...there really is no consistency in the rulings in my opinion.

I agree and this (for me) is where the main problems lie.

Without strict rulings on what you can and can not do then it essentially boils down to the stewards opinion on the day, no matter how biased or un-biased that opinion may be. Furthermore, as each race uses a different panel of stewards then those opinions will be different race to race.

It seems that Shuie will keep smiling no matter what and I feel he wrote this year off many races ago.

(Sorry, Anthoop! )

..np...It is all above my station really, just trying to help a fellow Noddy fumble through.

You are running 2 servers from 1 Airio version on 500Servers?
So you have Airio.con.1.txt and Airio.con.2.txt files on the control panel?

Edit..and is the port number of the server 17432 or 17436...match the numbers in con.txt and the number you type in /insim=

Im not techy either so here is my noddy speak.
The server and Airio are on the same pc? If so you do not have to enter the ip address simply use- HostAddr=127.0.0.1
You need to open the insim port on the server by typing /insim=17436 into chat when connected to the server as admin.

!car.
The help menu shows available commands.

Quote from VoiD :

EDIT:
For some reason airio won´t display the podiums in the last line (!ptt).

It is the same in the last line of !prs.

Quote from z-ro 8 :

no,

Oh yes you are correct..I was lazy and remebered the textrules section at the end of the cfg file.

Quote from SF-Turdtron :

How do i setup the !rules command?

where do i place the text for it? and how do i enable it? Thank you.

The !rules command is always available, if you would like to add text...then the section is at the end of the cfg file.

Quote from pik_d :

Feature request:
In the !top [car] display, on the title line (Server best recorded laps - BL1/FO8 (6) for example) also include the current WR along with sectors.

Quote from EQ Worry :

Well, as you mention, there are certain problems with this. One is space - where to show the info. The other one is when multiple car types are used in !top... Well, let me think about it.

Could you not just include the WR holders name and time in the !top list with a different colour, displayed in the same way as the other times/sectors? Maybe by adding the WR data into the server sta files, this would overcome troubles when (for example) !top tbo is called?

Also would it be possible that when !bls is called, your own best lap time (LFSW) would be shown at the end of each line....no room to include sector times but just an overall comparison would be great.

works ok for me.

Quote from franky500 :

As far as i am aware right now a big part in the LFSEI is where you finish in races.

The LFSEI is compiled from 5 separate values, theses are- tracks driven, cars driven, distance travelled, races completed and a hotlap index (this is a combination of your online pb times and any hotlaps you may have uploaded).

Quote from AndRand :

As far as I know LFSEI safety system doesnt like qualifications or time attempts during races... why - a spin or a slide or any other situation frequent on time attemps is regarded as safety issue.

LFSEI is not linked to the safety rating system, it is simply an indication of your LFS experience. Your LFSEI will increase everytime you drive or make a pb, or try new track/car etc. It is simply reading your LFSW stats.

Quote from boothy :

As for LFSEI, it should be used to combat the fact that established players have to achieve a certain amount of points on some servers to gain more cars, which is pretty crap when these points statistics aren't shared over servers. For example, if you have an LFSEI of 500+, that should bypass the points ranks. Of course, the safety rating can also be used ahead of points.

I agree.
LFSEI and the safety rating system can be set to work in this way but obviously that is up to the server operators.

Quote from menantoll :

For those that don't know how it works, look here http://stats.airio.eu/EXP.aspx or http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1366734#post1366734

Select the car you want the AI to use and put him on track, then return to pit and select the car you want and join the race.

Quote from [d9] :

i am not fan of automatic kicking for swearwords, and i preffer rather kicking for acts. often i can see opposite, on aa servers also, unfortunetly...
there are too much of similar word/parts with different meaning in different languages, too much exceptions.

and btw. - people always can find way to swear if they want - you beach!

In Airio.srv.txt you will find the following setting..

# Warn for bad words in messages kick for bad words in names - boolean
# Curses and char replacements are defined in Airio.cfg.txt file.
CheckCursing=false

Should you wish to change your server settings to check for swearing then simply change the setting to true.

You can add or change curses and exceptions in the cfg file....

Quote from pik_d :

What was the whole sentence?

Airio picked up the word "pica" from typical...I presume.
I believe it is a Polish swear word.

Have you locked your wheel settings in Lfs options?

Ah, I was not suggesting to remove SO6 from your list, merely to change the amount of laps on the longer track or the shorter track to even up the overall race time.
For example 5 laps at SO6 and 7/8 at AS1 and FE1.....for me 5 laps is never long enough at the shorter tracks even in UF1.

I agree UF1 racing can be great fun and also great training for both, beginners and more experienced people.

One thing I noticed with your track/lap combination is the differences you will find in race time. SO6 is a much longer track than both FE1 and AS1, so I think you need to adjust the amount of laps.

Just a suggestion and good luck with your new server.

Open Airio.cfg.txt...find section "Prohibited Nicknames", then enter your tag under PName=

Manual clutch is faster than auto clutch.
Some mouse users use pedals..but not many.

Yes, 16 slots and on LFSW it shows it as a demo server but demo users are not allowed to join. Even if I put /carsmax to 12, still no demo users can join.
Interestingly, Lfs Remote is "seeing" the server as a S2 host with the current settings.

Quote from Luko :

**** that rules. sorry but i did nothing bad.

I know you are a fair driver Luko but you must understand the LR server is set up for racing. Airio can only see you causing yellow flags (even if you get out of the way) and so the flag ratio is accumulated and you are banned.

Quote from Luko :

only sign ive red maybe 50x was: you caused yellow flag, your rating is very low, you will be banned soon. good server but that stupid rules drives me mad all the time.

I can only repeat what Void has said...each time Airio will tell you what you are doing wrong and how many chances you have left....

I found that a few squirts with some WD40 (through the small gap at the front of the pots) whilst operating the pedals cleaned the circuit board and wiper in the pot without having to take it apart.

I was not that clear...with those settings demo users can join, it is by changing between /mode=S2 and /mode=Demo that seems to make the difference.
Even if I set carsmax to 10 still no demo users can join if /mode=S2 even though lfs desktop will display server as demo.
