Fred Loves Pie Racing (FLP/r) is looking to expand?
That's right. You may read all about it here.

On this day, three years ago Fred Loves Pie Racing (FLP/r) was born. Since then we've managed to bring home nomerous trophies in leagues such as OLFSL, LXCC, Triple Double Cup, Torsdagsrace and several others. This is something that we are very proud of considering that FLP/r has always had a very small line-up with only 7 drivers or less.

From here on in, we are looking to partake in bigger leagues such as IGTC, ITCC or even MoE - Basically any league that requires a team effort, either by enforcing driver swaps or simply by the fact that the races are endurances.

For that reason, we are now looking to expand our line up with roughly 5 additional drivers.

To allow us to meet potential members we are organizing a fun-event that is planned to take place on June 9th. So, if you are interested in joining the team, please take part in that event. You may read more about the event here.
It would also a be a good idea to register at our forum so you can start to get to know us!

If you'd like to know more about the team, have a look at our latest movie: 3 years of FLP/racing!
Our biography, list of drivers and trophy cabinet or website may also be of interest!

Um [...] i dunno [...] but, duhh [...]

There are over 4000 threads in the improvement suggestions forum. It would obviously be impossible for Scawen to comment on even half of the ideas presented there.

Instead, he is keeping an eye on the forum. Most definitely.

Quote from aroX123 :

show some respect.

Oh, please ...

Albeit the point being off topic I would like to point out that according to the forum rules, you are not allowed to re-sell LFS licences:

Quote from http://www.lfsforum.net/privacy.htm :

6) It is not allowed to (re)sell your LFS license on this forum. In fact, it is not allowed in general to sell your LFS license, as is the case with any license.

This statement is, however, from what I can gather, in conflict with the LFS end-user agreement (which has no mention of it) and this post by Scawen (in which he points out that it is not "banned", but frowned upon).

Perhaps a rewrite of the forum rules would be in place to avoid confusion.

These are my roots.

With Jason's place being my destination on the Friday it appears as if my best options for travelling by plane are either Cardiff or Bristol. Does anyone have any suggestion on how I should continue my journey from there? By bus or train?

If someone who is travelling close to that area would like to cut their petrol costs I'd be willing to split the cost ...

Jason,

I would also like to stay at your place throughout the entire weekend if there's room for me. It'd be really nice to spend some quality time with you and the other guys plus it'd save me a lot of hassle (not having to book a hotel / bring a tent from sweden and what not).

I will look into a travel plan in the next (few) week(s).

I am going to make sure that I make it!

Deposit standing by ...

Naming and shaming your ISP is all very well and good, but what about the EU Parliame ... proposed Telecom Package? I'm shocked!

(Please use Google's cache until the site is up and running again!)

Yep! The release for patch Y is compatible with patch Z.

(By the by, there is an "edit" button if you want to fix previous posts.)

Sounds like tons of fun, Jason. I will definitely schedule my summer so I can make it to this meet.

Thank GOD for iCON racing! (xvid, ~4MiB)

Here's a replay of the first hour if anyone should be interested in having a look at the start or something.

The problem is most likely a router or firewall. Please read this guide thoroughly.

Spending a lot of time implementing different mods, advertising your server on other forums, and mucking about with Hamachi just to get the game running are probably a good indications that the software is worth purchasing ...

Quote from [SWE]RE :

I would have to change that in LFS right? To 16:9.. although, I can't find any option to do that. Or am I wrong?

There's no "16:9 option" but there are resolutions that happen to be 16:19 such as 640x360, 1024x576, 1280x720 or 1600x900.

If you do not have any 16:9 resolutions available in LFS for some reason you could always use an application such as Sizer, create a preset, and then apply that preset on the LFS window.

Copied from the sign up thread on the swedish forum:

Quote from Martin.S :

You are not allowed to rejoin after telepitting, even if it's on the first lap.
(When qualifying telepit is allowed of course)

Simply editing the .cfg-file won't do. The extra functionality you see on some servers is made available by third-party software such as those zeug directed you to. And for the record, Redline Racing is using LFSLapper.

Quote from Kalev EST :

Now it´s cruising, drifting, destruction derby, banger racing or demo servers and at best a few S2 race servers with more than 5 people in them.

Here's a recent snapshot of the_angry_angel's Stats Thingy ("a simple stats page that fetches data from LFSWorld and makes 'useful' graphs for those who run servers") which I edited to add "categories":



Luckily for us, Thanks to Scawen cruise servers can easily be filtered out.

It appears as if you are required to install extra software to be able to watch the stream, I believe that might scare one or two people off. Did you consider using Mogulus? It only requires Flash which is installed on 99% of all internet-enabled PCs.

Quote from Citywidemicke :

And here u have stats
http://torsdagsrace.liveforspeed.se/racehistorik

And here u have broadcast!

Ah, yes! Totally! I can't believe three years have passed already!

The aforementioned broadcast is now available on the Torsdagsrace website.

Thanks again to everyone who helped me test the server.

Edit: Oh, race statistics can be found here.
