Nope... the black line is a hidden track.

Anyway, whats up on the testpatch-front. Its quiet. Scawen just enjoying his new-born, or working on a new major update?

I'm sure he's sunbathing outside. Somebody donate a laptop and wifi, work will get done!

haha great thread, the number of cry babies is bigger than ever!

Patch Y is all you need if you like racing!
LFS should be its own OS, racing hardcore!

Quote from ussbeethoven :

That's strange, because placing barriers in corners where AI cars run off road worked in pre-X30. I did that for example in the last turn of KY Long Rev and they changed their path more or less (however, didn't helped continously and everytime) in FZ5 et cetera.

Offroad isn't on there path I think, it's pretty normal they learn to stay on their path (and the road?)

Not trying to argue, just checking

I always thought that AI could generate there own path? They learn.. (okay they do, but read on)

I tried something out.. Placed a barrier JUST on their racing line in a (slow) corner, it tipped their back and they sometimes spun out, some AI could correct it.. Kept them going for around 50 laps but they didn't learn that driving 'there' isn't best practice..

Am i asking too much from the AI path learning?

I'm not sure where i should place this (AI or interface or physics?)

So i'm doing it here..

I was testing out the new 'tyre wall' on FE rallycross (the long, normal layout) I noticed the AI took .7% per lap (and so states in the setup screen) I was slightly faster but with 1% fuel usage.. Don't think a couple of seconds per lap makes me consume .3% more than the 'average'?

I wasn't able to check the real consumption of the AI, just because you can't view fuel consumption from your competitors..

Anyway, check it out.

Cya

and lets get on with some bugs..

After a race today I had no more fuel left so I was just standing on the track with the engine off. Somebody hit me quite hard from behind and my car flipped, when flipped over EVERY movement of ANY (steering, throttle, brake) axis of my controller would magically make my car go around 80kmh. (still upside down). My wheels turned, also rpm went up.

Cya, and congrats on the new the car, it's a winner!

there are external programs to monitor this,

LFS is a game not a motherboard utility..

Quote from Shotglass :

try kicking against your rims irl ... the car will wobble a little but it will damp itself a lot faster

That's why I said 'some', I'm currently working at a volvo garage in brussels. And i noticed today that the S60 wobbles when the driver got out of it, I't wasn't the suspension moving ( id lifted a bit )
It's just a bit heavy in LFS because the model Isn't perfect, we knew that

A test track would be cool to setup suspension, heavy banks, bumpy roads ( really bumpy ) cobblestones ( or how do you call that middle-age roads again? ) heavy banked corners, steep hils.. Like a test track for normal road cars before they get sold..

if you *would be* able to steer that fast irl, you would also have some wobble

Hello,

I was playing around with my wheel today. And I noticed that any software should be possiblle of making it move left / right ( DUH ! illepall) ( not vibrating ).
So why can't we make replays where the wheel moves like you drove it?
Would be great at presentations or smt, just set a couple of pc's there with driving AI and moving steering wheels

Just a thing that flashed trough my mind

OT: haha, I just found out that you can press all the buttons of your Momo Racing in the overview in the configuration screen totally wack ! the Vortex thing is illepall it wobbles

with the F1 we know why they made the long Aston GT, with the downforce and HP of the F1 those corners would feel great !

Haha, prolly not... Buy the game ! Now! ( maybe it becomes more expensive because of licenses? hihi )

Quote from kamkorPL :

I guess that also means no patch today? I'm not sure if there is any point in awaiting something.

So true, gonna get a life again.. bye bye

Hmm, Tihnk the patch is gonna be to late.. I'm less interested every second They started to early with giving teasers

shit, got a F5 finger.. I just pressed F5 in my msn window

it's allmost 01:00 ( board time )
would they release

Doing some quick maintenance - brb

wtf?

Thx!

*edit, crap i use much of those :-p smiley's !

Quote from XCNuse :

i cant do it because i know i cant recreate that exact same picture without increasign fov to as high as it can go.. thats not what that screenshot is.. that screenshot has a low FOV.. the one net just posted here has a huge FOV

had to resize his picture to about 25% of its original size (maybe smaller, its a huuuuuuuuge picture) [hope you dont mind kid]

Can you upload that file in .psd ? I wanna scale it down for a background for my dual screen setup.. or can you jpg it in 2560*1024? ( with crop? )

thx

okay okay, we know they aren't lights.. go to bed, tomorrow..

Pleaso don't do stupid things, shooter games are the one to blaim for suicidal kids, let's keep it that way..

( Don't go running in front of cars or something )
