Quote from CrazyICE :

because of the 2 groups and 2 mates restriction in the demo

sorry, I didnt know about this restriction, now its clear

I agree with dEiCidE, contextual menus will be much better than loads of buttons.

EDIT: when you order server list by ply for examle, appl forget this after filter change or refresh. I got error 00549239 / 00000024, afterwards JPEG-Fehler #42 when alt-tab to other appl.

I have problems with importing M@T2 .profile files.
Import was without any error messages, but I cannot see my imported groups and mates, there is still empty Group #1 and #2. But i can see Mates online 0/143 info text and my mates on some server, "occ. with mates" is working.

Language files are generated from db, you must contact GP4Flo or Limiter, submiting corrected txt doesnt solve problem.

My vote for RWD sedan (~300HP) added into LRF class
or ~240HP RWD sedan added into XFR class? Both!

Some Potentially Useful Hardcore Mode Server-Side Options
..

+1
no F9 & F10 except pits
early starts & penalties
dont allow major setup changes between events (quali-race)
no low(hi)-rev diod in stock cars
maybe allow reset car after 10s
etc..

I would be happy with engine damage, "popcorn" was almost removed and heavy crash hasnt influence as well

+1
Optional separate download of HI-RES textures would be great. I'd like all hi-res updates in one .zip - today it's difficult for beginners browse forum and search for separate downloads (if there are any).
Why hi-res sky testures are not available as official hi-res addon when they are used in official screenshots?

(I have many unofficial hi-res updates, some textures are very large and no fps drop - imo very few players have less then 64MB GK, maybe even very few have less then 128MB)

You can make profiles in drivers and each prog can have different settings.
Ive default profile set to "controlled by appl", LFS profile 4x 16x and max. qual profile set to 8xS 16x (Ive viewer for example in this profile).
You can have as many profiles as you want.
EDIT: beaten by AndroidXP

+1
All pitstop times need changes, for example more longer after suspension damage. Defensive driving should pay out more.
But its also important to have option for not repair damage if repairs take longer times.

Quote from CrazyICE :

if u like to test one of the first versions, go on

seems to be working
please give us function for import mates from old version, Ive about 250 mates
"groups" dir no londer used.. all data in "db" folder..

I tried some races with AIs and it says "unknown finisher" if I join spectators imediatelly after finish, but it was with every racer in our AX event, for example 20sec after finish.
Maybe this is related to way how results are calculated, but persisting results from race to race is imo bug.

Possibility to move mates from one group to other would be great, only feature I missed in last version.
The best would be possibility to insert 1 mate to several groups.
(Ive groups like "CZE", "Czech league", "CZ endurance", ..., "others" and some guy could be in 3 groups for example)

We had AX event (autocross / arena / custom layout / 1 lap), server was dedi T, my client was U.
Each player drove 1 "lap" and then spectate, after he joins spectators, "Unknown finisher" message appears - no real problem, results was correct.
Another thing, after race end we started race for round2 and results was still there, we had to change track to wipe off previous results.

Quote from col :

As has already been explained, this would cause a not insignificant problem.
If as S2 server is running an S1 track/car combo, and there were say 10 S2 players and 3 S1 players on it, what happens if all the S2 players decide they want to change to an S2 only combo ?
Do they kick the S1 guys? do they have to stay on a track they are bored with or go and find another server ?

I thought not allow change to S2 combo until some S1 player connected, similar as /tracks command, you have to find another server too if your asked track isnt allowed

Quote from col :

The best solution seems to be to show S1 servers in the S2 list, leaving the decision to the latest time for S2 players - this way there might be a little more competition for any remaining S1 players.

sounds good

Easy solution imho is divide server list to demo/licensed, not demo/s1/s2.
S2 player will see S1+S2 servers in one list, S1 player will see only S1 servers. There will be more players on S1 servers, because S2 player could connect to FE/LX4 race directly, no S1/S2 list changing.
S1/S2 status of server wont be set thru config, but automatically depending what track/cars allowed.

Quote from Vain :

Just like in real life.

You don't understand me. I drive into the pits, go automatically into the pits, set something, OK -> go to car and (without move) I want set something else. IRL, you neednt do lap for this, you neednt go out from garage and back.

Quote from Vain :

I also like the idea of having to actually drive into the pits to go into the pits.
That would allow us to disable shift+s altogether, which would improve quali-sessions alot.

nice idea, but what if I want to go into the pits again? (i forgot set something)

Quote from Misko :

There IS an option to block all messages: SHIFT and '-'.

keys.pdf should be updated..

would be nice to have system messages volume control, deleting or renaming sound files isnt user friendly

Sorry, "cheater" is strong and wrong word, I dont know better - I mean to have advantage to others, coz custom view can be realistic but also very unrealistic..

Password (you mean private server for hardcore mode?) doesnt solve anything, people will be on this server if passworded or not.

I think SKurjz means different thing: show not only GTR servers, but other servers where only GTR cars in race too. This would be great option and I thought about this long time ago, but problem is (in my opinion) checking every server for cars in race take looong time

2Tweaker post #73: amen
My english isnt good enough for describe all my thoughts, but you did it well.

2MyBoss: no, only solution is make driver seat adjustable (only ahead/back + up/down like in real car) in cockpit view. There are 2 problems with custom view:
1, as Tweaker said (good point), you can choose right drive position for better weight balance, but drive (have view) on the left side, its "cheat"
2, custom view isnt affected by heads G forces, you cant hide wheel and body and in addition you loose nice cams for making videos or watching replays (im using custom views for cams like in TV)

btw: I drove with custom view until patch S. Then I decided not to cheat

Huh, there is enough of racers, but are spread because no restrictions! I never join all cars servers coz of total mess there. Actually I dont join any public servers, coz Im fed-up when having great xrg battle and someone joins with fv8 and smash us 1 lap before finish. This means, that if Im on hardcore server, you wont have -1 player on public, coz I dont join public
If you want to do something for more racers online, try set more restrict servers and dont blame hardcore options.
About forced cockpit: in games like nKP you dont have chase and others views for driving and there is no problem.
I suppose that hardcore mode will be set of options, not only hardcore=1, that means, you can set all hardcore options to 1 except forced cockpit, but if someone wants forced cockpit for example for league event, why not?

Quote from MyBoss :

True, but if people set their servers to run with Cockpit mode only, then it means fewer servers for us that wants to play the game in the traditional way.

As I said, today, there is about 300 servers with no restrictions (cars, forced pit etc). Why do you think there wont be servers without forced cockpit? Most admins dont change default confings and hardcore wont be defalt..

"fewer servers for us" its fair: 300 servers for you, none for hardcore racers, coz 280/20 is really problem for you as I see.

@Bob Smith: 100% agreed. Dunno why there is 2x AS Nat and many great tracks missing, no BF1, stupid LX4/Oval combo.. Its not late to change combos, coz it dont wipe hotlaps, only a few HL wont be used for MHR, no problem i think.
