HI LFS racers

Can anyone in here tell me what open/closed config is.

Open config is when all the configurations on a track are linked together. Closed is when you have barriers dividing them. Here is the 0.6B thread announcing the release.

Since the command can be overlooked when skimming the post...

Quote from Scawen :

...snip... Open configs can be selected with text command like /track=SO1X ...snip...

Or even more simple:
At track sellection screen, hold down ctrl

that's news to me! thanks!

Your welcome!
Wonder why it's not a simple button click on the screen, instead of pressing an random key on the keyboard - confuses new members :s

I totally agree with you on this one - I am even thinking about posting it as a thread in the improvement suggestions forum. Now if you don't accidentally hold Ctrl or don't read the LFSManual Keys page, you don't know about it at all.

Yup! If it hasn't been done before, post a suggestion or persuate Scawen to implent it
