A little later on ....
*bump*
Heres how things look today, nearly 3 months on from the introduction of patch Y :revs:
The biggest surprise i think has to be the No1 WR holder currently, having caused a few rumbles among hotlappers, just as surprising is the lack of a certain dude called biggie. Arco did very well to hold 1st place and fight off a few attacks from the established racers and still remains with reach in 3rd, with Worm looming in the background (also a table leader in the past) i think this fight for top isnt over yet.
Looking at the Nutter rank John Rees seems to be making a good headway into taking 1st place (go go UK
) but again Rob Newman is dragging the hardwork done by the rest of UK drivers down with some terrible times (*see nations handicap) but the effort is there at least. Marcel still holding onto first place, but for how long ?the obvious name missing here is Renku (maybe S2 final eh
)Moving over to the MHR rank , the king of nub Jonesy resisdes at the top after surving tit for tat battling with pro racer csimpok since the start of this season. Bratwurst really doing well in 3rd proving good consistancy accross the board.
I wonder how this combination of charts will look in another 3 months or so.
I dont think its jealousy at all. I think most hotlappers relish the challenge of competing for a WR, i know i do and many others.
The difference is respect, and i think and trust pecholobo is making ammends for the conduct exhibited in the past.
This is the difference between a fast driver and a great driver , respect
I would agree some tracks did have and some still do need fine tuning for hotlap purposes (racing also) and i do agree that this particular part of Kyoto does have issues with HVLC.
Good to see you posting in forums pecholobo, i think you have done yourself few favours with some of the SO laps you have done in the past, but i im sure your learning how harsh this community can be
This is somthing the devs to need to look at, for now in HLVC it is not invalid , but crosses a few moral values.

NO!
I think you need locking up
But please lets keep the recent mentality of destroying threads with this sorta "non"sense. and calls for it to be locked i for one would like to keep this thread open and flowing please.
Ian once you get to know him is really quite a decent fellow, sometimes you need someone around you who will say the things the majority of people wont dare say or wont say.
Agreed DWB, i found that with my experience with dSRC, people got worn out or RL commitments take precident, as they should (good job i dont have this thing people call RL)
Im confident in saying that along with my old team [dSRC] and the other leading teams back in 2004-2006 there was some of the finest racing and admining of servers.
What i do notice also as mentioned somewhere in another post (i think) Is the level and quality of administration, has dropped considerably on public racing servers. This itself has impact just as great as the progress you mention DWB.
Now back to the point of "burning out" I see it all the time with the veterans of this game and a few others, some are more resiliant to others, to the fact that the "same old" is all that they are doing.
But this"same old "is damn fine, when it clicks, the full grid, pushing your belief in your own ability and limits of the simulated car/track
CTRA has helped and also been a hinderence, i do have an issue with the toying of mixed vehicle class grids. But i can also understand they need to get it populated to sustain its popularity.
But it hard to keep yourself interested in somthing for a long period of time no matter what it may be, to quote a freind in recent chat.
What happens when this is how you feel ? Blame the devs ? Blame the forums ? Blame the game ? Take a break ?
I dont know the perfect awnser for everyone, but to move on and forwards sometimes you have to forgive,forget and most importantly
accept things for how they are. Im not saying you should lie down and die, or believe everything you read or see. But to focus on the positive rather then the negative, take the good from that bad. Hard i know, but nothing is really easy, when nothing works.

Reason : *errors
Maybe the devs do need a kick up the backside now and again, maybe they dont
Speaking for myself again, i need constant motivation from external influences.
What i was speaking about eariler wasnt "dev bashing", just to re-ittereate the essence of the meaning of "live for speed" form the perspctive i have.
Axus to follow on from your point/
There was constant exitement, anticipation "back in the days"
Thats half the problem i think its just as much "fun" or as "serious" as it has always been. The problem its harder to find it, for pickup races.
Why , simple we have an influx of this "its ok its just a bit of fun" attitude when it comes to servers. We already had an issue of empty servers with a few regular names that servered the community very well.
Then along came RedlineRacing and CTRA and the onlsaught of insim mods (not that i think they dont deserve to do what they do some of the apps are fantastic)
What im merely saying that this small community has been fractured to even smaller groups over the last 2 years or so.
The amount of ignorance by those who claim to be in it for the game, is laughable sometimes. I think some people have their own agendas when commenting on issues regarding the userbase of LFS.

Hate to sound like a broken record with my opinion (for those that know it)
Basically this game is "old" people are bored with content (those that have been around for 3-4 years or more) , people move on and come back now and again to see whats happening , statiscally the game is doing "ok" turnover of new racers/old.
What disturbs me is how the Devs have let things like cruise servers stay part of this RACING SIMULATOR
Problem is you guys ike nothing more then to bitch and whinge. (i am also guilty see above ^ & below)
The problem, the majority of these issues (imo) are the amount of useless servers (although "some people" will argue that everyone has a right to host). Also that none (read majority of admins+racers ) of you are willing to sit on a server to get it populated, back in "the old days" i know some of the long serving members/racers of this community would be on a server for hours, watching like a hawk. Also you have insim coder wannabe's creating this problem with cruise servers and other things that run a bit deeper like CTRA midly affecting the breeding ground of the comunity.
Im sick of people thinking its a decline in users, although some forms of racing are sufferung very badly. Its a shift of focus .. nothing more, nothing less imo.
Live for Speed
What ever happened to that ?
Live to Cruise & drift (and race when you can find it eh)

MM perhaps , its a bios issue , dual-bios , each one with different settings? or alternativley , you guys are not switching CPU or OS or the OS key by any chance 
The only other thing i know that will throw this off is if a different hardware profile is loaded on restart.

mmm different .... but at least one is creating , thats the important part
Perhaps run LFS in a window and monitor CPU/system/resources/load ?
This is a benchmark for LFS , is relatively simple to follow.
http://lfsbench.iron.eu.org/?c=completemax
People seem to forget how much the AI drains CPU time.
Compare the high detail setting to the min.

Up north round here, a gripper is someone who breaks legs for fun, or it can be a butch female. Both are pretty scary
Sounds like the remnants of the LOPvirus or variant/
Simple fix is edit the registry, you'll find it in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
it some form of ADhijack afiak, i had problem with a machine just this last week with the same thing.
It looks like you have killed the virus but have traces of functions of its operating proccedure.
interesting points made throughout the discussion as i skipped thourgh the posts, which reminded me to post my contribution, a film The Man From Earth
Thinking about it a bit more, It could be useful commenting system 
It just with the amount of Hotlaps uploaded, would this create a problem ? maybe hotlaps for that get WR or within the top 10 could have somthing. Like i say im not sure how this would affect operation of LFSWorld or complexity to incoperate, but as Victor is planning/working on new LFSworld features or whole site maybe it wont be such a bad idea after all.

Cruise Filter for LFSWorld
Perhaps Add a "Cruise" Filter to Racers & Hosts Online ?
I thought you would of made the switch years ago
I'm also in the researching stage of perhaps relocating to somewhere in the Nordic reigons, I'm leaning towards the prospect of Estonia, who knows , my timeframe for this is 2010-ish.
Anyhow its a great thread , and surely it will be an interesting journey of life, all the best of luck with phase 2 and beyond.

You can type a message in the SPR , and PM works fine in LFSWorld, and chatterbox, and also racing online & of course these forums. If you want to perhaps ask the hotlapper for a set or just curious how long was spent on that particular lap, just ask.
Sorry Hyperactive nice idea, but personally for me, doesnt really warrant the work involved imo. And i think the majority of people uploading the hotlaps wouldnt use the system. However i could be worng and it could turn out to be useful .... who knows

In the late Xpatch era , the restrictions were doing "ok" but the FXO lacked acceleration a fraction, maybe its still to early to be really sure what needs modifying on this particular class with the changes that have taken place, as its been just over a month since the introduction of Version Y.
I do think there are a lot of fast racers out there who have yet to hotlap the XRT or RB4 (where is biggie?) So basing results from hotlapping and racing is a little premature just yet, but the obvious signs are there.
I think i remember scawen mentioning the curret temp/wear model isnt really that accurate. Maybe when the next phase/patch comes perhaps the issue of temp/wear will be a non-issue along with balancing in the TBO class.
Has FXO killed the TBO star ?
Will the XRT make it to the next Episode in one piece ?
And will the RB4 ever find love ....

Gotta agree with op, maybe its been requested before big deal, no need to act insane dustin, and whats this ? FXO is a noobcar? .... ok in that case they all are, they all goverened by the code in place, are they not ? ... the problem with people (myself included) is that they are limited by themsleves sometimes, you hear what im saying ?
Some times dustin in life you gotta listen to what people tell you to do. As most things in life its all about timing, and this thread for me is outa time.

Just to add to what i mentioned earlier regarding server balancing , i noticed this thread for those interested.
I would consider a little more the 30kg , at least weight of a passenger (is the wieght of this documented anywhere) somewhere between 55-80kg i think would even things up a lot.
