According to my calculations these are 2.77 miles. If you take a bicycle and ride with an average of 15 mph (not that fast) you only need about 11 minutes - for free without polluting the environment and including a free workout

Quote from Moonclaw :

Which just proves the point of critical bugfixes, nothing has been done in GTR to get rid of those poles.

The bug wasn't critical in LFS, because it was quite close to the armco at a place where you normally don't drive.

Quote from Qurpiz :

You call that lazy? I'm going to drive to the store that's 100 metres from my door. That is, after I turn 18.

Then you're not only lazy, but also crazy illepall

Here is a well written article about the riots: http://www.spiegel.de/international/

Quote from Moonclaw :

Ahem how about invisible poles of death in GTR?

One of the S1 South City configs had such a invisible pole, but now it's gone

Quote from Tweaker :

[...]Sorry if I ruined your sale or something Florian, just expressing my thoughts on what a SimSox really is

No problem, I've already sold that pair

I still have one Live for Speed Simsox in M up for sale. PM me when you are interested.

Edit: They are new, NOT used

Two comments:

- I liked the P8 font more, I think in P9 the font is a bit stretched vertically.

- I noticed that the in-game on-screen font gets blurred when I use a mip bias of 0.00 (ATI Radeon 9600, Catalyst 4.12, max quality settings).

The video is now mirrored on the Live-for-Speed.de FTP:

Not really a problem, I just want to report it: With my german keyboard layout I get a " or ! when pressing PageUp or PageDown.

Happy Birthday, thanks for the great LFS UK meeting!! :balloons:

Quote from rAcEr2418 :

how can you help noobs get better if you are one?

I don't think that someone who plays LFS for over 3 years since the 0.04 demo test versions can be called a noob. André has always been a well respected member of the community, so I can't imagine what all this fuss is about. You don't have to play on his server if you don't accept his rules, there are hundrets of other servers available.

I've received a reply now. They want to express that the resolution needs to be 300 DPI or higher. So the resolution should be 300 DPI and not 305 DPI.

What about adding these driver tips to the riving_Guide" target="_blank">LFS Wiki?

Ok, I'm leaving tomorrow morning. Cu on saturday!

I don't think a TV director mode would be too hard to program. A part of the system is already there in form of yellow flags. The virtual LFS director could just detect a yellow flag area and switch to the involved cars.

For the normal race action, variables like the distance between to cars and their position could be used to calculate the "TV priority" of each car and always switch to the car with the highes priority. Then there could be special events, like the start (wide view of the front group showing a lot of cars), pitstops and the last lap (showing the leader). With the right balancing between the different events it shouldn't differ too much from a human director. Although LFS lacks intuition and instinct it has the advantage to see all cars advance, so you would never miss an important scene.

Ok, I'll try to be at the station around 11:37. I'm going to wear a grey ATI cap

Who of you will go to the 'morning meeting' in the abbington park? I'm thinking about catching an earlier train and going there too.

Maybe something like this. Not for coding, but you could browse the LFS forum
http://www.lginternetfamily.co.uk/fridge.asp

I'm also going by train from London Euston to Northampton, so when do you guys meet at the station?

I can be there at 11:07, 11:37, 12:07, ect., depending on when you guys arrive there.

I'll be wearing a dE LFS shirt, but I probably won't be the only one

Quote from detail :

I've recently noticed that there are 36 KB of driving lessons descriptions. Translating them now.

A lot of texts are repeated in the various lesson instructions, so it's not as much as it looks. For example all the Testdrive lessons have the same instruction text.

Can you delete my misplaced "Florian Orion (IL)" entry too?
