Quote from Scawen :You don't really lose anything, apart from the ability to have multiple colour schemes for one skin, but I don't think that's really needed.

Doesn't that break making color schemes for AI drivers?

While we are at views, why doesn't chase/follow/"the arcade" view have virtual mirror, possibility to look around and can't be set as default view? I drive in that view mostly as I find sensation it gives most realistic (no (rude) comments on that please).

Mirror & possibility to look around in that view would be very useful for replays also, in case some purists think everybody should be forced to drive in views they like...

Yup I had clutch set to axis too when first started U10, was quite confusing, as it took some time to realise what's wrong. Have MS Sidewinder BTW.

Quote from axus :Can I suggest a little system for leagues that shouldn't be too hard to code and would be quite nifty? Save a qualifying order at the end of qualifying as a .whatever file and then be able to load it again later if you are an admin. I don't think there's any reason for this not to be compatible... but then again, I don't know much about how LFS works Its just a bit annoying when you have 20 cars on the grid and you have to order them manually from a list on a little piece of paper or something.

Actually much better would be if admin could add racers to grid (+ maybe with option to disable normal join at the same time). Little extra button in connection list, and/or command /add <name> or something. Dunno if it would require lot of changes to (net)code, but it would be very useful for leagues.

Quote from Scawen :And the batch / script / command file system could be a powerful tool for many other things in the future as well, not just changing your LFS setup for each car.

Any plans to have variables & control structures? C-like syntax?

LFS "boing" collision detection in real life: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5135594293614867066.

And yes, I think also that it definitely should be improved (in LFS that is). This "boing" system makes otherwise serious simulator just feel silly... :/

We meant Shift+S while *spectating*.

Shift + S in spectate got lost when S2 came I think... Time to put it back perhaps?

Scawen, one little suggestion that has been on my mind long time already. In race setup screen, Enter key is unused... So here's suggestion: until you not in grid, Enter could function as "Join", and if already in grid, then it could toggle "Ready".

I'm keyboard fan, so the less mouse rally the better...

Use GMT, as it's kinda official for LFS, since we have GMT clock on LFS World.

I'm King's anti-fan BTW, most of his stuff is just stupid.

Thanks for layout, not bad. Got 5:25.7 with XRT on 4th try.

For unknown reason these instructions assume that WinZip is installed - should show how to do it with plain Windows instead (though built in zip handling is new to XP I think?). WinZip isn't good program... Guess it's not free also.

Quote from Victor :and save a replay please

Though these LFSW messages aren't recorded to replay. I have always wondered why that is?

Quote from Fordman :bla bla bla

So it was poor organising then...

I'd say that insim relay for spectator is so obvious & basic thing to have for league like that, so there can't really be excuses for not having it. Though, future looks bright then with LIVE streams & stuff. Good luck for next seaons!

I wonder why isn't there insim relay for spectator for races? Just poor organising or what?

You have probably layout loading automagically for that KY1 track, check your servers data\layout folder.
Bug with penalty given by admin
hackerx
No longer welcome
Seems this one isn't reported yet...

When admin gives penalty with /p_dt or /p_sg, and driver doesn't cross split line before entering pitlane (i.e. penalty is given when car is between last split & pitlane entrance and driver goes to pitlane right away), LFS says "Entered pitlane for no purpose" and driver can't complete penalty.

My teammate had this in last MoE race and had to do two drive-throughs.

Not a bug... You obviously have controller filter set to wheel, so that in the chart times driven with mouse and keyboard are not displayed.

#define OG_KM 16384
#define OG_BAR 32768

What are these two for?

Hmmm... I think welcome message is in wrong place - should be displayed after connecting to server, with OK button.

I think this bug has always been there, since I first started playing LFS in May 2004.

Quote from Breizh :Assuming it is still only doable by typing out the cars allowed in the 'console'. can you do the same external text-based list you added for tracks, for cars?

It seems to me that it already is exactly like you asked...?
