Turn on auto clutch unless you have a clutch pedal or button. It won't change gear until the clutch is pulled or the revs match the gearbox.

Like reading the whole thread perhaps

I have and haven't seen anything they would go for.

I emailed Top Gear last year with info about LFS and how fast online racing is growing, I didn't get any response. I get the impression they are old in the head and think gaming is for schoolboys, as does most of the mainstream media.

If you want LFS to be featured, I think some kind of challenge will have to be thrown down.

Good luck with your venture.

Anything automated you can think of will be exploited, the only answer is admin present on the servers.

Another game I play has moderators that can go in any server and admin. These people are normal but respected players who are invited by the mod department to become mods, if they accept, they are then trained in administrating and have a [Mod] tag placed on the end of their name. They are effectively a policing dept and the system works very well, they just play as normal but can take control of the server if needed and kick unruly players. The server list shows if a mod is present in a server so you know you can have a hastle free time in there.

Could such a system be employed here for the demo servers?

yeah, a vote is whats needed to find out if what people are saying is the right thing top do. *rolls eyes*

Nice try Christofire but consider yourself scolded. I didn't expect aggression when I started this, but now I'm chuckling as it feels like I'm in an episode of Faulty towers.

Quote from Christofire :

Oh, and if you'd read my post fully you'd see that I was talking about the lack of voting.

Me too in post #35, for some odd reason any talk of this is met by "we removed the pitlane thing already, go away".

I've moved on and don't care, I'm only posting this for my own amusement.

Ok, you win, I'll go and race somewhere else and not bother your server again. I cannot see your logic at all over not allowing kicking or banning votes when there is no admin about and I can't be arsed to leave the game and go to your website everytime some retard starts wrecking.
Odd how last night was the only time I went in using the o000o name and admin arrived and kicked anyone messing about, but going undercover I never saw admin at all, ever. Maybe I am unlucky.

This afternoon (4-6pm), here are the last four replays:

mpr1 is obvious
mpr2 nicivsvi on his lap 3 takes out the leader
mpr3 nicivsvi all the time
mpr4 nicivsvi is joined by mark in their wrecking spree

Just watch as the good racers join then leave due to your non kick/ban policy and the once good reputation of the crc is trashed.

pfft

Just left the server after many good races, some without admin there, the pitlane thing seems to have been toned down a lot, I only knew it was there when the odd racer got pitlaned.

It was fun, thx for listening.

I'm not having a rant about this, I too want the crc demo server to work, this is why I posted in the first place. The point I am trying to put across is that the pitlane thingy is a pain in the ass. I can handle the wreckers in other servers but the pitlane thing is being exploited and is a beacon to wreckers.

Try going in the server undercover when no admin is on and see what happens.

First lap, made it round the corner, through the chicaine and clear into 2nd place, the 1st place racer is on the left hand grass and rejoins the track and bashes into me, not hard or out of malice.....BINGO!!! I'm in the pits, 1st place racer is still out there, my race is over.

Draughting someone down the straight, they slam on the brakes, I'm in the pits.

First corner, get shunted from behind and hit someone, I'm in the pits.

Lose it anywhere, hit the barrier, I'm in the pits.

Wrecker waiting on the inside of a corner behind the tyres, drives onto the track when I apex, I'm in the pits.

I'm having a week off work and returned to LFS after a break so my driving is very rusty and laptimes are 1:34-35 with the occasional dip into the 1:33s. The crc and ccuk servers have racers with similar laptimes so it makes for some good racing but any door handling into corners causes instant pitlane.

I am a curtious racer and was attracted to the crc server for some civility and I admire your efforts, I am simply trying to let you know that as a user, the pitlane thing causes more problems that it solves and is driving the good but clumsy racers away. Please take into consideration what filur, NotAnIllusion, B2B@300, Bluestream, Christofire and I have said in this thread.

I've just been on and 4 out of 5 races I started I was hit on the first lap and put into the pits.

Nice try but I can guarantee that you will ditch the pitlane mod.

dont wanna be pitlaned, dont hit each other, or try another server

Hmmm, I don't think you are coming across at all well. As the expected users of your server that you put up and are paying for, we are giving you feedback but you don't like what you're hearing. You don't seem to understand that the pitlane mod doesn't know who causes the crash so the wreckers are side swiping on the straight causing a heavy spin into the wall so the mod puts you into the pitlane, a double result for them.
It looks like you are saying "our server is fine, go race on another server", which is what the good drivers are doing leaving the wreckers to rule your server.

It's not my problem, it's the ©®© reputation that's going down the pan, I'd ditch the pitlane mod and use the baseball bat to the head mod instead.

Thx for providing the server but you got to admin it or allow banning, the wrecking mod you have is just useless, in fact the wreckers are having fun with it.

It's the most unruly server in the demo list.

Lol, you guys are funny. Do it yourselves on your own servers.

WOOT!.... Octane, I love you.
