Quote from S.Chanturia :

it was fun, sorry for retiring early, i did not had the time to practice and the Tyre managment was wrong.. anyway it was great.

You looked in good shape. Shame about the tyres. Come back stronger.

Has been a problem for a little while. Most recently, today during the LRL stream, I couldn't load all of the skins I needed from those that joined without skins uploaded to the forum or my skins folder in advance. Bit of a shame.

Thanks.

This is something I would also like to see, especially recently while I've been broadcasting races. Even if a higher rate is still not the default, it would be nice for us to have a choice to turn up the packet rate to more than we can currently.

Quote from Features_Gaming :

V0.3 kinda bugged. I can't get it to work correctly and when I finally get on a track where I can activate the TV Director mode, the lap counter is correct but as the cars go across the line, the GUI along the bottom flashes up for about 0.2 seconds and I cannot read it at all with that length of time.
Also the camera placements are terrible, all I see when in the reply mode is trees and grand stands - I WANNA SEE THE ACTION.
If this could be fixed that would be awesome!

The documentation contains instructions on how to adjust every camera, or add your own. If you need help, drop me a message on Discord.

None of the demo cars have a pitlane speed limiter.

Thank you to everyone who completed the survey, we are very appreciative of the time and effort that has been put into submissions. A full summary will be posted shortly once the data has been crunched.

We hope that the results of the survey will be taken on board by the community, developers, and by series organisers to influence the sorts of casual and competitive racing we see in future.

The winner of our prize draw has been chosen at random, congratulations to Ngottini who has won a £12 S2 -> S3 LFS voucher.

Again, thank you everyone!

Oh and around that time I realized XFG was the best car in the Universe and the rest is history.

The races we used to have... Some of the best. Good to see your name around here again, Nilex!

The new tracks have far higher model detail, therefore the Quest is struggling to render those tracks. ASW will be kicking in when your frames drop by half anyway, this has nothing to do with LFS inherently.

To be honest, it's a testament to LFS that it runs that well on the Quest at all to be frank.

Sim Broadcasts are proud to be partnering with New Dimension Racing once again, this time to bring you lights to flag coverage of the new season of TBO Challenge. Each broadcast will begin just before qualifying at 14:20 UTC on the Sim Broadcasts Twitch channel: https://twitch.tv/simbroadcasts

Quote from Botswanan Salama :

I think at least round 2 is partly at the same time as F1, which most sim racers follow Also, round 5 is scheduled for Wednesday?

Should be the 29th, I'll poke Deko.

As for the clashes with F1, yes, this is a shame, but in order not to clash with V8RL, and still get racing action on Sundays which was required for the organisers in this case, we decided to bite the bullet here. We hope it doesn't affect signups/attendance too much.

We have over 100 submissions so far, and just over 3 days left before the survey closes. If you haven't taken the survey yet, we'd really like to hear from you. You have until 23:59 UTC on Friday.

Many thanks.

It should be loaded on the Layout Racing League server.
