OK,

so i have made a basic skin.... no sponsers yet - but let me know what you think of it so far and whether you would prefer YOUR name on the car and race number etc?????

I'm very very busy atm - it's quite an easy skin to do - IF i get time I could knock something up over the weekend.

Quote from harjun :

this thread states that this forum is geekly, so therefore my thread is also geekly, so in no way can you imply that my thread i have made is any way geekly, when it is in a geek forum...

But your thread started NOT saying anything about being geeky, and the geeky comment was made by you in post number #6 so it does not 'state' anything... infact you are the only one that 'claims' it....

think you should think more before posting pointless threads... the forum is a better place without these kinds of self-opinionated threads....

well - I think 'practice' is the better word.

The problem with mid-race join is the drivers who go out hot lapping and disregard other racers who 'get in their way' whilst driving about.

The worst offenders i can not stand are the ones which drive quickly up to the guy in front, then shadow them, or 'tail-gating' for want of a better word, forcing them into a mistake and then they crash.

There is no need ofr that type of driving and the fact that lap times can be gained by MRJ just make that problem worse.

I don't have a problem with MRJ who respect the rules but ones which join and hot lap and break the rules and affect other drivers should burn....

Quote from Bean0 :

But the point of joining mid race has always been to set a qualifying time.

At least that is how it was originally, and I cannot remember reading that it has changed.

is it - or is the point to get soem practice laps in and get used to the car/combo, without interfering with the drivers who took to the starting grid

simply entering the race MRJ will improve your grid position even if you don't record a lap - you'll be first of the 'new' racers into the next race... which can be 10 or so on some race nights with big numbers of joiners.

Quote from modelmotorracing :

The post-race wrecking and parking on track thing would be a good inclusion IMO. It's a shame there isn't a proper parc fermé area on every track after the finish line that folk can be asked to drive to. Maybe some explanations of why the rules are there could help people to understand. E.g. "crashing into a car unexpectedly can cause damage to the user's force feedback wheel, or cause him to spill his coffee" etc. I agree if there are too many rules it will just be like one of those software licence agreements you just click through without reading.

Again, people are bringing LFS issues into the CTRA system and asking them to sort it.

I for one would not sit down and waste ANY time going through reports based on incidents on cool down laps...

If you don't want to mess up your FF, then press escape after you have finished....

Well done guys,

Yesterday we hit the 20,000,000 points scored using the CTRA X System... thats some big number hey

Concept Racing is pleased to announce its final Driver signing of the 2008 campaign.

Dan Watkin (danowat) former Adaptive Racing Supremo and organisor of the successful Road Summer and Winter Sprts Cups recently contacted Concept Racing about securing a driving role for the team. After racing against the Concept Racing drivers in several different races and servers after being impressed with the teams performances and attitude to racing Dan applied for a Team Driver position.

We were likewise pleased that Dan had contacted us. After several weeks of driving sessions and time spent getting to know the team in ventrillo we are pleased to announce Dan Watkins as a Concept Racing Driver.

As you are aware Dan drives all manner of LFS cars but his favourites are the FZ50 and the FXO, both of which he drives to a high standard.

As a Platinum licensed CTRA driver with a Yellow flag ratio of just 14% and a high finishing record, Dan is indeed a great addition to the squad.

All involved at Concept Racing wish him the very best and welcome him with open arms.

Quote from neo force KP61 :

hi guys,
quick question im sure someone here will answer easily, just got a new PC, do i have to D/L the whole LFS again and just log in, and regarding sets/skins, save all sets etc to external harddrive and transfer them into the relative folders on the new pc?

cheers !

Yes,

D/L a fresh install of LFS and then copy over any files you want to kep (such as your skins folder and setup folder) might also want to keep your cfg file etc as well.

Fire it up and then unlock it..... simple as

what became of the chasing of finding out when the proper mesh wil be made?

Quote from Becky Rose :

There is

but does check also mean the ability to 'restrict' Becky?

Quote from SamH :

100% possible. I can insert a mix of tracks and specific cars into the existing rotation. Forcing use of a car that a driver does not favour could cause them to either drop out of the server or fall in love with that car (every TBO car is adorable, if you're in a level field). When everyone is in that car, though, it's fun to go for it.

The effect would have to be monitored closely, and you need to know that any damage to the popularity of the server would be (I've found) slow to recover from. It would relieve some of the pressure to balance cars, though, so I'm interested to hear from people who would prefer no balancing, how they would feel about being forced into an RB4 or XRT for a couple of hours. Thoughts?

I think this idea would kill the server tbh....

Quote from Bean0 :

As requested by Dalek0220, Benetton B192...

Really gotta say well done for this one Old Bean

Really falling inlove with this skin, its a petty that I have to drop it for the team skin sometimes
