:bowdown:

hmmmm


Seems i'll have to rent GTR2 and give the mod a try...

Lets see....

Maybe now you found the time?

I do have GTL, and i was preeeeetty with it...

Just the idea of it beeing close to the LFS feeling, as they're saying it does, makes my day


But there's no way i'm going to buy GTR2 just hoping it will be like that... so, anybody from HERE tried it yet?

An M3 skin for XFR - for a hatchback????

You can always practice your setups on an older version...

Quote from Dark Elite :

I think there is a point to be made there - mid-race joiners stand to gain nothing by finishing, and so have a tendancy to drive that little bit more recklessly. I like the bit of code that means you're not classed as a mid-race finisher until the second lap, so if you get annihilated in the first corner you're still in with a chance - but perhaps joining the race after the first lap should not be allowed. I mean, it's not a long race to sit through, is it?

What're the opinions on this?

Sam

well... theoretically speaking, it's done for practice. I know for a fact that if i didn't midrace join some of the layouts, i'd never actually get to understand were i'm supposed to go.

Thing is, not everyone is carefull when mid-race joining, some are aggresive, taking out racers, but the truth of the matter is that some times this may happen unintentionally - cause they simply dont know that going out of the pits they get in the middle of the racing line...

Quote from auto emocion :

Yes, i use auto clutch.

Is using manual clutch faster?

faster? nope

More difficult? Yes

Does it multiply the immersion factor by 100%? yeap...

Quote from Becky Rose :

As a trial, and to alleviate congestion on the opening server, I am allowing XFG+XRG for bronze licenced racers and above on server 2 - to run multi-class with the TBO.

This may be tweeked to silver and above racers, or may be scrapped altogether. It is a trial.

Love the idea!

I'll give it a try when i get back from work
Hopefully this will give me more time to practice and get faster, instead of lifting off in half the track so as not to crash into someone

Quote from SamH :

Userbars are headed this way. I'm trying to do it in a way that doesn't break anything that we have too significantly.

The options will be:

[ctra]ss/mini/User+Name[/ctra]
[ctra]ss/User+Name[/ctra]
[ctra]ctra/mini/User+Name[/ctra]
[ctra]ctra/User+Name[/ctra]
[ctra]bnj/mini/User+Name[/ctra]
[ctra]bnj/User+Name[/ctra]

You'll be able to use either + or space, (or %20) where there is a space in your name, but if you've previously included an underscore in your name in place of a space, you'll need to replace it with your actual LFS username.

I'll be doing a full write-up on the raceauthority.com website once ready. I'm very much on a crush to tie up the loose ends before I head to the continent tomorrow. This is one that I want to get sorted by the time I leave.

Any change on the links that we use for other sites?
up to now it's [ img]http://stccu.ukct.net/User+Name.gif[ /img] for the big bar. What about the rest?

EDIT: http://ctrau.ukct.net/mini/pig.gif also works, so the /mini and the correct url are no longer a mystery to me
what about the BnJ tag?

Looking around at the (great) CTRA site, i noticed 2 things:

1st, All the servers seem to be on 0.5X2. Dont know why, but i expected them to be on X10
2nd, I CANT WAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT....

arghhhhh... and i just KNOW that there will be so many people online on my free time that i wont even be able to spectate

I am driving IRL for 17 years now.
I am faster on the wheels view, but i only drive LFS in cockpit view. Always takes some time getting used to, but for MY eyes it's worth it. The reason is simply the immersion factor - i'm also faster with the paddles, but drive only with the H shifter, and have all help features like automatic clutch always off.

Why? Cause of the immersion factor. That's how i get the best experience out of the game, and i really don't care if i'm slower or not.

And i really think that people do participate in online races for the experience, no matter what view they use. So i'll just back the suggestion that (oups dont remember the name and really dont remember in which of the 100 threads about FCV it was) had, for server admins to have the option to Force whichever view they prefer. That beeing cockpit, chace, wheel or whatever

Bawbag's setup!

miam miam... time to go and practice

Maybe with this i'll be in the top 200

Quote from qoncept :

Not sure who can do anything about it, but I registered last night and haven't gotten my confirmation email yet..

Check your spam folder - that's were the answer from UKCT went on my gmail..

Now i just feel jealous


Could someone up this on rapidshare? Megaupload simply doesnt want to work if you live in Greece...

PLS?

This is what i call a fast reply - and fix!

It seems that (both ) the Greek representatives to the forum somehow managed to miss it...

AMAZING video... thanks for the laughs!



[Edit] And i just realised that not only we both missed it, but we were born in the same day (allthough with a slight 14 year distance from each other)... weird world...

Unfortunately it says that i have 0 invites left :-(

And i hoped i could return bbmans favor to more fellow LFS'rs

Well, you can't really advance two arts (cause i consider modelling an art) on the same time, and with the same results (although art and results are terms that contradict each other a bit).
Your modelling is light years ahead from the level it was one and a half year ago... and you should focus there, instead of feeling that your render skills are not on the same level... yet

THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS bbman!

Not only you're improving tremendously, but you're way faster than before...


Any chance to see the new lightning effects on the 612?

Quote from TV[cz] :

My last invite went to you, enjoy

Lost the chance for 25 mins

Just my luck i guess

Hope you enjoy it Miata!!!

Arghhhhhhhhhhhh

And i thought no-one had invites left....

I even felt sorry for the ones that asked for invites...

But i guess the joke's on me now

If anyone has any invites and is willing to share.....
catman_gatt at hotmail com

thanks in advance

Quote from SamH :

Absolutely that's what it's for.. feel free to insert your graphic in any signatures or pages you want, anywhere

Thanks Sam!

YESSSSSSSsssssss


Er, Sam...

Is it ok if we use it on other forums too, and not only to our sites (especially if we dont have any?)

It is something that might attract other people to STCC, but on the other hand it will take up some bandwith (allthough a little, since the bar is small).
I just feel i have to ask

Quote from niffer022 :

im fine, but i have noticed a hell of alot off people timing out on my server, they sign back in 5 mins later there timed out again, it happen quite alot yest and so far its happened 6 times today....


like i say im fine...

It's happening a lot during the last 3-4 days, and i thought it was just my ISP playing up. Last night though i connected to a demo server with a friend to try out his new G25 with some online racing (and get him to buy LFS too), but i was lagging... and he was not, even though we have the same ISP and live quite close























But probably it was my ISP
