Get that Joke of a TM out of here. I'm waiting for the next big update.

Let a German run that factory and it beats every other 125 out there. But Italians .. pfhoeh...

Me and my brother ran a youth team last year, nearly clinched the Belgian 125cc title ... But we switched from TM to Yamaha even before the season started. It's just impossible to work with the factory, their leadtimes for parts are gigantic, their stock in the Holland/Belgian region is super limited. And they gave 0 support setting wise, so in the sand the bike kept losing power in the lower RPM's.

A plus, if you only ride hard pack tracks, it's the one bike to have. It keeps on going forever in higher RPM's and the stock suspension beats anything out there! Especially now that KTM/Husqy are using air forks

But why take it out of there? If the RMZ250 is allowed to be part of the list ... than anything is good enough

No RM125?

is it just me who feels like the 2017 250 sxf can't turn for shit? Fc 250 feels nice though

[logansm323]

Really digging the FC250! Thanks for the update JLV, and

I agree from what I can tell so far.

Where dem 500CC Bikes at tho. Also the superminis

Changes:
Now automatically deletes triangles with no area when loading models.

Would you be able to explain this? Most of the models I run have faces that have disappeared, thanks JLV.

[Yamahaulin]

we need to fix this still haha. I dont get it

[jlv]

Haven't ridden them, still going to ride the yz250. I agree with Chex though, bikes getting faster in game just means easier to jump stupid stuff which makes track making harder.

What is a triangle with no area?

Also, is it possible to implement the track texture scaling with bike/rider textures?

Thanks for the support JLV!

A triangle with no area is usually a modelling mistake. Scale a triangle by 0 and then forget to merge. I think it might have been causing the crash on namur. It was crashing in the GL driver. Probably getting confused after dividing by 0 while doing triangle setup.

The original plan was to put a resolution limit on all textures before the season started but I ran out of time.

I guess the triangle area test isn't picky enough. Is it just very tiny faces that are gone?

All bikes handle the same...

nah 16's are different from the years before. If you can't tell that from riding them you are a potato.

Jlv care to weigh in?

Each bike is the same as the other bikes in its class. All 125s are the same, all 250fs are the same etc.

Some are tiny but some aren't, in the first picture for instance there's a large chunk of my cable missing. How does it read degenerate faces? And how can I go about fixing them?

Here's some pictures:






Thanks JLV!

The test is for the square of the area to be under 1024*1024*1024. I figured that would be infinitesimal, but it actually works out to be a square .006 feet on each side. Tiny, but not infinitesimal. I'll make the threshold smaller. Plenty of room for optimization on those models though. Those triangles are *tiny*.

My 17 crf450 is doing the weird camo grey thing. Other bikes look fine. Can anyone advise?

[James Webb]

My game seems to be crashing 3 times before start up just like it used to before you fixed it.
