Quote from Jettascuba :

Sounds so much better already
As a note - that certain driver that caused all the crashes wouldn't have raced if quali was solo, as he just had a lucky quali -

That explains it, I was amazed to see him in top 40% of grid. IMO he should have been banned/kicked during race, but then again its difficult to take such decisions without replay.
Also this was his first ever Oval race in his career, all cars put together

Quote from Jettascuba :

2) Don't block inside lane

Yes I was astounded to see our hero blocking inside lane even for blue flag. In Oval racing we have to follow what John Nash said in terms of doing what is best for oneself and the community. We can draft and progress together instead of blocking inside lane.

Silver you rock!

I just saw the replay. Wth? I think the whole event might have been even decent if that one person was avoided. 90% crashes by him Kept pitting and restarting. And I think shift+p was not disabled after lap 5. So this person was continuing his wreck-rampage inspite of being 30 laps behind leader.

Today quali was a mayhem. With the new quali rule and hopefully no intentional crashers, I have hope for a good fun series ahead

Daniel is right about the need to take into the account the tire-wear. But there are more factors:

1) A worn out tire due to its lessened radius, will have lesser mass and more importantly lesser moment of inertia. So it is easier to rotate that wheel with the same torque. This I am sure has implication on acceleration. Hence the reduction in linear velocity due to diameter decrease and increase in angular velocity(RPMs of the tire) due to lessened mass and lessened moment of inertia may try to cancel each other

2) Theoretically this lessened mass and lessened moment of inertia of the wheel should improve top speed too I believe, hence trying to cancel out the reduction in speed due to lessened diameter. But I am not sure about this second point.

But Daniels numbers may not be accurate because:
1) The F9 may be just an approximation, you should count pixels etc, as someone said above.
2) There may be other variables apart from the radius change alone, like the 2 I stated above (and many more that I/we don't know)

------

Quote from Ezpz :

Even if the diameter is smaller, the tyres will have less surface touching the ground,

Regarding this, due to tire-wear, and due to thinning of tire, I think there will be more deformation to compensate this, hence making the contact area constant, and hence rolling resistance may not change I feel.
------

Overall, I think there are many factors apart from tire radius. Also we need to think whether the typical tire-wear in a race decreased radius large enough to have significant changes. (I can't take that F9 data on face value)

It could also be possible that the net effect of all these was too little and they did not implement it hence.

But if it really decreases speed and if it is implemented then that is another reason for better tire maintenance during race

anyways 2 seems good. And is it gonna be like, when one starts hotlap another racer is called from pits in a sequential manner etc? or is it free for all?

You had S2 license? where is it now?

Well not surprised, as this is first time and you had your glitches. After some first 5-6 laps of mayhem race settled into a tranquil mode with only 15 people left. Actually I expected much worse. It went better than I expected. One good thing about FO8 is you cant floor it at the start, so I think so the field naturally panned out.

woah! 3 years bump eh?, well IMO there are no auto-only cars in LFS now. So if LFS introduces an auto-only car like the McLaren SLR, then this feature must be implemented I guess.

BF1 will rook at AS5 too. And KY3

Quote from eddy678 :

yes for safety usage too :d

lol

Ok I liked the combo, Franky didn't I guess. Unlucky dude, you had 3 accidents/spins in second race I guess, and rage quit

I hope this requirement is for safety car usage? (not the BF1 lol)

Ah the orange flashes, cool!

lol ya and risky to emulate it too. Imagine driving RAC and it showing racline for UFB lol

Thank you Thilo. This combo was fun

IND and SL ftw! Man Silver made a captioned gif to explain some steps, wow

Ah ok, so as I suspected ABS is better and more sophisticated/accurate than the BH, thanks

Oh ok, thanks

Nice diplomatic re-edit there Cornys :P

Actually admin should be able to set the speed and direction.
Also players should be able to see that in say F12

Is it? Now it is all the more tricky. But in this case, I am wondering two things

1. Why the racing line was identical to FXR when I changed to XRR, but
2. Why the racing line changed drastically when I changed back to FXR

The change is so extreme that it is more than set changes

Quote from Cornys :

80 km/h.

So basically the for the cars to be subjected to SC order compliance. They should satisfy two conditions
1. Outside pitlane
2. Speed ~80 kph

Anytime the value of Outside pitlane AND Speed ~80 kph changes for any car, the reference list needs to be reset again.

One more condition is when the free pass car overtakes everyone

Well it was a server. I am not sure if there was wind. How do I retrieve current wind status? All this happened in the same race. Interesting,

That is better IMO

Quote from MadCatX :

When more than one racers pit, their order at the back of the field depends on the order in which they entered pit lane.

Interesting. I am wondering what the rule is for people overtaking in pits. Like if some guy enters first but has a huge repair. But another enters behind him but only has a some 4 sec worth of fuel. So should the guy who entered in front allowed to regain his poistion in front of the guy who entered behind but had only a small pitstop
