You may wish to familiarise yourself with the distance between the United States and Australia.

I realize the distance from the US to Australia.

My ping for a server that is pretty much anywhere in the US is 35ms so I don't think ping will be an issue, even considering the great distance.

we should rename this thread by deleting the words "cars" and "in"

Lol, I'm sure the devs are working on S3 as we speak.

Quote from dekojester :

From today, the server is only open to those who met the entry requirements. You did not attend enough sessions to meet the entry requirements.

Okay, I understand.

Okay, so could you PM me with the new password? The website isn't updated.

I keep getting the "wrong password" message for the server, was it changed?

1. I just started 2 weeks ago. I love it!
2. Best physics and overall gameplay of any sim I've seen/tried.
3. Cheaper than a lot of other sims. I mean $32 and you get all of the content, that's a good deal!
4. Low, low sytem requirements, still giving amazing graphics. I run a stock Gateway slimline that's 3 years old, with integrated Intel graphics, yet I. Get 50 FPS in most situations. That's efficiency!
5. Great community with plenty of servers and events.

6. (Because 5 just isn't enough) The modability, I haven't seen many other sims that allow you to make skins, let alone completely original content.

Quote from Mustangman759 :

your biggest problem was that you were taking T3 low, when you need to take it towards the high side

Yeah, found that out, my laps are much better now.

But I now have unexpected plans for today, that take up the whole day, so I won't be able to run either practice and that pretty much blows my chances of running the 250, since I went out of yesterday's practice early and wasn't able to run any other sessions. So I don't meet the requirements for running the 250. There's always next year, I suppose.

Okay, I thought there was a layout, just didn't know it was only on the server.

Thanks for answering my question.

Quote from Eclipsed :

Since you're new here,just tried to point out (in my weird way) that LFS isn't that much customizable. And about edit of your previous post - there is commitment cone on pit entry,should check the track more carefully! Use shift+U to look around,if you have any doubts.

Is there a Kyoto 250 layout that I missed? The default KY layout doesn't have a commitment cone.

I may be new to LFS, but I'm not stupid, I knew about the Shift+U camera.

Quote from CodeLyoko1 :

be sure you read all the rules and name regulations. Also, get your set fixed before the prac sessions, since it's a race prac. I just felt bad for you last race not knowing what to do XD

Well, I didn't know if he (Jonathan) meant me or not, I knew perfectly fine what to do if was talking to me. I actually read the rules before I even signed up. And yeah, I've gotten my setup pretty good, at least better than it was. I can now take T3 nearly full throttle.

...yea,and make someone to clean windshield,a sexy girl to pass the drink,and blackjack,and hookers and stuff...

Alrighty then... Not really sure why you're mocking me.

Quote from dekojester :

I believe you'll find that the NDR Sporting Code section on Pitlane echoes those rules. Drivers are asked to stay in the driving lane unless stopping. I noticed some abysmal situational awareness during Friday's early session, with the bumping and barging. Yes, I know you all want to make up as much time as possible, but avoid contact doing so.

If it would help vision of the pit stalls, I can add chalk lines and/or poles to help mark them. I will complete the spaces with chalk when I get home from work in a few hours, other objects later.

You could also make flags that are coming out of the garage stalls, much like the flags NASCAR pit crews use to signal their driver.

Edit: It might also be beneficiary to make a commitment cone and blend cone.

I'm in, should be 12 PM CST, so I'm definitely good on time.

Final update, I hope. I felt like the NDR Logo was too hidden, so I moved it and mad it more visible. It's still on the side of the rear bumper, so it complies with the skin guidelines.

I'm definitely in.

My contract deal got finalized, so I'll now be sporting Advocare as my sponsor.

I'd say that's not too bad for a single day's work. I also uploaded this to LFS World, for if you're too lazy to install it manually.

Making the contingency decals was a pain the butt! But it was worth the effort IMO.

I know a team isn't needed, I'd just like to have one, and I have a deal lined up, if only the owner would respond.

But I'll enter now and if he agrees, I'll modify my entry.

Okay, thanks for your help. Not sure if I'll be able to compete now, I'm hopeful that I will though. It'll be my first "big" race in LFS if I'm able to make it.

I'm not able to actually enter on the website just yet, still need to get confirmation that I have a ride with a team for the race.

Hey, I have a question that I've looked all around for, but I can't find the answer. Is this race 250 km, mi, or laps? I ask because I'm on a limited time table, so whichever is used to measure the race will affect my being able to compete.

Here's a Bridgestone sponsored skin, I have a number 6 version, with reversed colors, but I'd like to keep that one to myself since I use it. This is also my first skin for the FBM.

Excuse the Michelin tires, forgot to change them before I took the shots.


Enjoy!

That's awesome! A great skin supporting a great cause.

My mom would love this, she likes anything that has to do with supporting breast cancer awareness/research. Well done, classicmonkeymagic.

I was trying some new setups that I downloaded and it seems one of them overwrote the default Blackwood_race setup, which is the best setup I've found so far. I guess I just have to practice with the other setups.

So can anyone upload their default Blackwood setup?


Any help is much appreciated.
