Roger that!

Did you think that I might have been tapping the brakes to get you to back off a bit . Thanks for sharing the set, I keep deleting it by mistake when I ma cleaning up st that I won't ever use. I guess I have a poor naming convention.

Thanks for the advise, I'lll use it during my next practice run tonight. But I also need to find a set that both RaceFreek and I can drive in the 3hr endurance race we are in Sunday.

Chuck I wasn't successful keeping "our" set on the track for more than a lap or two. Maybe I was pushing too hard, but I couldn't hit the corners right, and whenever I slowed down to hit the corners smoother I would end up off the track.

On a positive note using the nighthawk set that I sent I was able to lower my pb by a full second.

The patch most likey will cause us all to adjust or setups. Or it may make the setup we are using more friendly to me if it addresses the low speed grip problem.

I'll be back in the track again tonight to give it another go. I am just looking for alternatives that would make us both happy.

Looks good Nolan. Keeping killing that time.

Can you post your latest endurance set to the on-line folder? Chuck and I haven't found anything we are both comfortable with yet.

I use firefox for my web browser. I'll try again tonight with IE, and see if that works. I also signed up for the forums.

It is a known issue that your site is not Firefox friendly. IE or Firefox in IE mode should work just fine.

Glad you intersted in the team. Now I'll have someone to swap paint with after the others pass us .

Jethro!

I am on typically between 8:30PM-9:00PM until 11:00PM EST.

See you around.

No problem. I know what I did and that is the important part. Besides, having been on the oval the Eagles before I was surprised to make the podium . You must have been too .

Congrats to the (EAGLE)s for showing us LOTF racers who exactly is are daddy.

I enjoyed the event with all it twists, turns, crashes, and mechanical failures.

Hats off to the (EAGLE)s.

LOTF will be back for another round...

Happy Birthday, Nolan .

Enjoy the day with family, friends, and a few laps on the track. Nothing could be finer .

Thanks for the reply Victor. I'll give it a try. I had previously unzipped the files, but not to a new directory.

Thanks to everyone who came to the server lastnight. Sorry it wasn't that much fun, though.

It appeared that whenever a new guest joined the session they were disconnected with a "OOS - RACE PLY COL SET" message. What I could not tell was if all guests were disconnected or just the guest who was joining the session.

I was not disconnected at all however. I believe I connected via the internet and not the LAN.

I also ran a server from my gaming machine for awhile, but nothing usual happened on that machine.

Thanks NightHawk.

I have both been on the server and told (I was not there) when disconnects happen.

Onetime the the whole machine crashed, another the server reset, but mostly it is just a dropped connection here and there.

I knew somebody would ask this sooner or later.

[LOTF] Practice

Let me know wold it goes for you NightHawk.

I just tried out the server myself. This time I connection via the internet instead of via the LAN. I got disconnected myself.

The message were:

OOS - RACE PLY
Lost Synchronisation with Host

Port 63392 is forwarded.

I forgot to mention that the server is setup for 12 connections and 12 cars in total.

Thanks for your help.

SamH thanks for the reply.

I was thinking of trying to host a server from my super duper gaming machine, but have not done so yet.

My upload speed is 689 kbs, download is 1400 kbs. But I have seen the upload speed as low as 280 kbs.

The users that I know of who have had disconnect problems are from the US and Canada. I am in the US as well.

My internet connection is a cable modem with router.

I am hosting a dedicated server on a 500 Mhz with 128 MB RAM machine.

After people join the server they are disconnected. This doesn't happen all the time, but enough to the point that it is annoying and people will stop visiting the server.

I have been told that the message users see when disconnected are: "race col set" and "graphic mesh triangulation". I don't see anything that would be much help on the server console itself.

Can someone suggest what the issue maybe that is causing the disconnects?

Thanks in advance.

2:1 aspect ratio? WTF?

So flame me. I got the numbers wrong. I am old and my memory is not so good. 1280X1024 is that better?

I run @ 2048X1024 @75Hz AA & AF are set specific numbers I don't remember. I get about 40-60 FPS.

Personally, I don't do much oval racing. I have never found the right setup and line combination to make me competitive. But I am sure that overtime I will be get better.

But for now I stick mainly to the road courses. Lately I have started to enjoy the FOX and MRT. But my favorite cars are the LRF class.

As someone who works on installation routine for a living I would say that a true uninstall should remove all files, folders, shortcuts, and registry keys. But if there is the possibility of an re-install or an upgrade you have three options.

1) Do nothing remove the config file along with the rest of the application.
2) Prompt for back up of the config files so the user has access to them if they choose to re-install or upgrade.
3) Automatically back up the config files for the user and let them how where there are in a message box.

Personally I would go for option 2 and give the user the ability to specify where the backups should be created.

Happy Birthday. You have earned a well deserved rest and play day. Enjoy.

I think most people will tell you just use a third party app like WinAmp. This is also the easiest.

As an alternative if you must put them in game for some reason. In game music must be in ogg format. You can take your own music convert it copy it to the ogg folder under data then create a channel to play your music your way.

I have a Logitech MOMO Racing wheel. I never read or investigated what the Profiler could do for me.

I have read in other posts about the ability to bind wheel buttons to function keys and the like.

How do you do that? Can it be done in game or does it depend on the wheel that you are using?

Thanks in advance.
