I forgot to say that it happens from time to time and not in every race.
It was the same yesterday, it happened two or three times and only once, for now, today. It's just random

I've just noticed that the LFSW progress window is showing wrong positions for some drivers. Look at the screenshots:

Quote from FL!P :

I just noticed that when you're in shift-u mode, moving the camera (using the arrow keys) changes the sound of the cars in a very weird way. AFAIK, this is new in Y22.

It seems that I'm getting sound distortion very easily now.
I have compared the same replay (18 FBM's at the start of a SO6 race) played with patch Y and patch Y22. The replay was made with patch Y. Default FBM engine sound has been used.

It's obvious that I get sound distortion on Y22 where I get none on Y, watching at the same car and using the same view. I'm not talking about Shift+U mode but about spectator view and on-board view.
I have used the exact same settings in both Y and Y22 as I've copied my whole patch Y folder and then applied patch Y22 over it.



Personal message to FL!P: Brazil!

Quote from Becky Rose :

LFS does need more track content

Indeed.

I would like to see new tracks, and I mean new tracks and not only variations of existing ones, even though there also could be some.

This is especially wanted for the fast cars such as the big GTR's as it's getting boring to do always the same set of tracks, month after month, year after year, in every league.

Like father like son

Quote from AndroidXP :

You have to use the keys that are on the same spot as "," and "." on the German keyboard layout

I did. And just tried again.
No effect at all

Quote from Scawen :

Some new keys have been added :

1) Single frame step : ',' or '.' (SHIFT + ',' or '.' = one second step)

This doesn't work on my french keyboard.
It has simply no effect.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

I'm probably in the minority on this one, but I'm not liking the new shiny rims. Matte FTW!

Aside from that, fantastic patch.

I don't like them much too but it's a small visual detail to me so I'll think I'll get used to it.
However I'm not getting used to the small text size used in the interface now. Everything seems to be lost in the middle of my large screen.
I guess Scawen did it for the setup and language menus but frankly I find it quite irritating especially when there is no option available to set the size I want.

Apart from that I also got more FPS, this is very noticeable on a populated grid. Good job

Quote from evilpimp :

Anyone got another stream? The one posted by AroX seems to have weird sound problems in the background.

It's the same on the official stream anyway, bubbly sound

Quote from motary :

Pardon me, but is there a way to increase font size? Currently it is very small and since I prefer to sit back, my eyes get tired rather quickly.

Yep, I agree and I've already posted about that here.
Not to mention that I don't understand the reason of the decrease of text size as there is plenty of unused space in all menu screens. It might be usefull for the setup screen, but apart from that ?

Quote from felplacerad :

Options -> Display -> Message text size ?

That's for the chat log only. It has no effect on the interface text size and I haven't found any other option for changing the interface text size

I think I'm going to try that soon:

Quote from Linsen :

Or are you saying it was the classical noob-mistake of following the driver in front of him instead of driving "his" line and using "his" braking points? That would be entirely Kimi's fault then.

Yes that's what I think, the classic noob mistake that even the best F1 drivers can do.

Read my post again, I don't blame Sutil and I'm not saying it was Sutil's fault. It's obviously Raikkonen's fault but Sutil's late braking mistake might be an explanation of Raikkonen's fault.
Many huge accidents already happened here in the past. Cars are doing about 300 km/h before the braking point and there is no safe place where to go.

Quote from SamH :

As far as the CTRA is concerned, anyone who is ever seen using a cheat is permanently banned from the CTRA. Once someone has chosen to use a cheat anywhere online, even to just try it out, the CTRA consider that they can no longer ever be trusted.

Same goes for ConeDodgers servers.
Anyone being caught using a cheat online on any server will get a permanent ban from all ConeDodgers servers.

We will also post on the forums replays and LFS usernames of cheaters being caught on our servers.
It doesn't matter if I'll get banned from the LFS forums for 'name and shame', no mercy for cheaters.

Quote from Flame CZE :

Now it's better.

I'm getting old and my eyes are as old as I am

To me it looks like Sutil missed his braking point thus he was a bit too long for the corner. Raikkonen realized it too late and tried to compensate by braking harder but he lost it because of the bumps on the track at this place.

Attached screenshot is showing Sutil countersteering into the corner before being touched by Raikkonen.

Video of the accident:

MPEG2 PS Interlaced

Look closely at the video and you'll see Sutil's mistake.

Notice that I'm not saying it was Sutil's fault. But Sutil did a mistake which is, in my opinion, the cause of Raikkonen's mistake. This is very common in racing, you can even test that in LFS, if you take a corner a bit wide there are 80% of chances that the car just behind you is going to do the same thing. Most of the time people look at the car in front of them instead of looking at the track which is the only reference.

Since I've updated to patch Y20 all the fonts of the interface are smaller than before.
Is this done on purpose ? Is there a way to restore previous size ?

I've updated from patch Y14 to patch Y18, but I've used Y18 only once.
Then I've applied patch Y19 but I've never used it and then applied patch Y20.

And this is what I get (comparison between patch Y14 and patch Y20):

Kaspersky, of course.

It might help

Quote from deggis :

And there was this huge crash:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=52wUHuZ7fqI

Apparently only broken ankle.

The same accident at real speed:

Quote from Clownpaint :

Heiki's crash reminded me of Schumacher at Silverstone in 99, I was quite worried at the time but it sounds like he's alright.

Or Olivier Panis in Montréal 1997:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=X2aC84_kWng
This is captured from an old VHS tape, so the quality is poor.

But he went 'under' the tyres at high speed and broke his two legs in this accident.
So yes, I was worried when I saw that Kovalainen went 'under' the tyres as well.

And again...

Quote from chanoman315 :

Yep, same here. And in-game LFSW commands don't work.
And we are experiencing huge lags on all servers as well.

Edit:
Bah beaten by Victor
But lag is still there...

Edit2:
And in-game LFSW commands still don't work.
