• You can now search in most multiple choice fields in the menus by typing in them.
• The rider is now 1.5 times harder to knock off the bike when falling less than 5 feet.

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.

why is it that my gear and bike are a lot darker now after this download? my gear went flat like it has no norms and my bike is almost black unless im on a super lighted up track

Where does this apply exactly?

[quick449]

nick. on the main part where you see your gear bike skins and all that, just highlight and start typing

quik r u still having shading issues with this update?

[quick449]

with my team gear and bike yes. works perfect with old updates and not this one

how exactly does the new finding maps thing works? Some of my gear now doesn't load its normal/spec map...i think it's probably just name/wrong folder issue, but since we don't have any details to the new system, its hard to fix it.

Thanks for the update JLV, search option is great!

[AWood]

Thank god for the search option. slowly getting to a more modern menu!

Can tracks now be in sub folders? i keep a blank version in a folder called track making and in game is says "Track Making/ blank" also loads?

[AWood]

nevermind. can only search for the first one it finds and go from there. if i type "wood" looking for my gear it brings up the closest one and i can only go left and right using arrow keys from there. Kinda disappointed. but glad to see youre at least making it searchable kinda.

Same if i search for pala, well i have mine im making and a bunch of other ones but i get stuck with whichever the game finds first

Yeah any chance you could explain this?

Seems to have fixed the problems I was having .

This was the problem I saw before, and is now fixed.

If I have say a rider model named the following:

rider_body-newrider.jm

The model specific maps are then

rider_body-newrider_norm.png
rider_body-newrider_spec.png

Say I have a skin

rider_body-newrider-newskin.png

I put those in my install folder and everything is good, if I put them in a sub folder the maps don't work. BUT if I do this:

rider_body-newrider-newskin_spec.png
rider_body-newrider-newskin_norm.png

the maps then work (still in the sub-folder). Why do they work if they are skin specific in a sub-folder but not model specific?

I can't seem to get the search to work though, I type and nothing happens.
