Hello,

The LFS remote is saying that the server is a DEMO server, when it is in fact a S2 server. I can tell this because its a S2 track, lots of conncetions, cars allowed are S2 and there are objects... plus, I run it. hah!

Thanks,
Mark

No probs!

Fresh instal of LFS

not exactly a killer graphics card.

Also, make sure the power rating is not set to energy saving, or balanced. Whack it onto the Performance setting.

I'm just having a thought. LFS using direct X 7, right? and some peaple has laggy races with decent computers. Why? Because of huge physics calculations?
EDIT: I know nothing about computers

Define 'decent'.

I don't lag at all with a full 32 grid

What are the locations of the servers that you are trying to access?

That's a shame, due to LCS 2.0 in the final stages of development, I could have made an allowance for the button ID's that LFS Mail used.

How many servers use the global database?

I never said to keep attempting to connect to the server forever and ever.

I am asking for a way to request the relay server to reconnect, without having to open a browser myself.

SO I could do a HTTP request for instance using PHP to http://www.lfsworld.net/relaya ... 6&authkey=asoniasd884.

Try reading proeprly buddy, I never said anything about attempting to connect forever and ever.

This is the very reason why I don't bother making any suggestions.

Every single suggestion to make life EASIER, people put the idea down because there is a long winded nasty awful way of doing it.

I don't see the point in you putting this suggestion down, at all.

It would make life a hell of a lot easier.

I know that it wont keep trying for that long, that is the reason why I am asking for a friggen API system. DER! dippy!

And how about if there's server >< server connection issues due to a dodgy router soemwhere for an hour...

Could it be possible to create some kind of API so that we can ask the InSim Relay server to reconnect to the servers?

The connection keeps dropping and I am getting quite fed up with people alerting me that the servers are no longer connected to the Remote/Relay server.

It would be a lot easier if I could just write a routine that ensures that they are connected to it every hour and request the connection to be established once again.

If currentmiles > milestone
and if milestonecompleted !=true
reward, and set that milestone as done.

Don't forget to clear the milestone done, if they leave the track.

Ok moving on ......... great job devs , thx for the new patch

End of 2005/2006 there were screenshots of the new GTR/nGTR cockpits , when did they come out ? Not too long ago , FZR still missing .
An LX8 was to be official released with S2 at the time , do you drive an LX8 ? Nope you cant , there is none .
VW release ? Well no need to start on that one , its been a couple of months .

I have great respect for the devs for all the work and love they put into the game , i still love LFS above all games (yet) but i am getting tired of the same tracks etc etc and all the moaning about not having this , not having that , but guess what , the moaners are right in some kind of scary way .

LFS has been out for the past 6 years , until this day , none of us ever needed a direction button , not even the new drivers .

I apologize for spamming this thread , but this is the way i feel about it , no offense to any of the devs or players .

And you don't 'NEED' an LX8, VWS or more than one car for that matter. You only NEED one track, one car, one setting. It's called FEATURES.

Quote from Shadowww :

Your LTC Demo server forces to drive wrong way in BL1 pits. So it will be wrong.

I know, it's not meant to, wrong track config :P

Quote from Scawen :

Direction to turn is shown when leaving pit garage

Could this be shown with /cruise yes, please.

Quote from Scawen :

What about pit lane penalties for speeding, like drive-through and stop-go? The problem with these is they cannot be cleared unless you drive a lap in the correct direction. Maybe the pit lane penalty system should be disabled in cruise mode - as I understand it is up to the cruise server software developer to check speeds and apply whatever punishment they want to, bypassing the LFS system.

I'm just suggesting this because I think it would be very easy to disable the speeding check.

It'd be nice to have "/reset username" and force the username's car to reset regarldess of the /canreset value.

Also it would be nice to have some more /canreset options (off, reset, repair) maybe? So the car can be returned to its wheels, but no damage restored.

Possibly the ability to alter the colour of a car on everybodys minimap. And the ability to hide a car on the minimap

I'm sure there's more, but don't wanna payload too much.



edit: Also, it would be nice to have an ignore feature added (client & server side), maybe /ignore username on the client side, and /mute username from the server (or server admin via client) which would stop chat messages going through (but it should still send the messages to the server, so as not to stop insim app commands and what not).

I think there needs to be some kind of protection in the demo username system to stop people from creating so many usernames.

There are people in my database that have about 20-30 different usernames,

Eample format:
Myusername1
Myusername2
Myusername3
.....

it makes it near impossible to ban someone from a demo server, the only way to do so is to add a partial ban system into my own insim application.

It really isn't hard to just add that into a SP# section of a packet.

The other way is a pointless, bad work around.

I would want it automatic.

There's no point in having to sift through a deb log, when it isn't really required.

You would need more than just webspace for this to work, as your account would need extra privaliges

If someone with multiple accounts was to be banned, they wouldn't reconnect inbetween account switching.

Yeah, it's rather annoying that you cannot get it as a statistic... would be great to check if someone is using multiple accounts to get around a ban, and suchlike!

Would be especially handy to IP ban/range ban on the demo servers, via insim! *nods*

Quote from Heiko1 :

it would be cool if the lower licenced guys only can Spectate the game


that would be a great suggestion

I mean with reading out PlayerType the type of Human Male/Female racer and Ai racers

I'm aware that you can already do that.

Quote from morpha :

Or keep it simple and announce that the next track is an S2 one before you change track

I wouldn't want to kick them if the next track was meant to be a S2 only track. If that was the case, then the system would only pick a S1 track..
