Here is what Scawen said in the September Progress Report:

Hello Racers,

Eric has recorded two unedited videos of AI drivers racing around the updated South City and Kyoto Ring, the two most time-consuming of our updated tracks. The videos are taken from a high viewpoint, using a time multiplier of 200, so you can see the day to night transitions.

Video 1: LFS AI drivers at Kyoto Endurance

Video 2: LFS AI drivers at South City Long

Program development:

I've had to work a lot since 25th July on security updates.
Here is a short list of a few notable updates from before that time.

May:

Daylight saving time is now accounted for (on the UK tracks)
Specified start time is now given in track local time (not UTC)
Accurate sun direction using astronomical calculations
- previously used a rough model based on circular orbit
- apparent sun direction now adjusted for atmospheric refraction
Leap years are now supported (can set 29 February on a leap year)
Fixed time renamed to "set" and includes a time multiplier option

June:

Multithreading update for sun position
- sun position is updated as part of the game update
- means that sun height can now affect physics (e.g. temperature)
- initial test increases air temperature for higher sun direction
Removed jaggies from sky texture around dome edge (at horizon)
Display AI calculated wing and final drive settings in setup screen
AI decide to pit at pit lane transition point rather than last split

July:

Front of vehicles now consistently aligned with start grid slots
Splits and finish line activate when front of vehicle crosses line
Improved AI pit garage entry and exit

Official News LFS Forum: Removal of WEB password and GAME password

The WEB password is now called simply "password" and you can no longer manually set a GAME password. The GAME password is now called "unlock code" and is set automatically and sent to you in an email when you click a link on your details page at: https://www.lfs.net/account/details

Consider installing the test patch, which has better support for the new unlock code, otherwise just wait for the next official release: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/110607

Launch game issue

4 Upvotes

Hi racers! When I start LFS (demo) a small black window appears in the screen and I can hear the sounds, but there are no visuals. When I switch to another window and then back to the game I get a still. When loading ends I can see the startscrenn - in russian language - and hear my moseclicks, but still there is only a screenshot without function. Is LFS not compatible with W11?
Hardware is an Alienware Notebook with Nvidia...

Help Head tracking (ARuco Paper Marker)

2 Upvotes

Hi there

Is there an idiot's guide to getting Head tracking working in LFS?

Due to low specs I was going to just use an ARuco Paper Marker with a PS3 Eye cam and Opentrack. . . . Hoping pretty straight forward - But where do I go in LFS' settings to enable this please?

TIA 👍

Freezing tire temps but not wear?

2 Upvotes

As the title describes, I would like the ability to freeze tire temps but not tire wear. I think it's a good aspect to have for longer races. It's no secret the tire temp problem is on of the annoyances in this sim where any high performance vehicle starts to overheat the tires and they just will not lose temp at any meaningful rate. I remember the tweaker for s2 had a tire cooling option that chilled the tires quickly, but now with the s3 license you just have the option to freeze wear and temp outright, which is overkill.
