EDIT (J@tko): FYI I said Y24 or below.

Yep, no fail....

YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE LFS INSTALLATION OF PATCH Y24

Why...?

I run default Y install, Y19 plus doesnt suit all machines, causing massive loss of FPS on some.

Why must we have Y24?

Happy Birthday FRT!

Keep the fairness flowing

Also, this will be updated in the regulations by Saturday, but you have the option of waving off an attempt before completion of the final timed lap of the run and NOT have that attempt charged against you. I am also changing the quota from 3 over the weekend to 3 per session, so 6 over the weekend (not carried over from one to the other, however.)

Wow, major changes again..on the day qualifying starts

Is there a list of entrants now qualified to run in qualifications for the event?

Thanks, Maz

But at least i found out that i can do 12.87-12.95 on 1st spilts so i got something out of this.

Wow in clean air...thats way under the WR pace, incredible!

Maz

Shift options...button control rate. Set it low to have more control of the throttle on keyboard.

You have to disable the widescreen effect IIRC.

Thanks AndroidXP

That is exactly what you have to do. Fixed, many thanks!

Maybe a edit to the main post re this patch is needed for Graphic processors that do not support HVS. When using on board graphics processing that do not support HVS this patch severely limits performance.

If you have Y22 installed, maybe replacing LFS.exe with that of the Y19 one might be enough. I'm not sure if there's been changes to the data files for it though

Thanks...that worked.

But, ive lost the sky. Does not show in game.

How can i get the sky back

Best, Maz

Help.

What is the best way back to y19 or even y from y22.

I have a machine that does not support HVS and frame rate is much decreased in MPR online. Please advise, racing tomorrow..

Please Note:

LFSCART Oval Races Round 3 of the series moves from FRO #2 to #4 server for tomorrows races and server is using Kyoto500 layout.

FRO|FormulaRacing|#4

Thanks to FRO for the back-up server, and to you all for your patience whilst we sorted stuff out

No problem, #4 is there as a back up for you.

I would advise to develop a back up plan for the race day guys and just in case...prepare FRO #4 for race day too, for a plan B, just in case scenario.

As that is twice now a server has unfortunately failed on practice race days and why we had to get a back up ourselves. Shit happens, so plan round it..

LFSCART will move to the #4 server for the forthcoming Oval rounds.

Okay, it's not ALL oval racers, but the ones in LFS are notorious for it.

I found totally the opposite to be true. The Oval racers in LFS are some of the most supportive and helpful for new racers i have ever come across, either in the game or the real world.

When i went onto the FM servers for the first time on a Oval ever to prepare for a round of a series our team runs in, racers there helped with advice, serious set ups and how to race Oval. They got us and friends up to speed very fast.

We crashed a lot learning, wrecked a few races no doubt, but where not or never banned and for sure, due to that experience we really fell in love with Oval racing in LFS, its really as good racing as it gets.

ok i need to do a practice session. Im in the US so its hard to find the right time. When is the next one???

Deko is running some practice evenings this week players, please try make them as time is running out!

Secondly some ovalheads might badly disturb teh championship battle that is going on (not that I'm against good racing, I'm just concerned about teh wrecker-noobz)

Bwaaaahhaaaahaaa....

In my opinion we should somehow get more good, fair and pro drivers involved to the whole series, not just for one oval round.

Yep this has got to be the focus for sure. But, i think it will increase in numbers next rounds on. Drop those entrants on the first page who haven't shown a ass kicking PM Falke for a start.

You could try changing your terminal equipment or service provider, but that kind of connections rarely work well when it comes to gaming.

Yeh, I have the same problems, 7.2mpbs connection and massive lag sometimes, erratic pings and signal.

Is there any terminal hardware that can boost signal strength or reliability?

Best, Maz

Quote :

yeah, you said some right things... I think i was just a bit disappointed when posting it, that we were only 7 racers... sry... just another unthoughted thread... sry...

No need for apologies Falke, i can see the idea and its not a bad one, relatively speaking, lol.

I was disappointed too that there where only 7 of the entrants on the server for the race. I know a few of the entrants are away at the moment and there was a couple of event clash yesterday, so would hope for more at the next round. I know teamplayers said in PM he will be there for the later rounds for instance.

Yesterday was real world F1 day and was also a clash with the GFC league (also running FO8) and maybe we could have looked to combine those two events (as GFC was looking for more FO8 racers recently) which could be a idea?

However, keep up the good work friend, its a good series potentially and has good organization. With its mix of road and oval courses, given time, it will grow I am sure. Being related to the 500 race which is a big enough single event is cool and it has a good future i think.

Best, Maz

Very nice indeed!

Best, Maz

Quote :

so what you think about this idea? The Kyoto Speed Week as an Coop-Event?

Hmmm,

Having been at a few of the 500 training events i would vote no and to keep them separate events for now.

There is a lot of entrants to the 500 who have neither the laps or the experience of the rules to qualify for the event. That is the point of the training session and that sometimes takes some work.

This in the midst of a race series for league points is not good. LFSCART series overlaps with the 500 main event already and at that point the 500 entrants will all be practiced, just like the CART entrants already are for their series.

So, I voted no.

Best, Maz

Cool, will be there.

Best, Maz

Quote :

Can we have some more mid-week practice
sessions please? Saturday and Sunday are pretty full with league races. For example I couldn't make this evening's test because I was driving in OWRL and I can't make tomorrow evening's test because that clashes with LFSCART, which I also can't make because it's a double clash with GFC.

As Storm says, please could we have a few more midweek sessions Deko? as the weekend sessions getting difficult now.

Best, Maz

When is the next qualifying or practice sessions?

definitely the best suggestion ive seen on here in ages would be great and would also really add to the aspect of being in a team.

everything is okey again. There were some problems with server four. 500servers chrashed, and all servers were called 500servers, and the settings were deleted. It was not literaly gone lost, but it was not avaidable at this point of time.

Arrrgghhh....

FRO have servers with two of the major hosts to insure against such situations. But when your backup plans also start falling over, time to do something ourselves.

Don't worry, LFSCART will have the fastest, most reliable servers we can get.

See you on the servers falke, should be back on tomorrow during the day.
