this is general racing talk...go away its our thread

also, the iracing forums are very...basic, and ugly

Seriously. If you want to build the iRacing community then it's best done there, not here.

Errr...

C'mon guys. These posts are no longer informative for the LFS community. They belong on the iRacing forums.

Quote from Technique :

... What could work though, is getting rid of the disorganized improvement forum and creating a separate website/bug tracking system ...

Amen to that.

A British driver has just won the British GP. Not by luck. Simply by being the best on the day. That, for me, is something to really celebrate.

Good thing you're not, because you'd FAIL!!

Still no 64bit version

Not another 23 stone lorry driver from Warrington?

Steady guys. You're only making it hard on yourself

Quote from XsX! :

Hi guys, i've followed the discussion, i'm really interested in trying and eventually buying and partecipating in that sim.
So a obvious question.
I'm searching for spare invites..
Does anyone still have one?
it would be really really appreciated
thanks.

My understanding is that the intial round of invites has now closed and that you need to register on the iRacing website to have a chance of being in the next round.

Hehe. First post weeeeeeee . fantastic patch. brilliant. excellent. superb. can't wait to try it. i wub u devs.

Inspirational stuff

All well and good having lots of new license holders due to the expanded language support but what I find unacceptable is that they will all at some stage be victim to the 'Look Ma. I can fly' collision bug which has been with LFS for as long as I can remember. This bug 'breaks' races. Poor interiors don't.

OK. Understood. Thanks.

When you release the new host later can you confirm if a simple exe replacement will be OK?

Cheers.

WOW! That was so great hearing about your downloading experience.

If you want to post crap then do it in the iRacing forum. If you want to let the LFS community know your thoughts on how iRacing compares to LFS then, please, enlighten us.

OK. Now all you Johnny Foreigners stop knocking Lewis Hamilton.

We loyal British Subjects (Gawd bless you Ma'am) have a constitutional right [1] and a moral duty to make sure that any British sportsman or sportswoman who demonstrates anything approaching a natural ability to succeed at international level is placed upon a pedastal.

We use two types of pedestal:

• A low pedestal making it easier to knock the upstart off.
  
• An unstable high pedestal designed such that the upstart will more then likely fall off of his/her own accord.
  

This system has served us well over the years and we do not need the assistance of other nations in preparing our fine honed failures.

Thank you.

[1] The Scots have a special clause allowing them to be particularly vitriolic should the upstart be English.

Quote from Mustafur :

Alonso was in the same postion last year(well he started 10th which is the best hatemelol can possiblely get.

Errr ... if Hamilton is quickest doesn't he start in 11th place?

Why there isn't a sticky'ed 'How to report a Bug' thread beats me or, even better, an official list of 'known' bugs.

Until such time as either of those appear then repeated bug reports are inevitable.

Quote from Dygear :

... In essence, the program your requesting is a MetaMod: Source.

Indeed.

We have run CounterStrike servers for years and have lots of experience using both AdminMod and then SourceMod. For the uninitiated - they allow server admins to select functionality provided by a range of homemade 'plugins'.

As an aside ... Much of the simple server-side functionality could be provided by LFS's own scripting engine if it was developed further to include things like timers, buttons etc.

Can I make a suggestion?

I've been really impressed by the response of the programmers here to requests by the general community for applications to provide this or that functionality. I myself was fortunate to have Dougie-Lampkin respond to my request for an InSim app so I know the system works - up to a point. Because when we tried to use our new app with an existing app made by someone else there was a conflict involving button IDs that resulted in us being able to only run one or the other. The fact is (I'm wearing my server host's hat here) that there are lots of little admin type aids out there that would make the life of my admins easier but there will always be the possibilty of them conflicting in various ways.

It occurred to me that there could be a modular framework that all the community programmers could adhere to when producing apps for us server bods. Functionality would be produced as a module that would be turned on/off via a common config file that would also control the sub-functions within the module. This would allow server admins to cherry pick the functionality we require for our server/s.

Would this be possible to achieve?

Quote from Dru :

which one where you then m8?

Yes - tihs concept is a great one - as long as you don't get sand baggers

We run a small doohickey that pairs up drivers by PB.

Quote from keiran :

I had to laugh when Louise talked to him and Lewis said, "I don't know what happened..."

More and more it's looking like Hamilton hasn't got the head to be a champion.

Wouldn't mind betting that he was told not to publicly admit to fouling up in case it influenced the penalty.

Actually, I thought he looked uncomfortable giving that interview. As if he was trying to be someone he's not.

Added the details of our weekly 'Team Racing' event to the 1st post.

I'm gonna miss those 'WTF!ZOMG! When's the LFS Database gonna be back!!!!!!' posts.

Welcome back guys and thanks for sticking with it.
