That's how I'd imagine some dev's blogposts.. Nothing hard... and everyone is satisfied and informed. Why can't it work this way here too? :-(

Haven't we known that for last couple of yours?

I don't want to be skeptical or rude, it's nice to hear from scawen, but after reading his long posts we basically know nothing new :-( We're back in point "early 2009" :-(

Will 3 - 6 months global ban be sufficient? 30 days are imo not very long :-/

It should be graded by level of rules breakage. 30 days "minor" and harder 30+, 60/90 days..? :-/
At least they will not wait for patch :-D

I am curious too... his LFSW license -name- says he is S2 licensed BUT here, it's other way round :-/ Pretty twisted...
Email devs anyway. If you lie, they will know it :-P And after all, no one else can help you with this ;-)

Quote from three_jump :I think I suggested it a couple of time now, so I have no hopes of ever seeing it inside lfs...

At first I think that the DC problem is only relevant for endurance racing or races that are above the +1 hour mark and secondly that you'd have to prevent people gaining an advantage from having a sudden timeout and rejoin with a fixed car, new tires and a full tank.
On the other hand it is quite confusing for the driver once he rejoins that he can't tell anymore where he is and which cars he is racing as he'll always get a blue flag when he is near an other car.

I don't know how "easy" it would be to store the car state (fuel, tires, damage) via the server, concidering that in endurance racing not always the driver that timed out will rejoin and continue but his teammate...

An easy start would be to add an admin command like

/addlap <number of laps> <name>
/dellap <number of laps> <name>

which could be used for other stuff as well like penalties.

Just my 2 cents.

I think it would not be that hard to take once/twice data during lap (for example on splits actual data about tires, fuel and damage and storing it into variable(s) (maybe only mine naive imagination))

And about pausing, I know it's harsh sudden pause, so it should be gradually stopping and gradually starting when PAUSE is enabled/disabled.
If dsc will be happening too many times, you can choose to ignore this guy...
But I think pausing is not the best solution :-( /ruins fun/

E: Rejoining with other teammate would be possible if server knew which driver belongs to which car ;-) so Team roster would be needed to fill in before race. Whole tracker implementation.. hehe

E2: Yey, it worked, thanks TVE :-) /magic/

@TVE: Giving them +extra lap on their account or +2 does not worth it, i'd say. If it would happened under blue flag, +3 laps should be given

What about server being able to pause whole game, till user reconnects? (Selectable via bit and being able to "ignore player's LFS_USERNAME disconnects")? Solution has been found
"The victory is mine!" :rolleyes:

I started to play iR recently. That one month free promo is great ;-)
LFS looks like child's game after trying few hours of iR. :-( (SCCA @ Laguna Seca)

I hope new patch will be great.. :-(

Quote from steve30x :You joined in august 2008 and I think there was at least two patches since you joined LFS. The current version is Z28. The last patch was Nov 25th, 2009 18:55.

Don't play smart please. You know what I mean.. These patches was mainly for server updates.. Minor for racers. I meant "proper" / big patch.

Quote from lolzol :
So what I'm trying to say is buying a S2 license before you're good enough to join private servers is kinda a waste of money for people like me.

Not true at all! There are many beginners leagues in LFS. Many people who joined us were pretty new to lfs and got fed up of public racing, cause it just sux. I don't race on public servers at all. It has no worth at all! Try to look around for other then public races ;-)

Quote from Gener_AL (UK) :...
...

I think the main problem is that devs closed themselves towards us. (and this has been said million times on forums, and million+1 times ignored from devs :-( )
Basically communication flow went from persons to persons (devs) into persons to wall. All being said is, that lack of communication from dev's side is killing LFS.
I've never seen a patch or something similar since I am here, so it's kind of a unpleasant to see that devs turned away from us.
I'd be very delighted If this attitude from them will change to one, that was in past. (from what I've heard/read, sadly never experienced :-( )

Still waiting for some patch. Even added some € to my LFS account.
Keep up good work devs! ;-) and please communicate with us!

1385 people online. HOW?! can it be dead? Wake up man! New people are still coming into LFS! Only older goes away... sadly
But after all, they'll come back soon. I promise!

Quote from AlienT. :
We paid for S2 and S2 is what we've got, why should the developers give us free updates?

That's why I already charged my lfs-account with 12+1 (extra pound for sooner release) ;-)

PS: I think we'll get night or/maybe rain too

IF you don't find anyone to join your league, feel free to visit AB-league (my signature) as I've told you before We take all, but crashers
Ctrl/shift + s (default change)

I just had a nice racing, when I wanted to make a screenshot of guys battling in front of me. So I pressed SHIFT instead of CTRL + S to make a screenshot. (me stupid)
Is there a way to remap this "by default" to something else? For example to SHIFT + L to spectate?

Just an idea...

Thanks, Mich...


PS: Don't laugh at me please :-) I did it for first time and not planning to do it again.. hehe

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :
I know! LFS will not "die", if we everyone move on to LFS from this thread, it might have a chance that you can understand of LFS is not "dying"

Very true! So everyone who added here at least 1 post should connect to server X (give one free) at time Y (some good +-CET time) and we could have a good race. For example MiniGTRs @ KY2 :-)
Hm? :checkered

Then you'll see if it's dead or not ;-)

Yep, correctly stated Degats everything. The best thing you can do, is to have 2 installs. I play on windows instance and do some random visits or just stopping by for some short server invitations on linux. (main OS)
