Enviro-Bear 2000, the realistic simulation of a bear driving a car, has changing gears via mouse.

nice videos and driving Smile XRT is difficult I think, it is so big.

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.

It is not possible to generalize like that.
engine mapping for efficiency is one possibility, Another is optimizing for maximum power without regard to efficiency. Extreme example would be dragsters.
Less extreme, rallye cars:

It depends on the rules of the series how much fuel one can afford to "waste" for what gain in power. F1 cars used to throw flames sometimes, I think because their engines were run so fuel-rich that not all fuel was used. (the limiting factor is how much air gets into the engine, some waste was acceptable if it gave better overall performance)

Quote :I could whip up a program that converted a layout file with a bunch of chalk arrows into a PTH file with a fixed track width if that's any help, but probably not until the weekend

Or maybe something where you just drive the track and it records the line to generate a pth. (Actually I was somewhat certain that having seen that already, but could not find it now)

Not sure if that is what you are looking for, but I made a logger-thing once:
https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/85079

It records cars position, speed and some other stuff. But it is not outsim, so it does not run at 100 Hz physics frequency. Instead it uses MCI packetes a few times per seconde. On other hand it can record multiple cars at once.

I think it needs a .pth that suits the layout because TVdirector uses the track-node-things to see where cars are.
This post links to a zip with .pth files, maybe something useful in there:

hold right mousebutton and move mouse up/down to tilt the view.

I think usually such behaviour is simply two friends who joined a random empty server because they knew no other way to play in private. It is not good to ban them because they would not even know what they did wrong and you just lose two future players.
