Really great stuff this ctra-thing!

Imho there is only one piece of information missing in the "$help menu". I would like to be able to see what track will be served next.

This way people would be able to have some (offline) practice before entering it online.

Having the following tracks shown on the race authority site would work also.

Keep up the great work!

To pull a Spyker: Don't fight on track when you can do it in court!

Paint works fine for me. I do use ms photo editor to save it from bmp to jpg (a lot cleaner than saving to jpg in paint).

You mean the back of your car looking like a car stereo?

Maybe the nazi-skin has already been removed. It is more than half a year ago when I encountered it. This thread made me look it up in my skins_x folder.

I am a bit ashamed to have had it on my hard drive for so long.

I once noticed a facist running a "hitler" skin with swasticas and a portraid of the bastart on his fox. (skin name FOX_POOPOO)

Mofo's like this should have their licences revolked!

I also noticed a guy speaking in a very disrespectfull way about Molukan people.

Both these guys obviously got banned.

Never really heard of ya. Since you've made me curious I just laughed my ass off reading your previous posts!

To pull an Albers: Leave the pits with the fuel hose still attached.

Hell yeah! Best money I ever spent!

Thanks, that wiki-link did the trick!

Something about the rules of the 24h du mans isn't quite clear to me:

Does a car have to finish after the winner to have officially finished?

I would normally expect the cars to be classified for driven laps. I would expect the Peugeot even being 2nd if it didn't move in the last 5 minutes as the pescarolo wouldn't have made up the laps.

To pull a Peugeot: Park near the finish and wait for the winner and make it look close.

p.s. when I started this thread I didn't expect anyone to be as disrespectfull to bring fatalities into it! Good thing it was only one sick b'stard.

Hi all

How about filling a thread with a collection of moves named after real life drivers.

I'll start with some easy ones.

• To pull a Coulthard (going for a way too ambitious pass and climbing the car in front. like dc did in melbourne '07)
  
• To pull a Schumacher (swerving in front of the car starting beside you)
  
• To pull an Alonso (overambitious move on the outside of turn one, ending in a small botanic excursion before almost causing a pile-up)
  
• To pull a Heidfeld (losing it on the grass, crossing the next corner and collecting an innocent car.) (just had that at blackwood sorry guys)

Keep 'm comin'

I take comfort in the fact that all car's are made by the same talented people.

Unofficial Ad-ons wouldn't really do it for me.

It would split the online community.

Sweet! Diff really seems to work smoothly now!

Great lappers aren't necessarily great racers. There are a lot of racers online who lap like they are from another planet but don't know how to interact with other drivers.
Some have the overtaking abillities of the AI drivers.

Where do you try to choose the skin? At the bottom of the "colours" section of the garage screen? Or the left side?

That should do it

Are you sure you've put it in the right "skins" folder? The LFS viewer has its own "skins" folder.

I have to admit I like it's exlusivity.

On the other hand I do want it to be a succes. The dev's really deserve it. I have introduced the game to people who bought an s2 licence instantly!

The danger with things becomming more popular is giving in to the demands of a mainstream market. And there are plenty games for those "racers".

I think the overall quallity is due to the independance of the devs. I'm sure Electronic Arts would screw this game up big time! I really hope the dev's will never sell out. And I don't expect them to!

I'l take 75!

Ok, I think you all convinced me of the positive sides of mid race joining being enabled.

Why aren't blue flag situations prevented not allowing mid race joining? It's an easy option to prevent people from disrupting races they are not even part of.

I have to admit that I join races in progress from time to time. Even when I try not to disturb any action I sometimes fail misserably .

So why have the temptation? on 5 or 6 lap races the next race is always within minutes.

Great combo with So Classic. There was a redline racing server for FO8 recently but it's of air again . Really loved it.
