The mystery seems to be solved.

After reading the post of breadfan (thnx!) I tried to stuck the car in a similar place, and noticed the big rear diffuser of XRR.

So, it touched the highest part of the piano and I got a similar situation to the showed in my first post. This reaction force is not shown so I got confused.

Thanks for your help!!
And to the developers.... Probably THIS IS NOT A BUG!!

Quote from breadfan :

Did you use some unusual setup? Extra low or something? The car might have got stuck on the curb with only the front left wheel touching the ground.

Hi breadfan!

No. It's a medium height setup, hard springs (150 kN/m).
I'm surprised because no other vertical force is shown... maybe bottom touching is not show... so there mus be another force....

Maybe... you are right...

I'm not able to reproduce it 8-( in 0.5Zp15. It seems that en position of the car is important. In 0.5Z I'm trying now to reproduce it, ...

raftor

Well, I'm running 0.5Z15, a XRR at bl1.
After stopping the car I got stuck on the road. Wheels have very little grip (I can't get the car to move!!) and looking at the forces on each wheel we can see that forces are physically impossible.

The car is stopped, so the momentum must be zero. But it's not. Something weird in mechanics...

I can't see any force at the rear wheels. A small force at right front wheel and a great force at front left wheel. (see images attached)

Sorry: title must say BUG, not BIG ;-)

Thanks...

EDIT: Probably NOT A BUG!!! in the following posts is a feasible explanation.

It's so simple to do....

Hi all.

I think that mos of all almost allways enter the same little group of hosts. At least I do.

It would be nice to maintain this list and select one of them when going to select a multiplayer host by name.

I think that 5 hosts maybe enoght, but the number of hosts isn't important.

Now, we need to write all the host's name if we change the host, and remember the whole name.... frustrating.... 8-)

Thanks.

Quote from senn :

explain what "taking away the bats of the keyboard" is? it makes no sense to me...

Hi senn.

It's a cordless mouse and keyboard.
bats == batteries
(sorry)

raftor

I had the problem with F9-F12 keys two days ago.

I restarted lfs, restarted computer, changed to Z from Z13 and nothing made the keys work.
Finally, I tookaway the bats of the keyboard and everything worked fine.

I never had this problem before.

It started while lfs z13 was running. but persisted after clossing it.

• Keyboard: Logitech cordless desktop EX110
  
• OS: Win XP sp3
  
• LFS: LFS patch Z13
  

Maybe it's related to logitech keyboards being stuck with lfs??

I played again with lfs z13 and it's working fine for 3 days...

I'm not able to reproduce it.

I hope this helps

When selecting AI characteristics, there is an option so choose equal or different configs for driver and AI's. I've found that it works the opposite....
If you choose equal config then configs can be different. ant oposite....

I don't know if it's an incorrect transtlation or a program bug....

Now in Castellano/espanis
En la eleccion de las caracteristicas de los corredores AI se puede elegir si se desea que tengan la misma configuracion que el jugador o que puedan ser diferentes. En mi interpretacion de la opcion cuando se elige igual configuracion, la realidad es que las configuraciones (coche y setup) pueden ser diferentes y al reves.

no se si es un error en la traduccion o un bug del programa...

Thanks in advance!!
Gracias por adelantado

(en general la traduccion es muy buena!!)

Nos vemos

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

There have been times when the "feeling" has been completely different, and not just because of wind. From one server to another the grip goes from "mushy" to sticky tar, but laptimes are identical

Yeah, I noticed that behaviour....

But this change can happend if its cloudy or sunny. My problem is thar a car setup behaves diferent in the same server, after re-entering and using a previously stored setup. The server han't been restarted.

And..... yes.... I drink the same stuff... (duff:nod

thanx for the responses....
raftor

I dont think so. My tyres behave similar.... (same temperature pattern, max temp, etc) It's the same circuit... in succesive races, so it's not normal to change wind or race conditions. It seems that actual setup (memory setup) does not correspond to stored one. I don't know if it's at storage time or a reading time. Or maybe all is my imagination and my lack of constancy 8) Thanks for your responses. raftor

Hi, Well, it's more an impressiñon than an certitude, but I've "observed" that using a setup that works great (newly modified and stored whith a new name) , exiting the race and re-entering, the same setup behaviour is very different. I noticed this some times in last months. ¿Is it possible that some randomness is affecting car behaviour? Maybe some memory corruption, or not storing the correctly the setup. I repeat.... It's an impression, but I noticed this behaviour so often.... While racing (without exiting) the car behaves in a constant way with the "new" setup. After exitin an re-entering, it's very different... Anyone with the same behaviour??? Raftor

No, I don't need to choose a color.

The color of the typed text is a pale-green on a background light. It's difficult to see.

In my opinion, in general collor need to be more readable. This must be improoved.

Maybe a more proffesional look... but more readable for sure.

But is my opinion... maybe it's because my ocular deficiencies ;-)

Yes, you all are right, but the default config of the game must be better -imho-. Thats the point.

But, I still have problems with the colours of: MultiplayerGame-> JoinSpecificHost -> HostName -> then, the color of the typed text are nor selectable???
I don't find how to change it.

But mostly it's the default colors.

Many thanks for the advice.

Hi LFSers. I would sugest to take some care to colors. It's sometimes very dificult to read some texts. It depends on background almost, but also on text color. Sugestion: Onboard Display: put some translucid patch over background to ease reading. Selecting servers. Colors (green over light blue) are difficult. Is it possible to display server names in BW?? Thanks.
