Quote from The Moose :

I'd like to see the first two knock-out rounds continue, then the final ten drivers do a 1 hot lap superpole type affair.

Low fuel, single lap qual to sort the men from the boys.

It should be this... but with a twist.

The top 10 have a one lap shootout - but the shoot out is one lap with their race fuel on board.

The drivers have there race fuel added and then they park at the END of the pit lane in reverse top 10 from Q2 order.

They turn their engines off and wait there with a team of 6 mechanics (4 with tyre warmers) one with a rear jack and one with a starter motor.

When its their turn they go out.... like when they use to do the single lap quali a few years ago (but this time its only the top 10, but with race fuel onboard) that can not be altered after the start of the final session.

9 months have past between the last 2 replies in this thread....and what a difference come on... own up - who's been off having a baby?

Quote from AlienT. :

I see your point Dru, but having followed the International eTM with its live streaming, quality commentary, some of the fastest LFS drivers entered, prizes etc. I also believe that the UK/Eire league could turn out be top notch also, this of course it not fact just my opinion . for the cost of a couple of pints, or a mouthfull of beer if you live in Norway....

Ok, lets flip this around.....

live streaming - does not affect the driver taking part
Commentary - does not affect the driver taking part
Some of the fastest LFS drivers - point taken - but this is just gonna lessen the sign up..... for instance if well known 'alein' drivers are entered that have a known pedigree in this class of racing are fast and consistant and do not crash, then why do the other drivers think they might actually stand a chance...

This league will just be like hour stints of an enduro race, there are one or two known drivers who if they entered (or weren't competing elsewhere) would clean up..

So the reason people should sign up is because there are fast drivers entered - well lots of other leagues have these drivers involved (and other fast drivers or clean drivers) were people don't have to pay to race..

how many leagues do you know where people drop out over the season as they realise they will not win?? i bet it's load's and that leagues that you don't even have to pay to enter in the first place..

Quote from Christopher Raemisch :

This is indeed where the best races in LFS league racing will be held, no doubt about it.

Dumb question - but how can you say that with such a small number of drivers?

Surely you can say that AFTER the event - if it IS true..

What is SO special about this series compared to other leagues??

Its a bit like the previous month it was the 'world series' that was going to be the best league.... thing's like this can nto be said until after the event...

otherwise if your incorrect, and people have paid money to join the league - you could be reported to trading standards

I admire the jeeing up that you are trying to give this league, but it really is too little too late i think.

Rather than make first season free, you should be doing non-championship rounds prior to the start of the season, so people can enter and see what makes it so great... after all there are so many leagues out there that does not charge to enter... so this has to b a darn bit more special to make people pay to enter regardless of what 'prizes' are on offer..

Sorta based on the Ford RS200...

kept this little beauty quiet Bean0

I've heard that a few people are having problems with the buffering/loading of LFSvideo's there fore I've uploaded the video for your downloading enjoyment

See the top post for full details.

Quote from Andrei221 :

Hey guys. I just took some footage about what happend to me yesterday in kyoto 250.. the pace car was out , and a guy thinked that its good to hit me when he had lag and i crashed..what happend you will see in the movie..i got mad and accelerated untill i got to my place..some risky maneuvers there but i made it

i'd have dsq'd you for driving dangerously under a pace car situation - regardless of whether you had been hit ot or not....

Quote from drone wolf :

mind informin me how

in LFS you have a controls tab - you then have wheel tab, then you have 'calibrate axes'

in the profiler the DFP 'calibrate' evey time your computer starts up. so it's calibrated to start with.. all you need to do is start LFS through the profiler (by directing it to you exe file)

ok video didn't like the song..... but a few questions about the skins and number plates being used.... you had a plain white skin in there and a Mercury skin?? last thing I heard Mercury was a planet, not a nation... but then it would explain why they are a team full of Aliens

Quote from drone wolf :

is there anyway to calibrate it like in lfs or logitech profiler thing.

yes - in both.

Quote from drone wolf :

ok so my dfp i race with im not sure if i set it up wrong or maybe its just how it is. but like when i barely turn it, it turns to easy without any like feedback to it. and thats so aggrivating when racin because you turn and it feels like your turnin more then you acutaly are. i have wheel turn on 450 degree if that has anything to do with it and force feed back is like 25 what should i change.

Search out a LFS user called gabkicks - he's got the DFP settings he ises in his signature

Hope this helps

updated video
it's now a one part video with the 2 songs.
A few sences have been changed at most tracks also a tweek with the credits (drivers) and introduction.

1st Practice is bone dry and heat haze everywhere

Quote from MIDWINTER :

im not very good on computers all i know is i downloaded fraps again recorded my lfs clips put them in movie maker and edited all them now some of them dont play.......when i replace them with the same clip it works but another different clip wont be read

thanks for the help so far will check the size etc

until you 'finish' the movie... if you change the location of where the fraps clip is taken from in your time line it will then have a red cross and it can not find the file - is this what you are talking about?

A little belated maybe, but I have managed to find some time and get some movies made of the first "Baby-R" league to be run by the UF Racers Club.

Complete 7 minute Movie

I'm only using Windows Movies MAker and my skills are kind of basic to say the least, but I hope that you like what I've done here.

Comments/Advice welcome, eventually I will put them together into one movie, editting out the middle action and maybe have a new attempt at the start of the video.

Regards,

Dru.

Yup - DMR are very professional and we at Concept Racing have had great races there over the previous months

Dan,

you've done an amazing job with your time as a driver and your time here at AR as Team Manager.

Wish you the best for the off-season and as they say so often, less is more... find some distance, find something different and then come back to what you know and what you are best at



PS. GL Freddy

Congratulations Orgi on 2nd mate - or should that be commiserations on missing out on the Z4 by one place

Moose just got me to try the demo..... 2 laps later, a paypal payment gets me a License and its falling in love time all-over again.


Silverstone,Spa and Montreal all tried, all great, really immersive..

It seems a great simulator and can imagine i'm gonna be spending many nights in the futre on LFS trying to press the ignition car on the dash board to start it up...


BTW

Funny moments starting car up for the first few atempts.... Moose failed to inform me i had a fuel pump, by the time he reminded me to turn it on, a smal red light had come up on the AIM, I asked does that show my fuel pump is on? the reply was no, it means you've got a flat battery.... priceless

you need to unlock the DFP (does it show 2 green lights or one)

they are the 2 modes....


Press 3 buttons together (right gear change paddel, R3 button and select)

2 lights means 900 degree is possible rather than much shorter 180-270 odd.

to change the number of degrees from 270-900 and anywhere inbetween download the drivers and use hte logitech profiler.

Be aware, if you use the profiler and its' on 'persisent mode' then changing the degrees in LFS does not change the wheel, only the degrees in the profiler....

HTH

A year ago he was saying I'm a demo - looking for a drift team.....

12 months on - he's still looking..

My guess is a demo user he's gone striaght to the FBM which does require you to lift off the gas to change up
