I'd like to point out that there is a search function on the setupfield, with which you can search for keywords (what else? ), entering race or long or similar words will pop up a couple of results.
when uploading a setup, the uploader can decide whether it is a race, a hotlap a drag a drift or a whatever setup, although this is not always used.
You are right that a one button categorisation would be a good feature, but as long as the uploaders don't select the appropriate setup definition this isn't of much use, so the best for you would be to use the search function.
As always, suggestions are welcome, drop a post in our forums or write an email to me (csur at liveforspeed dot hu).
as for my votes:
Site: I don't browse any that much, so I would say the LFS Forum Team: I would say Muroc, as I race with them in the STCC and they are a nice bunch of guys League: STCC for the broadcast and the professional approach in rules and stewarding Person: can't name all of them Apps: I used lfs spectator recently, but the only really useful app I ever found was the analyser for speed
I believe Kimi is the favourite, however this season might resemble those days when the williams was the best car, but somehow they didn't manage to scoop the title easily, like with Damon Hill and JAcques, because Schumi was there fighting and causing trouble (in a good sense I mean, except for Jerez 1997). Kimi will need some time to fit in, I think Alonso will be better at the start, might adapt easier, he might be able to build up a small lead in the championship, but eventually Kimi will turn things over and if the car won't fail him, he will be the champion.
and xaotik your avatar is cool, nice idea, although the country flag is a question mark here, whereas in your avatar it is more like a big dot, isn't it?
hehe, I actually happened to practise for this race a "couple of laps" to create a fast and easy to drive setup (around 150 laps I think) and I had quite a lot of laps in this track from S1 times still with all 3 TBO cars.
oh, nice I thought you messed up the terms, happens to some you know
well then i can fully understand you, I wouldn'T notice much difference between 4x and 16x either, but I wouldn'T go above 4x anyways, no need for that
well you must have one hell of a GFX card if you can run 16xAA
AA is anti aliasing, AF is anisotropic filtering, with my x1900 gt I can set max 6x AA and max 16x AF.
if you mean compared to 4xAF 16xAF doesn't bring much of a difference but fps drop I can understand that (although I am not sure what does AA and what does AF with the graphics), try to use AA as well to see the difference visually. If you can'T see any difference between no AA and no AF and 4xAA and 16x AF something must be wrong with your settings. maybe they don'T work at all, I had that before and it turned out I was using the wrong tool.
were you actually in the race? have you joined the session? because unless you have a car and thus a setup assigned there is nothing LFS could send the other guys. I believe that is why there was no button for it either.
yes, I thought it was a lot of time, but you could just do a comparison with a 30 sec or 1 minute clip to see if there is any significant difference or not and consider later if it would be worth the extra time at all.
well your system should be more than enough to get decent quality videos.
there are quite a lot video makers in our hungarian forums and the experienced ones suggested recording at lower speeds (0.25 gives the best frames, but 0.5 would also do I guess) to avoid the real time fullscreen fps problems. Also you should succeed with 32 bit this way as well. worth a try I guess
when doing the editing you just need to speed up the playback to get real time speed. this will result in a lot smoother playback, also with the new patch slower playback will also produce good sounds, so there is really no drawback here, except for the more time consumed capturing the scene.
what is 1337? and what does leet mean at all? and what is a fair bit? I consider below 4xAA and 16xAF is still to ragged. if Becky's video card can't take more then let's get a good cause up to get a decent GFX card for her
great video, commentary was the best so far (sorry Mike and Tristan , I hope you are going to even better this with round 4 ) due to the thing someone mentioned before that Becky managed to show some real enthusiasm for the actions on the track, was very lively.
The radio sounds were funny when I first heared them, but they are a good addition as were the sounds from the start/finish straight camera angle.
Becky I was wondering if you used any AA and AF when recording, because the edges seemed too ragged in the video, also a try with XviD would be worthwile, it should be possible to improve the quality of the video further.
looking forward to the next release as I will probably feature in it a little more than in this one
yea, there seems to be a general problem with the server, as no other server related hungarian LFS sites are working.
should be fixed this evening, hopefully.
