1-3 ok, but there are more impotrant things for PRO mode than annoying repair rules (4-..). Just make repair times longer (more real) and let choose driver (F12) what kind of damage repair and what not.
I want to
- disable TAB when driving! (should be allowed only in spectate mode or between sessions)
- disable F9 and F10 for other cars than yours
etc ...

EDIT: 2Vain @ public race
if Im noob and want to practicing, Ill not join PRO server! this is for people who want clean (like league) races but without wainting 2 weeks for their next league

What about some signs near by each name:
"=" car is close to another (distance defined in cfg)
"@" car is in spin
it can help in multiplayer races where you must react quicly

Quote from Frankmd :

The way the camera's are choosen and managed is the next thing to update indeed. I would really like to have other camera's at the end of the race then mid-race as well

Great. I'm looking forward to next versions.

About zoom in and out: left click on driver1, right click on driver2, right click on driver1, left click on driver2

OK, its running now.. I didnt know that I must export files from .jar
Small bugs:
- if focused on two cars and then to one car only, camera is zomming in and out in cycles.. Focusing on two cars again fix this (edit: probably known issue)
- you cannot ESC from replay when noobTV in CustomExternal

Suggestion: add combobox with all defined custom cameras and button "Fixed CustomExternal" -> should stay at place and not follow any car.
Option for skip some cam in cams.txt in standard CustomExternal mode would be nice -> I can define finish line cam and use it only in the end of race by selecting it from combo.
(sorry for my english)

Ive problem: I got only blank window with noobTV title.. but when i clicked somewhere in the window, I was able to switch cameras, but I dont know where buttons are

Quote from Madman_CZ :

id quite like to see the replay controls they used in ea f1 99-02. Hva ethe replay timeline load up and just scroll along it back and forth to view the replay....

Stepless rewind isnt possible because of way how replay data is interpreted. But 30s steps are relatively "easy" to do.

I hope there will be rewind possibility in new patch. It can be done thru "keyframes" every 30sec or so. If not, we'll wait next year or longer for next physics update => next possibility to change spr/mpr format for rewind support
It's annoying to judge accident in long races now..

Quote from PLAYLIFE :

nooo... I wait enough inbetween races... now we have to do a parade lap also ?? illepall On BL_1 it would be what 3 min? How long would it be on AS GP?? 7-8 min ?? illepall illepall

Do you know what "option" is?
IMO for league races good idea We have two starts in each race, lag start (1/2 lap for texture loading) and proper start. Parade lap can "solve" this and with little adjustment (green lights after first lap) you have rolling start implemented too

Quote from PerG :

but what it will make we dont know now and i think if it will be way to worst racing, there will be another patch which will make it different again like this month

physics update = need for deleting all hotlaps => i dont think there will be any other physics updates in near future to balance cars again..

The same happened to me today..

Quote from Chaos :

I don't say make them exactly equal, this is virtually impossible, but now there is not a single track (oval doesn't count) where the rwd IS faster... it's all fwd ownage and that is just not right...

Agree.. and problem is, if next patch will be final physics update for S2 stage without possibility to test it before, maybe this fwd ownage will be there for next year too

Quote from eraser_svk :

I think weaked FXO about 5HP and only open diff on it will make it eqal to XRT...

And what about RB4? IMO cars in 1 class should have similar diff constraints..
-?5?hp yes, only open diff no

Quote from keiran :

The problem is I doubt anyone in this community could afford a license to create a track. The big companys like EA and Codemasters are the competition in the bidding for the license

Keiran

Yes and no. Many tracks owners can give licence (if the sim is perfect as LFS is) for free as promotion of their track. I think czech comunity is probably able to have licence for Most http://www.autodrom-most.cz/eng/index.php

What do you think about this:
anyone who want create some real track would have to have permission/licence from track owners and real track data. With this, he'll get tools from developers. After devs approval (and digital signature) track can be downloaded and used in MP.
Fantasy track could make only devs.

Sorry for my english.

Quote from sgt.flippy :

When I look at those two pics, I like the one without haze a lot better. With the haze on, the city in the background looks like it's glued on.

problem with comparing these pics is different FOV, but i agree, haze efect is too intensive, could be depressed to 1/2

Quote from Jeddix :

Try changing the "Screen width affects LOD"-option to "Yes" and the simple wheels should be gone.

Really? In that case this is "bug". If I have LOD set to max, why wheels are octagonal and why some option (Screen width affects LOD) can make LOD "bigger" than 1?

OK! NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GS

But please, make some buttons for pre-defined graphics settings (Weak PC / Mid PC / Powerful PC) or button for benchmark -> measure fps -> set graphics. I have many friends which dont understand all these sliders and options. They have very powerful PCs and "ugly" LFS, because of low default graphics settings.

I think that quicker time is because of lower centre of gravity of flattened car.

Superb

Congratulations!

Not many, 66. I havent autosave ON, I save only very interesting fights or my league events.
MPR we are talking about is downloaded from net.

No, there are 10 players in .mpr, no AI. I thought only 2 players can play together on LAN with the same lfsw name but Im not sure

I found .mpr (v0.5P) where all players have the same lfsw name. If some of the developers interested, contact me.

Quote from Don :

- zoom in/out where i could control how much it zooms (lower than 12° that is currently available would be nice) and also the speed of zoom (currently there are 3 speeds, but thats not enough...the fastest speed isnt fast enough and the slowest speed isnt slow enough)

what about control zoom speed throught pedals? brake - zoom out, throttle - zoom in
you can haveany speed between 0 and defined max

Suggestion for future versions:
camera parameter for amount of shaking when car is moving fast and close
camera parameter for amount of shaking in low FOV (big zoom)
(0 - 100 for example; 0 without this efect)
