hmmm, that almost never happens with my reports. Declined why?

It's been working consistently for me in Firefox.

I like it :-)

On Race 3, the GFRs don't seem to be scoring points.

Nice change, except the GFRs don't seem to be getting any points.

I don't get it, you want red wires or the wrc gear knob?

No, I think he's asking for the CD in the slot and the faceless stereo.

Most likely the reason you're not seeing any of the other CTRA servers is that you have Empty Servers filtered out of the race list. To see all of the CTRA servers, either turn the that filter off, or, what I usually do, is use the Servers page on the CTRA website to launch LFS.

While CTRA 1 is the only server that is consistently populated, if you join an empty server, more often the not other drivers will soon join you.

Having watched that replay, I'd say you're a wrecker as well, which is NOT the correct way to handle such a situation.


Nor is this the correct way to make a report... see this thread: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=33447

it would be useless beacuse it uses more memory and performance but you cant drive on it! sooo :smash3d: nope to this idea anyways its a racing sim but not a midnight club, need for speed, or LA rush.. got it?

Hey cool! I was the 999,999th visitor!

Anybody else?

I see from one of my reports that was just resolved that you've implemented removing mid-race join privileges for specific driver's.

Admin Response: You clearly involve yourself with this race far more than you are permitted. As a midrace joiner, you are required to heed the warnings and instructions issued to you by the X-System. You completely ignored them and caused genuine racers problems as a result. Your midrace join rights have been suspended.


I remember seeing this possibility mentioned in a recent thread, but it's nice to see it's been put into effect. In combination with mild sanctions (Caution, Warning, etc.) this should do a lot to educate people and reduce the problem.

Big thanks, Sam!

2 finishes in 38 races on CTRA? I don't think lack of speed is your main problem.

South City?

Ugh, that's a harsh slap in the face.

Nice addition, though.

Well, I can't find the thread in the general LFS forums now, but there's a good one about post race behavior. If you're going to refine the rules a bit, perhaps some guidelines here would be a nice addition? While it would be nice if people didn't park on the S/F line after the race's end, I'm really thinking more about things like deliberate post race wrecking and driving backwards on the track.
While it would be nice to be able to practice/test setup changes without having to dodge parked cars, I'm not so worried about that. But I particularly don't like having my FF wheel knocked silly for someone else's amusement.

Looks to me like you're showing up.

Possibly this is a problem on my end, in which case I'd very much like to confirm it, but I just tried joining the empty B&J server, an NO objects (barriers, checkpoints, etc.) are being loaded. It's just an empty parking lot or skidpad. The server even gives the message that ther are no checkpoints, so laps aren't being timed.

Quote from Kiyoshi :

If the balance of blame lies with me, then how could I have avoided this?



I accept that it probably falls into the category of 'racing incident', but I was under the impression that the following car isn't supposed to follow through with throttle planted regardless of who or what is in front of them.
Or do I need to modify my driving style to fit in?

Everyone else who's posted is exactly right, but since no one else has specifically answered this question, I will. You could have avoided this incident by not going wide and leaving the track. Simple as that.

That's not to say that your driving was bad or that you deserve some kind of sanction. But your slip is what caused the accident. There is no way the other driver could have avoided hitting you there.

Even with the best drivers, accidents sometimes happen. That's what happened here. If you hadn't brought it up, no one would be discussing "fault" or "blame" in this case. But since you did, the fault occurred when you failed to exit the turn perfectly.

Well, you picked the day of the week when CTRA 1 is busiest. But at any rate, as Becky said, racing on CTRA 1 won't help you get into SS2. To get into SS2 you need to earn Single Seater points, which you can only do in SS1.

lol, sounds like Microsoft. Thanks for the quick response, Sam.

The CTRA server page show's drivers in CTRA1 and SS1, but when I tired joining SS1 through the server page (using Join2LFS) I got an error in LFS, "Host not found on Master Server". I checked the Hosts lists in LFS and no CTRA servers showed up. Then I tried the LFS Remote link on the CTRA server page and Remote gave me an "Invalid Host Name" error, and again, none of CTRA's servers showed up on Remote's list.

After viewing the replay several times, I'd have to agree that a ban does seem overly harsh... like others have said, you need to PM do0f.

This might have something to do with it, too:

-TR- Jordan connected (jordan2007)
[..]
-TR- Jordan removed NOS™ ALFAQV from the start grid
CTRA : Timestamp: 08 Jun 2008 : 18:49:51

The real wonder is this:

Jordan has competed in 74 races and driven 48 laps on the CTRA X-System.

Wins: 5 6%
Podiums: 23 31%
Finishes: 46 62%
Fastest Laps: 6 8%
Yellows : 49 100%

Hmmm, haven't tried yet, but the servers do look pretty empty... as in totally empty.

Edit: What message did you get, jbird? I seem to be stuck in queue.
