+1. I think that's a great idea; especially before the race starts and you're sitting on the grid, it's always a bit too quiet and kinda "eerie". Some cheering/murmuring in the stands and the odd air-horn would really fill-out the experience IMO, and add to the excitement and anticipation. If you've got a roaring crowd before the lights go green, it's just gonna make you want to win that *little* bit more.

...when you're walking around town, and you subconsciously take the "racing line" around each corner.

Or maybe that's just me...

I think the ABS is a great inclusion personally. Road cars in real life have it, so why not the road cars in LFS? Leaving it out would make the sim *less* realistic. And of course, it's likely to make laps faster; the whole point of ABS is that it shortens braking distances and helps maintain control. I'm not saying that it should necessarily be used in races (the ability to ban ABS at the host's end would be a great idea IMO - I'm all for racing without ABS), but it's just an extra facet of the sim. Perhaps something to use on cruise servers, or just for playing around with. It could also help new drivers, as a learning aid.

If the racebred cars all had ABS too, then that'd obviously be unrealistic and would cause real problems, but since it's just the road cars, I don't see what the problem is.

Oh, thanks for the patch Scawen! The new shadows are a great improvement. :-)

1440x900 here.

No problems here...running an old nVidia GeForce FX 5500, and the AA and AF is working great with minimal FPS loss (not that I had many FPS to start with lol). Thanks Scawen.

Cheers Scawen! I've never installed any extra lessons though, so where that lot have come from I've no idea lol. Thanks for that though.

Hey Scawen,

Sorry I took so long, but I've attached the Zip file of my language folder. I'm still having this problem with my options screen, even with Y12:


Hope that helps...and good job with the continuous development.

Sure, here it is:



I'm thinking it might have something to do with my languages; for whatever reason (I can't remember, it happened a long time ago) most of them aren't installed except English...but this issue in the screenshot never happened before Y10.

I'm running Windows 2000, and am now having the issue I posted above. Didn't have any problems before this latest patch, though.

I don't know if this is a widespread issue as no-one else has mentioned it, but here goes.

Since Y10, whenever I go into the "Game" menu under options, all of the left-hand options buttons dissapear...and soem strange textures/lines come up on the right hand side of the screen. It didn't do this before. Anyone else got this issue? I can try and get a screen grab if necessary...

This may well have been reported before (apologies if it has), but the AI seem to be having some trouble entering the pitlane on SO5. I'm using X37, and the AI were all using XRRs (called Sausage, Gas Pipe and Girtle...bit of a Worms Armageddeon influence there, hehe). They all went to pit on lap 4, and missed the pit entry lane, bouncing off and then trying to drive through the wall into it...burning out their clutches. They also kept hitting the wall opposite the sharp hairpin, repeatedly. I've attached a replay.
Again, sorry if this had already been reported. Thanks for X37 too..should help a lot on the other tracks.

There's no specific section to put this bug in either, so I'll put it here. It's a bit of a strange one! I find that whenever I'm driving the XR GTR (with manual clutch), and try to drive away *slowly* from a standstill, it sometimes makes some very strange "engine" noises...like synthesised "burps" that come up really loud. And then all of a sudden, it'll be fine again! It sounds to me like a glitch in the sound engine/new XR GTR sound, as it never happened with the previous version.
It's no big deal, and only happens on occasion...but it's really weird! Made me jump the first time it happened, lol. Might be difficult to replicate though; perhaps it's just my PC.

Anyhoo, as I said before...*great* work on the patch! It's a huge improvement, and I can't wait for further improvements and updates. Top job! :-)

I'm in! Great new patch...more realism...just awesome.

Happy Birthday Scawen, hope ya had a top day. Great work on the new patch!

Nice work Scawen, just installed it. You guys are really moving along with these updates now!

1.35GB for my S2, with 5,982 files and 49 folders.

Top job guys, this patch is an excellent improvement. The game initiates MUCH faster now on my PC too...before it'd take almost a minute to initiate, now it takes about 15 seconds.

Here's one for all you RC fans out there, "sponsored" by RCKingdom.co.uk (feel free to use it, but you may want to edit-out my username from the windscreen). It's my first skin so it's not great, but I'm pleased with how it came out. The attachment is in 1024x768, and here are some previews:
