I just have had the misfortune to see 5 players from the same team joining my server and kicking/banning every new player who just had joined. What to do in this situation?

See att. picture. I´ve a replay as well.

Quote from DevilDare :

...... ( important stuff.
Big Thanks to TDRT! Love you guys!
Peace out!

Hey Tomas,
very sorry to hear that. PM sent.

I think this is going to be a great event..
These my first words about the UNITY MIDI LEAGUE.
Gotcha.
Once more it was nice organized and a lot of fun together with you racers.
Let´s have a look at the MAXI League now...

Quote from Scawen :

Please report here what you find out about the GTR class balancing.
Handicaps have now been removed as the cars should be more naturally balanced now.

Changes in GTR class :

FXO GTR is 20 kg lighter
FZR has an H-pattern gerabox so slightly slower gear shifts
FZR engine is also more limited by its redline so earlier gear shifts

This is post 1 of this thread.
Scawen included the FXR ( FXO GTR ). The WIKI posts are obviously outdated or most of us must have misunderstood Scawens very first post.

Quote from dev :

Well you can't exactly feel the suspension damage through your monitor or wheel... but you can hear when the engine iz damaged...

Sure about this?

1280x1024 and no plans to change anything

Have a look for "Asusprob" which should be on the motherboards CD.

Quote from Scawen :

The purpose of this thread is to get the balance right, so hopefully the ballast added after patch Y is minimal.... ....By the way, to others who talk about perfect balancing, that will never happen and it's not the aim. The aim is that some of the cars are better on some tracks and some are better on others. What we don't want is what we had before, FZR the best choice on all tracks regardless of which track you were on.

Since about a week we now have had the chance to have a look at the new Y-balancing. Here are my first impressions:
Looks like the FZR, having lost 80 online kg´s, is still flying all over the tracks followed by the XRR´s which now have become 10kg´s lighter then the FXR´s but use as much fuel as the FXR.
FZR´s still can flatshift over a period of time without getting too much clutch heat.
Tyres:
Sprint races the FZR still is able to do with R2´s, the FXR has to have R3´s in front - racing for more then 2 laps.
I now can agree 100% on PaulC2K´s statements made.
Especially the -30kg XRR contra -20KG FXR but still having the same gearbox doesn´t make any sense to me as the XRR already was the overall faster car of these two cars.
In my oppinion the GTR´s need to get re-balanced for sprint- and short distance races (that´s what we do online racing on public servers day for day) and for endurance races the organizers could balance these cars if they really think it´s necessary and needed.


Sidenote:
I sometimes get minor engine damage at what I call normal downshifting using autoclutch in the FXR. Some people call it an improvement not to be able to repair engine damage.This matter for sure doesn´t make the FXR my first choice for longer races - but that´s a different story...

"Engine damage can not be fixed on a pitstop. This probably the single most biggest improvement from Y patch.
FXR - totaled
XRR - totaled
FZR - ~none "

What´s your personal oppinion about the new GTR balance so far?

Something is missing here..

Guess and make it look a little nicer please. Thank you.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too.

Quote from Humbleridderen :

It´s ok (I hope you also want it yourself )

Actually he doesn´t but it´s me with the gun in the hands here...

Send us a hotlap replay then pls..

Send us your car setup pls.

Quote from Scawen :

Do you know how this happened? Because normally the pit stop works correctly.

I just want to know how they can get into that sutuation where they are driving around and it still says "refuelling" over their car.

Looks to me like it happens whenever bots are pushed out of their pitboxes before having finished their repairs/refuelling. In this case it´s the AI16.

Worth a look the bot "Torben Jensen" as well a) his pitstop and especially b) as he has entered the pits for his 30 sec. penalty and then all of sudden stops his car.

Finally, the stats rapport "GCBlip" on bots.

Here the replay of it and its statistics:

Quote from Motordirex :

If a demo user has been using LFS for more then X number of days or X number of hours without buying a license, Id cut them off. As someone has said before, it cost money to keep them going on servers

This matter has been discussed so many times now. Why don´t you leave it to the developers judge and to the fact that the developers of this game are probably pretty much aware of what they are doing and what´s going on towards their demo version of this game.
I myself was a demo player for almost 1 year as I realized I just had to move on towards S2 and for your info: At this time I was able to take some more players with me into the S2 world.

Other 1-hours-demo-versions I already have forgotten about...

Time: Monday, 7.00 PM UTC/GMT ( 20.00 Danish Local Time )

LFS Version Testpatch X31

Races 1, 2 and 3:

Track/Car A: BL2@XFG
Track/Car B: SO1@RAC/FZ5/LX6
Track/Car C: AS3@GTR

Start order: Random
Distance: 10 laps with pitstop required.

@Testpatch X32
@cancelled as no racers applied for the races

Quote from Dark Elite :

... Over a longer race (in X10), the FZR seems to be used very little...

Disagree. Have a look once more. IGTC, LeMansLeague, MoE, 24h race. just to name some of the endu leagues. At least 30% of the cars where FZR´s.

Very impressive! One can see that you spend a lot of hours on it.

I don't understand why people gun for multi-class races. Doesn't that just mean you'll be racing against less opponents? If you're going to fill a server, wouldn't it be better to have all the drivers capable of competing with eachother?

I agree and would rather see a full grid of 1 class only. But despites outcome:

We would be interested as well.

Probably a component resonaltes. So it´s a mechanical, no electric mistake. If I´m right you could fix it by yourself if you have a little technical knowledge and some plasticspray. I will not advise you to open your monitor as it´s able to keep some very high voltages for a long time.
Just Google for "a very annoying high pitched squeal" and you´ll find out what I mean.
You should also try to change the supported refresh rate of your monitor and see if this helps.

Quote from chanoman315 :

cuz its hot air?

Mexcio, hehe. Visit Denmark some day..

"Getting air out of your computer is just as important as bringing air in. Fans need to be balanced for proper air exchange. Fans can easily be balanced by using the same number of intake and exhaust fans.......if you can't match the CFM rating ( how much air a ventilator is able to "push") install the higher-rated fan as the inlet."

Mayby some of the posters actually don´t know the benefits a digital indication can have for some of us.

I didn´t like the headline of this thread from the beginning as it´s IMO a kind of positioning the others mayby different oppionions then the OP´s. Of course the devs. want to have some feedback.

Pls. read this example:

A very fast guy (not me) racing BL1 in his XFG does 1st splits between 31.1 to 31.3 secs./2nd splits of 1.05.6 - 1.05.8 mins. and laptimes between 1.33.1 - 1.33.5 mins.
He can repeat this for 20 laps if he´s motivated enough.

He knows whenever he crosses the start/finish with (fictive numbers now):
a) 142 Km/h
it could get a very fast lap and he will focus a little more then he normally would do. His next braking point, he knows, is at
b) 143km/h
at T1.
He knows his following braking point as well after the long straight.It´s at:
c) 167 km/h
He now tries to get the apex chikane with:
d) 142 km/h
and after 1 more turn he tries entries the turn up the hill with:
e) 116km/h
Whenever he is just 1-2km/h off his speed he realizes he has to compensate for it at a later stage of his lap.
That´s not racing you might respond, it´s hotlapping.
So what. There still will be the hottlapping feature as far as I know of.Or take my example as a qualifying lap for a race to come.
I have understanding for the guys wanting the digital speedometer back again, I mean, who plays LFS and wants to get slower? It´s the other way arround.
There might as well be something psychological (the change/the missing driving aid) involved in "this whining".

If this would be real racing and this fast guy would come to me (fx. teamowner) and complain about a missing digital speedometer I´d stick him 10 bucks and send him to a car accessoires & parts dealer and my mechanics would put this for him so important add-on in his racing car or gocart or whatever he races with...what´s the big deal?

Happy racing all of you.

Just tried a few laps and my laptimes are 4 secs. off as well. I think it´s because of the changed track layout.
