wow chill man. that´s like about as agressive as my original response to you after you created the bar n grill section, remember? just keep in mind that fail decided he don´t wanna talk to me anymore after that. so in case you wanna keep him as a friend, don´t be so angry. chill out
in the end you can´t deny that there are lots of ovals available, in rFactor for example. maybe going to a game like that would be a (let´s name it) compromise?
LFS, Nascar, rFactor .... it´s just names, you´ll get over it, trust me. i got over it too. it´s not as hard as you think it is ... quoting 2march: "where does all that anger come from?"
maybe now you understand how i felt when i asked for a few extra lobby-channels on vent and nothing happened (until you got admin rights on vent and then decided to jump in with that bar n grill stuff).
i agree with some of the earlier posts: go play another game popps. what you´re looking for is already there, it´s just not called LFS.
this effects kick & ban votes only. restart, quali & end votes (shift+r/q/x) are not en- or disabled by it, they are always on. the only thing you can do to make sure noone ruins your qualification before it´s over: make the server private. afaik putting a possibility to disable race-related votes into the game has been suggested.
edit: i doubt you´ll do a 100 lap race with just one or two people on a public server. just in case you decide to do something like that on a non-private host with .. lets say 8 ppl, you could still vote-kick people who vote for restart. like if one tries to restart, it only takes 4 to kick him
what car did you drive? i just had a look at ky3r with the XRR and the FZR, and the race line is alright here: braking zones BEFORE the turns, not after. maybe it´s just wrong for a certain car ... slap me if that´s stupid
you use it to lower the maximum lock the faster you go.
if i get it right, an example would be: if you have your maximum lock at 16°, speedreduce at 1 and reducehalf at 100 (which is meter/second, so 360kph), max. lock should be reduced to 8° when you´re driving 360kph.
Just like the "wheel turn compensation", it might be nice to have sliders in the control-options for "speedreduce" (0-1) and "reducehalf" (0-200, right?).
seems like atm you can only find out about those two values in the commands.txt.
yeah lol, you´re both on the american continent. here in europe it´s already past midnight, so 21st
anyway, i hope none of you confuses LUNAR and SOLAR eclipse. like, when i was still online in LFS, i shouted something like "WOW, TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE NOW ... OR TOMORROW!!!", and the first question was "WHERE???" ....
i´m not 100% sure about the date. on wikipedia it says feb. 21 2008, on another page it says "In der Nacht von Mittwoch auf Donnerstag", so during the night from wednesday to thursday ... anyway
there is a total lunar eclipse starting 3:00 GMT/UTC, and ending 3:51 GMT/UTC
since the moon went out of my sight at 3:01 utc tonight, guess i won´t see much of the total lunar eclipse, no matter if it´s tonight or tomorrow night *pfff*
so, if i´m not totally stupid, the moon might be visible during that time from the north american continent
for those who can see it: enjoy
next total lunar eclipse will be dec 21 2010
edit: some more info about the event from an older thread:
why cheat in an xrt when there is the bf1? why use the cheat to get a "new challenge" when the competition comes with other players, not new 'programs'?
lfs alone provides enough room to have races against others, and depending how high the ping to another player is, it gets more and more dangerous racing online the faster the car goes. above a certain speed it doesn´t make much sence anymore.
i don´t want to use the speedhack, i don´t need to use it, and i certainly hope i´ll not be forced to use it just because everyone else has it already.
just about 20hours ago we had a 1hour race on fern bay club with the UF1 - and everyone loved it.
if you think you need or want to use the speedhack, you´re simply playing a different game, different rules, so you´re wrong on our server.
something like that... i hope i made myself clear.
edit: P.S. respect is more like what cheaters don´t have. they don´t respect the fact that no decent racer wants to see his opponent suddenly accelerating to twice the maximum topspeed on straights.
I haven´t seen one cheater comming online and introducing himself like "Hi, i´m going to use the speedhack. can you guys please change the server name to hackhackhack and get the program as well?" they just come in and cheat. and you´re asking us to respect them?
To all the oval fans out there: There´s a server online that pretends to be "(FM) OvaL JuNkies", called "(FM) OvaL JuNkles" (with an L instead if an I).
This server has been started by "[DaEmOn]", a guy who had a global ban and recently bought a second licence called "LFS.net".
He has a lifetime ban on all FM servers for cheating. The ban has been refreshed yesterday, and shortly after that, the (FM) OvaL JuNkles server came online.
