It really depresses me to read such blind tosh!
In principle nkp is a great sim. In fact I bought it after 2 laps of the demo. But the dev(s) are public relations idiots.
I've just deleted a 20minute rant because it's all so pointless.
Daft thing is, I keep checking that forum in the faint hope that something HAS happened.
Oh and a 17km hillclimb-online. How good is that going to be. Go on server, wait 20 minutes for your turn, crash on turn 4, go home.
I'm off to slash my wrists.
Ping in connection list

Given the frequency of multi disconnects caused, apparently, by one person lagging badly, how difficult would it be to have players pings in the connection list. You could then see at a glance who the likely culprit is and take whatever action is deemed necessary. While we're at it, how about a server option of not allowing pings over xxx?

Quote from a n d 1 :People! Why dont u get it that this is a testpatch forum and u should only post something if u found a bug or have a crash? This thread is just getting way to big.

Indeed. Needs a cull.
Quote from a n d 1 :
my first cent and now the second...
I have a very strange bug and couldnt find a post about this (maybe because the thread is full of ****)!

So when i start a Qualification i start in the Pits, that is actually fine but I have a message (False Start - sent to Spec).

best regards

Seconded. Restarting a qualifying session is the same. i.e. you can be on track and instead of 'respawning' on track you're sent to spectate and get the message. You then have to select 'join'

Viewsonic VG2230wm. Absolutely delighted with it. Nice crisp colours etc. I can't fault it. Price was good too. £270 incl vat. from scan.com

EDIT: Just noticed you're from Canada so that link isn't ideal.

Quote from flinty72 :Scawen, I have noticed pop-ups since V5. Not sure if it is related to the changes in the test patches or my PC as I have had pop-ups previously but not this bad.
Seen them at South City, light poles, tress and some signs. Also at Westhill but was just one thing the white lines on the road near pit entry/exit.

It's not just me then. Fences along the back straight and the pitwall on Westhill take up all my attention these days . Haven't checked other tracks. nVidia 8800GXT, 22" lcd 1680x1050
EDIT: FOV usually in the 60-65degrees range

.....Have you tried the new sound engine and DaveWS's sound pack? If not, then shut up. If yes, then get a hearing test

I've watched your developement over the years and I have to say you're coming along nicely

It's more than very nice, it's first class! Now set about the rest of the cars. Oh, and never mind the backup.

Nice. That could well feature on a future skin. Thanks.
EDIT: It WILL feature on my new skin.

Quote from AndroidXP :[/] = blocks user messages
[Shift + /] = blocks user & system messages
At the end of race type "/w pb" (or use a bind) and see if you have a new pb for yourself

Though I have the feeling you already knew that

I did, I did! Trouble with that is you can miss some important stuff. Don't ask me what!
/w pb is ok if you can remember what the previous pb was. Absolutely NO chance of that!

Leave the damned messages until after the race. No more preoccupation with PBs, more concentration on actually racing. No more crashing 3 seconds after seeing pb message (happens every time ) No more spamming of 'well done's, smileys, 'good job's every time someone gets a pb. (yes I'm as guilty as anyone for that)
Much better to get a nice surprise at the end.

I just did an inventory of the collection of games bought over the years. Oddly enough they all seem to have cost about £30-£35. There is over a grands worth of games taking up shelf space having been played through once, then forgotten. Apart from Half Life, which I've played several times and CS (free), LFS has taken up almost all of my gaming. If the devs packed up and went home right now and never did another stroke of work on it, LFS would be the BEST value for money....EVAH!

Quote from CSU1 :Aaaalrighty then !

Anywho' guy's I must confess, I drive on probably a dozen LFS servers most nights of the week and I NEVER see anither driver that makes as many mistakes and indirect wrecking as myself , :sadbananaI is a bad driver and have terrible pb's and wouldnt beabl to connect to that kind o' server...

Correct.

I think there's a bit of a misconception here. It's not 'slow' drivers per se, that is the issue. It's the totally inept 'drivers'
Believe me nathan, we try to communicate with these guys but it's an uphill struggle. It's hard to know what to do for the best for all of our guests, but OldBloke's suggestion is pretty much on the money.

@felplacerad: Do enlighten us.

Quote from wheel4hummer :What if I have no PB for that combo? Then will it not let me connect? If you are allowed to connect without a PB, then once you do your first lap, you will be kicked if you are more then 10s behind the wr?

-1000000000000

As an experienced driver you wouldn't have too much of a problem making the cut. Time and time again people join, do a lap and I think 'woohoo! someone I can beat' Within what seems a very short space of time my ass is being whipped! This, mind you, is by someone who copied 'This is your first time in this car/track' message!
+1 and however many zeroes.

But let's keep it on topic shall we?
I dunno, you should first learn how to write, so you could go to school instead of sitting in the computer

And see that button which says: "Caps Lock", click that once more

Er..the topic is: He wants a team

Haha! I make a habit of using shift+F bound to a wheel button. It never occured to me that leaving the connection list on had that effect. Well spotted that man.
Out damned cursor!

Please Mr. Developer man would you, at some stage, make it so the mouse cursor auto disappears after a few seconds inactivity, to reappear when the mouse is moved? It's doin' me 'ead in! I find myself fixated by it. Thank you.

A hillclimb is just the event for nKP, one car at a time, no fps problems, no lag, perfect!

Managing to live in a state that embraces 2 different mother tongues seems a lot more complicated to me than buying a bloody PC game online.
