| − | + | Open Configurations :<br /> | |
<br /> | <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 /> | <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 /> | <br /> | ||
| − | + | The X (forward) and Y (reversed) open configuration selection<br /> | |
| + | buttons are now visible on the track selection screen.<br /> | ||
<br /> | <br /> | ||
| − | + | Hidden object removal :<br /> | |
<br /> | <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 /> | <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 /> | <br /> | ||
| − | + | Improved multiple monitor and curved screen support :<br /> | |
<br /> | <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 /> | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
<br /> | <br /> | ||
| − | + | If you specify more than one screen, multiple views are rendered in different directions. This allows much wider fields of view.<br /> | |
<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 /> | <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 /> | |
<br /> | <br /> | ||
| − | + | Use "Screen angle" setting to specify the angle between monitors.<br /> | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
<br /> | <br /> | ||
| − | + | Use "View offset" to move the steering wheel off centre.<br /> | |
<br /> | <br /> | ||
| − | + | There are three separate sets of settings that are used depending on the screen size :<br /> | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
<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 /> | <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 /> | <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 /> | |
<br /> | <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 /> | |

| − | + | - A 5 screen setup with each screen at 45 degrees - total FOV 225<br /> | |

| + | <br /> | ||
| + | This allows a much wider range of setups. You can use a wider<br /> | ||

| − | + | The number of left and right screens can be manually entered in the<br /> | |
| − | + | View Options screen.<br /> | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
<br /> | <br /> | ||
| − | + | If you specify more than one screen, multiple views are rendered in<br /> | |

| − | |||
<br /> | <br /> | ||
| − | + | As before, there are two separate sets of settings. Wide mode<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 /> | ||
| + | Use the car class buttons on the right of the screen to <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 /> | ||

| + | ''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 /> | ||

Tree / sign / bollard collisions restricted to object size
Circles more than 1.5m above car centre are now ignored
Checkpoints / finish line more than 1.5m above ignored
FIX : Restricted areas and route checkers were not working
0.6G18
- Apr 1, 2015
FIX : Error with the new Wedge objects at 90 degrees
0.6G17
- Mar 31, 2015
New Westhill track update with various fixes
New concrete objects Wedge and Short Slab Wall
Maximum autocross objects increased to 1800
0.6G16
- Mar 31, 2015
Misc :
Custom pit stop box can now be used to repair car and refuel
Custom pit stop box disables pit lane and default pit stops
Maximum multiplayer car draw distance up from 300 to 500
Interface buttons now drawn in front of the object buttons
Off path side messages only shown with Network Debug enabled
InSim :
ISP_NCI packet added to give host more info about new guest
Layouts :
Car shadows now appear on the concrete objects
Raised start positions now work with concrete objects
Up/down buttons beside checkpoint width / circle diameter
Fixes :
Reset points on raised concrete did not work first time in
Default start points wrongly put car on concrete above them
Coloured concrete often did not go back to grey in editor
InSim IS_REO packet was ignored if more than 32 players
0.6G14
- Mar 28, 2015
Westhill :
New version of Westhill with additional configurations
Full support for open configurations including access roads
Autocross Editor :
New adjustable concrete objects
Custom start positions and pit start points
Maximum autocross objects increased to 1500
Movable start lights included as an autocross object
Pressing S/F/1/2/3 when object is selected now moves it
Pressing S/F/1/2/3 when object exists is now more helpful
Clicking colour instantly changes selected tyres or chalk
Clicking marshall position instantly changes selected marshall
Improved the appearance of marshall circles in the editor
Route checker index numbers now start at 1 instead of 0
The W/E keys instantly adjust width, no need to press M
Floating object buttons shown with different colour
X/Y/Z positions are now shown and can be typed in
Right click on X/Y/Z to move in steps of 1 metre
SHIFT+click to snap to 1 metre grid
Tracks :
Increased max cars in race from 32 to 40
Increased AU Autocross grid from 16 to 20
Increased BL Rallycross grids from 24 to 30
Regenerated lightmaps and visible object lists on most tracks
Added paths at Fern Bay to cover road near Club and mini oval
AI drivers hit wall entering pit lane at SO Classic / Town
Removed a corner marker from some configurations at Aston
Some tyres at Kyoto National disabled in other configs
New commands :
/zero_all
- Reset all lap counters and checkpoints passed as if the race had
just been started. This removes checkpoints passed.
So using this command on the first lap, before the first
checkpoint is passed, has no effect. After the first
checkpoint there is an effect. The first lap will not be
counted. This is intended to help with a rolling start after
a parade lap.
/setlap username X
- X is positive : Set the lap that the user is currently on (as
seen at the top right, not the number of laps completed). This
does not affect checkpoints passed. This may help with a driver
who reconnects after an unintended disconnection.
- X is zero : Same as the /zero_all command but for one driver.
- X is negative : subtract from the number of laps, without
affecting checkpoints passed. This may be useful as a penalty.
0.6G3
- Feb 20, 2015
Misc :
Regenerated lightmaps and visible object lists on most tracks
Added paths at Fern Bay to cover road near Club and mini oval
Fixes :
AI drivers hot wall entering pit lane at SO Classic / Town
Removed single-sided rectangle near the bridge at Fern Bay
Missing shadows on cars under bridges at Aston and Fern Bay
Shadows could appear on cars near path edges in open configs
Default lightmap sometimes used lighting from previous track
Removed message about 93 objects when loading Autocross track
Restored shadows mistakenly removed from South City buildings
Changing between reversed / forward configs - wrong lightmaps
0.6G2
- Feb 14, 2015
Open Configurations :
As part of the development for the Westhill track update that is
still in development, the support for Open track configurations
has been improved. When possible, LFS now uses a suitable path
from one of the default configurations so these things work :
- Hidden object removal gives high frame rates
- Lighting system now works so that car looks correct in shadow
- Echo maps are used so the sound changes depending on location
The X (forward) and Y (reversed) open configuration selection
buttons are now visible on the track selection screen.
Hidden object removal :
The visible objects are now detected using a much better method
than in older versions. Visible object files for the existing
tracks are provided in the patch. You should find there is now
very little pop-up of objects, but still with a high frame rate.
The visible object lists for the TV cameras are now stored in a
separate list per camera rather than being path based. So you
should no longer see objects disappearing occasionally when using
the replay / TV cameras.
Misc :
Collision detection improved near the ends of long objects
Translations :
Updated Italian, Lithuanian, Russian and Ukrainian translations
Updated Brazilian Portuguese version of docs\Commands.txt
0.6G
- Sep 27, 2014
Oculus Rift DK2 Support :
The Oculus Rift DK2 must be set to Extended Desktop mode
Start LFS, go into Options - View and click 3D at the top
For Display Type, select Oculus Rift then click OK
If all is well, LFS offers "Exit LFS to restart using the Rift"
Click OK to exit then when you restart LFS it should be in the Rift
Optional new command line options /rift=on and /rift=off
Use e.g. in a shortcut to make sure Rift mode is entered or not
LFS.exe /rift=on - try to go straight into Rift mode
LFS.exe /rift=off - do not go into Rift (ignores previous mode)
Oculus Runtime 0.4.2 (or later) is required
Graphics (visual improvement of transparent objects) :
Improved edges of transparent objects like trees and railings
Re-exported all transparent textures to improve image quality
Texture names ending ATEST / ALPHA / ALP24 all now end _ALP
If you do not install new textures, old ones will be converted
Graphics (other) :
Anisotropic filtering (AF) now default 4x
Mip bias sliders saved differently in cfg.txt
- You must set your mip bias and AF values again
Increased maximum value of multiplayer draw distance
Two new 3D formats : red-cyan anaglyph and cross-eyed view
Textures are automatically resaved (if needed) for faster load
Low res textures now load just as quickly as high res textures
New car shaders give higher frame rate when many cars on screen
FIX : Car lighting momentarily vertical as car entered a shadow
FIX : Graphics options sometimes showed too many FSAA options
Skin downloading when watching a replay :
If a car or helmet skin in a replay is not available at LFS World
when you start the replay (with low or high res skins selected)
but you already have the skin in the other resolution then that
skin in the other resolution will be used instead of a plain car
InSim :
New packet IS_HCP for host to add extra mass or intake restriction
to particular cars (affects all drivers using those cars)
Misc :
Driver's body is now enabled by default
Reduced input lag when vertical sync is enabled
Frame rate limit now disabled if vertical sync is active
Cars now drawn in nearest to furthest order for optimisation
CTRL+S screenshot message now stays for two seconds instead of one
Updated translations - thank you translators
0.6F12
September 26, 2014
Oculus Rift :
New command line options /rift=on and /rift=off
Use e.g. in a shortcut to make sure Rift mode is entered or not
LFS.exe /rift=on - try to go straight into Rift mode
LFS.exe /rift=off - do not go into Rift (ignores previous mode)
InSim :
New packet IS_HCP to add extra mass or intake restrictions
to particular cars (affects all drivers using those cars)
Misc :
Minor update to LFS_restart.exe suggesting run as administrator
0.6F11
September 25, 2014
Oculus Rift :
If you try to enter 3D mode when the Rift is not in extended mode,
and get the message to restart LFS with the Rift in extended mode,
it is now possible to go into a window (SHIFT+F4) and set your
Rift to extended mode then click 3D to try to enter Rift mode
again without exiting LFS, so avoiding one exit and restart.
0.6F10
September 24, 2014
Graphics :
Fixed bug at Aston where nearby tree line obscured background
Fixed small lines appearing in the air above some Aston trees
Oculus Rift :
LFSORDLL.dll rebuilt using SDK 0.4.2 (requires runtime update)
Removed 3 ways to enter Rift mode on your monitor by mistake
0.6F9
September 19, 2014
Graphics :
Improved edges of transparent objects like trees and railings
Re-exported all transparent textures to improve image quality
Texture names ending ATEST / ALPHA / ALP24 all now end _ALP
If you do not install new textures, old ones will be converted
Oculus Rift :
Tracking setup now allows camera to be in an offset position
Yaw reset (normally F8 key) should now work again with DK1
Misc :
Names above cars (N key) now work as expected on oval, etc.
Cars now drawn in nearest to furthest order for optimisation
CTRL+S screenshot message now stays for 2 seconds instead of 1
FIX : Misplaced accents on capital letters in names above cars
0.6F8

Oct 28, 2009
Improved multiple monitor and curved screen support :
The number of left and right screens can be manually entered in the View Options screen and you can set the angle between monitors.
If you specify more than one screen, multiple views are rendered in different directions. This allows much wider fields of view.
2 screens - maximum FOV 180 degrees
3 screens - maximum FOV 270 degrees
4 or more screens - maximum FOV 360 degrees
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.
Use "Screen angle" setting to specify the angle between monitors.
Use "View offset" to move the steering wheel off centre.
There are three separate sets of settings that are used depending on the screen size :
Screen width 3.75 times the height -> wide mode (default 3 screen)
Screen width 2.5 times the height -> medium mode (default 2 screen)
Otherwise normal (single screen) mode is active (default 1 screen)
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.
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.
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.
Various other setups can now be properly supported, for example :
- A 2 screen setup with side screen at 30 degrees and offset wheel
- A 5 screen setup with each screen at 45 degrees - total FOV 225
- A 3 projector setup with each screen at 90 degrees - total FOV 270
Note :
External views (TV, helicopter and SHIFT+U mode) are always drawn as a single render and usually confined to the 2D interface area.
Related settings :
Option to force external views to use full width
Bezel compensation - to allow for the gap between monitors
Screen widths - for centre and side screens with a different width
Other changes to view system :
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).
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.
Driving view Z-buffering improved so you should not usually see missing parts of your seat or the car body when looking around.
Mouse steer/look/axes now relative to interface (not entire screen)
New command : /view save - save any changes made to a custom view
New command : /view reload - reload a custom view without saving

Oct 11, 2009
Changes in the multiple monitor support system :
New slider : Screen angle - to set the angle between monitors
New slider : View offset - to move the steering wheel off centre
The FOV slider no longer sets the total FOV. Instead, you set the
FOV of the main screen. LFS then calculates all the necessary
fields of view and offsets per screen according to your settings.
This allows a much wider range of setups. You can use a wider
field of view without needing to set your monitors to an extreme
angle. The new settings also make a dual monitor setup usable.

Improved multiple monitor and curved screen support :

View Options screen.

different directions. This allows much wider fields of view.
2 screens - maximum FOV 180 degrees
3 screens - maximum FOV 270 degrees
4 or more screens - maximum FOV 360 degrees
As before, there are two separate sets of settings. Wide mode
becomes active when the screen width is 3 or more times the height.
Normal mode and wide mode have all the same settings, but normal
mode defaults to 1 screen, while wide mode defaults to 3 screens.
The old single projection 3 three screen mode can be reproduced by
setting the number of left and right screens to zero.
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.
Various other setups can now be properly supported, for example :
- A 5 screen setup with each screen at 45 degrees - total FOV 225

New Car Filter System (List of Games Screen)
The car filters help you find the host you want.
The QUICK method of using the filters :
Use the car class buttons on the right of the screen to
quickly set several car filters. ALL is the default.
For fine tuning or manual operation :
Click on the vertical car names in the list of games.
You can set them to GREY, BLUE or RED.
GREY : You don't mind if this car is enabled or not
BLUE : This car MUST be available on the host
RED : This car must NOT be available on the host
- Leave most of them GREY (the default colour)
- The cars you want to use, set them to BLUE
- Use RED only for cars you really don't want to see
Guests : please do join empty hosts - people will join!
Hosts : please don't allow all cars, if possible.
Restart Vote Limitations (for hosts and administrators)

0.3H6
March 3, 2005
PATCH H6 fixes an old bug that showed up massively in PATCH H5
This old bug, when combined with the H5 optimisation, could cause
cars to fall underground, specially the front end of the MRT5.
0.3H5
March 2, 2005
PATCH H5 is mainly to test an improvement in frame rate when online.
1) Reduced CPU usage in remote car collision detection
2) Smoothed the motion of the car squares on the small map display
3) Fixed the flashing cars on the boundary of multiplayer draw distance
0.3H4
Feb 25, 2005
The main purpose of PATCH H4 is to test another attempted bug fix.
The rare "car stops and flickers when someone else leaves the pits" bug
still comes up. There's no known way to reproduce the bug at will,
so it's very hard to find and fix.
This patch includes extra protection for the bug, and shows various
red error messages if the bug is found and corrected.
1) Extra protection for the car flickering bug
2) Fix for a possible crash
3) RAF output : spring / dampc / dampr / brake corrected : int -> float
0.3H3
Ocz 19, 2004
1) Sometimes, some objects could flicker rapidly on and off. An example
was at South City Long, before turning right at the corner after the
hairpin, a traffic light on the right would flicker on and off.
This patch reprocesses the draw lists when loading a track, and should
eliminate most cases of objects that vanish for a moment.
2) When exiting from the multiplayer section soon after getting a list
of games, sometimes you would be forced to wait for several seconds
while watching a message "Closing X connects".
This patch asks windows to terminate the connects immediately, so in
most cases you should not see this message again.
0.3H2
Oct 12, 2004
1) Sometimes, you can receive corrupted UDP packets. In some cases this
could cause a rare bug where your own car would start flickering from
one side of the track to the other for a while.
This patch contains a few lines of extra code in an attempt to stop this
happening. When the bug would have come up, LFS displays a message in
red : "Corrupted UDP Packet".

1) Scrutineering is permanently on - this means that players with cars
that have been modified can only link up with other players with the
exact same modifications. The aim of this is to exclude cheating players
while still allowing modified players to connect online. Forcing the
cars to be equal is also essential for the multiplayer prediction.
2) More info on the List of Games screen - when you see a host that is
version D, the letters F, R and T signify the host's allowed cars:
F:XF GTI - R:XR GT - T:XR GT TURBO
3) Multiple controller support - multiple controllers are now supported.
This is a completely new inputs and force feedback system and your
input settings will have to be re-entered.
