WARNING : THIS IS A TEST

NOTE : THE VW SCIROCCO IS NOT INCLUDED


Hello Racers, here is a new Test Patch : Z4.

It is fully online compatible with version Z.
You can view hotlap replays made in version Z.

ABS brakes have been added to 6 cars (as a setup option) so for now you cannot upload hotlaps made in Z4.

Although the list of changes is short, there are a lot of internal changes and optimisations.
So you should probably keep a backup of your LFS.exe from version Z.



Changes in TEST PATCH Z4 :

Attempted fix for polygon errors seen on some graphics cards
FIX : It was impossible to join an online race with a demo car


Changes in TEST PATCH Z3 :

Updated wheels on Formula BMW
Implemented ABS brakes in XFG / XRG / RB4 / FXO / XRT / FZ5
Improved wheel drawing system including rotating brake discs
Improved shadows - sharper and ambient shadow effect now included
InSim : New packets to start / search replays and take screenshots
FIX : Player name was wrong in entry screen on entry or after replay
FIX : Added checks to prevent guests joining with no user name or ID
FIX : OOS starting race after joining autocross host in entry screen

You can switch them off! You're not forced to use it...

Hope can be fixed fast

Yeah, sure... NO!
Go testing, and u will see...

That’s not the case. The tires still lockup rapidly and you will mess your lines if you do not have enough control over that.

ABS works as it sould do
nice work

good work scawen.....ABS works perfect

I'm not sure what you mean. It seems to work - try it on a car without ABS.

Brake help is really for keyboard and mouse users who don't have an axis brake.

Thanks so much Scawen.

That was officially the FASTEST fix in history. Thanks a lot!

Ah okay

Damnit how the h** u know that i got a Wheel? [JustFun]
Scawen is a god

LONG LIVE SCAWEN ,,HIP HIP HORAY!"

nice work! thanks scawen!

Quote from Android XP :

It works perfectly fine, what are you talking about?

E: In case you don't know, if you put the brake bias back the rear brakes will have more strength and the front brakes will have less.

Yes, i know what is brake bias. What I want to say is, if rear wheels blocks with brake, but no front wheels, then ABS does not work. I don't know if it is the normal function of ABS... so I say "possible fail on ABS"

maybe you can put some red on the brakes when they are hot too like in forza motorsport

MRT5 has got lights indicator(it's working, when you press lights button, it's purple(or blue?)), but it does not have lights. Isn't it bug?

Scawen what exact changes has FBM wheels?

I had testing with defaul set in City Long and i noticed that with red tyres you can run without "drift" I feel easy to drive. I noticed too that if you slid to much tires don't burn up having a stable temperature. Any change in tires?
