Update 0.8.3
This small patch contains fixes and user experience improvements. Friends list got an upgrade by supporting sorting options, so you can now sort friends based on when they were last seen online (by the app) (feature suggested by RG^Nosle (cuni)). Online hosts list and Online Racer Stats no longer crashes. Hotlap charts got some quality-of-life improvements.

New version can be downloaded in the attachments of original post.

Please try it out, and as always, if there are any crashes, please post feedback here. I hope you enjoy the update and the app overall.

Changes:

I have no such issues on two computers, neither did I have on any of PCs I have used in the past 10 years. I suppose it must be something specific that your PC does not like for some reason.

Could you please describe the major components in your PC, briefly (CPU model, GPU model, PSU model/wattage)? Just to have a clue about performance. Also, could it be that your system partition (C: probably), and/or the one LFS is installed on, is full?

Great! As for hands animation: the fixed position of the hands on wheel seem OK, but when repositioning the hand (in both directions), it crosses the wheel frame thrice. I'm not sure about limitation on number of keyframes in the Editor, but it would be great to include some more in between, to make it go around or in front of the wheel when repositioning.

When this is improved, I'm ready to increase my ratings too

Sorry for the confusion, I mixed up the XNS and the GT Turbo versions. The XNS version has no audio clipping issue.
- XNS: only issue with the hands animation
- GT-Turbo: has both audio and animation issues

Hi! On a technical side I did not find any issues, great job (popup lights are great). However, I noticed some other flaws with version 11:
- driver's hands animation: they follow a much smaller path radius than the wheel radius itself, making them intersect the wheel all the way.
- engine sound is clipping at high revs (see Shift+A in-game)

Sorry for the offtopic, but seemingly this comment of mine went unnoticed since there were other updates for the mod since then, not fixing any of them - the mod has some issues: https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/2083107#post2083107

Great van overall

Some issues I spotted:
- drive side ignored (driver still sits on the left, even if set to right)
- car shadow is wrong, like the car has a hole on the underside (probably due to an incomplete LOD2? more info: on LFS Manual)
- even with version 27, steering animation of hands seems to go through the steering wheel and looks choppy. End of animation (nearing full lock) looks OK, but until the first turn there are a lot of intersections with the wheel still

Gave some ratings to work towards that approval limit, and will definitely update them when these things are sorted out. Would also be fun to have some league races with vans only!

See: https://www.lfs.net/faq/33
and on LFSManual: https://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Introduction#Unlocking

Main takeaway: the number of available unlocks slowly refills on Fridays, up to a maximum of 2. The limit of 2 might not be correct, since there were some changes recently which granted extra unlocks (I don't precisely remember), but the main thing is, it refills constantly so over time you can always unlock your LFS on your PC.

you'll have to be more specific than that (what device? what lfs version? did anything change prior to axis becoming "not working", in terms of other devices? when you try moving the axes, can you see the device axes moving in the Windows control panel? can you see them moving in-LFS: Options/Controls/Axes? if yes to both, are they still assigned to the function on the left? which function? can you even see the device name in the top right in-LFS: Options/Controls?)

Something clearly happened on your side (e.g. PC or your local install of LFS), since no remote side can affect these things, and things like this just don't happen miraculously
