I think that is because of a VOB mod.

I saw it occur when an MRT wing mirror became significantly damaged. I saw this error spam chat on CityDriving and had to pitlane the person causing it to stop it happening. I'll try and find the replay/reproduce it. It might happen with other cars too but I can't confirm.

Thanks

Thanks for organising and grats to LLM.

The last couple of hours were really enjoyable to drive. I'm quite surprised that we managed to get back to 2nd place from 6th after all of our time-outs early on!

I'm interested to hear a description of why anyone would want the map rotating. Otherwise I'd just be deliberately coding a mistake.

Obviously, if it really looks dodgy when the new open-config maps rotate, I appreciate your decision to not rotate it. But when it has already been an option in the game for 15 years, a lot of people will have got used to it and will expect it to be an option going forward.

I personally do not use a rotating map but I know that many people in the cruising community use it for the reasons pik_d has just highlighted.

When I used to cruise, I used the rotating map because I was more easily able to discern what the traffic was doing around me, at junctions, roundabouts and just generally on regular roads.

Quote from Scawen :

I deliberately avoided the rotation of the open config map. The individual race track maps do still rotate if the option is selected, and I can see that may be helpful if you want to see the corners ahead of you. But having the open map rotating is quite undesirable and confusing so I thought it would be better not to allow it. Also, without rotation, the map can be made to fit exactly into the available part of the screen. If it was allowed to rotate, some parts might go off the screen or over some text.

A lot of people, especially those in the cruise community, still use map rotation. Since there is still the option to enable/disable map rotation, would it hurt to leave the option available for open configs?

Look like this:

A demo user that made a good suggestion. I've seen it all...

My wheel clamp died so I'm waiting on the delivery of a stand. I won't be there this time.

Yep it does persist between a Q and a R session, also between multiple race sessions. Tested on WE1 offline.

Quote from Scawen :

The rubber resets now take place on these events:

- Exit from in-game
- Start or restart replay

Excellent, thank you.

Does rubber persist between a qualifying and race session too as well as between races? Unable to check at the moment.

Top stuff. When I get a new hard drive I'll stash a copy

I lost this layout years ago, glad you posted this Sin'r. Cheers

I might not be able to attend the next one because it's on the same weekend as the 24hr.

Quote from Racon :

Another thought for skidmarks whilst they're being mentioned: Could we have them persist between races (presumably best handled as a server option). It's purely cosmetic I know, but it makes a big difference IMHO.

On a related note, I've noticed that shift-r on an autocross layout will do a quick spectate and rejoin if there're other cars on track, which leaves skidmarks intact. Shift-r with no cars on track will do a 'proper' restart and remove the skidmarks. Could a restart on an autocross layout do the spec-rejoin regardless of the number of drivers on track as a temporary skidmark-retention measure, if not the above server option?

This is actually a really nice suggestion. +1

Thanks for the update.

Is this going to be released as a stable build soon or is there more to come?

This can't be a bad thing.

Damn you have way too much spare time!

Sad to hear that she passed away. Princess Leia is and will always be one of the best heroines in film history.

How long will the test race be?

The server is passworded. All signed up drivers have been PMd the password.

It's not too late to sign up for FBM@AS2 which takes place tonight at 7pm UTC. 11/40 spaces remaining.
