I have a problem related with TeamSpeak messages. Something causes LFSRelax to exit, but I'm not sure what. Possibly people joining or quitting the channel. All I see when it happens is a message in LFS that says something like "Insim application closed". This crash doesn't occur when I turn TeamSpeak messages off from LFSRelax's config file. But when they're enabled, it always crashes soon or later.

Am I the only one to see this?

As I said, Sam, I got and saw yellow flags with the GT2 on the Cadet's finish straight that's part of Aston Grand Prix. I don't have a replay, though.

I was on Race 2 last evening, driving the FZR GT2, and I got and saw lots of yellow flags at AS5R, particularly on Cadet's final straight (even when being flat-out). I believe this is caused by LFS not taking the intake restriction into account when determining the speed under which you trigger a yellow flag.

Thank you, Christofire, but there's no report number as I couldn't file it in the first place. Not a big problem, though. I'm sure those guys I meant to report won't get any cleaner (at least in the next few years) and they'll have lots of other occasions to be reported.

Thanks, mates, but that's not the problem. You have to fill out all the fields to enable the OK button, but the problem was that I couldn't: clicking on Driver didn't give me the driver selection screen, clicking on Replay didn't give me the replay selection screen, and so on. The only buttons that worked were Description and Cancel.

I also have three pending reports whose oldest is 10 days old, now, BTW. That's why I thought that reporting might be disabled on purpose.
Is reporting disabled, or broken, or something?

Earlier tonight I wanted to file a report, but the only button that worked was "Description". The others had no effect at all. Is it just me?

X-System is currently down on SS1.

Thanks for the feedback and the +1's.

You can do what you want, but it may not be very handy:

Once you've set the cameras for a given car—let's say the RB4, for example—go to your LFS\data folder. There you'll find a folder named "views" and four folders named "views_cam*" (where * is a number). In each of these folders, duplicate the file named "RB4.cvw", and name the copy with the code of another car (for example "UF1.cvw"). That will duplicate the corresponding RB4's cam for the UF1.

And now you see why I said that it wouldn't be very handy.

It was triggered by Alonso claiming that the last set of tyres fitted to his car during Chinese's Q3 had been overinflated on purpose to help Hamilton getting on pole.

Edit: link.

Well, I reported someone yesterday for just doing that, so it's not like we cannot do anything about it.

On CTRA Race 1, it's been 3 or 4 races (at least) that $track has been saying that track changes at next restart. But it doesn't.

Update: of course, thanks to Murphy's law, the track changed at the next restart after I posted that.

Brilliant!

Very nice! But I hope you're using FlipCams. If you're not, it would allow you much more flexibility.

Thank you for the link! That fight between Massa and Kubica is just perfect!

Meh... no buttons, no paddles, battery powered pedals...

No, thanks.

Good riddance indeed! I'd like Montagny to get his wheel, but I'm afraid it's not going to happen.

Quote from Intrepid :I would agree but it's probably sponsorship obligations... probs somewhere in the contract of the people directing the feed to show the leader crossing the line first... and lets face if your Santander paying all that money, your team winning, and then not getting any exposure you would be narked...something a long those lines.....

but i agree yh for sure... shame we missed a bit of the battle

Yeah, you're probably right about having to do it by contract. But they could find ways to show both at the same time, if they bothered. And anyway, the director missed a lot of action during the rest of the race, too.

Quote from zeugnimod :And anyway, how stupid must you be to start with intermediates under these conditions?

A bit strange, if you ask me.

Depends on the weather forecast you got. Since the start was behind the SC, if the rain had stopped the track might have dried enough during the SC period for the intermediate tyres to be an advantage. It was an aggressive strategy, not a stupid one, IMO.

Great race! But the TV director was quite bad. What's the point of showing LH cruising his last lap, while Räikkönen passes Kovalainen who passes him back?! That's what I wanted to see, FFS!

Gotta love the names of his setups, too (roll, bounce, crash...).

Nothing more than a wrecker.

I use LHD and metric system IRL, and RHD and British units in LFS (because my team is England-based and most of my team mates are English).

Quote from ajp71 :I reckon A was the driver that caused that, all over the place and cut across car C. Car B shouldn't have come down like he did and car C was too optimistic, still without an idiot in car A I doubt they'd have crashed.

That's how I see it too. B and C stayed in their lane so their path was foreseeable. A was the one swerving around. Also he didn't have to go that low to pass B, and if had used the middle lane, C wouldn't have thought about passing between them.

No, but I must tell you why. When Mike told me the figure, it was so radically different from ours
that there was no way that our care could ever achieve that. The whole philosophy of our car was
--------------------------------. We had managed to-----------------------------------------. There was
no point. At the previous stage, I thought the information might be important and that we could try
it in the simulator, but then the figures were so different.
