Test Patch 0.6K5 is now available! https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/88821
- Updated to the Rift SDK 0.8 and and OpenVR SDK 0.9.14
- Better multi monitor support and an option to allow input after clicking on another window
That should now work properly. Also the option to allow input while window is inactive.

Good suggestion. I think it's still coded for the XP style of desktop. I'd better make it work with Windows 7 style multi-monitor desktops. This has not changed in any recent test patch.
Thank you for the test. Sorry to hear it doesn't help. I am using the 358.91 driver.

Thanks. That led me to the answer. The same bug can be reproduced without NPClient.dll - using Axis Look and assigning an Axis. Then the same "double one button look" bug appears. I've fixed it in both cases and tested it in the Axis case. To save me installing TrackIR, please can you check the fix when Test Patch K4 is released?
EDIT: The same bug also existed in Look functions "ms X" and "ms XY".

I don't know what you mean. Can you give a more detailed explanation?
Hmm... interesting. I wonder if 0.8 will work OK when the LFS DLL is built with the 0.8 SDK. Just possibly it is the way Oculus have programmed the backward compatibility. I'll try to get the new DLL ready in time for the next test patch so we can give it a go.
EDIT: At first I thought nothing had changed but now I think I see what this could be.

I'm planning to disable this message for all remote cars. It's really easy to do but I didn't think of it at all until your report.
No, it's not possible to disable vertical sync in Direct mode. I find LFS performs better in the Vive than the Rift even with the Vive's higher frame rate. One thing is that LFS can present its render target directly to the Vive software which renders the final image. In the Rift, you are forced to request a render target from the Rift software and that is a DX11 render target which cannot be used by LFS for rendering. So LFS must do an extra, wasted copy from its DX9 target to the DX11 one.
I don't know for sure if that is the real cause. I have a note to implement the 0.8 SDK support which is hopefully mainly renaming a few functions. Then we'll see if the 0.8 SDK works better than the 0.7 one.
I don't think the functionality is actually there. The render target for post-processing just uses 4x antialiasing, regardless of the setting (as it also does in Rift mode and anaglyph 3D mode). I guess LFS should really show the setting, check for validity and pass it to the function that creates the render target.
We processed the FO8 hotlaps before the other cars, as a test to gain confidence in the checking system. There were only around 2500 FO8 hotlaps, out of a total of around 60000. They just take a while to process, maybe a few days, though I haven't asked Victor how the progress is yet today.
Thanks, now I can reproduce it!

New hotlap checking system - Out Of Bounds
Dear Hotlappers,
As it is possible to cut corners on some of the Rockingham configurations, we recently implemented a corner cutting check system. This is available in Test Patch 0.6K2. It works by triggering an HLVC failure "out of bounds" if your car is a few metres off the intended course on the inside of the bend.
This will promote fairer competition by ensuring that hotlappers remain on the legal area of the track! We have already reprocessed the existing Rockingham hotlaps at LFS World and removed 80 hotlaps that went out of bounds. If one of yours was removed you should have received an email about it. We recommend you use Test Patch 0.6K2 so you know if your hotlap is HLVC legal according to the new rules.
Hotlaps on some of the older tracks will also be affected, but not yet. During this testing stage we are still using the 0.6K version to check hotlaps on the other tracks.
NOTE: We expect to release a minor update of Rockingham in January and it is likely to make all hotlaps go OOS (EDIT: I mean all the Rockingham ones). So please do have some fun hotlapping but don't take it too seriously at this stage!

As this test patch has a hotlapping focus, we have now enabled the uploading of hotlaps recorded with it.
But note that we expect to release a minor Rockingham update in January and this will probably make Rockingham hotlaps go OOS so the Rockingham tables will need to be reset at that point.

After testing, the new HLVC check will be applied to all hotlaps when they are uploaded. At the moment, the checker is still running the 0.6K version.
In addition, when we upload this stricter test, Victor will start a process that will re-test all existing hotlaps (not only WR hotlaps) and remove the ones that fail the test. In each case, an email is sent to the account holder.

Possibly! I think the usual thing for track updates for existing licenses (including S3) will be to go through a public testing stage. That wasn't really practical for this one (selling licenses for a test patch) so we thought we'd just get to the release point without any distractions and avoiding forum arguments. Next time we release an S3 track, the situation is more like the Westhill update.
EDIT: Obviously, I mean "if all goes to plan and we do release further content"
We did consider this!
But just on this one occasion, we couldn't really do a test patch. Because we would have had to sell licenses only for a test patch without any official version to support them.
So we did some good testing with a small group of beta testers and decided that would be the best way forward, although we do prefer full public tests.
There is the possibility of an update, e.g. in January, if there are enough issues to make it worth while, though incompatible updates are a bit annoying. If it's not needed, I guess Eric would like to get stuck into finishing some other content after the holiday.

Reason : "another track" -> "some other content"
Thanks, but I can't reproduce this. Does it depend on the track? There could be a problem at a track with a small grid. But I can easily add up to 24 at, for example, Fern Bay Club.
Can you test another track, and if you still get the bug, explain step by step how to get it?
Please check it says 0.6J4 on your entry screen (correct patch install).

Reason : J5 update
Yes, I am sure that is only for the developer forum.
My current plan is to release the LFS test patch next week. Then I'll do a Steam wallet payment, that I think will allow me to post in the public SteamVR forum to get LFS tested by a few people. It seems there are a few Vive users who want to try some more games or demos but there are not many available. It also seems that any other games and demos are only available for onboarded people.
Then I'll email my contacts at Valve to let them know we've done the implementation! Hopefully they'll like that as I guess that is the main reason for sending me a Vive!
