Aonio and Airio are 2 separate things. Airio is a server side app that you only use if you're running your own server. Aonio is client side for when you want to race on any server. Don't try to use them both for racing on other servers.

I'm a hop, skip, and a jump away down in Reading.

Wait a minute, I just noticed your location there Gil. Are you really up in Allentown?!?!?

You've got waaaay too much time Dan. You better be putting that to good use coming up with another series. :chair::haha:

I nominate Gil for the Rusty Screw. Not only did he have to pit from a tremendous lead for some fuel, the dubious LFS physics then decided to send him onto his roof after a minor tap in the dirt.

That sucks Sho. Hopefully Dan will come up with something good for the next series and you'll be able to make those.

Yeah Dan, I felt I had enough momentum to get past Boothy before the line, but as you say it's hard to tell, that's why I didn't worry about any kind of official protest. I was content to let it stand as it was, especially since these last few races I've only been concentrating on finishing the race to grab points and keep that championship lead. After next week I should have that championship locked up just by finishing the 2 races.

I was a bit disappointed that boothy decided to bump me to block me on the last lap there after his last turn incident. It was very obvious I had more than enough of a run on him to easily pass him before the line, but I won't really protest it much as I still managed to extend my lead for the series championship and pretty much have it all wrapped up at this point.

Damn man, if it didn't have the 1 in front it would be a WR shattering time, by almost 1 min. Besides, you still might be screwed, I never touched the walls doing that, the rubber ducky track is one of my favorites.

My pb from a quick 5 laps of practice last week was a 55.2.

Yeah, I had no problem with that either Jonathan. I'd rather see a driver try to be considerate to others by pulling off like that than run around the track with bad damage and possibly causing an accident. And points are points, if you're badly damaged you'd have been in last place anyway if you tried to limp around, so you basically only held position while making sure not to cause any incidents. Think you did the right thing.

Don't know if it's related to this or not, but I've noticed the digital speedometer in Aonio is 1-2mph lower than what LFS reports when in a car with digital speedometer, i.e. FOX.

Keep in mind that the master host server is going down tonight about 7pm est and won't be back online until around 4am est Wed. morning. If things don't go well with the move we might not be able to get online to do our Wed. night race.

Yes, the DT in a short race is really a killer as you're pretty much guaranteed not to win at that point. As for adding in a required pit stop on top of a DT, that might be a bit too much, even during an hour long event. Then again it might not make a difference since all cars would have to do the pit stop.

As for when the DT should happen, that would be dependant on if you impose a restriction on when the DT needs to be served. If you allow the driver to serve the DT whenever they want before the last lap, then I think it could be handed out at any time. If you make them serve it within say 3 laps of receiving the DT then you'd want it a bit earlier to allow them the opportunity to make up that lost time by having more laps available.

As you pointed out, a good grid position is essential with this start. A randomized grid can be very handy in helping to even out the field for the first few laps, but then if the DT is early again like it was during testing then the advantage would go to the fast driver that had a crappy grid spot and was stuck behind traffic for the first 1/3 of the race. I'd say do a qual and let the faster guys have fun trying to wreck themselves and screw up intentionally to keep from getting the DT.

Oh god, might as well just do a demo derby and get it over with.

And I wasn't really paying attention to your times Sho, just was curious who the other person was that Lapper had recorded times for.

Hope you guys get some practice in, was just on the server and about 30 seconds faster than Sho.

Next series idea!!

LOL, I don't remember you trying to take me out.

If you don't win the skin competition I think you should at least get honorable mention for best bumper sticker.

Figured it out with the help of another Aonio users, seems the car I was in doesn't have a shift light so it doesn't give the shift sound. Nothing major really.

Does the sounds only happen during a race? Was testing out some sounds during a qual session and never heard the shift indicator. Didn't have anyone else there on track with me to test other sounds yet, that'll happen later tonight.

What times are you doing Dan, I can tell you if you're not pushing enough.

Someone's gotta rattle your chain to keep you on your toes.

I think we need more laps again, at 9 laps this will only be 18min races.

LOL, now I can say I got screwed twice with one race.
