My stream is up for round 2: https://www.twitch.tv/tc_pete

Thanks for hosting, it was good fun!

Here's my stream replay from round one (Strong language throughout):

Meeting over ran at work, I'll be on just before the start.

I'll be streaming my practice and the race from my cockpit in VR from 17:00.

If you can't make the race, feel free to tune in: https://twitch.tv/tc_pete

I stayed at a hotel near Rockingham earlier this year that looked pretty much exactly like West Lodge. Even had a West Grill.

So? How'd it go?

gl;hf.

Is this since the Oculus Rift Core 2.0 update? Seems fine with my single 1070. Maybe it's just an SLI issue with OCR2.0?

I tink ur link not working

You're right, I was linking to the one on my account. Link's updated.

Anyone who wants a proven setup, here's the one I always use:

It won me the event in 2014! Happy Christmas.

90% sure I won't be able to make it this year. Enjoy it people and don't take it so seriously!

Sadly I won't be able to make it. Enjoy!

If McLaren doesn't win next year, it's on you though.

Ha.

Congratulations Rudy.

Got to feel bad for Isaac Price though, he did really well. Great to see both those guys in the top 6 fighting it out with the best.

Quote from TechEdison :

Just read this and every time i read "graphical updates" i think to myself, "please... PLEASE don't forget about the players with a potato computer!"

Graphics might not be iRacing level, but look at it! Intel Core i3, 8gb ram, 10gb disk space! I run LFS on a single core amd 64, 1gb ram, and 1gb is used by LFS...

There's no risk of that as part of the reason so many people remain attached to LFS is because it has always been able to run on relatively low-spec machines. I'd go as far as saying it's always been one of the core foundations of LFS' development.

Just because PCs are becoming more powerful doesn't mean your applications have to use all of that power to perform at an adequate level. LFS is a classic case in point.

We're getting a collectable!

Quote from bobloblaw :

It looks like LFS surface temps behave pretty similar to the F1 videos. It would be nice if we had the setup option of shaving tyres down for shorter races, or saving tyres from race to race.

Pretty sure the ability to grab a scrubbed/used set of tyres for this very purpose will be on Scawen's radar once he eventually finishes the physics.

Allocating a set number of tyres per event or having the requirement to use the same set of tyres between race and quali is present in many forms of motorsport, including F1, therefore it should be present in a sim that values realism, like LFS.

It sounds like you're learning more and more each time you're setting up the trailer. $300 for your first shot doesn't sound shabby at all considering you know you weren't in a prime spot and didn't have trailer advertising.

Have you considered crowdsourcing a design for your trailer here on the forum? You could plaster a phone number, website and/or Facebook link on it too to advertise that the trailer is available for event hire (if that's the way you want it to go).

Quote from SimulatorRental.com :

I was curious, so went through replays...

This was the first 8 Player race.
Before this was just one kid and myself.

Player 7, what a bandit.

This is the multiplayer rounding error fuel bug. He was not cheating. Period.

This bug has existed in LFS for as long as I can remember. It should probably be added to Scawen's fix list at some point.

Quote from Popughini :

Do you make deliveries to Argentina?

I would like to buy some things

Unfortunately, the shop has closed already and the LFS shirts (+ other items) are sadly no longer on sale.

Congratulations on the final product. It's great what you have achieved! I wish you all the luck with it!

Quote from Yisc[NL] :

Seriously?
Is this still or again going on, what a sad people who keep doing that

Yes. It's been fine for about a month but it started again today at lunch time. Sadly it's at the time when we're running our Gumball event.

We're experiencing another heavy attack and the CityDriving One server name has been poached. Please do not connect there for the time being until we get it back.

I could test this for you on a CityDriving server if you were desperate to know.
