Download the PDF attachment in one of my previous posts. It shows how to set it up.

Activate passive mode in the ftp program, if it's not already. Could be it.

Nice! If just everyone could be that honest.

Quote from diablo21 :

You realize the script doesn't give you a 1 second advantage right? If someone beats you by 1 second it's cause you're doing something wrong, or not good enough.. Now probably if the guy that beats you by one second didn't use the script the times would be.. what 8 tenths maximum? Still alot..

You say this a lot, but it doesn't really mean much without proof. Wouldn't it be better to let them do a combo, with and without the use of button clutch, and then see how much the difference is?

Ok, here's the laps I promised. I recently set the wr at SO2r/UFR with a time of 51.26 (replay attached). Then when this thread got started, Zanini amongst others, obviously didn't like what I said. So to mock me, or whatever he had in mind, he decides to upload a faster lap there. He did the same on SO1/UFR, where I also did hold the wr. His time on SO2r, using button clutch is 51.02 (replay is on lfsworld).
I've now done 51.00 using button clutch, and with some more tries and a bit luck in the last corner, a 50.7x-8x is quite possible. And believe me, I did work a whole lot more on the 51.26 lap than on the 51.00.

Replays and set used below.

Here's a PDF describing how to make the script, for those that have trouble understanding how to do it.

Quote from (FIN)Eza :

Hmm it sure does look different clutch acting than auto-clutch..

Yep, that's button clutch script. You can clearly see it in the analyzer.

Quote from diablo21 :

When Arrechee is on it 3 or 4 tenths will go down even if he uses normal clutch. He is just too good. lol

Then he is defying the laws of physics.

In patch Y I held the wr on AS2R/RB4, with 1:13.08. Then the spanish community had a league race there and was hotlapping the combo like crazy. Only 3 persons beat my time, and of those 3, 2 were using button clutch. The one that didn't did a 1:13.02 I think. The other 2, I believe arrechee did 1:12.5x something, and Zanini 1:12.77. Needless to say I was quite dissappointed, and decided to try and see how fast I could go using clutch script. Well, I did the excact time as Zanini, 1:12.77, a whole 0.31 sec faster than my normal lap!

Quote from anibarro :

You lose almost all of the time on the chicane of last sector, where there is no gear change.without clutch, just doing it at propper revolutions? are they cheating?

Don't forget that with button clutch script, you're also reaching top speed faster. So if you loose a little in corners, you make up for it on the straights.

As Worm, I will be posting a comparison hotlap later, where I'm going almost at my full speed potential, with and without the script.

Crybaby, lol! Nice!

Don't forget to add Aitorrr to that list too.

Well pecholobo, at least you seem to have the decency to have stopped using it. If so, kudos to you for that.
About the others, the sad thing is that they also use it to gain advantages in your internal Spanish leagues. I'm pretty sure that most of the other contestants have absolutely no clue about it. Sure, they're probably fast without it too, but this way they are pretty much guaranteed to be at the top.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

Arco, you'd be giving them what they want,

Too late, already deleted my hotlaps.
I'm not the fastest, or most natural talented driver, not by a long shot. Hell, I'm just an old guy trying to keep up with alien teenagers. Some of the wr's I've set, I've worked really really hard on. Sometimes hours, sometimes days. I learn combos very slowly, and totally forget how to drive them after a couple of days if driving another one in between. My reaction is very bad, so I'm either too late or too early into corners. So yes, I'm a bit offended when someone do like 3 laps using unfair methods, and beat my wr. And on top of that, they use my setup (which they got from Phlos wr set collection) without permission. If they beat me fair and square, then I have no problem with it.

Quote from Aitorrr :

That is why you have gentlemen ... is pathetic to learn that an unknown person using clutch can download 4 seconds one time ... because they are 4 seconds to win? you what you shall know better if you are so convinced that time is gained.

Besides scientifically proven that you can earn time? I would like to know exactly.

Sorry my English.

Don't really understand what you're trying to say here, but your actions on lfsworld says it all. You don't like my views and think your methods are perfectly ok, so to humiliate me you go ahead and do what you just did? Well, congratulations! You are superior, and others and myself have no chance. I guess it's time to quit the whole hotlap business. There's no point doing it. The system is flawed. If it ever gets fair for everyone I might be back. Until then it seems like anything goes, and I sure as hell won't be part of it.

And btw... why did you choose the UFR to do what you did? Why not the XFR? Could it be because button clutch doesn't work in the XFR? Geez!

Quote from niall09 :

Like Pecholobo?

I can think of a few others as well. Also from Spain go figure...

Well, it's maybe not a cheat in its true sense, but more like using it to gain an unfair advantage. Really makes the whole hotlapping thing pointless when someone comes along using it. If they are fast to begin with, it can make all the difference between 1st and 2nd place. Remember, I'm talking about hotlapping here, where every hundredths of a second counts. In racing I don't think it makes such a big difference, since other factors plays a role too.

That said, as long as someone beats my wrs fair and square, I won't use such a method trying to get it back. However, if they do use such a script, then I might do it too in order to reclaim it.

Anyway, if someone is blatantly using it all the time to gain advantage over others, they really don't deserve to be respected as a driver at all.

Quote from e2mustang :

Yay u were a drifter too? :P or just a racing incident is on the pic?

Nah, I wasn't a drifter. Pic is of the new owner in a failed corner drift. When I had the car it was fairly standard. Now it has upgraded turbo, fmic, bigger exhaust, larger injectors, Z32 afm, stronger clutch etc.

Btw i never knew u could be my father,i thought u are around 20's

My previous car (Nissan 200sx), and my current one (VW Golf). You see were this is going? Yes, I'm getting old. But the gas prices also have some role here, and the current car being diesel, uses a lot less fuel than the old petrol drinker did.

Damn, for a moment there I thought the devs finally had installed the video mod.

Boot your Vista DVD and let it try to repair the startup.

I got this picture from Arrow, showing how Duck really is.

Make sure first that the DVD drive really is busted. If you have a bootable disc lying around (Windows, Linux etc.) and it boots fine, then it's probably not a faulty drive, but more likely a problem in Windows. Anyhow, replacing the drive is a straightforward job and shouldn't require the technicians to boot into the system and go through your stuff. Only to check that it works. If you're afraid of them seeing particular stuff, just do an attrib +h on the folders before delivering the laptop for service, and attrib -h when you get it back.

If you really wanna hide it, use something like TrueCrypt to encrypt the stuff.

I'm letting a computer at work doing the work, so don't have to worry about that.

Hello. I've created a Live for Speed team, so if anyone is folding, please consider joining and help us move into the top 100.

Project homepage: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Main

The team number is: 135959
Team stats page: http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cg ... ampage&teamnum=135959

For those that are new and want to join, I recommend getting one of the high performance clients from here: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther

If you have an ATI 26xx+ or nVidia 8xxx or better, I recommend the GPU client as it is quite a lot faster than the CPU client.

There's no need to register or anything, you just enter your desired username and the team id in the client, and that's it.

What do you mean? Are you talking about hacking LFS?
