Stupid question:
In the GTAL series it's possible to rejoin the race? I don't mean test races, just normal regular race, it seems kind of unrealistic to me and I'm not used to that, anyway by normal counting you will be at the end, you deployed a new car as the old one was virtually totaled/destroyed. (Kind of simulation of virtual unrepairable mechanical damage etc. engine died, gearbox fell off, what ever
You had to retire, sad, but can/will happen some day to everybody.)
Yes the SC helped you a lot in that case, + Tracker counting all laps from all connections.

5. Tracker: Tracker will be available and running on http://tracker.newdimensionracing.com. Please point out any errors you note to us during the race. We will post the input on Friday evening after qualifying for confirmation.
The results looks strange after Round 0a, 04 and 77 are supposed to be down in the list aren't they? At least that's what I have in replay 04 +24laps, 77 +9laps, kinda strange the results in tracker, if my theory is correct they finished with the top 10 but their laps are somewhere else but the tracker didn't took that in account or something.
They probably had a disconnect, as the lap chart looks like it.
Or my another one of mistakes. But never saw such a strange thing stats doesn't correspond to replay.
I better stop writing anything. Yes I had in mind that the race is every weekend.
yes that was my 2nd weird idea that you have Q1 for the next race right day after the previous race, than wait a week and Q2 + R

Glitches
I'm reading it now, so I'll post any mistakes/glitches I find there:
I thought the name is GT9, because in other Leagues GT2 still refers to the old restrictions. Or will it change everywhere? I don't think so.
TO BE CONTINUED (Hopefully not)
3. Each round will be three days long. Days 1 and 2 are Sunday and Friday, with qualifying sessions, Day 3 is race day on Saturday.I would expect it to be, Day 1 Friday Q, Day 2 Saturday Q, Day 3 Sunday R.
1. The series runs with GT2-class restrictions.

Where are the rules for GTAL? Is it the same as CRC? And what are the differences? +SC
Will it be possible to participate in the test race even if the team is not choosen/required for it?
Thx

Definitely a good point!
And I have to say I like the new GT9 restrictions, less power -> more handling, at least for my mouse :mouse:
I have it from my teammate as I got 2 disconnects (~2-3.lap, ~24.lap) (won't race from this connection).
But many people saved it as I asked if somebody could share it here too. But it seems like I'm first. REPLAY Q+R
There is what I needed it for: The secret information gathering
As I like to look at how the drivers did, though it only shows the last connection so my 1st half of race is lost.

I would say give all the cars the same peek Power (kW/HP) so they are equal and the disadvantages and advantages of the cars then can count.
"Oh no FX2 is too slow": yes it's the easiest, 4x4, bad balanced, so what do you expect?
"damn that FZ2 is too fast!" yes it might be, because it has wider tires, has more weight on rear and that's how racing cars tend to be balanced, and you don't have to wait for the turbo to spin up to give you power, but it also consumes more fuel -> the car is probably heavier, etc.
"XR2" around 50:50 balance, with fuel it shifts to rear, FR RWD, but normal tires and lazy turbo
I do get it what you're trying to do, to equal the cars with restrictions by comparing times of several drivers. But many tracks driven by aliens would be needed :/
I drive FX- just for fun, XR- for race and when I can handle the FZ- I choose it, I'm a NA porsche lover. (Mouse driver so FZ- is quite hard...)

yes we do, as we take it as a practice and would like to race each our own car in the test race
How do you plan to choose the 28? teams from the 38+ applications?
I mean what is the sorting algorithm To get the top 28? most suitable/wanted/... from the many applications.

To get the top 28? most suitable/wanted/... from the many applications.ah yeah I thought it's this league logo, road sign is quite confusing to use for that
J@tko, alright thx
Well, I played it many years before becoming S2 licensed so I quite had enough of it, overtaking... hmm like 2 straights where you can safely overtake if you have the speed, other 2 places will slow you down both and you need a big speed difference or the other racer mistake
I don't get it why:
Round 7 - 2 April: 12 Hours of Blackwood Grand Prix (BL1) - Clear Day
???
One of the most boring tracks, the shortest track of the season probably, and the longest race time... not a good idea. It's just a torture on that small track, you should pick one of the longest tracks for 12h.
What road signs are you talking about?

what old DB is off? 
sad
hope you'll manage to get yours up with good stuff, I knew why I downloaded that stuff from DB coz it might disappear
keep it up

Yeah devs are a bit off world probably, guys from Skoda are crazy they basically want a lot but they think it's not and want it fast
Not very good experences with them I heard of, how was yours? (I mean IT, research and such, so this might come close)LOL
I played a lot of racing games on keyboard, then with wheel.
LFS with mouse, couldn't drive it on keyb. and I loved mouse steering from Midtown Madness.
And I played LFS with wheel too, but, if you don't have some fancy wheel, mouse is better, my choice?
Proper Mouse + pedals (independent brake and gas).
And you've got the best combo imho. Fast countersteer, no force feedback to fight with, and analog brake and gas.
BL1/FBM quite easy, drove a lot that combo before winning in that combo a S2 licence, on Mouse+keyboard that I use, no wheels, no pedals.
When do you need pedals? On the hard handling cars. When you need to be faster when braking and exiting the corner. That's the only advantage you can better control the too much powered cars and brakes locking so you can have greater brake force than on keyboard, well until you switch on ABS
then brake problem is halfed.cargame.nl S2 is good, when there is no racing fun anymore and enough GTRs they move to cargame.nl OW or how it is called, but not so often
the problem is, there is everybody and you have to deal with that, if you're fast you're fine most of the time, if you're slow and you get into those noobish FXOs? You're dead, they can't drive
people don't take the FXO, it's like a family wagon and that's the only thing you can drive, take a XRT and learn to drive properly.So with GTRs, for me still GT2s you just need to be good in overtaking, there is no point in crashing etc. and mostly it's because the car in front of view doesn't leave you space, brakes, makes a manevuer into your line, etc. it's their fault! I just stay in the perfect line and when I see a chance of overtaking I take it, sometimes they are very good and they really show respect and let you pass, show you the direction with lights where they will go and so on, but those are special days
Admins, I think they're good, they're doing their job, some times more sometimes less, well they race too! If you have a problem tell them, they'll watch a replay and act don't worry be happy
nice one mate
yeah it's F.U.C.K.ed up, I'm here on the forum after a big time and... it looks like it's worse and worse, thow I don't like rFactor
can't properly drive like in LFS with mouse thereLFS needs to enable mods, or it'll die, graphics is OK, physics... maybe (well so far in the top10 but still long way to go), but it needs mods... cars, tracks, etc. why isn't Half-Life dead? Because you could make your own mode at home any time! And download hundreds of others.
I don't know but devs... I'll ruther shut up as it's use less to say anything here, it's not going to change and if it's than prove it and change it!
There are people that make mods even if its' that hard, cars, graphics, audio, tons of server stuff I don't know, and you just don't want them to do it, WHY?
netkar pro... very diappointed, unplayable on mouse, bad menus and configuration, stupid install and running, too high graphic requirements, shitty demo, only one formula and one car, no MP in that no other cars, no fun, LFS rocks one of best games I've ever played well I'm playing it still actually will never and maybe 
will never and maybe so what was the problem? On Vista (don't use it
)that when you wanted to connect stats to server it won't connect?
or it won't connect to localhost like that? Then there is probably something wrong with your OS, firewall, ... I would have to test on Vista, but now there W7 so maybe I'll test it there soon.
#### CONNECTION CONFIG ####
# Host IP.
Host = 127.0.0.1
# Insim UDP or TCP port.
# Before starting LFSStat you must configure LFS server to use this port for InSim.
# You can do that in command line when starting LFS (/insim=29999) or in talk window of LFS (/insim 29999).
Port = 29999
# TCP mode.
# true if you want to use TCP
# false if tou want to use UDP
TCPmode = true
oh OK, if it can be extracted, but normal installers can't or only with some tools (not for normal users)
will try, but I'm not a fan of installers, they only do useless things and no body ever knows what it really does, registry etc.
if you can stay with the packed version (zip, rar, 7z, ...) it would be good, no installer needed, never had any problems, thx
NOOO
just learn how to use your computer people, packed version much easier, download -> unpack -> play

Graphics settings can slow your graphic rendering, so you have a lag between input and actually something happened, but usually it's not big in LFS as in other modern (sh*tty) games
I had similar problem yesterday, everyone was sometimes teleporting, few minutes I couldn't see any car, and on the small map the cars were jumping let's say every few seconds, in one moment I thought I'm offline or something but still no disconnected, I suppose it was because of my poor shared internet connection, my ping was very high and speed around 128kb/s, in one moment after the race other players said that they lost me for several minutes! I suppose that it was all held by LFS, my settings:
Multiplayer speedup option YES
Multiplayer car draw 240m

sometimes I'm not even able to run those test, that's how bad the connection is sometimes
you are lucky
you are lucky
probably something with the feature I don't use, the WR, PubStat
I didn't changed anything in this part of program, so the same problem you will have with ver. 1
looks like some string cannot be converted to number, like "a" can't be converted to number and the program is expecting number not letter
