Possibly the best and the worst race ever for me. Pool 7
Started 3rd, but finished fifth.
Up to second from the start - yo yoed a bit from 2nd, 3rd, 1st, 2nd for a bit. Then when leader had to pit I was 1st for most of the race after that. Had some good battles with second place, although I was for sure faster, he only kept catching up when I slid or went wide and lost time.
Anyway, all was fine, 3 laps to go and I was in the lead!!!
First I go wide, then slip to second, then wide again and down to 3rd, oh no, but still enough time to get back as I was fast. So in 3rd place, but all over the back of 2nd, I get a weird slipstream and makes me crash, with two laps to go, he spins off, I'm back into 2nd place and I am fast enough to catch the leader!
But oh no - at the end of the straight my tyre blows, luckily just infront of the pits - frustratingly my pit stop was slow due to car repairs, but I didn't need them, only the new tyre, came out in fifth and finished fifth.
Bugger!

Don't know if Scawen remembers me having a graphics problem with LFS - the whole games gfx would go wrong, the menus would all be white and the tracks and cars have no textures or rendering etc.
Well it still happens every now and then, say once a month, but usually happens when using Alt Tab and Shift and F4 a lot in one LFS session.

Yes I must admit the service hasn't been great recently.
The start of the season was fine, but have just had problem after problem last few races.
The new pc has run in to some problems, having to get a new motherboard so that wont be ready for this weekend, however it still might be possible to stream pools one and two, but I will need to test.

I guess Pool one could be scheduled on it's own last out of all the pools, and as I usually host it anyway.
I guess if Tessu gets enough requests then it might be possible.
I'll try and get it all working, just ordered the BIOS chip, so it should arrive before weekend, just hope it works!

This weekend
There may not be any streaming this weekend folks.
The streaming pc is currently in pieces all over the floor. The building of the new pc has begun, but waiting on a new BIOS chip before I finish.
I hope to have it finished before Sunday, but can't promise anything.
On a seperate note.
I am interested in how many people are still using the stream. I know we've had problems recently, which is a shame, as there has been some good racing.
Basically the OLFSL donation tin is near empty, so if there isn't much of an audience at the moment, then I need to evaulate if it is worth the money to keep it going without donations. I'm not paying for servers if only 3 people are watching
I do hope to be able to get the stream really good soon (lots of ideas in the pipeline), what with new PC etc, but you need to let me know if you want it to stay or not guys and gals.

bug report
Reporting a bug with latest test patch (w23 not w24), happend twice but when tried to replicate for 3rd time to get picture, it not happening anymore.
When loading XFGti on Blackwood Rev - the driver model was not right. The driver was standing up in the car and his chest and head were out of the roof, this was visable from all angles, also in car view was not selectable with the letter V as usual, it appeared from the drivers heads perspective, who was out of the car.
Will grab picture if happens again.

Thanks for the tune up ant - sorry about your race.
I gathered some good tyre data and am looking forward to a good result next week I hope.

Ian H, you stupid dick!
No you're right I'm not a coder, I am an Author. So I know about creating something and either giving it to people to use for free or charge for it.
If I wrote a book that people could read for free and they asked, how did I write it, what was my inspiration, I wouldn't say: Sorry but that's my last book, I'm not going to tell you anything, now sod off and write your own book. That would be selfish.
I suppose the only thing you write apart from shit forum posts are love letters to your horny grandma, am I right or am I right?
If I did happen to create a freeware app, I would actually release the source code if I were stopping development, as a program without someone to develop it is useless, what sort of legacy is that.
Hell why don't the LFS coders do the same, stop development and leave us with a unfinished game to play, everyone, Ian H is saying that would be a good thing for them to do, what a wanker! I wish I had a time machine so that I could go back in time and drown you in some Scottish lake.
Very best wishes
Johnathan!

I think stats is a great app, and obviously deciding not to update it is your choice. But as it is free anyway, not releasing the code seems quite selfish as so many people rely on that software and to just close it and hide it away, well, doesn't seem part of the LFS ethic. Other people could continue your hard work, but you don't want them to, either it is just plain selfishness or you are afraid it will be improved upon I assume.
Maybe the 500servers were a bit overloaded today, but they've been fine up until now, so saying we have the worst servers is wrong.
I still think that we had a couple of very high pingers which caused it myself, but we shall see.
You'lve also got to remember contention ratio everyone, at that time of the evening the internet is very popular, if the rest of your group (say your ratio is 50:1 are downloading and uploading then it will affect you).

could be any number of background tasks interfering.
Best solution is to install LFS on a clean partition with just windows and nothing else, save a firewall.

I'm not admin here, otherwise I would tindy up this forum, it's in a right state!
I must admit we had lag today on Server one for Pool one - but Pool 5 used the same server an hour before and it was fine. I think we had an overall high ping rate from a lot of racers which caused problems.
Also 19 racers was quite high for a OLFSL race.
OLFSL server 2 wasn't laggy, I think again, it was people on it who were laggy.

Wow that was quick TysCaargh - thank you!
Although with crap sound this week, people might be better of downloading the replay later, but thank you for doing it!

If LFS is windowed you always get hgher FPS
Insim packets
I'm curretnly getting lots of messages regarding discarding unknow packets when I use TV Director on insim. Now I want to continue using it, but is there anyway to stop insim from reporting these errors so the text doesn't keep popping up in the top left corner?
Thanks

I can't exatcly remember now, such a short memory - would be on the replay though, if you haven't already, email Solar Hydro.
Good luck to everyone - gonna be a tough race!
Tyres will suffer and spins will happen, but if you can't handle that, then go and play Lego Racers instead!
You're all meant to be pro's, so I want no complaining or crying, if you get bumped, go tell your mommy, I don't wanna hear about it!
This is a place for racers, not babies

yeah
Really great - but when can we use it? and can you get it to work with your TV director tool at the same time, that would be cool.
When
When has OLFSL not updated to the next patch when it had been released as final.
Test patches are test patches, you know that warning box that pops up when you go to the Test Thread on the forum, well, that warning is there for a reason. If we used a test patch and something went wrong, we would have a messed up race weekend. This is why we only use final patches, can't believe we get this every time. If patch X is released just 1 or 2 days before, we will pretty much not be using it, as it is too close to the event, probably the next one.
