Quote from Stefani24 :That shouldnt be a problem at all. F1 can manage that.

F1 is F1 and not LFS
Did you ever drove in an LFS league with pit stops and more then 25 drivers?
As someone else already mentioned here in this thread in F1 you have teams and 2 drivers share a pit, right.
But in normal LFS leagues (or in the leagues I usually raced over the years) you usually don't have this.
Atm everyone can pit everywhere and even if we got fixed pit places then you still have to share the pit with someone you don't know or who maybe have the same strategy in a league race etc. etc. I sometimes have driven a lap longer just to not get into trouble because of the few pit places we have to share - so it's def. a complete other precondition.

I don't think there is a free way of doing it automatically whenever you update your main calendar.

Maybe this could be interesting (if you trust google )
Laptop Outlook --> to google to --> PC Outlook
http://www.daveswebsite.com/software/gsync/index.shtml

I usually use my Phone and MS active sync.
Plug it to one PC then to the other.
Takes only a few seconds

Quote from hyntty :No. The police can't get to youtube... among other unsuitable sites, like hotmail

That's sorta why the domestic affairs minister should resign

So they have some kind of psychic in the police there or why did they had to speak with him earlier?
Maybe the world press is just not reliable (as you can find articles like this everywhere):
Quote :"Just hours after the massacre Finland's Interior Minister Anne Holmlund revealed that police had questioned Saari on Monday about a video posted on YouTube that showed him shooting his weapon at a firing range, but police had not deemed him enough of a threat to withdraw his gun licence."

Quote from deggis :No. Buying gun and obtaining gun lisence is different thing. And you would need parents authorisation for that and its probably not that easy as it sounds like. And probably that is limited only to hunting guns.

So the authorities have to check your backgrounds before giving permissions, now let's blame them even more, they must have seen it.
I just wrote the sentence you quoted and the above as an example, that you can blame everyone if you want to, depends of how you argue.
I think it's just not fair to always and everywhere say: "the parents fault"

Quote from deggis :
Some of the videos he posted to youtube just yesterday. After he visited police. I wouldn't blame this police because I trust their expertise. Psychopaths are worlds best liars. Might be that this police won't sleep for couple of next weeks or years without some heavy medication.

But they only noticed and visited him because of the videos he posted earlier, or not?
Anyway I agree with you there is no real way to find out psychopaths but if not even trained people can, how can the parents.

Quote from J@tko :But if his parents had brought him up properly, then he would wouldn't have gone and shot some people, surely, even if he did have a gun.

Do you really think that parenting can stop a disease?
Because someone who does something like that
must be emotionally and psychologically disturbed.
And not even a trained police officer noticed it how can the parents know it.

I don't think it's always that easy to say: "It's the parent's fault"

But of course if you want you can find guilty people everywhere:
What about the Gun fabricator, if the guy had no chance to buy one, he couldn't shoot someone else.
That's just an example of "It just depends of how you want to see it".

Quote from BlueFlame :Blame the parents, it's the only way.

or blame the government that allows 15 year olds to buy weapons in Finland,
or the police officers who visited this guy 1 day earlier (because of the shooting videos he posted in the net before) but the officer thought he is not dangerous. etc. etc.

It's not always the parents, you know.

Quote from ADX.14 :A simple and useful suggestion. We need a lollipop man in pit area. ....It does not required a huge code homework.

Funny looks like you know more about the game code itself than Scawen.

As much as I like the idea, as long as we don't have a "pit box" for every driver it doesn't make much sense.

32 driver must share 16 pit places like in Blackwood or Westhill.
What will happen if everyone is pitting at the same time?
Where will the lollipop man appear? And so on...
There are much more things to think of than you thought

For me it would be great to have at first a pit box for every driver,
then it would be nice to have the other stuff.

Quote from three_jump :http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=860722#post860722

So we don't know anything what awaits us until we get it... Has always been so and I don't think that the devs will change that.

That's why I wrote that on the first page of this thread:

Quote from Hyperactive :Common sense does not equal a good guess though. Of course you did not say it as a fact that there was a new track coming but you still were quite certain about it.

And I still be certain about it (see the last 2 paragraphs of this post)

Quote from Hyperactive :
(I have no idea what you mean by those scawen quotes, the zzz patch or the 2nd of july...?)

( You quoted my post from page one it was all in there)
The last work we all got from Eric was released with "Patch Z" on the 2nd of July 2008.
1 Day later on the 3rd of July 2008 Scawen wrote:
Quote from Scawen :
...
The standard keeps getting higher, many new unplanned features are added, and that is why things take longer than planned. You've got most of what I have done but there are some things on Eric's hard drive awaiting completion, and you'll get them when they are done. It's easier to release a half-baked code feature that works, but you can't release a track with some hills you can see under and cars with holes in them...

About the half-baked code sentence:
For me that means Scawen can release code with a test patch that doesn't work 100% as he can fix it easily with the next (small) test patch .exe and often the game does then not even get incompatible.

But things like a new cars and tracks take way more time then a few months and have to be (almost) perfect before they can be released, as it makes no sense to force the users to download real big updates again just because there have been fixed some small graphical glitches in the model. And then the whole game will get incompatible to the version before ect.

In the end he said that there are still things on Eric's harddisk
Ok you are right Scawen could mean anything with it:
- Finish and release Westhill updates
- RB4 / UF1 / UFR interiors
As he wrote a few words about the progress and future updates of LFS before Patch Z was released ->: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=44905

BUT
Eric is still the (3D/GFX) artist of the devs. and usually do the tracks and the car modells and most of the GFX stuff. But what makes anyone think that Eric has stopped with his usual work? (Which includes also track updates and working on new cars and tracks)

So if he has not stopped being the artist of the LFS Devs team then it would be logic that he is still working on track updates, new cars and tracks as that's part of his job in the team. That's for me common sense

Quote from Hyperactive :^^Seems more like an issue about not seeing the difference between an example and actual info

If you want to see some kind of signs you should look through all of Scawen's posts really. You could get really excited when he happens to mention words like rally, pack, formula, rwd, track and new. I'm sure he has mentioned those. Whoohoo! We get a Ferrari F40!

It's no wonder really why they devs seem to avoid all kind of talk about future updates simply because people seem to think that maybe=defenately.

Or is it some kind of desperation, to seek confirmation that LFS is still going forward, to make yourself believe that this is just a slight lull in the huge scheme of things?

Your reply to my post doesn't make any sense it
seems more like you have not read my post properly.

When Scawen writes 1 day after we got the latest stuff:
(The quote I used from Scawen was from the 3rd of July.
Car interiors with patch Z came on the 2nd of July )

Quote :"You've got most of what I have done but there are some things on Eric's hard drive awaiting completion,"

Then I think you don't see the difference between an example and actual info.

But I never said it's a fact that we get a new track.
I said "That makes me believe" (together with a bit common sense)

What do you think is Eric doing all day since we got that?
Does he really only do some interiors all months since Dec. 2007 when we got the FBM and the rebfurbished South City and Blackwood track.

Victor also asked someone else to work on the scirocco modell at first which implies Eric has much other things to do. That can't be just car interior updates.

Quote from GrandlHuber :If it´s true that no one is actually workin on trackdesign,

Dunno where you get that from.
All I know is that Eric is doing things like that (modelling cars and tracks, gfx stuff)
He is not working exclusively as just a trackdesigner but still does all the graphical stuff.

Anyway to your original question:

Scawen explained why they usually don't say anything about the things to come:
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=860722#post860722

but
Quote from ORION :The reason why the scirocco will be in LFS is mostly because of vic really wanted this car in LFS and thus he did anything to make this happen. A while back he asked me to help with modelling but apparently Eric made it all alone already

If Victor is asking someone else to do the modelling.
Then Eric must be doing something else that eats up all of his working time apart from refurbishing the interior of some cars ( as this can't take up all of his time for such a long period).

Together with this statement from Scawen (03.07.2008) where he also talked about a track:
Quote from Scawen :but there are some things on Eric's hard drive awaiting completion, and you'll get them when they are done. It's easier to release a half-baked code feature that works, but you can't release a track with some hills you can see under and cars with holes in them.

That makes me believe that Eric is still working on the tracks and on a new one.
Sooner or later we'll all see it

Quote from rediske :But I still hate Heiko Wasser... (german commentator)

Totally agree.
The most hated sentence from him for me is:
(freely translated)
"We are now making our own pit stop (commercial break) but you wont miss anthing.."
I then always think: WTF is he talking, of course do I miss something when they come back with the live feed 3 minutes later.

If he would not have Christian Danner at his side then he would look like a complete idiot sometimes

Quote from JCTK :not as worse as someone I forgot his name of we got here in Asia from ESPN...
he even thought the extreme wets were dry soft tyres because of that white strip~!

Sounds also like a funny guy with great knowledge

Quote from AlienT. :Pity that:

There is no pitting
There is no flag usage implemented yet
There are RESETS allowed in the races.....wtf?
Tyre modelling and set ups are in their infancy......tyre pressures, temperatures and wear are not best impimented at all, therefore it is a bit crap for the budding sim engineer
There is a severe lack of data available for the cars
Transmission modelling is well not there really, neither is engine damage and such.
It costs a fair bit
You cannot save replays
There is no way to use a data logger for analysing your racing data as yet.
I could go on....!

At least some of the above really should be fundamental to a new sim. Also the LFS CTRA system is not a million miles from the iRacing ratings sytem.....How much have they spent on developing iRacing ????WOW! Sam and his CTRA system and of course LFS in general is very impressive when budgets are concerned.

But anyway....LOL......I am really loving iRacing has the best actual driving experience I have tried in a sim, you can almost feel the yaw angle through the corners, well you know what I mean It will be pretty darned good and when a lot of the above negative stuff is included.

I agree with you in most parts tbh I was really shocked that there is not even fuel/pitting/flags implemented.

It was a good experience to drive but imo it's still in beta (maybe more like LFS is atm) and so I decided to try it again maybe next year when hopefully the fundamental things are implemented. Sure shiny new tracks and cars etc. but for the money they want I expect much more.
Looks like I have to wait.

Have you watched replays from the other drivers?
If not try to get them especially from Tobias Thomas

I've only seen something like that once.
In my replay there was no touch at all but some small lagging of the other car. In some of the other replays you could then see the other car was warping and touching me for some ms etc.

Quote from shaun463 :It is on the TDC forum. And I'm rather annoyed since I spent hours getting ready for it and I turned up, the race started and as soon as it started my internet connection went down .

The disconnection was bad luck
but you entered the server again after 10 minutes !!! and 45 seconds
when we were in lap 8. Then you asked if you missed it
What have you expected ?
