RF1 CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON 1

New RF1 SERVER For BF1 and other championships.

Sing up today at www.rf1.moonfruit.com

Server - ! REAL F1 !

i need the server status in a html snippet form

Ok i have a quick question ?

I have my server status on our website. www.rf1.moonfruit.com but there status has not updated its self ? any reason why ???? its still showing people who was in the server a hour ago lol

Hey all just a update really on the current progress ! So as you know parts of the website have been opened and the analytics are looking very good for only 18hours of been partially open. looking at doubling traffic and av time spent on site once fully launched with live tables, lfs remote, life race specs and race highlight videos and so on.

But today really is all about testing the new insims and getting them perfect. Currently stripping down the code and changing the look and feel of the UI for insim to get the RF1 look.

You can apply on the Forum on the site :-)

Ok Parts of the website have been opened up so you can take a look get a feel of it.

The server is currently up and running and will be for the next few hours while i work on the diff insims and get them all singing and dancing :-)

Yeh i looked into that information after i did the 1st post and remember you cant stop people from download the tracks. We are still decided how to run the P1 & p2 yet or time length. The server and insim was fine but atm we are working on getting the website all up and finished. Atm on the site you can view Tracks, Stats, Pics are forum. Loads more to go onto it yet but small amount of info is there. Its all linked up so you can use your facebook with it and so on. Site will be finished on the 13th and that will contain all the final Rules and laws and instructions with it.

The aim is to make the most competitive F1 style simulation. with the fresh tracks and so on like i said before. The races will be held every weekend ! seasons will back onto each other. so there is no wait time. I know alot of server like this have BREAKS and weeks between races of course allows people to practice . This is a simple week after week racing. Time has not get been set. We will look at the collective time zones of the chosen ones and then decide what best suits all. If we get enough intrest and get 2 season running side by side A & B we will take the top 10 teams / drivers from each season at the end and but them into a end of season MASTERS half 1/4 season only 5 races. over 2 weeks. But thats only if we have 2 seasons running side by side.

Everything els is in place. The server will be left up in a few days to create some intrest. But once the season starts the server will only be up during P1 & P2 & race times Private !

The point system works in a way to create a tighter season. going up in 0.5 points. Some server have a point system so if your 1st its 15 points and 2nd is 10 and so on this causes a massive gap and people give up. !!! So we decided 1st place is 5 2nd 4.5 and so on down to 0

Amount of laps will depend on the track length But i dont want to give away to much information will update this when the site is fully launched !

again its www.rf1.moonfruit.com

Just a small suggestion you need to seriously work on your website. It looks like it was built in the 1990's. I cant see a Join us/Login or Forum for suggestion and members to talk. but you know just a small suggestion get your website right 1st :-)

i think you will find there all on about the EU = European union . But seeing as its EU and not the official EU logo there is nothing wrong with that. Your not allowed to use the EU logo with out permission. Nothing wrong with using the letters EU.

As for the tm trademark sign after. well so what its a game lmao !!! i dont think anyone really give a crap about the whole trademark issue. but now thats cleared up :-)

ok we now have a website www.rf1.moonfruit.com soon we will have a new url maybe rf1.com but for now link above :-)

will keep posted when the site is fully running :-) server is now online :-)

Why. Can't. Some... One... Open.. A... ****ING RACE SERVER

I have a Race server ! Well its still early stages only opened for testing 2 days ago but all is going well. website will be up tonight :-) but its for BF1 racing only :-)

yes maps will be provided before practice and of course some maps will make it back into each season with small changes the practice server has had good feed back with the twisting layout of fast and slow corner with dips and lows making the car light on the bend

Ok so i have been talking to a few people and we have decided to run a full blown F1 style racing season. Ill give a small bit of info below all the rest you will find on the website once built in the next few days. we already have a server running atm as a test ! Real F1 ! ..

So what we was thinking. The Season will be open to all people in teams of 2 that is simple. 10 teams 20 cars. All teams must have a set a team skin for the car And must clearly display there given number in 3 places on the car this will be indicated on the site. So pretty simple.

No track will be the same at any point and we will not use any standard tracks on lfs. This makes it a even playing field for people. So you want have tracks that you are good on and tracks that your bad on :-) The tracks wont be on offer to download for practice. However that been said. The server will be open to teams to practice twice before the race takes part. The practice 1 and 2 will be given a time and day upon witch teams will be e-mailed. Each practice will only last 30-40min to allow drivers and team to set the cars up.

The race

Every race will be private and locked to the teams entered into the season. each race will take place at the weekend and a time that suits all time zones.
Drivers will get a 20 min qualification beforehand. As always the rules are pretty simple. Dont drive like a idiot or you will get black flagged out of the race if you cause to many accidents or drive beyond you capable skills. If you cause a accident it will be judge by the admin on what the penalty should be e.g drive through, 30sec, 45 or stop and go and so on. The points systems has not yet been decided but if you get black flagged you will get points deducted from your self and team. More information about the rules of the race will be posted on the site when finished. The races will be watched by Admin members would will not take part in the races. of course race highlights will be added to the site after

All of this is to just drum up some promo about the sever and see what people think before we start putting time money and effort into getting it running.
Depending on the success of the season we will be looking into getting sponsors for a small prize fund at the end of the season for top driver and top team to give drivers something to look forward to and of course the fund will be spread out across the top 3 teams and drivers.

we are also looking into open tourney knock out stages for no season drivers but thats another thing.

So just a short bit of info really nothing to in-depth

So if you think the idea sound good or you would like to race then just say so we can look at the numbers and get the ball rolling.

Please if you dont like the idea there is no need to comment.

Thank you all

to check your bandwidth use www.speedtest.net and to get a good estimate of you steady stream bandwidth of upload :-) look at your ping as well will be a link on the speedtest.net website. but if you get about 5-10mb download you should be ok to run 1000+kbps upload just have to shut the dedi down and change it in the CFG file and change your packets to 6 :-)

but apart from that you should be fine to unblock you firewall on your pc you need to ever turn your firewall off if you feel brave or.

go to control panel then security - windows firewall

click to allow the program the dedi then click add port put name add the port and off you go :-) if you need that in more detail link below

http://windows.microsoft.com/e ... -port-in-Windows-Firewall

yeh just tried to connect i got a connection time out !!! poor upload bandwidth on your server :-)

Whats your bandwidth ???? If your running a ded server of your home pc you really need a steady stream bandwidth of at least 1024-10,000kbps or people just wont join if your around 128-250kbps because you get big lagg and jumpy cars.

As long as you have your IP set correct and you tcp/udp ports open all correct people should be able to join. but you may want to actually check the pc firewall may be blocking incoming connections to the ded :-)

Hey all did have a quick look on the forum could not find what i was looking for.

Ok the new LFS open track layout was a great idea until i found out that you cant really make a new track ! why do i say this well..

i made a couple of new track adding in diff corners and so on making the tracks more fun and longer e.g BF1 on the longest layout used 8.2% in fuel.

But the tracks dont work. You have to put the track in a way so you follow the old check points witch would mean i cant have the tracks the way i want. and i cant split the track and go back on my self. unless i allow wrong way driving GRRRR.

The only way around this is to create the track as a autocross witch is then pointless because only 1 person can start !!!!

Anyone els bugged with this issue as it does not fully allow you to create a open track layout to witch you desire and you have to stick into the form of the old track to get laptimes to work for multi player race !!!


What would be nice on LFS layout edit would be to remove current objects on the track. and allow you to move the current checkpoints + start and finish lines so you can have a true open map config ! :-)

yes thanks just done that and it worked lmao !!!! what a plonker lol

Thanks

yeh thats the one i have tried to change before and saved but every time i open it it says 128 again lol :-(

Quote from MadCatX :

Make sure you have this in cfg.txt


Upload Bandwidth 1024
Packs Per Sec 6


If your connection can handle it, these settings should give you the best smoothness. You might also want to check if you have the latest stable WINE (1.2.3) installed.

yeh i had my packet on 5 but changed to 6.

As for the bandwidth this is what i was saying. in the CFG file it gives no option to pic a max Bandwidth speed :-(

Hey all Sorry if this has been asked people but i cant find the answer i want.

Was hosting a server yesterday via the LFS game. Was running smooth with 11 people in 800 object no issue. set to 500kb upload. While that was running i got the DED host and sorting out all of my CFG file + got the Race insim working with a few tweaks.

But when i knocked the lfs host off and started up the DED host with insim. I check the CFG file and noticed it said the server was only running at 128kb and 3 people joined of witch one looked a bit laggy.

Can anyone help. My Down speed is 48-50mbs & my Up is 4.5-5mbs. far as i was aware i would be easily run a server on 256 or 350kb for 20ish racers with out a issue. But i have been told i need to use someone like 500 servers. and well for what i want im not willing pay the price.

The ded host is running on a Linux server.

Anyway i can up the bandwidth ?

Thanks all

ok i dont know what im doing wrong but i just cant get this insim to work :-(

My dedicated server is up and running fine.

I can the admin pass, port & ip all the same but i just cant get it to work ?

I thought maybe it had a step by step guide in the HELP.txt file

Anyone ???

The funny thing about this is !!!

I can go on the Internet Download the VW Skin so i get the looks and the inside ! Then just use a Tweak to set up the Engine Size to the correct BHP and wheels base width :-) and Whoop there we go i have a VW SIMPLES !!! and this was i wont have to wait 6 million years :-) !!!

Thats the good thing about LFS you can download any Car and just tweak it to how you want and joina MOD Server :-) !!!! all Dandy :-) No need to wait for LFS to pick the pace up !!! i mean has anyone heard any news since there last post 1 year ago ???? Last i heard they was not going to release the car because the handling was not the same as the real car :S im sure we would of been happy with it 5% of the real car :S they could of just given us the car then carried on working on it and sent out a Update !!!! And as for the new track !!! has anyone had and trial versions of it yet ????? OR will there be a test version ????? Because from the looks of thing with the pictures it was all dont and finish so whats all the waiting for ????? anyone know anything in more detail ?????

Quote from Breizh :

I haven't looked in a long while, but IIRC there are endurance racing leagues. At least this one:
http://www.lfsforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=41

Thanks i cant seem to find any when i look at the servers

TBF saying that i was looking at starting up a Division ! of like 2 Races a week 1hour each 16 Races so it would run over 8 weeks! Maybe 20+ and you could do a cash prize at the end every drive put £2 in winner gets £20 2nd £10 3rd £5 4th £3 and 5th £2 summit like that would be given at the end of 8 weeks ! i just think it would make it more fun make it more of a competition ! just another idea

But ovs there would need to be a improved flag system or Insim For crashing and Black flags then again thats easy done by a few spectaters and replays saved added to a forum then re-viewed by admin then if guilty so many points de-ducted :-)

As for the Money i dont know how you would go about that maybe it would have to sit in a PP account and the race would be private new password sent out to racers before each race !!! dont know just another idea chucked out there with basics for somone to improve on

Quote from Breizh :

It's not what's wrong with Cruise and Drift, but that they're not priorities for LFS development right now. The official stance (I'm only guessing, don't take my word for it) is that they're welcome and Scavier are glad to entertain and accommodate them to some degree, but they're not top priorities.

The #2 mod idea needs to come with some systematic regulating solution to keep competition fair, or it just won't fit into LFS.

Yeh i Understand that fully ! but it would be nice to have the option to upgrade parts like Lighter Flywheel for fast reving and so on ! or a new LSD to prevent as much wheel spin ! But like you said this would have to be watched or like i said have a form or point's/money system in LFS Kinda like GT1-5 Or even just simple things like been able to change turbo BAR or better CAI or SRI just little things that could involve more fine tuning. But my idea was say for e.g you like to say in a XFG ! but you want to improve downforce with a spliter or spoiler or lighter or heavier wheels. remove seats for light weight ! just there options to an realistic Point. I know there is Tweak were you can do light weight and convert to 4wd or add turbo or change Bar ! summit like that but in the game ! but to a limit ! so say for e.g XFG limit would be a 1.6 Inline turbo 0.4 Bar With stage 2 light weight ! summit in the limits of been real ! Because there is no reason why A car with 50 or 60bhp would not win it happens alot !

But it just gives that option for racers to dev there cars that stage further like in most racing games!

When you go to a track day not everyone has the same car with the same power or setups . on the Standards cars that is ! i just think the option would be nice .

But like you said tbf i dont see it happening even tough it would be pretty easy to put in place seeing as the tools are already out there !

But Then again I dont see enough races that are long enough ever !

I would like to see more 20-40 lap races with pit stops and only 20% fuel at start and so on !!! this would involve more skill for pitting and how to put in on pit ! but this is down to the servers ! i have set my own up but when people see 30 laps there like NOOO ! even tough they will sit there and do 20+ races of 2-3 laps each lol = to 40-60 laps so i dont know !!! sorry that was a bit off subject but im trying to find people that would like to do bigger endurance races !
