Thanks for the tip. I managed to start LFS with LFS:// protocol in high priority by editing the registry value to the following:

cmd.exe /c start "High Priority" /high "E:\LFS\LFS.exe" %1


Edit:
If the above registry value doesn't work (as it didn't for me after reinstalling windows...), try this one:
cmd.exe /c start /dd:\lfs "High Priority" /high "D:\LFS\LFS.exe" %1

/d parameter defines the directory from which to run the program so point it to the root of your LFS installation.

I'm also experiencing stuttering if LFS isn't in high priority mode. The thing is, I prefer using LFSW host browser.
Is there a way to start LFS in high priority from LFSW?

when is this car getting released?
I'm a bit bored of the cars now

Can't you do your wrecking in any car?

Balanced TBO
Cars used:
FXO: 3% intake restriction
XRT: No restrictions
RB4: No restrictions

The class idea is to balance TBO so all cars would be closer in terms of speed.

I wasn't saying CTRA didn't tried LRF. They did and I'm thankful for that. My point, like troy already said, was race2 being even emptier than at TBO+LRF times despite the big talks in thread that got LRF removed. Occasional LX4 days/weeks might raise some interest until TBO class finally gets reasonable balancing.

Quote from SamH :

As most people know, I've given this some considerable thought in the past. Ultimately I've had to draw a conclusion, and draw a line under it. There will be no more LRF class car racing on CTRA servers.

Unlike the other classes covered by CTRA that people can spend all day and all night driving, people drive a couple of races in LRF and are exhausted. They enjoy it a whole load, but it's brief and when they've had enough, they've truly had enough. Racer turnover in Race 2 when LRF was being run was high, with bursts of server population being far shorter than any other server or class. Because of this, LRF cars aren't actually suited to the 24/7 nature and design of the CTRA pickup race format.

Other people do LRF class better than we do, because their format is different. I'd recommend DMR as a good place to start.

TBO class is even less popular than TBO+LFR combined. IMO the reasoning for poorly populated TBO class is FXO being (yet again) way faster than the other two, which reverts other drivers from the server.
LRF may take too much skill for close casual races, but LX4 might be a breaktrough. It's the easiest to drive RWD car in LFS and provides close races so maybe LX4 only race2 would be worth of trying...

Also with FZ50 it's fairly easy to get an unnecessary yellow flag there.

I'll think about that Kenn.

Quote from Arni Arnason :

Agreed , consistency pays off .You should have sticked around, there was a lot of action

I'd have stayed, but sauna was waiting... That wasn't the reason for me crashing mid race though

Hi!
Just joined server moments ago to find there was a league going on...
Too many races for me to take part in this what seemed to be a great league Thanks for the one night fun.
I hope I wasn't pressing Franke too much as he hugged the wall in front of me at first race

To niko: Consistency is everything in league races, you can't win the race in first few laps

Little bit of thread stealing...
I've been thinking about buying laptop with Radeon X1350 in it (HP 6820S). I don't mind about other games, but would that computer run LFS nicely?

I've the same problem. I think it's due to my anti-virus software (f-secure). I've been thinking about changing to Avast or other free alternative, but in the mean time I just toggle skin download on for a while when I get to server.

It's the three digit abreviation I told you check then.

Put them to setups folder and make sure you use three letter/number abbreviations for car names while you are at it.

Congratulations Evolution!
Thanks Dan and Adaptive Racing Team for an exciting league.

Zeug was about to release the Alien Inside from time to time

I actually like the track but I'm still slow and keep on spinning way too often.

Quote from Jakg :

Erm, the default is 1ms...

It's still worth checking. Maybe I had changed it instead of gear shift debounce or something :shhh:

Try putting minimum sleep to 1 ms from options. For me it was set to 20 ms and I was struggling to get 30 fps at starts until I realized to tune it down. Now I'm getting good fps again even with full grid. No idea why there is such an option

Qualification: I did some hotlap training before race and managed to get 43.17 lap, but in actual qualy I was struggling with the chicane. On the last moment I did a 43.36 with help of Danowat's slipstream and grabbed a satisfying 3rd position.

Race1: Good racing with Speedway until I spun after the famous chicane. I lost many places, but was lucky to be able to pass a couple of just a tad bit slower dbp guys on last laps and finished 4th.

Race2: Starting at the middle of pack worried me a bit, but start went surprisingly clean for me. At early laps some guys spun in front of me and I found myself 3rd behind Bozo who seemed determined to hold his position. I made my smartest moves, but couldn't get pass him. His defensive driving was enjoyable.
Before mid race Kamo joined the battle, but he tried the traction at the grass and unfortunately spun.
Exactly mid race Bozo spun at chicane and I was finally able to make a pass after half a race good battle. 2nd place now and after Race King tried to play king of hill at the very same chicane I got first place.
At that point there was some seconds to 2nd driver so I took it easy and tried not spun. I had some moments after which winning the race felt good.

Quote from AndRand :

sry, but I dont get the point - why not make a stickerthreads for ceach class in Hosts Section where everybody could post and comment propositions for any combo?

problem solved Ithink

It's not combo specific. FXO is again clearly fastest on any combo. According to WRs, XRT can't even compete at AS national. I know tyres heat faster in FXO, but over one second difference gives plenty of room in setups for FXO.

We have lost the pretty much ideal balance of patch X, where all three cars were competitive agains each other on any track.

I couldn't keep the car in control yesterday.

In qualy I got only one or two good laps, but I was lucky to get new pb 55.74 and 3rd position.

Race 1. Good fight with Speedway on lap one. Lap two before back straight, I spun and got the last place. I managed to climb to 3rd rather quickly with help of others incident. Then I was trying to catch Gfresh's 2nd place, but spun in the process and was last again. After that I gained only one position and finished 6th.

Race 2. Strategic +1 cm ride height to front (!? ).
From 3rd position, I got better start than Fl!p besides me. 2nd position. In T2 Bob got a little oversteer and I got 1st place on backstraight. Then I was slowly getting some gap behind me as Bob was battling with Race King.
I was being very causious in this race. I didn't get a single 55 lap, but didn't spun either. Won the race with 2-3 seconds to Race King.

Quote from PLAYLIFE :

Why not...

Because of multi-quote feature?

I only have replays of races.

In qualification i got 39.00 which gave me 5th place. Not bad with that amount of traffic on road.

In first race I had no problems in start and Audimasta bunnied me to new pb with constant good splits. After some laps he hugged the wall and I couldn't avoid him so he flipped as I hit his nose. Sorry for that .
Rest of the race I tried to catch Rabbit while Speedway harrashing me from behind. Nothing dramatic happened and I finished third.

Second race, 8th position. I managed to clear those few lap one incidents and ended up second pretty soon. Overtaking Fl!p gave me some headache and Rabbit was on my tail this time. I managed to pass him, but couple of laps later it was my time hug wall and lose position to Rabbit. Remaining 20 laps I just held my second position with sligthly damaged suspension as third was tennish seconds behind.

Good race chaps. I was again lucky to dodge most incidents.

Quote from [UKR] Race King :

i hope so because those guys in the shop were i got it told me some crazy stuff that it might be not possible to do something with the warranty because they said that you cant prove that you didn't broke it on purpose...but they took it and i wish everything will be ok and i get a new one soon (before the mrt race)

Many shops show their bastardousness when it comes to warranty. But don't worry, they will send it to logitech and they know how to keep customers happy

Quote from [UKR] Race King :

does any1 had any reverse problems with his g25 because mine suddenly stopped working and i send it back today i hope they replace it

Common problem with G25. I had that too, but don't worry, you'll get a brand new set in return
