I'm sure no one is interested

Don't be so sure

I hope you'll make a little review when the circuit is released about the real experience vs the LFS experience. And if you buy a Caterham then it would be much better

First of all I would like to say that I'm impressed with the pics of the new circuit. Great news!

But I would like to make some little point.
Few years ago, LFS-Forum was not only a place for LFSers to comment things about the game or have a nice time knowing each others, it actually was a perfect way of communication between us, the community, and the developers.

One of the main features of LFS is its develop way. Lots of us really like having direct information of what's going on with the simulator and what we could expect in the "near" future.
Sadly this communication broke down some time ago due to part of the community starting complaining about the develop process (when it actually is one of the most impressive features of LFS ).

Now they announce a new track, a real track, laser scanned, and people complain anyway . It's just a nonsense.

So what I mean is: Devs, some people would always complain, but some other don't, so... why don't go back to the nice times when you share with the community what things are you working on, what were false steps, why some things are really difficult to implement, etc...

Until know we (more or less) knew what to expect, as the road to S2 final was stated. But know we just would have no tips about what we can expect for 0.7A (or whatever yo want to name it ). That's really a step back in the filosophy of LFS development as we (the happy part of the community) liked to think of. A small development team who want to create the best simulator they can, with direct communication with a little (not so llitle nowadays) community of enthusiasts.

And I'm sure most people that is moaning, would not do it if they had more information about why some things are not ready yet (or they are, but not released)

Hi EQ!

We were running Airio for the last months, but as you may know we're having some problems that we are unable to solve

I'm checking the logs and we get some errors form time to time (about two or three per day).

The error is this:

09.09.23 22:35:51 #1 AEGIO ERROR : System.Net.Sockets.SocketException
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
at System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient..ctor(String hostname, Int32 port)
at LiveForSpeed.InSim.Aegio.Connection.ConnectionOpen(String hostName, Int32 hostPort, String adminPass, String insimName, Char prefixChar, Boolean hostLocal, Boolean keepColours, Boolean sendNodeLap, Boolean sendMultiCar, UInt16 updateInterval, UInt16 udpPort) in c:\Development Files\LFS_Airio2\Aegio\InSimConnection.cs:line 99

Would you have some tips about this? We are very happy with the system and it fits perfect for our league system, but we really need to solve this before the next league (we're currently racing a little champ) as we're using Airio for the inscriptions

Thanks a lot for the great work and for all the help you've provided to us!

I'm having some troubles installing it.
It can't load data on the airiotable.
I think its a config problem.

What is suposed to be set in the localhost var? The address of the database?

When running the script it displays the "Airio Script v5.0.4 by mc0676: DB Updated SuccessFully" message, but I think it can't even connect to my DB

Thanks a lot, and nice work!

Quote from BenjiMC :

all that calling a fat person fatty is is saying that they're fat, which last time i checked they are... doesn't mean they wont find ti offensive, because even if they are/aren't ashamed of being fat, they know you think it's something worth teasing.

Quote from BenjiMC :

Obviously not, you wern't brought up in a black culture so don't understand the impact of certain images, words etc and the context in which they are used.

It wasn't, how i believe ur making it out to be, me saying white people just don't understand cus your mind is incapable.

You just have explained exactly why the black face was not a racist act. That idiot don't understand the impact of certain images (sic). It's like a child pointing at a wheelchair or a retard (hope that word doesn't sound despective in english, it's not what I want to mean) and asking his parents. He don't know some people can feel offended

In Spain nobody will take a black face as a racist act. I recall a Madrid - Barcelona football match where some neonazi group started calling Eto'o monkey and making monkey sounds. That is a racist act

Quote from Intrepid :

Slavery was only abolished around 200 years ago and I can assure that really isn't a LONG time at all. Just coz a human only lives for around 70 doesn't mean we can't learn lessons from our history. I also didn't say Spain had a racist problem and what's so wrong with gypsies?

All I stated that it screams of complete ignorance and stupidity to go and black yourself up to mock a driver considering the disgraceful history of our countries in regard to slavery.

I don't want to tell people what they should and shouldn't do. it's up to the individual to decide! That i have to make clear! but I just want to remind people of our history and it's something we CAN NOT forget and put away as being 'long time ago' because it REALLY wasn't. This act just shows the ignorance in our world today

Well, sorry man, but I must tell that spaniards have forgot that part of our history. Maybe because it happened outside of our country, but believe me, nobody nowadays is concerned about slavery in the colonies. Indeed I actually doubt the majority of spanish people know what territories were spanish colonies in the past

And that not means at all that we can conquer half of the world again and put their people in chains if you're worried about that

And gipsies... well, let's say that some of them are out of the law and they really are a very conflicting people in some places

And of course, is stupid what that guy did but it's not racist. That people it's usually not so smart so if he intended to be racist it would be clear as water

Quote from Intrepid :

You sure about that

http://www.east-buc.k12.ia.us/00_01/CA/sla1.htm

"Portugal and Spain became increasingly involved in the African slave trade during the early 1500's, after they had established colonies in the Americas. Portugal acquired African slaves to work on sugar plantations that its colonists developed in Brazil. Spain used slaves on its sugar plantations in the West Indies. During the early 1600's, the Netherlands, France, and England also began to use African slaves in the American colonies."

I for one don't like the idea of telling people what they can and can't do . Whether this bloke is racist or not I don't know. But I think it's in very BAD taste and judgement to act like he did

Are you kidding me?

Quote :

Some people seem to have forgotten we enslaved an ENTIRE race of people not THAT LONG AGO! The issue is still very fresh regardless of what people say.

Four centuries are not THAT LONG AGO! ? :ices_rofl

In Spain there are not racism problems with black people. Indeed the little racist groups (a rare minority in big cities) are more angry against latin-americans rather than against african people. And there's a big flow of inmigrants from Africa, but they're not conflictive people in general.

I'm sure that if you make a poll of unliked races in Spain the win is for the gipsies by far... but black people? No way man :color:

I think in other countries people is sick with racism threat and sees racist acts where they do not exist. It comes to my mind the photo of the Olympic Basket Team and international press (especially the yellow english press -The Sun and crap like that-) pointing that as racism...
In while, we were between laughing and facepalming at them for being such a morons That type of paternalist, extremist-defensive behaviour is much more racist than anything else

Quote from Intrepid :

Not in our country, you can be sure of that.
Of course there are some little racist groups in the big cities, but people in the street don't bother with american slavery problem

Quote from Gener_AL (UK) :

Which again brings me to another point, slightly off topic but important i think none the less. It would be nice to have the charts recorded in an archive each time its reset.

Very nice feature!

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

Sounds good to me If arechee wants to prove a point, why doesn't he take the MHR from the only guy that really matters?

:ices_rofl

I think that not only Spaniards are "sucking cocks" now

You are once and for all gay :color:

Quote from arrowkart4 :

yea, but i think that bawbag could get atleast 150 or more wrs, hes just lazy arnt ya ray

So you think the rest of top drivers out there are hotlapping all day long?

Quote from -M- :

It's great to be slow. You can drive as you want. Nobody asks you, nobody complains you. Nobody envies you.

You're the very guru of us, slow racers.
I do love you Mr. -M-

Would be nice to see a race between the most WR holders, that would take the discussion where it may belong

Quote from hotmail :

The McLaren team has been disqualfied from the Australian Grand Prix following a detailed stewards' investigation into the incident involving the Englishman and Jarno Trulli on Sunday; the World Champion passed the Toyota under safety car conditions as the Italian ran off the circuit, before then slowing to allow Trulli to retake his position.

Lol back in too the f1 politics

They may consider including a safety car in McLaren simulator

What you are going to do with them?

IRL those tracks don't exist.

One friend needs it for a video he's making

Quote from EliteAti :

Those links originally linked in lfs.net IIRC

I was looking for in there but didn't find anything
Could you give me a little tip about where to look? I'll try again anyway, thanks!

Hi!

As title says I'm looking for the track names in image format. Something like the Blackwood logo you can see in the start line

http://www.thejag.nl/lfs/rdr/news002.jpg

Problem is that (as far as I know) the other tracks don't have such kind of logos anywhere

I wonder if someone has made this already... maybe for using in a web

Thanks in advance!

I'm so glad Pontiac is going out of business. this car made me punch myself in the face.

Are you sure it's from Pontiac?
It has all the blinking stuff for being a Mac

Thanks for the PM!

Drink Team is in again... waiting for the first bonus question to pick my team

Nice!
I think the PHP code you're talking about is this one, isn't it?
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=36628

Thanks a lot for the support

We have found a little problem

In the PB.txt file there are problems with some characters. I mean, one of our racers is a.s. pérez in LFS-World, but in the PB.txt file appears as a. s. pérez

I know... damn nick with spaces, dots and accent, but we can't control that

Anyway, as we parse the PB.txt to link online times with our DB we find this an inconvenient. If it's too much complicated to solve it we can try a turnaround in our PHP/DB anyway
