Quote from DevilDare :So we get to pay to watch Ferrari 1-2's?

On Sky Sports, with commercials, and probably no Martin Brundle

This time I felt it was needed, so I gave it. When Jens O. or Bigtime or Firemike post videos I don't really see things wrong with their stuff, so I don't criticize. Where's the problem?

I use a 360 pad with XBCD drivers, set up all my axis and buttons in the controller settings, but in game nothing works at all. I go back to controller settings and it registers all my inputs, any ideas? I pressed 'k' to cycle through the controller options but none of them made a difference.

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :Lol you are too demanding.

There's nothing wrong with constructive criticism, and there have been some very good videos posted in this section before, why not use those as a benchmark?

Good concept, not as good of an execution, Dennis called it laggy, but it was more like it was difficult for my eyes to focus on things. The cameras were only part of it, the filter made it too dark, and the fading from scene to scene didn't help it either. The first time I closed the tab before the video was half-done, I wanted to see the rest of it so I forced myself to re-watch it.

Also if you're going to focus on a car's livery, a car that is in a league, download the hi-res skin so it looks just that much more polished. There's even a specific thread for it so you should know exactly where to look.

I think you can make good videos, but this one was really rough around the edges. Needs more polish.

Quote from shortay1325 :Weather, like Rain and Lightning. Also a Day-to-Night transition while racing.

Fixed that for you Though of course that's for the "Improvement suggestion" sub-forum.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :"Used to"? I keep seeing that whenever I do some demo racing, when there's no good S2 servers around.

Wow, I figured they'd stop after demo users had to register the same way licensed users did and LFSW started keeping track of their stats.

I've done some demo racing but I don't recall seeing lap times on plates

Quote from theblaze57 :oh yeah sorry.
on the xrg its 2 min 15
fbm is 1 min 58
Those are my fastest cause im not keeping track of all my lap times

What demo users used to do is put their fastest lap time on their license plate That should help you since you do single player more than multi player.

Quote from NightEye :
I did notice the extra small temperature block in the sidewalls. But you mention a large block. Do you mean the brownish block in the middle (the amount of dirt on the tire)?

Would be nice to have brake temperature and brake fading implemented someday.

That black was already in LFS, but much smaller, only as tall as it is wide in Z28. I suppose my Z28 picture isn't great to show it because it's after a long stint so everything is warmed up, the Z30 was just me sliding around to get the temps up.

Or maybe I'm crazy

Quote from Bose321 :Voted for option two. I would love to see this but there are more important things like the VWS and Rockingham.

Same basically. It would be nice to have "new" content in SO, allowing for new configurations, but it's not really at the top of the list. Completely new environments, physics, cars are all more interesting than building on old stuff.

Victor/Scawen - In LFSW "Racer & Host online" and the in game multiplayer server menu can we have the option to filter by whether or not the track is open? Hopefully have 3 options (only open tracks / only regular tracks / both)?

Scawen - I'm curious, what was the reason for the changes to the F9 menu? I do think it looks better with the gray bars separated and a larger block for what I think is the rim temperature (only other possibility, albeit a much more useful one, would be brake temp, but it doesn't get hot enough for that and I don't believe that's modeled in LFS), I just didn't see it in the patch release notes.
Quote from pik_d :I believe there has always been a tiny little block part of the inside sidewall temp indicator that was for the rim temperature, maybe it's just a bit bigger now?

Also the gray bars showing relative g-force load don't touch anymore.

He's right though, Z30 will never contain the new tire physics / Scirocco / Rockingham

LFS Remote gets this when an open layout is used. Still works fine and is quite obvious why it happens but I suppose it's still a bug.

Quote from scipy :Just a question about the F9 menu (since it looks odd): did you show a part of the rim in this update? Cause all the tires look a bit higher-profiled.

I believe there has always been a tiny little block part of the inside sidewall temp indicator that was for the rim temperature, maybe it's just a bit bigger now?

Also the gray bars showing relative g-force load don't touch anymore.

Quote from Crazy_Fox [UA] :Hi all!
May be better to call tracks like ASX, but not AS1X? It seems more logical, because configuration is based on the entire AS, and not based on AS1.

The 1 tells you which pit lane is used though.

Quote from morpha :Eric requested the changes to the engine that allow the open configurations, I think it's safe to assume he's got something.

Well this isn't completely accurate. Eric requested changes to the track editor (as you quoted), but it was Victor requesting changes to Shift+U mode to help with LFS Record that led to open configurations. Final point stands though, Eric is obviously working on stuff, and has been to the point where he found stuff he couldn't do (easily?) with the track editor as it used to be.

Quote from Si Mclaren :Thanks guys

The strange for me, is that im a demo racer but can see S2 servers (cant enter, but can see on list)...

Still going test it

From the list of updates:
