Quote from Zachary Zoomy :

what did they do with the BF1 release?

The viewer was released 3 days before the patch iirc.

Quote from benoityip :

If people use excessive camber to gain speed, it may also show the pitfall of the tyre model in LFS, while I am not an expertise in this area, Gaining lateral grip in corner without losing too much longitunel grip in acc and brake is not quite right. If this is true, real driver will use extremely negative camber for qualifying !! as again, if you have a chance to watch onboard F1 camber, this is not true

Well, don't go to extremes. They have some negative camber in the tires in real life too. The tires are not completely straight. Sure, you lose some straightline grip, but you need grip in the corners too It's all about finding the right compromise. You can also reduce the tyre pressure the get more rubber to the gorund even if the tyres are not perfectly straight.
By the way if you set your camber to 0 in the setup, you will still have some camber depending on the rest of the setup. You can view the live camber in the garage screen when you enable the suspension view.

Quote from Blackout :

No, sorry. That line can be found in previous versions too, been there for quite a bit I think.

0 camber and steering angle set to 13 degrees? That's crazy.
Atleast set some negative camber, then you will have more grip on the corners and then use more steering angle so you can turn more sharply.

Quote from Rotary :

Anyone else noticed this… looks like some big changes to the weather/time of day with it possibly being be dynamic.

I don't know about the dynamic part. But seems like night racing could finally be here.

I am guessing that the auto-clutch only kicks in when shifting gears, not for example when you spin.

I hope that's true. Auto cut and blip really don't make any sense to me. Hopefully keyboard/mouse users will have those disabled too. It's not really that hard to blip / cut the throttle manually anyway, no matter what controller.

Not that different and the car in LFS will probably stay in the 06 form.

Quote from JTbo :

Usually yes, but they did not when clutch pack preload was introduced.

That was a bit different, since most hotlap replays still worked. They only OOSsed if the driver did a reset. With patch Y, probably none of the hotlap replays are compatible.

Quote from Bean0 :

Wonder if there's any chance of an updated CMX viewer before the patch so we can hit the track properly dressed.

I think I said this earlier in this thread, but here it is again: I think we will get the Viewer after the interiors are done, not before.

Quote from sinbad :

I guess they'll reset all of the hotlap charts for Blackwood and South City, and everywhere else if the laptimes will be slower in general. If the new patch laptimes are quicker then they might leave the charts alone and just let people beat the old times?

Aren't all hotlaps reset when there are physics changes? It's not because the laps times would be slower or faster, it's because the hotlap replays have to be compatible with the latest version.

Quote from DevilDare :

and why do we need another thread about the new patch?

Because one or two threads can't handle all the excitement.

Quote from Dajmin :

Bah, you get FWD 3 Series/C-Class too. Maybe not race spec, but definitely standard road-going

There are no FWD BMWs.

Quote from callmebob :

any ideas how this new car is different then the other open wheel cars? cause i thought the fox was always the clone of that kind of class.

Less power and someone pointed out that it doesn't have a diffusor, so less downforce too. But I don't know, it probably is pretty similar in the end. That's just the thing with real life cars, you can't just invent suitable specs, you have to use the real ones.

Quote from ivdimentia :

Hold the phone.......
I am totaly new to this sim....
There are other patches available????
Where???

Patch Y is coming before christmas.
This game has new patches every now and then.

There is only so much you can do to stop crackers. If you take it too far it will start to annoy people who have actuall bought the game and even then someone would still crack it.

Quote from Zachary Zoomy :

I suppose there isn't one for the newest LFS car is there?

Not yet. It will probably be released after the interiors for the new patch are ready and before the patch itself is out.

Quote from BURN :

btw: is there already a new skin viewer so that its possible to make new skins?

It will be probably released after the interiors have been finished.

Quote from Storm_Cloud :

Presumably this slots in beneath the FOX performance wise?

Yeah, it has ~50hp less than the FOX.

It will be in Patch Y.

EDIT: I watched the video = more trampolins.

For me a stock car is an unmodified car.

I am sure there are plenty of other drift servers for you to drift on.

Happy Birthday!

Quote from Scawen :

don't worry the patch is coming soon!

Yay!

It is already in.
