Thanks PiBoSo and Snappe!
Only thing I've encountered so far is that the Windows start bar won't go away when MXB is open. I have to set it to auto hide :(
Please use the Torrent if possible...!
As always BRILLIANT! Thanks, PiBoSo, Snappe & Co. you guys rule. ;D :D
This is the best beta to date
https://youtu.be/f8vJXX3mlgc
this is amazing, really great work guys. im seeding the torrent. expect alot of new footage!!
Awesome job guys....love it 😄
Front end washout: fixed
Rear stability: fixed
Suspension rebound: fixed
Bouncyness: fixed
Whips: amazing
This is everything I hoped it would be and more. Great job!
Awesome job guys I'm loving it. No issues for me with online so far with 10 :-)
So far: loving it. Bike behaviour is much more predictable. I was spending the evening trying to fall by doing stupid shit and I could see it coming 90% of the time. It's really enjoyable now because you feel you can push and you feel your limit coming closer.
I also have had no crash nor problems online. It even seems smoother than before.
The only thing I can critisize so far is that since the grip is so much better, I sometime "bury" the front wheel and it gives wierd camera shakes in first person. And that I hate Las Vegas 2018 layout but that's not your fault :p
it´s awesome, love the new physics! ;D
Happy birthday mace its June 15 th in Portugal right Now
Can't wait to test new beta but im about 6 hours to get home
hahaha
Thanks mate! ;D
I´ll be playing fron now for about 2 hours so hop online! :D
Wow that's great! Thank you Piboso.
My only concern so far is when playing with an Xbox360 controller. When I'm leaning the rider with the right joystick my mouse cursor moves at the same time and when it goes to my 2nd monitor the game loses the focus and is minimized as soon as I press any other button.
Has someone experienced the same problem or has an idea for a possible solution ? Is there a way to unlink the mouse cursor from the gamepad joystick ?
new feedback, there´s too much grip, almost no wheelspin, and the bike leans too little, other than that still great!
I will follow up on what mace said

yep, even the 250x, just goes straight to wheelie on mantova wich is sand so it´s super weird.
i can jam the throttle wide open on my crf 250 on the sand and it wont wheelie hahaha
I had that then deleted the bikes and tyres folders I'd copied over from my other install.. I put them there to try and somehow it messed something up. Maybe it had a copy of pibs tyres in it..

Fairplay to jlv, respectful and decent. Probably to much disgust of some of that community. I must admit, jlv's newest patch is pretty cool. It's nice having 2 sims. Who's up for a big discord style session this weekend?
Gonna give it a try gonna be weird been a sim player since 2013

There must be something wrong with your install? Have you got any modded tyre files?
Just wanted to say good work on this one. Leaps better. Love seeing this game progress.
Now uploading a Mirror Piboso

do a clean install, delete your MX Bikes folder that should be in your program files (x86) and reinstall the game just to make sure
http://forum.mx-bikes.com/index.php?topic=1914.0
do it step by step and it should work
Maybe I just got used to beta 7, but I miss the wheelspin as well. Was eventually using it to cut out of corners quicker, now I can't provoke it much at all.

remove your whole MX Bikes folder and install b8 again. Make sure you copied at least your controller settings and licence from documents folder. Before installation remove the Installation Folder and the Folder in Documents to make sure it's a fresh install. After first install I also wasn't able to join a server bc of the bike mismatch error. After the steps and reinstallation everything works like a charm

I found it, new "Traction Help" setting, uncheck that box and you'll see what I was missing :)
Well, I've been having a lot more fun with the new physics till I tried to go online... For some reason it only counts about 1 in every 5 lap times, people disappearing everywhere, getting taken out by people I don't see, and my screen glitches every few seconds... The physics have definitely taken a step in the right direction though!

The netcode was never suppposed to be addressed in Beta 8, thats why it behaves badly still.
I think collision should be turned off until netcode is better. Would help with getting hit by people that disappear. Less frustration ;)

numbers fix is easy, just uncheck and check "2d flags" again and it works, at least for me.
people disappearing is true, but i only had it at start. And my screen is fine tho
I'll try that out. Guessing changing the Low Med High for the network in settings doesn't change anything?
well thanks for the update. physics are better. but for a 9 month wait its a bit of a let down.
i thought for sure for how long we were waiting there would have been some work on the net code or a new rider model or something.
i really hope we dont have to wait that long again. i just dont see the point in the updates if we cant hold proper races with 20+ people.
thanks though :'(

Don't know what to say.. you know that Piboso is working on four titles? So it's way less development time for mxb than 9 months, its lore like 2/3 months. Anyway, like gdub already said: The netcode was never suppposed to be addressed in Beta 8, thats why it behaves badly still. And we havent even tested if the server can hold 20+ people (netcode besides). Netcode will be addressed in beta9.
Online last night with 10 or so people on Washington (a semi demanding track) and nobody jumped about or disappeared.
I was using very high bandwidth setting..
Long and short is we knew PiBoSo wasn't going to touch netcode without physics being on point. I'd like to think that the physics are more or less nailed and now netcode can take priority.
Perhaps the fact that it's now 64bit has helped online but I've ridden with lots of different people and have been close enough to bang bars.
It's a shame netcode wasn't a priority over physics, but it is what it is. I've had more fun in this beta in the short time it's been out than any since b2 or 3..
Good beta so far, only problems I've experience have been some missing legs on other riders, TrackIR no longer works for me and i think the sand grip is a bit high. Certainly it is a lot more fun to lap when you are not praying for the front end not to give up. :)
I am THOROUGHLY enjoying beta 8! Didn't start playing til beta 7, and even with all of the simulation helpers unchecked, I am noticing a huge improvement in physics (I do not use mods).
What I noticed mostly:
- Brake and throttle control while steering feels much, much better, although I do feel more of a restriction in lean angle as some others have mentioned, I'm wondering if that was the sacrifice for more control?
- Less front-end "flutter" and no extreme suspension responses under heavy dynamic terrain changes and ruts. And, the terrain changes seem even more aggressive and realistic, well done!
- Lots of settings to cater to the simulation or arcade style player. And I notice some people are addressing a problem with the front-end dipping when leaving the face of a jump, but I feel that is normal (especially on 4-strokes), and could possibly be added as a flywheel weight setting?
I have only played 8 for a few hours, and looking forward to trying some mods this beta. I say excellent work, Physics>Netcode! Thank you Piboso!!!
Just gotta say this guys, think it's obvious.
This game will be just incredible with the netcode fixed, can't wait to get a series going and see it grow. We need some big exposure to the big sim channels out there and really stamp mx bikes on the map.
this beta is so smooth online. racing the whole day today - enjoyed, and enjoyed, and enjoyed!
Pibs and guys, much thanks!
Love the BETA 8. Its exaclty what i wanted. This Game is on a WHOLE NEW LEVEL... I havent even PLAYED SIM since i tried BETA 8. Thanks guys u did a Banging Job.... Im putting hours in on this for sure. Im ONESHOTKILL609 in game RIDE WITH ME.....
Thanks Piboso!

OK so, several hours in and I'm noticing something..
Not sure if I'm alone but has anyone else noticed at very low speeds there is this almost ultra grip glue feeling where if you wobble to much it can buck you off the bike? Kinda hard to describe but it feels like extreme grip, I've edited tire files so they are at highest grip levels and this almost feels the same.
Really loving beta 8 though, would love to hear what the plans are from here and to see where you wanna dive into next. If I'm honest the physics are very close but still not all the way there. What's you guy's thoughts?

yep, am able to easily get the rider off his bike by turning one way and leaning the other a few times
I'm loving the fact that you can now charge much more than before. Whoops physics seem a lot better now, too.

Thank you.
Nailed the "netcode"! Zero freeze when others joined. There was a bit of a hiccup/freeze thingy going into the garage with 3 people in the non-Weekend Warriors server. That server was about 125 ping while WW's were about 250 from US West coast. There's still some bike-to-ground issues or suspension glitches. It's rideable 90% of the time, but goes psycho sometimes when impacts get bigger. Can't be more precise or eloquent about it I guess. However the traction predictability is extremely improved. Great progress, just UI anamolies and the weird physics thing left to iron and you should Steam it. This is just my dipshit opinion.
me once again to support devs :)
have had an amazing session today on js7 compound with few guys (BJ Slice, Reichs, Mattia and someone else). I know that netcode was not addressed for the beta but lag reducing can be fully confirmed (guess 64bit has made some sweet bonus). I rode and enjoyed other guys whipping and scrubbing SMOOTH, that was so fucking cool!
After a few days testing this beta, I must say for me the game is 150% funnier now. I can push a lot more and enjoy the 450. Landing jumps is not lottery now. This beta is a huge step. Congrats guys.

Sadly, I think we have all vocalized for a long time that this is what we want, it would keep people interested and engaged in keeping up with the game and being involved in the community, but I'm not sure that is the way Mr. Pib wants to do it. ???

Want or can ?
He has 3 otehr sims to support, each with a community asking for faster dev cycle.
Some say that once a bearded guy did some multiplication tricks with bread and fishes, but it's unconfirmed stuff at best :)
I've played all 4 of Piboso's game, and one things i have noticed (maybe I'm wrong), but it seems like other than physics, they all seem to be the same platform, or different versions of the same game, so maybe some of the updated apply to all? Does anyone know if all other titles have the same online problem? In my opinion MXB and KRP are the titles that show the most promise for the future. As a former kart and on-road driver I'd like to see KRP have a bright future as well 8). But that's why I thought in the past that all of his titles should just be 1 game called "Piboso", because I think that would be an awesome game, and a single, much larger community. Or maybe he just needs more developers!? ;)

After playing quite a lot and updating the OEM pack, I am REALLY happy with this beta. It had been a long time since I could enjoy a complete lap and get frustrated. Tyres, suspension, overall feel are way better. The move to 64bits also makes the online experience somehow smoother. Really, really enjoying it. The best compliment I can give now is that I can push harder, feel rewarded for risks I'm taking, and not ponder why I fall when I hit the ground. It's now officially a racing simulator.
A few things I noticed that could be improved still:
- The bikes still hit the rev limiter too much. I think your clutch torque values are too close to the actual maximum they can receive and you have slippage. Also, the limiter model might be a "hard" one (from a car?), whereas as far as I know motorbike limiters are much softer (they kinda ramp up). This is especially noticable on the 450f.
- There is an issue, that might be related to inputs more than models, when going slow. The front end locks up, the direction input gets very brutal and overcompensates the bike movement. This gives a very wobbly, edgy feeling at low speed.
- Handlebars go nuts when the front wheel skims over the ground when you have a light directional input. Might require a soft damper.
- I think there is still an issue with weight distribution, which makes the bike more twitchy than it should when grip is being lost, as well as too much grip to the front compared to the rear.
^^^I agree with all those points!
In regards to the clutch, I turned off Auto Clutch because when i would come into corners and the clutch would be engaged and the gear were not helping to slow down, but then I notice that there are a lot of times when the bike won't shift either up or down which can get a little annoying. There is also way too much rev limiter like Asdrael said. I seem to come out of corners and all I hear is rev limiter so I keep shifting up, it usually lasts till about 4th gear but then the bike is bogging down because I'm in too high of a gear.
In regards to online play, could getting rid of dirt files and animations help with online smoothness? Does lowering replay buffer help? Personally, there are only 2 animations I would like to see, tearoff (that would be awesome) and maybe for those of us using head tracking, if the head in game would follow your actual head movements! 8)
Whipping is good in this beta. However, when you whip big enough, the stability of the bike changes and will not bring the bike back. I understand whipping too hard can be risky even IRL but there will be some instances that you'll have to do it but stability issues comes in. It seems it lost the sense of weight and trajectory of the bike when whipping more than 90 degrees (unable to know exact angle but atleast close to it) left or right of Y axis. As soon as it starts doing the oppo whip, stability is off. I hope this is fixed. Thanks Piboso.
Note: tested it with only stock in-game bikes.
does anybody feel the physics a bit 'arcadey'? i mean it's too easy. all sort of whoops are 'never fall' and full throttle. i never rode through whoops irl and i'm not sure but they doesn't seem to be such a safe place lol another moment - i can go under angle down some real downhill (like on Washougal), brake quite hard, my rear end jumps crazy high - never fall. realistic? and the lap times. stock bikes are 6-7 seconds faster now. maybe this is because tracks are not broken enough or something but also a bit confusing. in the past times were more close to real.

Just notived that EdTracker (via FreeTrack) doesn't work with MXB beta8.
Is this related to the move to x64 ? Is there anything "extranl" needed by MXB in order to have FreeTrack work again ?

Thank you for the report.
The problem is indeed related to the 64 bit version.
The code has now been changed and the fix will be integrated in the next update.
However, there is an additional issue: the latest FreeTrack installer doesn't include the needed file "freetrackclient64.dll". There are some versions floating around the web ( that must be manually downloaded and installed ), but no official one, apparently.

Just notived that EdTracker (via FreeTrack) doesn't work with MXB beta8.
Is this related to the move to x64 ? Is there anything "extranl" needed by MXB in order to have FreeTrack work again ?
Thank you for the report.
That goes to davidboda46 on GBP forum :)

The problem is indeed related to the 64 bit version.
The code has now been changed and the fix will be integrated in the next update.
However, there is an additional issue: the latest FreeTrack installer doesn't include the needed file "freetrackclient64.dll". There are some versions floating around the web ( that must be manually downloaded and installed ), but no official one, apparently.
Personally I use opentrack (which can expose a device as freetrack and provides a lot of fine-tuning) and from what I've read/understood it should work fine with x64: https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/issues/117 (https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/issues/117)
Not sure about the "Use Process Explorer to see if npclient64.dll is used by the game process" : does it mean that MXB should load this instead of freetrackclient64.dll ?

The file NPclient64.dll is used for the TrackIR ( Natural Point ) interface. It is an official file, but unfortunately it is not correctly loaded by MX Bikes beta8 either.
The FreeTrack interface should use freetrackclient64.dll instead.

OpenTrack can "emulate" TrackIR too (i.e. it can send EdTracker output via a TrackIR interface).
So, in absence of a freetrackclient64.dll, should this do the trick ? Maybe only after the fix you mentioned on top of beta8 ?
