Looks like fraps kills the car radar.

I'd love to know what the S3 cars are, but I have a feeling we won't be told, a) because it's a surprise! And b) in case there are any technical difficulties that mean they can't be put into the game.

It's not too bad - and it's pretty easy in a 4wd car which is specially set up to do it.

G25 bug? What G25 bug? Runs fine here, as has every version of LFS I've ever run. Stable game is very, very stable IMO

S.E.T.H. is right to an extent though, this thread is not about discussion of DOTA 2, or Scirocco etc. This is about the progress made with the Westhill update.

Hires to 4096 actually

It's called shift lock. It's a way of drifting but costs many gearboxes.

Rockingham also has a few rally stages kicking around too, and the skid pan has a hydraulic kick plate which would be great to see simulated in LFS.

I thought it means that it must be a squared number, e.g. 1024, 2048, 4096.

I've had that problem already with a texture (a dashboard/interior for RB4) which was 2000x2000. Simply resize it to 2048 and bingo, it works.

Never trust a Haynes Manual Difficulty Rating. Ever.

Their test track is rated as a 1 spanner yet somehow our driver still managed to stuff a single seater there.

On topic, I still can't wait. Loving the informative Scawen though

At the moment I have LFS CMX Viewer installed alongside my lfs install, i.e. in the LFS folder, and am customising some of the dds textures for the cars (specifically the dash)

At the moment, I have to close and reopen LFS viewer every time I want to check a change.

Is it possible (pretty please!) to have the reload button in the viewer reload the DDS textures as well as the skin?

Thanks

You have no idea how much fun I'm going to have making rally stages on the new westhill.

Oh dear lord, the underlining is not good.

The Patch Test forum is still visible if you go to its URL, despite being hidden. https://www.lfs.net/forum/66

It appears that admin sections/beta sections (if they exist which I assume they do) are not visible. However you can tell there's something there because it throws out a different 404 response (comes up with a blank rather than just redirecting to the main forum)

Nothing that really matters but just something to know.

OutGauge is only sent by user's instance to the app connected to it, so you need to connect to every user so that he can create a proxy which changes this packet

Or just spec every person in turn with OG mode set to 2. The currently selected car's data is output when spectating in OG 2. Don't know if that is much help though.

Hopefully we're back on track for WE now

You call that body roll? That's NOTHING!

He must just REALLY like LFS.

RBR (WRC spec rally car) and SF1 (V10 N/A supercar, 200mph performance)

Oh, and a RWD saloon too, something like an AMG.

I'd like to be able to change the braking effort of the handbrake between cars, for example on the road cars it's a little too strong, almost like a hydraulic handbrake, whilst on the XFR for example it's pretty weak.

It's always been said that LFS IS NOT A SCREENSHOT GENERATOR. And I like it like that - If I wanted to just take screenshots I'd play GT6 or something.

The only real change I'd like to see graphically is that slightly-blue tyre smoke implemented as standard.

It pulls your skins from LFSW - very cool!

Holy cow. This looks great! Fantastic work.

Quote from Yisc[NL] :

There are no actual car models in LFS.

Yes there are!
Raceabout
MRT
FBM
BF1

Furthermore, all the other cars are subtly based on real cars. For example FZ5 is based on a Porsche, obviously the LX cars are caterhams/westfields, the XRG/T/R are versions of the Mitsubishi Starion, the Formula XR is a Formula Renault and so on.

Nothing, NOTHING crashes quite like the RoR Honda Accord.

I think a lot of those features will end up eventually being implemented in BeamNG, but it's a while away yet.
