Cool, can you send me some?

Disable your virus scanner while installing the update.

Just use the auto updater, you will see all available mirrors there.

As long as you don't want moving suspensions and wheels, such a car shouldn't need more physic calculations than a simple cone. A cone can be hit and move around as well. The only problem would be, that a hit car would disappear after some seconds.

I'm usually driving with my G25. Except when I'm on travel, keyboard is more practicable then, but also some secs slower.

I'm also getting some FPS loss when looking back. It happened e.g. at Kyoto National at the end of the pitlane. The host (STCC) was using a layout, so this could be the cause. Don't know if it's a new problem though.

Quote from Scawen :

But they are not, there is no known bug with them as far as I know.

So is it really realistic, that the GTI and FXO go faster (with less understeer) through a corner if you are on full throttle? I would expect the exact opposite, because of a) the weight transfer to the rear when accelerating and b) the wheels sliding more.

Edit: Yes, I was talking about locked diffs.

Grand Prix 4 already had those real reflections (dynamic environment maps) in 2002. Looked quite nice, but ate a lot of CPU/GPU power.

No, I've used the default boost values for testing. Didn't know that they are supposed to be too loud by default.

Quote from Scawen :

Wind and skid volumes are 33% louder for all settings

I think the wind volume shouldn't be increased in the external (TV) view. It sounds a bit odd, that you hear more wind than road/engine noise from outside. Same goes for the skid volume in the internal (cockpit) view, imo it's too loud now.

I think the main problem is, that people don't test what the FPS difference really is. If you want to check the FPS, you can e.g. use Fraps which will show your average FPS. You can load a replay with the old LFS.exe and the new one and will see exactly if/how the FPS changes.

If you post those average FPS numbers together with your system config it may help to track down the cause. But just saying "LFS runs slower now" doesn't help much.

Quote from Scawen :

Fixed to forward axis is strange yes, I did not know how to write it better. It fixes the follow view to look in the same direction as the car.

What about 'Fixed to car axis'? For me the forward axis is the axis in which the car travels, so the the options should be inverted.

I just got kicked again, this time on South City Town Course.

It's really frustrating to finish in the top three and get a kick as "price".

P.s. I drove the fastest lap in the race and it tells me to practice offline...


Edit: What about setting this script to take the fastest time in the race as reference and not the server pb?

Edit2: The next race all top 4 drivers got kicked. the track is SO5R.

Yes, and a warning that you are only allowed to unlock the game three times.

You don't have to lock your game if you want to play on demo servers. Just click on "demo" in the multiplayer main menu, that's it.

That shows how intelligent LFS really is.

I've played LFS for about 4 1/2 years now and I hope to be able to enjoy it for some decades.

Quote from SamH :

Yep, that's a faulty server record to blame.

Ah, ok. The combo was BL1 with GTI/GT.

P.s. Thanks for the league system btw. It's really fun to drive on your servers (unless you get kicked ). :up:

I just won a race on the STTC New + Bronze server and got kicked immediately.

I guess it's because I've throttle blip on downshift enabled. Of course it's a driving help, but you should consider, that it's much harder to drive with three pedals and manual shifter than with a normal two-pedal config. So in my opinion this help should be allowed. Or am I the only one who cannot heel + toe on the G25 because of the wide space between the pedals?

If you don't allow this help, you should kick all players with mouse and a two pedal wheel as well, because they are using the sequential gearbox driving help.


P.s. The message said "practice offline first". I won the race and drove times around 1.35. There isn't much to improve for me.

The Nürburgring Nordschleife costs about 25.000 Euro. Happy collecting.

Did you try the latest test patch V2? As far as I know it fixed the unlocking problem.

Is this the monthly "when do we get the next patch"-thread?

Just be patient! The recent two patches have both been compatible, so only small things and fixed could be included. I'm pretty sure, that we will get some bigger changes and maybe new game content as well with the next big incompatible patch.

Quote from ORION :

Thats old news...

rfactor -> pitline park
LFS -> intel racing tour (where you can win a BMW M6)

Thanks, I just wanted to point out the same. As far as I know LFS and rFactor did both start to work with Intel at about the same time. So it's not LFS first and rFactor second but both first.

If you click on "Germany" on that page, you will see some nice Live for Speed screenshots.

My votes go for:

Tristan - presenter
SEV - celebrities
Nils Naujoks - the stig
