Well done!

I wish you and your family all the best for the future.

You might need to adapt your pedals for Leo!

hmmm,

maybe, just maybe, this is a misunderstanding between two racers that has been blown out of proportion.

generally IRL indicating a certain way means you are moving that way, BUT in racing many people signal the side on which they want someone to pass.....so it is very easy to be confused.

very nice work mosquito

now where is that fly swatter

Quote from Chaos :

what we need is a clone of the HalfLife TV... game-server > spectator-server > hundreds of spectators... this way the game-server's load is raised like only one spectator was connected...

That sounds like a good idea.

Yay for thread resurrection!

PS: Victors avatar is cool

So I see

The muppets are excellent! Not sure what that characters name is though
edit: It's Sam the Eagle. Is there anything Wikipedia doesn't know

My connection - 1Mb down / 256Kb up - TalkTalk ISP.
Usually a 40-60ms ping for dSRC servers and most other european servers.

Also, like many other people are saying, 56k worked perfectly well for me in LFS, although I never had it with auto Skin downloading. Wonderful netcode.

im not sure if its exactly what you mean, but its usful if you want to keep track of a team mate in a league race on a private server.

Quote from boosterfire :

Still... [Whisper] It's very good to know what Scawen is doing and I think everybody agrees that it can only be good news. Besides, it will create, I hope, a better "forumistic" attitude. On the other hand, it could be even better (and I mean not good, but unbelievable) to know what are Eric and Victor doing... [/Whisper]

did anyone else 'think' that quieter in their head illepall i did

Quote from Clownpaint :

I think it actually has a lot to do with the league not getting enough exposure.

I agree with that too. I always knew about the German leagues, but somehow ESL UK didn't really show up on the radar much. Sure if you knew and talked to the right people you would know about it (like I do from my team mates), but otherwise your average LFS racer might not have a clue it exists.

In my experience, I have read about alot less of league races since LFS-World changed format. The old LFS-World used to be my gateway to LFS-News and reading race/league reports. TBH it is my own fault for being lazy and not checking the likes of LFS-News and the league sections on this forum.

IMO, the biggest factor for most people, and myself, is that they think they aren't fast enough and that only aliens can apply. It is mostly the fact that these are 'official' tournaments that makes them a bit daunting too.

As I said in my reply on the ESL forum, if there were more grids for a wider ability of drivers this might even the field, but i understand this isn't possible until you ahve enough drivers in the first place.

Anyway, I am interested, and I am sure a few of the mid-pack dSRC guys would be too. ATM I am holding out from joining these more official leagues until I finish uni, then I will probably enter and practice alot more.

Another reason I havent joined a league so far, is that I have a good clean and competitive team in which I race already.

Quote from Scawen :

By the way, when I said "not too long a time"... I'd better point out that we are unlikely to be able to make any announcements or progress reports for at least a month, and maybe two.

i look forward to an update then, not a patch. anything more is a bonus.

if i set myself low goals ill never be disappointed!

Quote from felplacerad :

Quote from LuckyPSD :

Hi, I got the demo yesterday and instantlly got addicted so I unlocked it today. Just one question regarding the unlocking of accounts...
I am a bit on the posh side and have more than one PC and I wondered if the account I have unlocks it for both PC's? They won't be running at the same time as I am guessing that is a no no but if I could jump between different computers that would be spiffy
Thanks in advance and I look forward to hopefully seeing you leave me for dust in the races

i am pretty sure you are allowed to run 2 PCs unlocked on a LAN. i have certainly done so in the past (maybe even with 3 ). but as you say, both will not be able to run online at the same time. you would get the error message 'user name already online' or something to that effect.

most of this is detailed in the rules on the LFS home page im sure.

Quote from JeffR :

I got rid of the spare and the support brackets on my real Caterham SV (1300lb car, 250hp 4 cylinder 2.3 liter Ford Duratec engine):

caterham pics

Now, JeffR, that is one sweet car!

I can only dream!

But, I would say that is very comparable to the LX6.

How do you think LFS measures up?

:bump:

it would seem the drivers have burned a hole in the seat as well.

must have been an awesome curry

i hope something gets adjusted to make the drivers fit properly. if most of the sizes in LFS are real world values and to scale, then it makes me wonder why the models dont fit together in the first place?

maybe the drivers are on a slightly larger scale?

makes sense to me.

but what about the viscous differential? same results?

i have found it quite good to drive with in the LX4 recently. set to 19Nms/rad.

Well, you can see my join date under my avatar

September 2003 - And im still not alien!

imo, we have 2 sets of the same car in different moulds already and i wouldnt want to see anymore of the same model.

do you really want 3 versions of effectively the same cars?

fair enough, a car that matches these specifications might be introduced, but hopefully it would be a brand new model.

i think that is something to do with the draw distance at which the detail levels change. or it might be something to do with AA/AF, i think AF setting work differently the further away things are.

either way, it is just because your car is sitting bang on the detail change line, if you were to drive closer to the camera im sure it would be ok.
one thing to prove this is to drive towards the camera in a GTR, see how close you have to be before the bonnet pins appear.

just found a much better picture showing the roll cages in the LX skins section.

But I’m hungry!

Back OT: If I weren't in my final year at uni I would be willing to write stuff, like a LFS diary or something. Possibly just have features like 'Best forum Quotes', and also include some of the more popular discussions or expectations.

Instead I have to program microcontrollers! weeeeeeeeeeee!!! pop (head explodes) :insane: :eek:

again with the hidden comments..................illepall:

back on topic: anyone reading the first point you make would think you are serious....then it just gets silly!

I cant comment on software firewalls, as im using my router/modem/firewall for those purposes.

but as for anti-virus, i have always used and will continue to use AVG anti-virus. it tells you when updates are available by changing its icon to greyscale in the system tray. its an install and forget piece of software really. i recommend it anyway, and its free.

try http://www.grisoft.com/doc/1 and make sure you get the AVG free edition.
