Allow connections from 127.0.0.1 and ::1 without a password. What about linux servers running multiple hosts on a single machine? If I were on the same VHOST as another server wouldn't I be able to commandeer their server.

Quote from Scawen :

...Then I'll get on with the track shaders that can help Eric with the initial S3 tracks...

do not hesitate to share some screenshots of these 'intial S3 tracks' when you think they can be shown to public eyes

That would be a terrible idea, the community would eat them alive. (But, I'd still like to see it.) Also, I'd still be happy to pay for S3 right now. Considing the amount of joy S2 bought me, I feel like I owe you guys more money.

Quote from three_jump :

Am I really the only one who thinks that W10 is a horrible POS?
Different font sizes every where, different dialog box styles, two different control panels featuring the same and different settings.
No visual difference between title and menu bar which really does the trick with drag and dropping windows. Some Apps can't be uninstalled, some now come with adverts and some have a uninstall option which does nothing.

You're the kind of guy who remembers shops by whether or not they have a terrible kerning, aren't ya?

Is this by design, or am I just blind?

Regarding Live For Speed compatibility as well as DX12, an oculus rift support is Windows 10 a supported platform for Live For Speed, even if that is in DX9 mode? I have the upgrade, I just haven't pulled the trigger. Scawen are you upgrading, considering that you have Windows 7 and it's a free upgrade?

That's an excellent idea!

Quote from cargame.nl :

Hhmm I found a pretty serious bug.. No idea why nobody/me found it before but;

This seems to work though.

I wrote a todo in my lines of code somewhere that I needed to fix that. It's not too bad as not all plugins get the Connection Leave packet.

Quote from Scawen :

I am actually interested in releasing a track editor and providing a system to automatically download track updates when the creator updates their track and textures. I think the download would be a low priced paid service (like premium skins) even if the tracks are free (paid tracks are another thing entirely). But this is absolutely impossible to supply to S2 licensed users, unless we want to discard any possibility of making money. So it would have to be an S3 thing. This type of possibility is one of the reasons why Eric and I are working hard to get to the S3 license, because it will allow us to produce and release cool things for S3 licensed users.

That's amazing! I'm 100% for this, please do!

PlayerIDs and ClientIDs are sent by the server and the same on all clients.

Quote from Scawen :

It is metres times 65536. The high 16 bits are the whole metres and the low 16 bits are the sub-metres. So the smallest possible increment in position is 1/65536 m (around 1/66 of a mm). This notation can represent values from -32768 to 32768 m.

You can literally fit an entire city in that space. At what point does the engine say "no more, please!" and crash? I've LOVE to fit my entire city from Google Maps export into that space. It'd be fantastic for driver training with an Oculus Rift. Have people "respond" to calls within the game, have to use the real street directions. I'd really love to work on this ... I just need a little more information from you Scawen on the circuit format. .

PHP 7.0.0 Alpha 1 has been released. Time too blow of the PRISM codebase again and upgrade it too all the new hotness.

There has been a lot of PHP7's features I've been drolling over for quite some time. I keep myself up to date on the progress on it with their RFC page as it shows what's going to be in the next version of PHP. I mainly can't wait until I can implement just the parts of modules that I need for plugins. That's going to be awesome.

Well, I'm officially impressed and jealous that you figured that out.

Quote from BlueWind :

We made some progress actually. Yesterday we had a online conversation with Bose and figured out how to manage all of this so now it's all in Bose's hands. The layout is almost done.

Wow, that's an interesting way to handle that. Love the idea!

That's awesome and finally! A request that is more than "I want this! GIVE ME NOW!" This is how you ask for an InSim application people. Know what you want, ask for exactly what you want, and maybe, just maybe you'll get it.

I've not had that issue using wine on the Mac, the last time I used wine on Linux I had a simmilar problem and it was due to an older driver that was hanging up every now and again. So check your driver stack first.

You should also post your hardware specs and the drivers that you are using for your sound card and video card.

Quote from Yisc[NL] :

PRISM is too complicated for me and it's lacking useful explanations and documented examples.

Tell me what you need help with and I'll start posting guides.

Rift DK2

I'm pretty sure that the LFS servers are running Debian. You'd have too SSH into it, and I doubt that's an option.

Airio is by far the most popular InSim application. Although, I would expect to be less and less with each update as the InSim protocol gets updated and Airio falls further and further behind.

Ambulance 293


Flycar 2999 (Under Snow)

The last ambulance we purchased, back in early 2014, the company that designed it made a 3D model of it. They told me that they were unwilling to part with their creation, but I think I might be able to persuade them. Can't same the same for the Fly Car tho. That's pretty much a stock 2015 Chevy Tahoe Police Package with a metric shit ton of lights on it. (You'd be surprised how many people still don't know to move over.)

For those of you who don't know, I'm the Chief of Operations for an ambulance corps. One of the areas of intense focus for myself and the whole department is safety of the providers and pedestrians enroute to a call. As such, we spent quite a lot of time ensuring that anyone who wishes to become a MVO (Motor Vehicle Operator) for the department has gone through a rigorous training program before being allowed to hit the road. Our training program currently lines up like this:

1. Module 1: Classroom Training - Driver Training Lecture (~4 Hours)
   
2. Module 2: Non-Emergency Driving - Non-Emergency Driver Training in Ambulances (At Least 10 Hours)
   
3. Module 3: Road Course - Certified Emergency Vehicle Operator Course (CEVO) / Emergency Vehicle Operator Course (EVOC) Practical (~6 Hours)
   
4. Module 4: Map, Radio & Siren. - Exam. (~6 Hours)
   
5. Module 5: Parking Practical & Radio Test. (~6 Hours)
   
6. Module 6: Emergency Driving - At Least 5 Supervised Emergency Calls (At least 5 hours).

I just ordered a DK2 and want to train people before they even get into any of the department vehicles on vehicle control. The best way to do that is too send them to race school just like the local police department sends their highway patrol guys too Skip Barber Racing School. But seeing as we don't have that much money, spending some on the DK2 (~$350) and a racing wheel (~$299 - $1500) I should be able to get close too the same effect.

What I would REALLY love is to have Wantagh and Levittown's Fire District loaded into a map on Live For Speed. I was wondering if we (WLVAC) and the devs for Live For Speed would be willing too collaborate on this project. There is a very large health system that just spent over a million dollars on a vehicle training simulator that doesn't even come close too the level of detail that LFS could with the DK2 and an ECCI racing wheel. I'd like to do a better job then them, at a percent of their price.

We are talking about recreating about 6 square miles within Live For Speed as an extra map. I was thinking of taking information from Google Maps (or Open Map Project) and converting it over too the map format that LFS uses. Then I'd just need to make an InSim App to notify the driver on what road they are on. I would like to also place homes onto this area, so we could run mock calls too these places. We'd have them start for HQ and "respond" too the call location all within the Live For Speed environment. Seeing the progress made in 0.6H has really inspired me into this path.

Tend to agree, along with the old button manager starting to throw deprecation warnings to be remove in 0.5.0.

• Commands are no longer case sensitive(Let me know if you disagree with this change)
  

I'd go so far as to say that you just fixed a bug on that one. Command case sensitivity does not really work in practice.
