Hi guys!

Came here just to say thank you for all the races and good times we had on the UFR ... i tryed iracing some weeks ago and i just cant leave it ... LFS just doesnt feel so fun anymore

iracing is expensive but it worths every euros i spent on it until now ... great physics (probably better then LFS) great graphics and the car sound is just spectacular ...

maybe one day if i can't pay "the rent" in iracing i will come back to LFS but for now there is no chances to restart the server ...

Special thanks to James (ingolf), Nigel (npy), Supermelon, Shook, and all the others who helped me to promote the server

Good races to all of you ... and allways HAVE FUN!

Jorge

Maybe if i tell you how i started ...

Found out LFS when looking for car games to use a 20 Euros wheel
Start playing in demo servers with FBMW ...
After 1 month i was completly addicted and decided to buy a G27 (clutch & h-shifter) and buyed LFS S2

Tryed all the cars for 2-3 laps in single mode
I fall in love imeddiatly for UF GTR (didnt try anyother since there)
I found out that the funny tracks for this car are South City tracks

There were at the time no servers only for UFR cars, South City tracks, and only for clutch & h-shifter wheels ... so i decided to create one. This was like 2-3 months ago.

Today i made many friends in the server, have a lot of fun, very good and close races ... no crashers at all

All this just to say ... if you like the driving in LFS and cant find a proper server for you ... dont just complain about it ... and do something to change it

Quote from [Audi TT] :

It was necessary, but do not want to spend too much time.

Where can i get one like that?

You probably didnt found the right server(s) to play

Some of us are missing some good races so ... today (Sunday) at 20h UTC there will be a non-oficial event in SO5 Reverse, 40 laps + 1 pitstop
No password .... just for fun! Warming up for next weekend event ...

Show up for 1h of good driving!

Jorge

Quote from Mr_Lonely :

eazy for u to say who only been here since feb 2011..

we oldtimers have, as u say, "been there, done that".. hehe..

i guess you are right ... im just starting to explore the game

Be patient guys ... i dont mind to wait 2 or 3 more years if necessary ... S2 is really good already ... just enjoy what you have and when you less expect S3 will be released

Hello

Next event will be on South City Town Reverse (SO5Rev)
20m qualifying + 40 laps race

I will post details soon on website
http://www.ufrchallenge.com/

Have Fun!
Jorge

Helo

I'm back ... after a long hollydays

Has many of you already know today im going away in hollydays

Im not sure when i will be back but probably on the 9th of august

The server will be on but if some power blackout or internet connection fails there will be nobody here to start the PC so you will have to wait for my coming back

See you soon ... and have fun ... i know i will!

Jorge

There is now a ranking system for drivers who participate in events

Quote from Bandit77 :

hey, what about increasing the time between being warned of speeding in the pits and getting kicked a bit?
I was in the middle of a 30 laps race (well, it wasn't a race anymore... but I wanted to finish anyway) and then entered the pits with maybe 100 instead of 80 kph and didn't even have the time to hit the brakes; by the time I realized I was too fast and the message appeared on my screen, I got kicked.

why is it necessary to kick pit-speeders anyway?? there already IS a penalty-system. I understand that people who enter the pits with 150 probably do it intentionally to spoil the race... but 100 for a couple of meters??

Sorry about that
That kicking is the lfslapper default ... i was also kicked because of that sometimes and thought i should change it

I just changed so from now on is Drive Through Penalty if more then 80 and Stop & Go if more then 100.

Im kind of new on this so probably there are more improvements i should make and i will appreciate a lot if people complain like you did so i can improve the server

I just setup a channel on a teamspeak server so we can talk in races ... 1st time i try this ... its really fun ... download the freeware software on the link below and setup your mic ... i will tell you in the server how to connect to channel in teamspeak server

Quote from Ingolf :

Thanks all for a good event! The SO3 and special 1vs1 was a lot of fun. My focus was not the best since I spent it on IRL racing this weekend (similar to this event here and here) but always good to come back to LFS and having quality gaming. Keep it up Jorge and we'll soon be filling up the grid with full manual fellas!

Congrats to the podium guys, very well done!

Nice weekend race mate!

Yes!
Race 1v1 was really fun!

This Sunday event have a new format:
(Qualifying + 10 laps + 15 laps + 1 v 1 K.O.)

The 1 v 1 race will be on KO rounds (2 laps).
The grid will depend on how many drivers join the event but you can see an example here: http://www.ufrchallenge.com/so3-01.html

You can practice 1 v 1 race on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday between 17-18h UTC and 21-22h UTC

Tonight we will try a funny 1v1 in a layout designed by U4IK ST8 in SO3... it's really cool ... 2 lanes in all track with a jump to change lane

Thanks U4IK ST8!

Next sunday event will be at 20.00 UTC

Sprint2 (SO3) track is very hard (for drivers and tyres)
Because no pit stops can be done on this track the event will have 3 short races
(5 laps + 10 laps + 15 laps)

Quote from U4IK ST8 :

Hmm, I must take a look so... Off to download...

EDIT: Seems to work ok, haven't gone into LFS yet though. But when I try to save a tweak it crashes and windows wants to close it.

I didnt try to save it ... but i dont need to do it ... it keeps the changes when apply and close ... i have windows 7 64bits

Quote from NigelY :

@NigelY - Here's that tweak for the clutch - DXTweak 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sussed it out. I've got a nice (1") deadzone at the start of the pedal travel now.Tried it out and can now keep the clutch out of the red. Hopefully I can now concentrate on my (lack of) speed and getting the corners right
30 laps should be a good test tonight.

Nigel.

Im also using DXTweak2. Works really good! Not only to have a deadzone in clutch but also to calibrate the accelerator/brake pedals ...
In my opinion is a must to everyone who drives in full manual setup
