In LFS, RCM messages are often used by administrators to (re)start races after a safety car, or when a rolling race start is used. This will usually be a message saying 'Green Flag!', or something similar.

A possible problem which I have observed is that these messages don't seem to arrive to all clients simultaneously, and I therefore propose that there is another form of RCM which is displayed at the same time for all clients.

This could be implemented with something like a 1 second delay on the message being displayed, to account for any acceptable ping rate, and could use the same technique LFS uses to sync start lights at the beginning of a race.

Ah right, I wasn't aware that collision detection had been improved, that explains it .

Regarding the improvements, maybe the collision detection still isn't perfect. On lap 2 Homme made heavy contact with the wall on the last corner and the next lap was not invalidated, even with Y18.

The current hotlap WR with the FBM @ SO Sprint 2 by Homme is invalid, but LFS records the time regardless.

He hits the wall in the last corner of lap 1, and LFS says "Next-invalid". On lap 2 he sets his best time, but even though LFS says "Lap-invalid" the time is recorded. He also hits the wall at the end of lap 2 in the same point as lap 1, but this time the next lap is not invalidated.

Anyway, the bug with LFS not invalidating laps upon wall contact at South City is well known, the new (to my knowledge) bug here is that LFS does invalidate the lap, but still records the time anyway.

Edit: "Homme's hotlap was not valid and will soon be removed.
Please select another racer for comparison."

Maybe this bug is already known?

Quote from The Moose :

Voted -1 hour. Any more than that is just silly for the UK

Hmm, why's that? At the moment an event runs from 2000 to 0045 for us in the UK. I don't really see how 1700 to 2145 or 1800 to 2245 would be so bad, especially when you consider that some people are having to drive until 0245 or even 0345.

If everybody votes for what they want, and not what they think the majority want then we'll get the most representative solution.

Quote from Christopher Raemisch :

Sorry, I am not being precise enough.

Because there were less than 22 UK/IRE drivers before the season start they were allowed to enter, this was decided shortly before signups closed so we knew we had enough room for them. Next season, when/if the numbers increase they will not be allowed to enter into the UK division and will have to enter into a different division, and they should be already aware of this.

If we do fill the grid throughout the season, they will be allowed to finish. They have precidence over any driver entering midway through a season and will only be asked to leave after the championship season has been run.

Ok, I understand, thanks for clearing that up.

Cheers,
Josh

Quote from Christopher Raemisch :

When the grid becomes full of UK/IRE drivers they will have to find somewhere else to drive.

Did you tell them that before they signed up..? They've paid just like everyone else so that doesn't really seem fair.

Generic congratulatory reply!

Yeah that's true, although it actually quotes 40 characters so it's still a mistake really!

If you've copied the question exactly as it should be, then the probability is 0 because, as DWB already said there's a '.' in there which is not available to the monkey!

If you put the '.' there by mistake, or you didn't but it's not a trick question, your answer of (1/27)^39 is correct.*

*This obviously assumes that the odds of hitting any key is the same, and that hitting the same key multiple times in succession is no more likely than hitting any other combination of keys.

Little Bunny Racing Team?

Yes, yes, YES!!

p.s. - 'the best of the best' that reminds me of a line from a film but i cant remember which?

Men In Black?

It's fine with me, I'll miss the first round either way.

Come on guys! The pace isn't going to be on a par with the International series, so even if you're not a quick driver it's worth entering!

It might help if people could register but specify that they'll enter providing there will be n or more signups. I think a few people are holding back because they don't want to take part with only a couple of people to race against.

Making the first season free could also work...

Quote from Christopher Raemisch :

Well if you know anyone that would be interested send them a link =) Nobody is stopping anyone from trying to promote the league.

Other than posting in the general section there isnt much else that can be done. People just are not interesting in this fantastic opportunity.

Why don't you race? :P

If it's an issue of potential bias or whatever, I personally don't care if it means we have an extra driver.

That goes for Sam, too .

Is anything being done to try and find more drivers? With three days to go until the first race there are still only two of us signed-up and I'm quite sure that 99+% of active licensed UK LFS'ers don't actually know about this league.

It's the Easter holiday atm and as such I'm at home (with family) and without my PC & wheel (both at my uni house).

Well I won't be able make round 1, but I have signed up nevertheless.

Looks like a lonely first race for AMB at this rate :P.
