When will the balancing be announced?

It's in the name, it's Open. You can use any (GT1 or GT2) car in any round, switching between every round if you want.

First USA Grand Slam in RTFR! I'm glad I went back out to get pole off Riddick! Too bad more didn't race though.

It was quite a fun race, trying to keep up with Botsi, but unsurprisingly he was just too fast for the rest of us.

Ooh that looks like a nice fun combo

Quote from MandulAA :

Great race!
It would be great if someone sent me a replay of the race I forgot to save it... Thanks.

Here it is, even with post-race... banter

Quote from Jatimc :

Why add this?? because you can get any setup you want with Lfs setup ex-tracktor

I guess no one else wants to answer.

The reason is because setupgrid/setupfield have been really really helpful sites for LFS for years, but now one is gone and one isn't getting updated with new tracks.

Obviously some people can rip hotlap sets, but not everyone can, and there's no reliable way to get race sets for combos you haven't driven, even with the mpr extractor. That only works if you have an mpr to start with, while there's gonna be hotlaps for every combo.

There's also the obvious reason, just because something can be done that way doesn't mean Victor can't provide a legitimate way to share setups. Some people don't have the ability to rip sets, some people don't want to, so this is clearly the best way to do it.


I hope you were drunk when you posted that, because it's a really stupid question if I'm honest.

Quote from Flotch :

Just found this thread : wow Victor, nice idea and project
I will give a look when at home

edit : did a global rockingham hotlaps setup upload, and I see that for FXR RO7, RO10 and RO11 are not appearing on the "Car Setup" Menu under FXR.

Did you use the exact same set for multiple configurations?

I think he's thinking of the 3D view when you click on a car here:

https://www.lfs.net/cars

And can select your own skins to see on them.

Very cool. What checks are used to determine class?

Also a few suggestions that may have been overlooked:

The ability to mark sets with more than one classification. For example many UF1/XFG/XRG sets can be used for qual/sprint/endurance without any changes.

Daniel said that if a set is named "XFG_BL1_Nilex.set" or "XFG_BL1 Nilex.set" it should be marked as a BL1 set automatically. I think that's a pretty good idea.

But if a set is called XFG_BL1Race.set it shouldn't set as BL1R (or BL1) because it's slightly ambiguous even though it's obviously a BL1 Race set, not a BL1R ace set

Why not have four options?

All setups
My Team's setups
Private
My setups (which would be anything I've uploaded with any classification)

I imagine if you do /cansiren username 0 it will turn it off.

I just noticed that downforce isn't displayed on the setup pages.

Is it intentional that anyone can modify setup info?

I was looking at the setups that k_badam uploaded, and saw that he didn't set them to be BL1R sets.

I took the setup number from this url:
https://www.lfs.net/files/setups/2686/FXR-BL1R-endu

and went to this url:
https://www.lfs.net/account/setups/2686

and was able to modify the track to BL1R, even though it's not my set, and its not even in my collection.


Edit: I even set it to Private, and it doesn't show up on the grid anymore at all. You can still access it with the /account/ link though.

Quote from Victor :

oh right, wrong green there. Fixed that. (my test hotlaps are all red .. ahem)

That's what KY1 is for

Looks much better now.

Also, I think it would be better to have the delta to benchmark and the delta to the WR instead of the delta and percentage to benchmark.

The percentage isn't actually all that useful when comparing to the benchmark. It's really only useful to WR, but having the delta to both is probably the best way.

He's right, it looks like this for me:



Dark text on a dark background isn't that readable.

The "Add to collection" seems to cause some issues. What is its intended purpose?

Whenever you add your collection, it sets them as public and then reposts the same setup under the name of whoever added it to their collection. Shown here:


https://www.lfs.net/files/setups/UF1/BL00

mbutcher added my UF1/BL1 set to his collection, and now it's shown as public and also on the "Latest Car Setups" list, even though he didn't upload it. If you click on the hotlap time on the line with his name, it links to my hotlap. Also shown in this image is the two XRR/KY2R sets of mbutcher that I added to my collection. It says I just uploaded them.


https://www.lfs.net/files/

Also the two duplicated XRR sets have different ratings even though they're the same setup, just one uploaded and one added to my collection.

When importing hotlap sets, they should be given the hotlap class.

I imported 121 sets, I don't want to have to go through each of them to set them to the "Hotlap/Qualify" Classification.

The old setup names seem to have confused the file attachment setup grabber.

For example there are plenty of unknown setups named "FXO_GTR" or "FZ5_GTR" listed under FXO or FZ5 instead of FXR and FZR.

Works now, except my displayed number of setups doesn't match up with how many hotlaps I imported.

"Out of 124 hotlaps, 0 setups have been extracted."

No Filter: "Displaying 121 setups. Drag your setups here to upload them."

The following sets get skipped because it says they're already imported, but they don't show up in the list.

AS grand prix / XRG
AS grand trng / XRG
AS national / XRG

I suppose it's possible I used the same set for a few XRG Aston combos, but if that's why those weren't uploaded it would be nice to get something indicating that.


Also I'd like to request that the table of setups per car be sorted alphabetically. It's a bit of a mess as it is now.

That's a pretty cool feature, but some of mine didn't work (109 out of 124 worked).

The error received is:

SPR Error : SPR does not exist. The full absolute path + filename is epxected.

These are the hotlaps of mine that didn't work:

SO sprint2 / FOX
SO sprint2 / FBM
SO sprint2 / RB4
SO sprint2 / XRG
SO sprint2 rev / FOX
SO sprint1 / FOX
SO sprint1 / FBM
SO sprint1 / XRG
AS national / XRG
AS grand prix / FO8
AS grand prix / XRR
AS grand prix / FOX
AS grand prix / FBM
AS grand prix / XRG
AS grand trng / XRG

Those are all of my SO2/SO3(R) hotlaps, and all of my AS5 hotlaps, but I have other AS3/AS6 hotlaps that did work, so I'm not sure whats going on.

Quote from RC-Maus :

you mean cntrl f5 but thanx it works

Haha, yes sorry. Glad you figured out what I meant.

Quote from RC-Maus :

Dunno where too put this but live host progress isn't working anymore.

few days now

Try a force refresh (Shift+F5), I had to do that after Victor fixed it.
