Quote from STROBE :

I thought the "p" in the server description indicated that a pit-stop is compulsory.

I believe you're right - you can see whether the host is private or public elsewhere. And even then, "P" wouldn't make much sense, since it could mean either of those

Yay, I'm one of the oldies as well

I probably found out about LFS in December 2002, as I registered at RSC the day before christamas eve

If the day will come when CRC will be useful at all, I think it should be enough to get into CRC once. The basic principle didn't change with the "new" CRC and neither did the persons who were previously accepted.

You can check my profile if you want to know how old I am. I don't really understand the purpose of this thread anyway - a poll might make some sense.

And it still should be in the off topic forum...

Quote from Nick_ll :

I was making reference to the front ride height bug.....

I believe the bug you're talking about has nothing to do with ground effect, which is NOT simulated in LFS.

In LFS, if the car is tilted backwards, downforce pushes the car slightly forwards instead of directly downwads like it should. At least that's the explanation I've heard on the forums.

Number 456 here... surprisingly low.

Added myself as well.. surprisingly there were two others from the same city already

reyco, say hi to 1999 for me

Quote from deggis :

Isn't that just a fan movie which made to look like a sport TV show?

No, it isn't.

Quote from jtr99 :

LFS related?

This is the off topic forum

Dave's idea is the one to go with. You can record the video with 0.25X speed in LFS and use a very low capturing framerate, for example 10 fps. When you play it back in 40fps, you will have a very smooth video.

I would strongly recommend putting [joke] in the title, and perhaps moving the thread to the offtopic forum...

And the video is from the TV cam, which is really quite useless for portraying an autocross layout...

Quote from tristancliffe :

Pass on the left? Eh what?

Some people might have an agreement to let lapping cars pass on the left side, to avoid confusion in blue flag situations.

I have no idea if this is what he meant, though.

The same as always, I think? One blocking move allowed. So you can go right to block the pass if he's not dangerously close yet, but you are not allowed to move back left to block him again.

Pots ??? im lost

Potentiometers. Sort of like a volume knob on your stereo system, but in this case they turn with the steering wheel and tell the position of your wheel to the computer.

Off topic, but you people seem very inconsistent in spelling "consistency"

If you have time to look at the dashboard, you're not driving fast enough

Line: 3
Consistency: 2
Racecraft: 2

Overall 2.33

GPLrank is a way of recording and comparing your Grand Prix Legends times with those of other drivers. It is also a way of organizing the many racing venues now available into orderly collections so that a driver can have a straightforward method to learning the world's racing circuits. The basic principle is a handicap system similar to the one used in golf. This means that there's a certain "benchmark" that your achievements can be compared to. The fundamental benchmark for GPLRank is the combined lap time of the replays that come with Grand Prix Legends which add up to 25 minutes and 20.22 seconds. Your GPLRank handicap is calculated as the sum of all your best lap times minus the benchmark time.

GPLRank consists of the 11 tracks that are included with Grand Prix Legends. With the introduction of other tracks several other ranks have been added.

Live For Speed: Online Racing Simulator just works for me...

Indeed. Maybe slapping a "The" in front of it.

Quote from (SaM) :

Strippers? That would make T1-carnage even worse!

Actually I think everyone would drive very slowly (and honk their horns) in T1

Interesting to run this with XR GT and default hard track setup

I managed to finish though, despite every shock / spring totally gone and I even ran out of fuel at the last ramp

Especially the third and final lap was a challenge, after landing from a jump the front of the car kept bouncing up to the next ramp and I desperately tried to keep it straight :P

They represent road cars, and racing them represents most likely racing your buddies on a track day. I think it's perfectly realistic not to have rollcages in them.
