v 1.040 there is a whole page of fixes and additions and improvements. http://www.rfactor.net/index.php?page=downloads dh

How big is the download?

"Fixed screenshot bugs in windowed and multi-monitor modes. " Can anyone shed some light on this? Is it possible to wrap the view around multiple monitors?

Good heavens, what's with all these .plr mods? Can't they give us a damned interface for this stuff! -Larry "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... >v 1.040 there is a whole page of fixes and additions and improvements. > > http://www.rfactor.net/index.php?page=downloads > > > dh

I wish someone would unpolish the interface and remove the animated backgrounds and stuff. The entire layout just seems like a lame way to integrate their sales pitch into the product without following any sort of GUI convention.

GUI conventions in games, that's funny... SCNR But I'm with you in wishing sim designers would restrict themselves to practical, easy-to-use (esp. regarding mouse travel) interfaces. In GTL you can't even use ESC to go back!!! WTF? l8er ronny

Do server and game versions have to match? -Larry

Once you install the patch, you get an "incompatible version" (or something like that), if you try to join a race hosted on the original version server. I don't know if older clients can connect to newer servers though. Never had a chance tyo try it, as I installed the patch _minutes_ after I saw the post saying it was out. -- Darryl
