--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Racers.

This is just a small update you can get, if you want to, and you already have version S or T. It's fully compatible (online and replays) with S and T and contains just a few fixes. It's the exe only. I'm just trying to get to a fully stable version without bugs, so that's why I'm putting this up for testing.

VERSION S OR T MUST BE INSTALLED BEFORE THIS PATCH!

To Install : Replace your LFS.exe with the LFS.exe from this zip.

Changes in Test Patch T4

FIX : Croatian and Serbian should always be correctly selected.
Added four more characters ro the "Brakes / TC" translation.
FOX / FO8 / BF1 all have their own dashboard colour slider.
Some more small optimisations in car draw (graphics code).
Tiny change in skid creation code to make it safer.

Changes in Test Patch T3

FIX : Croatian should be selected by default on Croatian computer.
Throttle blip on downshift is now allowed again with manual clutch.
Suspension is stronger before it bends, but then bends more quickly.
Race penalties are now sent as stats to LFS World (awaiting update).

Changes in Test Patch T2

FIX : LFS could crash sometimes, when leaving a multiplayer game.
FIX : Downloading Skin message was partially off screen.
FIX : Colour alternation on list of games screen.
Some very small optimisations in graphics code.

Hello Again Racers.
This is intended as a FINAL TEST Patch before OFFICIAL Patch U.

This is a small update you can get, if you want to, and you already have version S or T. It's fully compatible (online and replays) with S and T and contains various fixes and improvements, listed below. It's just the exe and some translation files and lesson files. This should be a fully stable version without bugs, so that's why I'm putting this up for testing, before releasing an updated full public version U, which is now significantly better than T.

YOU NEED VERSION S OR T BEFORE INSTALLING THIS PATCH!

To Install :

Place the zip file in your LFS folder.
Right click, and select "extract to here".

Changes in Test Patch T6

The biggest change in T6 is a new system called "OutGauge" which can support an external dashboard, or certain other uses. It is documented in the updated InSim.txt which you can find in the docs folder. If any programmers could verify that the systems works, that would be great. I ran a test, starting it from InSim and it seemed fine. I have not tried to start it from cfg.txt alone.

FIX : Text command /leave had stopped working
FIX : Disembodied heads driving UF and RA cars
FIX : XF GTI acceleration, PRO level was too easy
FIX : Your own driver and steering wheel could vanish
NEW : OutGauge system for external dashboards (see InSim.txt)

[andyhui01]

whats that external dashboard thing? you mean we can customize our dashboard?

[Gabkicks]

i think so. it would be nice to have a dashboard for the BF1 and F08 without the damn steering wheel.
