Quote from Vykos69 :Once more, a little info to all guys, that get a blue flag and are in the same car category:

1: Dont change line on the straight, so the faster car can get used to that and easily overtake you

2: DONT lift the throttle when the faster car is right behind you on the straight!!!

3: If he's close near a turn, just take a wider line there...


After seeing this
Quote : #02 SK Gaming drafted up on the rear of the #23 T7R car exiting the second sector and attempted to make the pass too late.... Result: DT for car #02.

Quote from AppiePils :Shift+p for no reason is not encouraged.

Every shift+p will be issued with a +1 lap and after the race we will evaluate whether that shift+p was beneficial for that particular team. If needed additional penalties will be issued to ensure a fair outcome.

But isn't every shift+p benefical for a team in the same way?

"get stuck and don't use it - race is over !!! ",
"engine damage and not use it - race is over (well or better completly senseless)

Both shift+p have the same result - "the race is not over"

So why should there other or different penalties for the same thing

Quote from Gekkibi :Don't start to mock me but I had to ask: Why do you need "clans" in a racing simulator? Sure, there are different teams in F1 IRL, for example, but still... I just don't get it, enlight me.

I think the majority here would say it's called "Teams" not "clans"

I you want to do leagues like http://www.mastersofendurance.eu/
where you have to drive 6, 12 or 24 hours you def. need a Team.
Then when you got someone from your Team telling you when to pit over Teamspeak or that you have to push a bit harder or that you have to let someone driving another faster class of car pass etc. then it makes the feeling of driving in a league more realistic.

And like S}{adow said not everyone can do (good looking) skins on his own or build (good and fast) setups etc.

and here is a whole thread about it with some good explanations:

Quote from PwrSlave :Omg, this only represents the tension thats going on out there. Now i have tried to make a little joke, wich came through badly. My fault, i guess im dead now .

Well, if it was a joke then ok (maybe put a smiley behind it next time, then it’s more understandable for others).


Quote from PwrSlave :
But, i really dont see the point of all this fighting about 30 sec sand penalty or 1 lap, as it was kinda clear to me reading the posts, then Paul suggested the 30 sec sand penalty for all teams, not just GT2 XRR cars. Or am i wrong?

When people have different opinions then they usually try to explain it with posts here, you know. Often the foreign language (or the epic posts ) that is used for it by some people makes it hard to really get the point or what they really mean and sometimes a discussion went a bit to far.

Quote from PwrSlave :
And this T7R crying about stuff is really getting old to me, as its not the first time i have seen stuff like that from them.

Maybe it was just another joke of you that went wrong but I don’t think so.
So I can’t leave that uncommented because it’s just not true.
If you can’t distinguish between a discussion or bringing up points or thoughts or things that are wrong and “crying about stuff” then no one can help you. But don’t write such a sh.t about my Team which just cast a poor light on us for no real reason.

Quote from PwrSlave :
. i truly wish ALL the teams very best of luck!

So do we.

Quote from PwrSlave :lol !

I hope that S-Core, or any other team with potential pwns both of T7R and Mercs hard, so you'd all shutup allready. Besides that, i wish all the teams good luck in da race.

With that you are atm on place 1 for the most unsportsmanlike driver in LFS. Great attitude NOT

Quote :There is also the option to buy a license for someone else. This is done via a so called 'Voucher', which is a special code that can be entered on our website, to upgrade an account to S2 licensed. So when buying a license for someone else, you buy a voucher, which is a code that the other person can use to upgrade his account here on the Live for Speed website.

Out of respect for the teams who helped us out, we will not go in detail regarding our calculations since it might give away too much information regarding their respective stint/laptimes and/or strategy.

Quote from Jakg :Erm, I have downloaded a perfectly legal copy of XP Pro free, with a legal serial key. Rare as hell to find stuff like this, but it does happen...

(Also got legal Vista Business and Server 2003 keys this way, all legal, direct from M$)

I know there are the MSDN subscriptions, MSDN AA etc. but I doubt that the guy who started this thread meant something like this or has ever heard of it.

This is funny whenever someone is asking how to use a crack for LFS or use it etc. people freak out

but when someone is asking how to use a cracked/hacked OS (or if he should download it) no one realy seems to care about it.

Or where in the world can you download a licensed version of the OS Windows XP ???

Quote from PaulC2K :And shows your opinions is worthless if you think its fine for 1 car to get a minor 10-15sec penalty while the other gets 3+ minutes.

Well what you don't get is that you can't compare apples with oranges (well you can but it makes no sense).
Race incidents happen, true. But what if an FXR gets pushed out instead of an XRR and maybe mis-shift and damages the engine. Do they also get a "suitable compensation on a Shift+P " or people like my Team who always have disconnects in every race. Isn't that unfair?

When things like that happen or another car is involved then it's bad luck /or bad driving. I could think about another 20 situations that are not "fair" but it doesn't really have to do with racing/balancing the cars or improving the classes which this thread is all about (not balancing the situations that can maybe happen with others cars or to one or another driver and especially to the Mercury GT2 car.)

And btw if you would have done a better research then you would have seen that the last thing the most vocal member of T7R has said in this thread was:
Quote from three_jump :GT2:
I would say it's pretty much perfect now (23% restriction)

Quote from PaulC2K :
Also, on the last line, as i highlighted in post #61, the difference between laps is half what both Mercury & T7R have said seems a reasonable difference to balance them by (0.25 compared to 0.5, see posts #38 & #44).
23.5% would be fine but doesnt exist, which was why i suggested a minor weight change, either on their car or on ours if they used 24%

Not everyone in T7R thinks like Three_Jump .
I think 23% is a good decision.

Other things like "dodgy dives" or GT1 crashes (can happen to everyone) has imo as much to do with almost equal cars as a bag of rice.

And the statement that the XRR is harder to drive is also just a matter of taste, no one was forced to use it but I reckon most did because they thaught it's more challenging or 'cause they always use it or just because it was faster then the FXR. It still is faster but not that much faster.
So we'll hopefully have a nice and clean race with lots of fights, no crashes, no people who get stuck in the sandpit and no unexpected disconnections.

And as mentioned elsewhere I'm also the lead singer of Albany Down, once voted the UK's hottest independent band. We now have a bassist (for the time being) so I'm not playing an instrument any more. We gig, you want to come and see us. Morbo demands attendance!

Bit OT but
nice sound and website you got
btw the start of the new song JEALOUSY sounds like I have heard it before - then I remembered the bass from the Killing Joke song Eighties

Quote from daanroof :ok, thanks a lot
but i checked out the record thing he wrote and i dont understand how to assign the shift paddle's to shift up and down so if someone could explain it here that would be nice.

assign or record the left shift paddle in the recorder software to downshift and the right paddle to upshift - save the sheme - then open LFS and you can assign the left and right paddle shifters to the buttons for up and downshift.

or use this sheme (unzip it !) and put it into:
C:\Programme\Microsoft Hardware\Game Controllers\Schemes (or wherever you installed the MS software) and then assign the buttons in LFS -> Options -> Controls

Quote from daanroof :anyone knows where i can find XP drivers for the MS FF wheel?
I tried google but i cant find it, I only find drivers for 98, is there even drivers for XP? can i use the 98 drivers even though im using XP?

There are no XP drivers available for this wheel, MS stopped the support after Win98.

But it depends on what wheel you have for the USB version of the wheel you can still use the 4.0 drivers under XP:
http://www.technikteam.de/software/download.php?id=500
(use the "Download now" button or google for
SideWinder Game Controller Software Version 4.0 )

If you then want to use the recorder function of the drivers you have to do this:

That's what I read:

" Virgin has ordered 15 of the new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft which can be used for the 16-hour non-stop stretch between London and Perth (Australia)."

So I don't think they can do (will try) it with an A340

Must be a special UK thing.

In Germany Amazon delivery times are usually great (for me).

The last time I ordered some DVDs with normal postage (no special expensive fast delivery) it was like this: Ordered it ~15:20 on Wednesday - and got the package the next day at 11:00 o'clock.
And the other stuff takes usually only 2 days for me.

Quote from DaveWS :Muse rule... but this is an extremely pointless thread...

I totalle agree
It's like the other 73% of the threads in this forum.
The most of them are pointless or useless or post count related or just filled with self adulation.
