Too much yadda yadda going on. This is round 1. This is a league to learn and make progress. Much more rounds to go. Let it go, take a deep breath and see you in Kyoto folks.

:bunny:

'83 US GP West at Long Beach

See, you can overtake on a street circuit.

Aah, that was very nice to see, thanks for sharing!
I wasn't even born back then, a shame. Such nice racing.

Thanks for the replies, tiny bit above my budget but we'll see what I can find...

Though you have all the rights to brag, it looks very fine indeed!
Take the racing easy though, don't end up in the weekend newspaper..

What's a good price these days for a (new) G25 ?

Thinking of upgrading from my MS Sidewinder FF. Still a perfect working wheel without any scratches, but I've been told that the G25 is a much better wheel; better pedal reactions, better FF, more feel with the ingame happenings and more fun with the shifter. G27 is too expensive for my student budget and there are not much other options I believe, aside Fanatec, though I'd rather get a G25 then for no real reason...

I do have a small, somewhat unsteady table. Parents once bought a 'computer closet' for me, but the keyboard-mouse placing part is so fragile and bowed like this, can't hook up the wheel under it.. Would it work for a G25 ? Or would the small own made table hold the G25+shifter, is it heavier than a MS Sidewinder FF ? Also, is 71cm lenght enough for the wheel+shifter ?

Thanks upfront!

Windows Vista, just recently I'm using Windows 7 Pro and will continue to use that.

Thanks Ki-Men.

Quote from de Souza :

Judging by your qualify time I was kinda looking forward to meeting you on track Gianni, but my race was terrible as you all know.

See you next race.

Good racing everyone, a first endurance race experience is always tricky, but overall it went well for everyone.
Thanks NDR for hosting and broadcast.

Congratulations to T7R for the win!

GianniC ,something is wrong on picture GTAL_round1_4.pngillepall

Yeah, my mirror is full black. Going to have to find out how to get image in it again, damn resetted LFS options.

Started 18th. The start was messy. The double file didn't work well due to short last line; while front cars started speeding up, the backmarkers were still getting into two lines. And when in the back we somewhat were in two lines, the green flag waved. I also had a sort of "jumpstart", not as impressive as SRS's start but I also gained 3 places on the straight alone, simply by starting to speed up when green flag was waved. That's what you get for reading and understanding the rules . Some spins in turn 1, closely avoided a car standing with it's nose in front of me. All going nice until turn 2... The wind was ****ing annoying. Was 15th on that moment.

My tyres were still a bit cold, didn't really warmed them up in that SC lap as I was being careful on the speeding-slowing down traffic in front (how hard is it to just drive the same speed...) and wanted to avoid the misshap as I experienced in Round 0. Got turn 2 a lot wrong because of that wind, tryed to push a bit more elsewhere on the track but it never worked out. Made one nice pass in the chikane, gained another spot as a car spun in the last turn by going on the grass. 12th position at this moment. Tyres got hot because of that and I started to lose places (not only by being slow but also by being hit two times by others, not very mint...), from 18th to 12th and back to 24th. I obviously could not get into my pace, not sure why... maybe the nerves, not enough experience with the car or other. It just all felt bad and obviously went bad. Also spun it once for giving too nicely a blue flag passage and getting for a bit into the grass. For the rest the race was okay. Shame of Paul his disconnects, we could have ended more midfield without those, oh well. Paul did a good job with little preparation, thanks for that Paul.

I do hate the S2 Blackwood GP.
The S1 Blackwood GP was so nice, this one is horrible.

Lets move on to Round 2. Thanks NDR for hosting and broadcast, good job as usual. I hope in Round 2 we can have a better start with a nice double lined up grid and that we have no wind in the race. Also; NO CHAT was given when the grid was being set up, yet lots of people chatted... no penalty. I have no objection at all to these harsh and little detail rules, in fact I love them (unlike Paul ), but go through with the penalties and keep everything fair and open for all. Saying that there won't be a penalty now because it's Round 1 is nonsense to me, we had the testrace for a reason!

Good luck all, have fun!

PS: Wind sucks

Quote from MuderGO[LT] :

Today was just a horrible day, I didn't even know it was possible for it to happen, the first lap of the qualification and I was already on my roof, it all happened in sector 3 in the schicane. Split's were pretty good 0:18.63 and 0:48.21 but that damn schicane ruined it all.

You know, that's my big advantage, I crawl so slow over the track that the chikane looks like one big straight to me, thus it's nearly impossible for me to flip there

Nevermind, found it.
A simple:

/server irc.gamesurge.net

Someone knows how to go from quakenet.org IRC server to the gamesurge.net IRC server ?

Well done Tristan!

I've also been looking at the Monoposto Racing Club website, those prices given for the racing are not thàt expensive indeed (for motorsport racing). I wonder if there's something like MRC in Belgium...

Quote from dekojester :

Also, the race will be broadcasted ! It'll be on our livestream page at livestream.com/ndrtv - Wilko and Falke will be there with all the action, starting from just before 1800 UTC.

Public humiliation, yes!

Just a little thank you to 'Something Awful' for giving me the final push to get back in the pitlane when I had ran out of fuel at the end of the qualify.

Good qualify in Pool 2, I did horrible, but it was good racing with everyone giving enough room to eachother. I like it!

That IRC stuff really is not easy at all. I understand the reasons behind it but... euh...

Quote from Dangerous Dave :

I think I stopped at the start of 2004 while being involved with the Boomerang Rapido team (which I think has changed name, disappeared etc long ago) anyone from back in the day still here?

Several of ex-BR and other back then present teams are still around; T7R & SCCC for example.
Some of us refound eachother in nfinity as well or the various other teams around like F1RST, SR, ... No despair, we are still here!

Good to see you back, ooh, where are those good old S1 BL1 XF GTi days!

Nice racing all, was very enjoyable to watch!
Great commentary also. Excellent.

Pedal problem is fixed, no idea what it was but suddenly it was fixed again.

A question if you don't mind:
Is there an improvement of the netcode in LFS sheduled somewhere soon ?
It would be really awesome to make useful use of the racer slots, eg. endurance races, and have a lot less very annoying (and really stupid) disconnects during such events.

Cause VW and a new track is all giggly fun, but what I personally care about is the netcode, damage-and tyre models improvements (and such simulation important aspects).

Hmm. Weird. I don't really know a specific solution for the problem I'm afraid. I now and then also have "did not received x info". I just try to reconnect then and it works then...

Do you have a clean LFS Z25 installation ?
Did you correctly unlocked LFS S2 ?
