Yes, but it sounds a little ambitious for such a small problem. It is primarily the clicking which is the problem.

The problem is that there is no support for touch events..

<img id="hosts_icon" src="desktop_images/icons/32px/hosts.gif" alt="" title="Who is online and where can I race" onmousedown="startPos('hosts', true);" onmouseup="stopPos (true);" ondblclick="winActivate ('hosts');" height="32" border="0" width="32">

Not sure if a

ontouch="winActivate ('hosts');"

and/or
ontouchend="winActivate ('hosts');"

would do the trick but I think it will.

Quote from Flame CZE :
Oddly enough, all of them use left-hand traffic, I wonder if the devs chose them deliberately Cool

I bet the next 'world' is some fictional location @Australia. Then this racist LHD thing is complete. Frown

Quote from gigapouch :After all, the majority of the world drives on the right side.

Eehh no.. It's optical illusion;

Quote from simon1234 :I deleted all my blackwood pb's soon after the update is there any news if the online details will be reset. As at the minute im obviously getting false % off wr on lfs world.

Hotlaps and therefore automatically all world records have been removed from lfsworld when new Blackwood came out so not sure what you are talking about. Airio clean laps maybe and support for custom car classes (FZ2, FX2 etc), but like I said before, support for Airio has ended (years ago) so no news to be expected from that. InSim makers have the opportunity to develop their own race tracker in the time that Airio still is operational and getting crippled as time passes.

Eehh yes? Every NCN packet has a PName as well;

struct IS_NCN // New ConN
{
byte Size; // 56
byte Type; // ISP_NCN
byte ReqI; // 0 unless this is a reply to a TINY_NCN request
byte UCID; // new connection's unique id (0 = host)

char UName[24]; // username
char PName[24]; // nickname

byte Admin; // 1 if admin
byte Total; // number of connections including host
byte Flags; // bit 2 : remote
byte Sp3;
};

It's a S2 server so you need to download this for a start; https://www.lfs.net/shop

I think such a sophisticated high frequency method is only needed for yourself, not for the other cars around the track. But I can be wrong, not my technical knowledge, just a guess.

40 is enough for racing, otherwise you get stuff like what happened on Bathurst last weekend with 50+ cars. More a parade then quality racing and every X minutes a safety car (zzz...). I do agree that for open layout it should/could be massivly more. Like 128 for example. But that is a lot of work, Scawen explained this earlier, it's not just simply increasing a number. And as always; "first, tire physics"..

Quote from Scawen :I was discussing with Geraldine... we reckon when the Scirocco comes out there will be all these posts like "WTF, it's just a medium powered FWD! Why have the devs been hyping this up for all these years?". Big grin

Well, it's not specifically the car, it's the fact that you stopped almost everything because of that car. "We" can't move on if someone says all the time "yes but first; tire physics". If it ever would be released it's a milestone not because of this car but all the other stuff which is worth attention and then actually having potential to receive this attention.

go start -> run... type services.msc and hit [enter] on your keyboard, search for Windows Firewall in that list, turn off (stop) completely for a moment. (click on entry -> stop button).

then unlock and see if you can succeed.

Sound like a firewall/router problem. Press UDP button in N-list. It's not a perfect fix but it is the quickest.

Quote from SimulatorRental.com :having some BIG billboards would be nice for events.

BIG doesn't automatically mean it gets more easily noticed. Sometimes BIG works counterproductive.

But American thinking, I understandz.

Paypal is also possible yes (in Germany, not sure if this method works in every country);

Quote :Geld einzahlen bei Paypal - Paypal-Konto per Banküberweisung aufladen

Um Geld von Ihrem bestätigten Konto auf Ihr PayPal-Konto zu überweisen, klicken Sie im Bereich "E-Börse" auf den Link "Geld einzahlen".

Auf der neuen Seite finden Sie die Kontodaten von PayPal: Zahlungsempfänger ist dabei immer PayPal Pte. Ltd.; die Bank JP Morgan, die Bankleitzahl 501 108 00. Kontonummer/IBAN und Verwendungszweck (eine Zahlen-/Buchstabenkombination) werden jeweils pro PayPal-Nutzer individuell vergeben.

Nun können Sie Ihr Paypal-Guthaben aufladen. Überweisen Sie einfach den gewünschten Betrag von Ihrem Bankkonto auf Ihr PayPal-Konto; es sind allerdings nur Überweisungen in Euro möglich. Der Betrag wird nach ein bis zwei Tagen Ihrem PayPal-Konto gutgeschrieben

But first transaction is not free in comparison with Skrill.

Quote from Adester :Thanks for the quick replies.

Credit Cards or PayPal aren't an option for me. i guess i will stay at S2.

But read carefully, it already was mentioned;

Money for such an expensive laptop even I don't want to buy and then unable to buy a license for a lousy 18 pounds. Or maybe it's also a stolen laptop, I wouldn't be surprised.

Yes Smile

But I hope the InSim system gets more advanced at some point where you need to make so many changes (button colors/ text colors for example) that it gets too much of a burden to support backward compatibility. You warn about that in this particular thread (I sort of hope people can read it). Last year there was not so good replacement for race trackers, but LFSTop and KingTracker (PHP => I like) are making it's way to my surprise. These initiatives get more advanced if usage would increase, so lets see. It only increases if LFS racing increases, hopefully you dev guys can make some more steps this year towards that goal.

It already was on dead sentence last year; https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1902633#post1902633

But new initiatives popped up since, which is good.

Airio is an InSim and is for many years not supported anymore and will not get 'fixed'. It has also nothing to do with this LFS update. You can leave your comments here => https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/52368-AIRIO---Advanced-LFS-Tracker but don't expect any answer because this [fix this or else!] attitude was one of the reasons to not continuing this project to begin with.

--
Although I have to add that it will fix itself as new WR hotlaps are appearing. I am not going to explain here how the system works. 1) It's the wrong thread and 2) there is too much arrogance.

It's not invented to protect the grass is it. Most of the situations I can understand why it's there but I agree with this other person that it doesn't need to be a sausage fest on every other new or updated LFS world.

(Like the famous KY3 chicane for example).

You might be right.. I thought this patch had .VOB files included but I now realize only the DCon zip has this... :/

No.. But I will send an email later this week with server log to LFS dev team so they can see for themselves how bad it is. Can't post it here. Too many IP addresses.

I wonder why, on demo ... On test patches and now also with 0.6R there is this massive amount of JOOS - CAR connections again. Unbelievable. And loads of them keep retrying as they don't seem to understand they can't connect to a pure server with their bloated LFS install.. Meh.

It's not the holy grail, but I think the dev team realizes that themselves also. But it is a good start of the year. Hopefully demo usage increases a bit so I can rewrite my InSim camera control functionality, for the last and final season of CityLiga which is going to start in two weeks. After that, it is also understandingly stopped.
