People always use it as an argument to say that iRacing is just NK2003 with mods, which isn't true (you can say it jokingly but not matter-of-factly). It's just one of these rumours or half-truths that doesn't want to die, and I don't like those, no matter which sim they're about.
Please, stop spreading this BS rumour (not that I say you do intentionally). Yes it is "based" on the NK2003 engine, but it was only used as a starting platform so they don't have to begin from 0 completely. Virtually every part of the engine was rewritten at some point - saying that it is based on NK2003 is a pretty severe stretch.
There's a pirated version floating around the net
(I think Shadowww is actually the one who uploaded it).
1) I'm pretty sure this was a condition set by the Formula BMW team. Without the FBM being available in the demo they wouldn't have been able to use it for the V1 championship effectively.
2) It was good choice in regards to content representation. That way someone who tries* the demo can evaluate the quality of both the road and race car simulation. The XRT which was basically just used as a drift car didn't have much representational value on its own at all.
In retrospect it was a perfect move to kill two birds with one stone. New car, car sponsor's conditions met, demo now better representation of the full product. Making drifters and demo racers who were genuinely interested in the XRT buy the product was a nice side effect, those who ran away screaming wouldn't have bought the game anyway, so nobody cares about them. Or they moved to older patches which is perfectly fine by me (no updates when LFS finally fixes the bogus tyre physics and grows to become a racing simulation instead of a good vehicle dynamics simulator with minor to medium flaws almost everywhere if you look closely).
* You know, some people actually try the demo to figure out whether to buy or not, instead of being cheapskates and using it for years, constantly finding new excuses why spending the 24£ would completely ruin their lives.

Sorry but demo players had too much content available for a far too long time. BL1R is better than BL1? Great, another incentive to actually buy S2. If you now don't want to race with your buddies anymore because you can't stand BL1 but that's all they have available then that's tough luck, but not a reason to give back demo content.

Yep, just set the amount of cogs for each gear pair and be done with it.
Actually... you kinda have a point. Normally I'm strictly against piracy regarding small/indie/niche software, but forcing you to spend 20$ just to be able to try if the game even works is making it hard for me to sympathise.
Guess you just won a free stereo > mono converter.
Nevertheless, I wish you the best. Maybe they can get you some kind of hearing aid to at least partially restore your right ear's hearing capability? I just remember when my left ear was clogged up for three days reducing that side to maybe 20% hearing and it drove me nuts. The only relief during that time was playing games or listening to music with the headphone speaker balance far to the left. You only really notice how important these things you usually take for granted are when you suddenly don't have them anymore...

Oh, I didn't know lines were actual objects that you can move. Thought it was directly drawing on the control 
Options > Controls
> Axes / FF
> unlock
> recalibrate axes
Steer from full left to full right
Fully depress and release all pedals after each other
> lock
> Axes / FF
> unlock
> recalibrate axes
Steer from full left to full right

And you're sure you're calling Me.Cls (= clearscreen) before drawing the line?
So every time you receive an OutSim packet you're calculating point2 again and call Me.Line with the new coordinates? Maybe you have to do an Me.Cls beforehand? I really don't know, sorry.
Of course blatant wreckers and cheaters should be reported here, as it is the only way to effectively spread the information of what that guy was doing. The key point however is that a replay is provided but his license name not mentioned, forcing the server admins who see this thread to watch it and make up their own minds about the situation.
The "I got banned" thread is for the exact opposite situation - there it makes sense to concentrate all these issues into one thread, because 1) they really should be contacting the server admin and 2) if they didn't know this or there is no info on where to contact the server admin they at least don't fill up the forum with crap nobody cares about. People getting banned for whatever reason is a much more often occurring situation than cheaters or dedicated wreckers - reporting the latter here is hardly going to cause many topics.
If you really think wreckers should be reported to each server individually then you're incredibly naive. Wreckers don't care about getting banned from one server, they just go to the next one after that happens. Only "global" bans will stop them in their tracks, greatly limiting the damage inflicted. With your method they'd be able to ruin hundreds of races, but by posting here at least the bigger/popular servers are already protected without him ever being able to ruin a race there.

Heh, that reminds me of our C++ teacher. "Here are your assignments. If you need me, I'm in my room."
Indeed he was; loudly snoring, with his only company being an empty bottle of alcohol. Good times

How about you start paying attention in class instead? You know, then your education might not be a complete waste of time.
No, the guy was simply careless/clueless. It's one thing to be stupid and try to re-enter the track that way, but it's a whole different level of idiocy to not immediately lock the brakes in a spin to prevent the car from taking an unpredictable route. Had he done that he'd just have made a pirouette on the outside of the track and would've probably been able to continue the race.
Now I don't think there should be punishment because it was clearly a newbie mistake, but some message to educate him on what he should do in such a situation would've been mandatory, IMO.

I don't really have a problem with you per se (otherwise you'd already have joined the others on my ignore list ) - I would've had the same reaction if your words came from anyone else - it just kinda seems like you're going through a pretty bad phase lately, at least I never noticed your posts in a particularly bad way before, other than being a little direct in stating your opinion. Not that my assessment matters in any way, though, so I'll shut up now.

. It is guaranteed to be the most up-to-date one and translating the whole (with each patch changing) manual into all these languages seems like a mammoth task. Actually I'm kind of annoyed lately that the LFSW link at the top of the forum automatically redirects me to the German one, but I guess that function is useful for new members. Thankfully you can turn that off by setting the browser language/locale to English, as I just found out No idea who wrote the original rules, but this all emerged from a long time ago where there were no licensed servers (because there was no version besides the demo available) and this was the only way to bring some order to the rowdy demo crowd. Once the licensed servers emerged CRC kind of died because at that point it was assumed (and quite realistic) that the CRC rules are the common rules for all licensed drivers. However as LFS grew more and more people became unaware of these common sense rules which leads us to the current day where licensed servers still are on average better than demo ones, but even here you have to cherry pick the good ones from the pile of crap that is the rest.

Guess a missing registry entry is a pretty clear indication of using a cracked version 
:rolleyes:
:rolleyes:No, no. The fact that more than one ban was required is bad enough.
As far as I'm aware not only are jagged arrays and multidimensional arrays something quite different (jagged array = array of arrays, each sub-array can have a different length, whereas multidimensional arrays have a fixed size for each dimension you specify), but the former are also slightly faster. IIRC one-dimensional array access has a few speed optimizations and with jagged arrays it can use these optimizations multiple times (since you're always just accessing one-dimensional arrays). A multidimensional array does not have these optimizations and needs to do a full lookup.
However I'm not sure if that's true for PHP or modern languages in general. It's quite a while since I read that.

Avast is completely free. If it requires a key, you either downloaded the wrong version or the key is given to you automatically when you register on their page or something.

Wow, it is kind of sad that you seem to take a ban as nothing quite out of order. It kinda got the vibe of "well my last ban didn't cause this problem, please try to fix this issue so I keep my subscription list the next time I'm banned, kthx!".
There's something fundamentally wrong with that kind of attitude.
