With 30 participants this turned out to be the most attended RTFR XL race when using FZR - the car set also a record of being the most used car in the event series by being selected for the 6th time,but it was the 1st visit in Kyoto. The combo is pretty much known in community as there have been plenty of various length races,including a recent 6h race,where the FZR are was not very popular in car selection though.

Seems like Kyoto has received a big load of bananas,as some monkey took most of the glory from this race - he started 8th and needed just 10 laps to reach top of the field,leading the last 25 laps of the 34 laps race. The monkey originally hailing from jungle of Finland scored his 4th win (he's the 5th driver to achieve this amount) and on the way to victory lane scored also his 4th fastest lap of the race,while it was his 12th top5 finish. The lithuanian Mantas joined this event just for the 2nd time and already scored his 1st pole position. Ironically he was no able to lead the race for long,as he lost his lead in 1st turn and never regained it,still finishing 2nd,which is 7 positions better than his previous attempt. 3rd place finisher Goszki had even less experience in RTFR XL - none,he qualified 6th and halved his position number during the race to finish 3rd. Fatal finished 4th scoring his 6th top5 finish and Pablo closed the top5 with his 2nd top5 entry,also in row.

* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
Between 4 cars used in RTFR XL for 5 races,FZR was the least attended. This race helped to improve car's average attendace enough to pass the closest rival LX4 and take 13th position in overall chart.

* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
Despite not completing full race distance,Doni still gets classified in final results as 21st place finisher and with this is legal "winner" of this mention as his pitstop was just 0.04s over minimum requirement and with it the shortest legal pitstop,no other driver did a shorter pitstop than 11 seconds as the combo required at least refuelling,while most drivers selected to take a set of new tyres too.

* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
Ayoub Maroc qualified in low 24th place,started 23rd and finished 8th to score a 15 positions gain during the race - 5 more than 2nd best positions gainer.

VOD at Youtube:


Combo for the 68th RTFR XL has been selected relativelly quick and it will be the repeat of 1st ever 40 participants race in normal RTFR - the celebratory 100th RTFR running XFG at back then brand new Westhill's National configuration. That race will be 37 laps long and will take place in 9th august. But as always already next week we'll go back to the 30+min RTFR,where one of the street legal cars will be run. More info as always this weekend.

Here's your solution: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/98972
Good luck in competition!

LFS has now it's own tweaker,which is free for all S3 licence holders.

I recall there was a discussion from him in LFS discord server. I did not read everything through,but seems like he had his answers there.

No,there is nothing. Why exactly nothing has been developed to give AI opportunity to learn new tracks has to be answered by Scawen himself - he knows the process behind the scenes,I just know what is currently possible and what is not.

The .knw files can be generated ONLY in standard LFS tracks,no open configs,no custom layouts. So your best chance for straight line is the 400m (1/4 mile in your weird currency ) drag strip or Aston/Kyoto/Westhill long straights.

Event's MPR file attached. Seems like something wrong with timing as some times are missing (possible due mods or change of bike). Still the best time will count in official final results.
Edit: After checking whole replay,no results were missing from ingame results table,it was just my lack of awareness as I was busy with starters release and some drivers kinda running but never finishing a run.

Pitting rules:
Race requires a minimum time spent in pitstall of 10 seconds. That can be done either with single pitstop or sum of multiple pitstops. Driver who has spent less time will receive penalty time added to his finish time,which will be calculated by tripling the missing time to complete neccesary minimum time and adding additional 5 seconds. Drivers failing to pit at all will receive 1 minute penalty added to finish time (10s*3 + additional 30s).

Race statistics / RTFR .mpr folder / Event rating and other statistics (will be updated later this week)


In this RTFR race we used one of the new candidates for the LFS GTR class - the 70HP more powerful LSV 12. This was also the 1st ever RTFR race with a car having an engine with more than 8 cylinders as the LSV has 12 of them. With little setting up few drivers using the extra power could beat the FZR's world record in this track - 7 did it in qualifying,6 - in race. Also this race registered the 4th repeat of highest ever race leaders count - 4 (last previous time with 4 leaders was in 205th RTFR,just over 3 years ago),ironically the polesitter was not between them.

The 3-time racewinner Altsu scored his 7th pole position in his return after longer break,but lost lead before entering 1st turn and further mishaps put him down the order,later recovering himself up to 7th position in finish. Unite took over race lead in lap 10 and kept it until finish line to become 8th driver with 10 or more race wins,scoring his 22nd fastest lap of the race on the way,it was also his 59th top5 finish,breaking his tie for 3rd most of these. Ohnifus led 3 laps before being passed by race winner,but kept at least 2nd place in results,which is 2 positions better than his only other top5 finish,also his 5th place in qualifying was improvement over previous best,but just by a single position. Current 10 race rating leader Fatal also led a lap in this race,but finished in 3rd position,scoring his 13h top5 finish,Goszki broke into top5 for the first time in this event series,previous only other finish was 8th position. Doni closed the top5 and scored his 12th top5 finish.

Next week we'll return to LFS standard GTR cars - in the next RTFR XL is the FZR on the line to be raced in the other standard Kyoto road course config Kyoto GP Long,using the Boothy chicane adjustment on the fast chicane leading off the oval part. Full info will be posted and server will be set up tomorrow. But in 2 weeks in next normal RTFR it will be one of the street legal cars on the line again. With this the activity from RGE does not end this week,but the next event won't be using a 4-wheeled vehicle like all our previous events before - this sunday we will host our first ever motorcycle event,which will be run in time trial format. More info you can find out in the Race Green Westhill Tourist Trophy thread.

They should show up in shift+U mode when you click on "edit" on lower left of the screen. Spacebar switches between menu on/off. If that does not help,I'm clueless. Then you have to show some screenshots.

How to delete object - click on the dot of the object,press delete of your keyboard. Also you can use key D for distance measurements when placing objects.
Read lfs\docs\autocross.txt - might also be helpful. Or this: https://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Autocross_Editor

Generally a nice car,but obviously unfinished - there are plenty of gaps where you can see through either ground or other car's parts. Also skin template is thrown together without caring as only one side is mapped (other probably mirrored) and there is something else going over the side part. Also engine should be transverse for a rear engined car with rear seats - currently part of an engine is an armrest for passengers in the rear of the car.
If these bugs gets sorted out,this car deffinitelly has a potential to become more than cruiser's transportation.

Quote from ZFRL•LG-mies via RG discord :

RTFR CCCC (Mclarry_D8M) lap 11, t3 (the first one you brake into), Jereloco
I was braking to the corner as usual, closing to the outside kerb, when Jereloco went for a "divebomb" from outside with an extraordinarily late braking spot, rear-ending me with over 30km/h speed difference. It can be seen on the replay that he may have not made the corner if he hadn't hit me.

The description about late braking point is not really correct as observation showed that the driver in question did use quite similar braking point in following laps. However Jereloco should had been more careful seeing driver slightly off speed ahead and adjust his speed according to this - lack of this judgement led him to slide beside driver ahead,with cars that are very unstable under brakes by default,and hit it.

* PENALTIES :
Jereloco - receives a WARNING for avoidable contact on start of lap 11. Having the driver on the list with several warnings,knowing his history in other events and knowing his unchanging agressive racing style,this will be considered as final warning before actual race ban if the driver does not start to be more cautios and avoid incidents!

So we keep testing various different cars and their classes that are not in standard LFS cars list - this time we tried out under racing conditions a car from very crazy era. In early 70ies the sports cars were receiving big and powerful engines,but these were mounted in cars that consist of very basic construction and do not provide in modern times very well known aerodynamic help. This led to unbelievable speeds (racewinner clocked a speed of 336km/h) with car that struggles to turn in the bends all LFS drivers used to go through flat out without worries in every other car. Despite rear tyres with 45 centimeters width,many drivers struggled keep the car straight when accelerating out of turns,making the McLarry a love it or hate it car.

The driver latelly taking almost every victory lane latelly in normal RTFR reserved it for himself also yesterday - Gábor clocked the fastest known laptime in this combo in qualifying,beating his teammate in 2nd position by almost a second. He led every lap besides the one he lost lead due own mistake,but that was a temporary setback as he run away from competition to cross the finish line 43 seconds ahead of closest follower,scoring the 1st RTFR-CCCC race win. The event organizer also had his setback falling down the order after own mistake before reaching 1st proper turn,but during race drove by many struggling drivers and finished 2nd. 3rd was his teammate Lorenzo,who led a lap,but had to give up the earned 2nd position due blown tyre.

Next week RGE will present 2 events - first on tuesday the normal RTFR will feature a race with one of the slick tyre cars,more info as always during the weekend. 2nd event will take place on sunday and that will be a brand new event that will use 2-wheeled vehicles - motorcycles! Race Green Westhill Tourist Trophy is a time trial type event on the public roads of Westhill (using an updated Westschleifenring layout),where bike riders will be able to show their skills in competition,more info in the Westhill TT info thread!

For those interested to race this car,here's some good news:



Full info: https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/2007511#post2007511

It will be just a 30+ minutes sprint race though,but at least you can get some feeling for this car!

In RTFR ( https://www.lfs.net/forum/462-Rony%27s-Tuesday%27s-Fun-Race ) there is quite variating skill level through field from world record owners to drivers starting to evolve their skill. Cleanness of racing is also variating - races are mostly clean,but some messy races happen,often incidents not reviewed because people are too lazy to report (but not too lazy to complain with general statements) as I rely on reports rather than going through replays. Already today is a race,but we'll be racing a very difficult car today as part of the experimental version of the event.

Anyway - leagues section with calender is a good help when searching for organized racing events,there are plenty of different events: https://www.lfs.net/leagues

Demo has the exactly same netcode as licenced version. The only reason is connection quality - you can see your ping in connections list (press N until it shows up),high or variating ping will cause very unstable cars movement. Also check where the server is located - if you're not in European server,your ping will be increased by default already.

Timetable:
Sunday,10th July
16:30 UTC / 18:30 CET - start of 3 hours open track time trial mode
19:30 UTC / 21:30 CET - end of session,no new runs can be started,all riders on track can still finish their runs
* the shown CET time is current (summer) time - if not residing in CET time zone,always refer to UTC for correct time zone convertion!

Guidelines during the event:
* Server will be password protected and password will be posted in this thread. No signups required.
* Riders will be allowed to start their runs with approx. 30 seconds gap.
* At the start of the session all riders will be called out in connections order,after the order has been complete,riders have to request a run by clicking on host's name (Race Green Events) in connections list and type "requesting a run". Riders will be queued in requests order and administration will allow them to join track,riders will have approx. 10 seconds time to join.
* There is no limit how many runs a rider can take,however it can be limited by amount of other participants and their run requests.
* In case a faster rider has cought a slower one,the slower rider has to act similary as under blue flag - rider may not block an overtaking attempt,while faster rider has to pass in safe manner.
* In case of a fall,riders can put up the bike on wheels with command ";flip" (semicole+flip),there will be 2 seconds delay between command has been typed and executed. An additional command ";turn" (semicole+turn) will turn the bike 90° to the left direction. Note that commands are available only when the bike is stationary!
* There are no restrictions in bike or it's setup usage,however slick tyres are strongly suggested. In final results rider will be scored with best time of the session and the bike the time was set with.
* It is expected riders are familiar with the track and the bike they have selected,make sure you have at least some practice before the event.
* As per standard LFS rules,touching movable objects will add 2 seconds penalty,false start - 30 seconds penalty. These penalties will have affect the result of the run.

Rules:
* In case a faster rider has cought a slower one,the slower rider has to act similary as under blue flag - rider may not block an overtaking attempt,while faster rider has to pass in safe manner.
* It is forbidden to change name during event - participants should select their name (the one you usually use and wish to be identified with) before start of the event.
* Absolutelly no stopping on track - if for some reason a rider cannot continue his run,spectate and request a new run when it's possible again.

Other info:
*Event server - server is online,is set in practice mode with pratice layout (no time trial start) and has an Airio for laptime tracking (due hexadecimal code,most mods laptimes cannot be shown on simple !top table). Airio can spectate connections with very high and unstable ping for safety reasons (stable connections even from Australia should not be affected). Server will be open for public use until event day. For private practice feel free to use the attached layout. Server link (click2join): Race Green Events
*Event will be held using the latest stable version of LFS (currently 0.7D),compatible older versions are tolerated.
*All information here can be changed,if so,notification will be posted about changes.

Last time we raced a 700+ horsepower car and this week we'll do the same as power increase is quite slight. What's the real difference in this race is the weight - the car for upcoming race is 8 times lighter than previous one as it consists of tubular frame,big fat V8 engine and fragile glass fiber body. It's a sportscar from very early 70ies,which features a rear wing,but will have trouble turning into fast turns as front does not have much aero input for the handling! Make sure you don't underestimate the slight bends in all 3 longer straights as you'll be reaching 300km/h very fast,sensitive throttle foot is not an option,it's a requirement!

Quote from markknightpz :

A month ban would be about right, that's not exactly a big deal, hopefully that would curb the idiocy.

Past has shown that some people tend to be uncurable,hence the "in the corner" is often tunred into "no longer welcome" after few days. Also - ban from forum just means they cannot write,they can still read all the threads,in worst case at least the public ones as the forum is publically reachable.

1. Moderators should take over the moderating job,there are quite few here.
2. If the thread is so prone to receive negative comments,maybe add some option that only licenced users can comment. Then creation of new accounts would even an income.

I'm also curious what's happening and what's being worked on now,so I'm interested to read. Somehow happens that I'm the one who relays such info to other communities - in latvian simracing discord (where people are more focused on that italian product) I'm the one who gets tagged if something needs to be known about LFS.

There are 2 more - Dennis "the Camaro revenge wrecker" Lind and Philip Ellis,who drives some GT3 cars. Denis is still occasionally joining some LFS servers.

I'm still on Win7. That should end discussions here I guess.
