the link that the above directs you to (for the download of Tweak) doesn't work. I'm gettin 'page was not found' kinda thing. what happened? where can I get tweak, now?

Also, here's another idea--something I think would be really handy:

It seems kinda standard (among racing simulators/games) to include a historical database display of personal track times.

Inclusion of a 'Results' or 'History' page with various data fields would be great--display:
- driver
- track ID
- track times (lap times and overall times)
- number of laps
- conditions (e.g., wind, number of players/AI, setup, etc.)
- penalties incurred

This would allow the user to look back at all past performance, and note their personal progress over time (hopefully :razz

Additionally, maybe these stats could be used in multi-player arenas which require certain experience levels (determined by track times, as is often the case) for driver participation.

I think this would be a lot better than using an external program, or someone's clunky post-release add-on.

Quote from amp88 :

Increasing timing precision to thousandths of seconds has been discussed a bit before. The problem is that to have an accurate position every 1000th of a second the physics loop would have to run at 1000Hz (an increase of 10x the current rate). This would further increase the burden on the CPU, which is already fairly heavy. The increase in precision (which would definitely be useful in certain scenarios especially) is desirable, but not if it comes at the expense of requiring much more powerful PCs to run LFS.

I'm no computer science major, but what if you made a modification to the timing function which only recorded in 10^-3 sec increments when it was deemed necessary as per scenario (e.g., during qualification, if the program estimates that the final difference in drivers' recorded times will be less than some threshold (say, 0.02sec) begin recording in thousandths. Of course, this potentially lag-inducing procedure would only be initiated in the last 0.03sec, or so, before crossing the finish line. If lag were to result, the time interval over which it occurs would be too short to be of any consequence to driver experience/technique).

Anyway, that's my two cents on the problem--no idea if it's feasible. Like I said, I'm not really a programmer.

Hey guys,

the absolute best would be the inclusion of: (in priority order, first is most desirable)

- One or two Le Mans Prototypes (say, maybe one closed cockpit and one open; after Formula One, this is absolutely my most favorite race event)
- Baja style trucks and/or buggies (with an appropriate off-road course or two)
- More in the GTR class (think, something like Audi R8, Porsche Carrera GT)

also..I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this, but maybe S3 could include some method of statistics/data saving and viewing within the program without the use of some clunky add-on.
