Changes:
  • Fixed bug in link rate for high speed damping. (The ratio should have been squared but wasn't, resulting in too much damping.)
  • Separate high/low speed damping adjusters.
  • Added a warning on the exit screen when your track isn't saved.
The high speed adjusters are the same as the old damping adjusters. With the low speed adjusters at 50, it'll give you linear damping like in the previous versions. Under 50 they'll give you progressive damping, and over 50 they'll give you digressive damping.

Small update (2015-09-24):
  • High speed adjuster ranges doubled.

Replace mx.exe or mxbin with one of the above files. The default location for mx.exe should be "C:\Program Files (x86)\MX Simulator". I'd keep a backup of the originals since these aren't well tested.

JLV, would it be possible to have a warning that tells you when you change track too? Since changing track, then quit will warn you, but when you return to the track you were working on, the changes aren't there (for obvious reasons).

Trying to understand how the speed of rebound would be different.... why are there high and low speed rebound? For when we frame bottom on a log?

Also, can you provide the rates at which these low and high speed adjustments effect? Do they cross over at all?

On the next update can you please increase the speed for adjusting the setup? And maybe even get rid of the feature in single player? I am actually having a hard time coming to a complete stop to adjust my suspension. I get up from a fall and wait until it looks like I'm stopped completely and still get the message that the settings will not be applied.

Any chance we could get graphs of where the suspension settings effect?

Sorta like this:

Thanks for the update jlv!

One question though... did you test this on supercross yourself? It is so incredibly soft and I fall off on everything, I mean I go through the whoops and I get fall off? The suspension does feel smoother though... I can see it working really well outdoors, but it's just not right for supercross as of now. Maybe it's the way I have it setup IDK, but I can't find something that seems right for the life of me.

I cranked both compressions to 100 and had the rebound dampings on 100 and its still too soft and is still a pogo stick. It might be just because we were so used to incorrect suspension that the real thing is kind of weird to us. I think this snapshot is much more realistic but at the same time its gunna slow down a lot of sim players for sure.

Or

jlv made a mistake with the suspension and didnt realize it, which I doubt. Regardless, the suspension feels whack, but nobody irl had the amount of rebound damping we had in this game lol

dp, but it legit feels like my spring rate is at 100 and my rebound damping is at 0 xD, if we are comparing to old snapshot
