Hello! Today I will be posting on behalf of the Gamers United Official Racing Team. Recently, they have been working on an event that they are wanting to test out. This event will be going through a 'test phase' and therefore will be seen as a bit of fun rather than something competitive at this moment in time. If it is successful, then we will hopefully look into making it an official event.

Below are all of the details:








Event Details:
July 1st
GU-R's 1st Official Event!
UFB @ FrostFire Circuit - 30 Laps (33 Minutes [APPROX])

Staff attending:
[GU-R]Squeeze - Stewarding
[GU-R]Huski - Racing
[GU]Lewis - General Admin Work

Notes:
This event is running as a fun race, not too serious due to its purpose being testing the interest in such racing for the planned Leagues for winter.

Please note: No Sign up is required for participation.

I would adore a max object limit and an empty area... Be it just tarmac or sections of tarmac and maybe dirt, or hell, a map editor!

I HONESTLY, like "Endurance" races to be at MINIMUM 4 hours, be it timed OR laps on average laptimes (EG 1 lap = 1m - 240 Lap = 4 Hours) the main question for me would be what car & track combination its on, I like endurance races to be in some form of GT not a road car, due to those getting tedious for me within mere moments.

Track is a big one too, because the shorter it is (for me) it feels like I'm there for less time.

I'd give it a look if it becomes a thing, then maybe also go and take part.

100 x 100 KM slab of various road surfaces in LFS, split it 50/50 to dirt & road.

Up the object limit with this too

But it looks like its going to take some more years before some new tire physics get released @LFS so any requests for cars are useless at this point in time.

Still never understood why IRacing is a monthly subscription.

I'd like to see more done with the MRT or Kart class vehicles.

I seriously doubt real cars coming into LFS without modding support. Maybe new cars would have similarities (Like the FZ5, looks like a Porche and a 350 in one I think)

Anyway, personally I'd like to see a LMP style car


Since then LFS le mans can happen! But na, I dunno how these things work, but honestly they'd be serious fun to drive.

As far as I know, no, stickers do not come up on car windows, I have tried this before.

Maybe it'll become a feature one day as some race and drift liveries do have sponsors on the windows.

Sorry!

(also link is a 404, just attach it in )

Good job, quite like the ground reflection! What do you use for your renders?

THESE CARS CAN GO OVER CURBS I SHOULD BE FINE... This also means new itasha skin in my last style, :3

Edit 1 @ 3:19AM BST: Got a new skin idea, will drop a teaser when its done.

I use a Logitech Driving Force GT for PS3. 900 degrees of lock, which is more then I actually use in LFS. I cruise on 720-900DEG and race on 450DEG.

Apart from that I don't have any external shifter+pedals, just the base DFGT stuff.

Quote :Huski had his unlycky moment dropping from 14th to 20th on sector 3 after getting rammed and thrown into barriers by Blb:

I'd like to give my view of what has happened with this, as I think it adds to the report quite nicely.

Firstly as a footnote though, I made a small <1m video of the crash from a few different angles, look in description for time and angles.



Before the turn of the collision I had to put my handbrake on as to not hit [WCL]T.Sonini, which gave BLB the chance to catch up, I knew he was close, however I did check my mirror just before the turn, to where I saw he wasn't too close to myself as I went into the turn, sadly however I didn't account for my lost speed with the line, causing myself to turn into the corner thinking I was okay due to my mirror check only to be crashed by BLB, I was mad at the time yes (That only helped me race more aggressively) but I also waited until everyone passed, even though if I put my foot on the reverse instantly I could've got out before Swissline. But into the crash I tried to turn through it, get my car around the corner to no avail, I was carrying to much straight line speed into that barrier, thankfully my steering was okay to carry on without pitting. Even though this was a race-ending crash for me in terms of position I'm not at all mad at BLB for it, the crash itself was an unlucky coming together of two cars, misjudgement on my part too, its racing at the end of the day on a tight track, it happens.

Now I know people might say that BLB could've broke as to not hit me, and yes I agree, but it all was in a small fraction of time, even I know if I was in BLB's shoes I wouldn't have been able to react safely.

I have uploaded the 45M replay of the qualification, if anybody wants to watch it of course~

I may also be putting up a in-car of my 3 lap race (I wasnt doing too gooooood)

Tonight's event was fun, okay sure I died on lap 3 but that was a lack of practise. Layout was really well made too. I'll definitely come to the next event!

The layout was an inspiration of the old 965 MRT Race layout made by myself and I must say, a good job was done remaking it as every problem the old layout ran into seemed to have been fixed with this!

Good work and congrats to the winners!

Whilst ingame press SHIFT + A on the car you want to change the sounds of. SHIFT + A brings up the engine sound editor for the car your currently in.

Then you just have to load your sound and bish bash bosh.

(Make sure your out of pits in the car you want to edit the sound of)

Quote from sinanju :
What if I don't want LFS to differentiate my server into either race or drift?

As I placed in my reply there would maybe be a string of 1-4 with 4 being "Other/Unspecified" which would be very useful for team servers, event servers, or servers that change a lot.
Huskii

If this system would come in then before servers could be hosted a small string in the cfg would be

ServerMode= 1
(
1: Race
2: Drift
3: Cruise
4: Other
)

Or
ServerMode= Race

Maybe a demo/s1/s2/s3 would be easier.

(I'd never have Drift servers on :c )

Honestly, it could work yes, it'd be a nifty feature, however I only **really** see it taking place in cruise servers overall.

Though for people who bother with safety cars it might do well I suppose, depends on implementation and also usefulness, along with if they are actually visible flashing, if these are all implemented properly and also with a single toggle on/off bind/control it'd be great for a feature, especially for anyone who wants to run racing languages with a real pace car (Something I think should be done more)
