Quote from duke_toaster :No, it's lunchtime as opposed to the race finishing at the time most people are eating their breakfast.

Hmmm yeah. Singapore is seven hours ahead of London; I thought it was less than that. I think race start is 9PM, is that right?

Quote from dawesdust_12 :... Why don't they save the electric bill, and just make it a daytime race?

Nighttime in that part of the world is primetime in Europe, so the potential viewing audience is much higher. Bernie likes money.

Quote from rjm1982 : we were playing a game of football in the grass area next to us... Dale Earnhard Jr joined us about halfway through... had a beer and played a little ball

I don't really care for NASCAR at all, but that's really cool.

Quote from bbman :But hey, some people like to play fortune teller...

Right, it makes the race more fun to predict beforehand what you think will happen. If you don't want to read people's opinions in an F1 discussion thread, why open the damn thing Mr. Complainy-pants?

1) If you got banned from every server, it wasn't "for no reason", it was for a very good one. Probably cheating.

2) Posting a whiny thread on this forum won't help you anyway. You have to contact the devs directly.

3) If you were cheating, you deserved it and you won't get a refund. In that case, go to hell.

Quote from bbman :Yeah sorry, I got the wrong guy... I meant Lateralus...

Whenever I've started a race discussion thread, I've had race-specific things to talk about.

Quote from chanoman315 :yes to CART (when it was cart ) and A1GP...

Pfft. I liked CART when it was in its heyday, but calling those races grands prix is an affront to real grand prix racing. F1 cars only.

Anyway, my point is that you don't need to get into the paddock to have a great time at an F1 race. In fact I'd rather not pay my way inside - I'll take a free opportunity to do so of course, but otherwise I'd rather sit outside next to the fence in the mud and rain, drinking beer and smoking weed with the rest of the real F1 fans. I've done it twice and it is truly fantastic.

Quote from chanoman315 :i want to go to F1 races but i find it "boring" just go to see the cars racing

Have you ever been to a grand prix? Even if you only have general admission, standing room-only tickets it is anything but boring.
Spelling / Wording / Formatting

The new PB section on my MyCTRA page needs reformatting. "South City Chicane Course Reversed (standard)" makes the "Track" field too long, so the title for the "CTRA Record" field gets cut off. I just see "CTRA Reco".

Speaking of which, the track is South City Chicane Route, not Course.

In the blue flag rules section, in the Unlapping section is written "arrisen". It should be spelled "arisen".

Tiny details I know, but I noticed them nonetheless.

A couple of mine have sat there for weeks now as well. One recent one got processed while two older ones were seemingly neglected. Not complaining, just noticing. I thought reports were processed in the order in which they were received.

Good. Go away. No one cares what you think.

Quote from perzik :
p.s. i want to excuse for my english

Your English is better than that of most native English-speakers.

I can't comment on keyboard controls, but the bottom line is that you should try to get a wheel as soon as you can. Not only because it'll make you faster (the car goes quicker when you can make smooth, steady inputs rather than the jerkiness that goes with digital input) but because it adds a whole new layer of immersion and enjoyment to the gameplay.

Try to get one as soon as you can mate. Shouldn't be too expensive.

Quote from Becky Rose :There is no such thing as a good insurance company. They're ALL guilty. They're ALL bastards.

I agree with this statement.

This has been suggested many, many times before. Surely you're aware of the search feature considering you mentioned it in your thread yesterday.

How do you propose LFS predicts each shift? It wouldn't know until you actually shifted, which would mean the animation would be delayed and thus pointless. Either that or LFS animates the shift whether you actually do so or not. Say you're going through 2nd but miss 3rd and just sit there on the limiter - the man inside is animated pulling the shifter even though you don't actually shift.

Neither scenario makes any sense. It's a waste of coding time that could be put to much better use elsewhere.

I took the free driver's ed class which was offered at my high school when I was 16. I got my license when I was 16 1/2, so 7 years of safe, accident-free driving.

I can't believe how much some people pay for car insurance. I pay $380 per year. I'm 23, no accidents, no tickets, and drive a 1998 Acura CL.

Well there are four corners on the screen, not two. Sorry for not being specific enough for you.

Quote from Stefani24 :Options/Display
...

Can you even read? Currently we can only choose left or right. We can't choose anything else - top or bottom, corner or center, etc. Ideally we should just able to drag and drop it where we like.

A better idea would be to just modify the title of the General Racing Talk subforum to "General Cars/Racing Talk".

Bumping this ancient thread because it's a good suggestion.

We should able to move the minimap to where we please. At the very least we should be able to choose which corner it's in.
Profile Image Upload Doesn't Work Correctly

I first noticed this bug months ago when I tried to upload my profile picture to the CTRA site. Basically, it doesn't line up correctly at all. A normal tall rectangle gets cut off like this guy's:

http://www.raceauthority.com/stats/?licence=DaxZero

I had to edit mine by adding white space to one side in order for it to look correct.


As an aside, my name doesn't even show up correctly. My license name is Lateralus and I listed my real name as "E Brown". I often only use the first letter of my first name among casual acquaintances, so that's what I use on CTRA. In the "Driver Of The Moment" thing however, that letter gets entirely cut off, so I'm listed as just "Brown".

Quote from Homeless_Drunk :not mechanically sound as other engines? no torque? where do you get your facts from?

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ukwjliJHvyU

Well it is true that the torque delivery is relatively low for a given rotational speed compared to conventional reciprocating engines, but it isn't 'no torque'. At the speeds at which a Wankel engine would typically run in a car, for example, the torque is sufficient but not gigantic.

To say they aren't as mechanically sound is just silly. They are extremely simple and robust and are therefore much more mechanically sound compared to reciprocating engines. That's one of their main advantages.
