I work a lot in blender and this is a good topology for such a number of polys. Great work! I hope this mod will be public!

I found the problem, it's on my part, sorry.
I found this -

it says "you don't have internet access, protected" or something like that, but actually I have internet, i watched YouTube and everything works fine and I didn't even notice any difference until I went in LFS, the thing is that today I had to pay for internet and my ISP makes this icon, and when I change the internet connection access point in the tray (I have 2) it redirects me to the payment page. (maybe the same redirects were in LFS)
Once I paid the bill and after an hour the icon changed to that, and LFS worked fine.

I sorry for wasting your time.

Event list not working, mod list not working, but servers is working, when I go to the Just a Ride server, everyone has transparent cars except for a few mod cars.. what is going on?

I like to watch YouTube on english as there is a lot of interesting content, and I think it is a great loss for those who do not know English. But sometimes there is also the opposite situation when there is very interesting content for example in Russian, but English-speaking viewers for obvious reasons do not watch it.

Despite this I want to recommend Igor Negoda's channel to any fans of homemade things, but this is a professional in engineering, and his work is functional and accurate. Watching his videos gives a nice satisfaction to your inner perfectionist. Its on Russian but the automatic translation of subtitles is already good enough to get the essence of what's going on. And he has a quality translation of the subtitles on the early videos.

For example, he makes his own jet engines, airplanes, and even a real formula race car. And by he makes a Formula race car, I mean he makes almost all the elements and components of the car himself in his garage, even the some bolts. (Except for the engine, brakes, the suspension struts, and some other small things) He has been making this race car for over two years now, and he shows in detail almost every step of this race car production. Video playlist of making racing car - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyyfwUFI3XU-1cTSorq_02e9VyLCRBO1e

He hasn't finished his project yet, but it's already very interesting to watch in progress. Supporting elements made of aluminum. Fasteners, hub wheels and some other small things made of titanium. Suspension arms, seat, monocoque and other body parts made of carbon fiber.

Anyway I think this is interesting and quality content to watch for fans of such engineering creations. And thats unfortunate that he's only known in our country and not to Western audiences.

It's funny that at that time Putin came out to the orchestra at an event in honor of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Battle of Kursk, congratulating the citizens on this event.

Many people know that among the people Prigozhin's group was called "musicians" and "orchestra" and this battalion is named after the German composer of the 19th century Wilhelm Richard Wagner.

so we can see a different meaning in Putin's actions. Also, today is exactly two month after Prigozhin's mutiny.

I bet Prigozhin is dead.

UPD: Yes, it's been confirmed, the bodies have been identified, Evgeny Prigozhin is dead.

Еvgeny Prigozhin's business jet with registration number RA-02795 crashed in Tver region, witnesses report work of air defense forces, "2 explosions were heard in the air"
There are already several sources who reported that Evgeny Prigozhin was on board.



Usual Russian policy.
Putin said that he does not forgive traitors.



UPD: But there another Еvgeny Prigozhin business jet of Embraer ERJ-135BJ «Legacy 650» flew out of the capital following the one that crashed, but after reporting the crash in the Tver region changed course and is currently circling over Moscow

Prigozhin's death has not been confirmed yet - Readovka

Sources of the publication can not confirm that Еvgeny Prigozhin died in the plane crash near Tver. There is also no information about the death of PMC commander Dmitri Utkin. He allegedly flew in the same business jet.

According to the interlocutors of the publication, earlier the businessman has not once registered for one flight, but flew in the end on another.
Earlier it turned out that the second Prirozhin's plane had turned around and was circling over Moscow.
At the same time, Fontanka claims that Prigozhin's entourage cannot reach him.

Prigozhin actually flew to Russia from Africa today, with the entire command staff of the Wagner PMC with him, writes journalist Andrei Zakharov.
According to him, sources told him: "It will be a miracle if he is on another plane."

Quote from Kuba_m :

Hi after long break, I follow LFS almost from the beginning sa I'm rather a veteran when it comes to it. So maybe someone or even Scawen in the flesh can help me with 2 questions.

Good questions. But in my opinion the problem with tires is not that it's hard to control the temperature, but that the grip drops too quickly as the temperature increases. I have given this example before, but I see it roughly like the graph for road tyres, for sports tyres the situation is even worse.
I hope the situation will change for the better after the update, but we don't have any concrete information about it yet. As I understand it Scawen is still in the process of testing the new physics and some things may change.

About multitrading as I understood it was talking about more than 2 threads for some parts of code, and some others parts will use only two threads. But maybe I remember it wrong.

Maybe not all English speaking players understand what we mean by illegal drift event. We've been running events like this for a few years now, and they exist just to get the fun without the long wait for qualification of all players. An illegal drift event is just a small drift event without qualification and without 3 judges as it usually happens. It's just a small, frivolous event for fun. As an exception we announced first event a few days in advance, usually such events are announced a few hours in advance.

If you have any questions, suggestions, or requests for this event, post here.

Quote from NENE87 :

Maybe allow to choose rims at garage?

It's a highly anticipated feature. I think it makes sense to make configurations available for the spoke editor too if it doesn't take too long to develop. It is important for many people to have a choice in rims. Otherwise they will be use the workarounds with hub object for this, cuz hub object can be puted in configurations.

Added number for events in separate configuration. Added some small things in interior. And change some mappings in interior.

Changed lod 2 for better shadows, added welding on rollcage, changed some interior mappings.

Same problem. "You already have an in-game host running" but i dont have host running

Quote from Viperakecske :

One of my favourite mod,nice

Thank you, nice to hear that from one of the top racers in the lfs!

That is what I wanted! Looks great! Now the wheels will be more beautiful, thanks for the work!

Quote from Flame CZE :

These translations have been there for ages, no surprise there.

Well, yes, but since we're talking about an update in tyre physics and wheels update, maybe it's about time those names in translations files became a reality? No? And if its true, then maybe something else must follow from these names "3a_tt_racew"

Quote from Scawen :

I've been working hard on updates for wheels

Given the way the mod system was made, I realise that Sсawen likes to give us unexpected surprises. But I'm still very curious what it's going to be? I already understood from the translation files that it will be new tyre types. But maybe something else? For example treadwear? Or will it be a surprise until the test patch? 😉

3g_tt_sl_r1
3g_tt_sl_r2
3g_tt_sl_r3
3g_tt_sl_r4
3g_tt_slk_s
3g_tt_slk_m
3g_tt_slk_h
3a_tt_races
3a_tt_raceg
3a_tt_racei
3a_tt_racew
3a_tt_roads
3a_tt_roadn
3a_tt_hybri
3a_tt_knobb

And there is interesting "3a_tt_racew" is it a wet tyre? Are we in for a change in the weather? Or am I theorising too much?

Vehicle class changed to GT

Im wondering what changes when i changed vehicle class from saloon to gt?
I test it and i dint noticed any changes, i hope its good.

probably need to change N.400S gt4 too

Quote from Flame CZE :

I believe the vehicle class of this should be "GT", not "Saloon car".

Vehicle class changed to GT
Added welding to rollcage for better pov

I lowered the center of gravity 5 centimeters lower, it should be better now, and i fixed mapping with that rectangle

Quote from johneysvk :

After trying it in a couple of races, last weekend, the car seems extremely easy to roll, especially after contact, do you have any idea why that might be?

maybe CoG too high or something of that nature? i can dig up some examples later if you'd like


also unrelated, but on the visual sidd of things, there's a weird rectangle on the underside of the body that has some of the skin mapping and the tow strap changing sides based on driver side feels a bit odd.

very enjoyable mod otherwise!

I'll try to test it when I get a chance and can you send a screenshot of that rectangle?

Quote from Avraham Vandezwin :

Everyone wants to race their favorite tracks with LFS. The important thing is not the name or the decor, but the quality of the track.

If Scawen's tool makes it possible to create tracks from the 3D layout of the track and to automatically generate predefined environments, things can go very quickly.

Techland did something like this with the Chrome Engine in 2006 for Xpand Rally. It was quite intuitive and it worked well for the time.
Something like that would be fantastic for a game that has the qualities of LFS and we would have quickly new realistic tracks. If with the tool modders are forced to model everything, it can take a lot of time for a quality that will not always be very good.

Sounds too complicated and unnecessary. It will only slow down the development of the trackeditor system. I think the trackeditor should be done like the mod system. And trackeditor already exists just it is not public and it is used only by Eric. The rating and approve system makes it clear enough that we need beautiful and quality mods\tracks.

If we have people in the community who are able to fully model and texture the car so that it looks realistic and beautiful, that should be enough to model and texture a good track. It will probably take more time, but it should not be more difficult.

Quote from gu3st :

I think it'll be a long time before we ever get realistic tracks with the track editor. Most mod tracks in other sims are just rips from other games which likely won't fly here.

Maybe, but I wonder how copyright and licensing extends to tracks? They're not brand names of cars that are manufactured and sold. That's a completely different matter. Like maybe we're allowed to use actual track names? Who would be against that? It's extra publicity for the track owners. Why not?

Quote from ivo_drifta :

I'm sure there is a way we can help. Or working with you, helping with textures, modelling or something else?

I've been thinking about this for a long time, as I've been working as an industrial designer for a long time and modeling a lot. And I would be happy to offer my help on a non-reimbursable basis. But perhaps it may be problematic for developers, because they will not have authorship of the models or confidence in the authorship of the models of helpers. Roughly speaking they are not responsible for other people as they are not contractually bound to them. Or is that not important?
Although it is possible to put models on publicly available resources with GNU license for example, and with authorship verification for example through modeling on live streams. I, for example, did streams for modeling of my mods, it's not hard for me.
In general, if there is a possibility I could help with modeling and texturing without any demand for benefits.
