before your time in LFS the gold license used to open up the full range of TBO cars if memory serves me right.

Nowadays it is redundant from best I can think (but it is early still )

Just read this thread.

Very sad for the Team and for all the drivers concerned - but you know - as they say when one door closes another opens.

Wish all the ex-team members of Adaptive Racing the very best for the future. All of you were good racers and a credit to the game and the community.

If any drivers do wish to remain in LFS then Concept would of course would be very keen to hear from you.

All the best for the future guys,



Dru.

Seems a bit of a strange way either?

why do such a large calander with a huge break inbetween rounds 2-3 or 3-4 (depending upon version)

Surely you should consider running it all in one go... otherwise if you only have a few races before a large break, chances are people with 'drift' off onto something else by the time the season restarts.

Quote from Jakg :

I wouldn't say "driving" as you can see the steam from the Catapult.

don't split hairs Jak

see what happens after the crash IMO

If the guy says sry sry sry I was on the phone... (then report them)

If they said sry sry - my pedals died - or I left it in neutral - then thats racing mate, just accept it and learn to have better reactions

I'm sure the main problem is the fuller server - if people 'think' they will not make the start then if they 'spec' they can potentially lose their grid slot to someone else and then when they 'can' make it - they have 'race full'

I think this thread should remain on topic which is that this guy is looking at ways to improve his driving and get into a team.

O/T posts just make this task even harder.

Damn it - I've Vorsprung durch a leak!

Quote from thisnameistaken :

IIRC he was running 2nd at the time.

Yup - but your missing the part where that was all done WITH traction control.

Show me him driving this years STR without Traction Control that well in the wet and I'd be the first to applaud him

I'm really excited about the prospect of a wet monaco with cars without traction control..... goes misty eyed and remembers Bellof and Senna 1984

Quote from oscarhardwick :

i need a skin transfered to all gtr cars plz,

here it is,




o an ty to anyone who has a go at this

Is there any reason why the person who made that one for you could not do it?

Checkout Masterskinners for the prokits and you could probably do it yourself

So this is where the CR boys have been all week

Cracks the whip

Nice job on the BTCC skins boys

Quote from Bean0 :

The ITV streams of the practice sessions have no commentary...it's great

indeed - the pure sounds of F1.... surely all 'interactive' people should be able to press the red button and stop that idiot James Allen from ruining what would be a great sound specticle

Quote from niels1 :

After some time off racing due to certain things it is time for me to resign from HR. Its a great bunch of guys together, that is when there together. Lack of interest and too much LFS, dumplings occured has put me off. I wish all remaining HR members a good time at HR. Very nice people. Goodby HR, thank you for the time I have spent there.

All the very best for the future in LFS and life Niels. You have been a great Ambassador for Halfords Racing and you will be surely missed by team and community if indeed this is the end of LFS for you.


Catch you round mate


Best Regards,


Dru

Teams are not just for 'pro's' tbh.

Teams are setup for various reasons, whether it be for common enjoyment, league activity etc etc


Anyhow, back on topic - you seem to drive/race FXR almost exclusivley - why not edit your post to reflect this.

Also edit it to mention whether or not you would be wanting or like to compete in league races or enduro events etc etc.

I remember the TRDT was looking for FXR drivers recently - why not approach them?

Getting into a team can be 'hard' to start with, after all, you could be the quickest guy in LFS but if you had a bad attitude then no one would want you in their team etc - or similalry you might be the nicest guy in the world but also slower than a UF1 in your FXR... so a balance has to be struck somewhere.

MY advice, edit your post to be more specific, also mention whethewr you have ventrillo or teamspeak, what your availability is etc etc and maybe someone will see it and offer you a test drive or just say' come check us out, come on our server XXX' etc etc

good luck in your search

Regards,

Dru.

Quote from SamH :

Darn it! I will make sure a solid barrier is put in place, or possibly a marshal post. Dru is right about objects causing obstructions. Our tests have shown that hay bales in front of solid barriers are the most reliable means of reducing the risk to other drivers, and giving the occasional driver who overshoots the corner a reasonable chance to recover.

I still think that strapping a mattress to the front of a car is prefered than having a solid barrier..... or just reporting..


BTW.. i did a few races last night on SS1 at AS3R and everythnig was fine - no cutters and a good set of racers (about 20 i think )

sure there was a few problems at T1 - but seriously - if a barrier was there it would just make the carnage WORSE.

IMO anyone who deliberately should be reported and snctioned rather than just place a barrier there

45 minutes on an enduro replay with 30 cars FFWD in just 5 seconds that is great stuff

Quote from thisnameistaken :

That would be awesome. Maybe give drivers like Vettel an opportunity to shine.

lol

didn't the last time it rain vettel had traction control and still ended up taking his team mate out?

I would hope that it rains only to be able to help the Honda or Button out

its the usb socket - i had this issue last year with it.

You can take the power out no worries and it does not reset - only when the usb connection is broke/loose.

check your connections

does that mean its rubbish then if you are selling already?

Quote from james12s :

yh cos then those who guenuinly go off get penalised too(cos of damage of being rolled by tyres)

its not even that James..

people who have NOT gone off can get their races ruined by flying objects (such as tyres) that come BACK onto the circuit.

Sure a permanent barrier would not move - but the danger of cars hitting that and then coming back onto the track is even greater.

I've recently raced a few CTRA races at AS3R on various servers (race 2/3 etc etc) at that level people do not deliberately cut and there is no need for barriers - the guys who cut on the lower tier servers (or any server for that matter) should be reported and dealt with accordingly !

Quote from teedot :

would be nice if you could put something there (ie tires) to prevent it happening in the first place...

trouble is - like FE Green and such like additional barriers etc etc can cause more problems than they are worth - its easier just to report the cutters

go to you local scrappy - find a GTR type car, and give the guy £20 to get out a seat for you.

Get the frame as well and then mount it on something suitable.

The last thing you really want is the seat to be mounted onto wheels.

to be honest I would just get a middle of the road office type chair for about £40-50 quid that is comfortable and that you can change the height and the amount it tips back etc.... then just take the wheels off of it ... thats what I've got and its more that adequate.

of course if you are looking at playing in your lounge isn't the biggest issue going to be to mount your steering wheel on something more solider than you lap?

Quote from darkinertia :

is there anyway to make the DFP quieter becuase i love my DFP except for the fact the wheel is so loud! anyone know how to fix this?

Invest in a more epensive, better built (and quiter) G25

or

Turn up your speakers

I would not bother with opening up the wheel to try and scilence it - all you will do is invalidate your warrenty if or when it goes wrong due too too much LFS

Ok,

The update guys

O/T

My life is heading for a big change = Relocation, new house, new job.

Happening before the end of the summer, before I have to get the old house ready to sell (including new bathroom etc etc)

It is highly unlikely that unless another team comes forward to run the league (or a group of invididuals who would want to run this league) then it's not going to happen.

So I guess, if anyone would be interested in taking on such a challenge then get in touch

Regards,

Dru

(ps I hope that I am not letting people down, but I really can not justify the time over the next months to do anything apart from sleep, work, get house ready, find new job etc etc...)

Jak - what is the best thing to do? limit it with Vsync or cap the ingame frame rate?

sounds like an un-feasible suggestion for purely pickup racing.

If you don't like what people do at the end of the race, just spectate immediately, then you don't have to see what the others are doing...
