Car's steering wheel turns now shown in steering settings

NOTE about H-pattern shifters : A new support system for H-pattern shifters automatically uses the shifter for cars with an H-pattern shifter, and your sequential gears for single seater cars. If you have a shifter, just set the user option to "shifter". For convenience, there are two separate versions of these settings : AutoClutch, GCCut, GCBlip. That's because a lot of people may wish to use auto clutch with their paddle shift and manual clutch with their shifter.

NOTE about changing controls : There is a new script system you can read about below. When you select a car with a road / sequential or paddle shifter, LFS will run the file data\script\road.lfs (etc). Some people may wish to use the /button command in their scripts, to assign unused buttons. For example when you drive a formula car, you have a spare horn button and you might want to use that for the pit speed limiter.

New LFS script system :

- Place text file of commands xxx.lfs in script folder

- Then script xxx.lfs can be run by typing /run xxx

- Note : CAR.lfs is run when you select CAR e.g. XFG, BF1

- Note : autoexec.lfs is run when LFS reaches entry screen

New text commands added (see Commands.txt in docs folder) :

/fov [degrees] - field of view

/ff [0-200] - force feedback strength

/axis [axis] [function] - e.g. /axis 2 throttle

/invert [0/1] [function] - e.g. /invert 1 brake

/head_tilt [degrees] - 1g head tilt

/lateral_shift [m] - 1g lateral shift

/forward_shift [m] - 1g forward shift

/vertical_shift [m] - 1g vertical shift

/say [message] - same as typing a chat message

/echo [text] - show text only on local screen

/spec [name] - same as spectate [name]

/ctrlf [num] [text] - change text e.g. /ctrlf 1 hello

/altf [num] [text] - change text e.g. /altf 1 /view=driver

/wheel_turn [degrees] - specify turn angle of controller

/press [key] - simulate key press

Restricted areas and route checkers added to autocross

Welcome / Tracks filename length increased to 31 chars

New car data output files (press letter O in garage)

Gearshift debounced (can't shift twice within 50 ms)

InSim : MCI packets are now available in arenas

InSim : IS_RES qualify packets sent even if not in table

FIX : Outguage reported remote cars fuel load

Ottimo, stasera la testo :!!:

[pastone2810]

ormai siamo alla perfezione!

se non fosse per l'audio non ce ne sarebbe per nessuno

[Guest Chico]

Io ho problemi con l'audio. I suoni sono "stranissimi" e "scattano". Con la U non mi accadeva questo. Nessuno ha rilevato questo problema?

Con la U36 qualcuno aveva avutoproblemi, ora con la V dovrebbero esser stati risolti.

Se fai un giro su LFSforum nel thread delle test patch mi pare ci sia un pacchetto di suoni per chi aveva questo problema (non ricordo se son gli stessi della patch V o eran solo per chi aveva problemi con le test patch, ma tentar non nuoce).

Senno' come engine sonoro, almeno per i miei gusti e' veramente buono (a parte la BF1, ma non mi piace in ogni caso), ha molti effetti che altri sim si sognano, riverbero se passi accanto a un muro o sotto i ponti, fischio della turbina calcolato in realtime ecc.
