Quote from Whiskey :

That sounds a lot like your computer is messing up a socket.
Did you try to switch between UDP and TCP packets in LFS? That should work even without leaving the server.

Can confirm after testing stuff out once it happened again, it is a strange sort of packet loss indeed. Eventhough it is on my locally hosted server, swapping from UDP to TCP packets solved the issue. Swapping back to UDP instantly caused it again.

A very, VERY anoying bug that occurs often to me. (sadly I didn't record it or have anymore helpfull stuff but:

Often after I've been afk for a while in a multiplayer server, with it usually minimized. And come back when other cars are there, the other cars don't "load". They are completally invisible to me, yet if I would drive on track. (problem persists after race restarts) they will see and be able to collide with me, yet I would drive like a lonely car on track.

Cars hitting me in this moment on their screen, get shot away. Yet I notice nothing and seem to drive in ghost town.

So:
- After idling for a while
- Usually with LFS minimized
- Other cars become invisible
- Other drivers can see my car

Edit:
What usually fixed it for me was reconnecting, not nessecary to restart the entire game.

Quote from Eclipsed :

Well,if you would start half an hour later,some hardcore racing enthusiasts could make both events,but I guess we'll have to live with it...

21:00 ? Sure thing! I'll adjust it right away

For those not regulary checking the league section:
https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/93748-TRR--Championship-2020-%28with-money-prize-pool-for-individuals-AND-teams%29

Introducing the TRR. Championship 2020!

With a prize-pool of 250€ (so far)!!!

This championship does not just aim on individual drivers, but highly recommends shaping teams for the team championship as well!

Our championship will be run (nearly) every tuesday evening, starting around 21:00 Dutch/German Timezone with a qualification followed by 2 sprint races.

Everyone is welcome to join, but clean and gentleman driving skills are a must. Possible disqualifications or exclusions from events or the entire championship may be given to any driver or an entire team, if the stewards and/or admin team find that the right solution. Penalties/disqualifications/etc. can NOT be protested once handed out! A proper rule-book will follow soon!

1 Rule however, for the Team Championship:
The best 5-team-driver results per race count towards the Team Championship. If any team has more drivers in the race(s) the other drivers their results will be ignored for that specific race for the Team Championship, but will still count towards the Drivers Championship.

--------------------------------------------------------
The prize-pool, for now, is divided into this (subject to change):
Drivers Champion = 100€
2nd in Drivers Championship = 50€
3rd in Driver Championship 25€
--------------------------------------------------------
Team Champion = 75€ to the team organisation
--------------------------------------------------------



--------------------------------------------------------

Quote from Eclipsed :

Why tuesdays?

Oh bugger, I remember now you always host on tuesdays.... Well why tuesdays: been doing that for the entirety of 2019, but then in a private in-team series...


Edit: As well as that I can't on any other day mainly.

Quote from cargame.nl :

I summarized your "they vs you" ranting. You obviously show that you have zero understanding about what that link was about. I gave a slight hint in the quote edit. There is no teamracing on anymore, it's all about individualism so it's very wrong to talk about "they" because there is no they.. Just a bunch of unorganized "you's". And thats exactly whats going on in today's society. Facebook, Twitter, Insta, all that other crap.. Just a big bunch of "you's".

All these type of threads look back at a "we"-history and that is what is correct, it's history. Enjoy the bunch of you's.

Whilst I agree with most you say, I personally am trying to create another we [team] situation. With older and newer names with my Team Rock Racing being already back up to 10 active drivers.

And I'm also planning to open/host another league racing series that will last the entirety of 2020, every tuesday evening 20:30 Dutch timezone.

That will have a mixture of car/track combinations, so that everyone has a fair chance and that it's not 1 spec dedicated. So it's for everyone/we/us/they.

I want to bring back the fun of driving [together] in Live for Speed for a championship goal, not just [me] driver's title, also team title to stimulate lone wolves shaping new teams together.

The big: TRR. Championship 2020

More information on that soon on the Leagues and Events section.

Quote from Eclipsed :

Anyway,on topic - nice to see you back,Rocky. I still remember my 1st win in international level,it was in your hosted Historic F1 Series,where I was running in strong 2nd place and Good Adam failed in one turn on very first lap... Well,you returned in right time - I believe you liked one event taking place annually on 26th december,so mark the day in calender.

You didn't just win a race, you won the series infact:

You might've forgotten that fact.


And if I have time I will certainly pop by the derby event for sure!


Edit: And I still got all replays from that season as well.

Made a highlight from some of the action in LFS I witnessed in 2019.

Mainly from the TRR. Championship 2019 and some public races.

Enjoy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paM3Gr31XbQ

My 4 runs recorded in video.

My silly attempts to give it a start

Maybe I should not make a new topic, and find one to add too, but I wanna say a lot so I decided to make a big new post after all.

But... after joining in with LFS in late 2003 after discovering the public demo on some demo's site at the time. Driving the demo till 2007 and to enjoy every moment, the good and the bad, throughout till 2014/2015 ish. At that point I left LFS for a while.

Recently I am back, so is my Team Rock Racing team with quite a lot of the old but also a few new names that I brought with me from other games.

It's amazing to see this amazing simulator is still somewhat alive and kicking and I am grateful to be even a tiny part of this long lasting legend.

Been playing since 2003 once more, it's about to turn 2020, jeez, we might be getting older and rusty, but if you look how many of us, cause I always saw LFS as a small-ish community, rather then just a game with a user-base, have ended up doing something great in motorsports or sim-racing, like Bottas, van Buren, Catsburg, Teien, Price, Østgaard and many, many more... We may be a darn proud community.

My hope is that LFS revives to another glory period of amazing league racing, high-end teams and more.


If you listen to these great songs from back in the day by schUPpor and look what ScaViEr has been developing still over the past few. We might finally get those ol' Christmas wishes granted, even if a decade later.

I never stopped loving this great simulator game and never will. LFS always was and again is a great part of my life. And I hope I get to say that for many more years to come.

Thank you ScaViEr for the love you put into this beauty of a sim, and for not giving up on it.
It has shaped my life, might even saved my life at times, to have a place to be, meet great people, drive great races.

Thank you, for being amazing, sure we all have our flaws and set backs, we all are humans living our lifes, but your dedication to this game I can only be thankful for more then anything.

It might not be the holiday season yet, but I'm as cheerful as if it was, and I raise my glass and toast to all of you who are still here enjoying this darn beauty of a sim!

After finding back an old video project I once made "Live for Speed - All Angels Gone", I got inspired to make a new video with this song and subject, but doing it quite different.

All Angels Gone... is a small and short tribute to the good old days of highly active league racing. And how great those days used to be. As I do miss those days.

Video:


Hope you'll like it.

First attempt in ages at edting a screenshot to look like in motion:

Been playing about with some footage, nothing too fancy.

Quote from THE WIZARD DK :

really nice video. but.. that ENB (i assume) it looks very odd to me. besides that i think its a great video. and yes. been awhile since i also seen you in lfs. wb.

Thanks

Yeah I forgot to remove that old ENB mod before recording the first 10 clips and decided to leave it in, for this video atleast, not to have to redo the research and recordings. But thanks for reminding me, taking that ENB mod off right away!

And thanks for the welcome back.

I'm not sure tho, if I will be driving again, but I surely will be recording more old footage purely to save them I guess.

Hey everyone,

It's been a long time since I stepped foot in here...

Recently I've been reworking old results from events I've hosted, purely for my statistics hobby.

Between 2009 and 2013 I've (together with amazing people) hosted over 150 races/events/etc as Team Rock Racing in Live for Speed. A time of ups and downs, as I was going through an extremely rough period in my life. And people that didn't truelly knew me, probably thought I was some insane oddball, but that's what you get if you don't explain yourself...


Anyways, whilst going through, over 240 replays in an old instance of LFS and creating a huge database of spreadsheets with results. Example here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F-Uq0wTIXN3rMSzOTV4qFulQf4nhFnQBD2ZZi89RODw/edit?usp=sharing


I also noticed there often was a race or event where crashes occurred, honest accidents in the heat of the moment.

I am slowely starting to record some of them. In my spare time beside my YouTube "job" and work for mCon esports. And I will turn them into more episodes of LFS Crashes.

Here is part 1 of the classic crashes series, being LFS Crashes #8 (no music added, like most of my YouTube videos)




I hope you'll enjoy, feel free to leave a comment here or on YouTube, thanks!



Cheers,
Walter / Rocky / cholover7

Wowzers, sorry to hear this is going on, on my old favorite hangout in LFS.

Just this very night where I wanted to have some LFS fun for the first time in god knows how long.. And I see no [TC] servers and questioned myself HAVE THEY QUIT??? Luckily you guys didn't, but the reason the servers are offline is very, very saddening...

Hope you guys find a solution soon and that we'll have time to do some catching up. Missed you lads!


Cheers,
cholover7 / Rocky7up

Quote from Scawen :

OK, I'm only quoting yours but also read the others. I'll try it out.

Only thing is, I think with rotation switched off I'll be able to get the map squeezed up nicely on the right side of the screen (better than it is now - it's unfinished). With rotation, it'll need to be out about where is is now, and there could be a bit of overlap. So I'll code for two different positions of the centre point, making best use of space when the map is not rotating.

We'll see how that goes. I expect to be able to work on that tomorrow.

I was about to sugggest to use a code similar to the Mirror codes, where you can either choose a fixed position(right corner as you suggested) or, for the map, rotating, but then you can slide it to what ever position,left and right, as you (the player) likes? But within the screen border?

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Thanks for sharing Rocky, I see the new BeamNG vids are doing quite well too

Yes they are quite much aren't they?!

Ten thousands of views every day spread across my vids!

Quote from Welshie :

What circuit is the first clip from? With the 2 Mini's racing through the uphill chicane?

Hey, that would be Aston Cadet REV / AS1R!

Quote from Eclipsed :

See him go? He's gone practically for several years already...

Very incorrect, Rony, I was still very active in Public racing and especially Cruise community.

I did indeed quit leaugue races from 2013 on, but didn't quit LFS in general till March of this year!

Hey,

As I've quit LFS for good early 2016 and picked up video-editing again, I decided to make one last LFS Crashes compilation as a last goodbye to the game/sim that kept me entertained for so many years.

I used many unused clips from over the years, and this is my final good bye to you lot, thanks for the fun and hate we shared, after all, we all shared 1 love, Live for Speed!



Take care!,

Walter / Rocky7up

Thanks ScaViEr for this brilliant FPS boost and continious work on LFS again, keep it up!

Quote from cargame.nl :

I was wondering this too.. But in a different way. The new physics is good, Eric only wants to drive with this. But it can be cheated... Now I was thinking what can actually be cheated about it compared to the old physics. Wiggling the steering wheel all the time... Blowing against your computer screen to let the tires cool down more.. Eehhhmm.. What else..

Dave mate I was laughing so hard at that!!
