well assuming that there would be no other way in the next couple of mounths/ years or so you could send me a script or something about what youre planning to do (cam position, movements & angle for each screne, prefered fov, screen resolution, fps and so on). Depending on the complexity i could see what i can do for you and then upload the pieces to rapidshare, megaupload or whatever you prefer.

Quote from Forbin :

You'll rarely find me in public servers these days unless I'm practicing for a league event, and even then I'll sometimes do that offline so I can collect telemetry data.

Im very glad about that...friggin Alien!!! (not )

discovered the demo at the end of Oct 02 and had so many nice races. I was always to lazy to get the licence but thanks to lfs.de it was finally possible for me in Feb 04. Had also no credit card, paypal whatsoever and lfs.de made it at some point possible to order and pay it via bank account if i remember this correctly. How many miles? I dont know, maybe 50000+? Who cares...

my version is still unlocked and maybe i could help you out somehow.

well we are still driving BF1 now and then i guess and the GTR server was also around for quite a while now but yeah, the server is packed with some really nice and experienced racers atm and its much more fun then ever before actually Hope to cya around buddy

Hello Racers,

Fragmaster (particularly FM-Failure ) has finally solved the issue which emerged after the last insim update and upgraded the so called "newbie filter" and now proudly presents the brand new GTR/ Oval servers (also many thanks to [FPR]Yankman at this point for his time and help ). There are basically two servers available. First would be the (FM) OvaL StArTerS server which is there to get used to the cars (just in case you're new to this combination) &/ or to gather the requirements which are needed in order to join the second server (FM) NascaR 5oo . You need to have at least 200 laps and a laptime of 39.20 at one of each cars. Proper setups are available here http://setupfield.teaminferno.hu (make sure you read the info for each "hotlap" setup). It is also possible to download hotlap replays from here www.lfsworld.net to maybe compare and correct your race line or maybe you're even better and then upload your very own hotlaps.

summary for lazy forum users ():

- updated insim "newbie filter"
- two servers available, (FM) OvaL StArTerS & (FM) NascaR 5oo
- requirements for the (FM) NascaR 5oo are: 200 laps & laptime: 39.20 with any car
- get setups here http://setupfield.teaminferno.hu
- get hotlap replays here www.lfsworld.net
- make sure your setup is adjusted properly (added mass position, tires, downforce, fuel) / you can also ask other people for help/ setups of course
- amount of laps depends on the number of players (usually 8 laps no pit stops or 20 laps with forced pitstop)


Basic rules are as follows (applied at both servers):

- standing on track is not allowed since there is no pace car around (check the map and your mirrors after a fatal crash and pit in/ spectate if necessary)

- always pass on the inside & let pass on the inside, do not block (only exeption would be the last lap after turn 3 if you think that you really have to win, movements that forces a crash at this point can result in a kick/ ban)

- do not download while racing, players with high pings are unacceptable for this kind of racing (0.30+ will be removed)

- obey the blue flag rule: do not interfere with cars that are ahead of you in the grid order (let them pass and if you are able to catch the draft, stay behind and do not overtake)


The idea behind it is rather obvious i think. This system has been created to "force" people that are having none or less practice at either the vehicles, the track or the behaviour on track in general to check if they could enjoy this kind of action or to simply prove themselves and their skills. The oval is different compared to other tracks which makes it surely not less enjoyable. So if you're able to burn some fast laps into the tarmac and got your 200 laps together then feel free to join the advanced/ pro server and get some practice with other people at your level or learn from those who are quicker or are more experienced with certain techniques such as drafting.


Good luck & have fun!!

The Fragmaster Team

Quote from Ramses :

The starters server is a bit of a confusion at the moment though. It started off with BF1 as way to keep the noobs away from the Junkies server but at some point it switched to GTR and stayed that way. It will be fixed though because the naming is confusing.

great news guys, keep up the good work

and so much for this "stupid" thread :

LFS nothing new for long time!

well, without pointing at someone in particular i just wanted to mention that there are two things which are completely worthless having and argue about. Generalizations and the good old question of taste.

I like all sorts of movies and in general it depends on my mood. My favorites are surely those with sci-fi & action components but once in a while i like to watch a rather stupid movie or shall i say, something funny where i do not actually need to use my brain as i would do it with thrillers, dramas, you name it. There are some really good movies out there and i hate to prejudge a movie by its cover, title or some odd critics. I agree that there is also a lot of junk available. My sensors are quite good adjusted for this stuff but once in a while even those can fail and i probably would have missed some real good movies if i wouldn't have watched them later out of coincidence or so.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Infernal Affairs is unrelated to Internal Affairs.

The Departed is a direct remake of Infernal Affairs.

thanks, good to know

Quote from bbman :

Point? Every idiot thinks it's a film by Scorsese, when he just (very badly) copied a perfectly good film, just like Van Sant did with "Psycho"... They did credit the original writers at imdb (for fairness, I suppose), but can you find their names anywhere on this? Or any other poster or box-art? No? There you go, next time get all the facts, not just guess...

Regarding your comments you seems to have a problem with me in a personal nature (i got it, just checked your post history, one of them anti oval fraction guys, hate the track - hate the players eh? illepall). Just in case there is a next time, i prefer to either ignore you or put you on the list. Besides, it IS a film by Scorsese but the story is INDEED from someone else. I never denied this did i?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338564/

You can imagine what you want, I watched both and it is exactly how I stated... He just crossed names out (including the original writer's/director's), replaced them with others and gave it another title (hell, the original title even was the work title!), therefore I (or anybody else for that matter) can't possibly say it's his film...

oh really?

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0407887/
http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0338564/
http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0099850/

at "the Departed" Siu Fai Mak is clearly mentioned as writer who was also responsible for "Mou gaan dou" but it seems to me that both earned the rights from an earlier movie called "Internal Affairs". So after checking your link which refers to "Mou gaan dou" im not really sure what point you are trying to make.

Quote from bbman :

Strike out "The Departed"... Apart from changing the names of people and putting it somewhere else (the States), it's a 1:1 copy of "Internal Affairs"...

strike out? What you said might be true but that doesn't changes the fact that "the Departed" is a Scorsese movie. And i can't imagine thats its a 1:1 copy but i haven't seen the other one yet.

http://us.imdb.com/find?s=all& ... l+Affairs&x=8&y=7

just use my racer name, which im using ever since i got my licence btw My lfs user name, well lets say it appeared out of a decent mood

Maybe another barrier for me but maybe not. Fact is the story had a really funny beginning or shall i say rather stupid? Out of coincidence they discover this place exactly 100 years after the last contact and the tunnel down to the pyramid has been created by the predator vessel 24h before the team arrived? Mother alien who is like what, a thousand years old and is getting little baby aliens only every hundred years or so? Not to mention the mean jackass penguin For me this just spoiled the rest of the movie and i wasnt able to take it as "serious" as the classics.

so does your qualification enables you to keep the warranty?

well i think Scorcese's "Gangs of New York" and "the Departed" where two very nice movies actually. Havend seen the rest since casino exept these two but i believe they have simular quality...

regarding DBW last comment, i agree that it was a funny movie but not actually something i did expected. I have seen worse and its truly not one of my favorites. Matter of taste i guess.

Quote from Hankstar :

:rolleyes: I already gave two solid examples where things did indeed happen the opposite way, with a sequel surpassing the first movie: Aliens and The Empire Strikes Back. I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm saying it's very rare and a woeful piece of shit like the first AvP movie is not a good place to start.

There have been plenty of times in my life where I've expected something to be bad and I was pleasantly surprised. However, after a lifetime of being completely anal about films/games/books I've honed a pretty good crap-detector. Sometimes it's easy to get it right with festering sores like Armageddon, the entire FnF series, anything with Ben Affleck (except Good Will Hunting) and other times I'm surprised by how good a film is. But not often. Most of the time my initial reaction to a preview, or to the first ten minutes of any film, is justified.

But I'm not completely dogmatic about this. If AvP2 turns out to kick ass on the original, I'll happily eat my words.

Kev makes a good point: AvP sucked, everyone knows it & any sequel to it is only ever going to be a cash-in. Gawd, they might even make a trilogy out of this shit! Why not? They made a third and then fourth Alien film. *vomit* Bastards.

And don't get me started on The Italian Job. The whole point of the original 60s film was that real Minis can go where normal-sized cars can't. Fast-forward to the latest version, where you have BMW Mini remakes, which are exactly the same size as normal cars (defeating the purpose entirely), in a half-arsed Hollywood remake, trying to replicate the fun and originality of the first film but really just shilling for BMW. Bah, blasted humbug. If they really wanted to re-make it properly, they would have used something tiny and hilarious, like a Smart FourTwo

fair enough, i think ill blame it on them usual language barriers (or maybe at the laziness that emerged after i felt a slightly taste of a generalisation ) that i wasn't able to figure that out of the context. Anyhow im rather confident about the second part but when it turns out to be crap as well then heck there are plenty of other movies around at the time i presume. Not to mention the proceeding of LOST

forgive me if i miss the point of your presumptions but when there are good movies and the sequel was crap then why shouldn't it happen the opposite way? Im afraid we have to find that out. I hate to prejudge a movie and yet even good/ crap trailers are not worth doing a safe judgement. Let me ask you something, have you ever had a situation where you thought that its going to be crap, or a book or movie or whatever would be boring but it turns out to be ok or even better?

Quote from Hankstar :

Just saw Death Proof, that was good for a laugh
Alien v Predator - bah. First one sucked, I don't imagine the sequel will be any better. If people aren't going to do a proper job, crossovers should be left to comic books (anyone remember the Batman/Judge Dredd crossovers? Too cool). The Alien saga should have ended with Aliens & Predator 2 should have been the last of that story. Seriously, there are so many good stories in the world to make films out of (or, god forbid, you could make a film which isn't drawn from a book, tv show or another film), why is Hollywood so quick to makes sequels to or trilogies from films that sucked balls in the first place?

well i think you are currently comparing apples with bananas. AvP2:R will be different because of several important facts. Directors, writers and cast is different not to mention the hole rest of the crew. AvP of course was boring because the script was awful and it had none of the raw emotion or power of the Predator or Alien movies. It had some nice effects and it had true potential but the fact that the hole movie was located at a god forsaken place somewhere (where was it again, northpole or something? (Sector 14 :nod who cares...) made this movie even more worse.

So im looking forward and the trailer looks like we are getting something more "original" again, if not better (hopefully ).

Quote from GFresh :

Yeah, i've been looking forward to "Cloverfield" (Has it been given this title now? it was only a working title before) since i read about it in the June/July copy of Empire, i can't wait .

Also really looking forward to the new AvP.

yup, if its not been changed again meanwhile

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

3:10 to Yuma was quite good, though I didn't really buy the ending.

Bale and Crowe were both great, though. Not to mention Peter Fonda.

thought so too, it has this old school touch and is an instant classic

and its not even his setup lol, besides that its screwed.

Quote from chanoman315 :

oh forgot... i know that tooo just forgot to put that in post...thx anyway..

i want info of how to make a good suspension and gearbox

for the suspension id say its a matter of taste, you dont want it too soft or too stiff and it should give you a good feeling for every situation (corner entry/exit; straight behaviour (optimal compensation for tarmac irregularities)) . As for the gearbox, well check out current hotlaps from the top of the list and see what speed they get and then try to reach simular or even better results if possible

Last edited by 510N3D, Tue 27 Nov 2007, 18:05.

yup just checked the trailers, looks also very interesting. What do you think about "3:10 to Yuma"? Maybe a Mod could rename the thread into something like "Movies: what are You waiting for?" If you have a more proper name for it which could describe the purpose even better, please go ahead.

well as the title says, theres something nice comming for us (the Sci-Fi nerds) in January:

Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem

thanks for the find Gavin

and i just found another quite interesting trailer about an upcoming movie called:

Cloverfield

its still in production and if you know the TV-Series "LOST" then you will get an idea about the movie since J.J. Abrams was and is (executive) producer.

You can find high quality trailers (same as on the website) here. For some reason the largest version was kind of buggy for me at the end (using VLC Media Player) but the second largest version worked just fine.

Cheers

maybe try something, go to your winamp options (general) and see if you can find something called "process priority class" and make sure its set to "normal".
