I like it. You don't realy have to wait because you can join the last few laps of the race you jump in and complete the race after that.

But on STCC1B server there are now endurance races and it advertises monday (but today it's sunday) Maybe i missunderstand something

Is it like Last.fm ?

Sorry, did not see that

Quote from [RCG]Boosted :

well, i want to build a second pc with my old computer parts.
point is that my "old" Powersupply is still in use...
so i gotta use an even older one.
the best ive got is 200 W.
the question is...will it be enough?

pc will have:

AMD Duron 1600
Radeon 9200 SE
CD Drive
a 80 GIG HD
a Floppy.

enough? or not? if not, how much id need?

200 W is a little low for that. If it's not an A-mark (A-brand?) it's even less then the 200 W it says it has.

Quote from Becky Rose :

Already solved, but not tonight.

The STCC server will auto-kick people who have missed too many races, but because I restarted the manager tonight (updates, not crashes ) it might not have detected the players who where already connected.

So as a general rule, it's solved. Just not tonight.

Very cool Becky, you think of everyting Then i just want to say out I realy like your STCC-system with the licences. The Sim Touring Car Cup is fun to watch too.

Just noticed something (wich i've seen before). 8 people in race take 21 slots. Isn't that strange? (i know there are 13 people watching, but just wanted to say something because it's a waist of serverslots). If one more joins other people have to wait because 13 people are connected, but not racing.

It's not an stcc specific problem, but because stcc servers are populair it get's noticed there. Maybe more an item for LFS developers?

The rapidsharelink doesn't work for me. But in the youtubevideo, on 2.02, did that green mrt have black sheep on it? (i think i spotted myself in the video)

Cool video btw

Quote from ACCAkut :

I think my driving style is quite balanced and smooth. Often on the STCC Bronze servers, I'm by far not the fastest (as for laptimes and etc), but I manage to keep around 3rd place because I normally don't crash by my own faults (often enough others bump me around )
On the SO tracks, I prefer sliding around some corners instead of keeping the grip as long as possible, it's faster for me .

Really 3th place with that little milage? That's good. I can manage to get 5th/6th place if i drive a race without mistakes. Sometimes i come into a slide in a corner and most of the times i can recover from that but what often happens then is that somebody behind me rams into me because i loose speed with the slide and then there is not much recovering left.

I try to race clean, but sometimes i'm out of controll and then everything can happen. But i can't race with a car with only two wheels on the ground and i don't want to spoil other peoples races so i do my best to keep it clean.

Quote from N I K I :

As title says this is some acion from stcc public server. Yesterday I had some great moment and I'm decide to share them whit you, so I've made a little movie.
-I've thought to comment it. I have microphon. If you guys like it I'll make live comment in clip (like in officiel STCC race broadcast )
___________________________________

Nice, i hope more people make movies of races on STCC servers (also 1a and 1b server )

I voted more cars, but now i think of it, the impact of crashing into some objects could be more realistic so i should have voted physics

Quote from Ian.H :

Cool! Like this hasn't been suggested before.. and no, I doubt the devs realise there's day and night and that rain is wet :rolleyes:

Sometimes it even rains at night. Have the devs thougt about that possibility too? And what about rain at night reverse tracks?

Quote from pastorius :

@James : Lol good point about the battery gauge, since u can now "drive" endlessly with starter motor

Can you drive on the startengine when your out of gas? Did not know that.

Quote from joen :

Seems like fun

Maybe IRL it's fun, but try the BF1 on a dirttrack. That's no fun, slow as hell. Ice is even worse

Quote from AndroidXP :

What's so interesting about driven miles? Oh yeah look, that oval racer has driven a 300x longer distance than me, woo.

Good point, and there are also people who practise a lot offline. But i still think it's more interesting then postcount.

Quote from Becky Rose :

Add miles driven online just under post count and it would serve a purpose, it would help differentiate the trolls who post a lot but never actually race, and those who have absolutely no life outside of LFS. If nothing else, it would allow us to point fingers and laugh at the sad people .

Or replace it completely with driven miles. What is so interesting about postcount?

Quote from noemfie :

Sorry if this has been mentioned before I did a search in this forum and couldn't find anything .

With the low fuel usage of cars lately in LFS one really have to do a long race to force a pit stop for fuel reasons . E.G in order to use all my fuel in a f08 on Westhill I would have to do to 60+ laps , that is more than 90min of racing . I would love to see a parameter server side like in rfactor that increases the fuel usage of the cars , that would make league races allot more interesting . Now I know one can enforce a pit stop but I would rather stop for for a real reason than to be forced to pit ( in most cases people just stop and go)

I don't like that. It's not realistic to make cars use more fuel. A fuelcap for the start would be ok though.

Not all cars are that economic. The BF1 on an oval (pedal to the metal for the complete lap) does use a lot of fuel.

Quote from BlackSheep720 :

These are the things that really, really bug me

1. Racers who use the macro "BLUE FLAG!!! GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!"

2. Racers who think slower racers with a blue flag should be veering off the track to let the passing car go by

3. Racers who berate you for "not using your mirrors," when they don't know that there's such thing as a blind spot

4. Racers who attempt to re-enter the race after a severe crash (without pitting first)

5. Racers who try to pass you on a tight and slow turn

6. Racers who rear-end you and call you a crasher

7. Racers who vote to restart after crashing themselves

8. Racers who try to disconnect you if you accidentally hit them, even if they weren't in contention in the first place

9. Racers who think it's a good idea to tweak or test a new setup in the middle of a heated race

10. Racers who beg and beg for the winner's setup, when they don't realize that what they need is skill

I hope that if you've ever been one of these racers you will understand how mad you make people by doing this kind of stuff, and you will never do it again. Thank you in advance.

Very anoying, but not much you can do about it. Point 10 is not annoying, it's very funny

7 is very childish. You see that a lot. But most of the time they do not get the restard.

Quote from Bontemps :

mmmm not really... Myself and another went together into a bend and he came worse off. He then 'waited' for me next lap and took me out. Think he got a warning but got let off. Im a good racer and often enjoy the banter with other drivers. Sometime you run into idiots on the track who promptly click 'ban'. Its actually an unfortunate minus point to LFS.

You can't click ban on STCC (maybe an admin can, but a user can't). Just wait five days and come back then

Have you still got the replay?

Quote from mattupson :

What's it like where you live? We have about 2 inches of the white goodness

College closed, as are most of the schools around here. God, im such a child at heart.

Matt

Here it started snowing too since one hour ago

Quote from -M- :

If cars are exactly the same... Why should they sound different?

Good point

And what about bandwide? How big are these engin files?

Quote from PLAYLIFE :

yeah, I suggested Andros Trophy type racing for LFS some years ago. Hasn't happened yet.

Wasn't ice-racing allready in the demo years ago?

Quote from Linsen :

I agree, the UF1 is a bunch of fun on the really short tracks. However, on a track like As club, with a total of 2 braking points, it can be one of the most boring cars in LFS. At least when you're racing with other fairly consistent drivers.

I like that track. The faster you come out of that two corners the faster you driver over the straight. Also it helped me finding a balance in the UF1 when braking at (relatively ) high speeds.

Quote from james12s :

i have had an idea

how about an active lfs installabe desktop so the lfs world screen is your actual desktop.

i'd like to see what you think

thanks
james

What is the difference with including it in your active desktop?

Quote from ZORER :

It might mean he bought a PS3 and playing NFS:carbon all of his time as well. haha.

Let's hope that's not it

Quote from frokki :

i'd like to see all the points moved to /dev/null.

Or it just stops then (and something new will come )
