This is shaping up to be a good race - the improved Blackwood chicane will make some fun bumping tonight - good luck everyone!

---edit---
A damn fun race - dropped from 8th to 18th on lap one, made my way back up to 4th though, (started 11th).

Yes, I had much better performance with WMP than Real Player, perhaps Vista and WMP have one thing going for them after all?

pretty good quality - what software/hardware are you using to stream?

Firstly about the new quali system.

We decided on trying a new format because hotlapping on your own is a bit boring. Giving people the freedom to access a quali server 24 hours, means you can decide to have fun quali-ing with others (by aranging a set time with your friends or team mates), or on your own.

We may well suggest a certain day or time for those who want a semi fixed schedule to quali with others, but, this would be totally non compulsary.

(for example - Wednesday 18:00 to 22:00 GMT for group quali night)

You've got to bare in mind, a full server is much more fun, but other people on track can lose you time and valuable laps (like real life) - if you're a perfectionist and don't want any distractions, you can head to the quali server during off peak hours.

My thoughts about laps - as you can have unlimited practice laps on or offline, only having a set number for the official quali makes it rather exciting, it's much more fun to have some pressure on your quali rather than have an unlimited time to do the perfect lap possible via the old hotlapping method.

12 laps might be too long, or it might be too short, we'll see how it pans out in the next warm up event.

Good work FF Tim!

The warm up race was great - a spinner in front lost me time and gave me damage at the start, and a weird balance slide cost me more time later on. Other than that, a real fun race - looking foward to the next one.

can't wait to try it out!

Two warm up races...with pitstops! Fantastic!

looking forward to it

I didn't know that at the time Timbo - thought it was a bug. However, i'm pretty sure it wasn't happening all the time, so, perhaps you changed the app while I was on the server? (this was earlier in the day).

Unless it is a proper bug that is.

Updated to X36 and this bug happened right away, and i've had it twice so far. It does not happen every time I to reproduce it. Let me know what you think.

Running LFS in a window with the mouse cursor turned on in LFS so that you can click the drivers names in the bottom right corner.

Maximizing LFS and just after quickly changing it to NAMES OVER CARS but the mouse cursor stays on screen even though it should be hidden. It might happen with other X patches, i've not tested, it just so happend to happen to me on the first time using X36.

Hope it helps.

Just watched that video too - looks fun I must say!

Wow Sami...sounds like you peed them off...heheh!

Only kidding, Speedclub, you make some interesting points there, it's a shame you're not in England where I can take a look.

Any newa on this? Since test patch x30 i've started noticing this again whilst racing. As said, it's true about the skins not loading whilst at high speed, but there is a noticable stutter when someone leaves the pits, maybe it's more an initial syncing issue rather than skins.

getting the hang of the shifting a bit now - is everyone else getting the same 50mph speed limit (in any gear) when the clutch overheats?

Great car, great new track and great new features.

Not quite comfortable with the new clutch system and whilst using the keyboard for gear changes, might be brill with the wheel but it might mean a lot of keyboarders switching to auto.

Shame about the problems you had - the idea is great, but I can picture it not working properly, usually things like that are never configured properly on stalls. They usually get untrained staff.

When I went to London to see the Wii last november, the had Wii tennis set up so you were playing tennis doubles with yourself (so two people on one team, against eachother), which made it impossible to play, therefore making many who played it at the time get a bad impression.

Well I doubt he would lie about it - so I believe him for now.

I can't remember that far back now. But S.Varjonen keeps all the replays.

Us Finns didn't do to well this year.

hehe - think that long summer break made us forget it!

always try to email the OLFSL staff as soon as possible, all the email addresses are on the site. The chatterbox and forum aren't the right places for this to be asked and acted upon quickly.

probably too late then Horrgakx - sorry.

Well done everyone on a tough last race.

Crappy race for me, thanks to those I battled with. Apologies to those I bumped around a bit.

Looking forward to next season already!

to be honest I'm not really worried how much space it takes, however I have noticed it takes a long time to virus scan my LFS folder.

yes I know, I just suggested it.

Like a lot of people here, I have every skin downloaded by LFS since I first played the game.

Although it's good to have as many skins that are in use local on your hard drive in case they're needed. I must have so many that are old and will never be used again, they may not even be on LFSW anymore.

What about a system where LFS checks once a month if all of the skins are on LFSW or not, if they're not, they are deleted (or if not deleted, sent to a compressed folder or something). This would free up tons of space on many hard drives around the world.
