Point 2: Pressure is a strange one, while some men buckle under it, some excel under the exact same scenario.
For me the less stress the more i will enjoy the racing. Usually focus much easier and keep attention longer.

@ JJ72

Point 1: Nothing like having a target.

Is it not possible for ctra to use the current test patch ?
on server 2 ?

I do admit some of the split placements could be better.



Very brave suggestion.

Just set teh damn server to TBO mmmk

Finally getting rid of the useless tyre chicane at FE2 perhaps ?

Quote from Jakg :

I would get 10million times more enjoyment driving any car around a "parking lot" for 6 months than LFS, but i doubt it'l cost less than S2

Just 10 million are you sure, and is it the same parking lot ? same car ?

Id get prettty bored fast , id get 20 million times more pleasure just watching you drive it for 6 months

Thats the spirit

Qualifying started :goodvibes

Sod the football > Im in

Not sure if this is a bug with the track or new validation.

But it valiadates this lap SO3 FXO (lap 5)

(I'll delete it in a bit just feels good getting a little bit closer to eza in FXO rank for the time being )

omg mecury got 2 nubs now

Good Luck Michael

I still think my idea would work just fine with any class of vehicle tbh on any track
No need to restrict any vehicle, no extra mass....

Maybe just set a limit on the possible laptimes ?

e.g.

Set a lap time limit on BL1 to 1.21 , any car passing that limit gets a time penalty ?

Just a thought

Quote from thisnameistaken :

The world would be a dull place if it wasn't for the joy of trouncing England at something.

They are even trouncing us at hotlapping

Great to see LFSWorld and the recent additions getting some good coverage there.

Looks like damage, as the wheel is kinda static in relation to damage model.

moah \_/

happy brithday FLP resent:

One other idea i dont think has been mentioned is the ability to compare more then 2 rafs/hotlaps

using 3 for example.

1.WR hotlap
2.Another fast hotlap with faster sector then WR hotlap
3.Your hotlap

Just thinking out aloud really now, but viewing the top 3 would be nice
but then where do you stop ? how many should be comparable ?

@Fuse, I liked the layout made sense to with the structure of cars etc in classes. i Guess that there a few more changes yet perhaps.

@vicc is there a test page or smth you have setup ? if you ever need tester for this project id be more then willing to help where i could

@myself Stop dreaming!

ok added as link , sorry

It can be confusing as that image alters the obvious selection proccess. (with hindsight really moving it below the car selection would of made it easier)

So i made another idea screenie to make it a bit easier to follow
see here > http://demoncomputers.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/stuff/idea1.jpg

For the buddy filter , once selected the "buddy" , for now lets say its also set to compare to ones self. Then i pressume next screen would be list of hotlaps, (would it be possible that clicking the track buttons would then allow further filtering (if so would all tracks button be needed?)

The Rank Filter mm not sure how best it would be to use that. Primarily i thought that perhaps, it could be used to list the rank table for chosen selection e.g. XRT, then selecting the driver will then list laps done for that rank and then user can chose which ones to investigate.

Also not sure if other people found the OK button location a bit odd. I thought below cars and at far right would be more natural (as it is in the game)

Anyhow i think i need a coffee or smth


*edit*

Heres alternative layout, at moment feels like the Buttons for the tracks need 50% less width would make it far easier to organise the spaces on a smaller display, although with 22" (1650x1080) works ok as it is.

Here is the layout ammendment.

noticed a new Icon on LFSworld

Just a quick mock up of some ideas following on from suggestion of comparing other class cars.

http://demoncomputers.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/stuff/idea.jpg



Basically clicking on "compare rank" would then goto screen> with driver list from there click the two drivers to compare (or just one if ticked box). Then list the tracks for the compared drivers then click the track > loads both rafs to compare.
The same for "compare racer" except, maybe just lists available hotlaps to compare if any. *edit* only issue is when large amounts are available to compare, how can they be filtered without multiple menus.*
And "search racers" to check a racers hotlaps ?

workable or not ?

Not a bad idea to group the possible comparisons with the current catagories. Quite useful it could be.

I think for some people it can feel like longer if they, like myself and countelss others use the test patches, there is progress and sometimes even though it feels like things have stopped , just look a little closer.

I have always thought the main site has lacked a little with relation to updates regarding LFS developement, but thats not what its for. (although i would of thought that regualr updates, news of test patches etc, would breath a little life into it)

A quick hop from the main site and the forum/LFSworld is all you need for the Info regarding LFS, but do all visitiors have the time and energy for all that ? (and i still think LFSworld needs more promotion)

Quote from three_jump :

there some things that I think are worth mentioning on the new customer main page...

- LFS Remote
- LFS Instant Hotlap analyzer...

I still hoping that this gets added as "news" at some point

Agreed. It is news btw here

Aha thanks for that, feel even more stupid then ever now

Aha .. I had suspicion it was somthing along those lines, just thought odd as only happens after machine has been rebooted and its first thing loaded into adress bar.

Anyways was just thinking ....is it/would it possible to output temps of the tyres for IHA ?

Would be quite infomative to see where tyres take most punishment/wear.

Not sure if this is a bug (or just possible software on this OS causing it) at a friends house which causes IE excpetion on loading of Link for IHA.



Strange this is only happens after a reboot , its the first thing loaded in IE .. after the initial excpetion it runs fine...
