I set to maximum the distance of view in game, but I think that is not enough. In some tracks is possble to see how the scenario is drawn at short distance. You can see it here in Monaco:


I see the same problem in other tracks like Interlagos, where it's tremendously evident. Is there any way to increase that distance?

In another term, as you can see there is a problem when you reach the tunnel, the entrance has a "grey wall".]]>

in the context of automated driving, we're experimenting with VDrift as an environment for creating test data. We have established a binding between VDrift an out middleware and currently are investigating to exttract vanishing points from VDrift recordings. This is challenging as, from the required perspective, on racing tracks - and in contrast to highways or cities - usually only a single lane marking is visible.

[Image: intro5.gif]

Do you know, whether there is something in the VDrift API or track information that could help computing vanishing points? Easiest could maybe to calculate something based on track data (which, however, would not take perspective into account).

Best,
Andreas

Vdrift did work for a couple of days. Then I started getting this message on the terminal when starting: 'vdrift: symbol lookup error: vdrift: undefined symbol: _ZN15btCompoundShapeC1Eb'. I tried re-installing the game from standard repositories and from the AUR. No help. I've then compiled from git and for the latest try from the .7z nightly. Still the same error.

I tried to look on google, but I get only some bug reports from 2009 saying an update fixed everything.

I have tried re-installing and removing all related files and everything obvious like that.

When I run the game, the loading bar comes up, finishes, and then the crash happens.

Hi, I d'loaded VDrift (vs. 2014-10-20) Created (Sun Oct 19, 14 7:27PM) and initially it seemed to work fine, at first.
I drove a few races and then went exploring.

Then, I found the options menu and thought I would adjust the screen size and perhaps ramp up any of the graphic options. I have an iMac (Late-2012) 13,1 2.7GHz quad-core i5 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M and it's quite peppy.
After I altered the options, the control of the car became very wishy-washy. Spinning out a lot, and ending up nose into a guard rail often and had to quit the game and restart.

1. Is there some way to reset the game to it's defaults ? It seemed OK at first.
I looked in my Library/Preferences in OSX 10.8.5 and there does not seem to be a .plist file that I can drag out, which often does the trick.
I also looked inside the vdrift .pkg itself and although I did find a .plist file it did not seem to have been changed, so I left it alone.
I also re-installed the whole thing from the dmg. but the new prefs. were still there.

Thanks for any help with this]]>
