Racer v0.9.0 RC9 Released

[tormento19]

A new beta is available at http://www.racer.nl/dl_beta_win.htm.
The changelog:

v0.9.0 RC9 (06-08-2014)
-----------------------
- Suspension forces refactored to work with limiting suspension length to minlen..maxlen
- Noronha tire force mixing in reverse went bad.
- Noronha tire forces could grow large at low speed. Clamped at 1.5x the nominal load.
- Tire rotational damping at low speed modified slighty (a factor 57.8 changed to 100.0 in the calculation).
- Added 'normals on' and 'normals off' console commands to visualize geometry normals.
- 'wireframephys on' now also shows normals of the collision geometry. This after trouble
with geometry that pointed the wrong way, sucking in the car instead of repulsing.
- Bugfix for car engine audio; accelerate_out and decelerate_out were not mixed correctly for incar cameras.
- Added skid_lat and skid_lon car audiosets for separate lat/lon sample control.
- Added 'odometer_lap' view variable which resets per lap.
- Relaxed texture loading to accept non-power-of-two sizes.
- TrackEd/Modeler/PacejkaPlayer/CurvEd are now all in their own subdirectories.
- TrackEd is now 64-bits only. Needed for large tracks.
- TrackEd warnings on audio producers fixed.

RC 9 Controller patch:

PS Don't forget to select automatic shifting!

Those .dll's worked fine. They must be the 64 bit versions as I had downloaded and tried the 32 bit versions first.

Yes, Mr Whippy, this is the first version that didn't work out of the box.

 

[QuadCoreMax]

Hmm, they didn't worked here on my old XP3 x86 system, it freezes my ATI drivers & then the PC goes into 'sleeping mode' when I starting a race...

Couldn't set my G25 wheels either...

 

[Alexander Knoll]

Tried the .dll's but no luck! I'll wait until Ruud makes a proper version, if I live long enuf!

Bob, i use the dll's from AC with no problem....so sorry for not working for you...

radome: It doesn't seem like it, certainly not for me at least.

Alexander Knoll: Are you sure it's not just this vehicle's views.ini elements missing the keep_aspect=1 line? See the default Lambo for reference, if needed.

Hi Alex,
öhm...i'm not sure about this, i'm using (borrowed!) unchanged the Austin Mini dials from Harey/Silver...i take a look, THX for the hint...

Alex

EDIT: Alex, it was missed, but after i put it in, it changes nothing! The Lambo dials are fine....hmm...

If you put keep_aspect=1 under elt2, the dial face will be displayed square/circular as intended, I checked the Mini just now to be sure it's not something else. The original position settings put it halfway offscreen though, so if you want to see the whole thing you'll have to fiddle with the size and position parameters of the dial face and needle, I'm afraid.

 

[Alexander Knoll]

Hi Alex,
yep i put it under ELT2, here:

  elt2
  {
  ; Type of element; static or meter
  type=static
  x=760
  y=30
  z=0
  ; Size of quad
  width=228
  height=228
  ; Image
  image=minispeedometer.tga
  keep_aspect=1
  }

i didn't changed anything, only this aspect thing...
If i understand you right, i have to change x and y, and width and height....
THX...testing...

Alex

EDIT:
ok i think i got it...THX for help!


...and what i use now...

    elt2
    {
      ; Type of element; static or meter
      type=static
      x=700
      y=90
      z=0
      ; Size of quad
      width=128
      height=128
      ; Image
      image=minispeedometer.tga
      keep_aspect=1
    }
    elt3
    {
      type=angular
      x=700
      y=90
      z=0
      ; Size
      width=128
      height=128
      image=needle.tga
      ; Variable to measure
      var=velocity
      ; Variable value range (m/s)
      min_value=0
      max_value=42.4676
      ; Angle range of rotation
      min_angle=135
      max_angle=-135
      ; Pivot point
      pivot_x=0
      pivot_y=-0.5
    }

Tried Silver Rangers great cord on carlswood and noted that the track map dissappeared.

I don't have any idea why.

Hello. How i can turn off car engine ? I know that in keyboard i start engine with key - "S" but i can't turn it off with same key. Any keyboard key have engine turn off function ?

I mean this keys.

Start engine
Stop engine

It's possible to start and stop engine with one keyboard key ?

 

[Mr Whippy]

I don't think there is a way to turn it off with one key unless you script it on a per car basis.
