Quote from teppari :

It checks if there are updates but Lazy doesn´t notice that new version somehow..

Because it's a test version not the "official" update?

Quote from numbazZ :

... FOV set to maximum 90 degrees, so why it is only 90 degree limit, when if using only one screen you can set all the way up to 160 degrees, which is useless

I have already asked this question. But got no answer. :-(

Quote :

If you select "Automatic" then the text to the left of "Automatic" will state the default vertical FOV (rounded to 1 degree).

I've got 76° in "Automatic" mode!

Feedback to online racing with 0.6T6:
Everything works fine to us! 2 different races with the Formular V8 and 5 AIs and MRT5 and 2 AIs. Driving with AI is much better then before. Thanks for that update!

Ow :-( OK - Thanks for the answer.

Quote :

But what is the default FOV from the AntVR?

Sorry for the late response: Technical? That should be 110°. But the driver/controller software is very bad. Can I read that value somewhere? Through SteamVR?

It takes the culling from the default input values, and for some reasons it might be a bit tricky to change, or a bit too risky at this point.

No problem - That "issue" is not important enough to me. Let it be.

Quote :

We hope to release a new full version tomorrow so I want to keep any more changes very small.

Sounds very exciting - What does that mean? You release test patch 0.6T6 tomorrow including graphics update?????

It's because this headset doesn't have a positional tracking like Vive or other headsets have. This system use a special "carpet" to track such movements. But if I drive a car, that system is completely useless. There is no real room scaling as for example at Vive instead.

For example I can't lean outside the window nor can I look closer to the dashboard. This movementation aren't tracked. I can of course look around (up/down, left/right), but nothing else. Sounds worse than it is. ;-)

It does not really matter. If you find a (simple) solution: great; if not, that's also good.

A test with the AntVR Transformers (VR Headset) works still fine, too.

Thanks for the update

But I have following issue (current version 0.6T and with this/latest test patch 0.6T5):
If I change the vertical field of view of the headset from automatic to around 83° (or higher), objects on the edge flickers. Perhaps a better description is that objects are faded in/out too early/late. That pretty much irritates. At around 80° it is still OK. It is difficult to describe this effect. :-) Perhaps you can reproduce that with an other headset? But that could be simply an issue from the AntVR headset, too.

Thank you Scawen for your answer (only Host update; works fine)

I'm using Avast too but the commercial/business version (Avast Business Antivirus Pro). I don't get any warning for that exe file. Perhaps you have enabled "Scan for potentially unwanted programs (PUPs)" and/or "Enable Hardened Mode" with the option "Aggressive"?

But: I can not reproduce that behavior with these enabled options, too.

Stupid question:
Can I update the host to version 0.6T3 without updating the clients, too?
If I understand this (host) test patch correctly, "Server side improvement that should run smoother when there is lag" is a improvment of the host not of the client, right?

Perhaps that could change if the cars will be updated (after track graphic update is done/released)? We will hope.

Perhaps this links can help to get the required files/archives?

Live for Speed has in terms of dedicated host solutions in my view the nose ahead! Why does "high gloss" racing sims need 20gb and more data for a "simple" dedicated host (like ac, pc, ams)? LFS host also runs smoothly under linux.

Great work!

Hello Devs

Since months we can upload higher resolution skins (2048) and helmet (1024). But when will this also be released for download?

On the upload page following text is still displayed. What prevents you from releasing?

Quote :

LFS currently supports downloading skins of up to 1024 * 1024, but we want to increase this to 2048 * 2048 in the future.

Thanks
Pasci

PS: Hm... I have already ask this question 2 years ago. :-) https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/88165

Thanks for the update of your current work

@Scawen:
Currently track updates are in work, after that (hopefully) the car models get updates... do you plan an update for the sound system / engine sounds, too?

@Eric: Once again: very impressive work and another big step for the look and visual appeal of Live for Speed. Can not wait to finally get on the "new" tracks / layouts.

@Degats: Many thanks for very useful comparsion links

For Linux users it will be helpful if the file extensions are all in lower case. :-)


After renaming that files this problem is fixed.
> mv drifttop.LPR drifttop.lpr
> mv layoutlist.LPR layoutlist.lpr
> mv usertop.LPR usertop.lpr

But after that I get following exception. :-(


Any idea whats going wrong?

With Chrome (68.0.3440.106) I see the same error and also with current Firefox version (61.0.2).

Not only for cars but for tracks too.

Quote from Degats :

...

Thank you for your extensive explantation - That help me to understand such things a little better.

Quote from Scawen :

... then this opens the possibility of working on separate physics and graphics threads.

Probably a stupid question, but I have no experience in programming threads:

More threads means not multi-core support. Threads are (only) sub processes of the main process? Correct?

Will multi-core be supported by LFS in the future? What are your plans for multi-core or is this already one of the items on your work list?

The background of this question is that currently my CPU or their clock limits the performance with a big AI (>20) field. Not really critical at the moment but perhaps after the graphic/shadow system update? No idea if that could be related. Do I just have to be patient when you release the next version or should I look for a higher-clocked, newer CPU (anyway)? ;-) Currently I'm using an (old) i7-2600K with 3.4 GHz.

BTW: Thanks for the two screenshots. I am very much looking forward to further pictures.

Quote from Victor :

Unfortunately that's not a quick solution, but one that can be realised if I can find some free time (or maybe it can be a community effort? I've no problems making it an open source project ... it'll be javascript anyway, so it's open by default )

thanks for the review - for me that's OK.

Do you not have already a HTML5 version? Is not ready yet? Perhaps it is enough (with handycaps) then nothing? :-)

Small please: Can someone of the devs reset the activation counter or release one possible activation for my account? If not, I can also wait until friday. - Thanks anyway

Are any InSim connection issues known?

The Insim connection (through LFS World > Racers & Hosts online > Insim Relay) to my dedicated server still failed. But if I try a tool outside it reports that my Insim port is open. Perhaps an issue on LFS World side?

Switzerland, Zurich Connected 0.039 seconds

Used tool/website: https://check-host.net/check-tcp

The firewall rule isn't limited to a specified IP. Everyone can connect to the Insim port.

Quote from krakilin12 :

Thanks for the reply, that seems to be a very small Dev team.
I suppose they don't have more so to keep employment costs at a low.
Very impressive what a 3 member Dev team did over these years

This information is published on the website too.
https://www.lfs.net/about

I'm just reading lament here. The test patch thread is hardly planned for this. Can you do that not elsewhere?

Play something else if you do not like the current progress of LFS.

Scawen: When do you intend to release this version? Do you add still any other (editor) features here?
