Updated translations - thank you translators

New commands :

/zero_all
- Reset all lap counters and checkpoints passed as if the race had
just been started. This removes checkpoints passed.
So using this command on the first lap, before the first
checkpoint is passed, has no effect. After the first
checkpoint there is an effect. The first lap will not be
counted. This is intended to help with a rolling start after
a parade lap.

/setlap username X
- X is positive : Set the lap that the user is currently on (as
seen at the top right, not the number of laps completed). This
does not affect checkpoints passed. This may help with a driver
who reconnects after an unintended disconnection.
- X is zero : Same as the /zero_all command but for one driver.
- X is negative : subtract from the number of laps, without
affecting checkpoints passed. This may be useful as a penalty.
Awesome news! Thanks for the awesome track and Autocross improvements!

Yea! Thank you Scawen, Eric and Victor for the Westhill update and the improvements! Big grin
Simply amazing! Smile

But please update the trackmap in LFS remote application also.
(data from new Westhill shown on old Westhill map look crazy)
Smile

And what a fun this update is. Thanks for all the hard work!

Happy easter.
That was a slick operation. Good work this week!

The new map is there, maybe try clearing your cache.
Thank you so much devs!
HOTLAP UPLOAD ERROR:

You cannot upload hotlaps made with LFS version 0.6H.
Thank you ScawenRofl
Thanks Scawen !

I have seen a thing that I never hoped in my LFS life : "Eric is connected (Eric)". Big grin
Thanks for the awesome track,Thanks for all the hard work!
This honestly has brought new life to LFS. I've just raced on a full grid on the access roads around Westhill, and have been cruising and finding racing lines all week with this new track.

I'd often find myself loading LFS, having 2-3 races, and then logging off for the night. I would maybe do this 4 times a week (because I honestly love the game) or more. The last week of testing Westhill I've been going non stop. Likely 2 hours a day or so, and wishing I could drive longer.

Thank you for the hard work devs. I've enjoyed this for many years, and will enjoy for many more to come.

(edit) 2 hours a night is pretty much all my free time with work and whatnot. It would be more like 6-8 hrs if I were unemployed Wink
Good job boyzs
Seems that in the Remote the Westhill car park isn't fully shown. It's cut down at the bottom.
New Westhill is fantastic. It took a bit longer than initialy planed, but it was worth the wait.
Thank you devs!
