Graphics :

New reflections system and shaders for cars and buildings
Nearby objects are visible in new dynamic reflections on cars
Option to set number of dynamic reflections in main view and mirror
Misc option to enable a programmable post-processing shader

I suspect your issue is related to these changes.

Quote from dekojester :Reaction from an American just by reading the comments Big grin

Quote from NotAnIllusion :- Some merge and exit lanes and ramps are still far too short.

This is entirely accurate and realistic, as there are MANY entrance and exit ramps in this country which are entirely too short...they were JUST FINE when they were designed................in the 1950s.............

I did not find this to be true in much of New Jersey. The slip roads are fairly long there.

In southwest Pennsylvania, however, particularly around Pittsburgh, they are quite short. It leads to a lot of people stopping at the end of the slip road and being unable to merge for ages. Sometimes stopping is even mandatory, per a stop sign at the end!

Quote from Bose321 :Would love to see this running in a modern release. How about shifting weight for leaning, would that be possible?

It's not absolutely necessary. IRL, it merely helps to generate that little extra lateral acceleration.

Quote from vitaly_m :non-TC FZ5 events

Anyone relying on TC with the FZ5 is going slower than those without anyway.

Quote from Voided :Right.

I'm still waiting on the S3 Pre-Order button. Just -give- me an excuse to fund these guys.

So much for that.

The bars turn the wrong way to initiate a change in lean angle and end up pointed in a direction that would be suitable only for very low speeds.

From the rider's perspective, the g forces you feel on this thing from the bike leaning over to the side are not accurate. On a motorbike, the majority of the cornering acceleration felt by the rider goes straight through the bike's vertical axis, which follows the lean angle, pushing the rider into the seat, not off the bike to the side.

Quote from heson :not aligned with the Bechdel test enough

The Bechdel test is merely one feminist's attempt at highlighting a lack of gender equality in film and other works. It is certainly not an indicator of quality. In fact there are some awful works that pass and amazing ones that don't. Also, no one said it always has to be invoked in every piece of work.

As a feminist critique, it's quite superficial, but at least it gets people talking.

For reference, it states simply that to pass the Bechdel test, the film (or other piece of fiction):
1. must have at least two women in it,
2. who talk to each other,
3. about something besides a man.

And besides, as we all know, Top Gear is a factual program. Wink

I would argue that many of France's policies regarding minorities are anything but PC.

Quote from pasibrzuch :BTW I use all the track too, although offroad suspension for kerb cut in FBM seem weird.

Setups are an exercise in compromise. "Offroad" suspension for curb cutting means the car is probably slower elsewhere.

Quote from cargame.nl :This is not how racing works.. You even blocked the racing line on a few spots. You think the darkened line on the tarmac is there just at random?

I think that was the intent. OP doesn't use all the track, so no one else can either.

This seems... unnecessary. You basically turned Blackwood into a city track, with all the increased risk of carnage a lack of runoff entails.

I can only assume you made this because you're mad at some people for doing things you're not willing to do to go faster.

Posting a replay and set would be helpful, but generally I solve turn-in oversteer by adding front compression damping.

Quote from Racer Y :
Quote from Matrixi :Got a really bad desire for a 1000cc supersports though, feeling around for a Repsol 06-07 Fireblade near my area.

Rode my brother's beemer...1000r (R?) I dunno. Just can't get over the feeling of flying over the handlebars when braking. It's ok if you like crotch rockets. Personally, I would stick with Rice burners. But I'm prejudiced towards Japanese Bikes. The beemer is as overengineered as their cars are.
i don't know if this is common with sport bikes, but it has braking like what the newer Goldwings do. You can activate the back brake with the lever too. A bunch of computer crap. Three traction control settings. I imagine it's a real pain to work on. It's got pretty good response and is very agile. But not really my style of bike. He's selling it, if you're interested.......

I had a set of Stompgrips on my SV so I could hug the tank with my legs under braking and put minimal weight on the bars. You can do it without the Stompgrips, you just have to squeeze harder. If you feel like you're flying over the bars under braking, you may not be sitting up enough.

A lot of newer bikes have ABS, and I think maybe because of that they also tend to have linked brakes.

Also, I think Matrixi is on a different continent...

I'm sure you'll find answers to most if not all of these questions if you search through Scawen's post history.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :Well, I'm pretty sure that 95% of people who have purchased iRacing through Steam were existing brainwashed iRacing fanboys who wanted to spam "THIS IS GREAT" reviews to deceive people.

Even to someone who doesn't particularly care for iRacing, that's some laughable tin foil hat-level rubbish you're spouting.

Look at the majority of the reviews.

If they're a fan, they're not exactly deceiving anyone by talking about how much they love the game.

Unless you mean to say they actually hate it, which completely contradicts calling them fans, and is like...

Quote from cargame.nl :Worse then this is not really possible. So if Iracing can use Steam as propaganda then LFS maybe could do it too but nobody has any idea what going on 'underneath the hood'. Maybe Iracing is paying for this way of advertising. It's unclear what demands Steam/Valve have of gamedevs, they want money, I guess.

iRacing is on Steam.

But I agree the hyper-focus on "real" cars and tracks as the hallmark of a good sim is baffling.
