ISP - Zen , will open 69339 or what ever port it is , UDP + TCP , thats what it was before , then it'll work

Um not sure what you are saying there?

Is that a question or a statement that they have or are going to open the port?

The problem I had was that they opened up the port....then decided to throttle it again! Ive yet to re-contact them to question what it was all about.

Who is your ISP? And can you see servers in the server list at all, or are they all too slow to join or you get cut off too easily?

My thinking is that that your ISP could have blocked the ports belonging to LFS. This is becoming more and more common especially with 'free' broadband packages that are over subscribed - read Talktalk.

Actually, saying Blocked is not the correct term, they are actually Restricted or Throttled. Here is a quick test for you....If you can be bothered, try online racing after 12.30 midnight. This is when my ISP (Talktalk) lift the port restrictions and allow full bandwidth on LFS ports.

It wouldn't be Blackwood without the chicane, the chicane MAKES Blackwood.
I also like Blackwood because of its lack of multiple setups. Like Westhill, it is a track on its own and not just a spaghetti multiple configuration track.

LOL, not even one tenth of the players.

Really? It would be nice to see stats for that.

I like this idea alot. Especially a map rotation scheme. Alot of people moan about there not being enough variation in LFS, but with a map/car rotation scheme then people could have a great selection and a very varied session of races.

Obviously Hotlappers or people who are practicing/learning won't like the constant track and car changing but IMO it would make a nice change.

OT: Come back to LFS then have you doorman?

Im currently MIA with a dodgy ISP so I might have missed you on the servers/

I have just renamed the files for mine, but I guess an On/Off option would be nice.

you want someone to buy it for you?

Quote from Victor :

hmm can peeps who read this please check if the post-orders are ok now? You may still get strange side effects, but posts should be in the correct order now i think

Yes, correct order in this thread, and in another thread that was messed up earlier even though the dates are still in the future

lol, i just noticed too!

nice glitch

Do people have no common sense?

Nothing's happening. Kunos put out one patch to fix some of the most killer bugs, but promised another one about a month ago which never materialised, and nobody's heard from him since.

Hmm thats a shame. I was ready to support another indy developer once it reached some sort of stable stage. I haven't been following its development on the forums much at all now, so I guess I never realised he has abandoned it.

I suppose it highlights the need for communication like we have here.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

If we're expecting European visitors, wouldn't it be polite to pick a venue near a major international airport? Manchester seems like the best fit, given that it's quite central.

Agreed.

And what if the Europeans organise an event? TBH I don't see why not, hopping on a plane/ferry/train isnt too bad and beats driving everywhere. As long as it is near a transport hub like you say. Even if a van(s) was hired for the weekend etc etc.

lol! flashback to childhood cartoons!

um no. not possible and will never happen.

and i think they might prefer Hugs to Bugs

Quote from ayrton senna 87 :

theres a track near edinborough called RaceLand, indoor and outdoor circuit.
if i had it my way we would all go up there but its too far for any foreign people/welsh/most people to travel. Great track tho, cheap too.

I think we need a central event, somewhere near Leister of however u spell it

August it is then.

TBH, for people coming from abroad I think where it is held is a moot point unless they are driving like me. I even considered getting a cheap flight/train, and I would think that people from europe would most likely do the same.

Sure it is always easier to get to 'central' England (read near London), but somewhere completely different really wouldn't be hard or make much of a difference for those who are already making a large journey. For instance, I would even consider going to a European event if it was big enough and well organised.

Ever thought that he might not even need or want to post here?

By the ammount of 'dev-swarming' that goes on, he would probably waste more time here if he started posting.

No doubt he just checks the bugs and gets on with his work. So far he has done a damn fine job so I say leave the man alone.

Very good game of football that. I enjoyed it as a neutral.

I wanted Germany to go through to keep the great atmosphere, but tbh at the end I thought Italy were just the better team.

And for those going on about diving, well I thought it was a great match played in a great spirit. Probably the most sportsman like performance I have seen in a game of football in a long time, which I think was partly down to the referee letting the game flow.

Bladey made me breakfast at his house

Do I win?

Back on topic: I think a LFS weekender is quite a good idea. Would maybe be best if arranged around a bank holiday weekend or such.

I personally would prefer activities rather than LAN party stuff. IMO a LAN party would take up the whole weekend in terms of setting up and co-ordinating, where as going to paintball and karting or whatever are more straightforward and less likely to be a pain in the ass.

No I think your Hotlaps and PBs are kept seperately.

Hotlaps would be fair to add into the PB database, but the other way round would obviously open up cheating.

TBH the UK is pretty sucky for national holidays.

I can't recall anymore off the top of my head.

England celebrates St.Georges Day as a national day.
Scotland celebrates St.Andrews Day as a national day.
Wales...um...remind me someone....daffodil day?
Obviously Ireland has St.Patricks.

The only annoying thing about these national days is that they aren't made into holidays, which I think they should be for there respective nations.

I still can't think of a good whole-of-UK day.

well that didn't translate very well did it.

any fellow argentinians? or are you all crying after the football?

Hmm, isn't there a readme or sticky for this stuff?

Personally I don't do Hot Lapping, but for those beginners who want to try it it is a little bit of a puzzle.

Excuse me if im wrong.

I want a BBQ too! Can you email me some burgers and ribs?

Hmm, maybe ill just have to make do with spag bol!

Quote from tristancliffe :

High.

I want to go somewhere else next time. Northampton is good cos it's sort of in the middle, but maybe we should go more north next year (or more south ).

Middle....pfft! Try driving 9.5 hours!

Just kidding, tbh it is the most central considering that people from europe might also want to come.

Out of curiosity I will look into Knockhill Ive heard mixed reports and im not even sure if they have good twin engine karts. However, it is obviously way too far out the way for you folks!

Just for once can we NOT turn this into an anti-American thread. It seems that anytime anyone mentions America they get on the good-old bandwagon and start abusing them.

This celebration is for the heritage of America and is celebrated by US citizens who have no real say about world affairs.
