Westhill; Kyoto; Aston: 32 (90% sure)

Hmm...got 17 on the AutoCross: http://www.quebecracing-ligues ... bec/Resultats/MRT2_1.html

I did find the results of a test race we did, and we had 17.

http://www.quebecracing-ligues ... bec/Resultats/MRT2_1.html

Still need to verify the exact number.

Anyone? I'm asking because of a league that is preparing to begin, and we need to know how many can be active registrants.

I've searched, and the only reference is to some of the other tracks, like Fern Bay RallyCross Green, and the two South City Sprint tracks.

Is there a limit to the number of cars on an autocross layout at any given time?

Thanks!

Good to see you guys are (finally?) stepping over the border and expend your activities!

RMachucaA, PeterLaan, Borbor, and Carl078 are all from Canada.

Brian is from the US.

Welcome to the team, Brian!

Yay! Another spot down in the finishing order for Banshee.

Yes, we would love to see more South American drivers in LOTA. BAR is a very good team with some really quick drivers. Always enjoy racing with them.

You know when you've played too much LFS when you....


...injure yourself like I did 1 year ago and one of the first thoughts is..."Oh man, I won't be able to drive in this week's league race!"


WARNING for injury pics:

Banshee's hand injury

+1

Some additions:

• Server side ability to set the number of pitstops required (more than one)
  
• the ability to set whether to always change tires and/or fill the tank
  
• the ability to set the penalty level for not pitting (or not completing the number of required stops).
  

Man, what a FANTASTIC race!

umm....engine, tire noise, other cars, teammates on Vent?

And yes, it's ALL music me ears!

Congrats Chris!

I don't see you much online anymore since you moved back accross the little pond, but I sure enjoyed racing with you in the DTM series a few seasons ago! UKCT sure got a good driver!

Good luck with your new team!

I love my username, because it reflects the kart name I used to race on pavement (Phantom Banshee, even though they aren't made anymore), and my number (was also my father's number when he ran karts in the 60's and stock cars in the 70's).

The only thing I might change is my racername, since I've been in LFS for 3+ years and am almost 35 years old, so I don't really need a nickname.

You paid $250 to drift? illepall

If I recall correctly, Land Of The Free Racing had a summer series in which they had fixed setups in a few of the races, which were very good races.

And yes Bones and CW, those FOX-Oval races using the Race-S setup with no wing were fantastic! Everyone on even keel relative to setup meant it was all about driver skill.

+1 on the server side setup deal. (Yes, I know, it should be in the improvements suggestion section, but +1 from me anyway. )

Combos set for June 14th! (See first post.)

League Of The Americas has an MRT C3 series starting in July on custom designed courses, running on Mondays @ 9:30 PM EST.

Also, we will have:

• 3 semi-endurance races of approximately 2.5 hours each in late June, July, and August, running GT1 (GTR's) and GT2 (restricted GTR's).
  
• the LOTA 150 - a 150 lap GTR race on the oval with caution periods, a pace car, and rolling starts
  
• GT Touring Series (starting late Aug/early Sept) - featuring teams of GT1 (GTR's) and GT3 (UFR/XFR)
  

Also, when our series aren't running, we stage sprint pick-up races on combos ... blic on Thursday evenings. All of our series are geared toward scheduling times that are good for people in the Western Hemisphere. Please feel free to check out our site: www.lfs-lota.net.

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

1) (This is in /no/ way meant as an attack on the devs, they do a damn good job). Whenever a new patch or feature comes out, there is /always/ somebody whining 'but...why didn't they do it this way'. It is insulting to the devs. Put yourself in their position. You have just spent X amount of time developing a labour of love, only to have people who know nothing about game/program/sim/whatever design, to come along and start flaming you.

Think of all those comments this way: If you didn't really give a damn about the quality and continued development of the sim, would you comment? The vast majority of the people that come onto these forums have invested time into being in this community. Think about it, we've taken time from our personal lives to have a second online life, if you will, and we all care about watching it develop into the best that it can be. I've been around for over 3 years, and have personally enjoyed the ride, so I thank the devs for all their hard work. But, when I find something that I don't think works right or needs improved, I will make my opinion known in a respectful manner, hoping that the devs read my comments and take from them constructive information that will only make the sim better.

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

2) The use of the words 'noob', 'n00b', 'newbie' and related words as an insult (No offense to Niko/LFSn00b btw). Why do the people who were here earlier see the need to pick on the members with newer join dates. We all have an equal right to be here and give our opinion. OK, so people may not agree with it, but that is no reason to start flaming. On a related note, what /is/ the point of the flaming bannana (sp?) smiley?.

Agreed.....the use of the "noob" related words are not really beneficial to anyone. I was, as we all were, a n00b at one point, and I am really appreciative to the guys like CWMAX, Operator0, Kirves, CheeseySlug, Forbin, and others that helped me with advice and setups in my quest to get better. Because of that, I've tried (admittedly not always successfully) to be mindful of my comments to inexperienced drivers.

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

4) The constant bashing of demo racers. I just don't get WHY people (S2 licensed) see the need to flame/bash/criticise (sp?) demo racers. LFS is a racing simulator. I am not going to get involved in the quite franky, ugly, drift/grip war, but if people want to drift, they should be able to. It's like buying a box of chocolates and being told you can only open and eat them a certain way

Demo racers are just that, demo racers. I personally don't have a problem with a person that uses the demo portion as a way learn about the game and learn how to drive in the game. I do, however, have a problem with demo racers that like to form teams and leagues. Demo is just that, a demonstration of what the sim can be, not an arena for you to play online for free and never reward the developers that have risked their livelihood's to develop their passion for sim-racing. If you race in demo, and like it, buy a license, and pay your respects to the devs.

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

5) The attitudes of some racers to mouse/keyboard racers. Not everyone is able to buy, or indeed, use a wheel. I know a friend in Ireland who wants to get into S2, but has no movement in his arms at all. At this point he could either:

a) Post here, or have somebody post here and get flamed/ridiculed
b) quietly go and buy S2, and get ridiculed/flamed in-game
c) Not bother and tell everyone how bad S2 is

See my point there?

To be honest with you, I don't really see your point about your friend. I'm sorry he can't be involved in the traditional sense. Regarding the mouse/keyboard racers....yes, I know it's difficult to get a proper controller. But this is a racing simulator and you really should try to get a wheel (any wheel, really) so that you can control the car in a more precise manner. Yeah, yeah, I know...there are many quality kb/mouse drivers out there. More power to you if you can do it well! But, I'm sorry, the vast majority of keyboard and mouse drivers certainly can't control a car as well as someone with more suited controller, and it's frustrating to get wrecked by someone using a keyboard.

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

8) The belief that LFS /must/ be the most realistic simulator ever. Hint here: NKPro, Look how realistic that is, and look how that's turned out. There is a line between realism and fun, and the people who want LFS to be just like real life, let me paint you the following scenario...

Umm...that scenario is really just rediculous. The thought that this needs to be "the most realistic" simulator is in regards to the physics and how races work. I don't really care whether we start qualifying from the garage, or right on the track. Sure, starting from the garage adds to the immersion, but does it really add anything to the racing? No. We want the cars to handle as close to real life as possible so that we can enjoy doing something online that only a few of us have experienced in real life.

What about Patch X?

As of about 25 minutes ago, Scawen said that Patch X is still a few hours away. I assume Franky @ 500Servers will be updating customer's servers before the free ones. If the CoRe server is upgraded by race time, you're welcome to use it.

CoRe has a server you can use on Friday. It's a 500Server in TX.
