This is turning into a bit of a pigs ear imo

First we ban the LRF cars (boooo ) at the whim of a few well known and voiciferous TBO drivers :irked:, and now we are gonna start with internal class balancing too?

It's all becoming too artificial for my liking

At least 1, maybe?? Does a private test session count?

"1980 Patrick Depailler, during a private test session"

www.motoersportmemorial.org is quite a handy site and gives a list of 13 drivers which have died on Hockenheim.

The question is....does Jim Clark count? He was driving an F2 car whilst still a current F1 driver.

Feck it, I'm going for 2.

Quote from samjh :

I'll be assuming that it means any driver who raced in F1 at or around the time of their death.

Thats how I read it

Lol, sounds like theres some right rip-offs out there atm.

£450 fully comp on my RX8

I queried the interpretation of the question, and it has been changed........slightly, but I'm not sure its any better

Scan from Autosport:


Might be just bollocks though.

Doesn't look very inspiring, Tilke at his best.......

Quote from Bean0 :

With the dominance of the FXO though, I think it could be time to look at different multipliers again. The XRT and RB4 can be quick, but it is certainly a lot harder to be quick than in the FXO.

I have to agree, otherwise we'll end up with 80% + of drivers in FXO's and only a handful in the other two. Got to admit, I'm pretty guilty of this as the FXO is far the easiest TBO car to drive fast (but when yer rubbish you need to try and take every advantage going :razz

Two words - hopelessly enthusiastic

Quote from Megin :

Hello Sam,
And how about UF1 server? It will return some day? I miss UF1 competition on CTRA very mutch

Yeh, it was brilliant eh

I think I pretty much stuck there until I got my silver license

What I love about LFS - Just about everything tbh!

No I'm not some blinkered fanboy and am aware of the existing glitches. BUT...

1. ease of use and friendliness to old PC's
2. fantastic set up options (not car, just game)
3. intense quality multi player action
4. maybe half a dozen game crashes in over 2 yrs of playing, awesome
5. fantastic realism when driving the cars near their limits
6. £24!!!!
7. it's the first racing sim I've tried and the first to tempt me into cockpit view
8. love the regular updates and knowing the Devs are never that far away
9. LFS World
10. the fact we know it will get better yet!

:yipee::clapclap::woohoo:

Boooooooo!!

Lets hope he comes back with some sort of TV role. The boys got a fair line in patter

Thanks for all the good time DC!

Quote from FivEd :

Hi guy`s.I have a problem with Thrustmaster force feedback racing wheel.When I put USB in my PC,wheel turn right
Why?please help

So have you tried all the usual fixes?

Latest drivers, profilers, calibration tools, reinstalls etc?
Is it set up properly within LFS?

I used a Thrustmaster FF GT for 6-7 years without a single hitch

Hi AndRand - enjoyed racing with you the other night
Also, thank you for the kind words about our server!

We're still beta testing the application to fine tune the weight and intake restrictions received by the top half of the finishers. Some more drivers on a Thursday night (1900-2200 GMT) would help with sorting those out!

As Mr Skunk has said already, we plan on making a formal announcement when we are completely open for business

Until then, if you are a clean driver, feel free to join us. Just bear in mind, tweaks to the system are ongoing and we are learning ourselves as to what penalties work best with certain types of car.

Any input is welcome

** we also need to adjust it so anyone named Skunk receives double penalties **

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

I love Donnington, thats why I don't want F1 to ruin it! Silverstone is perfect for F1 already, and if that silver haired midget bastard stopped lining his own pockets it wouldn't even be at risk.

Succinctly put. He really is a tiny weasel of a man with interests which are purely selfish.

And he tries all that spin rubbish - oh we should be grateful for even having a British F1 GP Aye right Bernie, try removing that one from the rota!

Bollocks to the wee sh!te, the sooner he gets flattened by a tonka truck the better.

Tilke is on his last warning as well, any more of his p!sh and I'll be over there to confiscate his drawing board and "Ladybird Junior Race Track Designer" book.

@ bean0 - I know I took you out by proxy on T1 one race

Not much I could really do about it tho, the replay would be like watching that domino-effect Guinness advert

Who started it then? lol

But aye thats gonna happen with a nearly full grid and taking into account the different acceleration and braking capabilities of the TBO cars. As you said, its the occassions when you get tagged on the straights that defies belief

Still, I saved a couple of my better replays to watch later, best hoot on LFS for a wee while

Won't be on tonight, will be beta testing a new application on our server.

Quote from Spils :

why do i never see more than 20???? and i mean ever

88 last night when I logged on Might depend upon the filters you have active?

I have all cars enabled, the search only ignores empty servers, private servers and cruise servers.

Quote from SamH :

What I'm trying to say is that, even though the guy appealed the permanent ban, he DID serve 30 days ban for the *same* thing you reported him for. And additionally, he lost most of his SS licence points too.

Ah ha...........

Now that does make a lot of sense

Thanks for the explanation Sam, appreciated

In this type of instance, might be have been possible to note this on the admins appeal response? I know it starts to add even more arms and legs to the whole process, but.......

Quote from Dru :

Just because one report did not go your way don't stop using it. Bear in mind that reports/appeals can go both ways etc.. but please don't stop using the system

Not sour grapes or anything Dru, but someone blatantly and repeatedly taking a short cut down an off track pit lane, re-entering the race track and taking people out - permanent ban reduced to warning? I wouldn't let them back on our server.......
Appeal or no appeal it seems as blatant unsportmanlike behaviour as your likely to come across. The chap in question didn't have a leg to stand on imo

Yes I'll continue to use the report system (only submitted 3 in total ), but only where theres obvious wrecking or interference by mid-race joiners. No point in wasting everybodys time.

Quote from The Moose :

Sort of.

Some truly crap driving going on. I was punted off the track in 5 out of 6 races at as3 by people that seem to have forgotten where the brake is.

A totally frustrating experience.

Well, aye.......out of the five races I drove two were ruined by being completely taken out. Worst thing was watching the culprits drive off into the distance without so much as an apology

I know, the report system.......but tbh after seeing one of my reports changed from a permanant ban to a warning, I've lost a bit of faith there. I'll only use it for malicious wrecking and mid-race joiners now.

BUT, the last three races were sooooooooo good it kinda made up for it. Tip top door to door racing with fast respectful drivers. Just the ticket

Quote from Worm :

Hello !
Race 2 :
Why we dont have AS4 AS5 AS6 KY3?
Maybe do you think those track are too long but, really, it s some good track to do TBO race. Large route, space.... TBO are fast car, they are not reserved to the small track.

+1

Do you ever stop posting shit, or does everything you spew have a foul odor?

Thanks.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Actually, I'm sure it's spectacular for me. In fact, I'm pretty sure I can basically get away with murder here.

More outstanding moderation work............

Kinda makes a mockery of the title, and I can't even add to ignore list :weeping:

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Yet more reasons why I've moved on from LFS to better things.

Awesome racing with a healthy grid at AS3 - no doubt Z helps but still, the proof is in da pudding

Snap

When I sat and wrote them down, I got 9. Never heard this J. Stewart and J. Clark pair........

















erm I mean Collins and Brooks

Quote from vipex123 :

yeah well, before banning, they should atleast say go onto another server... and you get banned for hardly anything, you ban people instead of a warning kick.

Er, no. It's their server to do with as they please. Within reason

If you acted like a tool on our server then ban=999 straight away. Come and drive sensibly (be you greased lightning or backmarker) then you are always welcome.

But CD is a particularly bad one to pick if yer a noob on the combo You'll just get in trouble. Same goes for dMr and Oval junky servers.

Be good and it'll all go away.......
