Quote from JO53PHS :

Why do the US police waste money on junk such as that Cadillcrap Escapefail? Seriously... what do they intend to do with such a heap of crap?

They only buy a very small number of them compared to other squad cars, I'm pretty sure the Escalade in my last post is for special cases because I NEVER see them around.

They have a couple of these in my city LOL



We have quite a few Chargers now as well


Most of the cop cars in Tulsa are Chargers, Crown Vics, or Impalas.

Did you set (or use) your GAMEpassword?

Try moving the FF effects in the Profiler to 102%, because for some reason when it's set to below 101 things get screwy.

Why did the dashboard change for XRR and UFR, they are eh, not my liking

Because they are GTR cars. The UFR is rough and unfinished though.

Not for long

Quote from maxelmar :

I want to take back what I said about the devolopers being pathetic, not very respectable of me.
But I've waited long for a decent answer or a fix for this problem, nothing yet, a new patch gets you all excited but still you can't enjoy the game (and the new patch)

It's not hard to update your graphics drivers. nVidia card? Drivers are at www.nvidia.com

ATi card? Drivers will be found at www.amd.com

End of qualifying run-

UFR\UFX WHEEL BUG

The UFR is nowhere near finished. It will be in a patch after Z I think.

Also, an IndyCar going around Indianapolis can reach speeds of up to 235-240 MPH on the long straights. Maybe we will get lucky and Scawen might put a Dallara lookalike into the game

The Dallara IndyCar has about 650 HP IIRC, but there would be no point restricting the BF1 since it has so much downforce slowing it down even with the wing angles at 0 degrees.

Actually, it would be a good idea. You would have to make more than one or two pitstops, so it would be more like the real thing.

Forcing dx10 is just stupid, we should make use of dx8/9 first.

+ I'm not going to install Vista on any of my systems again, it's just rubbish.

There will be newer operating systems than Vista by the time S3 is out, such as Windows 7 and maybe newer.

Quote from racer hero :

Not at blackwood...That was Kyoto. Blackwood, no one rejoined because the rules were changed.

A couple of people blatantly broke the rules and rejoined not only the server, but went back on track.

Quote from r4f@ :

im sorry, aftermarket heatskink (dont understand) Can you show me a picture so i can know what it is? You mean a cooler?

Yes, it's a cooler. The stock 4850 cooler is junk, and an aftermarket Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 Rev. 2 is cheap and much better.

They make a pair of fans for it if you want it to run cooler.

Quote from NitroNitrous :

Don´t worry guys, we can leave the AutoX as it is now because according to this thread we will have an airport track.

And where does it say that?

Quote from Jamesisinthehouse12 :

no... nvidia has taken it over now... and will be avalibe to almost any graphics card (2 or 3 years old... :P)
By the way I have a 8600 GT and I know quite a few with sli 8800 gt's and 8800GT single (great car too )
anyway... the lfs dev's don't need this, I was just putting it out there

I would reccomend a newer direct x tho... dx9 and/or dx10 dx9 at least... and still have support for dx8.

I am guessing that will be S3 tho

I'm thinking DX10 should definately be used. Anyone still using XP by the time S3 is released is an idiot IMO.

Quote from Jamesisinthehouse12 :

yeah... that's what reminded me... the 4000 ati series won't be supported said the creator (he said he is not that happy with amd at the moment)

I seriously doubt nVidia would let that software get to the public for Radeon cards, because PhysX is liscensed to nVidia.

Quote from Falcon140 :

No its not...

Read the bloody rules!

Quote from lizardfolk :

Basic Rules
There are a few Basic rules to follow during a LFSCAR: SC race.

How the LFSCAR: SC will be administrated
The admins are there to be your guide. They are not there to spot and penalize every single minor and controversial infraction. This is literally impossible unless we have a 10 man admin team. But since we dont, the admins are there to help guide/control the race. However, just because controversial and minor infractions will be penalized after the race. This doesn't mean they wont penalize you for outlandish behavior. Any blatant disregard for the rules and competitors will be penalized on the spot. However, as I stated before, we feel that it is best to have time to review any controversial incident (such as contact that results in a wreck) carefully and thus penalities will have to be given after the race

Contact
Stock car racing is often characterized by contact. Therefore, contact is allowed in LFSCAR: SC but only reasonable contact. For example, if you've made an attempt to avoid and slow your car down but still accidentally took out someone. Then you will not be penalized. However, if you have a blatant disregard for other competitors you will be penalized. Also, if you are involved in more than five incidents you will be place under review. Just because trading paint is allowed that doesn't mean you don't need to be careful while racing. Do your best to avoid contact.

Restarting
I'll keep this simple: Track is free once "Green Flag" is waved. But you are not allowed to gain a position before the green flag is waved

Bump Drafting
Bump Drafting is allowed, but you are required to gain consent. Consent of those who wouldn't mind bump drafting will post in the forums as proof of their consent. Also, bump drafting is not allowed on turns. You can only bump draft on the straightaways.


Yellow Flag
There is no racing to the line. Once an admin calls for a yellow flag start slowing down to 80 mph and maintain that speed. Do not overtake once the caution period is initiated and if you get over taken, calmly let the admin know and keep your cool. DO NOT CALL OUT CAUTIONS ON YOUR OWN. The admins will go by a system to call cautions and by this system only. That system is 3 or more cars involved in an accident. But those 3 cars has to be rendered stationary (spin counts). If 2 cars crash but a third car scrapes by that is not considered a caution.

The field is frozen the moment the caution quick chat is displayed on the screen. If you are racing side by side with another driver and unable to determine who was ahead of who just give the inside guy the position and inquire a check to the admins calmly. DO NOT FORCE ANY POSISTION


Blue Flag
You are allowed to disregard the Blue Flag. It would be preferable to follow it, but leaders will be warned that cars about to be lapped are allowed to try and fight for the position and hope for a caution. However, again, blatant disregard for others will not be tolerated. You may fight, but don't fight to the death. If the leader is just plain faster than you just kindly let them go.


Black Flag
If a black flag is waved at a competitor, that competitor must come into the pits. The competitor has 2 laps to respond to the black flag or else he will be kick from the race and be registered as a DNF.

A Black Flag may be waved to someone who either:
Is struggling with his/her car (either by damage or wrong set)
Show very poor driving standards


Passing Before the Start/Finish Line
During a restart, if you pass before the start/finish line, one lap will be added to your time for a first offense. A second offense will result in a black flag


Lucky Dog Rule
There will be a lucky dog rule for the lapped down cars. When the race is under caution, there will be a double file restart. Lapped down cars will be on the outside while lapped down cars will be on the inside. If there's a dispute between places just hold your ground and let the admin know. After one lap of caution period the admin will notion for the lucky dog to regain a lap back. Do not make a move to regain your lap until you are notified by the admin.


Provisionals
Provisionals will only be used if more drivers show up than the limited amount (in a normal race more than 31, in the short track oval more than 16). If this happens, then those who are within the top 60% of all the cars in the owners points gets to race no matter the time they put down. (They of course have to show up to qualify). Let me repeat. Among those who showed up, the top 60% in owners points will get a provisional. The rest will have to race their way in.

Cars
The Cars that'll be used is the XRT.

Pit Lane
Like the LFSCART, the official entry and exit to pit lane will be marked my cones. Failure to follow this will result in a penalty. If you are forced in to the cones then you will not be penalized.

Blocking
Blocking is allowed but only to an extent. If the car is on the verge of overtaking you, then you must give the right of way. Blatant disregard for others will not be tolerated.

Chatting
Chatting will go by this:
1st unnecessary chat - warning
2nd unnecessary chat - kick
3rd unnecessary chat - ban and DQed for the race

The rule will start once qualifying starts

Tire Warming
I'm sorry, but there will be no warming tire/cleaning tires/swerving allowed. Drivers should stay in a tight formation during caution laps. Do not speed up/slow down during yellow flag laps. During a caution/prerace laps a double file formation will almost always be formed so please absolutely no tire warming techniques.

Pit Stops
Drivers should remain in the lowest possible line when preparing to make a pit stop. Do not try to pit from the high line, and do not drift up on the track before turning onto pit road.

When exiting the pits during green flag stops, drivers may only come back onto the racing surface when it safe to do so. Do not come back on the track directly out of the pits. When merging onto the track, drivers must stay on the apron (the lowest line that's not banked) until the indicated cones end. Just follow the cones and signs, dont cause a wreck and you'll be fine.

Conduct
We expect all of the participants to conduct themselves maturely. In and out of the league. If you end up on the loosing end of a situation during a race, just be mature and calm about it. If you feel someone does something ignorant that costed you the race, again, be calm and mature. Inquire about it in the forums, or if completely necessary (person violates something over and over again and the admins dont catch it) just calmly let the admins know. There is never a place for revenge on the track

Telepitting/Immediate Spectate
Telepitting and or spectating suddenly is not allowed. Because a broadcast is planned, sudden teleporting from the track is not allowed, even if you are potentially dangerous to collect other people.

Disconnected
Unfortunately, disconnected will be scored as a DNF. We'll use the same policy as the one used by the STCC.

You should know by now that if you time out in the StormCup during a race, it's an automatic DNF.

Doesn't he drive the safety car?

I was wondering if we could have a go at a live broadcast for today's race. If it's ok with Lizard, I will need a commentator if anyone is willing.

Thanks.
