Thanks lads that thread is all I need and the good news is the complete 16 car grid can be implemented easily into the existing layout for online use.

I can also see a few large areas that have not been used that can be implemented into the layout, what I need to do is try and balance the two halves of track time wise so the leaders of both groups come around to cross the finish line around the same time giving both groups an idea during the race of how everyone is doing.

A 4 Lap race would be 2 complete Curcuits of the track as the finish line is stretched across the 2 lanes AKA WRC Format

Will sort it out over the weekend and repost.

Quote from wheel4hummer :You must utilize the starting positions of the car park.

Cheers wheel4hummer, but how do you know where the second car will be positioned as I cannot see a way to do this as AI cannot be used.

I beleive in BL3 the grid goes sideways but there seems no way to evaluate the spacing to enable me to judge where to place the barriers

Anyone have any Ideas ?

There's Blue tyres on most of the apex's so you can see them quite early on, after 3 or 4 laps once you know where the track goes it does start to flow, also edit as you see fit for your own use

Be careful of hitting blue tyres as there's a 2 sec penalty.

I was using the RB4 testing this track and run a 1:44 with a split of 1:00 min but that was after only 10 or so laps as I finished it very late last night.

Does anyone know how you can have 2 cars compete ?

Its easily balanced by restricting air intake by a couple of percent

And I believe any restrictions can be checked by using F12 so we even have scruteneering

Paul I thought this Championship is to find the best all round team now matter what combo is thrown at us and your only talking about one round from many, the fact you personally do not like rear wheel drive has no bearing on the championship - choose another driver I'm sure there's another driver from your team that loves to drive RW's in fact I would say your probably in a top 5 Team

I would go with Sidi's Idea and leave it for the teams to come up with thier best drivers for that rounds combo.

So +1 for this

The problem was the 3rd corner of the esses complex as the fox's needed to use the whole road to navigate successfully IE start wide - hit apex - run wide, the FO8's would dive in an pinch the apex causing the Fox driver to run wide onto the grass, happened to me twice causing me to spin twice, so after that I had to go defensive through there to stop the FO8's passing at that spot, Remember the FOX has right to racing line and it is the onus of the FO8 driver to make a clean pass, so sorry if I held you up as I stated over on the GF Forum it was a case of self preservation.

Also R4R seem to specialise in single seaters but again they will need to get to know you.

Damn Beaten to the Punch

I think he means other Fox's taking advantage of a situation when FO8's are lapping a group of Fox's, but thats part of the skill of racing if you watch Le man series or the GTR Duel Class series it is seen as a bonafied opertunity to pass your class peers in this situation, if you left the door open thats your concern but if the pass was dangerous then use the report system and the relevant decision will be made.

The Devs wiil possibly work out a price that will give them the optimum profit which IMO would be around the £24 mark for the current full version.

This is cheap for Europe, the right price for the US and other world countries mabe viewed as slightly expensive and even at this price possibly to expensive for some.

I cannot see the Devs charging for S2 content when S3 eventually comes out but I can see the Devs Reorganising it to £12 for S1 and Another £12 to upgrade to S3 (Full Version) keeping the Price structure very close to what we have today but the eventual figures will be dependant on what is included in S3.

And as I say this Sony drop the Price of the PS3 By $100 to £250 ($499) in the US but still charge Europe £425 Madness

I voted yes to keep it simply because it's an option

The server providers may wish to use it which I have no problem with, whether the servers using this option become popular is to be proved but IMO probably not.

Personally I use the wheel view now, but when I first brought S2 I used cockpit view all the time, then I read that wheel view gives you more FPS and as I only had Onboard graphics at the time I found this very helpfull and have now got used to wheel view.

Now the problem seems to be that Scawen has forced this view in the LX competition which has undoubtedly alienated a big percentage of the community as any LFS'er that does not use cockpit view as their first choice has to relearn how to drive again from the new perspective which takes time and practice.

I found even though I used to race all the time in cockpit view as recently as 3 months ago switching back from wheel view to cockpit view has been virtually impossible and having a family with a job to hold down I just don't have the time to relearn driving from a new perspective and try to compete with the times that are being posted (Kudos to you all - Bloody Aliens )

Now don't get me wrong in no way am I bitter or even upset at this but if you normally play LFS from cockpit view then your lucky as you have a massive advantage over those that do not use this view.

I just hope Scawen thinks a little more in the future as it looks like he has pissed off quite a large chunk of the community by implementing this view into the LX competition.

From my experience racing in LFS it does not matter what view or input device or pc setup you have as with practice any combination can compete with the other and that's one of the great things about LFS.

So I am going to concentrate on winning races while all you Aliens are preoccupied for the next 3 weeks

Yes it is Practice, Practice and more Practice and with the Number of laps you say your laying down you certainly have the dedication.

If your driving the fox jump on the GFC (Gentlefoot) server as FE Gold is a relatively easy track with enough technicalities to enable you to learn and I sure you will recieve the help and Setups you require as some of the racers are very fast and experienced within this championship.

Your lap times will come down depending on setup and your driving style, so it's trial and error and over time and watching and learning from others you will I'm sure get your lap times down and become more consistant.
