Quote from Racon :If even one single bit is changed in the file, the md5 won't match. What else is there to care about in this case?

The problem is that the md5 hashes are not unique: Two files can in theory have the same md5. With some fiddling it is possible to purposely create two different files that have the same md5. See the entries on this blog:
https://natmchugh.blogspot.de/2014/10/how-i-made-two-php-files-with-same-md5.html
For practical purposes it would be more difficult though.

Quote :think of it like wearing a seatbelt,

imo it is more like wearing a seatbelt in a car with airbags BUT not wearing a helmet. Everybody can in theory think of a serious crash scenario where the helmet might give you extra protection, but in 99% of cases the seatbag and airbags are good enough. And in the 1% cases the helmet might not even matter.

Hi
These replays of event 6 do not parse:
http://abnl.racemore.de/mpres/league/S3/3/
The page says:
Quote :Fehler: (0.6R)

Maybe mpRes needs update for new LFS version?
I attached two 0.6R mpr files if you need to test..

Quote :if I'm right the only leagues available are S3 (As in Season 3, or S3 License..?) and Formula League (What type?)

S3 league = all cars and tracks of LFS (with some limits: no rallyetracks etc)
Cup = seperate championship every third sunday. currently it is FBM Cup with sprint & main races.
In past there were Rally Cups, F1, Fz5 with success-ballast,..and other such stuff that is bit different formats.

K.Kivilo :
I think races are usually very clean, but with GTR cars there is always potential for "surprises." cu Smile

I do not always spend two hours tweaking my race setup.
But when I do, half the time goes into finding good rim color.

Did you make copies of these folders?
data\setups
data\layout
data\skins
If yes then just copy them into the new install.
If you had custom textures or other stuff, then also copy it into the new install and overwrite the existing files.

1) register with email and stuff at https://www.cesav.es/foro/index.php?action=register
2) admin activates your profil (might take some time?)
3) log in at site ( menu at right side)
4) next race is this one: https://www.cesav.es/index.php?pid=12&idTemp=100&idRace=493
5) click register
6) it says something about "blabla license", click the link and fill in the details in the profile-page that opens..

for the next steps I am unsure...

7) click register, now it will work
8) now one is pre-registered Omg omg omg
9) server info: https://www.cesav.es/foro/index.php?topic=1442.0 "Para subir las repeticiones" is the list of passwords or so. The last entry works for the qualy server.

....and now I am stuck. I connect to server but the insim does not let me join track:

I managed to register for the next race..I think. Site is not so easy to use, on english setting only some parts are translated. At first I did not understand why it did not work, had to fill out profile details or something..
After registration on the site one has to set a time on the qualy server?

check if LFS is really used the dedicated videocard and not some onboard-graphics chip or if some power-saving options are enabled

What he meant to say:
your joy in this pityful human existance is a meaningless dim glimmer in the black void of space as this funeral planet rolls on decaying orbit around a dying sun soon to vanish into the nothingness which had spit it into existance. all we can do until the reptile gods will devour us alive is to post on the lfs forum.
Ya right

Quote from MousemanLV :Anything below 1 is either in Alpha or Beta, Gutholz.

For projects in continuous open-ended development it does not make sense. After 14 years Inkscape (graphics editor) is still only at v0.92 but nobody would think about when its beta-phase will end.
Or a more popular example:
VLC video player took eight years to reach version 1.0 but it was widely used before then without thought of alpha/beta. When version 1.0 of VLC came along it did not mean anything special: after years of counting up it simply had gotten to "1" eventually.

Quote :Increased LOD distances of humans / drivers / marshalls

Maybe possible for cars too?
Sometimes at some distances the smaller details (like the wire-things that hold the hood on GTR cars) blink in and out.

Quote from MousemanLV :When will we be out of beta :kappa:

i think there has been no alph/beta tags since some years, it is just the numbers and letters now.

Quote from Eclipsed :So what should I do now? What would be your suggestion to avoid this "conflict"?

calender looking and use your knowledge about lfs scene Wink
https://www.lfs.net/leagues/calendar
For example in last weeks there was there was RTFR and that spanish MRT Cup, both on same tuesdays. It worked to race both events but it is rare. Often it did not work out because events overlapped. Sometimes the overlap is just 30minutes or so, but that is enough to miss one..unnessecarily.

Or take for example the cityliga league on mondays, a time that seemed to suit people. Now bit ago the saison ended and between saisons cl always has a break. If during the break another league was running at same time, I would race there because it fits my rythm already anyway.

Quote : is it so that the main server to which all players connect when trying to play online races is a single point of failure? When it is offline, no one can connect any online play?

I thought when the master server is down just the server-list/browser does not work anymore. But you can still connect to servers directly?
But uptime seems very good anyway..
