sono sicurissimo che funziona, al 100%!
lanmciate il pro, e quando siete ai box premete K...

[pierpix89]

putroppo nn va

[BoNI]

riprovato oggi a mezzogiorno e va... ma ricordavo di averlo fatto anche quest'inverno..

non so che dirti...

ripeto però che è inguidabile, puoi provare al massimo col joypad.. ma ti perdi il meglio di nkpro..

[MMx]

non è che dipende dalla versione?

[ruscation]

io col joypad gioco.

[BoNI]

di 1.02 in rete ce n'è una sola... nel dubbio riscaricatela..

[Uff]

Finalmente c'è un bel manuale corposo per sviscerare ogni aspetto di nKP (più esattamente, della vicina patch 1.03): lo trovate qui!

[MMx]

l'esistenza di un manuale di nkpro stava assumendo connotati non dissimili da quelli del necronomicon

[ruscation]

il manuale conferma l'uso della tastiera con "k"...

[BoNI]

il manuale conferma l'uso della tastiera con "k"...

te lo confermavo io già dall'anno scorso..

[MMx]

l'uscita della patch è stata troppo per l'equilibrio di 'sto forum

[Uff]

Qualche ulteriore dettaglio, per chi volesse scaricarla: ricordo che la demo permette di correre online con la 1600 su tutte le piste del sim.

Detailed changelog
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


New and improved features:
- Added a multiplayer demo feature. This allows unlicensed users to drive the Formula1600 car on all tracks offline and on all tracks online.
- Enabled AIM screen when driving in unlicensed mode (offline and online).
- Added topbar added with current standings (only in normal mode, not visible in FullMode).
- Enabled admin control in multiplayer races (allows moving to next session and restart session).
- Reintroduced flatspotting (locking your tires will cause flatspots on your tires resulting feedback effects from the tires).
- Added option to finetune the presentation of the topbar.
- Enabled Doom mode on track (only when the car is stopped).
- Enabled loading a setup from inside the simulator.
- Enabled saving a setup from inside the simulator.
- Enabled possibility to select a skin from inside the simulator.
- Enabled fuel time for adding fuel to the car (1 second per litre) in FullMode.
- Improved front wing configuration settings for Formula2000 and FTarget.
- Implemented click and hold fast parameter change in setup screens.
- Collision dectection code for body/wall/ground/remote cars up to 5.5x times faster.
- Changed the formula to calculate Slip Angles to a more precise one. Differences are minimal but the car might feel slightly different on the limit.
- Changed the coast torque for all the cars to a more gradual curve.
- Changed shadow map size for car shadows to 256x256. Users can set it using the file cfg/nkpro.ini.
- Added anti-alias option in video options.
- Audio crossfade range was increased to 1500 rpm to reduce audio cracks.
- New algorithm to distribute skid sounds left and right based on load.
- Added new force feedback configuration in setup (in misc).
- Added new force feedback mode 'hardmode' (in nkpro.ini).
- Added option to load the sim with all systems running already (in options).
- Changed setup system. Now possible to define seperate settings for rear suspension (left and right).
- Setup system now shows indication of highest possible topspeed and topspeed per gear.
- The car is not going into "super damped" mode when stopped anymore. New stationary friction code is used at 0 speed. Car is more responsive to setup changes (moving up and down while changing springs) and engine roll torque.
- Darkened helmet visor for more realism.
- Added virtual mirror option in setup.
- Added more flexibility in selecting the field-of-view (to allow multiple monitor setups).
- Removed join lag (hardly noticable now).
- Added tyre locking (also visible).
- Changed doom mode. You can't walk through walls anymore to increase realism.
- Added option to load a different setup during the waiting time of a FullMode session (not when the session has started). Waiting time has become the actual time between sessions, in reality often 24 hours.
- Damage incurred in qualifying is fixed when the server changed to waiting time for the race session.
- Added fuel lap indicator (shows how much laps you can do with a specific amount of liters)
- Added projected aero cp for balance indicator.
- Finetuned Fullmode repair times.
- Finetuned algorithm for simulation of dirty tires (from grass and gravel).
- Improved remote car sounds (in multiplayer races).
- Added standings, laptimes and laptime differences in TV view (F4) in replays.
- Added driver name indicator in TV view (F4) in replays.
- Enabled realtime pings of the connected drivers in a multiplayer session.
- Improved general performance. There are more frames per second now.
- Improved stability of framerate. Framedrops have been dramatically reduced.
- Removed bodyground collision problem.
- Enabled car bottom / track collision. Cars can now touch the ground with the car bottom (not only with the wheels).
- Implemented new shadow system (much more stable shadows).
- Pitboard shows 'last lap' with one lap to go in a race.
- Added new F8 view (shows actual throttle, brake and clutch values).
- Enabled user configuration of chat messages presentation (color, font, position).
- Chat messages no longer get lost when they are too long (you can't type more when it's full).
- Improved force feedback system.
- Added new 'hardmode' as force feedback option.
- Improved and finetuned cars physics in general.
- Enabled the option to define different sky for new tracks.
- Added brake fade feature (using brakes too much will cause wear and fading brakes).
- Added brake multiplier to setup.
- Added option to define anti-alias level in netkar video options.

Tempo di uppare questo super old topic e lo faccio con un video, invece che con uno screen: l'ho realizzato oggi e riassume un po' la mia prima esperienza online con la F2000 dopo la nuova patch. Spero vi piaccia, nella sua semplicità!

[ruscation]

mai vista tanta gente online tutta assieme!

[Uff]

Kunos questa mattina ha deciso di illuminarci d'immenso.

[BoNI]

fa specie vedere tanti server...
e fa specie vedere pure mmx nei server..

[MMx]

si, per mezza curva, perchè poi vengo nuclearizzato da qualcuno e passo il resto della gara a tentare di guadagnare il box...

[BoNI]

ESC --> Go To Box

[MMx]

si ma fa più figo farsi il giro tutto storto, magari minacciando l'autore della ruotata con una sbandata assassina in fase di doppiaggio...

[pierpix89]

[BoNI]

farà figo ma perdi un giro per niente..
inoltre, se vuoi fare il figo ( ) e farti il giro per riparare ai box evita di entrare dritto in pitlane ma passa il traguardo e poi fai GoToBox, altrimenti ti regala un bel -1 Lap.. (a meno che l'abbia fixato nell'ultimissima release, visto che non avevo più provato a farlo)...

[MMx]

non è che in una gara di 6 giri mi faccia tutta 'sta differenza aver 40 secondi o un giro di distacco...

[BoNI]

beh ma se non altro hai possibilità di recupero..
se parti a -1 ti passa anche la voglia di correre..

[MMx]

io in realtà ancora non ci capisco una mazza con i distacchi e quella banda là in alto (sarà anche perchè ogni volta che guardo sta mostrando altra gente e quando mostra me già mi son scordato di riguardarci), quando vedo che c'è qualcuno vicino mi ingarello e amen... sempre meglio di pirci che lasciò parcheggiata una mini in mezzo ad una chicane con la namie...

[BoNI]

la barra in alto la puoi togliere con F9 mi sembra, e puoi usare la classica pitboard...
il problema è se ti ingarelli con uno un guiro più avanti dite..
