I learned something from lfs tonight. That its not good to get in the way of those who are gifted with speed. They have this thing, called an ego, and its the size of a house. It doesnt matter that you are there racing for position, they just expect you to move over no matter what, or make it really easy to pass.
Here is a wake up call to you guys...

IT DOESNT WORK LIKE THAT!
Regardless of those people, I enjoyed tonight. It was fun, for the first time in a long time in lfs, I found it fun. So thank you to Dan for making that so in giving his time to run this league.
Race One, finished 4th, which was very nice to be honest. Felt I earned it, as others fell to the side, making it easier of course. But hey, thats me.
Race Two, well see, I made the mistake of not getting out of the way of those I was racing, but anyway, im bored of this now, so ill leave it there and go play a game.
Good racing overall, thanks to those who know how to race.

I love this racetrack in the MRT. The uphill 'unrealistic' chicane isnt a problem if taken with commitment flat. Ive had great races here with DBP Drivers and with Storm Cloud of R4R. A great little track.. if only for this car!
DBP Public will be set to this combo tonight for some practice, all welcomed.

Hi
You dont seem to have given this that much thought. I agree (for the first time) with birder here.. It takes time and its not easy. When are you advertising your events..? How much time are you giving people to see them on the Race Calendar before they actually happen? What is the special thing that makes people think "oh I really want to go and choose that server out of the 600+ available.
The "Special" thing as far as I can tell at the moment is that you server runs with 13 slots..
The Public/Private thing.. Surely you have that the wrong way around.. In my experience, if you want your server full, run a popular combo on a public server until you get regulars, then go for organised events on a private server.
Finally.. Even in Australia.. Dont people work in the day time? Would the peak point not still be in the evening for the Australia Community?
My 2p.

Its great that finally there is some progress on this, but a few questions if I may...
Do you have the results of last season still?
With there now being handicaps and restrictions, has it been explored if using balast could be beneficial rather than actual passengers?
I forget my third question, but im sure it will come.

Cheers, thank you for your helpful reply 
, might look into them myself, as that is a nice price for ws2003 access!
, might look into them myself, as that is a nice price for ws2003 access!Well after finding out I dont know what im talking about, the will to helping you detail vanishes.
Regardless,
I use a VPS from Knownhost. Search for them. They are US based. I dont have console access, which is what I got the impression you required.
@ mcgas001, the company you said you used, do you get access to the "virtual machine" as detail puts in from his "definition" ? Is that access through a web-based control panel, or actual remote desktop access to the virtual machine?

500servers is also not a webhosting company, 500servers hosts lfs servers and sometimes provides webspace to clients.
Im not sure how many vps providers give access to the virtual machine, it sounds to me like you are looking for a dedicated box.

Webhostingtalk has always been my best starting point for finding vps services. Try there, otherwise google.

Franky is working hard on this Watch this (or other) space!
Watch this (or other) space!Everyone is very genuine from what I can tell. And yes the MRT is probably the "twitchiest" car we have, but its something that I enjoy personally. I mean no trouble whatsoever, thanks to [GR]Evolution for understanding
I dont mean to cause any fuss, I dont mean to give your name a bad reputation, that is not my intention. I do appreciated that your intention was not to take me out of the race. I was defending, but not blocking.
My answer to what was you suppost to do, would generally be "brake and be aware of those around you", which is what everyone else on track should be doing. But it does get awful tiring having to plan your race around the moves and reactions of others. I appreciate that too.
I know we play for fun, but where is the fun in getting taken out? Where is the fun? Is in general a question ive been asking myself a lot lately. Surely the challenge in the AR MRT Challenge is the challenge of racing.. not the challenge of getting out of the way all the time.
Anyway, none of this really matters. You and I are at oppersite sides of the championship scale, you are winning, I am not. But, and this goes for anyone, unless there is "blue flag" on my screen and I am holding others up, I shouldnt be expected to move out of the way for faster cars.
Im also not saying that you said nor implied that.

So what if im in the way you will just push to pass.. Cos thats how it works.
Thats fine with me, I just like to know how and to what standard others are racing, you know, so I can adapt myself and do the same back to you.
Thankfully, I didnt have to lower my racing to your level, you did that all by yourself later in the race.

Sorry about that, everything about that start was going perfectly. Till I realised the car wasn't in gear!
Fairly disappointed with the actions of some on the track, particularly those overtaking. There isn't much room on this track, and when lapping, its helpful to those being lapped if the lapping driver is actually awake.
To those I took out, im very sorry. To those who took themselves out while overtaking me.. not my fault, but im sorry for those too.
The guy with the big long name with the black tag and yellow name who touched me for position in race two.. I was happy to see you finish lower down the order.
Thanks for looking into it regardless sam!
SS1 its not down exactly, but many people are strugging to keep a connection, very laggy.. any ideas?
I love this combo (can you tell), although tyre temps are screwing with my tiny little brain at the moment!
Dont cancil my belovered mrt! !
0:39.430 429 laps.
Looking for a good set of results from here. Ive found in testing that tyres will actually heat up on this combo, but not enough to worry about. Also, have a setup which ill happily share which is stable but fast.
I need a good result to make up for the disaster of Fern Bay!

LFS Lapper (in its first instance) used to include a feature were you can tell it to recognise different players. It now uses licence names I believe. Ive not used lapper for a very long time, so I cannot be sure, but I remember some used to use it to give team members.. functions within servers etc..
Might be useful information to read/download lfs lapper..

Which is why they designed a program, infact there are two or three which can be found in the Unnofficial addons section of the forum.
There are also thousand of batch file renamer programs found via google, which is what I did, before thinking to check the lfs forums.
Good luck!

I miss the bump n jump server! come on sam 
Thats a fairly long sentence, ive quoted it entirely as so not to be accused of miss-quoting.
Generally, you will find that a team which has a "real" domain/website wont be one of these so-called "forum teams" which are set-up on Monday and disbanded on Wednesday.
Generally, if you are in a team, or to be accepted to a team, then they will wish you to visit their team website, that point, is in most cases, a deal breaker.
Personally, I don't wish to waste your time at all, it frankly doesn't seem worth it to bother with you. You seem to be very stuck into what you are looking for with no wiggle room whatsoever.
Of the two offers which you were very lucky to have had posted with such a "high and mightly" opening post, both websites are worth a visit. Both have many active members and both would not comply with the quoted above.
Lack of respect.. from yourself you mean, yes, that is sad, however, expected these days.
The least "us guys" can do is not post and keep your opinions to yourself.. Take a little look at where you are. You are posting on a forum. A forum is a place for discussion. Get used to seeing people's opinions.
It has nothing to do with lack of respect. If you do not wish your time to be "wasted", then please, don't waste others.
As for awaiting a "good patch".. Well that together with not having your time wasted, I believe would put your potential chances of getting a place with any team posting here, down low. Very low.
Finally, nah, not worth it.
Goodnight.
im sorry but I hardly think that online racing within a sim like lfs is going to have any negative effect on your real life karting. The G25 in lfs (im guessing, I dont have one) is not "crap" as you stated. I use a DFP, which has the same 900 degree of streering lock available to it.
But, you dont have to use the full 900 degree of lock. LFS doesn't have a kart. Its not something which can be easily compared in my opinion, but for it to be crap, i would suggest that it is just not set up right.
Im not a karter, never have been, but I do drive, and have driven single seater racing cars in the days gone by. - Ive never noticed a negative effect caused by a simulator.
Why not set your G25 to 90 degrees and try driving within lfs like that..?
