It's not overthinking, rather the vast majority of people overlooking these missing details. You raised some good points.

I actually forgot about Y being the other direction, fair point Dave. Maybe we need Z

Quote from racer autov8 :

Maybe someone suggested something similar already but here's an idea:
Have the extra items on X configurations and don't have them on Y configurations.

This.

The point of 0.5F2 is that the LX8 exists in this version already though, without needing to shoehorn it into a 'more stable patch'.

Probably the latter. The car is fairly unrefined but it's good to have a version of the game available with older layout versions, and the ability to use them online from time to time.

Sorted, thanks!

Still not working for me either.

Coincidentally, I also fancied trying the old Kyoto in 0.5F2 2 days ago and wasn't able to connect to the master server. I thought the master server had been turned off intentionally, so paid it no mind.

I wish you'd have hidden the UI (SHIFT+F) in that last video and sat a bit higher in the grandstand! Kinda funny though.

Wait for Fern Bay progress report

I was about to say. Plenty of rock faces there currently.

Quote from nikopdr :

you won, congratulations

I wish. Boxing day is always busy for me these days.

Did Kappowww win again?

Assumedly those objects only appear on open configurations.

Well then, anyone up for reenacting the multistorey car chase in Tomorrow never Dies when this gets released?

Looks like there's lots still to do but it looks promising!

Merry Christmas Rocky!

On the topic of VR, if you're still on the fence, I did an opinion piece a while ago that might be of interest: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/92074

The bloom effect on the dot matrix is actually fairly realistic, at least for my eyes. I find dot matrices on motorways and on kart tracks at night have quite significant bloom. Maybe I'm overdue an eye test...

It's really simple, if you're passionate about Sim Racing, invest in more sim software until LFS satisfies you again. I've got so much time, effort, blood, sweat and tears invested into LFS that I will always have one eye on threads like these to see how things are progressing because I want it to return to the forefront of Sim Racing. Am I sad that LFS is not developing as quickly as I'd like? Of course I am, who wants to wait years between major updates. Will LFS ever be at the forefront of Sim Racing again? Who knows. But these questions aren't stopping me from enjoying my Sim Racing. It just means that for the past few years I've been putting hours into iRacing instead and returning to LFS for the odd racing series when I feel like it. When the updates come, whether that happens in 12 months or 12 years, people will return, even if it's just to try out the new features. If we experience the spike in activity that the Westhill update brought, I think LFS will do just fine going forward, in its own special way. That's good enough for me.

I wonder how many demo users have ever bought skin credits. Might make for an interesting stat.

Insim controllable LED array color changing track panels would be awesome

I hope that the digi-flags (I think Blackwood is the only track to have them at the moment) will eventually display yellows in a sector, blue and red flags etc.

Looks good!

prepare your eyes for this saturday

Either you have an informant on the inside, or that was just spooky.

Quote from Scawen :

I asked Eric but he doesn't want to show South City screenshots yet.

He's been working on it, changing all the road surfaces and building some ways through that were blocked off before. It's not just the roads but barriers, fences, walls, etc. And many buildings will be updated.

It's a big job but will be worth the wait.

South City is worth waiting for. Go nuts with it Eric! CityDriving has been waiting for this moment for its entire existence!

That's exactly it, and yes it can be annoying sometimes when I send half a sentence by accident.

If you don't want to reassign the space bar, maybe require a press and hold over the OK and Cancel buttons for 500ms. Maybe visualise this with a progress ring around the crosshair.

I wanted to make a thread about being able to customize the mapping for the VR Click (currently space). Every time I'm typing while leaning over my wheel I'm accidentally pressing OK, Cancel or special characters on the "T" text entry window because I'm pressing space to start a new word. To avoid it I have to deliberately look down while typing which is annoying during a situation where you need to focus on the road and type.

I should do that.
