Hello Racers. The new open configurations open up some areas that have problems, because the collision detection has been switched off on some segments, for optimisation reasons.

Though I haven't investigated further, it may be possible for LFS.exe to switch on the contact detection in some areas. I hope that there aren't TOO many places like that... I can't just switch on *everything* - that would include overhead power cables, some inaccessible buildings and would reduce frame rates.

But if you could post a screenshot here of areas where you fall through the ground, maybe I can put some code into the exe that switches on those particular "no physics" segments.

For a start - this area at the Fern Bay mini-oval (posted by kart-36) :

Quite a bit off onto the grass.

missing barriers allow you to go off-track

IMO, it should be "materialised" it look fun to drive here!

E: Oh, don't see antonis found it too

I really dont know if this is a bug, but im reporting...

Befor post your bugs read previous posts!

theres a line up ahead that you drop through, also behind me near the small palm trees.

Thank you for the help. Most of these holes should be fixed in Z33 :

I remembered in the Skid Pad. In open config no problem.

Thanks for the report but I can't do anything about that one, it would require a track update.

These ones I can't do anything about either, as there is no existing object that can close off those ends while leaving the corners open.

In these cases it's just for the layout designer to close the gaps.

<conspiracy theory>Why it says "layout designer" and not Eric?</conspiracy theory>

/facepalm

he means the server layout editor.

Thanks for ruining my conspiracy theory :worried:

Scawen can you relook at the skidpad. most of the offroad areas that are dirt/grass are super hard to drive through (like glue) 40mph tops. is there anyway you can change the surface type to something a little more drivable (ie sand/grass consistency). As well as maybe making the areas around where i have circled farther from the track, solid and drivable as well.

Check the attached SS for the area in question

It also doesn't show grass particles when accelerating, it seems very weird. Only RB4 can accelerate on it in 1st/2nd gear. Getting stuff like this done is the first step towards more awesome rally sports in LFS!

+9000


You can actually get out there in other cars but it so difficult its not fun. Ive got a set that allows me to cruise in 4th gear out there but only at the same 40mph.

Yes yes yes +1 Offroading on skidpad would be awesome if it weren't for trying to drive on superglue. Hope this gets fixed, i'd love to try out that terrain in other cars

Ye ofc i love the ide

Just make all the terrain around the drag track solid and grass so its drivable by other cars
