I may be talking out of turn here, I really don't have much experience with this. But it makes sense to me given everything that I have read so far...

The insim app should create a string that is the equivalent of a PHP serialized object, then it writes the string to a file on the web server, the web page then de-serializes the object and writes out the value on the page when rendered.

I just don't know C# well enough to give anymore details. But conceptually this sounds like what Vane is looking for.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

edit: furthermore, you could have asked, yourselves, via any of the four communication methods available.

OK we get it. We need to have one non-driving team member on both the team ventrilo and admin teamspeak channels, or vis-a-versa. As all team should from this point on.

Lets move on now.

The button bind to "Admin Alert" sounds feasible. I wonder if it could open a button bind snafu can of worms. I think it is important to remember that an endurance race is a team event. As such as team members either driving or not need to keep in constant contact, and the team needs put themselves in a position to contact the race admins as situations warrant it, by whatever means they are comfortable with.

Between watching the racers, communicating amongst themselves, the tracker, and the pit lane applications the admins have an ever growing list of things that need to be done to keep this league running smoothly. I'd be very cautious in adding to that list without making sure that everything has adequate coverage. It is still early in the season, a few wrinkles need to be worked out, as they always do. We as drivers and the league orgainizers/admins will never be able to cover 100% of the issues that will arise over the course of a season. The best we all can hope for is to learn from each experience make adjustments and move on, and hope the adjustments made are appropriate.

Congrats. :elefant: :drummer: :bullwhip:

Quote from BenjiMC :

for future rounds it might be worth a few drivers joining our VOIP channels where you can help notify us of similar situations.

WHat is the deal with the 05 just sitting on the pit exit lane?

Well if they had read the rules they would know what to do.

Quote :

3) Shift-P and Shift-S may not be used in qualifying except to end one’s session. For new tires or additional fuel, drivers must enter the pit lane and make a pit stop. No setup changes can be made aside from those in the F11 and F12 menus. Drivers may Shift-P or Shift-S and return to pit lane, but must not exit the pit lane.

what is the url to the tracker, I didn't catch it in-game?

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Perhaps some common sense can be used here.

Bones, if common sense was being used by the lapping , as well as, lapped cars you wouldn't have to re-write the rules.

I think you are setting yourself up for controversy. The 2+ laps down but fast than a lapping car clause is rather subjective. Additionally, if I am faster even though I am multiple laps down I am not giving up my position only to tail the lapper because he is laps ahead, just makes for a dangerous situation. As you state lapped cars have the right to unlap themselves if possible.

Quote from Hallen :

What the faster guy has to realize is that the slower guy is racing too. You may have to wait for a corner or two before the pass can happen if you catch them at a bad spot.

Conversely, the slower guy has to realize that the faster guy isn't just out there hot lapping for a pb. They are having a race too and every 10th of a second is important to them. Don't fight the guy, work with him to let him get around as quickly and as safely as possible.

Lapping is a big part of endurance racing. Traffic giveth and traffic taketh away. Learn from it and accept it. It will not change anytime soon. I can't say it any stronger than this. It is part of endurance racing at every level. Expanded and explicit rules are not really going to make it any different, just more complicated.

Very well said, Hallen.

urlencode expects a string, have you tried wrapping The Very End in quotes?

[COLOR=#0000bb][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#000000]$varStats [/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]= [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]$SDK[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]->[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]get_pst[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]([/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]urlencode[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]("[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]The Very End"[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]));[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]

or

Can you give the actual line of code and the error text? I use rawurlencode() and do not have any issues.

I maybe talking out my arse here, but it could be because they are in the pits serving a penalty, which does not count as a pit stop.

Isn't there a packet of info that says they entered the pits to serve a penalty?

Your best vid to date, Nolan, keep up the good work.

For those who want to watch a race before signing up. LOTA will be broadcasting these two series on LFS-TV.

15 Nov - BF1 Sprint Series Round 1

You can read about LFS-TV, here. You can download the latest version (0.0.2.0) of LFS-TV, here.

Congrats to all the teams. Great series! Looking forward to doing it again.

Going to be a movie maker:

Feel free to see my first one:

Title : "What´s the rush all about".

See attached file.

Rookie SC driver who would rather have been racing instead.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Hi Gil,
I would like to re-warn bdshan about the way he re-enters the track after the spin, though. He almost did serious damage to the 09 there, which certainly would have incurred a penalty.

Car Numbers: #9 and #19
Lap/Time: #9's Lap 280
Description of incident or video link:
The #9 comes up and hits me, #19, causing me to spin and hit the wall. The reason he came up into me was cause he went down low collided with a passing [CD] car and was sent upwards.

Car Numbers: #9 and #19
Lap/Time: #9's Lap 273 or 274
Description of incident or video link:
The #9 rear ends me #19 approaching the start finish line. LFS had displayed a yellow flag because 2 cars just ahead had collided. I took caution seeing the incident and was tagged in the back by #9 causing us both to spin.

Quote from Gil07 :

Checked, and yes, it's on lap 291. About the 2 other incidents between car #09 and car #19, I'd class them as racing incidents.

You would see it that way, seeing as it favors you.

The Lap 273/274 incident I would say Race Hero did not display situational awareness. I saw trouble ahead and LFS displayed a yellow flag. I took caution and he hits me in the rear. I don't think that is a racing incident.

The Lap 280 incident was caused my him going low down into passing [CD] car, which sent him back up into me.

The lap 291 incident was caused by me going low down into him, I'll admit that. I thought I had room. But if you think the other two incidents were racing incidents, well so was this.

Watch Race Hero's whole last driving shift he was spinning and hitting things fairly often, under green and yellow flags conditions.

I started to play around this this lastnight, but I could not find the Negative LOD Bias setting in nHancer. Did I just overlook it? I have a nvidia 7900 GS.

How about altering the driver array to be an associative array


[COLOR=#0000bb]$drivers [/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]= array([/COLOR][COLOR=#dd0000]'Megin'=>'FXO'[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700],
[/COLOR][COLOR=#dd0000]'BIGMAN'=>'RB4'[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700],
[/COLOR][COLOR=#dd0000]'eraser_svk'=>'RB4'[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#007700]);[/COLOR]


Then in your function use the array keys for the driver and the value as the car.


function [COLOR=#0000bb]some_function_name[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]([/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]$SDK[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700], [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]$track[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700], [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]$racers[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700])[/COLOR]


Just a quick thought off the top of my head.

I feel your pain.

In any case the |||LOTF IGTC server has been added to the relay so Spectator can be with it.

Bones,

I'll the LOTF server to the relay. The question is then, do you intend to use the LOTF server? I understand that it was not used for the test event due to lag issues, but still there were a fair amount of disconnects from the CD server. So I guess you and Benji need to pick your poison.
