Quote from Tweaker :

So this is all about stats? Geez... if you played Counter-Strike in the old days, you would know that stats are so valuable to some people when they actually mean nothing other than the fact that you try and over achieve some dumb results, equaling... yourself becoming a representation of no life or possibly a very bad addiction to the game. If someone were to mess with your stats, you get whining, crying, anger, flaming, all of that sort... and it is so absolutely childish to fight over numbers on the internet :zombie:

What matters most is having fun with this game... but if leading the statistics charts really floats your boat, go ahead.... your decisions are your own.

Well said, though at first I saw it as some extra competition. Now I know it's not. Let's hope the whining will stop at some time and we can continue with the friendly ones I've got great fun for years now. Tnx for the view, it's really not important

Andre: Hide your stats using the privacy options in LFSW. Problem solved

I did and get nasty pm's

Ever tried to drive it the other way ?

To be serious - again - because some doens't get the point: The Charts doesn't make any sense as long as some are cheating. With some jokers the intention of the charts are destroyed and became useless. Pity but true.

Explanation: (again)

There are some brainless without some kind of social life that can drive 24 hrs a day.
There are also some babes living in 1 house with 1 account, when the 1th 1 is tyred the other takes over and get easily, every month again, the most laps, distance, and finished races.

Unfortunately, I win easily most races, sick also, but only to proove that the sick ones are a victime of the common charts intention.

So, therefore the charts are sick and need to be re-arranged or removed !

In that way nobody can accuse me to do some 1 lap races. Yes, it's very silly that some send me very unpleasent mails so I've closed the LFS forum mail option.

When some don't like me doing start sessions, complain not to me, without those silly charts you won't even know about our fun.

Yep, let's not forget we're talking about a game here. Real life, not for all, can be sometimes not pleasant. The LFS game gives sometimes some escape and lead to real FUN with a lot of people around the globe. When you don't like the fun aspect, xxxx off plz.

Really strange this one. Drove for last months only Kyoto Oval, at some point I became only slower, best I could do was some silly 36:6X .

Started for fun with another track: BW rally with rb4, great fun btw

At some point back to the Oval and with the V8 I sudenly did again as before easily 36.4x .....


Mentioned before ?

Quote from tinyk :

my guess is they're very busy... relax and smile. Give 'em time.

~*~*~*~tinyk~*~*~*~

Yep, I assume he must be very buzy, np, In the mean time we've got some fun at the Oval. Almost forgot the FOX, wow, great car )))

I wrote you, Scawen and Victor about the way the charts are misused, still no answer.

Still, again on holiday ? Hope you're both soon back.

It depends Do you have fun with some friends ? Block them as much as you can and then let them win, that's only when they are faster

Driving with guys who want to win ? Block them a little, let them hit the wall and win

Little (unfair ) shits who are slow ? Let them pass you, give them for a brief moment the idea that they won and then pass them

There is NO 1 blocking rule ! It's about FUN, and imo it doesn't matter who win.
Did you have a nice race, was it fun ?

Quote from JTbo :

I can't comment to many things said in this thread, because I have not seen anything that is described, but André did found The Original LFS League back in old demo days and he has very hot temperament sometimes, but he is very nice gu.. eh... ape and I don't really understand what is with this at all.

That's the problem these days The FUN is gone quite often. You're right I'm a silly ape and have a temper but only when I'm confrontated with people that doesn't understand the concept of fun. Proberly it started somewhere after S2, not sure, and basicly it doesn't interest me at all.

I've said it a long time ago: fast drivers don't seem to have a perception of fun, proberly there's something wrong with them. Could be in the mind ...
Lucky me, I'm not a fast driver I'm a solid driver and that's why I win most races

About stats: people that are complaning about stats are really sick. Having fun with some friends isn't allowed these days , it's all counted in stats, pity.

I really hope the stats, as mentioned by some, are removed as asap. It doesn't make any sense, not needed also, it's only confusing.

In the mean time, I had real fun with LFS for a very long time, let's hope the fun ! will be recovered and don't miss me when I'm gone.

FM - failure and others fm members are missing some fun. Keep on driving m8, it doesnt say anything, you only proove that you're sick Anyone who doesn't have a social life can be the Real Champ of The Charts, when it's about most laps and most distance

Beat me for most Race Wins, Mostly I did with 8 laps and 1 pitstop

Yep, I'm here for a long time and still a noob, but this noob is known as a silly friendly ape.

Sry Jani not all for you, but Im a little irritating about the brainless.



Friendly regards,

André

Dont know whats this discussion is about and if I remember well its not allowed to use names inherent to the rules.

Never mind however.

Nobody tells me how I run my Host !

My Server is for fun and for fair driving. Unfortunaletly there are a lot of guys who doesnt understand my concept. Do a search in this and the previous forum and find where I stand for.
It basicly doesn't interest me at all to win a race. I wanna have fun and when possible I help noobs to get a little faster. There are however some guys that shows the wrong attitude and those are banned afap, just like the FM members: They dont have any perception of fun

Join my Host when you like fair and fast races.

However do not join when you think you can mess up with me:

I don't accept bad language, unsportsman like behaviour, not saying hello (I always say 3 times "welcome") and other shitty behaviour ....

Search the threads for more info. All have to say atm.

FIX : Fuel amount when taking over car Great 1 !

I dont think that running other apllications will normnally infect your frames per seconds in the game, other applications can however decrease your system performance wich will cause severe lag issues.

It seems you ve got some prgs running (at start up ?) like ms paint that s using your graf card also. Windows XP ? See mail.

Quote from Scawen :

Just to let you know - i've made a note of this to consider it for the next patch. I haven't looked in the code yet but my first guess is it may be that the fuel load value (that was increasing rapidly during the pit stop) from the original driver, may not have reached the new driver by the time of the changeover. The fuel load gets sent over approximately every 2 seconds during a pit stop, so it's possible that a maximum of 2 seconds worth of fuel isn't sent over. The fuel load is sent over less often during normal driving.

So if that diagnosis is true, then the situation would be worst with the cars that fill up more quickly (like formula cars) and more likely to happen if the changeover is very quick after the end of the pit stop.

As i said, i haven't studied the code yet but this would explain the random nature of the bug and also that most of the fill-up does make it to the new driver (just not quite all of it). The most obvious solution would be to quickly send a fuel update immediately before the "accept changeover" packet.

Very good indeed and tnx !

I did some testing again, 20 laps 1 stop, changing seats at 10 th lap.
Started with too less fuel, just to reproduce, yes this part I can reproduce at any time

Then we tried again the overkil with 19/21, works fine, I mean enough fuel to finishe the race.

Then we followed your suggestion as mentioned as above.

As it should be for 20 laps race, lap * 1.5 + 1 extra, (without counting draft issues...) we started with 16 % / 16 % .
When my m8 (he started) get into pit (after 10 laps) we agree that when he was ready with his pitstop he hitted the horn to inform me that he was ready.
After that sound signal I counted 3 seconds (24, 24, 24) and clicked the T.

1th attempt: I didn't hear his horn signal and as overtaker you can't see when your partner is ready...

2th attempt: He was the overtaker (2nd driver) , when I was ready with my pitstop (fuel only at 1.5 sec) I hit the horn to inform him to take over after 3 seconds. Funny result (new bug found) he could only change gears and turn his steer but no throttle and all the time I heard his (mine?) horn going on and on.

3rd attempt: We agreed to type just the lettre X instead of using the horn, after typed message I waited 3 seconds and then I go with 16% fuel for the rest of the rest (10 laps), he ! we won

It seems indeed that the packets dont arrive in time, tried 4,5 and 6 packets a sec, doesn't make a differents here.

When the 2nd driver (or 1th driver) click the green SS, the info (data) must be send faster ?

Yep, a TE would be very nice indeed

Quote from Scawen :

How exciting - I'm not sure you really wanted to know that!

Yes we do In fact I just started a new monthly magazine called "The private life of Scawen" My paparazzi informed me about your bike washing be4 you even started with it...
Some send us pictures from your kitchen also

Really sorry I've forced you into this mess, nothing new for me, but it must be frustrating, I know. Carefull with all the "good" intentions ....

Quote from Mbrio :

Hehe, in the rFactor forum on RSC people are confusing rFactor with LFS and now they start doing it the other way round aswell :twirl:

GTR looks very similair to 'some' F1CH mods, a refund would be nice also, unless an ISO doesn't count ? Doesn't matter it's all based on LFS (...)

Quote from Victor :

i don't think there's a post time-limit.
But read above, kid gave the key with which i could fix the hang-bug here, so you shouldn't have that problem anymore (at least on this forum). And why it happened - it was a javascript function that got stuck in an endless loop, hence your cpu raised to 100%

Well done, interesting script ....

Quote from Victor :

and check if you're using the WYSIWYG editor - that doesn't work properly for everyone, so if you use that, turn it off (or check if it's turned on in your cp-options, if so turn it off)

Sry I dont know what the WYSIWYG editor is, and it wasnt my intention to screw up here, I just dont understand why my cpu goes up to 100%, basicly thats all.
Xp pro, IE 6 .

edit: can it be that Im typing too long so some time limit is expanded ? seen it at lfs nl also, then my post is posting 2x ...

Every time again when I try to post a message here or a PM my system freezes, cpu 100% !

So Ive learned, before pressing the submit button to save the whole message before instead of typing again and again the same message.

Are there similair experiences ?

Plz don't ask me about my high end gaming specs, thats not the issue here.

Quote from Fiction :

Race 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 laps, at Oval with fo8, pitstop required.

My friend takes over half way. I'm very very sure Ive set enough fuel: it's always: amount of laps x 1.5 + 1 extra. (Unless you have a good drafter but thats another story)

Friend takes over and have to pit at aprox 80% of his part because fuel is gone


Funny is: sometimes I can reproduce and sometimes I can't.

What's going here ?

I'm testing this very silly bug for some months now, believe me there is no way to reproduce, there is some very annoying random bug in it.
Whatever we try, 2nd driver will be out of fuel unless ....

You set for a simple 14 laps race 20/20 fuel then you can finish while 11/11 must be enough. 15/15 or 11/15 or 15/11 or whatever wont work. I think it's time to solve this bug asap otherwise remove the seat change option because it doesnt make any sense at this way.

Quote from Klichka :

This thread is for failed LFS ideas

Same thread in 2 fora ?

Very interesting concept !

In the 70's (grrr previous century already) I worked in the the theater, we just started then with a system called Cinerama, wich needed 3 projectors, with 2 vertical lines also ...
Funny to see how slow the digital improvements basicly are

Nevertheless very interesting !

Quote from HeerBommel :

To be honest I dont need those old archives. We have a new game now. LFS S2 is totally different from the old S1 school. You also noticed the gap I suppose? Now we have a new game, a new community and new people. Just let us have a refreshed forum. Looks a good choice.

I think a lot of the 'old' info can be very usefull for new members.

It's fast too

Quote from dUmAsS :

i dont see why we must have all the old rsc stuff anyway :s whats wrong with starting fresh?

I think it's a pity to throw away 3 years of archive. Not all was very interesting but a lot still is / can be.
