Updated translations - thank you translators<br />
<br />
New commands :<br />
/zero_all<br />
- Reset all lap counters and checkpoints passed as if the race had<br />
just been started. This removes checkpoints passed.<br />
So using this command on the first lap, before the first<br />
checkpoint is passed, has no effect. After the first<br />
checkpoint there is an effect. The first lap will not be<br />
counted. This is intended to help with a rolling start after<br />
a parade lap.<br />
<br />
/setlap username X<br />
- X is positive : Set the lap that the user is currently on (as<br />
seen at the top right, not the number of laps completed). This<br />
does not affect checkpoints passed. This may help with a driver<br />
who reconnects after an unintended disconnection.<br />
- X is zero : Same as the /zero_all command but for one driver.<br />
- X is negative : subtract from the number of laps, without<br />
affecting checkpoints passed. This may be useful as a penalty.

Open Configurations :<br />
As part of the development for the Westhill track update that is<br />
still in development, the support for Open track configurations<br />
has been improved. When possible, LFS now uses a suitable path<br />
from one of the default configurations so these things work :<br />
<br />
- Hidden object removal gives high frame rates<br />
- Lighting system now works so that car looks correct in shadow<br />
- Echo maps are used so the sound changes depending on location<br />
<br />
The X (forward) and Y (reversed) open configuration selection<br />
buttons are now visible on the track selection screen.<br />
<br />
Hidden object removal :<br />
The visible objects are now detected using a much better method<br />
than in older versions. Visible object files for the existing<br />
tracks are provided in the patch. You should find there is now<br />
very little pop-up of objects, but still with a high frame rate.<br />
<br />
The visible object lists for the TV cameras are now stored in a<br />
separate list per camera rather than being path based. So you<br />
should no longer see objects disappearing occasionally when using<br />
the replay / TV cameras.<br />
<br />
Misc :<br />
Collision detection improved near the ends of long objects<br />
<br />
Translations :<br />
Updated Italian, Lithuanian, Russian and Ukrainian translations<br />
Updated Brazilian Portuguese version of docs\Commands.txt<br />

== 0.5Z25 ==
''Oct 28, 2009''<br />
<br />
Improved multiple monitor and curved screen support :<br />
The number of left and right screens can be manually entered in the View Options screen and you can set the angle between monitors.<br />
If you specify more than one screen, multiple views are rendered in different directions. This allows much wider fields of view.<br />
2 screens - maximum FOV 180 degrees<br />
3 screens - maximum FOV 270 degrees<br />
4 or more screens - maximum FOV 360 degrees<br />
The FOV slider does not set the total field of view. Instead, you set the FOV of the main screen. LFS then calculates each screen's field of view and offset according to your settings.<br />
Use "Screen angle" setting to specify the angle between monitors.<br />
Use "View offset" to move the steering wheel off centre.<br />
There are three separate sets of settings that are used depending on the screen size :<br />
<br />
Screen width 3.75 times the height -> wide mode (default 3 screen)<br />
Screen width 2.5 times the height -> medium mode (default 2 screen)<br />
Otherwise normal (single screen) mode is active (default 1 screen)<br />
<br />
These three sets all have the same available settings but different default values. This is so that if you have a wide screen setup then LFS will still look good when you reduce it to a normal window, because at that point it will automatically use "normal" mode.<br />
<br />
To reproduce the old single projection 3 three screen mode, either - set the number of left and right screens to zero, or - set left and right screens to 1 and set "Screen angle" to zero.<br />
A curved screen can be supported by setting the number of left and right screens to the maximum of 5 each. This 11 screen setup is an approximate cylindrical projection, ideal for curved screens.<br />
<br />
Various other setups can now be properly supported, for example :<br />
- A 2 screen setup with side screen at 30 degrees and offset wheel<br />
- A 5 screen setup with each screen at 45 degrees - total FOV 225<br />
- A 3 projector setup with each screen at 90 degrees - total FOV 270<br />
<br />
Note :<br />
External views (TV, helicopter and SHIFT+U mode) are always drawn as a single render and usually confined to the 2D interface area.<br />
<br />
Related settings :<br />
Option to force external views to use full width<br />
Bezel compensation - to allow for the gap between monitors<br />
Screen widths - for centre and side screens with a different width<br />
<br />
Other changes to view system :<br />
Two button look (left + right) is now double the one button look and this allows up to 180 degrees look (like old versions of LFS).<br />
Rear look (instant 180 degree view from centre of car) is now the same on all cars (no longer shows a virtual mirror) but is disallowed if the host activates forced cockpit view.<br />
Driving view Z-buffering improved so you should not usually see missing parts of your seat or the car body when looking around.<br />
Mouse steer/look/axes now relative to interface (not entire screen)<br />
New command : /view save - save any changes made to a custom view<br />
New command : /view reload - reload a custom view without saving<br />

<br />
Changes in the multiple monitor support system :<br />
New slider : Screen angle - to set the angle between monitors<br />
New slider : View offset - to move the steering wheel off centre<br />
The FOV slider no longer sets the total FOV. Instead, you set the<br />
FOV of the main screen. LFS then calculates all the necessary<br />
fields of view and offsets per screen according to your settings.<br />
This allows a much wider range of setups. You can use a wider<br />
field of view without needing to set your monitors to an extreme<br />
angle. The new settings also make a dual monitor setup usable.<br />
<br />
Other updates :<br />
Option to force external views to use full width<br />
Connections list is now shown in alphabetical order<br />
New key : SHIFT+Z to show the mouse cursor when it would be hidden<br />

<br />
2 screens - maximum FOV 180 degrees<br />
3 screens - maximum FOV 270 degrees<br />
4 or more screens - maximum FOV 360 degrees<br />
<br />
As before, there are two separate sets of settings. Wide mode<br />
becomes active when the screen width is 3 or more times the height.<br />
Normal mode and wide mode have all the same settings, but normal<br />
mode defaults to 1 screen, while wide mode defaults to 3 screens.<br />
<br />
The old single projection 3 three screen mode can be reproduced by<br />
setting the number of left and right screens to zero.<br />
A curved screen can be supported by setting the number of left and<br />
right screens to the maximum of 5 each. This 11 screen setup is<br />
an approximate cylindrical projection, ideal for curved screens.<br />

New Car Filter System (List of Games Screen) <br />
<br />
The car filters help you find the host you want. <br />
<br />
The QUICK method of using the filters : <br />
<br />
Use the car class buttons on the right of the screen to <br />
quickly set several car filters. ALL is the default. <br />
<br />
For fine tuning or manual operation : <br />
<br />
Click on the vertical car names in the list of games. <br />
You can set them to GREY, BLUE or RED. <br />
<br />
GREY : You don't mind if this car is enabled or not <br />
BLUE : This car MUST be available on the host <br />
RED : This car must NOT be available on the host <br />
<br />
- Leave most of them GREY (the default colour) <br />
- The cars you want to use, set them to BLUE <br />
- Use RED only for cars you really don't want to see <br />
<br />
Guests : please do join empty hosts - people will join! <br />
Hosts : please don't allow all cars, if possible. <br />
<br />
<br />
Restart Vote Limitations (for hosts and administrators) <br />
<br />
/rstmin=60 : No RESTART votes for 60 seconds after start <br />
/rstend=30 : No RESTART votes for 30 seconds after finish <br />
Also, no restarts after finish if 2 people are still racing <br />

S2 Demo ALPHA released<br />
Demo content only with numerous improvements from 0.3<br />

== 0.3H6 ==
''March 3, 2005''<br />
<br />
PATCH H6 fixes an old bug that showed up massively in PATCH H5<br />
<br />
This old bug, when combined with the H5 optimisation, could cause<br />
cars to fall underground, specially the front end of the MRT5.<br />
<br />

== 0.3H5 ==
''March 2, 2005''<br />
<br />
PATCH H5 is mainly to test an improvement in frame rate when online.<br />
<br />
1) Reduced CPU usage in remote car collision detection<br />
2) Smoothed the motion of the car squares on the small map display<br />
3) Fixed the flashing cars on the boundary of multiplayer draw distance<br />

== 0.3H4 ==
''Feb 25, 2005''<br />
<br />
The main purpose of PATCH H4 is to test another attempted bug fix.<br />
<br />
The rare "car stops and flickers when someone else leaves the pits" bug<br />
still comes up.  There's no known way to reproduce the bug at will,<br />
so it's very hard to find and fix.<br />
<br />
This patch includes extra protection for the bug, and shows various <br />
red error messages if the bug is found and corrected.<br />
<br />
1) Extra protection for the car flickering bug<br />
2) Fix for a possible crash<br />
3) RAF output : spring / dampc / dampr / brake corrected : int -> float<br />

== 0.3H3 ==
''Ocz 19, 2004''<br />
<br />
1) Sometimes, some objects could flicker rapidly on and off.  An example<br />
was at South City Long, before turning right at the corner after the<br />
hairpin, a traffic light on the right would flicker on and off.<br />
<br />
This patch reprocesses the draw lists when loading a track, and should<br />
eliminate most cases of objects that vanish for a moment.<br />
<br />
2) When exiting from the multiplayer section soon after getting a list<br />
of games, sometimes you would be forced to wait for several seconds<br />
while watching a message "Closing X connects".<br />
<br />
This patch asks windows to terminate the connects immediately, so in<br />
most cases you should not see this message again.<br />

== 0.3H2 ==
''Oct 12, 2004''<br />
<br />
1) Sometimes, you can receive corrupted UDP packets.  In some cases this <br />
could cause a rare bug where your own car would start flickering from<br />
one side of the track to the other for a while.<br />
<br />
This patch contains a few lines of extra code in an attempt to stop this<br />
happening.  When the bug would have come up, LFS displays a message in<br />
red : "Corrupted UDP Packet".<br />

1) Scrutineering is permanently on - this means that players with cars<br />
that have been modified can only link up with other players with the<br />
exact same modifications.  The aim of this is to exclude cheating players<br />
while still allowing modified players to connect online.  Forcing the<br />
cars to be equal is also essential for the multiplayer prediction.<br />
<br />
2) More info on the List of Games screen - when you see a host that is<br />
version D, the letters F, R and T signify the host's allowed cars:<br />
F:XF GTI - R:XR GT - T:XR GT TURBO<br />
<br />
