Changes:

• Force based track deformation.
• Erode scale has been changed so --erode 1 will wear at a fairly realistic speed. Use higher values for unnaturally fast wear.
• Added /sendfile command for server admins. (Currently useless without the new server.)
• Adjusters for 3rd person view.

Linux users: http://mxsimulator.com/snapshots/mxbin-2012-08-10

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

Sweet! Nice ShotSnap!

what does the "Forced Track base deformation" do?

Great for 3rd person users! Even though i play in 1st...

[mxrewind665]

Sweet thanks.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I love the camera adjustments! Thanks, JLV!

Amazing! I might actually try 3rd person now! One question though: Will you be adding a 3rd person rotation (for slot like cam) in the future?

So I went to try out the erode and this is what happened, I don't know if this is what's under the track but when I rode over it I uncovered this:
I took a few laps so I made a lot of paths, each path is about 5-6 feet wide


I wanted to see if the erode worked well and I really kept trying to dig in on this corner by going into it fast, exsesivly breaking a the last possible moment and then droppins the clutch while leaning back to try to dig it out but it seems like it didn't do anything

I guess I didn't hit submit when I typed this post up earlier. Anyways, it would be cool to have smaller increments to try out.

i think it means the roost dosent build up and the holes go where the tyres go not where the roost lands. I don't know though, just my guess.

Do people not go in the track editing section? This erode feature has been out for well over a month

For the 3rd person camera, that might have been unclear.

The shading is automatically refreshed. So tracks that are coloured using shadingx2 will end up like that.

The stock erode setting is quite wide. Track makers can narrow it though. Try riding Millville or Washougal, as they have been properly set up for this feature

every time when i try to run the game with --erode, the mx.exe doesn't start
