+1.
I hope it´s not a too difficult an improvement to get.

..though it was technically in breach of the rules...

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

The rules allow for the admins to make judgment calls in such situations, and that's what we did.

For me you´re not very clear here. Good if you would mind to explain it a bit better to us.

And allow me to give you a picture of the TDRT camps atmosphere:

Very frustated.

Here:

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=42456

you gave both TDRT cars a very hard -10 points penalty but explained yourself in red letters.
Your admin stuff didn´t feel the urge to change the rules at this time.

This round you just change an existing rule during the race once more punishing team TDRT.

I hope you understand our (TDRT) personal feelings about it a bit better now.

Quote from srdsprinter :

I do believe you. I believe you to be an honest And impartial person. That said, actions speak louder than words, and I'm of the belief that it behooves the IGTC staff to try and remove themselves from judgement calls whenever possible.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Pearcy's reasoning is why we chose to do what we did there. We were sort of caught between a rock and a hard place with that one--the entire field was caught up with 1 sector to go with the exception of one car. Our choices were to let everyone's already cold tires cool for another entire lap of Historic and cause further problems on the restart, or let them go. I was uncomfortable with altering the rule on the fly (as I always am) but the situation seemed pressing.

Lucky for TDRT that the second SC period came out, I guess.

The rule alteration will be made explicit in advance of the next round.

So you´re saying that in your oppinion the field wasn´t able to do another SC lap? Why not just say that you made a mistake.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

Don't forget how long Aston Hist. is compared to other tracks like FE Gold, 2 laps behind the safety car there may create havoc with people trying to keep their tyres warm and also after the restart on very cold tyres, it was in everyones best intrests IMO to only have 1 lap behind the SC if there is no longer danger to the drivers, pointless driving another lap.

Can´t catch the sarcasm or irony in your statement.

IGTC rule:
http://www.lfsigtc.net/rules/rules.html#k

1.1) The SC will remain on track for a minimum of 2 laps.

The SC drove 1 lap only during the first SC period leaving our #4 car 1 minute behind the rest of the field.

Looks very nice. A lot of work put into that.
But the FXR´s should have been the towers IMO. Good the MRT's as the pawns with no reverse gear.

Quote from BullHorn :

Yesterday 02:43...Every few seconds (Ranges from 10 easily to 100, feels random) my FPS jumps to 0 for less than a second..

Today 20:33...The game runs at 85fps stable because that's what my screen's refresh rate locks it at, due to using vertical synchronization.

Sorry, this doesn´t make sense for me.

"...it happens when I view replays..."

I´ve almost the same specifications here.

Running a full grid replay and checking my work load (CTR-ALT-DEL):

Lfs.exe takes 210mb and I´ve a total of 700mb used.

The CPU work load is at about 10-20 % watching this full grid replay.

a) What´s your CPU work load watching a replay?

b) tell a little about your harddrive and your actual graphics driver and AA/AF settings as well.

Wish you more good races, team and drivers.

rcpilot once sayed :"Just show a bit mutual respect, often times you end up hurting yourself more attempting to run side by side with traffic you shouldn't be racing."

So true.

I accept the admin decision(-s). EOD.

TDRT TheDanishRacingTeam.

Good race for TDRT´s FXR´s.

Car no#4 had two very good drivers and what at the very beginning looked like a disaster was turned into another great podium finish.
Well done guys. Proud of you.

Car no#29 unfort. was taken out at a SC restart. Then another accident with a blue flagged driver and for the last hour engine damage couldn´t make it a toprunner this round. Finishing 9th is still a good result.

See you all next round.

@ Looking at " The Moose " right on top of my post I wanna thank his green FZR and there was another one ( need to see the replay again ) for letting me pass so easily. Not just once but a lot of times starting our lap 88. Thanks a lot.

Quote from srdsprinter :

It was 43 for me i believe, 44 for him. Out of the chicane I kept my right side on the white line, never moving as he drafted by.

Before he completed the pass he decided to chop me unfortunately.

On the straightaway, never changing line, the whole rest of the track available. Unfortunate impatience really.

No, I just met the wrong guy at the wrong place of a race track.

Happens start of my lap 54, your 53. Looks like lag did it job as well as a minor contact had me blown into the walls. I might be mistaken, but allow me a comment to your driver: I´ve overtaken a lot of blue flagged FZR´s. And even with my engine damage racing they all backed-off and were very cooperating and wouldn´t put me in any danger. Tell me this driver wasn´t about to repass me and I rest my case.

To the admins. At least a decision " racing accident " would have been acceptable. Giving us a SG for it is, once more, is a hard decision against TDRT. And please have a look at the other posted " race incident at SC race restart ( replay ).

MprEdit cuts lap 53/54 it wrong here. So admins please have another look at it some time.

TDRT car #29

Here´s the second replay... :-/

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

#29 followed #05 when the #05 inadvertently jumped the restart, and thus surprised the #11 who was attempting to pass/avoid the #13 and clipped the #29's right rear.Racing incident, no penalty.....

#29 TDRT very avoidable contact while lapping #02; SG penalty.

Now really, give me a break.
I can´t see that the car in front of me jumpstarted. Give me a penalty for this I only see the yellow flag ( like usually ) . Gi´me a penalty for this.

But really , c´mon now. My jumpstart doesn´t give team 11 the right to all of sudden change the racing line, clipping me. If he had looked in the mirrors, he should/would and coulnd have seen me and instead of taking me out we needed to back up there. Sorry Palma, like you a lot, but this wasn´t a clever move, agreed ? See the replay.

Next one.

If I read the rules:

3) Lapped drivers must not defend against overtaking maneuvers presented by lapping cars.

That´s exactely what he did. He had a blue flag since the lap before and in this case he was about to re-pass me. At no time he backed off. At no time he eased his throttle. See the replay once more.He caused me spin. To give us additionally to our crash because of a backmarker a DT for it - a very impulsive reaction by the admins. That´s the way I see it. Here you go.

And yes, I´m pissed off about your decisions. And yes, I´m in the head of a race.

Replay attached as well.

Driver car change update.

That´s sad to hear. Good luck to all of you.

It´s not about being a pro, Austin31287. There will always be some faster guy just arround the corner. It´s more about finding the right races and leagues. PM sent. Thanks Dru.

Thank you, Benji.

Quote from AndroidXP :

Sorry but how should this make the FXR faster? It's just a script update, nothing on the car has changed.

I just wanted to place an approach. Took this opportunity and this was my best shot.

"FIX : Updated car load scripts FXR.lfs and XRR.lfs (now sequential)"

I hope it will make the popular FXR a bit faster. 15 out of 22 racers race the FXR at the famous CD1 server right now - and they´d applaud you big times if you got this car within a reach of the other two GTR´s.

Sorry for being off-topic and you just ignore it. But I just hope you get my point here.

Honestly, I love your game and it´s good to see you always work on improvements.
