Quote from maczo :

OK, but I'm still a bit confused. Can I leave the rally and continue later? I joined the LFS US Rally, DNF'ed stage 1, repaired my car and left the game. When I ran the game again, I don't see this rally anymore. What am I doing wrong?

you cant leave the game...

i dont lift over SMALL bumps, but over bigger ones (where i KNOW it will jump) i do lift off. But i get this problem also in france, there are no jumps. And i change gear before the red light comes on

lol i wont finish any rally it seems.

this time it wasnt totally my fault tho - as usually, there comes problems for me on 2nd stage - engine lost all power 2km to stage end (without me hitting anything, water temp was ok). Then i had to drive the whole other stage with this weak engine, lost 1 minute and with that all motivation, so on another stage it was crash.

can anybody explain me, why does me engine go kaput on every a bit longer stage and other people dont have such problem?!

@spankmeye> time to create a new tournament? france or whats next? i`d like to finish some rally finally

i should do something with myself..i ALWAYS crash in the 2nd stage of the rally. This time it was just roll over roof at minimum speed, but i must have hit a stone or something, because i lost brakes ...so driving without brakes didnt go too well and i ended in a tree.

im worse than solberg in his beginning

i used to play this game with mate in splitscreen some 5 or more years ago, great fun. AFAIk there was never released the full version...

please turn on the splits - by looking at them you know if your pace is good or not. IRL they also get split times in car. And people who get distracted by them can turn them off in their RBR options (iirc)

i drove some USA stage and there it happend also, near the finish line (so i stopped the car and went to wrong way for a while to show you how slow it goes). Check out the replay

i am really curious what causes the sudden power loss, beucase i really didnt hit anything. in the service park i had to fix "head gaskets" (iirc) and then the engine worked

@Vain> as i said, i drove very carefully thru the pirka menoko stage, but just such a small mistake had catastrophic result. after that, i had no motivation to drive carefully, so i just went flatout

so, joined the rally japan tournament:

stage 1 - Tanner
i hate this stage, worst stage in rbr. the rain didnt help it and i couldnt see the road very well. but i finished without any big mistake

stage 2 - Pirka Menoko (or whatever)
i dont know this track at all, drove it few months ago last time, so i didnt remember any bit of it. Was driving very carefully and when braking into some turn i went offroad and hit a tree in very low speed - gearbox broken and stuck in 1st gear, when trying to return on the track engine stalled - and as you know, its impossible to start it again if you aint in N gear. so i had to retire

stage 4 - Noikker
i knew i had no chance to win the tournament anymore as i was carrying penalty for not finish 2 stages, so i just wanted to push as much as i could..it went really well, had 18seconds lead to Vain after few kilometers, but then 6km to finish the engine sudennly lost all power (and i didnt hit anything, temperature was ok) it had really bad sound and accelerated very badly, hardly reached 90 km/h...

stage 5 - Tanner 2
had to drive this whole stage with the broken engine from last stage, as there was no service park

stage 6 - Noikker 2
went flatout and close to startline there was some bump in road which catapulted me in trees. engine kaput.

so, great rally for me (again)

till the tournament thingy goes online, i suggest...lets all hotlap on one stage i suggest chirdonhead, imho that is the best stage in rbr.

imho its just that "noobs" like the bling bling design of softwares - metal, bevel, many sounds, button gets "pressed" when you click on it, everything is animated, sparks, lens flare, glow, bloom, while "pros" are more happy with the simplest design, without any special effects. I dont know about 1 thing in lfs menus which could make it look arcadish.

and on topic:
august 2006: installed rfactor, tried few mods (vw lupo, pcc, megane, lienz, nurbirging),
august 2006:uninstalled.
X
september 2002: unpacked lfs

Time to break out RBROnline and compete... online... against each other in real time

do they still organize some free races?

WRC cameraman / photographer illepall

it must be really cool job - you get to travel around the world and watch all the rally action

i dont see the tournament in the list anymore - but i think i should be able to rejoin it only if i leave the tournament after finishing the stage, not during it by pressing alt+f4

ARGH crashed 2 times -> got angry -> ALT+F4

i guess i should drive more carefully

Quote from Vain :

2. I wasn't pushing at all. I went well below my normal pace when I noticed that something was wrong about the grip. I have no problems getting the car around the track in the rain with tyres for dry road. I just can't see what was wrong.

do you think that the physics magically changed just for that one turn? cmon

do you have replay so we could take a look?

Quote from AndroidXP :

What the heck? I just tried to make a run in LFS RBR Challenge I, but just after stage 2 was completed RBR crashed. Now I cannot even find it in the list of tournaments anymore.

I hope I didn't break it for others?

E: Ah ok, finally it shows up as "Did not start to SS 3"
Damnit...

once you leave the tournament, you cant join it anymore

Quote from Vain :

The modless tournament is open now. I'll do it this evening.

That tournament didnt go well at all for me. In 1st stage (which i really hate) i went a bit offroad over some bumps and the steering was damaged, so getting the car to finish was a bit tricky. On the second stage i hit a spectators and a bit later i hit a stone and got stuck in 2nd gear - but engine stalled and i couldnt start anymore (because to start the engine you need to be in N gear)

i like it, but where is the codriver?

did you have camera smoothing turned on? the camera is very unsmooth

oh, i forgot to mention it is ONLY for group N cars and A6 cars (super1600)

theoretically you should download the car:

and the physics for the car:

but i cant promise it will work, its quite random apparently

another tournament for lfs people, this time by tommy_v

Kid, your page seems down forever, may I host that page for you? I mean, I have saved most of the pics somewhere on my disk, just need to find them.

The westhill is just temporarily hosted there, till kid wakes up and replaces the link with pic hosted at my ftp (like the rest of planets)
