Thank you for your time little noob

lol, post count isn't everything. Don't make assumptions about people based on a silly number.

[dSRC] - digiServ Racing Club was founded in late April 2004 by Ian.H and tinyk.

Vic, that is an awesome feature!

A great tool for comparing lines and times. Kudos to you

One question... how does it work? Does it work from stored replays in a similar way to spectator? It is very acturate anyway and allows you to see slight differences in line. Amazing.

I would like to officially retract my vote, Gunn gets mine now

edit: Ive actually met a few of the dSRC folks + quite a few others at the Karting event. Unfortunately I got confused with forum names and real ones so I'm not 100% sure who is who!

Id say Ive met about 10 properly, and the rest ive just seen:
[dSRC]-Ed, Bladey, Grivage and Nick Whitney.
Others- Rob, CP, BobSmith (& the other dude from MRNL! sry i forget!) Chris Kerry (iirc) and the rest I forget or have gotten mixed up. Lets hope we can all arrange a more sociable event next time.

I squashed my mother so I could make more friends! (the scary thing is it's true!)

Good thread

people often say you just need to clean the switch contacts. try spraying some WD40 in there to help, or take it apart and clean it.

edit: sorry i think that applies more to paddles. cleanin it will always help anyway.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I totally agree. Maybe it's because I never bothered with GTR/GTL, but GTR2 just feels... well, it doesn't "feel" at all - that's the problem. nK Pro was* a better experience than this.

* Assuming it's dead now.

ditto.

LFS and nKpro both have at the least good feedback IMO so that you can actually tell what the car is doing. You can basically get in a car and go and know when you can push etc etc etc etc etc.

^^^^ignore that too

Quote from Crazy Harry :

Sure, but isn´t it allowed to defenDDD!!! against this ... spam?

I'd consider replying to that spam a total waste of time. You will get alot further if you rise above it and concentrate on the more constructive stuff.

haha

SNIP

Surely you realise that that is all obvious Spam, thats the stuff you should ignore.

I like this thread, keep em coming

Sorry but that link just takes me to Tokyo and Perth motorshow pics. A more direct link would be more useful.

Quote from Victor :

nope, it's running on 63392 and always has been.

ok, must just have been the low number of drivers on track.

Can I ask a quick question Vic?

Are you running the AutoX server on a different port to normal?

The reason I ask is that my ISP restricts the usual LFS port but the AutoX server you ran seemed to be ok. This might just have been due to fewer racers on track at the same time, but I thought I would ask anyway to be sure.

TIA

Quote from Vain :

Begin on soft ground. When you're not in training your running-technique isn't in shape either so you'll need to practice a good technique that puts few stress on your joints (happens rather automatically with time). So start jogging in the woods or somewhere before you start on tarmac. Bad technique and tarmac equals pain, for weeks after the event.

Vain

That is probably where I went wrong with the running machine....good tip. I had done alot of off-road running before that and hadn't had any problems.

Im loving it

My little bit of advice from personal experience, is to be careful and don't over do it.

Pay attention to any niggling feelings or cramps as you DO NOT want a lasting injury.

I made the mistake of continuing to run on a running machine after i felt a pain in my knee which I thought was muscular and would just go away. Unfortunately I kept going and I have been trying to shake it off for about 10months now. Yes 10 months

So if you have any aches or pain out of the ordinary pay attention to them

who?

Unfortunately I don't think this thread is going to progress anymore.

I hope the FM chaps realise that alot of people have actually tried to help and have given their opinions. As someone else said somewhere as an example, so many people surely can't be so wrong.

Take a chill pill guys, step back, ignore the spam and try not to be so defensive. IMO you guys have thrown a question over the wall and have not given the resonable responses the consideration they deserve.

Quote from Torben :

Alright, true that in every forum is spam and stuff. But in my humble opinion, people just read FM and/or Oval and thats it. For many people Oval is just skillles crap. #1 But you cant make an opinion by doing 2 races. As I said before my first hours on the oval server where crap as well. But I was willing to learn and now I am enjoying this. Most people posting here cant make constructive comments, they just state, that the spamming is evil, FM is evil and arrogant. #2 But that the spam is necessary to have at least one good race out of 5, they just dont wanna hear it. We run this server for quite a while now, and believe us, we tried it without that spam, it just didnt work out.
If someone can tell me, how to tell new drivers not to stand on the track other than repeating it over and over again, I am willing to try it out, but to be honest, there is no other way on such a track. Its fast and intense. Its different to road courses. Its an oval. And its part of LFS even though some people wish it wouldn't.

#1: You are right in saying you can't make an opinion by doing 2 races. BUT, you cannot keep disregarding people opinions about the oval racing because they have little milage. I myself will have a tiny ammount of oval milage compared to yourself, but my experience of LFS on all the other tracks allows me to learn quickly about how things operate on the oval. I would consider my self easily experienced enough to race oval perfectly well, as I have a couple of team mates who occasionally also join in - thus we learn how to race as a team etc and the strategies that can be used. So I would say most people DO have a valid opinion here as experienced racers. Oval is NOT so alien that they are so inept to make comments about it.

#2: I think by calling it SPAM yourself you are proving the point. SPAM is a hate object in the internet world and will NEVER be accepted. Im glad to hear you have tried not using it, but in my experience all the important messages just get lost in the sea of spam.

Quote from 510N3D :

thats it i will not reply here again. people do not read or understand what i try to say and nearly only negative facts are picked up to reduce us to a certain level. In MOST of the replies there is no objectivity at all, things get mixed up, words and situations get turned around and thats why it is useless to keep/have a normal conversation.

all the best to everybody and enjoy the things you do.

[FM]^Plaztikman

Im sorry but you did ask. How can you expect it to be all flowers and butterfly replies?

I suggest you ignore the obvious abuse and take on the constructive criticism, if there is any

Quote from Torben :

Its true that we wanted opinions (constructive ones) but when people post such things like "I thought FM stood for Fu**ing Munkies", I mean why post such things at all. Thats ridiculous. Go get a life.

Its upto you guys to filter out the obvious crap and take on the proper criticism. What forum doesn't have spam and abuse? Don't be disheartened by some of the stuff posted here, just ignore it and take on board those people who are genuinely trying to help and providing proper feedback.

Saw over at RSC that Andy Mahood has a 'preview' of LFS S2 in the September edition of PC Gamer.

What I would like to point out to you FM guys is....

You created this thread to recieve feedback about your team and community, correct?

I would like to suggest then that you at least have patience in reading and digesting what people have written. At the moment all you seem to be doing in this thread is immediately responding with rebukes and denials about how your server is run. I think you should take a step back and let comments and criticisms be made.

What is the point in asking for comments if you reject them on almost every occasion? By the ammount of negative comments on here (ignoring the blatant oval bashing) I would say there are definately aspects of your community and servers you need to look at more closely. Despite your team's experience etc etc, you do not know it all and you should take some of the comments as constructive criticism and do something about it. THAT would make you a better team and far more respected for admitting the problems you have and rectifying them.
