Err... did you already send 2.4.8 to 500Servers?

I am still not able to update - I only see 2.4.7 - but this version is a bug as you are... LOL

+1 for the oval...

But imagine that button in a UFR / XFR... at BL1:

You just passed someone before T1. Then you press the button to get rid of him on the long straigt - but he manages to stay not that far away by drafting. You mess up your bracing point a bit because of the higher speed. He is close again!

Then just after the last turn he now presses the button an can catch you on start finish line - you can´t press the button now, because you only can press it once in 30 sec.

But just after the chikane you can press it again and and he can´t.

On the other hand... have you counted? You pressed the button twice - the other guy only once. Would be interesting how often you are able to press it any more at the end of the race...

Good possibilities to overtake - or to make mistakes and some tactics too..

GREAT!

An other thing:

is it possible to also check if someone is using a gears cheat?

I mean: XFG and 6 speed gearbox = lifetime ban everywhere...

Not sure if it is a bug:

if a limad2 uses the commad !pl, he can see the ban buttons. But if he uses !rn he can´t see them.

Did I miss something or is that a feature?

Hmm... well taking a look at the replays only the acceleration cheaters have is way better - the top speed however seems to be locked at the common possible speeds with drafting.

So only a acceleration check would work. But how to find out what values to use?

At race start it is no problem to check I think, but acceleration out of a turn... hard to say indeed. So the only thing to check would be the "MaxSpeedNodes" at a few nodes only.

The "impossible" split times are not very useful Normal sad kids that cheat are not able to drive turns - they are only fast at the straights. So they mostly don´t have impossible splits. But there indeed are very fast drivers that manage to at least drive one split faster than the WR...

I don´t think there really is much to do against those idiots

Sorry for digging that out - but I was to suggest a push to pass button. But the seach function told me that it already had been suggested.

However I just visited the DTM race at the Nürburgring this weekend and I also have seen the VW Scirocco cup too.

These cars have 225hp and a push-to-pass button to increase the power by 50hp to 275hp for 10 sec only.

This button can be pressed 10 times a race and there has to be a brake of 30 sec. after you pressed it.

I really think this makes a race even more interesting! You can pass at the end of a straight - but others see that you are using the button atm as a blue light is switched on in the front and the back while using the button.

There also is a LED in the rear window showing how often you still can use this button.

There are a lot of damn cheaters online atm - and the devs don´t do anything agains

Well I would like to use Airio to catch some of these idiots at least.

Does someone already have reliable values for "MaxSpeedNodes" and "AllowedSpeed" for XFG/XRG @ BL1?

I think we all should work together against cheaters and it´s way easier to share such information.

An other thing would be to add a acceleration check to Airio too. If an XFG manages to accelerate 0-100kmh under 6 seconds, it is a cheat.

yep and all 6 S2 servers are free for everyone too. Only Redline Racing 8 disallows the LX6 until you gained 200 race points with the LX4 on that server.

But my intention was rather to allow complete default config for each new driver, where admins could set what is and what is not by default shown, with people free to adjust the settings later.

Cant´t wait to get that feature

Quote from JustForFunRacing :

Oh, yes, you are right - I will try to correct that.

But I am very short of time at the moment due some personal trouble.

I will do it - but it might take some time.

Grr.. I didn´t save the scene so I had to create it again right from the scratch... here it is:

Quote from lizardfolk :

Sorry for the late response but those renders are great thanks



That looks wonderful John. The more renders we have the better. Keep me updated on your progress (and thanks for choosing to render our skins )

EDIT: JustForFunRacing...I noticed an error with your render. The left rear wheel is a little messed up. Here, this is the problem. Would you mind fixing it?

You are right - but these morons act the same way they choose their names...

Of course you can get rid of such usernames - But I am talking about license names.

So if they aren´t able to register a demo license with such a name a few of them might give up at all (I honestly hope...)

IF**KADMINS, HEILHI**ER etc...

Well if you want to buy a cheap wheel, stay with keys or mouse tbh!

Try to find a Logitech Driving Force Pro (I have just sold my 2 years old used one on ebay for 60€) - this is a good wheel and you will have fun with it! (don´t be scared if it only says: PS2 wheel - it works ootb!) Perhaps they are cheaper now.

If you want to buy a Microsoft Force Feedback wheel (I had one before I bought my DFP) you have to buy (and find first) the USB version with the red rubber - and be sure that the driver CD is included (you cannot download the driver anymore). The gameport version does not work anymore with any Windows version newer than Win98.

If you find such a MS wheel you also have to google for the registry patch that allows you reporting 2 axis for brake/throttle instead of one combined axis - else it would be very difficult to drive the bigger RWDs.

But as others said the Logitech momo wheels are very good too.


EDIT:
Btw: One of my Team mates is still using keys and he is able to drive faster than the WR in the LFR cars (LFR= LX6, RAC, FZ5)

Well the skins you can use are checked if they contain offensive or sexual content. (At least you can read it in LFSW)

But what about license names?

I have seen a lot of very offensive license names and I am wondering why it is possible to register these names...

omg... you are right - the skin is totally messed up

SORRY!

I am rendering it again this afternoon! (my home PC is way faster so it´t won´t take the whole night)

EDIT: updated

Well your skin is...

but ok.. I did a fast one...

@lizardfolk and @Deutschland2007:

I hope they are OK for you - else tell me

EDIT: uploaded render with corrected Skin

Err... Does every ban count - vote bans AND bans by an admin? And does the length of a ban 12h or more matter?

EDIT:

And what about a ban I issue after someone left my server?

Last edited by JustForFunRacing, Thu 28 Jan 2010, 13:11.

Hello admins,

I just wrote a little php/html script to keep the overview of your Airio log.

You e.g. can embed this script in an iframe in a forum post to make the Airio log available for team members e.g. .

You can choose to display a special server only if you like (instead of all servers in one big log) and you can filter to display a expression only like "BAN" e.g. . So you should be able to find any entry quite easy.

To get that script working for you, you have to edit a few lines in my script:

1. paths to your Airio root folder: line 12 for the yesterday log and 13 for the current log (I don´t plan to write a unzip script to view older logs too, because you won´t have write access for unzipping files at the log folder with a script anyway)
   
2. edit the amount and name of your servers:
   

• line 19: set the value of size to the amount of your server +1
  

• starting line 20: edit the name of your server and add or remove lines according to the amount of your servers - but keep line 24 if you would like to see all servers.
  

Please keep in mind, that EQWorry currently updates his Airio and will change the file name of the current log to "log.txt". Then you should be able to open the current log remotely with a path like that:

"http://123.456.789.99/name/gameserver/xyz12345/Airio_FULL/log.txt"

Just ask your server hoster for the correct path. Some hoster e.g. have to allow remote access to your Airio files explicit on your request.

Thanks, but I need this echo to verify if the script worked on a manually call.

However EQ suggested to call the script in the in the cfg. Will test it

Err.... never noticed that before:

Is it a normal behaviour that the "Airio Script v5.0.7 by mc0676: DB Updated SuccessFully" confirmation is sent to the public Airio chat?

@zonda 722:

here we go:

@Bee

I did a first try - I hope it´s ok... I just have started with rendering.

@Deutschland2007

not very good, but it´s ok until Borkanier can render you a better version...
