Quote from danowat :Right, this is going to happen, we (Triple Seven Racing) will host track guides for all track combinations .

Just need to knuckle down and write the buggers

Great project! I can relate to pretty much everything you write about Fe green (even the "corner of hate" is the exact same for me ).

Quote from evilgeek :is BST=GMT? i'm timezone impaired here in the far west, but i'll be there if i can.

BST is British Summer Time (or Bering Summer Time, but I doubt that's meant here ) and thus it should be UTC/GMT+1.

Quote from thisnameistaken :I don't mind taking out the FO8 now and then, but I find the longer Aston configs a bit dull. North is nice because it cuts out a lot of the dull full-throttle sections and the gay chicane onto the main straight, but National/Historic/GP just bore me to death.

Hm, I'm finding historic reverse rather nice in the FO8. Several interesting sections with a great variety of turns, imho. But maybe I just feel that way because I'm really not used to driving the FO8, yet. I haven't been driving it online at all, I think -- yes, a glimpse at my laps chart confirms: 1 lap at BL. That's it.

Well, I'll try to be on your server tonight, gentlefoot. Can't promise anything, though, as I have to see what the missus says .

Well, with the OLFSL race coming up I'll be racing the FO8 on As historic reverse as much as possible (which will probably not be much seeing that I don't have time, but I'll try).

Quote :09. Is this a mod of NASCAR Racing: 2003 Season?
No. We used the NR2003 code as a starting point, taking advantage of its greatest strengths, such as the net code, which allows full fields of drivers to race online in real time, and the replay system, which enables drivers to review their on-track performance. But every major section of the code has substantially improved for the iRacing.com simulation, and large portions are all new.

Whatever that means. Personally, I think iracing is very promising. Not only because of Kaemmer, but also because of John Henry, principal owner of the Boston Red Sox (=money. A lot of it).

Guess it's time to post this again then: Best RAC GTR ever made.

If we should ever get a 4th GTR I would prefer a GTR version of the Raceabout, as we have no mid-engined GTR.

And then there's still the option of getting a WRC-like version of the RB4 along with the Rallye-Pack, of course (which I don't believe will come before S3, if ever. But you never know ).

Please, jamesxing and tristancliffe, could you have your discussion where it belongs? In private? Or would you guys be missing the audience?

Quote from matze54564 :It is maybe true that the grip while drifting is a little bit to high. The grip in uneven tracks is maybe also a bit to high. So i agree what u say´d. But i don´t agree with everything what Richard say´d and i don´t like hes manner to offer hes opinion.

I've been following this thread closely, and honestly, matze, you're the only one whose manners are severely lacking. Richard might have some opinions many people around here don't agree with (which is to be expected), but he's certainly been voicing them in a very civilized manner.

Quote from Yisc[NL] :I don't have a replay in my LFS-folder. Strange, I closed LFS right after the incident.

The temp-replays are only stored as long as you don't close LFS (it has been suggested to change it, but apparantly it hasn't been done, yet).

Quote from deggis :Wasn't the turbo sound already "killed" during patch V test versions?

Maybe letting to set higher values (than 2.0 which is max currently) for turbo volume in the sound editor would be easy way to fix this... or at least a workaround.

You could always turn up the turbo volume all the way and reduce the turbo muffling (or whatever it's called), couldn't you? Or is it still not loud enough then?

Maybe a driver related problem?

Quote from mrodgers :It is my feeling that it is totally bogus to expect someone to move over at all under the blue flag. The faster driver should make a pass just as he would passing anyone else on the track. All the guy recieving the blue flag is responsible for is allowing the pass to go easily and smoothly, ie, lifting a bit to let him by or staying outside and giving the apex to the lead car.

Yes, that's the way I see it, too. Worded my first post wrongly. Nobody should be *expected* to move over under blue flag. It can be a nice move under certain circumstances, though (like, when the blue flagged driver is not racing for positions and does it early enough to not cause any misunderstanding).

Nothing wrong with enforcing blue-flag-rule strictly, but the way General Lee describes it (I didn't see the replay), it sounds like an overly strict (=wrong) enforcement of the rule. It's total bogus to expect someone to move over the instant the blue flag message comes up. And no experienced driver should expect anyone to give room in a chicane. Just my 2c, of course.

Actually, I'm getting some flickering no matter what I set the mip bias to. Higher (0) is supposed to be better than lower (-4), though. But I really don't see much of a differnce, tbh. Shadows flicker a lot sometimes and so do signposts etc. Must be the gfx card, I guess (7600 GT).

Quote from Kalev EST :Now I´m no expert but isn´t the standard TV framerate only about 25 frames per second? And the human eye sees it as a smooth motion...

That's a popular belief and it comes from the fact that the human eye does perceive everything above ca. 25 fps as one fluid motion. However, that doesn't mean that it can't detect more than 25 fps (if one really notices a difference betwenn, say 100 fps and 13k fps, I don't know, but I doubt it).

Probably 50 at max, but I can't really remember. I drove quite a few miles offline in S1, though before I finally jumped online (I was too scared to suck and mess up other people's race :tilt.

Hello meekz, welcome to the forum.

You've actually already found the right place to begin -- the Beginners Forum! Now I'd suggest you have a look at the first 10 threads in this forum (especially the ones from 6th through 10th position) and you've found something that will take you a little bit further .

P.S.: And please, in case you have questions, do use the search function before opening a new thread. Some people can get rather irritated if you don't. Have fun.

Yeah, I was quite surprised when I first tried nKPro and felt that "grain" (too bad the demo is so poor and from all I hear the full version is still way too buggy). It seemed a little too pronounced to me, though. But then again, I drive an old Audi 80 and don't feel much through the steering wheel anyways.

Quote from Hyperactive :I just watched few on-board vids on Sachsenring and I must admit that the track certainly looks interesting.

It does, doesn't it? It's rather hilly with interesting turn-combos and it's lay out like the landscape demanded it. Not like they poured out a mass of concrete somewhere in the desert on a perfectly flat plane. It's supposed to be very challenging, but unfortunately, besides the Moto GP no major racing series actually uses it, afaik.

Quote from (SaM) :Preston, I'm curious, why did you wreck in the first place? Were you trying to express social irritations online? Or what? Lie down on the sofa and tell Dr. Sam..

... and please start by stating your name and admitting that you are a wrecker ...

Preston: Hi, my name is Preston and I'm a wrecker.

Therapist: Very good, Preston, insight is your first step to improvement. to group: Okay, group, let's give Preston a warm welcome.

FYI: Like Buddha contacted Silverstone, I went the other route and asked at the Sachsenring (wouldn't be surprised if hardly anybody outside Germany knows it) if it were possible to get the track licensed and what it would cost. All the ADAC (german automobile-club which runs it) would ask are a few "copies" of LFS for them to give away at competitions or lotteries. However, I doubt they could provide any valuable data of the track (didn't ask, because I didn't want to be too much of a hassle), so that's where money (and workload) becomes an issue again.

I guess you could generalise that: Licenses for big tracks that are run in F1 f.e. will be expensive, while not-well-known tracks will be cheap/no charge for the license itself, but obtaining data will be a problem. Plus, for the majority, driving on the Sachsenring will be no different to driving on a fictional track -- they don't know it, will never drive on it and will hardly ever see it on TV .

(I'd love to have Sachsenring, of course, as I'm planning on driving there at least once this year :tilt.
