Auto clutch has always been a sort of gentleman's agreement in LFS. There are 2 sides to every argument but when it has a very clear advantage, even in a car with only 4 gears and a track with only 2 real corners, it should either be recommended or disallowed. So long as everyone knows what the accepted clutch method is, there can be no argument.

I'm firmly in the AC camp because BC feels unrealistic and cheaty.

I got S1 13 years ago yesterday

As had been highlighted above, you're unlikely to be able to fix this easily.

Is there a hardcore racing community in LFS?

Yes.

Quote :

but I have never seen a dedicated league to pure racing here

Wat?:

Wait what. I don't recall hindering anyone after the end.

Edit: Ok, so on rewatch I hit Jared on my victory lap. This is worth a 1 lap penalty? In a derby event? That's no fun.

Meaddie finished 3rd in the Bonus Run because he hit all the hidden objects in the tires. Shame about the text disappearing though.

I was gonna say, I'm fairly sure I won the bonus run

Shame about the text, Rony. Regardless, thanks for the effort you put in as always.

I won't be able to make it today, Rony, sorry about that.

Quote from Ibtasim6781 :

Still, whats the problem of it? Blackwood and Westhill are British circuits (cant remember if BL was real or fictional). Nothing will make the game different for having RHD maps or LHD maps. It depends of what the devs think of, either british or european.

The only real track in LFS is Rockingham, the rest are fictional.

Just pointing out that this patch, like 0.6P, overwrote the following files:

- data/sound/sirenfast.wav
- data/sound/sirenslow.wav

This environment is a masterpiece.

The kerbs in Q13 are now bearable. I just hope a quick-fix like this comes along for kerbs like WE1R T2 some time in the not so distant future. Thank you.

Quote from Flame CZE :

Which pixel is the new Blackwood?

Haha.

Quote from k_badam :

Textures only change time of loading, as they are all loaded when you select the track/join a server.

Johnny, I believe that the curbs should work much better when the new tyre physics are, which, look like they could be out soon.

Indeed. This track, plus all of the other ones that Eric has been working on have been developed with the new tyre physics. I did a few laps of GP in various cars last night and the kerbs really were a problem when I hit the sweet-spot where the tyre-glitches happen. I can only assume that the glitches we currently experience with the current tyre physics have been alleviated with the new physics else we would be seeing fewer of these types of kerbs rather than more. Until the new tyre physics head our way, we're going to need to approach the kerbs with as much caution as do for WE1R T2 etc.

I laughed a lot when I saw this.

Is this a bug, Scawen?: When you go into Free View via the escape menu, the chat goes slightly transparent. When you go into Free View via shift+u directly, the chat stays opaque.

If you hit escape after entering Free View via the escape menu, the chat goes back to being opaque.

I did not expect yet another update to BL. Looking forward to trying this out tonight . Super work!

Can confirm.

Quote from Scawen :

I think that is because of a VOB mod.

I saw it occur when an MRT wing mirror became significantly damaged. I saw this error spam chat on CityDriving and had to pitlane the person causing it to stop it happening. I'll try and find the replay/reproduce it. It might happen with other cars too but I can't confirm.

Quote from Scawen :

I'm interested to hear a description of why anyone would want the map rotating. Otherwise I'd just be deliberately coding a mistake.

Obviously, if it really looks dodgy when the new open-config maps rotate, I appreciate your decision to not rotate it. But when it has already been an option in the game for 15 years, a lot of people will have got used to it and will expect it to be an option going forward.

I personally do not use a rotating map but I know that many people in the cruising community use it for the reasons pik_d has just highlighted.

When I used to cruise, I used the rotating map because I was more easily able to discern what the traffic was doing around me, at junctions, roundabouts and just generally on regular roads.

Quote from Scawen :

I deliberately avoided the rotation of the open config map. The individual race track maps do still rotate if the option is selected, and I can see that may be helpful if you want to see the corners ahead of you. But having the open map rotating is quite undesirable and confusing so I thought it would be better not to allow it. Also, without rotation, the map can be made to fit exactly into the available part of the screen. If it was allowed to rotate, some parts might go off the screen or over some text.

A lot of people, especially those in the cruise community, still use map rotation. Since there is still the option to enable/disable map rotation, would it hurt to leave the option available for open configs?

Make on the mini map yellow flag zones.
Look like this:

A demo user that made a good suggestion. I've seen it all...

Quote from MandulAA :

Yep it does persist between a Q and a R session, also between multiple race sessions. Tested on WE1 offline.

Quote from Scawen :

The rubber resets now take place on these events:

- Exit from in-game
- Start or restart replay

Excellent, thank you.

Does rubber persist between a qualifying and race session too as well as between races? Unable to check at the moment.

Top stuff. When I get a new hard drive I'll stash a copy

I lost this layout years ago, glad you posted this Sin'r. Cheers
