Was wondering should i mention this at all

Quote from LFSn00b :

It's mandatory sadly. Those classes are boring as hell

Ain't mandatory, depends on what religous group you belong to or don't belong and they prepare different studies for these students.

Ok just made a team, Apple Pie. Was running out of money instantly.

Hi!

I would like to correct some points that you guys made. IMO you are going at a good speed in the corners. Atleast in a higher speed then Tomba in his replay, if i'd had to guess your setups problem it would be you have too much downforce. That track is mainly straight so you don't need the downforce, if you compare these two replays you can see that you are clearly losing in straight speeds. In the main straight about 20km/h and in the uphill section 15km/h and that is hurting your time. Your braking point for the first corner is also later then the usual braking point. Cornering was fine so the problem is straights.

Hello to everybody

I'm an enthusiatsic newcomer about LFS

I've 2 short questions for you:

1) what I've to do to use the downloaded skins? where can I find them?

2) where can I find "the replay analyzer "Analyse for speed"?

Thank you very much

On top of this page you can see useful links:

- LFS Main Site
- LFS World
- LFS News

- LFS Merchandise

1) From there find a link "Skin tutorial".

2) From the "links" section you'll find answers for your second question.

Quote from DevilDare :

hmmmm, i picked up a clip of youtube before it got removed (again..) It was from kovalainen's cockpit, and it did look like he punched the air, but he punched "up" not "forward" so i dont really get how can u hit pit limiter buttona and turn it on. Well lets hope he doesnt make the same mistake again.

As i heard it, in an interview it was his elbow that hit the limiter.

I also think he was only trying to tear the visor off. No point in celebrating when you are just accelerating to the main straight. And he did make mistakes in the last years GP so i think he was trying to be extra careful for this one, so i don't see the possibility of him celebrating at that point.

Then about Mclarens pitlimiter gotta wonder how its setup. Quoting Marc Gene "I was surprised by Kovalainen's mistake. It's unbelievable that Mclaren haven't made any changes after the mistakes that happened to Hamilton in Brazil in 2007" (Taken from finnish article quating Gene from El mundo magazine so the translation might not be so accurate.) So he thinks that the loss for speed in the last GP last season was due to similar pressing of the pitlimiter. Again quoting "Ferrari's pitlimiter only goes on in low speeds, never when the car is doing topspeeds."

So i might partly blame Mclaren about the functionality of the speedlimiter. Whats the point keeping it so that it can be pressed on in high speeds...

Quote from zeugnimod :

+1.

He was just lucky and profited from the mistakes/DNFs of the others. Until 5 laps before the end.

I think Vettel will beat him clearly in most of the races.

+1

I also think Vettel will give him a really hard time. If i had to bet i'd say Vettel is going to have more points in the end of the season.

Quote from zeugnimod :

Did he say something different?

He said that he was visible for other drivers when the ACTUAL RACE happened. :rolleyes:

My english might be a bit off . This is exactly what i meant.

Quote from JO53PHS :

From the other drivers point of view, you were never even in the race until the last corner of lap 6. So even if you were lagging it wouldn't have been a problem for them anyway because you technically weren't even in the race.

You should check the replay. There you can definedly see that i'm visible to the other drivers. Would have posted this subject to this thread http://www.lfsforum.net/showth ... ?t=7059&highlight=mpr if i'd thought so.

Quote from JO53PHS :

It may have been caused by lag. You could have lagged from just before joining until the green lights, so the server never 'knew' your car was in the race.

I know nothing about how LFS Servers work, so I'm probably completely wrong

Heh yeah, also about the lag i don't think there was any more then usual. Like i said we had really close fights in the race so i think others would have had problems sticking near me.

I think i joined pretty early, even before the reds. But can't be sure cause can't check the replay .

Did a 6 lap race on CTRA single seater 2 server last night. Decided to save it and watch the start again as we had 3 cars side by side and no collisions. Then later on when i watched the replay it just says in the beginning that i'm in the pits. Then on last lap on lap 6 i magically reappear to the final straight and the game is saing that i have left the pits.

I think that everybody in the race could see me. It can be seen as i had a tight fight with -willi- halfway trough the first lap and on the final lap with ehnico.


Then i thought that the problem was only in my end and downloaded the replay from the server. But it turns out that also in that replay i am missing.

So what could be the reason, might be that before the start of the replay i actually was in the pits and entered just when the race was about to start.


Here are both of the replays, first one from my point of view and the second from the server.

Here is the FLP 2048 skin. The 1024 version is in lfsworld.

Quote from R.Kolz :

Good it was a test race only.

- [TDRT] 104 T.Jessen, he told me, had his settings at "always change tyres", "not setup changes" and "no damage repair" as he leading this race, does his pitstop and,however, it fixed all damage and we only got 1 tyre changed. (LFS bug?)
- Lap 79, the later Race Winner No. 03, Adaptive Racing Team I think it was, overtakes us and gains 3th position under SC period.No overtaking under SC...
- Lap 80 we lost some positions once more under a SC as we´re hit from behind
- Lap 82, car No.23Team"Fred Loves Pie" doesn´t have any overlap and takes TDRT on 4th position out once more.
- We had to race against blue flagged cars a lot of times.C´mon ppl., don´t decide the race...
Good this was a test race only...

Anyways, thanks to the race admins. Season 2008 is going to be a lot of fun, I´m sure about.

I would like to add to your list:

- Lap 68 car No.104 leaves a cap before the safety car pits in and starts an overtaking manouver before the green flag. IMO you clearly overtake two or three cars before the flag is green.

But anyway checked the second half replay out of interest and that is admins nigtmare, if it were the actual race.

Sorry again You just poped up on my screen and bam, i hit you

Well no worries. We were 2nd in the lottery .

Quote from niall09 :

What a very good race. A great race for me personally, getting up to 4th place

I'd just like to say sorry to Jouman, after the safety car, i rear ended him in the chicane and lost a few positions. There was a bit of lag but im sorry for my error.

Aa it was lag then its ok. Was a bit pissed off i mean i had just climped up from 19th to 9th or something. I was slowing down quite suddenly though cause the cars ahead of me had a collision and i wanted to avoid them, but i guess you couldn't see that incident from behind me. Then again was in the back of the field.

Well the whole race was a bit like lottery and the most dangerous situations were under SC. I think there needs to be rereading of the rules alot.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Lee, the plate .psd file already has both a black and a gray background layer.

Though I do agree that the black on black logo is less than ideal.

Hi!

I have some problems with the IGTC_Plate_Kit.psd. I'm using Gimp, just downloaded the latest version of it 2.4.4. I can locate the layers just fine black and grey, but the grey also appears to be black. Anybody else having any issues with this or is it just me?

Quote from Dark Elite :

I agree with Zuggy, but only up to a point: if the victim spectates because they're completely incapable of continuing, stuck in a gravel trap or rolled over or whatever, then the person responsible for that should spectate too. Eye for an eye.

However, if the victim spectates immediately because they can't be bothered trying any more, I don't think the guilty party should be made to do so too. It could've been a really minor mistake which led to someone getting annoyed and whacking Shift-S without thinking about it, and personally I don't think someone else's race should be finished off because of that.

I'd also be a bit annoyed if I felt obliged to get a non-finish on my stats just because someone who cut across me can't be arsed to turn out of a spin, if you see what I mean.

Sam

This all sounds nice and everything. My question is how does one know that the other one has been rolled over/stucked to the sand or just decided to spectate cause he couldn't be bothered. I mean usually in insident's like this the "guilty" party is ahead of the "victim". IMO usually these are unfortunate racing incidents and it's just tought luck that the other got stuck in sand or on hes roof. So atleast the other should continue racing.

Quote from SamH :

Jouman, what's the indicator sequence for "your passenger looks hot.. wouldn't mind a piece of that!"?

The indicator isn't enough. You'll need couple of horns in there too.
horn - horn - right - left and hazards. I think that should do the trick

Quote from zeugnimod :

Also he only signals to the left once AFAIK so if the light doesn't flash a second time you know that he isn't going to turn left.

How about with the newer cars today, they tend to have the system that when you touch the indicator once it flashes three times.
I used to signal somebody if they wanted to pass, but not anymore just because of this.

Quote from Jakg :

I know in Ireland using the Hazards as a way of saying "Thanks" is popular, though, but it doesn't confuse other road users.

Seen this happen here in finland also, a bit funny when first the guy ahead indicates to the right (its ok to pass), then the other car passes using indicators to switch lanes and after returning to the correct lane he indicates once to the left saing "thanks" and the other responds with the hazards "your welcome".

Quote from j j :

I would just like to say thank you. The patch is great. Everything about the handling feels so much better, more responsive, immersive and real.. I had almost quit playing lfs but this has made it so much more fun. The changes are subtle but the make all the change in the world in my opinion.

My g25 says thanks too!

Have to agree with you there. Now that i have been driving the new patch a bit more imo it feels better then the old one. With the new clutch a bit more challenging and with the improved physics it has more feeling.

So thanks to the developers/testers and everyone who has been working hard for the new patch.

Tricky car to handle. Haven't driven much this combo and gave it a go.
The setup seems to work for race. The tires seem to take some time to get their heat up. The gearing seems just fine but i'm not much of a mechanic .

My time with your setup 1.19.94 after 11 laps run out of fuel and this was my first go. So getting used to the track/setup after 6 laps so after that the times are ok.

Hope this helps


Ps. Checked your replay. Couple of pointers if you may. T1 braking too late, T2(after the long straight) turning in a bit too early -> turn becomes a bit too sharp try to make it smoother and maybe T5(second to last corner, downhill braking) i think in this one too you might be turning in a bit too early. Other then these seemed fine.
