Round 5 VOD:

I'll get in on that action. Fire me the repo link when you do, or add me to it please?

I hope they add it. I use Crew Chief in iRacing, and it is fantastic, especially in VR. They have support for a lot of sims, hopefully someone can add some LFS InSim/OutGauge support for it.

I meant to post an announcement about this earlier today, but it was a bit busy and it slipped my mind, but this evening we ran our first broadcast with a number of notable changes:

We of course ran 0.6V with the increased packet rate, which we're very pleased to say gave us a noticeably better viewing experience with 40 cars.

We also ran at the max bitrate to Twitch, from our new AWS EC2 server which will be used for all of our future broadcasts, giving us a much more reliable network connection, and allowing us to stream to YouTube and other platforms in the near future.

The VOD is on Twitch now for you to watch and I'll post the YT reupload here soon: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/934381889

Enjoy! It really is excellent.

Goddamnit LFS, don't make me get another steering wheel just to drive around a bit

Still rocking the T150 after I repeatedly told you to not get a T150?

Quote from CSF :

Add in that Scawen still seems as motivated as ever, and with the current upswing in Sim Racing in general, I expect the first 24h race with day/night to be a very very big event........

Yup. That was our basic, "first thought" motivation for starting SBTV, to be ready for that 24 hour race. We're ready.

I know this doesn't answer everything on the thread.

No, but this is really handy to know and will solve a few of my issues, thanks!

Quote from Gutholz :

Changing brake balance:
Some cars allow to adjust brakebalance/dampers while driving which is very cool.
But it is a bit cumbersome to first open the F11, scroll to correct line with arrow keys, adjust value, close F11 menu.
It would be nice to have some way to just press a button or turn a dial.
(It is somewhat possible via workaround with scripts, like

//move brake balance to front:
/press f11
/press down
/press down
/press left
/press f11

This use-case in particular is why LFS is so great on wheels that have rotary encoders. The DFGT, G29/920 and most TM/Fanatec rims have multi-mode rotary encoders to which you can bind the next/increment/decrement/toggle functions to via LFS scripts. While in truth it is actually easier to bind these in iRacing than in LFS for instance, it's nice that it's still possible, and we're still given full freedom of how we set these up. The way LFS currently works allows you the versatility of being able to assign such encoders to multiple functions, not just one setting (e.g. brake bias). This is akin to iRacing's Blackboxes where a rotary encoder can effectively manipulate every single option with a single wheel control.

In my opinion, a far more useful bind would be one that cycles the F11/F12 menus, again akin to the iRacing blackboxes. In the meantime, that too can be set up with LFS scripts.

Personally, I do not mind the idea of upscaling 1024 skins to 2048, if the price stayed the same.
