Sad to see you not joining chris, I was hoping to have some good fights again which we had in the uf1000 league



btw, a question for all you ufr-br pro's:

What transmission does this car have?

I was checking yesterdays replays, but it looked like I was the only one not flatshifting. So, was I doing silly stuff lifting the throttle at every gearshift, or was it correct ?

I know of multiple persons on this forum who made a limiter, but are not willing to share it with the public.

@morpha, sending keys which lfs uses is not possible.

Quote from Dajmin :I think what the devs could do is get hold of telemetry data for real life sections of road. Take, for example, the area of the M25 a little way from my house. There must be data for it somewhere.

So you get the height, width, bumps and stuff, and you have a section of road. Find a few roads that match up to make a circuit, remove all of the junctions and stick what you've got on top of a big patch of grass. Real roads made into a fictional track. Cake

Indeed. Wouldn't take huge amounts of time or $$$ as actually "lasering" a whole track.

LFS doesn't really NEED laser scanned track, we just need more bumps on the track and I have no clue why the devs haven't done this already. The past year lfs went to a "more" hardcore mode with the removal of certain driving aids and addition of other transmission types, but we still have easy and sterile tracks.

I'm thinking of getting iracing, but I'd like to know a few things from the beta testers:

-Are there any driving aids? like throttle blip or cut
-Is there a system like lfs' outgauge in iracing, because I prefer making my own displays.
-How crowded is iracing atm? Will I be doing "time trials" on racing servers, or are they usually packed?
-What license do I need for the skip barber car? I just love that car

And lastly, when can I buy it? It's kinda shitty to see videos on utube and vimeo, and not being able to do the same

And a remark for the people who say it's too expensive; it's only 13 us dollars a month. And since dollars are worth as much as toilet paper I dont really see this as a problem.
I just have to drink 2 less wodka redbulls per month (4 euro's a pop here) and my accountant won't even notice a difference in my spendings

Quote from evilpimp :I really don't see why people hate Hamilton so much. Just because James Allen LOVES him you have to hate him? Enlighten me on what he did to be considered a dick to you guys?

This crash was plainly due to stupid lights going off like that. He couldn't do much about it. He braked, tried to go to the left to avoid a crash, locked the wheels and ended up hitting raikkonen. Plain accident.

He is to blame for not being consentrated enough to realise they were braking but I think it's really because of those stupid lights going off.

I dont hate hamilton, im actually a fan of him.

BUT

He KNEW the pits would be closed. Every race driver would know that the pits is closed when the safety car with the rest of the field drives past. It's like, called: a rule

Im quite curious about what james allen was saying about this incident... He probably blamed raikkonen

weather radars in the vicinity of montreal are still clear from rain and thunderstorms, so it looks like it's gonna be a dry race.

What I always do in the summer is grabbing 2 80mm fans, use 1 for sucking in air into the case, and the other one sucking air out (the one sucking air out should be highest btw).
A fan near the window/doorway blowing some fresh air to your pc area works good as well.

btw, recently because of the heat I had this problem as well, and it turned out to be the northbridge chip (which was only passively cooled) which was constantly overheating.

Good luck fighting the heat

I had that too

Me and some friends were in the back of an american van, kinda like the A team van, and the driver of the van (a brother of a friend) was driving like a lunatic through Eilat until we hit a giant speedbump.
As the van did not have seatbelts in the back, we pretty much went airborne and all hit our heads pretty bad.
Luckily no one got head wounds, but we never drove in that van again

I think most people already knew that the FIA was a shitty organization, but this is just mind blowing.

Only thing I'm hoping for now is that the AAA, ADAC and certain automobile brands will go further with their threats instead of pussy'ing out.

What I have for now is a last-gen compact picture camera that takes pretty nice videos but still looking for a solution to mount it properly.

ducttape ftw

My former pc had this problem as well, which had a 2800+ and a 6800gt. I think it had to do something with the sound lag option or the way lfs operates when a user leaves the pits.
I remember there being a lot of topics about this "sound stuttering lag" like 1 1/2 year ago, so maybe those topics have the solution for you.

edit: found a post about it: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=17268
It sums up the following possiblities:
- Sound hardware acceleration
- vsync implementation in lfs
- dual cpu problem, but im pretty sure your 3200 is a uniprocessor.

Maybe you can write outgauge-gateway-like code in your own program, or maybe write a easy to understand front-end for outgauge gateway in your program?

It's a shame only 1 app can receive the udp packets, but tbh, I don't really see that changing in the future.

There is this in insim:

struct IS_PIT // PIT stop (stop at pit garage)
{
byte Size; // 24
byte Type; // ISP_PIT
byte ReqI; // 0
byte PLID; // player's unique id

word LapsDone; // laps completed
word Flags; // player flags

byte Sp0;
byte Penalty; // current penalty value (see below)
byte NumStops; // number of pit stops
byte Sp3;

byte Tyres[4]; // tyres changed

unsigned Work; // pit work
unsigned Spare;
};

// Pit Work Flags

enum
{
PSE_NOTHING, // bit 0 (1)
PSE_STOP, // bit 1 (2)
PSE_FR_DAM, // bit 2 (4)
PSE_FR_WHL, // etc...
PSE_LE_FR_DAM,
PSE_LE_FR_WHL,
PSE_RI_FR_DAM,
PSE_RI_FR_WHL,
PSE_RE_DAM,
PSE_RE_WHL,
PSE_LE_RE_DAM,
PSE_LE_RE_WHL,
PSE_RI_RE_DAM,
PSE_RI_RE_WHL,
PSE_BODY_MINOR,
PSE_BODY_MAJOR,
PSE_SETUP,
PSE_REFUEL,

};




Although i dont know if it detects the things you can do in the f12 menu, what dru is pointing at.
