I kinda like the idea really, its not really an improvement to the game as such but it adds to the realism. You could also heat your tyres up a little on the way too!
Perhaps the way todo it is, someone does /restart - to begin the race, then you all have X amount of time to get back to the grid from leaving the pits, whoever fails to get back to grid gets bumped to the back of the grid for wasting time!
People grow some balls, admittedly BlackSheep has only been here for a short while but what he does speak some truth.
Points 1-3-5 are all perfectly valid and true, go check out the teams section and witness a new team is born every day or so.
MIRACLE TEAMS, VIRGIN CHILD, THESE IMMORTAL TEAMS ROAM THE EARTH FOR ONLY A DAY :bowdown:
As for people not apologizing when they've caused an accident, I don't really care for it any more but that's not to say it doesn't happen. I remember not long ago being called a stupid noob from a guy with less then 5000 miles for overtaking on the outside of oval and him driving up into me.
But thats not to say all beginners are misguided and have no idea what they are doing, we all start from ground zero and some of us (not me) have a clean reputation so the LFS community cant be all that bad at welcoming new drivers can it?
Unless you think you're really going to be using the 3 pedals + shifter and all the other fancy stuff that comes with it. Id recommend a Driving Force Pro (DFP) which is tonnes cheaper and does the job perfectly!
You've probably already fixed this problem by now, but I might aswell post this anyway.
I know whenever I reinstall Server 03 and all of the drivers for the gfx + Dx update I need to change the Hardware acceleartion back to full to allow LFS to boot. Although you say you are running as a dedicated server, im not really sure if it will help much here.
But if you can, bump up the hardware acceleration in your Display properties and see if that solves anything
Spiking is when the pots just go all haywire, irregular contact or something...
As for logitech replacing your hardware beacuse its old and not working, well wouldnt that be like replacing my shoes because they've got a hole in it?
Great tool, just starting to use it more often now but Id like to suggest a few things if that be ok?
Firstly would it be possible to have the selected item refresh whenever I have it selected in the server list? Have it on a small interval or something so that I don't need to refresh the whole list to find if there is a free slot available. Perhaps also include a 'Wait to join / queue' type function too, which starts LFS and connects or notifies me as soon as a slot is free.
Also, when I browse a server to view the players that are in the server, perhaps once a player name is double clicked it opens up there LFSWorld page to view their stats?
I'm sure these things could all be implemented, you might have already thought of them yourselves.
Once you reinstall windows you need to readjust the hardware acceleration, Im not sure if you need todo this with ATI but nVidia doesnt adjust it for you. You'll know it so if you use the nVidia control panel, if you right click on your desktop and go to properties, then try and select the nVidia tab in Settings, it will error and tell you why.
Probably isnt DirectX because XP has 8.1 I think as default.
What about all the riots and havoc England supporters cause over seas... Im not suprised they went all out and layed down a beating, its not like England is known for its peaceful and loving football fans is it?
Perhaps... perhaps not, how are we to know? All that is clear is that James strategically positioned himself to slow the car behind you down. All I'm saying is if James hadn't of rejoined perhaps your result might have been very different.
At first I thought you were just talking rubbish, until I reviewed the replay personally and Id have to say Id agree with your analysis.
James I have no idea what the hell you think you were doing, to begin with you rejoined the race about 10/15 laps after you disconnected. It was clear you were trying to slow duvel down, in my opinion thats just poor racing and Id not like to see DR continue racing in BoTT if this is the sort of tactics you choose to use.
Yeah, im sure duvel would have something to say about that.
