Quote from Kdovi :

I would recommend you NOT to use Skype - from my experience it lags a lot.

Yep, very true

Quote from Kirill.D :

We don't like TS cause of poor voice quality.

Use the Speex codec

Quote from Robster230 :

Could a French LFSer please translate the following pls...

"Thank you for everything.

Miss you this weekend"

Literally:
Merci pour tout,
Tu me manqueras ce week end.

But it depends to whom you're talking to.
It's OK if you're talking to a friend.

But if you're talking to a woman you're in love with, don't say her "Thanks for everything". I'm quite sure she won't like that. Better to say: "Je n'oublie pas ces merveilleux moments" (I keep in mind these wonderfull moments).
Also avoid the "week end" thingy as she might understand that you'll miss her for the week end only (yes, women are like that, at least the French ones are ). Better to say: "Tu me manques déjà" (I already miss you).

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

2. As previously mentioned, our decision under the lap 64 SC period to let the entire field by after the leader pitted was in error. It greatly affected the results of the race and there's nothing we can do to correct it now

One thing you could do is not to post non sense results as being the official results :rolleyes:

Quote from R.Kolz :

And looking at the picture once more I wonder if this /rcm in yellow "Safety car deployed" is the same as a "yellow flag" message ?

Rules:

Quote :

2) When the SC is deployed, the track is under a full-course yellow condition and the field is frozen. As such, drivers are to cease racing for position and fall in line—this means no passing.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

The only other really confusing SC instance was when the leader (I believe it was the 15 car) caught the SC and then pitted when most of the cars behind him were a lap down. This led to a situation where we had to let most of the field by to get the leader (which turned out to still be the 15 car) behind the SC again. It gave a lot of cars their laps back, but it was sort of a mess. We'll have to work out a procedure there.

Yep that was where a LOT of cars got their lap down back.

I would also suggest to the admins/marshalls to pay more attention to the people overtaking before the green flag and to enforce the penalties against this behaviour.

I have to admit I'm a bit surprised by the number of safety cars deployed during the race.

I hope the organizers are not going to use the safety car on any incident during the season because it would be a nightmare and useless if we can't do more than five laps in a row.

Quote from danowat :

I think some people need to be more carefully under saftey car procedures..........

That was funny on LFS remote though
But surely less funny for the people on track :rolleyes:

Same race, same server as in previous post.

According to LFS Remote car #101 (18th position) is having a pit stop but in fact it is on track racing.

On the current IGTC test race (server name: IGTC By My3id) car #21 and car #06 appear to have the same LFS user name driver 'The Moose' whilst #21 should be 'Scipy'.

Quote from Scawen :

This is only visible on the host, or in the host's log file if logging is enabled.

This is displayed on hosts in two cases :

1) If network debug is switched on
2) If the host is a dedicated host

Ok, got it, thanks for clarification

Thanks for the patch but there is something I'm not sure about:

Quote from Scawen :

Dedicated host and network debug show connecting guest IP

Does this mean anyone using the network debug can see anyone else IP ? Or is it for admins only ?
Or is it an inclusive AND (Dedicated host AND network debug) ?

Loeb on a french TV channel (approximative translation):

Loeb (after watching at the video): Yep, that video is impressive but it was OK from the inside of the car. I saw the gendarme about 150-200m before the corner and I always had him in sight. And I knew what he was doing and what I was going to do.
TV: What is the distance between your car and the gendarme ?
Loeb: Hm, about 15-20 cm.
TV: Isn't it a bit short ?
Loeb: No, we are always doing that in rally. If it was a rock it would be the same.
TV: What is your speed at this moment ?
Loeb: About 100-120 km/h.
TV: And you were sure it was going to be OK ?
Loeb: Yes, absolutely sure. I was 200% sure.

No typo, he said 200%.

Hehe congrats to all

Quote from Raybrig :

must be smoother!!!

Yep, you got it

Quote from Indiana Jim :

I have raced on CD4 twice to test out the system and in each instance the server didn't credit me the last 2 points until days after. Right now, it's 4 Feb 08 and I last raced on Saturday 2. The server shows 49 points when in reality I have 51 accumulated points.

How come the server can show a portion of the score but miss the last 2 points?

Hard to guess what happened there.
Any chance that you have a replay of this session ?
Could you also tell us the exact date and time (UTC/GMT) when this happened ?

Quote from guzzi97 :

i didn't know that i have to login with my "original" acc-name

You didn't have to, you just had to log in with the proper password of your Delgado account because you have never posted with your Guzzi97 account before this post.

Anyway, you can use avatar and signature now

ConeDodgers will be there

Quote from evilpimp :

I got it on VLC and it buffers a lot.

Increase the default cache delay to something like 1500 or 2000 ms (or even more, test and trial):
File -> Open network stream (Ctrl+N) -> Advanced options -> Tick Caching and change the value.

Quote from U4IK ST8 :

I think the "system" is down. I did some runs last night and the points counter at the top of the screen just disappeared? It worked a few days ago but it's not working now, I just checked the server again.

Thanks for the report.

We had to turn the system OFF from all servers during the night for an update but everything is going to be back on this afternoon
