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.

This version will save some erode bandwidth (around 25%) compared to the previous version at the cost of erode accuracy which will hopefully not be very noticeable. This will have a side effect of making the erode_inner_depth setting not do as much so if you're making tileinfo files you'll have to increase it a bit to compensate.

Thoughts on a percentage to increase the inner depth by to compensate? Not sure if I’ll be able to get a test in before next outdoor round, but stoked to see the optimization for the server load!

nice

It's speed dependent. At slow speeds, you'll have to double it to be the same. At 128 feet/second, it will be unchanged. I'd probably go up around 20-30% as a compromise.

This game NEEDS this feature... Because, I'm sorry, but actually feeling like you're on the track, is the only way to go, and is the future of motocross sim racing for a game with proper physics.

Even if this is the future (and this game would make me buy VR), how many people here actually have it, how many can afford it? As much as I want this now, I don't see that much of an impact if it's implemented now or 2 years from now.

It's nearly the same problem as the first VR boom in the '90's. Affordability. Available, good titles. Oh, and affordability.

Well considering the Oculus is now between $350-399 that's not very expensive for people with jobs, and every decent racing or other sim these days has implemented it, so it just seems like a logical feature to add. It would be nice if we could at least have the ability to adjust head tilt vs bike tilt in 1st person view.

Looks pretty cool! I was wondering what basis would work best for the game world vs real world. It looks like they lock the game world Y axis to the real world Y axis and use the yaw from the bike. (Where Y is vertical.) Can you flip in that game? What happens when you're inverted?

(I'd love to fool around with VR but my todo list is getting longer instead of shorter and VR is still kind of a niche thing.)

You can't flip well, but it is possible, and when you're inverted there is no change to the view, so even if you're inverted, you can look in any direction, sit, stand, move your body in any direction and feels natural. The first few times you hit big jumps you actually feel nervous because you actually get the depth perception you would in real life. Whoops are crazy too.

My demo lags when I playback in slow motion.. It's not due to the recording, it's that way even if that's off. Using the latest snapshot.

There isn't really a slow motion mode. It's just the key repeat on the single step key. Does changing the key repeat rate smooth it out?

Hehe forgot that it wasn't.... How do I change that?

Windows control panel and device or keyboard settings or some shit. That should help.
