I was watching the MP replays I saved from my races last night with a friend, and I realised again how much distortion there can be in the vehicle paths - My own car suffered from this lagging aswell!

Just wondered if it would be possible for the devs to impliment a sort of smoothing feature, which could help to iron these bugs out of replays. I understand why this occurs, but it would be nice to remove/reduce the effect in replays. This would be especially nice for movies

I'm not a coder by any means, but I was thinking it could sort of predict the car's path, compare the trajectory before and after the little lag glitch, and re-route the car in the replay file.

I know this would probably take a lot of coding, and would not be high on the priorities list, but it would be a nice little feature for S3

1. Lfs does use prediciton when viewing mpr-files. It actually also uses prediction while driving online (which is kind of a streaming mpr).
2. The mpr should exactly reflect the game-situation as it was when the race was going on. That is good for reviewing a race and finding out who did something bad and who didn't.
3. There is demand to not have the exact situation replayed, but a smoothed-out replay that can be used for videos, etc.
4. My suggestion is to default to smoothed mpr-replays, but incorporate a command to LFS that sets the smoothing to zero, so the exact situation as it occured to the player on the mashine can be reviewed for leagues.
