I use it from time to time to signal my presence when a guy I'm overtaking didn't see me and starts closing on me. And in this case I only blow it one or two brief times. So I find it useful and I vote no.
But I've seen people overusing it and I agree that it's annoying. So how about a new penalty for overusing it? Something like a drive through if you used it up to a total of 5 seconds in a race, a stop and go if you used it up to a total of 10 seconds, and so on.

Super, merci !
The only reason why I've only been on SS2 a few times is because it's always empty. I've tried a couple of times to stay there alone for half an hour or so, hoping people would join, but those who tried were kicked for not having a National license. 
I voted yes.
Edit: congrats about your new license, BTW!

I didn't realize there are so many new drivers every day.
Looks very good. Well done! Best of luck signing advertisers and TV coverage!
Of course it's a dictatorship. If someone you invited at a party took a dump behind your couch, would you kick him out, or would you organize a poll?
If CTRA decided to implement something like that, I think a one or two hours weekly session would work fine. As I see it, only people with no CTRA license could take part, and the CTRA admins would watch the replays and decide who gets a copper/clubman license (which would then be required to access the first tier servers). People who wouldn't get their license immediately (and weren't banned) could try again the next time, so they would have a week to practice. And those we'd rather not have on CTRA servers would either give up after a couple of times, or improve.
Personally I don't think that such an entry license is required at the moment, though. Now that the novelty factor has started fading, there aren't that many very bad drivers anymore.

Yeah, I got the same from Safari on Mac. The problem really seems to be at Gmail.
Hi Gai-Luron, there are a few things in LFSRelax that bug me:
Ingame and fuel info aren't always displayed or updated:
- If you go to multiplayer directly after you launched lfs & lfsRelax, splits and fuel work fine (except that fuel stops working as soon as the combo changes).
- If instead you watch a mpr, the splits work, but not the fuel, even when you go to multiplayer or single player next.
- If you go directly to single player, splits and fuel won't work. If you go to multiplayer next, splits will work, but not fuel.
It would be cool if splits/fuel and gaps were cleared when the race ends and you're sent to the lobby. At the moment, if some info is no longer calculated, it remains displayed.
It would also be very cool to have a hotkey to hide/show ingame info. At the moment, shift+b hides it, but as soon as it's updated, it appears again.
Thank you!

Back to topic: how about your average finish position?
You still can find the correct replay (if you haven't deleted your original report yet). Find the report in your MyCTRA page, click on Edit, and you'll be able to select another replay. The one you're looking for is probably the next one after the one you got. Once you've selected it and saved the changes, you can download it and check if it's the right one.
Driver B, no doubt! B couldn't possibly pass A back at the 2nd apex, because on the line and at the speed he was, his track-out was already occupied by A. The only way he could have avoided the accident was by lifting and tightening the corner.
Official or unofficial versions? If you're using unofficial versions (versions you're not supposed to use, I mean), then don't be surprised.
I don't want to sound like I'm lecturing you, but each build comes with a list of known and pending issue, and things (like install methods) that aren't supported yet. So if you get them from unofficial sources, you probably miss lots of indispensable info.
I only have working Macs, so maybe you are the problem?
And this site will probably get more hits in the coming week than in its whole existence.
Another couple of tips to make sure it's not a false report:
- Wait for the next race to start before you fill out the report. From X-System point of view, a race ends only when the next one begins, and the replay becomes available in the list only at this point (this confused me at first).
- Get a link to download the replay emailed to you (requires you to set your email address, obviously), and check the replay before submitting the report (I've decided not to submit some reports at that point because only the replay showed that an accident had been caused by lag and not with malicious intentions). When you file a report from within LFS and click OK, the report is stored but not submitted. You have to go to your MyCTRA page on the website to submit (or delete) it.
- When watching the replay, don't look only at the incident that involved you, but check your "opponent's" behavior in the rest of the race. If the guy is clean the rest of the time, grant him the benefit of the doubt. He may have been disturbed IRL, or something. If he's always dirty, then he definitely deserves to be reported.

The problem that most people are complaining about is not the difficulty to drive with high winds, but the difficulty to score points. I've been in some races (on SS1) where no one got any point because even without crashing, the wind can take several seconds out of your lap time.
I don't think you get that kind of error when you've been banned (but I can be wrong). However, I'm sure that if you've been banned, you can see it mentioned on your MyCTRA page. Go to http://www.raceauthority.com/ and click on MYCTRA.
Make sure that dust hasn't accumulated into your computer's air-holes, as this is symptomatic of an overheating card.
I've often seen similar artifacts, until I installed ATI Tool and set it to override the fan speed in order to keep my card's temperature under 60°C.

I use high res mods (tracks, skies, interiors, tyres, suits, etc), LFSRelax, and FlipCams all the time. I use other stuff occasionally, like LFS Replay Analyzer, AnalyzeForSpeed, LFS Fast Forward, etc.
I think it would be great if all LFS tracks were open environments and the tracks as we know them were actual layouts. So anyone could load the Fern Bay area in the layout editor and create a new track by adding barriers, start and splits, defining the pits to use (or not) and saving it as Fern Bay Red, or Pink, or whatever.
The beauty of it would be that with the current layouts system, you could join a race on any of these new tracks without the need to download anything.

Happened to me once. I found it funny, actually. Of all places where it could have chosen to do that stunt, it had to be right in front of me.
I just blew gently on it and presto it climbed up back to the ceiling. None of us crashed.
I like them too. But we don't have Black Widows, here.
