You already know what to edit and how, so why dont you do it yourself instead of bossing people around?

Quote from TFalke55 :

something I was surprised about is the fact that eXcite Racing have got 79 Pts... m@sterdis@ster have got 62 points and when i'm looking at the entry list for division 2, he was the only one who was able to collect points for eXcite Racing



but then i realised that Nick H and Michael L have got the same number...

good find probey

you should maybe invest in a spell checker as team boss

wtf! I thought he was going to cut off my ear!

K, I'll send you a pm later this weekend.

Sorry for the slowness and for putting it in pdf, but me and spreadsheet programs don't mix. I'll probaly make something in Core Data which will look 10 times better and easier.

Anyhow, here are the division 1 standings, div2 will come up later tonight

The hotlap is on lfsnet

the only thing i see is a 13 minute lap. It would be better if you send the replay to [email protected]

Yeah, there are 4 places available for each division. We do however require that you make a hotlap of Fern Bay Club so we can see your speed, and put you in the right division.

Ok, i've added the replays and ill add a link to the extended stats later this evening.
Official results and a points table will come after the complaint deadline ends and when the complaints have been reviewed, so I guess sunday at the latest.

why dont you just get a game like nfs dude, seeing as you like all the crappy stuff that game has?

They are being uploaded right now.

both, but just restarting your pc and router has the same effect.

find a button called dhcp release, and then press on dhcp renew. You can also just reboot every electrical device hooked on your pc (i dunno which devices you have), and when they boot they should get a new ip address.

If you can drive with 180 degrees, you can do it with 720 too, it just takes some practice. I'd recommend making small jumps in degrees until you hit 720 or just practice more.

Quote from duke_toaster :

It's like having a script do all the driving for you - IMO it's cheating.

Then you should also consider 90% of all lfs drivers cheaters as they use a mix of throttle blip/cut, throttle help/brake help and auto gears.

imo it's valid to use launch control or traction control seeing as no one made any rules about them. So if you really dont want to see apps like that, make a rule book.

Quote from anttt69 :

How do you mean take care of your connection?
If I drop from the server its either my ISP or the server thats caused it to happen. Surely this is beyond my control & does not deserve punishment?

Sure, ISP's sometimes **** up. But you can do things before the race to minimize the risk. You can replug all your connectors, reboot the router/switch modem/pc, get new ip by dhcp so you have a fresh lease, or any other thing you think might work.
The thing is, anyone can say it's their ISP while their anti virus kicks in, so there is no way to check what the failure was, and teh fact that LFS only runs on windows multiplies the number of reasons by 100.
I compare a lag out to an engine failure in real life. So if you want your "engine" to last longer, you have to make it last longer.


Btw, to give you an example on how you can cause your own lag out.
I've ran a linksys wrt54g with default firmware which doesn't really cope well with bittorrent. Every time I downloaded it kept hundreds of connections alive which caused the router to bog down. If a router cpu bogs down, it will route packets slower causing lag and ultimately a connection failure.
To remedy this I've put linux on it and put the tcp connection timeout to a low figure, so I never had the problem anymore (not running linksys crap helps a lot).
So as you see, lag is not always an ISP problem, but sometimes it's even your own problem.

there have been numerous posts about this and how to get it running in osx, so use the search...

I do wanna say that there is no maximum lap time because we simply can't come up with a number and enforce that. For example if someone spins off he will exceed the maximum time, so this is why there won't be one.
But, if you can barely drive your car because it's so wrecked, you will receive a black flag + orange ball and be disqualified.

AND, remember if you are wrecked, and you fail to comply with the 80% rule, you won't be classified. So please use your brain and decide what to do if you drive a wrecked car.

Regarding lagging out on the last lap, it sucks, i know. But we shouldn't reward people who don't take care of their connections or forget to turn of their anti virus.
Imo people should only be classified if they cross over the finish line after the leader did within 80% of the race distance.

Quote from Dr Dink :

Plus you should only attempt the pass if you can get more than half of your car past the person in front without touching them or altering their course.

Ofcourse we all know this, but the thing is that on this track even that is barely possible.

I'd also like to ask drivers to simply spectate if there car is severely damaged and you can't drive a lap within 1 minute. If you can't drive within 1 minute there is a big possibility that you won't drive 80% of the racing distance and won't be classified (no points).
So if you feel you can't do that, please do yourself a favor (because driving a wrecked car and seeing blue flag for 30 minutes is no fun), and the other drivers as well (moving chicanes are no fun on this track).

I do would like to stress the almost impossibility of passing on this track, so please be careful. The only real possibilities to pass is when someone makes a mistake, outbraking someone is not a real option on so3r.

I think it's best to just cancel the random weather as well paul, cuz i'm sure people will whine about that too it if someone decides to use a shadow as a braking point.

I thought having wind and changing conditions would make racing more fun, because this is a fun league. So just to avoid future moaning (and making sure I still have some fun) I'll change everything in the calendar to clear skies and no wind.

Problem solved.

Ok, because there has been so much moaning about wind, which makes teh 'driving experience' so bad according to some, we'll scrap the wind and weather settings we had planned.
It would've been nice to drive around in sunsets and see the windmills turning (also nice background for pictures), but we'll stick to hotlap mode.
If there is a next season we'll plan in time.

just an update:

Feature race will stay with no wind and clear skies, but the sprint race will have low wind and cloudy evening.
