Quote from PMD9409 :

-Doing it manually will cause a mess.
-6-7 lap race to the finish ruins the point of a GWC.
-6-7 laps under caution will turn the tires into ice.

So thanks to LFS I say toss it.

Well...it'll be a mess for us admins to calculate...but hey, I wont complain if you guys give me less work to do

Quote from Mustafur :

hmm add more pace car laps at the start?

Do you really want to be under 6 or 7 pace laps at the start? Races over 100 has to be in increments of 10.

Alright guys here's the deal.

I really really wanna implement a G/W/C (green white checkered). For those of you who dont know what it is (you actually should since it's in the rules atm :razz

Quote from lizardfolk :

Green/White/Checker: This is known as "overtime" in racing. We will make 2 attempts at a clean finish. If there is a crash with 2 or more laps to go. The race will be extended. If on the final G/W/C there is still a crash, the race will end under a caution. G/W/C is meant to help create a clean and exciting finish. Emphasis on CLEAN. Please be careful.
Important Note: For those who might feel that this rule would be annoying for the drivers. Keep in mind that G/W/C is overtime already. Therefore, the race should have already theoretically ended. Thus, overtime doesn't necessarily have to be set by an absolute distance. It could end anywhere (as in some other sports). So, under G/W/C conditions, you race for the nearest caution (which could come at anytime) and not the finish. Keep this mentality in mind and it will still be a exciting finish regardless if it ends with a checkered or yellow. A fight is a fight

Here's the problem.

Most of the races will be over 100 laps. In LFS, once the lap counts goes over 100, LFS will only allow laps to be added by increments of 10...so...what do you guys wanna do?

Curious, is there a way to removed the 10 minutes video limitation on your account?

I know before all you needed to do was just make your account a "director" account but that doesnt work anymore.

Someone has told me that you'd have to contact youtube directly to get them to approve your account.

Does anyone know a sure way to get that 10 minute limitation removed from your account? Is it even possible anymore? If you are to contact youtube how would i contact them?

Quote from Vinnylegends :

Maybe for some people it is?
Ever thought about that?

How is that even a justification?

Quote from Soggyfrenchfries :

Yup yup.. it took me a few days to pick it up.. And im basically on all the time.. so there's almost always someone on the server

Lets keep the signup thread clear of other chat now please

Anymore progress?

Quote from PMD9409 :

I wish I knew.

Anyone see Denny Hamlin slaughter Reutimann and Ambrose? Was very sad to see, and the best part is he doesn't get penalised for aggressive driving like Stremme.

@Benny - 2 words "Freaking lucky" - and have a nice weekend.

Yeh, that was screwed.

BTW Marcos Ambrose was sponsored by iRacing LOL!!!!!!

EDIT: Villeneuve might be in NASCAR this weekend: http://www.google.com/hostedne ... gd2KLHXgNuSzmB_hJdM9EFK3Q

Quote from alland44 :

Try to "bump" my car, and I will hit the brakes !
Me and other danes, once drove with numberplates with this text "NO BUMP".

So brake checking someone is better than bumpdrafting?..... Either you haven't thought this through or you have some seriously screwed up standards...

If i see that on someone's car I will never bumpdraft that person.

However, if i see someone i know and that person is fine with bumpdrafting. You can bet I will bumpdraft and I will not let some no skill noob who has no friends or teammates tell me that it's cheating.

Only place where I can see bumpdrafting be outlawed based on principle is open wheels.

Quote from alland44 :

In all computergames, people looks after cheats, so they can win and feel divine. You can cheat all you want, my friend, but you are NOT using my car to do it !

Your way - Why not weld the cars together ???

Yes, you know what else people do in video games? intentional wrecking. Bumpdrafting is a grey area but if you brake check someone, that's malicious wrecking...no if ands or buts.

Bumpdrafting is a part of closed wheel racing. Does it get irritating that someone is winning because of good bumpdrafting? Sure...but it's no different from having a very good drafting partner. Learn to adapt to different disciplines of motorsports

Quote from audimasta :

Server is set to BL GP. Would be nice if you could change it back to FE

Done

Quote from The Very End :

Did I head the word RALLYPACK ?...

Did I hear MOAR OVALS + STOCKCAR

Quote from brt900 :

cant do this i just tried the car and its impossible for me and i just released how crap i am

Hey give it a couple more days of practice. League starts at the end of this month and it is much more than enough time to get yourself good enough to atleast stay on track.

I've been practicing for 2 weeks now and I'm comfortably knocking out low 21s and high 20s. If i can get that much progress within that short of time. You can definitely get in good shape within a month. The server has also become a friendly place. Just ask one of the top runners to help or give some tips and I'm sure they'd lend any support they can give.

Quote from TFalke55 :

could you also get the Lap calculator modded? 136 (135+1) are not quiet possible with the regular LFS system...

Laps Updated

Line up change.

Chadwick will now drive for FBI:

Quote :

Female Body Inspectors: 3
#11, #29, #86

Quote from Tomhah :

Real first and last name: Tommy Østgaard
Username: Tomhah
Car Number: 66
Team: CoRe Racing 2

I'll sort Enersen with you. So now CoRe 2 needs 1 more CoRe member to be a complete team.

Please let me know if there are changes in the line ups

Quote from audimasta :

Real first and last name: Fredrik Enersen
Username: audimasta
Car Number: 99
Team: CoRe Racing

CoRe now has more than 3 drivers. So far the points scoring drivers are 9, 16, and 89.

Let me know if this line up is changed. The lineup can be changed any time as long as it is BEFORE a race's qualifying day.

Quote from AstroBoy :

Skins updated in OP
Just the blue and Helmet have been added i get a feeling ill be running the Blue version rather then green, but just incase.
And made the helmet cause i was bored lol.

Why? I loved the green version

Quote from nathan246 :

my skin

Skin not accepted. If you haven't noticed, the mod already has this skin but it doesn't match the FXO frame.

The Stock Car skins has to be FXO

Quote from burnsy1882 :

Nope, doesn't apply anymore. Until they come back in the winter.

Arrruuugggg...ok

Quote from Thunderhead :

The one I made or the highlights video? If you're looking for mine then i can upload it...

It's this one: http://www.vimeo.com/2672428

Quote from Danas :

skin

That skin isn't nascar style but the requirements are only "stock car" and I've seen a few international stock cars with a similar layout to yours so this skin is fine (the numbers are big enough )

However, I will recommend that all competitors adopt the nascar style layout just for the sake of simulating a stock car environment.

Thanks,
Lizard

Rudy van Buren just beat our times....

1.20.90....

The I-SCAR Server will not function properly on Sunday. If you sign on and notice an extreme amount of lag, that is normal and is not characteristic of how the server is on other days.

The thing is, on Sunday the server hosts is streaming Top Gear at the same time therefore causing MASSIVE lag.

So...on sunday it's best to keep the server open and practice offline

Alright, first track on the list of Fern Bay, race set to start around a month from now.

I'm very comfortable with the car on this track now as well as sidiousX (i hate you :razz.

My pb is a low 1.22, I think sid's pb is a mid 1.21

Anyone got a faster time? Race Strategy? Driving Strategy for this track?

Thank you Victor, much appreciated
