

After a little more testing I found one problem.

Start a replay(I tried it with various Y18 MPR files).
Press Shift-U, set follow car to yes.
Press Space to hide the Shift-U controls.
Click on the timeline to fast forward to a place which isn't visible from the start.

The result is (at least here) that LFS doesn't display all textures in time or at all.

Welcome to Live for Speed S2! Have a good time!

Quote from AndroidXP :

Are the G-forces in F9 view showing in a LED like font something new? I never noticed those before.

That's new in Y19.

To Scawen: No problems here so far, thanks for the patch.

Quote from Scawen :

Strange yes - but routers and firewalls do strange things.

From LFS's viewpoint it's simple. UDP packets arrived and then they did not arrive. Other than that I don't think you can judge anything from the replay. I won't give this any attention or consider this an LFS bug because it is so rare, and there are hundreds of servers running for months without this happening, and we have heard of this kind of thing happening due to windows emulators, routers and firewalls.

OK, thank you for your time, I'll report back if I find any easily reproducable errors.
(edit: if you have a little free time you could try my sound pack)

@wien: I started the host from LFS multiplayer mode.
It would be pretty strange from the firewall to allow the packets normally for an hour or so and then suddenly block them. I had the firewall on a relatively low security mode yesterday anyway and it never blocked LFS traffic for 3 or more years now.

I remembered incorrectly, we had a race after the practice session and after the restart the problem occured two times.
Edit: Is there a way to see what caused the error from the replays?

Quote from Scawen :

It sounds like your host was not receiving UDP packets from the guests. Your host was successfully sending UDP position packets to the guests so they could see you, but it was not receiving them so you could not see the guests and they could not see each other.

Possibly the router was not set to forward UDP packets to your host computer?

I don't have a router ATM, only a software firewall but we played without any problems earlier that day so I don't think it was an error on my side.

Niels! You bastard, if you continue to make so great cars I may have to buy rFactor . Keep up the good work!

Quote from aroX123 :

Looks like a very laggy server

It didn't look like lag and we were on Ventrilo at that time and talked to each other continously so we should have noticed any major lag. If it was lag then we should have at least seen lag meters at the last known location of the cars. Correct me if I'm wrong.

We had a strange bug tonight. I started a host that meets the requirements of a demo host. There were 3 of us on the server: baralaca(demo,Y18), SirKacsa(S2,Y), _--NZ--_[HUN](S2,Y18). After a practice session I've set five laps with /laps=5 then pressed shift-r. The race started and I didn't see the others at all, baralaca and Sirkacsa didn't see each other but they did see me in the race. This happened two times. Here are the replays from the second "race". I only have my own replay from the first race, I've attached it too (y18_bug_0.mpr).

Quote from shashdev :

Yeah, I already have the money. That is no problem at all. It is my parents not letting me buy it. They think that is too much to spend on a game! It really sucks!

Tell them it's not a simple game, it's a serious simulator. Show them this page, LFSWorld, the Instant Hotlap Analyser, discussions about physics on the forum and things like that. LFS is very cheap considering what you get for your money.
