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.
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.
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
No race today because of the ongoing 24h DOP.
Of course servers can be used for practice, upcoming race next sunday 29th is:
XRR & FZR at Westhill International
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.
7) click register, now it will work
8) now one is pre-registered
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?
Today with the first S3 league race of the new year the FBM gets a bit more space at South City Long reversed (SO4R)
(not more spacious in sideways direction)
qualy begins in circa 40 minutes from this post at 19:30 CET
yoyoyo thread-hijack with product information for all tuesday-racers:
On next tuesdays http://www.virtualgp.es/ runs a formular cup with FBM. The times are so that one can first drive in RTFR and afterwards there.

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.
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.
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.
calender looking and use your knowledge about lfs scene 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.
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..
