Quote from Bose321 :

Old people here

An event around xmas would be fun! I haven't touched any of my wheels for years, but I would like a friendly race with people that suck at racing like me.

This week some time, or next week? I'm up for hosting something. Maybe a stream too?

This event will be streamed live on https://twitch.tv/simbroadcasts

We are live for the 6 hours of Aston North: https://twitch.tv/simbroadcasts

Quote from Racon :

Cheers Pete! Works a charm - another I must've missed that one moment for my collection

Don't worry, after I posted my feature request, Mandula reminded me about this feature, I forgot it also hid chat messages.

Quote from Racon :

I'd love a 'capture mode' with a hotkey that would just toggle every overlay - nothing on screen but the action.

Pressing SHIFT+F twice (or three times?) does this as far as I know.

Very nice. Congratulations to Rony for another successful year, to the prize winners and thanks also to WCL and Jari for sponsoring these series.

In a future version I would like to be able to disable chat in replays (without hiding the UI as well) and for the online functionality to persist into the lobby screen:

Use cases:

• While broadcasting, sometimes a session changes from the lobby to track and vice-versa and chat messages are re-enabled, and require muting again. This is a problem for several reasons:
  • Sometimes with few cars on track, it is difficult to mute the chat and bring the game scene up before the lights go out.
    
  • Choreographing chat muting between sessions is a pain sometimes, often leading to profane chat messages being shown to the audience.
    
  • If a session ends, the chat sound plays because chat is unblocked automatically and that can sometimes end up being broadcasted also.
    
• A more general use-case might be for people who make LFS videos. Muting chat in replays would make that easier I'd expect (Without having to hide the UI too with SHIFT+F).
  

Feature requests:

• Disable chat in both single and multi-player replays (without hiding the UI).
  
• Allow chat mute in the online lobby screen and let it persist between the lobby and track sessions and vice versa.
  

Possible implementation:

Add a third 'blocked messages' mode to persist chat muting between track<->lobby screens.

I would appreciate it if you would consider adding this to a future version. Thank you.

Both the E-Challenge and the 2nd round of the BF1 League, live on Sim Broadcasts:

Saturday 12th December at 16:00-18:30 UTC: MRc E-Challenge
Sunday 13th December at 14:15-16:15 UTC: MRc BF1 League Round 2

Tune in live at https://twitch.tv/simbroadcasts

You can try the following:

Options -> Misc -> Analogue Steer Smooth: 0.95
Options -> Controls -> Wheel turn: 90 degrees
Options -> Controls -> Wheel turn compensation: 1.00

This should give you a very smooth steering input and no jerkiness or full-lock problems with small inputs.

Let me know how you get on.

~ Pete

Thanks!

Checked yesterday, this has not been resolved yet.

It would need a patch.
