This is what requesting and saving setups is for. During the period of time you're still learning about car setup, simply obtain setups from websites or other players, and use the ones that work the best for you. Then, one day, you will be able to understand enough to make your own changes work.

In the live feed it definitely looked as if Alo had the nose in the second time.

I haven't implied anything about skill or lap speed. Even the 14yo girls doing the local "everyman's rallycross" are hella more competitive than me, but probably aren't the best drivers in the world. Maybe I could afford to race (badly) occasionally, but /careface. Sounds like you're just jumping into random conclusions as if you were a ****ing idiot. Back to the ignore list for you o/

Quote from BlueFlame :nobody was complaining about Vettel being off the track at Monza.

I have no recollection of that event, so I can't comment on it. In my view, intentionally putting 4 wheels outside of the white lines in order to gain an advantage is never acceptable, unless it's to avoid someone who cannot be avoided by staying on the track, in which case it's not really "for an advantage". As for not competitive enough, well duh, are you a ****ing idiot? I'd be racing in RL if I was.

Balance of power has been all over the place.. McLs, Mercs, Perez, sneaky Alolso and now RB and Loltus. Huge differences in performance between races. Interesting, and suprising ^^

Ham tried to drive into a closing gap, instead of accepting that it would be closed by the time he got there and moving back to the racing line to get a better exit. Problem?

First block was fine, second one was too late.

Ropsberg had inside, Hatemelol drove outside of the track instead of going back towards the racing line. Nobody forced him to take it off the track.

Nah FI doesn't need any extra reprimands by any official governing body. Their sponsors probably won't like them skipping sessions for one. If there is some ruling about skipping sessions without some technical reason to do so, fair play. If not, underhand boycott and backhanded comments are a colossal douche move.

I like how the bus is overtaking both cars round the outside.

I brake if there appears to be need for braking, regardless of flags. If someone goes off wide in front of me and I can see there is no way they're spinning back on the track I'm not lifting, yellow flag or not.

Meh. There are plenty of times when lifting is not needed to avoid anyone. Doing so just because the rules say so, regardless of situation, is annoying. Even more so if the person behind lifts.. less.

If I can drive the car back to pits..

Afaik the rear is light and has quite a high roll centre due to the type of rear suspension used, and to get the cars to turn while using a live axle. I don't think they roll over that often, to be honest.

The only way to get a reliable answer is by driving until tyres start to pop. LFS tyres don't lose grip when worn as such, so you can't really tell that way. You could estimate by looking at the F9 display (the tyre surface gets thinner), but it's not very accurate.

Please whatever you do, don't link the full story since there is no way the quote could be taken a little bit out of context.

Disappointing that Davison kept doing the same thing under braking, just cannot drive into other people's lines like that I was expecting that eventually he'd tap himself wide off of Lowndes' car, but meh..

Well I'm just guessing here. Insim.txt says
Quote : byte Flags; // bit 2 : remote

which means that you should do a bitwise comparison to check if bit 2 is set or not.


<?php 
if (~$NCN->Flags 4)
    
// connection is local/host
?>

Or something like that. If bits 0 or 1 are set, Flags == 0 will fail. I have no idea if the two other bits are used for anything, though. Probably a wild goose chase

Alternatively, since the lowest possible value with bit 2 set is 4, you could do

<?php 
if (! ($NCN->Flags >= 4) )
    
// connection is not remote
?>

Though that assumes none of the bits beyond 2 are used..

Sorry if this ends up being a waste of time

Yep, works.

Well, insim.txt says
Quote :UCID; // connection's unique id (0 = host)

So when you're in SP, you are the host and zero works. In MP, 0 is presumably reserved for the remote host and you should use the UCID assigned to your connection. Maybe.

It can be very annoying when people keep fighting for every little inch in every corner, because it means everyone in front is getting away and those behind are catching up. It costing more positions for both is a real possibility. Being able to keep up some semblance of race pace while battling for a position is a part of racing..

But he was still a douche for whining about it.
