Scawen is apparently alive and kicking.
Version 0.6F is coming (faints):yahoo::yahoo:

I've been following this on their forum and while the LFS community has been waiting five years for the promised Scirocco/Rockingham/Tyre physics, Scawen preferred to make LFS support the Oculus Rift. Pfft.

The irony, for me, is that in the past there were loads of hosts (us included) who always had the latest test patch installed so we could help the developers with any issues etc. Now it appears that Scawen has to actively ask people to try the patch. A direct result of ignoring the needs of a once vibrant and excited community.

When the new version is released I will make sure it's on our server as soon as possible. Enjoy the anti-aliased mirrors :flirty:

Installed and tested it on the server, it's compatible so download away :thumb:

The 3D works ok but is half resolution using LFS settings. As it's now DX9, it works with my tellys 3D rendering software and it looks way better using this method instead.

I'll not be buying a Oculus Rift headset, it's old tech already.

But note, what's available now is the test patch (6E series). 6F is due to be released this weekend. The server will be updated to 6F once it's released.

Note that because it is a test patch you need to download it from the forum. You cannot use the autoupdater from the ingame server list.

To me this is not giving anything. I already had gfx maxed and not having fps issues. Not having nor intending to have oculus rift. The only visible change is that some car rims have some small gfx issues when turning the car in the carage view. Looks like z-fighting to me (tiny areas having waving patterns).

The full 0.6F patch is due this afternoon sometime. As soon as I spot it I'll update the server.

NEW Westhill tracks soon and maybe fixed the stupid overheating tyres.

Patch F is in the autoupdater. Probably just like E19.

Westhill and....abused tyres will always overheat, no matter the physics :devil:

Track update looks pretty different, that evil tyre chicane looks much slower now, will be interesting to see.

And, of course, there's a problem.

Scawen has only released the DCON (console) version of the dedicated server. This means all the work done today by Whitey is broken and we may have problems getting Airio to work. I'm currently on TS if anyone wants more info.

Thanks for the update oldie.  No panic though! We normally race over at the Dominant Monkeys server at the Weekend.

Think it's sorted. Server is up but needs testing if anyone's about.

Thanks Oldie, everything seems to work A.O.K.
Reconfigured combo to FXO@SO1 and everything, including Airio was fine.
Thanks again.

Cheers Oldie :thumb:
