If you take a look on our forum you will see the sign up thread with the google spreadsheets link.

I wouldn't be asking for the signups if I had the link already - the google spreadsheets link is a form to sign up, not to display the list of signups

^bump^

Would help if you actually displayed signups somewhere, otherwise no one is going to join anything with no one signed up...

Then be so kind as to tell us which layouts and which corners

Have you even bothered to look at the layouts in the first post?

You could always just have an Americas edition a few hours later

So quick question. I just go to 4.0 Rookie now im D 3.42 if i do the 4 races before Monday ill jump to C right?

Also to run in a multi car series i have to have the other car even if i dont drive it right?

You cannot go to C by just doing Rookie races, you need to complete your MPR (minimum participation requirement) in either your own or a higher class car, and since there's no D+ races in week 13, you cannot do your MPR to get to C.

Indeed, you need both cars.

There's a 31 car grid on the previous page Dygear (where I got 20 fps live )

(though why wouldn't the lap ahead/behind work? :s)

It quite simple: autocross/open with a start point = rally start, autocross/open from a grid = race start

A football in this iRacing analogy is a ball that you lease from your local park, while the iRacing subscription is the fees you have to pay your council to use your local park for the use of the changing rooms and everything else needed for your amateur league game

Quote from Scawen :

I don't know what you mean about the autocross lights, they seem to work ok. Maybe you are talking about the sequence of the lights? I can't change that easily, Eric did it how he wanted it, and it is stored in the lights object.

I've had people say that the lights don't work like the rest of the tracks - i.e. they have a predefined hold time on the red lights, so you can work out how long they will be on for, before going green, rather than the normal random delay.

Just tested it out in single player and it seems to be true: take KY2R for example - normally it goes 1 - 2 - 3 banks of red, then a delay between 1 and 2 seconds I timed on my stopwatch. But on KY2Y, it goes 1-2-3 red and then onto green much quicker, seems to be exactly 1 second on my watch

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=40857 does most of what you need (cba to look at your zip file though), plus you can give penalties or RCMs to people manually if you bother to read docs/commands.txt.

Couple of things Scawen - where are the shift + u views actually stored - are they in a file so we can share these with others? Also, can the autocross lights be made to work the same as the other tracks?

Quote from AstroBoy :

Not amused with the new oval stuff the street stock as fun as it is to drive twice ive had my race ruined by guys who spin in the middle of the track and just stop me having no where to go, i hit them 4x cant even turn the car race over -.7 or some crap its stupid.
Had a good race going then got spun by a car moving up the track mid corner hits my rear end i get a 4x multiplier then had a crashed car hit my side and i get another 4x for incidents that werent even my fault and out of my control. Im starting to wonder about how its calculated let alone how people cant turn left?
Guess i wont be hitting 3.0 this week if i keep racing time trials here i come.
Just a side question is doing the whole towing thing and starting again even worth it?? Does the safety score go up down or what??

RANT OVER WOO!!!!!

Ah yes, you appear to have started at the wrong time, week 13 is the end of season races, where due to the fact that there's only really 2 road/oval series, and they are open to everyone, it can become a bit of a wreckfest.

I would make sure you test "offline" the tracks in week 13 before you do them, so you know yourself that you are safe and can keep it on the track. And then just keep your wits about you in the race - assume everyone else is an idiot

Quote from EQ Worry :

What other new/alternate tracks of the layout pack you think would deserve to be fully supported using Airio/AIRW? It is quite easy to support tracks that just combine standard paths. It is much harder to define completely new turns and parts of tracks. And, frankly, would you be interested in having such support? I see many people have fun just with the layout, never mind no data being stored and no race positions/flags are available.

At the moment definitely yes, always useful to know where you are in the race, to have flags and all of the other things path files bring - wrong way is useful as well .

As for ones you could do next, up to you really, whatever is easiest/quickest to do tbh, we can wait on the others, but here's a list of the tracks we've used over the past few days:

A11, A12, A14, A23, A24, A28; B11, B23/R; F11, F12, F25 (FE2R with new T1 + oval), F26 (F21 with different final corner); K21 (KY2 but with T2 of the oval), K32; (this reminds me that we need to upload some more pics/layouts :schwitz

Is it possible to get track lengths from new .pth files?
---
Also just as you're here in this thread , can you implement the choice between vote kick and vote ban in Airio, to allow one or the other? And if someone is banned without giving a reason, can a reason be added afterwards in the Airio banlist?

It should be simple, really, clean install and then see if it works. If it does, start putting your textures etc back in, if it doesn't then dunno

Would it be possible to implement a positions list for autocross/open layouts, which updates on crossing of splits, rather than real time? The positions list is quite important, and would make everything a lot easier in autocross/open tracks.

Quote from NSX_FReeDoM :

What are some good tracks and cars to purchase?

I got my D-license and I am interested in buying three cars/tracks. I haven't got Skip Barber and I heard it's a must-have. So what else should i get?

Skip Barber is the most popular non-Rookie series, so it's a must have tbh, you always get a race and it's good for learning. Tracks, well Zandvoort is used twice, and Watkins Glen and Spa are used in most road schedules - all are great tracks imo.

Indeed, GTR number plates should be on skins, but that's a different matter altogether.

Would be interesting if we were able to place braking marker boards as autocross objects, for those corners where the boards have been removed.

Already been done by PMD

Yeah, that was fixed for the Rallycross Long Alternative route, will fix it for F21.

There's been changes made to some layouts while we've been using it for NDR.Z30 Racing, and we also added a couple of more tracks - F25, F26, K21 - so we'll be updating the pack and images soon

Quote from EliteAti :

Getting JOOS - OBJ all the time on open configs. No vobs no nothing extra installed in my LFS.

I wasn't changing the layout, honest guv

Well you haven't done a race yet, so I suggest you do some Legends and MX-5 races (especially with Okayama coming out very soon) to try out both oval and road, and then once you get your SR to Rookie 3.0 you can use the Street Stock, Solstice and also the Spec Racer Ford all without spending any money.

You should also check out the series overview for road and oval in the reference section, but for road the Skippy is a must tbh as the most used non-rookie car, and also the fact it's good trainer car. After that it's a case of whatever you want to do.

Quote from popps258 :

It really needs updating with some new cars and new tracks, And yes a second new oval !!!
I live in hope, but will be in my grave probably before you add these real updates....
Old man Popps

I'm sure the Devs will agree with me when I say that if you want oval racing then LFS isn't exactly the best option for you... iRacing if you want ovals

Quote from Bmxtwins :

scawen what about those with ball mouses and not scroll , we cant zoom out in layout edit mode

You can however change the FOV with 4/5/6/7, and change height with control + up/down.

As for F9 Spicey, it's been antialiased.
