I also was stuck once in the bathroom for 3 hours. Instead of panicking I just took a bath and waited until my roommate came back home, asked her to put a screwdriver though the doorcrack (on the bottom), and then I just pried the whole doorhandle+locking mechanism out of the door. Mission success

Still have to buy a new door though ...

did you at least try to read the files in lfs/docs?

and as far as I know, you can't change the name "host"

This is awesome, great work guys

np, just spell check the content you add before posting it. Firefox does spell checking live btw

I know this is going to make me sound thick but what do you mean by typo-free?

Sorry for putting it so clearly, but it's the opposite for this, for example

Since patch X came out there has been a big increase of people requesting applications here and I don't think those kind of posts belong here.
Why not you ask me? Well, let's read the forum description:
This is a forum for addon programmers to discuss their work with other programmers. This is NOT a technical assistance section!
Imo asking for the gazillionth cruise insim app doesnt fit in that description

Anyhow, I was just wondering about this and no one has made a thread about it yet, so hopefully we can go into the new year without useless requests.

doesn't look that bad. I do however hope that you think correct and typo-free English is required on a website

I have a coolermaster 430watt extreme power with a e6600 and 8800gts, and it runs fine. Cost me like 60 euros I believe

Quote from tristancliffe :

Why would anyone use the indicators to show which side the car behind should pass on? It's just silly. For years we have indicators ingrained in our brains to show which way the indicating car will go. So in racing it will be second nature to say 'ah, he's indicating left, which means he is going to move/stay left, so I'll pass on the right'. As soon as you start doing to opposite to common sense/second nature, accidents ARE going to happen.

The same thing can be said for sticking your arm out when you're in a open wheeler, but still it's used to indicate the side you'd like to be passed on.
Anyhow, I was watching v8 supercars last night and spotted this:

I must say that doing point-by's can be confusing and possibly dangerous. I do however think they do have a value in racing because it let's the overtaking party know that you saw him, but to actually use it for telling on which side to pass on might prove dangerous if 2 persons have different ideas...


sorry for the jump btw

make sure you set the option in the control panel to override or enhance .
Also, could you try to adjust your global profile instead of a specific game profile, would help the troubleshooting a lot.

btw, I have a 8800gts as well, and it works fine here with the latest beta drivers, so it has to be a setting error.

i almost shit my pants, this is great

I dunno how you come to the conclusion that the g25 causing it, but it is really the buggy and unrealistic clutch simulation of lfs.

here a video showing it in real life:

Hmm, I might just buy rfactor as well. Would love to try out this c6 on the ring and bathurst

When you posted this thread, there was a particular thread on the top of this forum called InSim V4 Base for C# 2.0 (dll)...

Hebrew, English and Dutch all fluently, some highschool german and arabic, and really bad farsi (only fengelisi)

When online you can only use words to show who you are or what you think, so it is actually quite important for first impressions.
Also, people are more inclined to read well written English over poorly written English. Maybe that would be a good thing to incorporate in your recruiting posts.

Quote from sam93 :

Correct i did have some head sugery a couple of months ago as i had a bike accident what was unavioudable and riders motion i here you have left wot racing because you wanted to go back to drifting and plus riders i am not impatient but i have not had no reply's in a while so think before you post.

Sam.

punctuation is definitely a skill


btw, good luck with your new team

The main problem with this thread is that you never give credit to the guy who coded tweak. You don't even give a link to the forum post.
If you were going to do something like that with an app that I spend a lot of time on to make it useful, and you don't even credit or mention me, then I'd seriously be pissed. And I'm sure every developer sees it that way.
Imo all this could have been prevented if you gave links to the original post, mentioned who made it, and if you didn't put it in the unofficial addons section.

I know it's hard to think and apply common sense, but please try it sometime before you hit the submit button.

ps. Getting and asking for second chances also require you to change your attitude (the change went unnoticed btw).

If you want to be a good programmer, use the search feature more often.

Learning to Program

Wow, it's actually quite shocking if a 15 y/o british student cant even spell a normal word. It's not even a college level word....

Just be careful for the screws under the carpet claws, the rest is child's work.

I think that format is good, but I'd like to see the third race last a bit longer

I'm actually writing in c# with sdether's lfslib. If you need a hand with getting race results exported, I could write a program if you want. If you're interested in that we can discuss it further in the lfsh forum.

Quote from PaulC2K :

I used excel to calculate everything, nothing more than the use of sum() and it gets the job done easy enough.
Im still trying to finish off the website i showed you guys a while back, mainly i want an MPR parsing feature, so race results dont need to be put in there manually it just yanks it from the race replay. The less manual work done by the user the fewer chances of mistakes being made and tbh one of the main reasons i decided to start building it was because of the unique manner in which you guys calculated the points, unique in the way that they were never correct

In the first season I was a big excel hater, and justin and butz had the same feelings as me i think, so all in all it was recipe for disaster.
Now i'm planning to write something that will get the race results from lfs directly, and spits them into a sql db, along with ballast info so the driver himself doesnt need to remember how much to put in.
Like I said before, see it as a mix between lfspoints and something you get when you finished a race on ctra.
Only downside is that this programming will take some time, and i dont have a lot of free time, so I hope the season starts a little later then you expect

anyhow, I do agree with most of your points, especially the ballast thing

Some pics so far:
