Here it is. Just don't distribute edited versions, please.

I see, thanks for the info.

I read in CamLevel's thread that it forces the camera to look forward, so obviously it's the intended behavior. Therefore, uninstalling FlipCams won't change anything. You could keep it installed and use it when you're not using CamLevel, or your could even define your FlipCams cameras in relation with CamLevel and use them both together (for example you could have one FlipCam "attached" to the front bumper, one inside the car, one on its roof, one on the rear wing, etc.). They all will point forwards, but it's still better than a single cam.

Glad you like it and you RTFM, vicbel.

However, would you mind elaborating a bit on the conflicts you experienced? The way FlipCams works, it shouldn't conflict with anything.

Cheers,

Flip

FlipCam is limited to 5 cameras. But if you wanted more cameras to make a video, you could record the shots you need with those 5 cameras, then quit LFS, backup the folders "data\views" and "data\views_cam*" (where * is a number from 1 to 5), launch LFS, update the five cameras, record the new shots, and when you're done, restore the views* folders from your backup to get your first 5 cameras back.

Of course! Idiots are more likely to pay for something they don't need.

Oh boy! OK, I didn't want to lose my time answering your bullshit point by point, but since you're insisting...

Quote from redexplosion :

Flip you catch a draft on me at the start. You go way into the pit exit zone thats technically off track. You make contact with me. I see you and wonder what you are trying to do out there. I keep driving. You push to get side by side but never really do. You run out of pit exit paved area and you have grass ahead of you. You make a split second desicion to jump back on the track. Your front right tire contacts my back left. You go off. Then ironically you never even think about hitting your brakes until you are into the cone things at pit out. You are still going for it. If you had tried to correct you might not have lost a position at all.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I catch you on the straight because I have a better exit out of the last turn. But you keep your line like I'm not there while approaching turn one. You force me to avoid contact a first time 15 meters before the grass starts:



That's when I get off track for the first time (that is I cross the white line on the left in order to avoid hitting you). Then, instead of giving me some room, so I can avoid the grass, you keep squeezing me to the left, and you even go off track yourself (across the white line and right along the grass) to make sure I stay on the grass.



Of course, once I'm on the grass, thanks to your maneuver, I don't have enough grip to turn the corner and I can't avoid hitting you, which sends me back onto the grass. I don't see what the pit exit has to do with any of that! Then, once I'm on the grass I release the throttle completely but I don't try to brake because that's a sure spin. Note that I decelerate rapidly anyway and there's no way I could even think about taking you on the outside of the right hander. It's only when I hit the tarmac again that I start braking and drift into the pit exit to make sure I give enough room to whoever is coming from behind.



You'll never have me to admit that the fault was mine, here. And obviously, RaceAlliance didn't think so either.

Quote from redexplosion :The fact that you can't look at these incidents that we've had from a purely analytical sense perplexes me.

Oh yeah? Look who's talking! And while you're at it, look at those screenshots one more time, and tell me again that you didn't push me onto the grass!

Quote :In any case, despite your general misgivings I will give you my best attempt at a reasonable explaination. You say that I'm stupid for expecting you to save yourself from a bad situation that you put yourself in. I guess I don't really understand why I would be the stupid one in that equation. You attempt an outside pass that can't work and drive off track in the pit exit area; yet you expect me to react to that lunacy?

Again you're talking complete bullshit! I didn't attempt any outside pass, I attempted an inside pass, which you countered by pushing me onto the grass. Maybe you're dyslexic too? That would explain a lot of things. The only bad situation I put myself into was thinking that I could have a clean race with you. Since the racing had been very fair and clean until you joined, I can't be blamed for assuming that it would remain so. But now I know what to expect from you and I'm not sure I'll take part in the next race. Maybe your behavior on track and here is good for your ego, but mine doesn't need that at all. It's only a loss of time to me.

Quote :I didn't put your wheels in grass and you certainly had more than enough time to realize that your so called pass was doomed.

*sigh* Screenshots.

Quote :As for the most recent race, I thought I gave you enough room to let you pass. I certainly tried.

You gotta be kidding me, here, right? Look at these screenshots!



There's room for six cars on your left, but still you're turning to the right when you should be going straight at best, FFS! Again, this is blocking.

And I didn't even talk about turn 1 on the first lap, where you hit me, causing me to lose 2 positions, when you had lots of room on your right!



I didn't invent any of this and the screenshots are here to prove it. And since I have absolutely no interest in arguing with you (nor even in discussing with you, now that I know you a bit more) I won't say anything else about these events. As I already said, you're not worth my time.

Come on, Stoney, it's not the only thing! The guy thinks it's perfectly acceptable to crash someone in order to keep his position! And the way he justifies his acts demonstrates that he's either stupid (expecting me to jump on the brakes with two wheels on the grass at Blackwood, which would have taken out the both of us) or dishonest (claiming that the bridge is the narrowest part of South City when we all know that there's more than enough room there for two cars).

When you and I are alongside a car, we adapt our line and if needed our speed to take that other car into account and give it room, don't we? But he doesn't. He just keeps his line like he was alone on track, expecting the other car to do all the work to avoid crashing into him. And he's not even smart (or honest) enough to see (or admit) that this is blocking!

If I was driving like he does, I would have crashed him into the wall when he passed me on the outside of T1 in the first lap of the second race. Just imagine we all drove with his standards: no one would finish a race!

This series was fun before that guy came in. There was never any problem, or any report. But now he's spoiling it all. Can't we just get rid of him? It's clear he's not going to change his behavior, so why the f* do we have to cope with this ****?

Quote from mkinnov8 :You shafted me on flip's ridiculous challenge in turn one in which the only possible outcome was flip running wide, and I took that penalty.

WTF are you talking about?! Have you ever watched the replay? You clearly have no idea of what racing is about! In my opinion, your behavior on track and here qualifies you as some lower form of life, not even worth the time it took me to read your bullshit and write this reply.

Quote from Scawen :4) SHIFT + F now has 3 states if you are in a replay (the 3rd state hides everything including all messages and replay controls)

Hi Scawen,

I noticed (in Y24) that this third state didn't hide third party's "buttons" (like LFSRelax's, in my case). I think it would be cool if it did hide those too.

Thank you,

Flip

Quote from wien :It sounds weird because you're moving in a completely unnatural way in SHIFT+U mode. You're flying at great speed and with almost infinite acceleration up to and down from speed. That does not mean it's wrong.

Yeah, I hear what you're saying, but when do people use shift-u? Mostly when making videos, right? And IMO, for that, the old way it sounded was much better than the new one.

It's way too much, IMO. Sounds really weird with BF1's!

Sorry if it's already been reported, I don't have time to read the full thread now, but I just noticed that when you're in shift-u mode, moving the camera (using the arrow keys) changes the sound of the cars in a very weird way. AFAIK, this is new in Y22.
Scripting the F11/F12 settings
FL!P

I think it would be very handy to be able to script setting changes in the F11 and F12 screens.

I mean being able to use commands like:

/fuel_to_add 50 (% of fuel, 0 to 100, and maybe also + and -)
/tyre_change 50 (% of wear, 0 to 90, and maybe also + and -)
/repair_damage yes (yes or no)
/front_tyre slick_r3
/front_left_camber 0.8
/front_left_pressure 1.8
/front_right_camber 0.8
/front_right_pressure 1.8
/front_wing 12
/front_arb 120
etc.

Thoughts?

Quote from Speedy Pro :Unfortunately, I'm not able to alter the headlight cover itself, so I recolored the lightbulbs only.

Well, that's how it's done IRL (or was, when the French were required to use yellow headlights).

Quote from AndroidXP :Not true, on race cars it will show the rear mirror, on road cars it will actually show a rear view.

Ah OK, I missed that. Thank you.

Quote :Errr, you don't have to validate the choice
You simply click on "Steer" in the function list, then for example on "X-axis" in the list of available axes to the right.

Yes, but as long as you don't press return, you can change the same setting by using a different axis. It's only when you press return that your choice is "fixed" (and the help text at the bottom disappears). At least in my experience.

Scawen,

I noticed a couple of things in the Controls screen (FWIW):

1. In the Buttons 2 section you can set a button for triggering the rear view. It can be set, but when you press that button on track, nothing happens. I think that's expected because IIRC you removed the rear view, but then that setting should be removed too.

2. In the Axes/FF section, when you click on some control (like Steer) a help text appears at the bottom of the scren that reads "Select axis for : Steer (ESC - cancel / DEL - none)". But it doesn't say that you have to press Return to validate your choice. Since you have to do it only when setting an axis (not a button or a key), it might be cool to mention it.
