Seems like my bug report was drowned in the Z30 thread, so Im reposting it here. No collision detection against the metal fence after the chicane in AS7R, SPR available at this link: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1598414#post1598414

S2 is by far the most value I have ever got buying a computer game.

I don't know if this already have been reported, but with MRT you can go right through the metal fences and into the nethers, right after the chicane on AS7R. SPR attached.

It's also possible to get permanently stuck down under in multiplayer. Haven't been able to reproduce that artifact in single player though.

If Im not mistaken, wind direction is selected by random. So you might have to make a few attempts before getting the wind to go down the straight in the driving direction.

It goes to show that the content is just as important as the techology (engine) for making the game look good.

Quote from Scawen :Yellow flags are not easy, because they become quite annoying if LFS doesn't know if a car is in a safe place. It uses the path to know if a car is parked or stopped off line in a safe place and this is impossible without path information.

Have you (or Victor) considered releasing a path file editor? Im sure many layout makers will make paths aswell for their layouts.

Im guessing they are running a standard server that can't limit classes like i.e Airio does. So TDRT was racing FX2 or FX9, while the OP was racing FXR.

Edit: just saw now that Kolz had replied.

Quote from sermilan :I did, but it's a bit shorter now

Yes, I had one short freeze just now. Have to check the replay to see if someone was leaving the pits, or if it was something else.

I haven't noticed anymore freezing when racers are leaving the pits, so that seems to be fixed in these latest patches.
But the game freezes for a cupple of seconds if someone are kicked from the server (atleast for bad names on Airio-powered servers).

Quote from brainslot :I just downloaded the demo version and want to practice. Now the game comes up and I can start a race, but I just sit there reving the engine and cranking the wheel. The car does not move. I have the setting for 'auto'.
I am using a logitech joystick. Everything else seems to work...but I can't move!

Any suggestions?

When you select automatic gear box, you have to put it into 1st gear when the race starts. Then the gear box will do all the shifting there after.

After doing some 12000 laps with GT2s on Cargame, I guess the Airio restrictions are pretty fair?

Quote from boothy :ZOMG then I assume you'll be the one helping to make the .pth files for each configuration?

Make it simple to create pth-files, and I'm sure alot of people will create the paths for their layout themselves.

xfirestorm pretty much spoke my mind. It would be nice to have properly implementet GT classes. And it surely would make the classes more available.

Yes, Dave, I know. But is there really any other custom classes as popular as the Airio GT2?
LFS and LFSW recognizing the GT2 and GT3 classes

I was just wondering if recognition of the GT2 class, and possibly GT3, by both LFS and LFSW have been under consideration. GT2 has become very popular since Airio was released, but it would be nice to have LFS recognize the different classes aswell as LFSWorld for official WRs and so on. Since it's basically only intake restrictions (and possibly some ballast), I'd guess it would be very easy to make them distinct cars in the game.

If classes are to be recognized, there should also be new short names for the cars to reflect their class:

FX1 / XR1 / FZ1 - the previously called GTRs, now GT1
FX2 / XR2 / FZ2 - GT2

Quote from anttt69 :Hey Scawen can we drop the number plates off the GT cars, it makes them look silly.

I agree, or atleast make the text and the plate smaller.

Have you tried setting the affinity to just one CPU core for the LFS process?

Only negative thing I can say about Cargame.nl S2 (all though I am a CG member), is that you have to earn the rank to drive the fastest cars, which can be a little demotivating at first. But once you do earn the rank, racing in the fastest class (GT2) can be really intense!

Quote from Scawen :*snip snip*

Does this also mean improved contact detection with the speed bumps in i.e KY3 chicane?
Often it seems like it's up to luck if you get suspension damage or not when "cheating" (or just missing) the chicane and fly over the speed bumps. If it was spot on every time (meaning suspension destruction if hitting the bumps at 230 km/h), the chicane would be even more intense.

PS. Would also be interesting if the front spoilers on the GTRs and open wheels could be damaged or even completely run off if they smash into curbs and bumps.

I think he meant charm. LFS is charming. And I agree with him.

Im not setup dude, but how about alot of rebound and very little bump damping, along with high ride height, soft springs and very little ARBs?
All though, it would probably make the handling utter terror.

Well, you sorta have solved the time gap yourself when you say that he goes 15 km/h faster than you through the corners. That means he is exiting the corners at a higher speed too (most likely), and will carry more speed than you on the straight. Getting a good exit speed is especially important on longer straights.

If you hit escape while watching the SPR of the WR, you can do a test drive with the WR holders setup and see if the differences in speed could be related to the setup. But be prepared for a undrivable setup, as most of these WR setups are.

Yes, but I was thinking if the game will ship with any layouts that serves the same purpose as the current track layouts such as KY2, KY3, etc.

For instance a KY4 layout shipped with the new build, that combines KY2 and KY3 into one single (and long) track which also is recognized in the same way as i.e KY3 by both the game and LFSW.

This is so exciting! Can't wait!

This have probably already been answered, but will LFSW support any of the new layouts? So that, say, we could have a mega long official KY track?

Also you wrote that the rendering of new numberplates have fixed a "pit out glitch", is this the momentairly game freezing that occurs once in a while when someone leaves the pits?
