Shouldn't this be in the test patch forum, since it's about a test patch feature?

I think they might be looking for starting grids and DNFs due to disconnects and whatnot, which are not included in LFSWorld.

Quote from Scawen :

The thing is, it's maybe not that bad an idea to "open the windows" a tiny bit just so it sounds "better". Someone here mentioned they did that in their road car on the track and I sometimes open them a crack too on the road, just to hear more because the exhaust is SO quiet with all the windows shut.

Maybe we need open windows as part of the setup!

But if you set the windows to open, wouldn't you also get more aerodynamic drag?

Definitely interested, but do try to schedule events on different weekends than the STCC.

i hope you dont mind that i remote upped it to some mirrors
maybe it will bring you a bit less traffic

this one was fast for me

IIRC, she wanted to get accurate counts of download numbers this time, so it would probably be better to not set up any mirrors yet.

Quote from N I K I :

I can see this is going no where and I'm very sad becouse of it

It's not the first time this same idea has gone nowhere. Not by a long shot. It's failing now for the same reasons it's always done so before. No matter how many polls and suggestions you make there's always going to be people who don't agree with a name.

The only way corners are going to be "named" is through shared experiences that compel drivers to use certain names to facilitate communication. A prominent landmark that can be used as a common reference point. (Monaco's swimming pool complex) Street names on a street circuit. Memorable elements in a corner. (Nurburgring's Carousel) An official name supplied by the circuit owner. Trying to build it by "community" effort will fail because the racing community is a lot bigger than the group who actively participates in the forums.

I see one major but hopefully easily fixed problem with this calendar. It's not viewable if you're not logged in. It would be more helpful to growth of the community if the casual guest users were able to see the LFS league activity at a glance.

To promote this new feature, could its link be put in a brighter color to stand out in the navigation bar?

I use twin overclocked 7800GT 256mb's, but a lot of people commented on raged edges this round, i'm wondering if I didn't have the correct AA/AF settings when I recorded it, perhaps because I had been playing another game.

That might be it. The video looks really smooth during the Redman/Horvath clip at the beginning. Sometime later on it seems as if the AA/AF was turned off. The difference is very noticeable when you compare Redman's in-car shot to the in-car track preview with Victor.

What resolution is the raw video? The HQ version looks like it was upsampled from 640x480.

Quote from Becky Rose :

You're not the first to say you wont be there, but I am beginning to worry it'll be a no show *shakes in fear*... Hopefully SOMEBODY will show !

You still have lots of us standbys raring to go in the waiting list!

What I'd like to know is why everyone seems to be taking this at face value. How can you even include demo racers with any hope for accuracy when they come and go as well as being able to change names? If you're counting them from the beginning, are you double counting the licensed users that were also demo racers?

Quote from NetDemon01 :

And what's so bad about spam and off-topicness? We can't discuss LFS 24/7. There ARE other things in life

You're right, and there is an Off Topic forum for that. http://www.lfsforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=42

Hey Becky, just wondering if you were able to get my entry form in the PM I sent you.

Only thing I don't like is the 3 week wait until the next event. Are you guys considering broadcasting and commentating on other leagues?

Is this audio only or video too?

The video feed works great! I'll definitely tune in to the next broadcast.

Quote from harlen :

i hate it when people jump to conclusions to me and my fellow demo racers. they say we drive bad because we havent bought a license. some people dont have the money for a license do they play demo, which is great fun anyway.

Congratulations on getting a license!

If I may make a hopefully small, compatible request, would it be possible to have a private server option to control access with a whitelist instead of a password? Basically a text file of LFS account names that the server checks before allowing someone to join. It could make league management smoother as well as preventing password leaks.

Quote from Turb0 :

how about an option to change tyre types when you pit before the race(in garage menus) like you can do with fuel?

In multiplayer games, you can change your tyre type before you pit with the F12 menu. Scroll up and down with the arrow keys and select type with left and right.

I think the impasse here is that FILSCA is waiting for a coder to come up to them, commit to the project, and do it behind closed doors. Meanwhile the LFS community is waiting for FILSCA to make the technical requirements public so the coders can "swarm" around it until someone sticks with it long enough to complete it.

Quote from Becky Rose :

Tell me about it, I spent two hours so far dialing oversteer out and have reached the conclusion that the best solution is to drive ruddy slow!

Isn't the safety car normally slower than the race cars? Like the UF1, XFG, or XRG?

Instead of raging about it here and making yourself look silly, maybe it would be more effective to complain about this in a place where he would be more likely to see it, such as leaving a comment on those videos?

All this skin drama nonsense is getting on my nerves. If you don't like someone using your skin, take it up with them privately.

At what time of day will these races be held? Will it be weekend or weekday?

Quote from wheel4hummer :

We really need more people in the north american division. A race of eleven cars would be boring!

Really? Were all the S1 league races boring then? :P

Please, XRR only. Including others will only mean it will be used less. That car doesn't get enough attention.
