They're not low res, the bug is that AF isn't being applied to skins.
Way ahead of you: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/86567
Waaay ahead of you, I reported it in the test patch forum weeks ago. Turned out Flame had beat me to it by a few weeks as well.
Scawen Wrote:It's going well.
I completed the new "optimiser" which precomputes which objects are visible from any point on the path. It uses a higher resolution and a much better rendering method to correctly detect what is visible, so there is now very little popup of objects, holes in the road and so on. I plan to release updated object visibility files for the current tracks. Probably in a test patch before Westhill is ready.
I've just written a new thing for open configurations which can start on a path (instead of using no paths at all) and then switch between paths when you go off the edge of one and onto another. The result of this is higher frame rate on open configs, because it can use the optimiser. Also the echo map is available. Still need to do the lightmaps, so cars go darker when they are in shadowed places. This was really vital for the new Westhill as it has all the access roads which are fun to drive on, but the frame rate was too low without the use of the optimiser. Eric is creating dummy paths for the access roads, so they are not selectable as configurations but the paths are available for open configs.
So it's all going well. Obviously these things aren't done by magic and they take time, but we like working and we like what we are working on. So for us it looks good.
And another one..
Scawen Wrote:Yes, we are still working on the Westhill updates. Eric sent me a test version with most of the new paths done. This brought up some more editor improvements I needed to do. I've been looking around the track. Eric is still finishing some things and fixing some issues. I've been trying to get the remaining things off my list. This stage seems to go on a while. Some things take longer than expected and other unexpected things come up. But it's all about making improvements to LFS so it's all good, apart from the wait.

At least some improvement. Good things come slow.
At least Scawen posts more now than he used to do so it doesn't feel completely dead.
Damn that looks neat. Third picture shows half the minimap (I suspect) on that blue board in the left side of the picture. Can't wait
Would TC be turning into a UK driving side (Left)?
Obviously the give way lines are in the correct places now. Would it be just for this track or for all tracks?
This is looking really promising for once! Getting excited now... Especially with left hand side road markings!
Even the trees look realistic.

TC with Left side driving = total chaos when Non-Left driving people join.
Impressive that LFS can look like that. Barely looks like LFS.
Looks really nice indeed, can't wait!
hmm, looks nice, but not getting my hopes up to see it anywhen soon
Oh look what else I found the devs will release a test patch for in a few weeks
In the third picture you can see a volkswagen billboard, that's got to be a good sign no??

Yes ,between trees.
I like the new textures.. hope it come soon...
Looks pretty amazing, at least compared to what we're used to in LFS graphics-wise.
Gonna be a mad rush to get a layout together when it is released!

You could say the same for people who don't drive on the right!

Most of the world drives on the right, to be fair. Also, I believe TC has been right hand side since the beginning.
