Quote from HVS5b :

I know, the report system.......but tbh after seeing one of my reports changed from a permanant ban to a warning, I've lost a bit of faith there. I'll only use it for malicious wrecking and mid-race joiners now.

BUT, the last three races were sooooooooo good it kinda made up for it. Tip top door to door racing with fast respectful drivers. Just the ticket

You know that we will of course just say to carry on reporting - at the end of the day If we are not made aware of potential 'danger drivers' how can we be expected to regulate the servers without at least you guys submitting reports.

Just because one report did not go your way don't stop using it. Bear in mind that reports/appeals can go both ways etc.. but please don't stop using the system

Regarding the racing last night, certainly was fun, had an epic battle in 3 races with a group of about 4/6 other drivers all covered by a few seconds, often with 2 or 3 wide.... the only problem is forgeting the lack of grip these cars can have and the completely different braking and accelerating properties.

Fun times

Quote from Worm :

Hello !
Race 2 :
Why we dont have AS4 AS5 AS6 KY3?
Maybe do you think those track are too long but, really, it s some good track to do TBO race. Large route, space.... TBO are fast car, they are not reserved to the small track.

With the slower cars (TBO's compared to GTRS) these tracks are just a little bit too long for pickup racing on the whole within the CTRA environment at this time.

We do not dispute that they are great tracks thou

Quote from swisscosmo :

ok thx do you know his LFS username by any chance becuase i don't feel like having to make an acount so i can ask him?

LOL

that IS his LFS username

well - that would be very kind offer if you did Jonaz

I know that it is a fairly simple colour scheme - its just i can not get my head around those curves and how to line them all up properly

Let me know if you need ay further photos and pics etc.

Regards,

Dru.

we have 39 connections on TBO server, but race authority only shows top 13 names.... standing room only please

Hi guys and gals,

I've got a fairly simple request - I know I skin some cars and have produced some skins for others on request, but I always come unstuck on helmets

Is there any chance someone would be able to make me the basic colour scheme of a helmet, that I can then finish off myself with logos and names etc??

The simple helmet I am looking for is the helmet worn by ex-seventies F1 Driver Francois Cevert.

You do not need to add the goodyear or the CEVERT name etc. I am only needing the helemt colours and designs - that way I can then finish off the helmet with DRU or PARKER depending upon which league etc i will be driving in etc etc.

Any kind soul out of there would woulf help this Cevert fan out?


Cheers,


Dru.

Quote from Scawen :

Well, I guess I should have said redder rather than brighter. It now has red to maximum and the green a bit reduced so it is less orange, and now the same colour as the red LED lights of the gear indicator.

I think this is a bit easier to see in your peripheral vision, there was something a bit washed out about the orange, though I'm not certain it achieved all that Dru wanted. It is still not popping out at you, to say the least.

Although the red channel of the shift lights are now at maximum, the whole texture is toned down by the colour Eric chose for the dash texture, so it is duller than on some other cars.

Hi Scawen,

Yes it is a little better but to me it is still either in the wrong position and/or the contrast is wrong.

I've done a quick mock up... hope you can see it, the reason is - i don't understand why the brightness of Y24 patch can not be mirrored in Y32 - even against the weird blue bezel.

The pictures i have in order is:

PAtch Y32 - dull red light under gear selection which is still not clear.

PAtch Y24 - bright light on black background clearly inditiable by periferal vision as there is nothing with the same colour around it.

My proposal - Have it on the top of the Speedo display, similar to the PL button. This way even though its still on the blue bezel it is in a position which will be identifiable by periferal vision.

BTW i've just copied and pasted the light from the PAtch Y24 into it.

Again, sorry for being silly, but why is the light in patch Y30/32 not able to be as bright as in Y24? even with the different colour bezel - it is still clearly brighter?

Cheers and regards,

Dru.

Lol ! I dont know what happend

it was too early

Quote from N I K I :

Ok Dru, my apologies. Thank you.

I hope you all finally have realized my point now when you experienced pure juices of TBO

Let us see what happens over the next few wekks - maybe interesting with Z coming out tommorrow (hopefully)

Quote from -NightFly- :

oops, yeah, forgot to add...Me and Spikey are running as at team: [HR] Hit'n Run

Heaven Help Us

Nice one guys

Quote from Scawen :

I don't have time to comment on every report, sorry.

But I do report every change I made, and if you look at the change log you will see that I did this, as requested.

The shift light is now as bright as the gear text.

my apologises for missing this crucial fact on speed reading

cheers Scawen

15 people online and racing - come get it whilst it's hot

Quote from N I K I :

Oh stop it party breakers. Specially Dru.

Hang about mate - I'm the reason you got the blimin TBO server back - go go and use it

Thanks for Y32

but please Scawen, where do we post about improving the race speedo dials that now appear in the UFR for example where it is impossible to see the rev limit dial without ruining the simulation experience by putting virtual dials on the screen as the real life one does not have any decent contrast?

I posted in the Y31 thread but you closed without commenting

Quote from Bg-racing :

Hello Scawen
I`m one dude from Bulgaria and play this game from 3 years, but now i have a litlle problem. I live in poor country, and i haven`t money for license, tell me how i can to unloch the new test patch Y31 to drive with all cars
i m demo racer. tnx and sorry for my bad english, i hope you helo me tnx again

you'll have to wait for Patch Z before updating your demo

OK,

the test patches are great, but I have got one thing which is a major problem to me...

the updated speedo on the UFR.

Any chance that the contrast of the rev limit light can be increased. At the moment when driving with 'real' speedo etc it is almost impossible to see the rev limit light flash up due to its dull colour compared to the gear light indicator.

I was hoping that you could change this but looking thorugh the colour options in display etc I could not find anythnig apart from using the fox dashboard back light, but unfortunately the gear indicator and rev limit are not covered by this.

Any chance this can be made a 'bright' 'contrasting' light once more please

Thanks,

Dru.

Quote from danowat :

Anyone planning on having any unofficial or semi-official (or even official ) pre-season test events?.

Would be nice to get together with some guys and get some racing done before the season starts proper

I'm sure that Bean0 will organise something like this, we did it last year and it was very successful. Basically we did un-offical races on a thursday night each week on the run up to the league using the same format, but a bit more relaxed. It gave competitors and admins alike the chance to get used to the format.

so where can we all see the new TBO server stats that shows that it is full 24/7...



....i've only seen Void on it so far

Quote from ivantod :

Here U are

I done that skin, in maybe,hmmmmm, 5 minutes,so that thing that you say that dont have time,lol.....

....maybe 6 minutes was needed - you spelt Hannah wrong altohugh it is confusing as the license name and racer name is different as is the name in the thread compared to the one she(?) asked for

Quote from SamH :

CTRA is public-facing and the majority of people racing CTRA never visit the forums and don't know about test patches so it would all just vanish if we used Y30. Also, it's not designed to run different versions of LFS per individual CTRA server, because things like ban files are common across all servers, so it's not an option.

da da da da da da da da da da da da da da BETA testers! if required... or get scipy to re-do all his recent good work

do i get a finders fee?

Congratulations on a happy ending

Quote from Scawen :

I didn't know whether you really meant I should ignore you... It's hard to ignore a crash report though.

But it seems it was something to do with loading a file?

Please do post an explanation if you post a crash report, otherwise it's just a bit worrying and confusing!

Yeah - sorry Scawen, forgot to delete the attachment.

Basically I had updated an older version of X rather than wait 20 minutes copying my Y24 folder, and the problem was hte server went to SO6 which clearly in the older installation - i did not have.

HOpe that clears it up ... like i say, i'm a muppet.
