Hi Admin blokes,

We at FUBAR Racing would really like to have a wee saltire against our team instead of the union jack.

I understand the tracker is the issue here.

Is it really a major fix (you're speaking to a total technophobe here :tilt because if not it really would be much appreciated

[SCO]

??

Cheers

The reason is the following: The sign-up post says:

Quote from Trekkerfahrer :

Three letter nationality codes can be viewed HERE

On that page, SCO is not listed as a nationality because, technically, it isn't really. I'm afraid you're all lumped under the Union Jack (GBR)!

But maybe the admins will see your passion to not want to be part of our Kingdom and change it.

Don't admit this here! Someone might be an employee of a well-known petroleum company.... :hide:

Quote from Becky Rose :

I appear to be physically incapable of starting a conversation without one of the first things I say being to ask how somebody is, it's a trivial question, and one which establishes the pleasantries and allows a conversation to grow naturally and wander off down the path of aimless natter - this is grand, except...

Lately i've been doing a lot of hospital visits to a family member, he's very week and clearly asking if he's ok is going to be a really stupid question so I dont ask it.

The problem is, i'm so ingrained in starting conversations this way I struggle to start one any other way, and the last two times i've been i've stood there like a lemon.

grrr at social conditioning...

To provoke a pleasant answer, like you normally expect, ask 'how aren't you?'. It's not rude and it will begin the conversation in the way you are used to.

It wasn't him who actually scared me. I super hot woman could have popped up and I still would have had the same reaction.

Oh, now I've watched the whole thing, I just shit bricks

What the hell were you laughing at before?

I'm still shaking slightly. I'll never trust anything like that ever again. I dragged the image into the address bar and it showed as a jpg but if you actually save the file, it's a .jpg.gif. I'm usually on the ball with this kind of thing; first time in about 2 years I've fallen victim to something like that.

Damn it! Now who am I going to rip off with my low low bargaining...?

Quote from GabbO :

What do others say (after 4 laps of racing)?

I recommend changing procedure and forcing a pitstop/driver change instead of disqualifying the team. I had moments in that race where I was definitely having problems with the car; sometimes worse than what the driver above was suffering. In my opinion, disqualification was excessive and harsh. That's what I say.

Quote from BigTime :

This is an idea that should have been put in the sim from the get go... Quite frankly, it's ignorant not to allow it. The exclusion of the ability to repair certain things, or change certain tires, basically limits the usage of many strategies that are used in real life and other simulations. This very simple change will give drivers more options when preparing for a race.

Indeed! I recall ToCA 2 Touring cars even gave the user the option to change fronts, rears, lefts and rights, or all four tyres. That was a great feature; and was 10 years ago.

You'll find out in the end so why worry now?

I want to know if I should waste my life on LFS and do something useful in heaven; like play more LFS.

Quote from G!NhO :

When they add the break off wings this will have effect, because the aerodynamics off the car are different if you wont have wings anymore.

I see, so you're just thinking into the future. All hail Ginho from the future!!!

Quote from G!NhO :

Imo it would be good to have a seperate option in F12 screen, one option is for body damage and the other will be for mechanical damage.

SO you can choose not to repair the body damage but you will be able to repair the mechanical damaga which saves time in the pitstop.

But body damage doesn't actually affect the driving of the car (except for rare circumstances where the front wing of the car is either on or under the ground) so I can't really see the usefulness of this. I could stand to be corrected.

No surprises there, cheers

Seems like you guys have lost your sense of humor.

I wouldn't mind but it's freaking HUGE!

Quote from LFSn00b :

Wow, seriously? I get to be in a ****ing lol picture? I fail to see any funnyness in that, because I was in a ****ing hurry to get my setup on and picked up the setupgrid setup by accident.

Seriously, it happens to everyone, atleast once in the lifetime you will forget something.

For what it's worth, it isn't really a 'lol' because it's not funny. It's kind of disappointing. And it's too big.

Posted on my team's forum:

Here's what happened: I qualified 18th and James started the race. He drove some decent times with a couple of spins. All was good. During my stint, I made it as high as overall 13th which I was very happy with. Then it went wrong. While being lapped, the faster car braked far too late and sent me flying into a wall, causing massive damage. I then had to pit to repair the damage. During the stop I mistakenly added 100% fuel which made my car feel like a slice of crap. It all went downhill; the car felt awful and I spun several times due to cooling tyres. I pitted to change the tyres and then pitted again to repair damage and managed to just about hold off for 18th position. I'm not happy with how it went considering we could have easily brought it home in 14th; beating sonicrealms in the process. I will now happily bow out for the South City race: I'd rather eat my own liver than drive that track!

You know what IGTC and MoE do? They have the same PW for every race, and nothing seems to go wrong (apart from the legedary 'GO CONDEDODGERS' incident). It would probably make things simpler if you don't like sending PMs.

Quote from Bean0 :

Traffic shaping by ISP ?
Sounds suspiciously like it if you always hit the same limit.

I would suggest anyone having issues updates their browser, any addons, and also Flash. Might even be worth starting a new Firefox profile to test in.

I contacted my ISP about the problem but they sent me a response that was unrelated to my problem. I checked around and I can't see anyone else suffering from the same problem; but I am suspicious.

I have the exact same problem. Although, I had a go with IE as well and it didn't make a difference. On average, the streaming was at 200kbits/s while all other sites are at my network's maximum. Very strange.

Ya turned the pic upside-down?

Anyway, where the hell is Gills? He hasn't posted a good set of crazy images in a few days...

There's only two groups of people in this forum: Those on my ignore list, and those nearly on my ignore list.

Aside from hyntty, he'll hurt me in one of his drunken rages if I add him

I quite liked it! The voice acting was good and the images looked nice (although a little repetitive) and went well with the music. You could tell there's passion for this race team.
