You too if you should ever make the same decision

You have to write if version X or X10, X9 or something is running because there was a bug which could explain der server crash

Come down guys :-D where is the problem. Think about some points

1. You have to drive a race with pit stops wich isn´t so often on public servers
2. On a closed or league race you can´t use that bug
3. If you start earlier and then use that bug you win NO time or nearly no time.
4. Good drivers won´t use such a stupid bug

Thats really no bug to worry much about. But it should indeed be fixed before patch Y.
With 3-5 more found.

mod, cheat, addon, bug, exploit; a cheat has many names :-D

Never. Think about it: If you drive over the line, drive backwards and again in. You loose maybe 3-5 seconds (thats a very high calculation) and then you make your pit stop.
If you do it with two steps you loose on as1 maybe nearly the same time in the pit lane (also more I think) but you have to add braking before and the slower speed after the pit lane. You win much time on every track

I don´t think there is a track where it isn´t faster to use this bug

Where is a update? I thought I can watch a video with showing the whole car now :-P
Or do you have to upgrade your computer first?

Quote from AndroidXP :

Yes it is a bug, changing your ingame name should not make you lose qualifying positions. Saying it doesn't make sense to change names between qualy and race doesn't make this any less of a bug. That would be like saying that getting shot into the air in a crash is not really a bug, because why would you want to crash? (noob! :-Þ)

LOL Nice example

Thats very useful thanks

Hmm I answered yesterday but it seems I forgot to send :-D

I started the last days playing with new things and thinking how I make it. But I have still not enough time because the end of my study time (I hope ) and much to do.
The plan is to have a gui and a console and this on all platforms (windows,unix,mac (if I can compile it)). But for this I have to re-write many parts of the program. So there will be some time since a new version will come, but I think I can say it will definitely come

The worry of the drivers with those posts is, that most or nearly all hosts are going to use this option.
In my opinion that worry isn´t without a reason. The admins or the team maybe drive in cockpit view and see the point realism, so they use this option.
But they don´t think far enough to see that it´s only a public host and there are many drivers playing since years with 3rd or other views.
This option should only be used in leagues or special servers.

Oh I was translated two times, I´m a genius I understood both :-D

Scawen knows about the bug and a new dedi server will come out within the next days I think. Only read it in the developer forum part so I don´t know more then others :-D

yes, but this has not really much todo with the problem here

There won´t be to much surprise coming with this patch I highly guess so keep cool

Quote from Scawen :

Just in case anyone is concerned about this and which way it will go, I am quite convinced that hotlappers should be able to set the start position and the tyre temperatures. It would stop this messing around doing donuts and whatever before doing the hotlap. This decision is based on the opinions of the actual hotlappers, those guys who really do a lot of this, they want it that way, so it's more convenient to do the hot lap. They want to spend more time lapping and less time warming up the tyres. This is different from reality, that's true, but then LFS differs from reality in many ways, for convenience. For example we just appear on the grid, we don't have to drive to the race track - you know what I mean. If you want reality then just go racing in reality! If you want a sim then you are avoiding many of the problems of reality, and cutting it down to the actual racing. That's the purpose of a racing sim. Get in and RACE. Similarly the purpose of hotlapping is to get in and LAP!

Why do you continue to discuss if you don´t have to write a new point?

If I read the amount of bugs still there it would be better patch X won´t come out today

Quote from CLRS530 :

Whats with a lifetime from LFS or/and from a InSim program and how can a player stop a button and all button?

I'm not sure what you mean about the lifetime from LFS bit. But my current intention is to have a key probably SHIFT+I that can do two things - (1) if there are no buttons on screen - send a simple message to the hosts's InSim meaning "I want some info" and (2) if you already have InSim buttons on screen, it would clear them all. So it would work like a toggle.

Hmm, could it be that you mostly don´t understand what I mean :/ We are definitely not on one writing-level

With lifetime I mean how long the buttons stay until they dissapear (automatic SHIFT + I). If you plan to have such a lifetime.
The other question was if it would be good to let us decide how long the buttons should appear.
It´s only an idea, I don´t use this interface (in the near future)

Whats with a lifetime from LFS or/and from a InSim program and how can a player stop a button and all button?

AndroidXP is right wich sense then would make a x,y coordinate?

@nikka
yes, but you shouldn´t need it if you play singleplayer, only in lan it could cause problems.

Visit the website http://www.vrl-simracing.be/lfsreport/ (or context menu of Live for Stats -> LFS Report (second one)

But before you have to upload the xml file anywhere and put the link to this page. A Second chance would be to use a local webserver like you can do it easily with xampp.
But I have to agree both solutions aren´t very good if you are only a LFS player who want to see his times.
On the other hand xampp is very good and I use it often

the currently last official release W
And beta patch W8

The programmers part was mostly a clean one yet, but if Scawen makes a post wich is something new to the community there are again "thx" "YAAAY" and asks wich helps no one....

You have to wait for patch Y, patch X won´t bring those changes. Scawen made a post some time before, but I don´t want to search it now

Sure you can.
Only start it and play the replay (up to 16x speed you can go on most machines)

BTW
if someone wants to make it fit for InSim V4 so maybe only change from UDP to TCP you can take the source code wich is availible under GPL. The code is well organized and good documented.
I would upload it to my site and sourceforge surely with write out the author :P
I write that because many want to use a tool and asked for sources from LFS Stats.
Also a self output for a html file can be integrated (maybe convert LFS report from php here to c/c++)

Thats not a word of dropping the project, I will continue on time
