Minor thing with AIs. If AIs are added ingame with /ai command, all of them use same colours, same as 1st AI added with "Add AI driver" button on setup screen.

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

When you false start, the drive through penalty msg appears. If you then stop and false start again, it appears again. It appears however many times you stop and creep fwd before the green, but of course only one drive through is truly issued.

Also, if you already have 30 or 45 sec time penalty from false start, then you can't get it for speeding in pitlane. In case of 45 sec penalty nothing happens, and if you have 30 already, can drive up to 100 kmh. That noticed in single player.

This maybe is improvement suggestion (sorry then ), but shouldn't penalties add up? That is, if you have already drive through, and then get another, it would turn into stop&go, if have stop & go already and get another, should stop for longer etc.

BTW, names for views in poll are confusing. By outer car view you mean follow view I guess? Overhead = heli? And what does "all wheels" mean?

Actually this was happening to me also, while using old mozilla (more asterisks appear in pw field). Had to attempt login 2-3 times until it worked. Now with Firefox some asterisks jump out of nowhere also when I hit enter but login actually works every time.

Only ever seen this on liveforspeed.net, so there must be smth special about it.

As subject says, no registered name is shown on ctrl + shift, name goes blank instead. This is like that quite long time already, I remember it used to work in S1 at least.

Also, if replay is restarted, controller type (W, M, etc) next to name disappears.

Heh OK, it just seemed to me bit like random pickup race on public server, given the number of unsuccessful chicane exits.

Kinda noobish driving there, I wonder if that was intentional, were drivers told to drive over the limit and/or cause accidents?

Another thing, I recommend using some sort of limiter on commentators voices, was hard to hear at times.

Otherwise impressive.

Maybe it's me but I find it hard to do more than 2-3 laps with RB4 at full speed until tyres overheat too much. Perhaps I don't have good setups but RB4 only seems to be competetive in very short races.

Quote from shim :

...have a dialog come up saying

"wrong gear selected, please change to first gear"

Right, and then before turns:

"Your speed is too high, please use brakes!"

Quote from the_angry_angel :

It's simply the executables which have been patched with the current LFS master server address. No other changes have been made.

Really? I tried that and it didn't work.

Any moderators on this forum?

In overtaking lessons, some players actions affect the PRO AI. If lesson starts with auto gears on, and then shift + G is pressed, PRO can't change gears any more, and player still is in automatic. Only first shift + G press seems to work this way though, subsequent presses do nothing. Also, if player drives over speed limit in pitlane, it's PRO who receives penalty.

And shift + G press currently also stops replay recording, which causes lesson to never end and not possible to end it with Esc or shift + X either. Only way to get out without killing LFS process is if there is "/end" set to some F key.

Also, after starting any lessons, strategy for fuel/tyres is reset to 50%/50%/30%.

Soon 1 year anniversary for this suggestion. Worth a bump maybe.

Got crash with W, was hosting online game with layout on KY3, race ended, clicked "end online game" and LFS crashed right away, address 0x0000000000050001.

Quote from funnybone2 :

would it be a good idea?its been in my head for awhile

You keep talking about leagues & stuff, while your stats say you have so far finished 1 (ONE) race. A bit funny, isn't it?

Quote from Victor :

alternative :

LFSW - wr by <username>, set on 1 Mar 2007
LFSW - s1 1:23:456 - s2 1:23:456 - s3 1:23:456 - L 1:23:456

Second line perhaps clearer this way:

LFSW - WR laptime 4:44.444 (1:11.111 - 2:22.222 - 3:33.333)

Also WR in upper case please, it's an acronym. BTW, why is there 64 char limit, anyway?

Quote from Blowtus :

/carsmax 23 allows for 23 *racers*.

And does this actually work?

Quote from NeilPearson :

I want to go back to the original V sounds, how could i do this, whilest maintaining all the features of test patch 8?

Guess just copy data/engine/*_default.eng files from V to V8. Maybe also shift + A, click PACK, type 'default'.

Was on BL1 with layout, pressed shift + U and LFS crashed, address: 0x000000000041dd13.

Not latest test patch but maybe helpful... LFS 0.5V2, windowed (at the moment of crash it was hidden under other windows), shift+U mode, connected to LFS director, playing replay of race on FE4R. Crash address: 0x00000000004aa9b2.

I understand that all this smoothness in those games is kinda fake - cars are driven by AI with occasional correction from players driving, so to say. Is this superior? Don't think so. That doesn't mean that prediction could not be improved in LFS.

But yes replays would be easy to smoothen, as there program already knows next position.

Quote from nesrulz :

btw, what is this?

Methinks it's a nice fat DOT.

BTW, one thing I noticed about V3. If race is over, and just doing laps (starting after finish), now if you complete same number of laps as race was, it will display FINISHED. Didn't happen before.

It's quite obviously FR = front, RE = rear, LE = left, RI = right.

Hehe so it comes up again. Well... Please both mirror and look back for chase view!
