It's the same as before only with much more range. It controls how much the spring is compressed when the suspension is topped out.

Ok cool so it's basically the difference between the uncompressed length and the compressed length when the spring is fitted. Any idea of what is the standard difference? I can't find the compressed length info anywhere!

Thanks

Not sure what the typical factory preload is, but I'm sure you already know that everyone just adjusts it to sag about 4 inches with the rider on the bike.

Awesome update. It definitely felt different at first. I had my preload clear down at like 35 before this snapshot. The shock appeared to be completely compressed when I left it like that. After some tweaking this thing feels like a Cadillac in the rough stuff. Pretty cool. Just feels more consistent now.

Just sitting here wondering, how many snapshots have you released where you made a significant change to how the bike and rider react but didn't tell us? Also have you ever said you changed something but you really didn't? Just curious because this game is like 90% mental for me. Some days I'm terrible and the bike feels weird as hell. Other days it feels perfect and I almost never change my settings.

Not accusing you of doing either, its just I know you could release a snapshot and say you changed this, this, and this without changing a thing and people would either complain or tell you how awesome the changes are.

This game is still so damn enjoyable after 8ish years, I don't understand it. I don't play nearly as much as I used to or would like to. I'm starting to get old. Got my degree, got a job, got married, and bought a house all in the last year. No time for MXS!

This update is so wicked. No more bullshit fall offs, it feels so much more consistent and just not bullshit lol.

Thanks JLV, hasn't been this fun for a while.

im on my mac and finally remembered how to install the 1-10 update on here, however i dont remember how to install the snapshot. When i try to run it a little box pops up and says cant find game data? Any guesses?

btrill135 · Post by **btrill135** » Tue Jul 21, 2015 5:53 pm

so i think i got the snapshot in the right place, however now when i try to play on a server it says: Fixed file mismatch

Ive never seen that before and have no clue what i did wrong, help a brotha out please!

Did you make sure you replaced the old "mx.exe" in your install folder with the snapshot? Drag and drop the snapshot into your install folder (Not the personal folder). Then either delete "mx.exe" or move it somewhere, and rename the snapshot to "mx".

Didn't see this. I'm not sure. Did your 1.10 work online?

btrill135 · Post by **btrill135** » Tue Jul 21, 2015 7:03 pm

I downloaded and installed 1-10 and didnt try playing until i downloaded this snapshot. I have no problems playing solo but online i continue to get that message

I'm not sure. I think other people were having this problem though. Refer to this thread: http://forum.mxsimulator.com/viewtopic. ... 7&start=75 Should be somewhere in there.

I'll look again but ive already browsed through there and cant find a solution, hopefully JLV can help. Probably something just not in the right folder but im not an expert on this stuff so i dont want to go moving things without knowing whats up lol

You might also want to do "/listfiles zzz" and check that you have zzzs.saf through zzzz.saf.

For generic_frame you should get this:
generic_frame.shp -> C:/Program Files/MX Simulator/zzzs.saf
generic_frame.shp.gz -> C:/Program Files/MX Simulator/zzzz.saf

For generic_rider you should get this:
generic_rider.shp.gz -> C:/Program Files/MX Simulator/zzzw.saf
generic_rider.shp.gz -> C:/Program Files/MX Simulator/zzzx.saf
generic_rider.shp.gz -> C:/Program Files/MX Simulator/zzzz.saf
