Dead Men Racing. www.deadmen.co.uk
Check out out the website. Although it looks CS dominated, it's not. The ethos is the same though, whichever game we play. If you like the look of dMw, sign up to the forum and get the password for when the Dead Men Racing server is private.

Quote from DethMag :

Theres always the option of Tar and Feathering

Aaah! Good 'ole tar 'n' feathering. Those were the days.

Quote from JJ72 :

that's your fan, not LFS killing you PC.

Well said. That'll put him on the right track.

Don't you just HATE having to explain a joke?

Quote from Becky Rose :

If anyone accusses me of not posting a useful or helpful reply I would just like to point out that unlike normal I have not posted 18 paragraphs of diatribe, and therefore, it has been hugely helpful in saving you time reading my endless output.

For which I, for one, thank you. :up:

If by 'mature' you mean fair, clean and sensible, visit the Dead Men Racing forum. Take look at the dMw home page etc. and if you like what you see, register on the forum. When you've done that you will have access to a private server 24/7. We recommend you join Ventrilo as well, it makes all the difference.

Oh, we will NOT be checking your lap times!

You're holding it too long. It only needs a dab.

I've done GTR and GTL and found them both wanting in the ways outlined in so many posts above. I started to download the demo and was reading this thread at the same time. I got to 21% and thought "What the hell am I doing? It'll be another £35 down the tubes! Stop it!'

Phew! That was close, thanks fellas.

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Don't get me wrong it could be done, but it wouldnt be particularly "integrated" so to speak.

I'm not worried as to how 'integrated' it would be as long as it's on the same screen and I can see other racers results as well. (getting greedy now, but I smell an app coming on)

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Without using overlays, or LFS being in Windowed Mode, or unless you had 2 screens, I dont think you'd get the effect that you want.

Bummer! I could have sworn, that with all the expertise out there and all the stats that lsf can throw at you, it would have been a breeze. Oh well, perhaps a feature for the future.

Quote from zeugnimod :

LFSWorld does that.

Under Online Race Results, if you click on DETAILS for a race, it shows the lap times of every driver, who finished the race.

Yes, I appreciate that, but I would like to see them right after a race and within, the game. But you knew I meant that didn't you?

This thread is all double Dutch to me, so a simple question.:dunce: Is there an InSim program that will let me see a list of all my lap times after a race? A la GTL (OK, I'll wash my mouth out!) It would be great to see if you are consistant throughout a race rather that just your best lap. If there isn't such an app, is it possible to make one?

Quote from mrbogeyman :

so your old too then?

it gets depressing when young people say 18 is 'old' illepall

I want to smack 'im.

Is it possible to see this, the results of every lap that is, ingame as per GTL? Be nice if you could.

Thanks for the loan of your screenie MoMo

Quote from mrbogeyman :

I like this idea alot. Especially a map rotation scheme. Alot of people moan about there not being enough variation in LFS, but with a map/car rotation scheme then people could have a great selection and a very varied session of races.

Obviously Hotlappers or people who are practicing/learning won't like the constant track and car changing but IMO it would make a nice change.

OT: Come back to LFS then have you doorman?

Im currently MIA with a dodgy ISP so I might have missed you on the servers/

Well, after the GTL servers debacle we thought we'd give LFS a go and decided that we like it! Obviously it's good to take a break.

As far as Race Manager is concerned, I understand that. But I'm asking that it should be integrated into the game. Much less of a faff factor.

Quote from Becky Rose :

I think this might work better with a proper server rotation list, like you get with maps in fps games, have the server wait until all cars are finished and then repeat whatever session just took place ... and if a rotation is setup, move to that session or track.

Quite!

Something I'd like to see would be, that when a race finishes and everyone has crossed the line, after a few seconds the game reverts automatically to either practise or qualifying. As it is, there's a lot of mooching around until someone decides to start a vote. It would be nice for there to be a definitive 'end' to a race.

Quote from TagForce :

The problem is not so much that he did it... It is how he did it...

What I find to be the most disappointing is WHY he did it. He goes on to show what a great driver he is by finishing 5th! (I still don't like the arrogant, cheating git! . I'd kick him off my server straight away)

Quote from tristancliffe :

.....As I've said I don't have the telemetry so I can't say where he braked, or his speeds....

But the stewards did. With the might and majesty of Ferrari and Schumacher to contend with, it seems unlikely they would have dished out the punishment they did without some pretty damning evidence. Even the Ferrari spokesman, Luca somebody, didn't seem to be as outraged as he should have been if it was a 'mistake'

I'll get me coat.

I have nothing to add to this thread, but I would like to say what a well argued discussion this is. A pleasure to read a thread that hasn't degenerated into a slanging match.

Carry on.

An' tumbleweed, don't forget tumbleweed. An' empty crisps packets an' an'....

Quote from bo-kristiansen :

I dont get it...
I havent changed any text on that one.

Odd. My apologies for the slur on your very capable English.

Quote from bo-kristiansen :

but nice that you notice things like that.

Is it? Maybe if I watched the road with as much concentration I'd drive a bit better!

Quote from bo-kristiansen :

I WAS thinking of adding a "i" to the "to let" sign though.

Don't we all!

Just to nip back to Bo's contribution.........Marvelous! My only disappointment is that the overhead road sign in SO, has reverted to 'City Center'. It didn't occur to me to back up my 'City Centre' one. (CTY_Logos2.dds) For the pedants among you.

The wonderful thing is they were taking the p*ss out of the whole sorry Eurovision mess! Everyone voted for them! SUOMI! SUOMI! SUOMI! :banana::banana::banana:

That'll get you through fine.

You're a very naughty boy. Take no notice of him, you'll end up with a smack in the mouth.
