if you read my first post about this tristan, i said it could be a bug or a feature...

Me saying that it doesn't change with the car class was dumb, poor choice of words.
I meant that if I set a sound for AI1 in a fxo, AI2 in a fxo keeps using the default sound set.
So you have the same car type, but each one sounds different.

Its a great patch, the mirrors rock, and the sound stuttering has dissapeared for me (which is weird because I don't see anything about it in the changelog).
The only bug (or feature) I could find is if I load up a custom sound, it only loads it up for the current car, not for every car of the same class like in patch V.

Could someone confirm that?

Could be a software firewall issue? Because the integrity of the file (checksum) got changed ofcourse because of the patch.

Quote from wsinda :

If you want to know the speed difference, you can set the "Difference with" checkbox. With the crosshair and the Y axis, you can read the amount pretty precisely.

That only tells me how the speed in or decreases relative from the other raf file. I was trying to say that i'd like to see the absolute speed if the crosshair hovers over the line. Right now I can't see my top speed for example.

I got 2 feature requests.

It would be nice to have the values of the Y shown in the status bar. So for example when I compare 2 speed graph's, I'd like to hover the crosshair over the line, and know exactly how fast my car was going.
Right now all I can tell from the graphs is that I'm slower, but I don't know by how much.

Second request would be selecting multiple wheels. Right now I can only select 1 wheel. If you would replace the wheel comboBox with a listBox, users could select multiple selections with the control key.
Maybe it's possible to do the same with the left most comboBox, so people can select both the throttle and brake graphs.

I do love this app, so keep up the good work

It does not work, because they always thinking me create this, this will be best and all others will be crushed. So, 1900 century.

Gather all together, form standard, everyone uses standard, problem solved. There are standards for house building and all accessories, why there is none to computer programs and operating systems?

Computer nerds have bigger ego's?

The absence of a root login is useful for security because if you would accidentally open a trojan, it would have the same user rights as the user who ran the trojan. That would mean the trojan can do every possible thing to your pc.
Even microsoft dropped the idea of that every normal user needs to have admin rights. They now have a security pop up thing asking for your password, like "sudo". Even osX and ubuntu have had that for years.
By doing a root login you are actually removing a layer of security. So if you get exploited some day, don't complain about the OS, complain about the user.

There are also 12 buttons you can use on the shifter which you can use for other things, and 2 paddles behind the wheel which I use for teamspeak(push-to-talk), so there is hardly any shortage of buttons....

I love v8 supercars, and these skins look great

cant wait till this weekend when the season starts

In the 1 and a half years that I've had a mac I only had a spinning beach ball of death once.
And to be honest, the crashed windows on a macbook says more about m$ then apple.

Nice work dude, I like it

You can also download the sirens I use http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=19126

I have 2 sirens there and a program that keeps the horn button pressed + lights flashing if you're into that

wow, thats a sweet router. I think it will seriously help my energy bill (I download a lot in the night)

Does anyone know if there is a way to have it read from rss feeds?

people who doubt the pronunciation of "Live for speed" should stay in school

Quote from Polaxis :

Reminds me of (or at, what's correct?) this video:

Yeah, that's one perfect lap

ripped another vid from a v8 supercar race. This one shows Greg Murphy at work who is a left foot braker (which is rare in v8s) and doesn't use the clutch at all.
This might be useful for people who drive in the higher stcc servers, where throttle blipping has to be done manually.

Does someone know any sites that have v8 supercar races on them? The site where I downloaded the first 4 races from suddenly doesn't have any seeders anymore, and I'd very much like to see the whole 06 seasons before the 07 season starts.

knockback

Great page kaynd, thanks

Yeah, engine vibration was stupid thing to say, seeing as there is a suspension between the engine and brakepads

It can also be partly a confidence thing, just to feel if there is brake pressure. I'm sure that there are some racers who just check that if they had a severe crash because of failing brakes.

But thanks tristan for giving some numbers, so we can kinda visualize it more.

I think it's mainly because there is so much vibration in the front (engine), and some drivers take curbs really aggresively there, that it's plausible that the brake "things" (that clamp against the disc face, me bad english) are not completely in the right position, even if it's only 1/1000th of an inch.
That tiny inperfection needs some time to correct itself again when the driver hits the pedal, which means that the car has a f*cked up brake bias (towards the back) for a short while.

That's why they do this, or this is what I was told.

I ripped this vid of v8 supercars yesterday. It's some onboard of Mark Skaife and the presentator is explaining why Skaife taps his brake pedal before being in the brakezone, something I never understood until a few pages back in this topic.

Quote from Becky Rose :

I hate blue flag hotkeys, unfortunately, i've not yet implemented any system to auto-ban people who use one...

If you make one, can you also include the people who use a "I'm so Sorry BrOtHeR" hotkey after they wrecked someone off the track

Quote from Dajmin :

Except that to people like me, the abbreviated version means very little. I'd prefer the full track name (AS National instead of AS3).

then you should pay more attention to the server you're connecting to


thanks for the tip andy, didn't know it

Yeah, as long as the release stays unmodified and has credits, everyone can host it. I do hope more people will be a cop because it's just way easier with this app, and there is kinda a shortage of cops on TC servers.


Btw, if people here think a different key combination would be better, please tell. I just chose ALT and Shift because I know their location blindly.
