Quote from SchneeFee :@rumiko: do u also reduce resolution, and limit framerate ingame?

Limit FPS yes, reduce resolution no (I set "half-size" when recording in Fraps, so the final video is 512x384). Ingame res is 1024.
But my system specs are 1.7GHz and 512RAM, so I guess this is where my problem is.

When I try to rotate static camera, it never works out. The video is all jerky and it's hard moving the camera when recording at half speed
BTW SchneeFee, what are your system specs? The video was smooth even with full grid, awesome work.

Quote from SchneeFee :i used only 1 static camera (at 0:22), what do u mean?

I think he ment the on-board camera (in cockpit view) should be placed next to the driver, like in real life.

dunno if it helps, but...

- try smoothly switching from brake to accel when going through corners (very important)
- don't steer too much in corners or the car will lock up in a straight line, find the limit when the car still effectively turns.
- try other differencials (clutch-pack) if the car still understeers in corners.
- in high speed corners keep some 30 - 60% throttle to avoid sliding... full throttle will usually result in understeer

Quote from Frankmd :- Rejoining a server after a disconnect : 5 points. People are also not allowed to join to 'see if there are other drivers having lag problems', because in case of a serious server malfunction the race will be stopped and restarted. But 9 out of 10 times it will be a problem on the side of the racer, and if someone reconnects he can time out again and take other racers with him.

What does it mean if server says "MP replay out of stash space"? I got disconnected once when this message came up and I'm not sure if this was my fault (my connection worked days without a single problem or disconnection).

It's very improbable someone would take "others with him"... The probability of server crash/failure is much higher in my opinion. Therefore I don' consider penalty points a good idea if someone just wants to check the server status.

Hehe, remember back in S1 the legend of "mystery racer 1 and 2"? Like Vince and St0rm joined a demo server one evening in black GTis and owned the demo players with 1:34.xx. People later started talking on RSC about two mystery racers "1" and "2" driving insane times on Blackwood
Too bad Tweak ruined the legend and revealed their identity (they joined S1 server and forgot to change their nicknames, heh).

Quote from deggis :Is that video from some kind of lame console game tv program?

No, it isn't. Which isn't all that bad, because these "normal programs" attract larger audience than "lame console game tv programs"

Jardier from Czech e-Racing Team, who also drives in real professional races, has been interviewed on TV about Live For Speed. The video has about 5 minutes. I've made a translation to english subtitles, so it shouldn't be hard to understand what they're talking about

The video can be downloaded from liveforspeed.cz:
http://www.liveforspeed.cz/dow ... _breakout_jardier_lfs.mpg

English subtitles here:

note:
You need MPEG2 to play this video. If you'll encounter some codec issues, download MPEG2 decoder (unzip the file and run register.bat, to uninstall execute unregister.bat).

Isn't it better to take the car out for 20 minutes testing rather than do some weird calculations, which can't predict human mistakes and wind strenght/direction?

Just my opinion, but I doubt anyone who would sign up for 1 to 3 hour race would calculate his grip and strategy like this, without any real testing.

There's a huge difference between how people race. Some racers can drive their set for 30 - 40 minutes, other people using the same set can kill their tyres in few laps.

Quote from RacingSimFan :As for Point #1 there is an option to disallow mid-race joining (ie. switching from spectator to on-track mode) but not many servers do that. Don't know why not but oh well.

This option only prevents new players joining the race. However it can't prevent someone, who's already in the race, to jump into pits (Shift+S) and join the race with a new car. Many people who can't drive a single lap without crashing do this. It's also frequently misused by T1 n00bs as a quick way to fix their wrecked car.

IMHO both options speedfreak mentioned are good and should be implemented in future versions.

edit> AFAIK this thread is not about wreckers. It's about people who often ruin races because of their negligent behaviour.

Quote from Whisper :Not that it's easy to tell when someone is Japanese, just by watching them race. Heh. I bet they mostly stick to drift servers. O SNAP

Still, there's only 1% of licences bought from Japan (http://www.lfsworld.net/?win=r ... earch&whichTab=stats). Something must be wrong with the advertising...

Quote from steini :Don't slap me ,

But what is healtoeing?

Simon

Tapping the gas pedal with your heel (to rev the engine) while braking with your toe and downshifting.
Reving the engine while downshifting prevents the wheels from locking up.

Quote from Richard Torp :Hehe... i WAS INSIDE THE RULES, just to let you know that, but my posts was gone in the wind...after what i saw from Kid he was also inside..There was not much insulting in my post, only bad publicity for dE...nothing worse than critisice Microsoft etc. etc...Period...*LOL*

You should really speak to the moderator (pm) about your posts and reason for their removal. (You told me the same thing when we had an argument few months back at CRC, remember?)
As for Kid, he insults poeple on regular basis when they express an opinion he doesn't like. I don't really consider this to be inside rules and should be dealt with by the forum staff (IMO).

Quote from Gavin_UK :pub anyone?

This forum has rules. If you don't like the rules, don't sign up. It's that simple. Open your own private forum if you like and stop being a bother to the rest of this commnunity. Period.
