The command /track=AS6 doesnt seem to work. You can specify Aston config 6 in the setup.cfg file though.

InSim packets changed

Just a notice if you suddenly find out your programs dont work anymore:

Note : NODE/LAP - To allow laps up to 2047 to be reported, without increasing the size of
NLP and MCI packets, the next 3 high bits of the current lap are now placed in the highest
3 bits of the Node_Lap_Hi3 member (of NodeLap and CompCar structures).

Look at InSim.txt for more information.

Quote from DEVIL 007 :Hi,

There are like 2-3 thread asking about what time it will be released(CET,GMT,etc).

Thank you for mentioning my post

Btw, this is just the start of it. I think its more time efficient to clean up everything around 3am tomorrow, instead of doing it all day long.

Quote from Becky Rose :Nobody ever remembers Roland Ratzenberger :/. 1994 was an insane year, but yes this is when the plank was introduced. For once all the teams actually agreed on emergency rules in an effort to make the cars less lethal.

I think most people remember him, but the reason why he wasnt mentioned here is (I think) because the ride height of his car did not play a role during his accident.
Senna's accident might have been caused by his car bottoming out. He had probably cold tyres, thus lower tyrepressure, causing lower ride height in the first laps after the safetycar. I know there is also this theory about a breaking steeringshaft, but Im not sure if they ever found out what the real cause was.

So to prevent bottoming out of the cars, they introduced the plank. I believe on some occasions wear greater then 1mm was allowed, because of high curbstones or something...? I think it was Spa.

I think I will take the XRR out for a spin on Aston North, to see how grippy the new tyres really are. The part with 3 hairpins closely after each other should give a good indication.

And about sets: just dig in your archive, I reckon the pre-wing-bug-discovery-setups are good enough for the first few laps.

Maybe he means that the counter is still at 3 days.

Guess that will change this afternoon...

Quote from dawesdust_12 :RALLY PACK!

That should explain it

Blackwood Forest... Mysterious car... rally course prominently center, :hide:

That is actually a very good option, since the normal cars cant do RallyX in under 1 minute either. Its not just the GP track that is close to 1 minute, but also the RallyX track has laptimes close to 1 minute. I guess the Subaru that you can see in one of the splash screens could do it under 1 minute.

In Roman mythology a Genius loci was the protective spirit of a place. It was often depicted as a snake. In contemporary usage, "genius loci" usually refers to a location's distinctive atmosphere, or a "spirit of place", rather than necessarily a guardian spirit.
Usage: "Light reveals the genius loci of a place."
Examples of this can be found at tockenham church somerset where the genius loci is depicted as a statue in the wall of a norman church built of roman material.

A Bug Luck Dr Woo, so Dr Woo luckily found a bug.

Maybe there was a little bug in the tyre physics, and they found it by luck...

Hm, sounds plausible.

I guess Victor can post news, and Tweak does the layout and screenshots.

I think the lamps are just there to enhance the feeling of speed a bit. The more stuff next to the track, the greater the sense of speed.

A little question to Scawen:

There were a few minor issues with the InSim packets (eg. the lapnumber field that was too small). Will that be fixed in the patch too? Im asking it because I dont think it will be a daily update issue..?

What is your programming languages of choice?
I use Java, mostly because it is the language used for several purposes at my university. I guess there are better languages, but at the moment it does the job.

What programming languages do you know?
PHP, Java and I've done some tiny stuff in vB.

What do you use the most as your text editor for programming?
I use Crimson Editor, just as basic as possible. Sometimes I use Eclipse to check the code, but I dont really like programs with 300 windows crammed at your screen, so I use it as less as possible.

What IDE do you use, if any, and if you don't do you have problems with them?
I dont use any, and I dont really understand the last part of the question...?

What is your compiler of choice, for your primary programming language?
Just the sun compiler.

What libarys do you recomend for your primary programming language?
Up till now I got everything done using the libraries that are standard in Java.

Here is a new version that should not do the quick-zooming thing. I also fixed the bug that sometimes you could not go to a certain LFS camera immediatly (e.g. you wanted to get to TV, but the TV button did not respond, so you had to click Arcade first, and then TV to make it work).

I will work on the camera help-tool next week.

Quote from csimpok :Maybe it's just me but the new suspension bars appear to be too thin...

Maybe it means they will break/bend sooner? I'd say that would be a pretty good thing, since at the moment some people just drive straight over the chicane-cut-bumps, whithout any damage.
