I have no bad feelings about the delay in the development of new physics. Everyone, who has been involved in doing such things, would agree, that these things happen from time to time. But I still don't get, why you don't release the new track, why you don't improve those cockpits, which still look a bit outdated. In my opinion most people are a bit pissed because of the lack of new content, not because of the delay of the new physics.
I think that watchers are not connected directly to the stream creator but to a relay server. So it doesn't matter, if there is one watcher or there are 100 watchers. It would be the same for the stream creator.
I agree, it isn't a matter of framerates. But it can change the "look and feel" on some tracks. Maybe you could add a simpler option, such as "sky on|off" to let us choose between the former ellipsoid option and disabled sky?
... there was a feature in "Grand Prix Legends", so you was only allowed to reset, if nobody's near you on track / was coming to the reset-position of your car.
Then you got me wrong. I just wanted to say that we not only have to say "let's lynch them" but we have to _do_ something. For we can't lynch anybody, we should ban them from our servers.
... did I say so? No! Why do you think I take part of this discussion? Right, because these cheaters destroy our game. The only thing I intended to point out was, that we should do what we can to clean our servers form those cheaters. That's all.
I have searched the forum for some detailed information about the charakter codes - unfortunately in vain. I know that there are color codes ^0 -> ^9, but are there other codes which could be interesting for insim/outgauge tools?
in a way it is not that bad that these cheats appeared. If Neo hasn't done this cheating tool, it would have been created by another person and probably would habe been used in a more secret way. Are you really sure that there haven't been such tools out there? Just 3-5 km/h more top speed and noone would have had a suspect. We all thought that there weren't any cheats out there, now we are proofed wrong.
Of course it would have been much better to inform the devs without letting it spread out. This was really a big mistake by Neo and the other Portuguese. Now it is out and the worst thing about this is that every fast driver is assumed to be a cheater.
Of course we all want Scawen to work on other things like weather, better A.I., LX8 But on a long-term basis for Scawen it is not wasted time to make LFS safer.
And hey, why don't we create a cheater list, so all teams could keep their servers clean by banning those cheaters?
... yup, that's right. This is the way I change position and size of LFS window:
var TheWindowHandle: THandle; . . . TheWindowHandle := FindWindow(nil, 'Live for Speed'); if TheWindowHandle <> 0 then begin MoveWindow(TheWindowHandle, Left,Top,Width, Height, True); BringWindowToTop(TheWindowHandle); end;
Left, Top, Width and Height stand for the size and position of LFS window.
