f1 commentators are muppets, so you're better without. But if you really need some, just read the commentary at f1 live timing

We have a new schumacher in the making:

Crashing the car after you get pole position

Anyhow, I can see on tv that there's no rain at all, clear skies eve, so the radar messed up.

I can see some rain in nevers region here:

But it might just be a radar messing up, not sure yet

Quote from Andy King :

Hi Mikey,
When I admin a race which is usually done in spectator mode, if I send a race control message and then get distracted then theirs noway of me knowing the message is still showing incar unless I join race. Could your program perhaps change the background colour when a message is sent in LFS display.

In LFS when RCM messages are sent, be it globally or privately to a driver, spectators will also be able to see the message until it's removed. If the program is not working that way, then you need to provide your exact handling of the app and some screenshots for a bug report.

I could add support for the changing button background, but it's quite useless because you can already see (or you should) what message you're broadcasting.

Quote from Andy King :

Perhaps we could have an Name for each button title like:

Blue Flag >> Please respect the BLUE FLAG at all times

LFS Button name would be Blue Flag and it would send "Please respect the BLUE FLAG at all times"

By doing this the Buttons in LFS could be smaller thus allowing us to have another 2 columns

True, it would clean up the interface on the lfs side, but this also doubles the amount of information to the user, which is something I don't prefer in an easy to understand application.
Maybe, and I really mean maybe, i'll implement it if other users start requesting it.

Quote from Andy King :

Edit Is it possible to have 2 modes of display, when I admin my servers I am spectating, if I see a racer stationary on track it would be nice to send RCM to just that racer with your program as its so simple to use, can your program detect the name of driver I am spectating on and if I am in Player Mode it sends RCM_Ply to just that Racer. Then if I want to send RCM to All I switch to All Mode. mmm interesting subject eh lol.

If I remember correctly insim also exports the playerID of the player you're spectating, and by that you can get the player name, which you need for the RCM command. So yes, I think it's possible to send private RCM's to people through my program.
I think I'll set up the control key for private messages (because I don't really want to add "modes" to my program), so when you're speccing "playerA" and control click on a button he will be the only one receiving it.
Private messages might even warrant an increase in messages for the program, which is something you'd like as well I think


To sum it up, please give me feedback on point 1, I'll consider point 2 if more people start requesting it, and point 3 I'll start investigating when Im around my pc again because I only have my macbook pro with me now (and there is no insim.txt on it)

Yeah, I remember his wheel with buttons sticking out everywhere, it looked hilarious

epic fail

Originally I started with 5 boxes but later doubled it to 10, and I honestly can't think of any league that used 30 different race control messages...

So if you really, really need 30 boxes, please explain why and persuade me

just sign out of msn you muppets, problem solved

the kooks - naive

catchy tune

thanks for sharing

Well, last time I checked it still worked fine on my pc + sb live which provides a gameport.

It's pretty negligible imo. It's more a style and rhythm thing because the end result is always the same (you end up in the desired gear with your rev's matched).

Quote from der butz :

One thing: instead of manually exiting the rcm could you make a "clear message" button? That would definately make the app prefect for a noooob like me!

You mean something like:

Quote from mikey_G :

- Clicking a button with the right mouse button will remove any message on screen.

?

If you aren't a numpty and you can open and close things without wrecking them, then you won't be invalidating your warranty because they won't find out anyway.

Btw, why do you need so many buttons?

a MS FF also works on windows xp with the default drivers that are within the OS, but i don know if buying a 8 year old wheel is such a good idea...

spr files are not mpr files, so what you're suggesting is useless.

Anyhow, getting telemetry for multiplayer lfs, when the default packet update rate is 4 per second, is pretty useless as well.

I'm impressed that you even knew that there was an older supra. Most drift wannabe's only know the 2nd one...

My vote goes to the 1st of course, unless you wanna look like a cock in the cocksmobile

Quote from Dru :

I thought they ran on petrol/gas not 9volt batteries?


Well the only thing I can come up with is fighting fire with fire... so i'm gonna send this guy out to get ya - does that count

LMAO @ the icecream

Kinda reminds of me this (only in regards of the icecream)

Ari gold ftw!

Can't wait to see what you'll come up with, cause this bunny comes with a merkava tank

np, it's kinda my "thing" to spot spelling mistakes and complain about them

they used to hate me for it back at zwr

look for "Relevent Lap: and you shall find

@SamH

I'm pretty sure "relevant" is still spelled "relevant" (and no "relevent")

It's on this page: http://www.raceauthority.com/r ... lookup.asp?ReportID=12313

I think we do know the real you, because your actions show what kind of person you are.
