Quote from thisnameistaken :In my experience, people who are going to be fast are fast straight away, or at least in a matter of months.



If those people were fast enough to deserve a better license, they would be beating the guys with the fancy licenses.

Quote from Demon68 :It's off topic, I know but

I can't believe this discussion, I hear people say "better drivers take my points away" Duhhhh

That's what this system is all about, Faster = more points !

If you want more points DRIVE FASTER !'

I agree with you in most of your points in this thread.
Why should clubman drivers with less skill (they cant beat the national drivers) be able to have a licence progress which is as fast as the guys they cant beat. So we need the racing/fastes lap time dependence in the points and national drivers should still be able to go to ss1.
What i have experienced is, you dont get the same amount of points then "clubman" driver, thats fair because thats the encouragment to go to ss2. But tbh if there are only 2-3 drivers on ss2 o wouldnt jpin there if there are 10+ drivers on ss1. Because racing begins for me with like 10+ people. Its just boring driving against 2-3 others.
The other thing what i experienced is, if you are clubman and there are a lot of nationals around and you beat them all, get fastest lap, + lap record, you earn a hell lot of points! More points as if you were just beating a few clubmans and didnt get into good time.
Points and licences shouldnt be given away just for drivers who spent there whole life on ctra-servers and still cant drive near the top-drivers. Thats sounds maybe a bit arrogant, but i think the licences are to show that you have a certain amount of skill and not just a certain amount of time spend on the server. The time always plays in there, but will much more effect if you ban all good drivers from the clubman server.

I am good in remembering names though, but would be cool if you could group them and each group would be shown with different colours.

Its not that i would call everyone "friend". I have good buddies in there, people i just like to race with, because they give good and friendly competition.
Have wreckers in there to know which server to avoid. I have all the top racers in there to know where to go when i need a challenge. All people in there from the leagues i am competing, all drivers from our "friend teams", i organized 2 seasons from a cup therefore all drivers in there and so on... and i am around for 2 years...a lot drivers met there

1. If there is prizemoney involved, would you pay a little fee for a season?
If the league is well organized for me doesnt need to be prizemoney to keep my interest and therefor no need for an entrance fee in my opinion. But if its top-notch organized, extremely user friendly, easy to get into, a lot of lfs buddies racing there, international and the fee not to high (~5€ for a season), then i wouldn't mind paying a fee.

2. What type of racing would you prefer? Sprints of 30 mins, longer races? open wheel or GT racing? Or both?
Personally i prefere a system of an about 10mins sprint race and a longer race (>60 Minutes ; < 80 Minutes) after with the top drivers reversed. 15 Minutes qualifying
There needs to be an international top organized non endurance GTR-League in my opinion.

3. What prizey would be needed to get you "hot" to definitely taking part in this?
Doesn't need any prizes just a top organization. I wouldn't get a prize anyway.

4. What else could you think of?

Some points i discovered for leagues in the past year which are important for me:
-easy registration/deregistration if you do have a real life its hard to make every race especially in longer seasons +4races
-if its a new car/combo every race i like 14 days racing rhythm due to the reason i mentioned the point above and because i want to start a race well prepared
-easy signup for the league, differs from registration. "signup" for the league, "register" for the race
-a good looking web page with all necessary information (up-to-date) but not to much information that you dont find the important things.
-fast event summary by the admins, including uploading replays, posting the results, stats and championship standings
-easy procedure to submit complaints
-experienced, independant admin and judging team

Hello! I didnt know where to post it exactly hardware or technical issues, so i decided to post it in the off-topic subforum.
I am moving by the end of this month in an old steel-concrete house of the 70s. The problem is i will not longer be on a hard-wire. I will have to use a wire-less connection. So i am a bit afraid that it will affect my connection to the lfs-servers and give me bad lag, make my ar disappearing for others or disconnects. So what are your experiences (wireless lan + online gaming)? What do you recommend for a wire-less-lan adapter? Does a high quality adapter lead to a better signal and more stable connection? The problem is i am total noob when it comes down to technical issues. I read that i maybe need something like a signal repeater, since there is at least one wall and some meters between me and the station. Can anyone tell me about this, pls for a techincal noob.
I cant test the signal before i move in there.
Sad but there is no way i could hard-wire the connection. The other problem is that i have to share the 6m/bit (might be just a 3 mbit connection not 100% sure) connection with at least 2 other users. Any way i could reserve a minimum of the bandwith for my connection?

Thx in advance for the help.

Quote from obsolum : If you want a finished product then LFS is definitely not for you. ;-)

LFS has far less big bugs then most of the so called "finished" games you can buy in your local games-store. A lot of games today are unplayable because they have big bugs where you need to wait for a patch to play on although they are not called alpha and beta.
With LFS you get a full function game and it gets updated all the time untill S2 is finished and then we are all waiting for S3.
Its by far the best game i have ever played. No other game could ever get my attention for 2 years. I have tested a lot of games but they are all crap compared to LFS.

If you could supply some dates soon, i could get into talk with my team if we can make the dates.
We would probably go for at least one GT1 car if you are using XFR/UFR as GT2 class.

Looking forward how you will introduce LFS in the show in the next episode.
I have seen the preview in this show and i have seen you had all the messages, laps, chat, driver names and stuff on, looks much better when you switch all that stuff for some ingame shots. As long as you not trying to explain how LFS works with all that stuff.
Maybe use Shift+u mode instead of standard in-game camera.

Just some little improvement suggestions:
If you show the race results, be sure that they are clearly readable otherwise they are more or less senseless. (Maybe less information but better visible)
If you show the next race for a specific event, hold in the track picture as long as you are speaking about the event and then make the cut. And maybe the logo of that event over the track picture. (When the first cut was i wasnt pretty sure if that track picture belonged to the next event or the event series shown)

Would be cool if you could introduce some of the main LFS Events in your weekly show. For example last week there was the first round of a huge event "Battle of the Teams" lot of drivers competed there, lot of well known teams.

There was a funny thin 1 or 2 day ago. There was one player who said "Hello" to every single player by a bind. For example: "Hello FPR|ALDI#13"
Then a player with the name "f**k" joined the server, he used his bind not knowing there was the auto kick "Hello F**k" and he was gone after 2/3 of the race. The whole server was laughing

got funnier when he came back and said "whats going on here? Is a server admin here?..." and so on.
Just a side note to this filter, think about what will happen if you take to much words.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :
edit: if the gym has a rowing machine I really recommend that.

Totally agree on that. Because its adjustable for your needs, if you do a lot of repeats 200-1000 on less weight its good for endurance and burning kalories and if i go you right you are afraid of getting up some kilos during college month!? If you do less repeats on high weight its good for your power and explosivity.
And it trains nearly the whole body.

I dont like it myself since i prefere doing the sport outdoor but dont you hvae a gym in your college or in the town nearby?

I do half an hour of gymnastic with easy exercises each morning. 2km of swimming 1,2 times a week. Another 2,3 times of 1 hour running. Another 4,5 times of 1 hour cycling (my usually route is about 32 km and 700-800hm) with longer trips at the weekend. Another 1 1/2 hour soccer on sundays. Occasionally just some times in the year i do some tennis, table tennis or badminton.

Quote from Crazy Harry :In my opinion you should not give too much for the statistics.

Exactly! You know! There were those two durch guys (i am not giving names) who "cheated" their wins with a lot 1 lap races on their hidden server, people were sometimes welcome if someone came who was better he got banned before the finish line. How boring i personally think but yeah i wouldnt trust this won races and podiums as an indicator how good or bad someone is.

I am in a team, too. I agree with Kev. This whole voice chat thing is not much for me. I rather concentrate on driving clean and fair instead of listening some crackling voices all the time. But our team is still close together, some like it more being on voice chat, some less. Firstly the 24 hour race this year where we participated with 2 teams brought us closer together and we realised what a great bunch of guys are in the team. Last week we had our first team meeting for our german based members. 6 of our total 14 members attended and it was nice to see that each one is great guy and not a single one where i would say "omg who is that?"
Its really great being in a team where there are people you do get good along with!
Maybe it helped over the time that we picked our memberws pretty wisely and had to say to a lot guys who applied that they'll probably not fit to good to our team. We have a guideline with information about us and how we see our team which everyone who applies should have read first.

We really dont want our team splitting up because of new members rushing in all the time. While being a part of the community over 2 years now, I have seen a lot teams growing up and going down. Especially here in the "teams" subforum. Member hopping where people had like 3 teams in 1 month. Or teams going down, re-estabblished after 1 week and closing down again after 2 more weeks. Often its really a fun to read. There was even a thread with a guideline how to start up a team ( i think it was by battle) which was supposed to help newcomers to form their teams.

What i really like about our team, we are really active, have a nice floating, helpul forum discussion going on with people agreeing and disagreeing, but each one respecting the opinion of the other, on our team forum, its really community like, although we are only 14 members.

An d one thing i may add:
If you join a team people will first see the your team-tag, so whenever you drive on a public server you are representing yourself AND the team, this is the same for your team mates and their attitude towards other racers will come down to you. So choose your team wisely if you dont want your name being linked with bad reputation.

Plus being in a team should always be a "give and get" so i would think twice if a team wants me just to fill the squad and add another member.
In a team there is usually a lot of exchange of the following things. Skins, Setups, driving tips...each member usually has his strength and his bad parts. One is good in organizing a team for a team event the other one is just the damn good driver who can score in those team events. A good and reputated team always needs to have a good mix. Not just super fast drivers with no skills in skinning, web designing, organizing and setup making. A good team usually needs a solid core of drivers preferable real life friends so you know the team wont split up to fast.
Drivers in a team should basically have the same interest in certain cars, for example if all other drivers of the team just drive open wheel cars but you just like driving the RAC you may feel a bit like the 5th wheel on the car.

Lucky enough i found a team which fits those needs perfect and we have a man for every part. Some maybe a little bit slower in driving but bringing forward the team on another part. There are maybe sometimes things we disagree but thats usually solved pretty quick.
