I guess Z, since Z is always used as normal axis.

Quote from ajp71 :Maybe a different layout will be made for the last corners, KY GP Longer? I think the current layout should be left in as well, those random difficult to learn corners just add to the challenge, you wouldn't say get rid of the Klostertal at the 'ring just because it's so difficult to get right, or round at all

We dont want to get rid of them because they are hard to master, but just because they are 'bonkers poo', if I may quote someone in this thread. The sudden oversteer somewhere before the last chicane just feels weird and not correct.

Quote from ajp71 :I never actually drove it until recently because KY short was such a let down IMO, but the long circuit is fantastic, wouldn't mind the oval part going, oval infield tracks never work, look at Indy and Rockingham(UK), Daytona is OK but it's more the race that makes it good.

Shame there aren't more servers for it, I haven't tried it in the GTRs but I think this track would be best in the FOX.

I think national is a pretty good track with some nice corners, unseen on other lfs tracks. For example the double apex hairpin (turn 3 and 4), the hairpin just after that and the corner after the fast chicane. That last one has a weird drop, I really like it. Looking forward racing on that track in the Masters of Endurance series.

Wow, that GP long + national is a pretty good config . But please dont put that instead of GP long, just an extra track...

I really like GP long now, except for the chicane exiting the oval part, as mentioned before. I think it should be a really slow chicane, that would provide an extra overtaking spot.

Because alpha code is never released?

I was hoping that someone could guide me into the right direction here.

I am trying to read the NLP packets from Insim, the packets that give information about where a car is on track. But I am having some difficulties converting the info from the packet to normal numbers.

For example:


struct IS_NLP // Node and Lap Packet
{
char NLP [4];

word NumNodes; // total number of nodes in the path
word FinishLine; // the node number of the finish line

byte NumPlayers; // number of players in race
byte Sp1; // spare
byte Sp2; // spare
byte Sp3; // spare

NodeLap Info [28]; // node and lap of each player
};

Then to get the number of nodes in the path:


numNodes = bitFive & 0xff << 8 | bitFour & 0xff;

Which gives a number never bigger then 256 for any of the tracks, most of the times a lot smaller.

Then during a replay, I try to read the current node at what my car is. Then two things happen:

1. The node at the start finish line is not 0 or 1, but that is normal, according to some posts at the old RSC forum.
2. The node-number resets back to zero more then one times in a lap.
Example:


turn node
1 125
2 160
3 205
4 245
5 12
6 75
7 120
8 176
9 231
10 5
11 75

This means that there is no distinct between turn 3 and somewhere halfway turn 8 and 9.

I think the problem is enclosed in the way I convert the packet into a normal number, but maybe it is an LFS-bug?

Arent you afraid of falling backwards? The wheels at the back are pretty much under the seat instead of behind it.

Mind you that its without monitor, so add about 400~500 euro to get a monitor that matches the quality of the PC and you still have a pretty expensive pc.

Quote from Morbias :But this is occuring on every downloaded replay. Am I the only one using this new LFS version (downloaded 05-08-17) with S2_ALPHA_PATCH installed?

Can you beam me up too? I wanna see where the world is 12 years from now.


On topic: maybe you have some sort of mod in your LFS directory? I know some mods like the slickmod in S1 had to be deleted from the LFS dir, to prevent it from running.
Otherwise I guess its a version mismatch.

I think you mean maps like this:



The S1's are on the lfs website, but no S2 tracks yet. I have a few S2 maps in PSD-path format if you want, but only from the longest track configs.

Quote from bobvanvliet :Ah, bus schmus. In Utrecht (Netherlands) we have buses with two hinges :

Fancy getting those around a tight chicane.

Those bus drivers are hero's \o/

Quote from bobvanvliet :I had an idea for the exact same skin today... Not necessary anymore I think .

Here's my FZR, currently the only Rubber Ducky Racing member around, so if you see a multi-coloured streak, its me! I really like my flag and name on the door, think it's a nice detail and reality touch.

I see you have a tudelft logo at the rear wing, what study are you following if I am allowed to ask? Aerospace by any chance?

I like the skin, but I think the 3M logo is a bit out of size and color. Maybe put a nice curvy blue or black logo there?

Render is ok tho
