Decisamente a sorpresa, dopo un lungo silenzio, è stata rilasciata una nuova versione aggiornata dell'ottimo Live for Speed. La release 0.6J ci offre soprattutto un miglioramento delle prestazioni generali su tutti i sistemi, compresi PC più datati. Inoltre è stato ulteriormente migliorato il supporto al visore Oculus Rift. Qui di seguito tutti i dettagli e i download. We are pleased to announce a new update of Live for Speed with some very good performance improvements. Various systems have been updated to reduce the work done by the graphics card and the CPU. The simulator runs more smoothly and you can choose a higher frame rate or run your computer more efficiently and consistently with a limited rate. This is a great help at the highly detailed Westhill environment released in the 0.6H update. We have improved the frame rate limiter (in Misc Options) so Live for Speed can run very accurately at the rate you set. There is a new live frame timing graph to help you see what's going on if you like that kind of thing! For Oculus Rift users, we are supporting Direct mode and the 0.6 runtime. You can now enter or leave 3D mode at any time without restarting LFS. Just click the 3D button in View Options. In the LFS window that remains on your monitor you can see what the person wearing the Rift is looking at. Four ways to get Version 0.6J :1) AUTO UPDATER - If you already have version 0.5V or later : - Click on "Multiplayer" then "List of Hosts" in LFS and choose a download mirror. 2) MANUAL PATCH (1.5 MB) - If you already have version 0.6H or later : - Click HERE and save the patch installer. - You can run the patch installer from its download location or from your LFS folder. 3) MANUAL PATCH (156 MB) - If you already have version 0.5Z or later : - Click HERE and save the patch installer. - You can run the patch installer from its download location or from your LFS folder. 4) FULL VERSION (273 MB) - If you are new to LFS or making a fresh installation. - Click HERE to visit the download page and get the full version installer. Changes from 0.6H to 0.6J :Optimisations : Static vertex buffers reorganised to reduce DirectX instructions Frames buffered (default 1) to allow next frame to start rendering More efficient car distance sorting system for sound and graphics Dynamic vertex buffers now set to use hardware vertex processing Better frame rate in places where many objects may be visible Graphics : Sky texture is now drawn in mirrors Layout editor object selection buttons are sorted by distance Z-buffer depth setting can now be changed without restarting LFS Mirror now uses 24 bit Z buffer if Z buffer setting is more than 16 Frame rate limitation system : Frame rate limitation system is now accurate and has better values New frame info display shows sleep / physics updates / gpu waiting Now using an event query instead of a lock for input lag prevention Minimum sleep setting changed to "Sleep every frame" (yes / no) Misc : Now using Direct3D 9Ex if available (Windows Vista and later) Reduced glitch when autocross objects are optimised (e.g. on load) Reduced min / max values for "Sound lag" setting - default now 0.08 New Audio Option "Sound when window is inactive" (off / on) 3D view modes : Added a 3D level slider option to adjust monitor-based 3D views Reduced CPU / GPU usage by sharing scene preparation for both eyes Oculus Rift : Now using Oculus SDK version 0.6.0.1 which includes timewarp You can now enter and leave Rift mode without restarting LFS Smooth display (if you do not use SLI or force vertical sync) Monitor window view options : blank / one eye / two eyes Oculus Rift compatibility mode : For users who cannot use the Oculus 0.6 runtime, you can still use the 0.5 runtime. Simply rename the ORDIRECT.dll to some other name and LFS will then use LFSORDLL.dll instead (extended mode only). Fixes : Some buildings at Westhill track were drawn using a slow method Mouse clipped to window (CTRL+C) now works properly with ALT+TAB Using mouse wheel to change gear did not work properly at high fps Layout editor object selection buttons used interface button slots Crash changing texture resolution with two or more objects selected Anisotropic filtering did not work on car textures (including skin) TIPS on using Live for Speed with an Oculus Rift DK2 :NOTE : Oculus runtime 0.6.0.1 (or later) is required 1) How to enter Rift mode in LFS : - Start LFS and click 3D on the View Options Screen - Select Oculus Rift and click OK 2) To reset your seating position, the text command /rift reset is assigned by default to the F8 key. - When a new driver takes over, ask them to look straight ahead then press F8 - Key assignments can be edited in Options - Game - F1 to F8 3) Accessing your desktop while LFS is on the Rift. - You will find that your mouse cursor is confined to the Rift's virtual monitor - Press CTRL+C to free the mouse and now the mouse can go onto the desktop 4) Optional 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) This post has been promoted to an article

Progress Report December 2011 A short progress report posted on www.lfs.net : Dear LFS Racers, We hope you had a good year in 2011. In June we released 0.6B, the best version of LFS so far. Since then we have been continuing to work towards the new tyre model and the S3 upgrade which we plan to release after the physics update. Scawen has been further developing the virtual tyre test rig, a detailed model of a tyre's structure, to work out various values for the in-game tyre model. For example, what is the contact patch length, width and pressure for a given vertical deflection and how does the tyre's shape change with forces, torques and camber. These depend on the dimensions and structure of a tyre. By making the in-game tyres behave in a similar way, the driving experience will be as realistic as possible. In the left part of the image, the yellow lines show the radial cords of the carcass. The orange and green lines show the steel belts and the cap ply. The right side of the image illustrates the carcass thickness which gives some rigidity even without air pressure. Eric has been working on the S3 content. After the physics update and the VW Scirocco are released as a free update for all S1 and S2 license holders, we will work towards the S3 update which will provide more tracks and cars to S3 license holders. As usual for an upgrade, the cost of your existing license will be deducted from the full price. We wish you a happy 2012, and we'll release the updates as soon as we can!
