I was wondering, its not allowed to have signature's with pictures etc on this forum, because we dont want complete christmass trees etc...

We may have league bars, because there small, the thing i was wondering about is, we may use 4 lines of text in our signature, i dont know how high the lfs-status signatures are, but these arent annoying or big. I think the www.lfs-status.de signatures could be an answer for this forum, its totally LFS minded, they arent too big, and they show the driver statistics...

I think these are

mine for instance on other forums:

http://www.lfs-status.de/usersig/1849/sig.gif

I think these would be ok to use... Whadda you guys think???

WOoowwww what happend here???

Good to see you guys making a new team... Dunno what happend dont wanna know.

I can tell you this, there isnt a better thing then friendship etc, and it shows... Same goes with our team, same situation a year ago.

Lemme tell you this. A team without drivers is like a car without a engine...
ZWR was only a name... Now its Cp... I cant see the difference... Or lets say in 6 months orso???

You guys will get it together im sure...

Good Luck,

Why on earth has the virtual counters (rev, speedo) been removed on some cars, i cant understand why the Fbmw DOES has Virtual counters and a XFG dont... Remove it completly or dont touch it. This change is stupid and unnessesary... :banghead:

There have been things changed which were good and there are changes which didnt need tobe changed, i simply cant understand some changes... If its good dont touch it...

Im not entirely negative, there are loads of good things, and offcourse its a test patch to fix things... But some changes i simply cant understand, anyways, im gonna make a list of things which imo are strange and unnessasary...

Also the cooling down of the clutch is ridicules slow... It burns up really fast... Too fast imo... The cooling down is ridicules slow. This needs tobe optimized and redone imo..., also when burning up the clutch, were is the smoke???

First time i got irritated with LFS in a long time... With some things that is...

The Fbmw is just good fun, tracks have been updated, imo SC is a bit too clean, a citytrack needs curbstones etc. Ive noticed better textures etc... Thats all good... But these small things are irritating.

Like the russians always say, if it works DONT CHANGE IT...

Dawm this is the first time im gonna say that i dont like the improvements with this patch, its the clutch and the shifting....

This way of shifting doesnt feel LFSischhh... Maybe more real life, but somehow i cant say i like this way of shifting... I can see Logitech has a share in LFS now... This is gonna cost us alot of pedal boxes...

Anyways i dont like this way of shifting....

Rest of the patch is ok sofar....

Hello guys,

The Orange Racing Team is searching for some new LFS drivers.

ATM were only recruiting Dutch drivers, we need about 4 new guys in total. Its very hard to find Dutch drivers so maybe we will go international next year but till then its cheeseheads only...

- You must be ready to take part in league's, its not mandatory but it will be a big + if you want to.
- You must be a Dutch guy or you can understand the Dutch Language.
- You must be able to participate atleast once every 2 weeks in a team test or race.
- You need to have a steering wheel, this is mandatory.
- LFS beginners are welcome also, our team is very good in bringing novice drivers to a higher level.
- You must have a headset and be willing to join teamspeak. We use this 24/7 when racing.

Anyways we just need a few good active dutch cheeseheads in our team tobe ready for next years league's...

So if youre dutch and you want to race in well known league's as Battle of the Teams and Masters of Endurance youve come to the right place...

Plz give me a shout on MSN [email protected] or sent me a private message.

Quote from AndroidXP :Err yes, that's already the case. Actually that's one of the reasons physics and track updates come seldom but in big packages, just so the WR stats don't have to be reset so often.

Oeee nevermind what i said....


I thought after the tyre physics change the WR stuff wasnt deleted... Guess im blind or something then... Not that i will ever come near to some WR's but...

Looking forward to the engine breakdowns... Hope they wont do BANGGG and its all over but that they will do it after you overrev it with the downchange etc....

Also its great to hear the redline limiter stuff is improved...

What about old track records, i hope they will reset all the records since on some tracks it impossible to improve them ever again...

Everytime there is a physics update the track records should be archived and deleted imo...

Anyways, after looking @ the video im highly enthousiastic...

Nice work with the teamspeak, ive added it to my server list.

Anyways, imo with 28 teams +/- 100 drivers there surely are some guys who could give some support to the admins, fill in some empty work spaces.

I simply cannot and will not believe that the MoE series will stop before or after the next race. That would be ridicules. Ahhh well see....

[quote=csimpok;585655]After protesting against the half of the grid, don't you think there is something wrong with you and your driving? If a GT1 is behind you try to choose a clear line (right or left side of the road) and stay there, your movements are quite unpredictable.
[quote]


Strange that the Organisation found the protest legit and gave them a penalty... Who is wrong now???

And if we were such a pain in the ass why dont we have protest from other teams then??? If there are any, plz do post and let the organisation tell if its wrong or right.

So if you think we were waving from the left to the right plz do post... Because as far as i know i didnt... Ow and btw, racing is fighting for position. If you had let me settle my pace would have picked up and if prob would have driven away... But i was too busy keeping you behind...

You got annoyed and pushed me out of the way and you got a penalty for that, live with it...

That was called cold tyres, and i may defend or not??? I did not do a single sigg zagg once on the straight so thats.....

That your driver got irritated because he wasnt fast enough to pass and then rammed me out of the way is not very professional either.

If you think it was unfair just make a protest.

Ruling by admins: Both protests lead to penalties

1ST STINT,

I got 2 protests


First one:

#24 hitting my car #27
Time: 19.48 minutes into the race
Lap: 12
Place: Just after T1 in the double slow left handers
Caused me to spin around.



Second one:

#14 GT1 hitting me in the back #27
Time: 42.58 minutes into the race
Lap: 28
Place: Just after T1 the double slow left hander comming out the left hander just before the corner going uphill.
Caused again a spin.

Replays are availeble so no need for me to post them i think??

Worm you say they need tobe more strict??? Stop complaining about your penalty then... Deal with it, its a 6H race, starting 1st or last isnt gonna make a big difference...

TBH whats way wayyyyy more irritating then a simple mistake, is the bloody join and pit in messages, those really need to taken away in the next LFS patch... Dawm its soooooo annoying... Id rather see a small message then this.

I hope things will improve a bit, dunno why, the admins do their best, but im not enjoying these series a little bit...

Its just, there are so much small things that are so freaking annoying, id been questioning myself if i will be participating in the next series...

Ahh well, it destroyed my race, it was all a bit lagy so let it be...

Anyways, i want to say some thing about the BoTT races, ive been racing in some races and im not entirly positive...

Point 1

Chatting during the qualify and race, this is totally NOT DONE... IMO talkers should get some penalties ASAP, this problem keeps returning every race, its just soooo annoying, tbh it cost me my qualifying, i finally had a good lap and suddenly peeps start talking aarghhh...

Point 2

Thanks to a shunt, lets say a little race accident ive ended up last, with loads of time between me and the next one, although i kept on pushiing and pushing i ended up 8th... Not bad imo, but there are some riders, which IMO dont belong in this series, with all the respect, but ive seen some actions which belong on a DEMO server, a teamm8 of mine on server 1 got crashed thanks to a backmarker....

IMO the BoTT series are getting a bad name due to all this crashing etc... Ok were with 30 cars on the track, but sensible guys will handle that, ive seen loads of cars upside down and crashing into eachother in lap 1, its a bit ridicules...

Server 1 mainly has the top drivers of LFS, some i think these things happen mostly on server 2 and 3.

Maybe an idea for next year to make a 107% rule of the fastest time, ive seen someone drive a PB with a 1.39 time...

Anyways, ive had a good race, ive pushed back into the points, but im not that happy with this race series, its popular but i cant say its the most enjoyable atm... i hope things will improve.

Clear enough then... And also dont forget to safe tha bloody replay...

Well ok clear enough then about the overtaking procedure...

Hope it will work out on SCity...

Dru, imo lets say if a GT2 or a GT1 got hit in a inproper way. The own teams could make a replay post it on here say the time and lap it occured and thats it basically, only thing what the admins need to take a look @ the replay and judge the incident... So imo it wont increase there workload that much...

If im correct in severe crashes we do this already or???

What im wondering about is, do the admins make their own replays of the race so we only need to say what happend when, or do we need to make the replays by ourselves???

Anyways, i aint get out of the way of divebombers anymore, otherwise i get myself into the dangerzone, they can pass in a safe way or hit me in the back then... :jawdrop:

Let see wots gonna happen.... Propably a Bi....:fence:

Quote from DeadWolfBones :Though I hate to admit it because I'm not a huge fan of his forum self-promotion activities, I have to admit that Gentlefoot's similar rule for his GFC series works very well. There it's mixed class FO8s and FOXs, and any time there's contact between a FO8 and a FOX there's an automatic review. Almost every time the ruling goes against the FO8. This makes it one of the cleanest driving series around, IMO.

I think so too, and its the only way we can completly eliminate this...

I hope they will think about this and consider using it.

I would like to make 1 complaint,

MoE in general was superb but there is 1 thing i would like to discuss, its in general the GT1 cars and overtaking, i hope the admins will be more active checking overtaking actions by GT1 cars... And giving penaltie's because sometimes it was a bit ridicules.

More then once ive been used as a brake for some dive bombers... Wanting to overtake in impossible places.

I hope admins will take a look @ this and be more strict about this. Especially on SCLONG, i mean, its a narrow circuit, you cant just dissapear on such circuits.

Some GT1 guys really have no patience, i think if the admins dont do something about this, that it will get worse by the race.

There are some specific drivers who do this, a warning would be in place, if things like this occur again in SCLONG i think WE (GT2 guys) should make an official complaint about this.

This is the only thing ive been discussing about with my m8's on teamspeak during the race, its the only thing that had been bothering me during the MoE race, and imo the organisation should take a look @ this.

Offcourse its only a small part of drivers from the GT1 cars who do this, there even was a moment in the race that a GT1 car couldnt pass a teamm8 of me in the first corner, what happend was that he probably was frustrated and just rammed into him, and ran him of the road... The point is, that things like this kept on occuring, it wasnt only once, every time these drivers pass this happens.

Imo this is not acceptable in any way, and should be taken care off. since we werent racing for any good position we havent made a official complaint against this driver but in SCLONG it will be different.


Solution:

I think we should discuss this point, every race this returns and imo there should be some sort of rule, that if a GT1 pushes a car out of the way, or hits a GT2 (full contact) he should get reported on IRC with the lap it occured, and if its valid he should get a drive through instantly, without discussing, i mean they are the guys who can avoid the crash or contact, not the GT2 drivers, GT2 drivers cant do anything then, go out of the way asap without losing too much time. And also that the GT2 has the right to take the corner in a normal way, GT2 is as fast in the corners or faster the a GT1 so.... Offcourse i can see from a GT1 driver point that some GT2 guys really are in the way. But then they should make a complaint about it and the GT2 car should get a drivetrough, and not just push the car out of the way.

I think this way, GT1 cars will keep more distance, be more responsible for the action, and i think its the only way we can completly delete this overtaking problem. Its only a select group of drivers who do this, so others should not be bothered about such a rule. Also till this point pushing a GT2 out of the way isnt punisht, and if there is a contact, who's getting mad??? 9 out of 10 times its the GT1 driver complaining about it...

MoE has been superb like i said before, dont get me wrong, but things like this can be solved.
