Start time: 10UTC & 20UTC rotated each round.

wouldn´t X utc & X+12 utc be more logical for something worldwide? if there are other then pure mathematical reasons for the second start time, then nvm

I´m definitely not an expert in those things, but i´d say it IS your connection. have you had a look at the pings received in the servers list ingame? i´d guess those are higher then before the problem. also, don´t just try to connect to a server once, but at least 2 or 3 times, so your PC is definitely ready for the chosen server´s specifications.

maybe you can ping or better tracert well known internet adresses like ... yahoo, or the lfs master server. if it comes up with a high ping already before leaving your provider´s network, then i´d call the provider´s hotline immediately.

if you don´t like using scripts, i´d simply consider moving closer to your keyboard.

back in demo days, when i used mouse, i always had my left hand on the keys to shift up & down, so no big deal to reach the F-keys. kinda like the same position that i used to play first-person shooters

btw that´s the set enjoy

5th gear while driving on your own, made for max speed about 288kp/h, 6th gear can go up to 304 i think.

pffff....

i´ll still post my answer, took me a long second, shouldn´t be for nothing I use the Firefox browser. if you use a different one, ... well, good luck!

P.S. proceed step by step, starting top left! If you can´t see the details on a picture, it has probably been resized by your browser. clicking on the picture shows it in original size ... if u use firefox

racer hero, after like 2457258924576thousand laps on the oval you should have realised that there is nothing like a push-pull effect on the oval. the car in front does NOT gain speed if there´s a car behind him. the only exception is if the car behind really pushes the car in front, bumps it, so really has contact with it (let´s call it bumpdrafting). i hope i made that clear

without any help you can´t get into the 37s in an fzr. those are the times you can compare with the WR, which is something like 38.4x atm afaik.

btw i´m driving on a set that enables me to to 38.59 if i try really hard, normally it´s like 38.62-38.7 - and i don´t care, cause it´s stable, i feel fine with it in almost every situation, and i know that with a drafting partner i can get into the 37s and be competitive. if you are SLOWER driving with cars around you then on your own, you or the others are "doing something wrong".

it takes time to get used to drafting that way, noone learns that within a few laps, many drivers i see or draft with have done several thousand laps on the oval (we love it ), and when there´s none of them around, i´m happy to try & show someone i´ve not seen before the way we draft. so maybe, beefy, we meet in the future. then all you have to do is not loose my draft after i passed you .... again and again

ok, 1 second...

Quote from scania :

Thanks~~~

But I don't think that the lower speeds/higher lap times car must let the other car go at all time. because I have see many "block" in IRL & NASCAR in youtube...

well, if you block IRL on an oval, you still get additional speed because of the push-pull effect. in LFS, we don´t have such an effect, so to get additional speed, you either have to be behind a car or be part of a bump-train

still, sometimes you see that the car behind isn´t really making up speed behind you cause he´s too close for example, and still goes to pass you in the next turn. in that situation it might be better to tell him not to pass by blocking him and hoping he´d make up some gap between you and him, so that he can make up more additional speed behind you on the next straight before passing. but that can hardly be done with a driver you don´t know well... and this kind of block isn´t done in a way that the following car has to brake to avoid a crash

dadge, i said BASICALLY, and besides that, i´d call this one a racing incident anyway. being the slower car, you´re supposed to give enough room on the inside to let the faster car pass. but "enough" depends on the drivers possibility to drive a smooth line. so you actually have to know how the other car drives/how good he can hold a good line. on the other hand, sometimes you see the outside car comming down, obviously on a collision course, probably not aware of you being on the inside.... when you´re driving with guys you don´t know, it´s not that much about decent lap times, but about surviving - just like on a public circuit race server btw

problem solved, you´re unbanned, scania.

as well as on other servers basically the guy behind is to blame when 2 cars crash, on our server it´s the guy on the outside. We are having the simple rule on our server that says: "don´t block the inside", and we´re experiencing amazing draft-actions this way, always looking for higher speeds/lower lap times. besides that, I heared some complains about those Bara-guys´ attitude lately. you was just unlucky that at the moment the accident happened, they could almost complete a vote on their own.

next time you get banned somewhere, check the website of the team that runs the server. no need to post it on lfsforum.

you have to save the files at lfs\data\setups. once you done that, you can select them in the garage. make sure you don´t use old setups from before patch Y, or if you insist to do so, rename them! The new format requires the three-letter-abbreviations of the cars in the filenames.

You know you wanna put "Went to the pisser" on my pitstop my reactions arent that bad!

To be honest, last time I did a pee-stop, it took like 44seconds

Yep was nice & fair racing, really liked it we´ll see each other again soon on the head-to-head competition

thx

yep, just came home - and added all except ben_kennedy, who still has no PB yet

GAAAAAH, *PUSHPUSHPUSH*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

STOP THOSE FREAKING "why did you do that to me, can´t we have it this way, PLEASE" threats!!!!!!!!!!!

and again: *PUSH*!!!

*pushpushpushpush*

every league has it´s own rules. and if you can´t deal with them, look for other leagues! if leagues would suddenly loose like 50% of their drivers because they use views like you, i guess they won´t come up with forced cockpit rules.

so if that´s a problem for you, why don´t you just go find a league that doesnt care which view you use? or even better, make your own league, have your own rules!


edit: and yeah, i´m pretty sure as well that there´s an old thread about FCV already...

you can unlock lfs 1000 times at 1000 different places - you just need to wait a week after each unlock (or of course you skip 1 week, and the next week you unlock lfs on 2 PCs). that´s what 3.3 says.

Yeah, thx to everyone, was pretty tough. unfortunately i got turned around in race2 lap3, tried to get off the race line, it just didn´t work out the way it should have, maybe it didn´t shift into reverse asap, cause i was still on the gas too much - pretty hectic at that moment with like 20cars approaching... but at least i got that final bump off the race line from mr. mooney himself - what an honour
