My display pwns yours

Just joking, I envy you solder wielding guys... I'd just burn myself.

I was bored this morning, and browsing the forums learned about the existence of OutGauge, and having a couple of hours to kill I hacked together this:

Sorry for the vid quality

This is great, I had thought a lot about in game LFS TV, but always thinking about conecting as spectator to a "fake" relay server. This is much more straightforward, even if it brings its own shortcomings.

Voiceovers are not much of a problem, you can always set up a ventrilo, teamspeak or whatever server. If the delay for all clients ends up being more or less similar (say within 5 or 10 seconds) and the speakers are watching a delayed stream themselves, it should be mostly ok for general commentary.
Maybe you could even somehow skip enough time frames for the latecomers once they are already watching so they can catch up and every ends up pretty much in sync.
Another cool thing would be having the mpr client start LFS by himself and load the mpr file when it is ready, I think the latest LFS versions can do that.

And crazier stuff. If the relay client acts as a server itself, the main server could redirect new connections to willing clients, and you could have potentially thousands of people watching almost live races. And then here come the sponsors... mwahahahahahah

Silly fun for 15 mins with photoshop

Get Grand Prix Legends and drive that instead of LFS for two weeks or so.
I'm only half joking, I just did so, and now I feel better at LFS: I brake better, take better lines through corners, control my throttle application and get out of bad situations easier.

It happened a lot to me when S2 came out. It was due to my computer overheating, because after I opened the case and put a couple of fans in there, It never happened again. Try just running with an open case ddor a while
