Hello lads.

I will be racing at WE Int Re with some Formula XRs in a few days and ain't got a setup for it..

Do you guys think that inferno's we int setup (not reversed) would be good enough?

Or what should i change on it?
Or on any reversed setup for that matter.

Thanks

I'll move the thread into Improvement Suggestions, since there are some suggestions here that haven't yet been implemented

That's cool.
Since the punishments are already doable i would like to get some feedback on the starting grid thing.*

*Which, by the way, is the main thing in this thread hehe.

Thanks

Quote from Tweaker :

AFAIK, you can setup a grid manually in the pre-race screen where you choose your track, laps, cars, etc...

+1 for the other suggestions.

Do you know "how", Tweak my man?

Yeah, we already have that:

/start=reverse

That's how it's being done nowadays.
When i said it wouldn't be practical for the pilots do it "manually" i was referring to use the qualify in reverse order as the starting grid to the second battery.

We're running into some troubles by using that start=reverse thing.

As i said, there are penalties and whatnot to be taken into account (people who spec, ie don't finish the 1st battery, starting in the front on the second one and stuff).

We've got a pretty good grid (at least 20 people, always, and that's a "changing grid" - only the best 20 hotlaps [we've got a lot more than 20 people signed up at any cup] are allowed to participate on any given race) and it's just not as fair as it could be or practical, if you know what i mean.

Well, so... there ain't any way to do it manually by an admin (or using a add-on or anything, really), today. Is that it?

That's too bad.

We would really benefit from such a thing.
An admin being able to set up a starting grid manually. It shouldn't be that hard to programn, right?

It would really make things a lot more easier and ineteresting.
It would give us a lot more of control over our league on a practical way.

Oh and while i'm at it, it would be nice if admins could set penalties on the go (we have race marshalls watching our every race in real-time) such as drive-troughs and stop-and-goes.

I hope my idea isn't stupid.
At least for us it would be really good, sincerely.


ps: And i'm sorry about my poor english, this is not my main language, you know hehe, thanks again.

Well hello there.

I would like to know if there's any way to set up a starting grid "manually".
I mean, as a server admin or using an add-on or something like that.

I'm asking this because i race on the brazilian league (http://instaseg.com.br/lfsbr/modules/news/) and we've got there the following setting:

We race two batteries each race.

Qualify + Race (1st battery)
Reversed Grid (reversed from the last battery finishing positions) + Race (2nd battery)

But it seems that it would be a bit more fair (and interesting) if we used the 1st battery qualify as the starting grid of the second battery (reversed, of course).

The problem is that is not practical to do it "manually by the pilots".
And i'm not even taking into account the punishments and other stuff that affects the starting grid.

So, in short, i would like to know if someone can deliberately choose and set up a starting grid "at will".

It would *greatly* improve our league.

If you guys have any suggestions, at all, i would love to hear them.


Thanks a lot,
Cheers from Brazil

I would like very much the base metal paint good sir.
Really nice skin all around

Quote from Rubenz81 :

Meanie: Here it is FOX Senna skin.
As i dont know if the skin in my skin_x folder was public i made one by myself.

Thanks a lot, mate
And that old Williams skin just above seems pretty cool too

Quote from thisnameistaken :

or one of these weird "roleplaying" servers that have started turning up lately, where everybody drives around at 30mph using their indicators. illepall

LOL you've gotta be sh$#$#* me, mate...

Thanks for the help, guys!

So... how do you guys use those functions?
I'm a really noob driver and have no idea whatsoever as to what they do, and what would be best left on or off.

Any ideas?

I use a Logitech Momo wheel.
Thanks for your time and sorry for the dumb question.

Hello guys.
I'm from Brazil.

So far i'm loving this simulator and having one hell of a good time with it.
(Even tho i lose all of the race in which i take part in :razz.

You might have seen me online already.

I race clean all the time and i think that's the best way to race.
No wrecks, right?

Well, it's 4:00AM here and i'm really tired, i don't know what the heck am i typing here so illepall.. i wish to race with you guys one day!

Thanks for being part of such a great community.

I guess that's it...

Quote from Jakg :

upload a replay, manual, flatshift, trial brake etc

You probably meant trail brake, right?
But... what is a "flatshift"?

Quote from Tweaker :

I always just use a setup for the same car on a similar track.

If you cannot find a setup for FE Black, use the one for FE Green on Inferno. That setup will likely suit all the other parts of Fern Bay, and you would be able to lap just fine. It is biggie's setup, and he uses mostly the same setup for a track's different configurations. If the camber needs to be adjusted, just change it to suit the car if the outside of your tires are getting too hot

Thanks man, that sounds like a good advice.

Quote from Flotch :

I hate FE tracks, I did only one lap with the RB4 there, you can try the setup (hotlapping):

Thanks for the setup, dude.
But man oh man.
You hate FE tracks but still you've got some WR's on that track?? wow
I really need to "hate" more tracks like that.

Thank you both for helping out a noob.

Hello.
Most of my setups i grab from the inferno team: http://setupfield.teaminferno.hu/

But, as we know, they don't have a setup for every car/track combination.
Like this one: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=12475
I din't race on a event with that combination since i couldn't get any setup and didn't get to make a good one mysefl (i'm a newbie, but learning hehe).

Well, now i need a RB4 setup for FE Black and as luck would have it... inferno doesn't have a setup for this combination too, hehe.

So, what i really would like to know are good places to get setups.
They don't "need" to be the WR ones or anything like that.
Just anything carefully made for a specific car/track combination, that's all.

Do you guys know any websites?

Thanks for your help.



ps: i'm not trying to be a lazy guy or anything like that, i'm learning how to setup my cars but it will take a really long time (as i see it) and all i want is just to be able to get my hands on some good setups meanwhile and participate on some races, have some fun, you know?

Quote from keiran :

although most of that was learnt from reading a guide I printed off the net

Would you mind sending me the link of said guide over PM?

Hello, i don't know if this is frowned upon (asking for setups) here but anyway...

I'm a newbie and do not understand how to set up my car properly and so.
I've been using the "Inferno" setups and doing quite alright with those.

But now i need a good setup for KY GP Long on the FO8.
Can anyone help me?

Thanks a lot.

ps: it's a 14 laps (no pit) race, if that helps
thanks

Quote from Rubenz81 :

Meanie - I found one in the skin_x folder so maybe if you search, also on masterskinner site...

Thanks.
Call me dumb but i couldn't find the skin on masterskinnerz forums
Would you mind sending me yours?
Alright, i'm outta here, i"ll stop ruining the thread.
Sorry.

Does anyone have a Senna/Maclaren for FOX?
I'm a brazilian and would like it very much.. thanks

Thanks for your reply.

Well, i know there's youtube, .avis, fraps and hell he can come and see the game at my house illepall

heheh

I just thought that maybe i could record some of my races and send to him, that's all.

Thanks again for your time.
That's all.

So.. hi guys

I would like to know if a demo user can view replays from a S2 user (racing with S2 cars and tracks and such).

I want to know this because i'm trying to "sell" the game to a friend of mine and it would be nice if he can watch some races in which i participate in (and tell him about it), i think it would pretty much sell the game then.

Any input?

Thanks for yor time.

That's a great work, congrats.
There aren't many printed commercial manuals as good as this one.
Free ones then? illepall

Absolutely great stuff.
Thank you very much.
