Thanks for the patch Scawen, everything works as it should. The new screen controls are very good.
I noticed that RAC has a working odometer and the oil pressure gauge works on all cars which have one. I couldn't find these changes in the list.

+1 can Scawen please elaborate if the engine physics/monitoring have been upgraded, this is something i'm very intrigued by.

The Red gear indicator is a feature, not a bug, as it's on all the cars.

Your dash textures are screwed tho, ie in the centre, where its red and black or whatever, not mapped properly, because it's an old texture. (NOT TEST PATCH RELATED)

iirc, 80's subaru's (brumby, leone, and the wagon...was it called a liberty at that stage?) have front wheel handbrake.

Re: handbrakes on cars with disc brakes, that utilize a seperate drum setup: Landcruiser 7x series have this, as does the toyota soarer iirc, thats the only ones i know off the top of my head.

LFS: so are the devs aware of said hax?

Reality: Isn't there that new stronger stuff they used in the A380 thats stronger than CF, and as light (if not lighter?)

Fresh install LFS Z, and update straight to Z18.

260hp is a bit soft. how about Chev engined L300 Mitsubishi Van, complete with Plumbers stickers + roof racks?

If you're gonna do it, do it right.

There's also a jet powered one around too iirc..

someone mentioned there is some "Fusion Experiment" being built in france that is more of a concern, anyone know about it? Hearing rumours it's like a giant H Bomb, but can't confirm..

Make sure your G15 Software is up to date, there was an update a couple months ago IIRC.

Here's what i'm planning on doing once i have the motor/gearbox out of my spare wreck MR2, i'm going to get a reciprocating saw, and cut the floorpan out from the far side of the centre console to the sill, basically from the rear firewall of the cab, to up where the front firewall is. Tech screw a tray in for the wheel, sit the screen up on it etc, and bam simple cockpit. Hoping i can mount the shifter into the original shifter position too. This will mean i can use the MR2's drivers seat, and also have the option later on of having an outgauge dash fitted in place of the factory dash. Also means i don't have to **** around too much making seat mounts and so on. This isn't a competition entry, just maybe worth thinking about, if you can get a wreck for a couple hundred bucks

EDIT: would be even cooler if i could suss out a way to use the MR2's Light switches etc to work in LFS too...

Small worry in Outogauge

New OG_ABS (OG_FLAGS) always becomes ON by ABS-off and Non-ABS cars.

Anyway, Its an addition of great multiple screen function.

Could that be related to the ABS dash light not working that was reported in z16..or 17, it still doesn't work in z18, but just curious?

mrodgers - i think he means legally, which is correct, the driver following is at fault.

i don't think its a Z18 related bug, i get those on occaision when playing online.

Fair comment, it has been discussed before that that is the crux of the issue. Perhaps that is why the OP thinks it doesn't feel right. It would be almost impossible to tell, unless you get a speed readout of the individual wheels anyway.

maybe not evidence, but the crazy amount of locked front + rear diff FXR setups. Doesn't seem to hinder turn in as much as i'd expect. Or kill the tyres like a real locker does either. *shrug* just a thought

tracks wet, gonna be a slow one for a while..

Quote from geeman1 :

TBH the lag bar is not really self explanatory. I thought it was some kind of equalizer at first too Even if you know it's a lag bar, it still isn't quite clear how it works. To read it you need to read the manual.

Funny how to understand how something works you have to read the manual first.. :P

Much love Scawen, you guys are working flat out at the moment, your efforts are greatly appreciated Don't forget to stop and have a beer or something!

Some cars, when the brake lights are on, turn the park light filament off (remember seeing this on a 1990 camry with some dodgy globes)
Other cars don't (my old corolla lit both filaments when the brakes were depressed) so it was a teensy bit brighter, not much tho

even though it seems you know already, just confirmed it, forces view in Shift U with Camera Rotation causes screen flicker.

XFX nvidia 8800GT Alpha
Windows vista Ultimate 32 bit

Is there a specific car that screen bug happens with? I can't get it to occur..

Vista Ultimate 32bit
XFX 8800GT Alpha Dog
1920x1080 @ 60hz
all settings in LFS maxxed, vsync off

you really need a light to tell you ABS is functioning? Why? Unless its for a Failure(or toggle on/off) of the ABS system, why do you need a light?
just seems a bit redundant to me..

NFS has some serious serious bugs to be fixed (stuck on start line, can't use advanced tuning properly, cars bouncing off the track like they have no shocks) etc.

Won't be playing again until EA gets a fix.

actually i noticed it too, but thought it was just because i hadn't played in a while. But i am running the FFB down a lot more now..

EDIT: Fixed, cycled FFB level from 0 to 200% and back to my usual settings. all good now.

Scawen responded to your problem in the Z16 thread, please go back and read it.

EDIT - my bad was someone else with exactly the same issue

Quote from Flame CZE :

And did een they have it in the past?

maybe he's confused as some of the cars that have been updated recently (XRT as an example) have the "spotted" stuff down the sides making it easier to see. Possible he only noticed now he's paying more attention
