I do not interesting to the abs on a simulated car.

The double strike on boxes without sync would be much better.

Not sure anyone suggested it, quick google search came up with nothing.

I think that ABS on/off and TC on/off should be switched in places in garage, when FZ5 is selected. Right now it's:

Maximum brake force and balance
TC on/off
TC settings
ABS on/off.

Quote from MattsterGT :

will all cars except SS have that in Z23? or will it be S3?

thx for the patch

I doubt it will be in the next patch, but in the final test patch (e.g. Z30) there could be those updates.

Hi, your post was on my notes from Z20.

Can you explain a bit more how it is buggy when the camera is paused? What are you trying to do anyway, is it to play back camera movements through InSim to make a video?

I think there is some way to do it, not actually pausing LFS, but using a time stop packet, then you can step forward LFS time in a controlled way. See SMALL_TMS and SMALL_STP. Or maybe you can use the IS_RIP packet.

Anyway, if you give a detailed description of exactly what you are trying to do, what you do, and what happens, I could have a look to see if there is a quick fix.

About the replay slider, I'm not sure what you mean. I can see it in SHIFT+U mode if I press SPACE to hide the buttons. There are 3 SHIFT+F states, and in one of them, all text is invisible but the replay slider is still visible.

Hello,

I'll try to explain better. Actually, with my application, i record different camera position. For this, i move the camera several times in user mode and each time, i store the informations received by IS_CPP packet. Then, i change IS_CPP.Time for each record and i return all packets modified to LFS to make a "movie". This works fine. The problem is that if i try to send this informations while LFS is paused (a bit like, MATRIX style effect ), the camera moving is not good. Pos X,Y,Z and Time are misinterpreted by LFS.
Maybe I doing something wrong and perhaps there is another solution to make this ... In any case, this is not very important, I just wanted to draw your attention over here, you're probably the more important things to do...

About slider... it's me that is buggy !

Thanks,
Bye

I though the movie will explain everything.. can you see the cars are lagging? not moving smoothly. And I recorded in 0.125 , so you can SEE it BETTER.

Unokeva used to talk about how recording in .125 creates this issue. I do think it needs to be resolved, but it's always been a little jumper than .250 for some weird reason.

Gegry1992, your example is a codec issue. It will do that even if the film is 60 FPS, the only thing that will change is how big the blur area around the objects is. You can change this in your project properties, or simply render them in the preview quality format.

oh
wmv suxx . hd codec dont like it

The only modification there is an edited rim .dds

exactly. I guess he just saw that i'm a demo user and wanted to find something to nit-pick on me.

60 fps and 0.250 speed.

Quote from Dmt :

Scawen, is it possible to get rid of this lag?
It would improve movies quality a lot and makes your eye relaxed.
Recorded it on low speed cause then its the best to spot the lag.

Are you using Windows 7?

I think this does not happen in XP. I'm using W7 too, but the first time I play to LFS on W7 I see a strange "lag" on the image at normal speed. Now seeing your video I think it is what saw. I will try now in XP

@hotmail: Are you sure you know what patch is released and which are the new addons in it????

I tried, and it is not related to Windows 7, so in XP is the same.

But I found another 'bug', it is minor.

When I open the test patch on XP (unlocked on W7), the last combination what I was playing was FOX@Fe Gold, so I try to add AI Players and giveme an error in loop, I don't remember exactly the message but say that it can't to add AI driver, and show this messages every second, in this state no button work and I have to close LFS, after openning no problem, that's what I say it is a minor bug.

Yea im on W7 64x

Few more people have tested and they have the same lag.

It's possible but quite a big project. The LFS physics run at 100 Hz so what you are seeing is 0.01 second steps in time. Currently this is not interceptible. What you want is to see car positions between physics steps, or part way through physics steps.

A related issue exists watching LFS in real time on a normal 60 Hz display. If the monitor runs at 100 Hz you can watch one LFS physics step per frame, and if it was at 50 Hz you could see 2 physics steps per frame. So that would be smooth. But at 60 Hz there is a different time step between frames. This issue would also be solved by adding the ability to draw the cars in between physics steps.

So... no, it's not something I can so at this time although it is possible and would be a nice thing to do one day.

Is it something you plan on giving a go in the future tho?
It's not that big of importance really, just asking out of curiousty.. wrong spelled, you know - wondering..

So, since LFS runs at 100Hz, running my monitors at 75 is better than 60, correct?

Would that not give you 4 physics every 3 frames...? Dunno, on the wine

It'll take less frames to match up than 60Hz would; in theory. I could be way off base, though. I'm far too tired for brain.

Just tested on 75Hz, effect is the same.

I would like to know that too, since I don't see a difference in 'smoothness' between 60 and 75 hz.

It is for this reason that 60Hz is a populate rate for console racing games, as it means you either get exactly 1 or 2 steps between frames (depending on the games target framerate), for smoother racing. For console sims, they use a multiple of 60Hz, like Forza which uses 360Hz.

Same here, but that does suggest that 50Hz would be better still...but yeah, 60 must be dire I would have thought.
