# 25 Zwarte Wind Racing

KeiichiRX7, Owen Atkin, USA
DarinSRT, Darin Gangi, USA
Shaun Cole, Shaun Cole, USA
B.Gossler, Ben Gossler, USA

Updated lineup to include ben.

Also, in need of a backup for 2 of the drivers for #12. Uncontrollable circumstances dictate that they may not be able to race on raceday. Does anyone have a spare driver that wants to race, but isn't presently in use? Please PM if so, we would be eternally grateful. We certainly don't want to add a dnf to the scores before this party even gets started.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Well, a racing car is pretty special equipment.


As for pitspotters, the only racing that uses them are ovals, and ovals are mostly American. I'd love to be able to say it's because American drivers are useless, and that all other nationalities manage just fine without them, but I'd get flamed if I said it. Oh...

I'd just like to take a moment to invite Mr Cliffe to go screw himself(1)

Ok that taken care of, you know damn well what I mean. In a real car you have your full field of view(2), and if ya want to look left, you simply do so to your heart's content. There's no ackward mid corner button pressing, or requirment of additional equipment. Chances are unless you have the vision of the average trout you can still see whats ahead out of the corner of your eye, well enough to reflexively look forward again at least should anything sudden happen (not that you should be looking away from your direction of travel for extended periods anyway).

(1)I can think of a certain Ex Formula 1 driver with a few GP wins under his belt that is getting his ass handed to him in an American series. He's even got spotters!
More seriously though, what is your deal with American drivers? Did you have some kind of childhood shattering experience? One touch you in a no-no spot when you were a kid?
(2)In LFS, your view angle is significantly less (just a reality of having a monitor in front of you) even with FOV set at 120 (humans have nearly 180, not quite though).

Qualifying
In the week before a race on Sunday and Friday nights at 21:00 CET (summertime when applicable) qualifying sessions of one hour will be held. Teams can run an unlimited amount of laps during these sessions, but may only have one car on the track at all times. The fastest lap of the team counts for the starting positions.


DWB found it, not sure where. My ass is going back to bed. see you in a few hours

hmmmmmm oktoberfest.... coincidence?

I agree, especially after the crap I took in the GT2 threads.

Racing numbers aren't issued yet either

What time's qually today?

I'm so tired i cant remember


BEN: I'll have to run some of the early stints (first), sleep in the middle and get up to finish it.

Can we have our racing numbers and GT1/2 markings so we can finish our skins?

Quote from haelje :

i only got this in my ATI Catalyst Control Center
version 7.9
OS: Vista 64bit

"Extend Main Onto Monitor"

Quote from LFSn00b :

I'm sorry if the text at the back can be a little offending. I was a fan of him, and liked him to have a piece of my skin

I quite like it. It's good to honor your hero's memory.

because there isn't proper clutch or engine simulation yet. Without these two things it would go from "why can7 1 st4llzor teh car!?!" to "*explative* (insert engine or clutch) made me stall on teh grid! I hate you scavier!"

When it's ready they will have it

I'll try to screenshot the results I get, i dont think it likes ATI

Phil, where's the list?

Quote from KeiichiRX7 :

Ran the test session with a very small turnout.



Pretty pleased with the results and have made one small change to the restriction levels, that could still be changed again before the green flag drops at Kyoto.



FXR and XRR 25%

FZR 20%



Was actually quite pleased with how closely balanced all 3 cars were going into this session, coming out the FZR needs a bit of work and more drivers available to put it through it's paces. Thanks to Mercury Racing Team, Orange Racing Team, Triple Seven Racing, and Zwarte Wind Racing for thier time and effort.



Next week we will test at South City Long.

Same Bat Time, Same Bat Station.

that was posted last week in last weeks test thread, for those that were paying attention. As for ths short notice: Sick in bed all of monday, the rest of the week was sent either in the office of a new employer or at with with my current employer, with a smattering of 6 hours of sleep. that's 10am tuesday morning through 12pm saturday night. As phil said, I've got a life aside this too, which has to take priority.


Razvan: Better part of half a year? "How about since X came out". The test sessions were there, I only saw you (pro-drive) in attendance to one of them.

Quote :

There are 5 GT2 teams shown on the latest application list, all the rest is GT1, why should the GT1 teams test a GT2 car if they don't plan to drive it?

Nobody said that the only cars that could be driven were GT2. It was an opportunity for all teams to not only assist in the balancing process, but assess the challenge presented by the course. Your loss.

Also, read the title of this thread, you know wha the powersettings are, nothing is stopping your preparations.

First of all, nobody's being "relegated" and nobody "has" to drive a gt2. Nobody was guaranteed a GT1 spot in the first place, you can't relegate someone who was never up front to begin with. It's an Invitational series., as has been said many times.

Application not accepted for GT1? Didn't aply for GT2? Nobody's going to force you to drive a GT2 car.


As for the announcement of the session, It was announced in last weeks test race thread. And much like last week, only 4 teams showed up.


There were 5 gt2 entries on the last PUBLIC list

FXO GTR - 25%
XR GTR - 25%
FZ 50 GTR - 20%


The FZR balance may be off a little, but theres nothing I can do about it if people don't show for testing. FXR and XRR are pretty much neck and neck.

Going to be an interesting season

well, to be honest it's partially my fault. we could have been one more test race along if i hadn't slept through the one core hosted. BUT, my pillow REALLY missed me.

If i'm right the results here will be the mirror opposite of the KY test, because of teh surface and composition of the course.

I expect the XRR and FXR to dominate this session, with teh FZR's snap oversteer making it a very tricky car on the streets of south city

FXR and XRR: 25%
FZR: 20%

Test race conditions will be the same as before, but at SO Long, with the schedule moved forwad slightly.

Qualifying starts at 1700 UTC and will run for half an hour. A short intermission will follow, followed by a 2 hour race.

Server is "n!faculty.racing Event"
User Pass: force

This test is important, without test drivers it will be impossible to accurately balnce all the cars

Quote from herki :

We already have Fern Bay Club, so that leaves us with the following possiblities: Diamond, Spades and Heart. Fern Bay Heart would be great

Nice choice of naming schemes

The user that made the video however was using the CSR program, basicly an external sound engine for LFS that works via outguage

Uh, that would be a no go sir. It started responding, BUT seems to show my entire spanned monitor as the extreme left or right monitor.

tried to fraps some video of this behavior for you, but it didnt like it.

ah, the game minimizes when my dashboard software loads up, so i need to switch resolutions back and forth to make it work?

nothing changes when i press M.

Is it the way youre getting the Key?
Is it my 3monitor (2x on AGP 1X on pci) setup? I disabled the 3rd monitor, so that shouldnt be it.

I think I did all that stuff, but I'll have another go of it by the book

EDIT: no good, pressing M just doesnt do anything.

how about more details about the CFG file? So we know what everything is

How should one go about setting this up for instance, what resolution should the sim be set to?

Also pressing M doesn't do anything for me
