it´s 5.30 a.m. here, and i just checked the forum for a second before going offline ... for whatever reason so during the day, with some coffee, i hope i´ll get better results ... goodnight!

I wanna win this test! i wanna drive as fast as mooney!

Pass me please - I´m slow

want some? wait a second, i just found this in a thread, and a second later a budddy couldn´t see it by himself cause it was deleted

Quote from zeugnimod :

I hope it stays open for a bit longer.

Could be good entertainment.

lmao, no comment

and @ krammeh: I heared Darren is your brother and socalled co-founder, so i thought i just might adress to him directly. you would hear about that anyway one way or another, and then you 2 can discuss that however you like.

I maybe was pretty bored a few hours ago, at like 6 a.m.. at the moment i have no clue why i decided o start that topic and make it souch a big deal. maybe it was the alcohol, maybe it was the deleted thread. - at 8 a.m. my new mainboard & cpu arrived which kept me busy for the rest of the day, and i´m enjoying the new performance, so... guess i´ll just leave this thread at least until sunday night, lets see if someone closes it, looks like i provoked enough ppl in just a few hours yes it´s FM lol ....*yawn*

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Actually threads are routinely closed when all they do is complain about the policies of individual server operators.

Doh - well, at least i don´t expect it to be deleted.

edit: yeah, i must admit i forgot for a moment that admins might just be a group of however mixed up people that don´t need to follow any rules. my mistake. guess i´ll regret that sooner or later

oh sh!it, i didn´t think about that, sorry. but there´s still plenty of time to find out.

Well, weekend, here we come!

First of all, whoever is not interested in anything concerning cruise servers, whoever just bought LFS for racing - STOP reading, it´s boring

I could find a subforum about leagues & events, but not about cruise servers, that´s the only reason why i post it in General LFS Discussion.

Famous OVAL BF1 WR holder Plaztik has been banned from LTC by Darren - not that much of a problem, but instead of listening to the whole story, it seems like Darren simply has a problem with Plaztik - maybe just waited for a chance to ban him - and can´t really admit it. so instead of having to face the public, he decided to start closing and even deleting threads. I tried again to talk to him in a reasonable manner,

http://forums.livetocruise.net/index.php?topic=1623.0

but i fear he might just delete this thread again, and as far as i know, on lfsforum threads don´t get deleted as long as there´s nothing really immature or so in it. so i add a copy of the thread to this post

the original (closed) thread where Darren states why he banned Plaztik is still there, and Plaztik´s response before it was closed includes a link to the replay which was recorded before the incident. it´s not that long for a cruise replay, took me like 20 minutes to watch... so if you´re a slow reader, you might already have spent that time until you reached this point anyway, just in case that first thread gets deleted as well, here´s the replay. just curious how this goes on - and if Darren now bans all FM´s from LTC

P.S. I know there´s a banned thread in the beginners section, but if i remember correctly, it´s called "I have been banned..." which isn´t the case (yet)...

Well, just to tell you that not everyone is experiencing that problem - i´m one of those Still i can at least confirm Toddshooter´s timeouts all day long, whereever i see him, i´m sure he´ll have to reconnect sooner or later

/me is running a 4-5year old PC with still the first WXP installation, but i have no clue if it would make a difference running W2000.

It happens to me as well sometimes that the first connection attempt ends with a timeout. Mostly it happens when i try to join a server with a different track then the one before, so it´s loading & loading ... and timing out. but i don´t quit LFS, start it up & try again, i just try to connect again right away and this time it works... if i want to connect quickly, i load the track in single player before i join the server. reason is: while you connect, people on the server can´t pit/leave/spec/... it´s all blocked, u´ll find that out soon on your own.

injustice? ok ... so who do you blame for that? :nerd:

Lol, i really don´t understand that "what insim has done to us (esp. cruise)" view. It´s so... you blame a recently invented game for holding people away from the game you like? Aren´t you talking about the way people spent their free time?

Imagine someone makes it possible to play chess in World of Warcraft. I don´t see why people who are not interested in chess would now start playing it in WoW. Still you would blame the game for keeping players away from raids... i don´t think anyone has some sort of right to tell people how they should spent their free time. you invent a game, those who like it will play it, those who don´t will play other games...


enjoy the game you like!

P.S. if you are looking for races longer then 10 laps, you should think about joining a league (as mentioned earlier). those races normally go at least 1 hour.

Quote from bbman :

penalty is served when you exit the pits...

ha pfff wrong. S&G penalty is cleared as soon as you stood there for 10seconds, at the moment you accelerate again ... it´s just in the nature of a drivethrough, that it´s cleared at the exit of the pit lane.

i´ve seen this missing road quite often, it´s what you might see when you spectate someone who has a bad connection/high ping. for example a guy from chile, connected to a european server. either you give it some time (for some reason those connections are pretty bad for some minutes, but get better slowly, like from 5 seconds to 0.12 seconds ping within 15 minutes, dunno why - mysterious internet) or you just spec someone else.

don´t worry, i´m capable of logic thinking. still had o try ... acting logic is a bit different

hmm ok maybe u found a bug, maybe this is something for the "improvement suggestions" section couldnt try it out myself right now, guess when you´re alone on a server, "/midrace no" doesnt really have an effect .

copypasted from my x:\lfs\docs\commands.txt

"/vote=yes :no / yes : can guests vote to kick or ban"
"/midrace=yes X :no / yes (Join during race)"

first one is clear: it doesnt affect EVERY "vote", just the option to kick/ban

second may no be that clear ingame, cause when you´re ingame in the pit screen, it shows you 2 options: join or spec. but if you remember earlier versions of LFS, it may become clear: in pit screen, there was just an "OK" button, so when you were in car & pressed shift s, what made you leave the track to pit screen, you could only move back on track and could move on to spec from there. so i would explain it this way: there are 2 different states: spectator or not-spectator. if you leave the track to pit screen (using shift-q these days), you are not yet in spectator-mode, and may still get back on. but once you´re in "real" spec, which means you can see the track without your car being on it, then you can´t re-join as long as midrace is set to no. jumping to the pit screen does not make you a spectator....

the option choose whether you want to join or spec hasnt always been in the pit screen.

correct me if i´m wrong. and i HOPE this makes it clear

oh, this is "improvement suggestions"? alright, i want 3 ovals, 2 cheesburgers and a coke.

lol, as if there has never been a pro/contra-oval threat before

edit: damn blackout, didn´t see your post in time

Lol @ this subject, i really don´t care about ppl wearing helmets or not... tbh, like 2 months ago i bought myself a nice Logitech MOMO and was so ... how to say ... euphoric, happy like a little child on christmas, that i thought to myself it´s time for some changes - so i threw away the helmet (yes, guilty me). well, few days later i reserved one profile in LFS which uses a helmet for the CTRA servers, and then i kinda forgot about it - until i read about it here.

Well, you might think it´s just spam i write here, but i´ll come to an end soon: although i think it doesnt really matter on public servers what you wear, in leagues/events it might be different imo. My team just joined BOTT, i was in the latest race (XFR@westhill) with no helmet, and i simply want to apologise for that. just in case womeone wanna make a video out of the replays, don´t pick my car. well, chances are rare that i´ll be in the video anyway, as i wasnt on server 1 ... not in the top ten ... alright, i didnt even finish , but still, my apoligy stands, and i´ll wear proper outfit in the next BOTT race which i´ll be part of again. that´s all


btw i´m 25, and maybe it happened because i just don´t like uniforms...

Quote from amp88 :

...but I expected some people might struggle to understand.

uhm ... YEP, i understood like "apex" and "understeer" and that´s it, but i promise i´ll watch it over and over again until i got every single word of what you said there. nothing bad in trying to get used to some real scottish imo (i guess that´s what it is, and not japanese spoken by a spanish-russian guy)

/me hides

Yep, +1:ernaehrun:chairfall

I´d like to see Fragmaster´s team stats in there as well (left ... left ... left..:tilt

Was in lap 7, going into 8 (final) on start-finish, oval 3man draft with Plaztik & Failure, like 10000 times before. I had some nice draft on the straight, turned left (what else), to pass both through turn one, when a huge moth out of nowhere decided to land on my right hand - resulting in a WHATTHE****-scream and and a manouver that took out all three of us later that night i spent like 10 minutes cooking that biatch with my lighter and thinking about where on this planet they would eat it, now that it´s become krusty/crispy/youknowwhatimean

Why do you want unnameds on the server when there´s a 95%chance that they ruin the race in turn one? what is so mad about forcing them to join a server where people are not that busy racing? Are unnameds unable to play LFS just because they´re banned for 12hours from a few servers where people managed to take ... preventive action (hope you can say so in english)? There are still lots of other servers, so why should they quit playing LFS in general.. just because they can´t join 1, 2 or maybe just a few more other servers for the next 12 hours?

Ok, they might have downloaded LFS 10 minutes ago, and don´t even know that T opens the chat window. but hey, one day they WILL have to chat to others, either on forum or ingame. and if hey DONT want to deal with what´s going on around them like in the chat or on track they could as well have a look at the game in single player mode. My suggestion: ReadTheF***ingManual

P.S. I know i was banned during my first days in LFS as well, but i´m still alive, and i don´t even remember any more what i´ve done - maybe i didnt even realise that i was banned
