Or get everyone to join the Ts at the start of quali. That way it removes the element of lateness if instead is a rushed call just before race start.

Quote from bishtop :

@ MicrospecV yeah kode is very fast, wait until you race with mrc Gemini95 and there 1.11.30s, and currently has the world record

Have raced with Gemini before,a few times. He's a step higher than me, I must admit. Pretty tough keeping pace, most of the time defending as hard as I can He does mid 1:11s easily whike I struggle to do high 11s

@Bishtop

Yup. Battles still happen now. Had an awesome ding dong with Kode earlier

@Lucaf Do you wish to host 9397 again? But a combi champ with both your layouts and mine!

Make it a year-long season with unique layouts and you'll have a new talk-of-the-town

Maybe GTi too!

Well, I seldom have battles like this anymore...

I usually give 1 or 2 warnings before issuing a ban or kick. Or sooner/instant if the person is crashing or hacking.

I agree that insta ban without reason will not solve anything, but instead encourage the behaviour (unless it's a rammer with purpose, then he deserves it),. But some form of pre-ban warning should be the norm before any admin action takes place.

Sometimes you have to be on your toes for insta bans for obvious deliberate ramming or crap behaviour though, as the purpose of modding the server is to maintain a fair racing environment with no hiccups.
No admin wants to wait until something happens to innocent drivers, before taking late action.

Quote from Dennis93 :

What's better for you FXO Plebs then, 4% plus kg's?

It's funny how you chose the car which is clearly the most OP car there is in class, and surely you're one of the guys who have more experience on any road car here, and yet you just complain but don't come with anything constructive.

If you want to chip in with your opinions, make some instead of just complain.

" I also think 5% is too much, hence is why I'm trying to reason with the 3 or 4% and balancing the XRT....

Sorry, you were saying?

FXO with 5% is a shitbox. 4% and balance the XRT and we're good to go.

Or introduce dynamic restrictions to level the field at each track, because certain cars fair much better at (X) track than others do. Like RB4 at South City, or FXO at BL.
Imo there can never be a "set restriction" if you really really want it to be a fully equal grid at every single track combo. Dynamic tailored handicaps is the only way that cars can be customised to get matched for pace to each other at each particular track.

4-2-0 is the most "fair" and consistant restriction for a non-dymanic restriction rule, however.

I see this all the time in my timezone when I'm on.
Just trollers working as a pair to anger others, especially in empty servers. In my team server, I perm them immediately. Which works because they seldom return.

But then in MRc demo it still happens, more often than europe timezone. Plus servers more empty in my time, so they get away with it. And no mod rights to do what Mikke can do, but of course, if it happens I'll forward the usernames to Bish or someone who can take action.

Still remember in AA FBM, two dinguses did that to one user, I banned them, then they migrated to the MRc Track server to do the same, saw in the Master server display, but couldn't go over and I couldn't ban them, plus I'd risk getting banned myself as I'm not L0 lol


Anyway... just demo things... Maybe plant more Bish's and Mikke's?

4 laps is 6% fuel @Ibtasim

@justadroover

In Historic, it is possible defintiely, to reach 218 easily. Get a non-stock setup from someone and try it yourself. With practice 218 is hit every single time.
In BL normal (chicane) I can hit 217 if I get the chicane perfect. So it's nothing that's too impossible, definitely not hacks or exploits.

I can do 1:11s just like most of the top guys. We just about reach 218kph at the end of the backstraight. It's not hacks, it's just good exit off turn 1 and non-default setup gearing.
I've ever hit 218.7 before braking before, based on LFSLazy readings.

Default set up top speed down the back straight is 215 at most. Not unusual. Just get a good setup in-server or through LFS Setup pages.

Personally, I feel that one should not feel obliged to give way immediately. Meaning, LFS shows blues with cars a full second behind. I'll understand that one may not wish to pull over at that first instance and lose something like 3 seconds in the process.

But once the leader comes up to around 3 car lengths, or enough to warrant a pass - then move aside.
Sounds like the most effective solution for both the lapee and the lapper (lol, new word).


However, I have come across several cases when people simply ignore the blues, and refuse to give way, move off line or keep defending the position. In this scenario, I'd recommend everyone have a "blue flag, move" bind for easy use.

If after the bind, the driver still refuses to move, for me (my own take, open to comments, but it's my style, uhm), I normally give a bumper rub, like they do in V8 Supercars. Just enough to unsettle the lapee and make him slide wide. Basically physically moving the lapped car. Only in serious cases, however. And of course, for blockers or race ruiners, I just pit them out of the way, because why not lol.

Hope it's an insight, somehow

[quote="lucaf;1932406"]Nova, I can't believe you thought Mikke is serious with that.

Anyway there is a looooong conversation about button clutch here.

/edit/

Oh gee i get mikke now

Quote from Mikus1212 :

Actually autoclutch is an assist, not manual clutch.

Yes, autoclutch is an assist. And it should be banished (at least, in terms of leagues).
Manual clutch should be everyone's go-to, be it keyboard, mouse, controller or wheel (d'oh).

I'm strongly against any assists, Autoclutch included, but more of "Auto gears". @Mikke one should get to know manual clutch, or at least try. The leagues should not dumb down the competitiveness by increasing the assists for just some people.

There is absolutely 0 excuse for someone to need auto gearing in any racing simulator.
A league or race should set its ground rules before, and never change after. One can not change the regulations to adapt to a handful of drivers. The drivers are those with the ability to learn and adapt, and they should do so. Having assists is a no-no.


Just my two cents.

@Bila_KHS

Is it possible to host a second split championship? At earlier time slot? So I can participate

Nah just pulling a leg, if it's not possible, don't haha

Don't think I will be able to participate in 2018 season... Darn my timezone (GMT +8)... Races at 4am + in my time, plus college in morning, don't think I can make it..

Race would have to be at at least 1700 or 1800 UTC

Pity, pumped for the season after no-practice 2nd place in SRT SO2 last week...
will even be getting wheel this month

@Jason
Contact the developers by sending them an email stating you've run out of unlocks. They will normally grant you a few if your reasoning is ok. Tell them the S2 glitch with the old LFS version and they will accept.

@Wizard
Same thing, email the developers. May be a country thing, I've no idea. Let the devs sort it out

I'm sure mine are more than up to par Take a look at them mate!

Hopefully we can work something out for next season! And hopefully same amount of grid too

Quote from Bila_KHS :

Mate, Iam sure that we can use layouts but only in special events like some anniversary etc and layouts need to bee damn good. We Will disqus this for sure, now we need to manage some features on site, prizes, and other stuff in 2018 season ill hope we Will get equal amount of grid like in 2017 series

Quote from Racon :

I'm not sure it's even possible for you to sit at a computer without being inspired for a new layout

That's how i've done stuff for the 9 series-long layouts.
Plus a can of cola.

@Bila_KHS

Would next year's calendar be able to slot in some of my custom layouts?
Would definitely spice things up and give a much needed change from time to time.

All well made, professional and race-specced. Equipped for large grids.

Well received (hopefully!) and held couple of RTFR races and a 9397 race as well.

Just brought the 2017 series to a formal close with a final layout today. Hope the effort goes to good use!

And hope to be racing next yesr alongside you guys.



Cheers!

I'd say Wales or Scotland.

*Layout updated 17/4/2021

We've come to the point of the year where it's almost time to say goodbye, 2017.
I therefore bring you, the last layout for the year, to close what has been a fantastic rollercoaster 12 months

Thank you everyone for your support for this series, it means a lot. Till the time comes - it's time to say, till we layout again. See you in 2018.







A layout that had been featured a long time ago in a online lobby, and crafted by the man himself - I felt it needed to be brought back to life at long last.

Spiced it up a whole lot, pimped it to race-spec, and given it a fresh new look.
A highly technical track, this circuit requires concentration, or we could end up with another RTFR pileup! (heh)
It may seem easy, but Macau isn't conquered easily either! Go ham in a GTR for an intense Macau-like race, or give the GTis a shot in a big server for some close, thrilling racing.



Recommended vehicles
GTi
GTRs
TBO
FOX
Every other car!



On a side note..
This may mark the end of this year's layoutting fiesta. Will I be back to let creativity flow again next year? Only time will tell....

Happy Holidays, all.





Cheers

When you download a cracked/ip patched version of LFS, it will show your account on the bottom right in-game as "S2".

But when you go to Multiplayer it only shows demo servers, as your account is "crack and IP patched" so in the actual main server list you're still demo.

Actually buy the game before trying to ask for help for a cracked game. thanks...
