Open configuration support has been improved as part of the new Westhill update we have been working on.
This test patch IS compatible with version 0.6G

You cannot upload hotlaps made with this test patch because it is only a test patch, not an official patch.
Please keep a backup of your LFS.exe from 0.6G so you can easily go back if there are any problems.

Changes from 0.6G2 to 0.6G3 :

Fixes :
AI drivers hot wall entering pit lane at SO Classic / Town

Shadows could appear on cars near path edges in open configs
Default lightmap sometimes used lighting from previous track
Removed message about 93 objects when loading Autocross track
Restored shadows mistakenly removed from South City buildings
Changing between reversed / forward configs – wrong lightmaps

Changes from 0.6G to 0.6G2 :
Open Configurations :
As part of the development for the Westhill track update that is still in development, the support for Open track configurations has been improved. When possible, LFS now uses a suitable path from one of the default configurations so these things work :
– Hidden object removal gives high frame rates
– Lighting system now works so that car looks correct in shadow
– Echo maps are used so the sound changes depending on location

The X (forward) and Y (reversed) open configuration selection buttons are now visible on the track selection screen.

Hidden object removal :
The visible objects are now detected using a much better method than in older versions. Visible object files for the existing tracks are provided in the patch. You should find there is now very little pop-up of objects, but still with a high frame rate.
The visible object lists for the TV cameras are now stored in a separate list per camera rather than being path based. So you should no longer see objects disappearing occasionally when using the replay / TV cameras.
Misc :
Collision detection improved near the ends of long objects

Translations :
Updated Italian, Lithuanian, Russian and Ukrainian translations
Updated Brazilian Portuguese version of docs\Commands.txt
