Presumably, you'll have the same physics engine and multiplayer code to play on, but none of the content from S3 would likely be available.

OK...I deleted the install and started over. Things seem to be working OK now. Not sure what happened.

Now I am getting some odd errors with capitalization issues when uploading a setup. For example, the correct setup name for a FXO is "FXO Turbo_setupname.set". This is also how it is shown in the car tables. When I try to upload a setup with a name like that, I get "Car name does not match car in form" message. When I renamed it to "FXO TURBO_setupname.set", it uploaded fine. The same happens with the FO8 & FOX.

Edit: Nevermind, I checked the setups at Inferno, and the FXO setup name format is "FXO TURBO_setupname.set" Is it possible that the Setup Station isn't reading from the car table to get the "name in setup", since mine was set to "FXO Turbo" ?

D34NO,

I am still getting the non-redirection issue, using FireFox 2.0.0.9 and IE7. It does reload the page after logging in, so it appears to be connecting to the database.

MySQL Version: 5.0.27-standard
PHP Version: 5.2.3

I've checked the settings for database connection, and everything is correct.

I've changed the passwords a couple times while logged in. Each time, when I go to do it again, the password is encrypted again, so I assume that is working correctly. This issue happened after I had logged out after changing my password.

I've uploaded the file you mentioned in the previous post and it has not helped. I also tried manually adding a user in the database, which also did not help. I've tried clearing my cache and cookies, no joy.

Any ideas?

Just a quick note...we've had a new driver apply for the CDDT. We are taking this opportunity to have the guys get back together after a brief period of inactivity.

December 4th, we'll resume our Tuesday evening meetings at 9:30 PM EST.

I used to go on the City Driving servers that were on the Blackwood Car Park, just so I could chase, and get chased, by my buddies. Didn't really care about the whole cops thing, nor did I respect it. I didn't go out of my way to wreck people, but I didn't just stop when the cops told me to. It was more fun running from the cops. Got banned a couple of times, and never went back, mainly because I really didn't give a shit about it. Cruise servers are pointless to me and it's rare that I ever go in one...maybe only because I see a friend or teammate there. But again, my whole point is to go as fast as I can with disregard to the whole "cruising around for relaxation" thing. Kind of stupid in a racing sim if you ask me.

All that said, I do have to give props to the guys that created the whole money and lottery tickets thing. Some nice programming work.

The biggest obstacle is driver participation (the new guys), and keeping to a structured schedule (i.e. lessons on race craft vs. just racing around). We've had a few meetings, but so far the participation of the CDT drivers outside our Tuesday meetings has been very low. We are still learning with this idea as well, so as we go, we'll report back more.

The StreetStock Cup race was a ton of fun with all twenty-eight drivers scheduled to run on grid for the green lights. Twenty-six finished, with the two dropping out due to being stranded in the sand and running out of fuel. This looks like this could be a fight to the finish for the championship podium spots. Good to see some new faces, including Smack from Dark Side Racing, and Ihab Abbas from Egypt racing with us.

The BF1 Sprint Series race was a little more hectic, I think, with many of the drivers still a bit inexperienced with driving the BF1 car for that long at one sitting. Still, there were only 4 DNF's, so not too bad.

Just a few hours left to get registered for Race 1. There are only a few spots left in the StreetStock Cup, and plenty of spots left in the BF1 Sprint Series.

To Register for the StreetStock Cup, go here: http://www.lfs-lota.net/index. ... =series;sr=register;id=25

To Register for the BF1 Sprint Series, go here: http://www.lfs-lota.net/index. ... =series;sr=register;id=26

You are certainly welcome to sign up. You must be able to make the 9:30 PM EST (GMT-5) start time though. Please take some time to read through the series rules and procedures. Hope to see you this coming Thursday!

One week remaining until Race 1 for each series. There are 10 slots open in the StreetStock Cup and 13 slots open in the BF1 Sprint Series.

As I mentioned in the General Discussion thread, we are accepting international entries for these series.

We have considered in the past putting on a few weekend races that would be compatible with EU time zones. If we get some international competitors for the StreetStock Cup and the BF1 Sprint Series, we can better judge how the international connections to our servers (Thanks 500!) will play out. Once that is done, I'm sure you'll see some special events, and maybe a weekend series coming.

The League Of The Americas (LOTA), which started a little over a year ago, provides quality LFS racing to drivers in the Western Hemisphere. Upon preliminary discussions with our loyal user base, we've decided to open up registration to the international LFS community for our two new mini-series (the StreetStock Cup and the BF1 Sprint Series), scheduled to start next week. LOTA generally stages race events on Thursday evenings at 9:30PM EST (GMT-5), and all competitors will need to be able to make that start time. We've chosen to stick with this time as it still serves our core user's best interests. These two new mini-series will serve as a test-bed to determine if this is to become a permanent policy.

LOTA is a very well organized league with comprehensive policies, support, and resources, and the racing that is found on LOTA servers is very high quality. We look forward to the increased competition that the international LFS community can offer as we continue to search for ways to make LOTA the best league it can be.

For more information on LOTA and it's racing series, please visit the LOTA Website.

BOTT anyone? Teams of two drivers, but no switching going on. 50 laps most races, so they go well beyond 1 hour. Different tracks and cars each race.

In other words, been done before.

With 15 days until the start of both seasons, the driver rosters are shaping up nicely already. The BF1 Sprint Series is about 1/3rd full, and the StreetStock Cup is almost half full.

Matt, now that I see you are S2 licenses, you should bring your new BF1 team to race in the upcoming BF1 Sprint Series in the League Of The Americas.

race length: 3+ hours
car classes: single class
start procedure: rolling
full course yellows w/safety car: yes
car types: race
qualifying: timed session
car skins: required elements (standard number tags/visor)
points system: every position gets some points (imagine running 75% of the race, timing out, coming back in with a lap penalty, only to not get points because there is no way you can make up enough positions to get into the points - wouldn't make me want to race much more after that)

Why are you climbing all over me? I did read what Aquilifer said, which is fine because it's his opinion. I just don't think a radio has a place in this sim. I would prefer to see the racing aspects of this sim finished for S3, not a radio.

Yes, radios are used in racing, but not for any of the reasons Travis stated. And if we had a radio to do the things that radios are used for in racing, like communicate with a crew about car performance and strategy, then that would be cool. Otherwise, no thanks.

Quote from The Very End :

Oh yea, now we start bitching about hardcore simulator
Why does people like you allways have to come and scream out "it`s a damn RACING SIMULATOR" to every suggestion there is. LFS has a lot of things that doesn`t is hardcore racing sim stuff. Now please, I`ll go mental if I need to read one more reply about damn hardcore sim.
It`s only a suggestion, you don`t need to kill it, you dislike it - well thats ok, but please start using a more valid reason than screaming out about that damned hardcore stuff.

Yup. Racing Simulator. I'll say it again: racing simulator. Oh, by the way.....racing simulator.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I also forgot to say: Please stop leaching off the devs and buy a license. kthxbye

Maybe not "print", but certainly an "export" button that sends all setup data to a text file. While there at it, an "import" button as well would be good. You could work on setups outside the sim (perhaps with some outside setup application" and then import into the sim.

EDIT: Yes, I know there is the "Bob Smith Setup Wizard" thingy, but everytime I use that, the cars feel all wrong.
