not much new since 10 years ago but its getting there and i think its gonna be a solid change
Not related to VR, but in the past we had the new persistent tire marks feature. It's great for immersion but it's a horrible distraction for hotlapping and driving consistently. It's mostly a problem in multiplayer where noobs/crashers drive off track or drift all over the place and leave huge tire marks which accumulate over the races and the result is a track that's painted in them. It'd be great to have the option to enable or disable persistent tire marks.
Hello everyone,
I want to report some fonts issues where the characters are displayed narrower than they should be and some other issues in general. From my understanding, this was supposed to be fixed in 6T2, but I digress.
First minor issue is the screenshot save path that is displayed wrong in Japanese and Korean language.
Second minor issue is this one. Just a few examples.
We are supposed to see 'VIII', but don't.
This issue is present in the following fonts :

i dont think your whining is gonna change anything, yeah bro you better know that when your in the internet there is no privacy unless you choose to preserve it, by that i mean dont upload your 'private' shit and later whine why it is stolen and shit permission this permission that, as long as you put it on the web there is no guarantee anymore it will remain private. look at the gta scene, people dont even bother to make mods, they just take someone else mod and claim its their own, they dont care about permission bs, if they want to, they will, their protected behind their screens, whining about it wont change anything, perhaps make it worse. if you dont want anything to be stolen, make sure there is nothing to be stolen.
problem! i play lfs on a laptop, sony vaio windows 8. works perfectly fine. but the thing is that i get 250 fps if i put the laptop in battery mode and i lose 100 fps if i put back AC adapter. i noticed something changing in this thing, again the game is only textures mod i guess its fine. look at this image. in the first image, i see a lot of activity in "wait" but zero activity in "sleep", in the second pic its the other way around. i first suspected that the difference comes from power plan but i checked that and its not that.
in battery mode my cpu fan is louder, strangely. if anyone who had this problem solved it help me please.

edit 2 : problem solved, all i had to do was to change from high performance power plan to normal performance power plan

I solved my problems now. Thanks for helping.
Thanks, now the error is gone, but the mouse buttons don't do anything.
I have another problem : I binded vJoy buttons to my keyboard but on the monitor they are pressed even when I'm not touching them. Here is my updated code.
What I'm doing wrong? Thanks

you're on the wrong forum i'm afraid.
Hello, I want to have mouse buttons as accelerator and brake. I tried to modify an already modified (more simpler) version of Skagen's script but, apparently, I'm doing it wrong.
I changed throttle and brake binds to ''mouse.leftButton'' and ''mouse.rightButton'' respectively, but because of that, I get error ''line 104 expected Key, got bool''
Anyone know how I can solve this? I'm too used to having throttle and brakes with mouse buttons to change now.
Here is the code I currently have.

The steering becomes less accurate when I lower Parallel steer?
At this moment(I have +0.1 front toe), I found that 54% feels better than 27% perhaps because accuracy is not decreased like you say, but with 27% I did faster laps maybe because it has less understeer at entry. I'm not quite sure, but is it needed to change anti-roll bars in conjunction with Parallel steer to get a better handling, in order to get the accuracy of high parallel steer numbers while having the entry suffering?
That's why I asked what I should aim for when I tune parallel steer, because I don't know if I should look for the fastest setting while having a bad handling, or a good handling while sacrificing a small bit of speed. On the long term (endurance races), I think good handling is better, but in hotlapping it's not useful to have a slow set. I tried several settings but I always run into problems with each one. Around 10% car feels darty and way too oversteery in all corner phases. At 20%, the car is good in cornering but the entry is excessive. At 30%, it's like 20% but a little less darty and less oversteery at entry. At 40%, it's very close to 30% but less darty and less oversteery. At 50%, it's almost not darty but entry understeer is manifested heavily and a bit of mid corner understeering. I didn't try over 55%. The choice is vast but needs to be wise.

How do I tune Parallel steer/Ackermann ?
I want to know what I should aim for when I tune the Parallel steer setting. It doesn't explain very well in the setup guide in the LFS Manual site, so I want to hear out what you think.
It's for XRG@BL1.
It's for XRG@BL1.
I don't know how skilled you are 
.
If you can somehow detect if a race is restarting (you can try to count votes of people for ''sudden restart'' but dunno about insim restart lol? and restart detection should not be like ''race is starting'' notification which probably looks at timer) then this problem will likely be solved. Because you can program it to save mpr just when restart is detected and every mpr would contain the whole race just like the built-in autosave. And for naming, you may not need to go very deep in details, maybe just like Hotlaps, for example BL1_XRG_13285_4... I think it can work, but it will be very buggy at the beggining.
EDIT: i just reminded that insim restart is admin/host restart...

Hi Daniel, I have a feature suggestion for LFSLazy. How about an .mpr autosave feature which saves the .mpr only if certain conditions are met?For example: if pb, if lap is better than WR+0.5%, if you raced(or ur har driv will be full of shizz if ur spectatoring lol D: ).
You can also add custom name... for example show in the .mpr name the best lap you did along with the best split/sector times, maybe even the lap when it was done. You get the idea?
Most of the .mpr's I save have the best lap I did in their names. So, I believe it would be a nice feature for us lazy racers to have to laze more and have not to go through the ass pain it takes to name them. Sometimes I lose good replays because I don't have enough time to save the replay, I save the next race instead, so this means I actually lose 2 good replays.
