@Hanzime.

Thankyou for your order, you are the first one who believed us, ordering a server for your league ( liveforspeed.be )

Cause of that you gained both discounts
( League server discount + 500 servers customer discount )

Hope you enjoy your 1 year long stay with us

Thankyou.

You helped us out 2 times when we needed a server while 500servers was offline. You did it just you saw I needed some help, and your offers are very good. SO I also hope we have a good business for the years to come!!

Glad to be online again !

Cya all tonight for the our first race on the Frozen speedserver servers .
We have the last open race tonight.. The last one of the Winter break.
So join us all one the "liveforspeed.be" server !!

can you guys put here an example of a paypall dispute I'm not used on doing that.

Thansk !!

Sorry Dean , I hope you're alright, but I have a league coming out of a winter stop.. The league is about to restart in about 2 weeks and I do have obligations to the races in my league.. even if they don't pay for it.. I've organised it so I carry the obligation !.

So a totally other question.. What is another good host service for LFS?? good price /quality ?

Thank you guys... But be realistic... after one month waiting, I don't think we see 500 servers online ...... ever ...

Still no reply .....

Quote from Mustangman759 :

I think dadge has his cell # maybe he will check on him.

Can you send him a private message so he can call Dean ?

but even if the server offline status is caused by a virus attack, it is no reason to leave us a status report !! .. And I know Dean/Francky has not a good talent to keep his customers up to date..

But never has he been that silent for so long... And that is very worrying

So let's hope he saw the daylight of 2013..

I also repeat my question.. Is there someone who knows him or someone who can get into PERSONAL contact with Dean ?? So no emails but a real phone or house visit. So we can get a status on his health !!!

I repeat, if you know Dean or someone who does , please action!!

Thanks for the effort !!

Luckily I could again borrow the server form someone else for our event every Sunday evening.

Nice to see people still care around here to help someone else.
And luckily we are on a winter brake driving only open races but the league continues the 27 January.. I hope Dean can fix it by then ....
IF not I will be forced to look for a new hoster and then it will be byebye 500servers I guess

Still hoping nothings bad happened to Dean...

Quote from T3charmy :

I've shot him an email this morning, no reply yet...

And any reaction yet ???

Is there no one out here who knows him personally ?????

I'm Extremely frustrated the problem is not solved yet.. But m' to I'm beginning to worry about Dean . as we have not yet heard anything from him yet..

There should be a way to contact him ??

anyone ?

Quote from T3charmy :

.... What ever happened to that other support guy dean hired?

Indeed.. I think he never got into that otherwise the backup would have helped us. Even if he is on a holiday, I would think he would check the status of the servers during the day.. Read this forum.. So .. or he is unconscious somewhere or there is someone sitting on top of him and he can't get away..

I really hope this will be fixed soon !!

DAmned Dean !!! The fact that your service is down is bad.. The fact that people are not answered why the problem occurse is far more worse !!!

Can we, as customers, at least know what the problem is and a preduction when the problem will be solved !!

Then at least we could take the correct actions to make sure our events can take place !! We do have obligations to our racers!!

It is bad to have a server down but it is far more worse to have no news from you on the reason and prediction when it will be solved !!!

This is primar to the respect towards your customers.
that it thakes time to write this all down... Indeed.. But a lot less frustrated people to leave behind.. Now we even don't know if you are busy solving this problem or sleeping on a hot beach somewhere....

Sorry for some grammatical errors.. No spelling checker here :/

Liveforspeed.be server also down

Dean we have an event Sunday!!!
I hope you can fix this fast an good!

Just a reminder that we start the first practice race tomorrow evening at 20.30 CET.

If days start shortening and the kids are all back to school.. in Europe this means only one thing .... A new Liveforspeed.be season is on it's way .. And this time it is a special one as we start and celebrate our 10th Season !!!!

So we are very proud we could keep it up this long. But there are reasons for that..
And this is because we do have a good reputation of clean races.. No fooling around, as those racers are banned on the spot !
We also have our Safety Car procedure to keep a high number of racers on track and bring back the action.
So we're back to start a new season and this time we will mainly have a single seater season !
With a rally exception half way.
As always we start slowly to grow during the season so we can go faster and faster and faster to end up with the BF1.
Just like last year we have an extra race after the season finale with a 1 hour endurance event.
We have 1 break in the season during the winter holidays so every student can prepare for the examinations and can celebrate with the family afterwards. On the 27th January we resume the season.
During the break we will have some Sunday evening races of course.
All races are held in private sessions. So Subscription is needed !!!!
Information on how to register can be found on www.liveforspeed.be.
Also don't forget to read and understand the rules, specially the Safety Car rule.
They can be found on the front page in English, Dutch, German and French.
And why compete ?? First of all to have fun !!! But also to win a personal signed Card from Formule one driver Daniel Ricciardo
We are proud to present the 10th season calendar !!! Hope you join and .. enjoy it !!!

So Check out the Calender for Season 10 here and DON'T forget to subscribe !!!

Last weeks to join us on those open races at Sunday night...

Season 10 is about to enter start in September !!

So join is and see we only do it the clean way !

Quote from franky500 :

I can honestly say its purely bad luck that problems seem to appear coming up to the weekends,

As stated i do have alternative machines if you would like a temp server setup,

Hi Dean,

I would need a online server at Sunday evening at 20.30 CET to have our open summer race.
if possible server name : liveforspeed.be I gues you can send me the admin password with mail ? admin AT liveforspeed.be

Thanks Hanziboy
Admin Liveforspeed.be

Quote from Mustangman759 :

If anyone needs a server for an event let me know, mine is up and running and I will be happy to lend it out jut let me know.

I hope Dean will get it online our create some backup for us otherwise I would love to use it at Sunday evening at 20.30 CET. Until 22.30 mac CET.

THX for the offer !

@ DEAN.. why o why always during the weekends

And back online.. Thx for fixing it.... why o why does this frequently happen during the weekends. Again our race was gone.. again a very bad advertising for or league...

And of course Dean can not warn us in advance if it happens all of the sudden.. But he could at least let us know we've lost our server..or give us a backup server for that period..

I guess that this year alone we've missed out 3 races due to server down issues.

And here we go AGAIN !!!!! Again or serer liveforspeed.be server is offline !!
Status unknown..
And again without any warnings or an e-mail from Dean to warn us the server is down and what the problem is and how long he is estimating time to solve the problem..

I realize Dean tries to pleas us , but PLEASE start with INFORM us instead of making us find out for our selves and have to search for the problem in these forums again !

Still room enough for some more !!
so join us at http://www.liveforspeed.be and subscribe on our forum.

Cya on track !!

Last night we have had a practice session.. Was a nice race !!
And in the beginning it seems that the speed differential between the faster and slower cars would been to high, but during the race we only have had one major incident.

There is one thing to consider.. the slow car just has to keep his line and don't make any fast corrections. The faster car has a perfect view in front om him to judge how he wants to pass the slower car.

Don't forget to subscribe if you want to join !!

Cya on track !

Server is back online Thx Dean

But the control panel is not.

Franky . Found the problem yet ???
Also still offline ...

server : liveforspeed.be

Waiting .....

Strange that after all those nice suggestions I do not see the suggestion to add an Safety Car procedure, that can be enabled by the admin(s).

We use such a system now on our league and has many advantages.
As it brings all cars back together again, so a lot of close racing again just like after the start, So more action.. More fun !!

Also it prevents a car for quiting as resetting is not allowed during our races so due to the SC procedure they stay on track collecting some extra points at the end of the race.

Secondly We don't need to ask for extra tracks or cars. Just give us the possibility to create them ourself as you as you have to possibility to do so in RFactor. My findings is that RFactor is not such a good simulator then LFS in matter of car feel realism but at is a great success as members can create cars and real tracks !!!
