Quote from Scawen :I think it is like that until you unlock. For demo racers there's an extra screen suggesting they buy a license.

True...didnt notice I have to unlock it again in 06D after unlocking in 06C

Quote from Scawen :I don't really know what you mean. There shouldn't be a change. Anyway for a quck exit from anywhere you can press ALT+F4.

After you press exit in the menu there are 2 screens appearing and you have to click on them to disappear and to be able to leave the game. Now it wont exit when I click on it with mouse, I have to press esc.

I updated from 06C to 06D, don't know if fresh install would make it go back to normal as it was in 06B. But its not a big thing, it was easier that way though.

Not a bid deal but when I want to leave LFS and press exit in the menu two mouseclicks doesnt throw me back to windows as it used to in 06B now you have to press esc also. Should it work this way?

Quote from Scawen :

I don't think there is a way to clear the laps without a /restart. It seems like a good idea though, something like a restart but without moving anyone. So you can start a race after a parade lap.


Parade lap is warm up lap before race? If that one could be implemented somehow it would be great. Even that "restart without moving anyone" is welcome, but is it hard to code that the sim checks if every racer is close enough to his starting point on the grid and after that it starts the race automatically?

Quote from PMD9409 :

I give them credit for putting a more stable tire out this build, but please don't tell me the car is canned...

Oh and 4% max tire wear after 20 laps of F1, please. Bridgestones were tough, but nothing should be that tough.

There are still issues no doubt, but it feels much better than before.
As Dave said tire wear is right now, but don't forget tire wear and degradation are two different things and degradation isnt implemented yet.

Grant Reeve staff forum post regarding temperature readings:
"To clarify on the generic description in Dave's quoted comment, the 3 measured temperatures we show are purely from the width of the tread surface, the sidewalls have their own temperatures and are completely seperate.

From what I can tell when I've looked at the tire temp "measurement" code, it looks perfectly reasonable. That the results aren't quite what people expect is more I think an indicator that parts of the NTM aren't quite spreading load over the surface as ideally as we would like due to certain simplifications of the overall shape of the tire that Dave would like to improve eventually that means the center is generally doing more work than the edges, and I suspect a little too much rolling drag heat at speed which pushes up the center temp.


It's all work in progress, and will get better over time. But this whole process is purely research - can't get it done in a month, patience is a virtue. It's taken 3+ years to get the NTM to here and will keep improving and getting better for
years to come.

Those who are recommending to just figure out what the tires like are on the right track. "


Eric Hudec staff forum post:
"That's because our temps at those slips don't affect the tires enough. That'll change though. "

Interesting... wondering that how much resources lfs needs tire physics wise or will need ( if Scawen needs to optimise it to the current pc's as somewhere was written )

"GameSpy: You've referred to the NTM as a simulation within a simulation, which implies that there's going to be quite a lot of CPU cycles devoted to it. Does it have any impact on performance?
Dave Kaemmer: It probably has a slight impact. The case is that the physics takes a very few percent of the CPU time and as the CPUs get faster that percentage falls. Most of the CPU is devoted to graphics and audio and all the other bookkeeping. You've got to do some physics for all the other cars that you see and the network stuff and everything, so it's actually a pretty small percentage."

Anyway fixing bugs gets the priority. I have found one, the car started to rotate on his own when i stopped it, while tyres were standing still. I sent em a report and 1 week after a patch came out which fixed it.

Else: there is a paint contest in iR, if you like my skin pls gimme 1 vote
Mine is the bottom one, G. Kiss

Is it possible to check if the qualy lap was driven by mx cup or roadster at qualifying results? It would be interesting to see what kind of cars are in the first 10 fastest lap @LRP.

I've got that 3 month re-activation a month ago, i renewed few days ago so i've got 3 month to play now, but i've checked my mail today and i see they sent another one It expires 11/30/2010 so i can do nothing with it. I hope they send me another one 3 month later

I don't know the exact name of it but it is the nissan gtr's wheel.

The wheels are fully modelled by me, i've already showed pictures of it earlier.

Quote from anik360 :Re-modeled an older BBS rim c&c welcome. Gamma clamped at 1.0. BTW nice Sirocco environment is at the right levels to not make the render crappy.

I recommend u to use gamma 2.2 it simply gives more detailed reflections. Nice model tho

Quote from macfox :what's sadly missed are those type of teaser videos or screenshots, showing progress, new tracks and features, even if they aren't final or still buggy. They only take minutes to make and deliver a big hit of enthusiasm to the community, which at this point is greatly need.
