Quote from Racon :I dunno, I think there's something to be said for a preview of the possibilities of objects and layouts. Maybe just the small Blackwood carpark, so they'll always want the extra space of Autocross or Westhill carpark?

I think demo has a few driving school lessons that show some possibilities of autocross layouts.

Quote from Bass-Driver :Its a systemmessage from LFS and i think you cannot hide that message.

I think shift & - hides all systemmessages? But it will hide chat too.

Quote from AfterAll14 :Also when driving in cockpit mode camera is shaking too much. That doesn't help at all to control the car given limited field of fiew. I didn't try advanced camera options yet so maybe it can be fixed.

If you do not like the default camera settings then why do you not change the settings?
If you have problems to figure out the options then just ASK, instead of wording it like a "review"...

Quote from THE WIZARD DK :nice comparison. but pussles me a bit why you didnt just upload the pic here instead of a link ? could have wished to see a little more of the old one. but very nice.

You can move the white slider between old/new image.

I have never used it but there should be a radiochannel/playerlist editor in LFS. Options -> Audio -> Channels (the button at bottom right)



No need for external program.

Nice work, that should make it much more useable.
Cool that the tool even found some "real world use"!

I had win 10 briefly installed to see what it was all about, LFS worked normal. I do not remember doing anything special..
Might be better to look into what your problem is?

Those hardware all seems good enough to run LFS or google earth. Does the card already have extra power-connector and is it connected?

2008 was already towards the very end of windows xp.
Radeon 6000 series was after xp, google says in 2010.

Anyway, I would just google "high end cpu 2008" and similiar.
How much can those parts possibly still cost...

Realistically the limitation will be what you can find used on ebay, because no shop will be selling 10 years old hardware.
Or complete system: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/amd-phenom-ii-x4-955-4x3-2-ghz-6gb-geforce-gtx-280-500gb-windows/885545438-228-5665

Quote :Also why there are different formats for single and multiplayer?

Singleplayer replays are more accurate. The car's movement is saved excactly as it happend, that is important for the hotlap validation. In multiplayer replays the paths of the cars are a bit "compressed", because clients only send their car position a few times per second. (Would be too much traffic to send car position dozen or hundred times per second)
That is smooth enough for online racing but for the hotlap validation it needs to be more accurate, for example to decide if a wall was touched or missed by 1mm.

Most popular usecase for singleplayer replays is probably hotlaps, there you only have a few laps per replay and the slower rewinding does not matter so much.

ps:
There is also this unofficial analyzer for multiplayer races:

In this forum: https://forums.naturalpoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3122 someone posted:
"Okay have played this game some now. That mouse gear shift though utter useless was a funny idea though"
That might confirm Cross Racing Championship 2005.

CRC did definately make it out of demo state however, it was a full game and not too bad for LAN actually when playing with gamepads. It had some special multiplayer modes if I remember correctly, similiar to 1nsane.

I think that happens because in multiplayer replays the car's movement is not stored as precise as in singleplayer.
However the movement of objects is not stored in the replay, instead objects physics are calculated anew every time the replay runs. So when a car's movement is just slightly different than in actual race it will hit the object at different position/speed and the object will then move different, too.
Sometimes if you rewind the replay you get different outcomes for the objects. (also sometimes one is the original behaviour)

By the way thanks for the videos, my LFS computer is still broken, via videos I can at least follow races a bit Smile

After being caught the confession does not mean much. There was already so much proof posted that a confession was not needed anymore to know what he did. Maybe an apology would still have been nice, but it is just "I forgot that I had a cheat installed", the lamest excuse possible.
Why does he only talk to the admins but not one public post to players?
When will he talk to the other leagues where he cheated, too?

Quote from Bila_KHS :South speked to us first and confes about it, explained and sayed that he forgot he forgot that he have that on PC. Thats a better position that caught by us.

Hm, but when did he message you?
In post # #334 you wrote that you are still investigating and have no proof yet. So I assume by then he had not confessed yet. But RC-Maus and expr had already caught him by watching the replay.

Also, nice race video and good commentary. Thumbs up

Quote :However, putting the capacitor in parallel with the computer also puts it in parallel with everything else on the bus, which means it would have to provide power to everything else for 100ms as well.

I think not, the diode you have there should be enough to prevent that.

upload replay and setup, then we can can give you advice.
or upload a hotlap to lfsworld and use the analyzer, you can see exactly where you are slower compared to others.

I only included the guesses within 2018, else there would have been too much empty space:

I doubt Kindle would work for displaying any kind of videogame content because the screens of those ebook readers have very slow refresh rates.

I think it could be similiar to the plates seen on some aircraft wings:

Lift (or downforce) is only generated when the airflow stays attached to the surface. If it deattachs then the wing is "stalled" and no longer works.
Seperating the wing into multiple smaller areas prevents the whole wing stalling at once.

I think many penality options you can program yourself.
That allows biggest flexibility.
For example custom pitstop time:
Insim knows when a pitstop begin&ends, that is all you need to implement it.
Or if you want to force repair ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_flags#Black_flag_with_orange_circle ) that would be possible too, because insim can detect what kind of work was done during a pitstop.
