Even if the Scirocco doesn't add a new car concept to LFS, what it does, is setting new standards in terms of know how and quality to LFS. May be not everybody benefits today from the scirocco, but it demonstrates strongly what can be done in future!

sry for being late...

So I think the idea of AI Drivers taking the car when someone disconnects is some kind of risky! Think of a close battle between 2 cars and now the AI takes the car and tries to catch the optimal racing line again and now the other car is getting touched! I don't think the other car (team) would like it that way

it could be a ghost-car as long as the AI is driving it...

I think the best and easiest way for the moment would be to punish every shift + s, shift + p and disconnect with a 1 lap penalty because I always liked the idea of taking a disconnect as a engine damage or a technical problem! I know that teams who really have a disconnect feal disadvantaged through that but we wouldn't have this discussion if everyone would have behaved fair.

i can remember, that we had a disconnect just before start/finish-line. -2 laps just because of bad luck is pretty hard to take

yeah i know, that scawen can't implement such a feature in 5 min. i just thought, the idea is to good not to post it but may be scawen is reading it and puts it on his very own list of stuff that should be done ... and someday in the future we may have it

I understand the point of shorty, but to discuss every single disconnect means a lot more work for the admins.

I think, the only way to solve this problem needs the help of scawen!

you may know it from online poker. in that moment you suddenly disconnect, the software takes over from you until you reconnect.

It could be a serverside option, that if a player suffers a disconnect, an LFS-AI takes over the car and bring it back to the pits. so the player can rejoin and continue driving the same car he drove before! nobody can gain an advantage, and you don't loose a lap if it happens.

#08 - mb.racing

if you look at the tyres or the brakes, it is for sure a DTM car...

quite nice video from fiorano F2008 test today on you tube:

Happy birthday scawen!

Sounds like the Brazil fuel incident with Benetton/Williams in 1994 ... so I guess, it will not affect the drivers championship.

As the first qualifying of the new season isn't far away anymore, I was wondering, if there are any updates planned or available for us skinners.

hehe, may be they should add an "airfield-racetrack" to get those customers more excited

The AVSIM Online News:

Fun on Four Wheels!

Posted: Wednesday, August 8, 2007 - 11:30
Maybe the idea of driving a "Follow Me" car round an airport doesn't do it for you? Maybe you want something with four wheels and no wings, but a bit faster than the pushback tug? Feelthere may have just the thing for you, with their Live for Speed "Ultimate Racing Simulator".

Described as a "serious racing simulator. No arcade modes, no steering aids - YOU have to do the driving", you can race against the AI but the real fun is to be found online, in multiplayer mode.

To find out more, head down the back straight, through the chicane, and into the Feelthere Website.



Found it on: http://www.avsim.com/

A bit strange that they say it's "their" simulation...

ok, blame on me! sry

Quote from ethan520 :

And anyway, LFS tells us oversized g forces eg. 1g crashing at 20km/h
120g crashing at 220km/h

amazing, how a demo racer could know that!?

well, the reviewer has no clue what lfs is about. beside that it's ok

There are a few quite nice servers runnig the FO8, where u can have good races! For example the EVERLAST-RACING server runs mostly FO8, with a lot of nice guys from OWRL DivA online.

the cp-car disappeared already before the oval, and confused our driver quite a lot. We know that cp isn't responsible for that, but the whole situation was surely a huge advantage for them.

Again, if Frank says we are 6th, we are fine with it. But from our point of view, it was not a fair overtaking, although cp was not responsible for it!

and we all still knew that robert was not able to defend the overtaking as the car was invisible for him...

well, we will accept what ever frank will decide...

Ok, i see a new rule coming: Skins have to be used over 2 complete Seasons to reduce stress for our rendering-artists.

Well, don't get me wrong, i know renderings are not done in 5min... but would be nice to have them done till the end of the season.

mb.racing is in

drivers:

- Joachim "steak" Breme - GER
- Sebastian "EasyBoy" Gruner - GER
- André "foofighter" Louis - GER
