We were rendering 40 x Maximum (and as Scawen eluded to, over-maximum) cars with an NVidia T4 GPU and look at what that did to the frame rate. The collision mesh of this mod is also extremely detailed and LFS was never designed to cope with that level of detail, especially with such a huge pile-up.
This is the first time we've experienced this level of lock-up in 351 broadcasts, and there's very little anyone (except mod creators) can do to improve the performance. Game engines like UE5 would struggle with this problem. The mod is just far too detailed.
That's because LFS is currently single-threaded. LFS normally waits until you're stationary before loading a skin to avoid issues associated with loading the texture. Hopefully loading cars/skins gets moved to another thread in the proposed multi-threading update.
100% agree. Could that be enforced somehow in the editor?
We (Sim Broadcasts) also noticed some frame drops during our broadcast of round 1 last Sunday. We'll be trialling a new AMD CPU with a 50% higher clock speed for round 2 to try and combat this (3 cheers for AWS
) - Your experience would have been smoother than ours because you were driving, not observing 35 cars at full LOD all at once.

The links in the OP do work, you just need to right click > copy link address. For some reason (in Chrome at least), clicking the links directly does not trigger a download.
EDIT: Those links didn't have HTTPS on, which is why they didn't trigger a download. They work now.
Not sure why the replays aren't in the OP, but here are the broadcast box MPRs in the meantime from our broadcast archive:

No, this patch is incompatible with previous versions.
It was getting pretty frustrating, thanks Vic!

As this is quite a bump, I wonder if there are more logos that need to be refreshed/added.

40 is common, especially for weekly pick-up series.
The pitlane on your proposed new configuration is very small however, so you could leave extra grid slots to the layout editor, as with others.
Very nice.
Tomorrow's broadcast will be available on twitch: https://twitch.tv/simbroadcasts and youtube: https://youtube.com/simbroadcasts/live from 11:45 UTC
I hope this wasn't a serious question.

This is one hell of a piece of kit, and I admire you for sticking at it. Best of luck this year!
I tried the free trial, and yeah, it doesn't work.
As you know, I tried this on Apple silicon, and it didn't work so well with LFS. I'm going to try Dustin's suggestions above.
