It seems that the userbar's don't update when you pass from one license to another.

I have the silver license since some week and it's still displaying the bronze userbar. I've already reported it but i think my report is fallen in the ears of a deaf

Maybe it's because there is other license (clubman et singleseaters) and this will be soon updated.

Rain... That will add another few months of fun to the sim.
How about ice and snow too (ice is close to snow but they are different to drive on)

Damnit,
you're idea isn't new too ...

Wheather, track surface, time of day:

+ Night racing
- Snow and ice

Go and read the improvement log (said it twice, i know).

Would be cool if we can see the actual classement of skins

Me too i would like to suggest an idea wich is greeeeeeeeaaaatttt !!
Read this topic: Here

In wich you can read this:

You'd better post there: The autocross layout forums

To upload "track" just join the .lyt file to your post. (located in: <your lfs folder>\data\layout)

I think that the problem don't come from your setup or whatelse but because you're using a mouse (as i do). We (mouse drivers) can't modify the brake strength during the braking as wheel's owners does. It's all or nothing and as you all know it's not a way to brake. Reducing the brake strength or balance in your setting can help but here is another idea.

When you come to the braking zone, just hit the brake and don't try to turn. When you reach the top speed limit of the corner, just let the brake off but don't turn yet, just let the car goes. Wait a short moment to stabilize the car then aim for the apex. When you've reached the apex, then accelerate.

I know it's seems stupid and you all know how to do. But the thing i'd like to highlight is not the braking but the dead time between the end of braking and the acceleration. During this short moment, the car will stabilize, the suspension wich were pumped by the braking will release and give you more efficiency. Only wheel's owners can brake until the apex.

This is how i do and it's working pretty well with the tbo's but also with the other cars. I think it's a way to do when you have a mouse. Now try it and see if it's better for you.

a nascar and an Ariel Atom

Yes and a flying duck with wheels (for landing) would be nice too.

52 Pages of useless sugestions. Wow, impressive.

Quote from GeForz :

Keep the dfp Wheel and just use the G25 shifter and pedals?

And give the rest to me (to complet the sentece)

Nice competition, i only looked at it as a spectator because i had no chances to be in top 100 but there is pretty good drivers in lfs. The whole concept of this competition was realy a good idea, i hope they will be other ones (like alot of people here).

Anyway, now that you have your G25 you don't need to use your old wheel isn't it? So why not give it to me Your alien's wheel would fit perfectly in my hands

So a good work, well done !!

Exellent work!

I Like the little spiting flammes out the exhaust

Exellent

It's funny to drive with the wind. Prety challenging due to the change of the brake points. On bl1 I went up to 200km/h with the little xfg thanks to the wind. The first lap looked like the video, evrybody goes off road

I'm a belgian and i don't have this problem.
With wich server did you have trouble?

Exellent job, realy these one sound way much better than tho original's one.
Another Unofficial addon wich should be official

There is something that make me 'laugth' in a way about the price of the week3 LX Month challenge. It's that this week you can win a wonderfull wheel, wich evrybody would kill to have. But we all knows that's a wheel owner who will win this wheel. Never a mouse owner would be able to win it Even if there is some great mouse racers.


I just wanted to notice that even if i know that there is nothing to do but work hard to try to demontrate that i'm wrong, at least i hope

Note to support my words: Week1, 1st mouse driver: 49th place, Week 2: 66th place ... It's gonna be hard

4 minutes to Single Seater?

Racername: Andrei221
Online at: CTRA Single Seater

Seems to be 0 minutes left

I think that insim can do it.
We have the insim support for flags and we have insim position packet so it's possible to do but will it work?

What a carnage!
Sadly, it's happening frequently in fact but not as much cars are involved.

In the other hand you can have realy realy realy good race, close but without contact. Look at this .mpr: 5 laps of close combat between me and 4|R KaZel.

It's all the CTRA. Good race and ... bad races

Quote from Becky Rose :

Wins = 1st, Podium = 1st - 3rd. So podiums are counted when you win (although we store the data seperately for each field) We dont store whether a podium was 2nd or 3rd. Our stats are quite different to LFSW in many ways, to me I figured, well you are either in a trophy position, or you aren't, I guess this is something to do with my own racing mentality:

A win is good, a trophy is ok, anything else is just an entry fee.

Ok, i've well understand now but isn't that wired that the win's count is the same than the podium's count? I was at least +/-5 times 2nd and +/-10 times 3th so if i have understand the result should be 14 wins and +/- 14+5+10 podium wich is not the case.


Edit:
Ok, thankfully to lfsworld i checked my race history of today since my first play on ctra xsystem.
Here is the results: 14 times first, 9 times second and 5 times 3rd.
So the podium count is not 1st - 3rd but 2nd - 3rd.
Now i have my answer



@ Gass: use this [ ctra ]gass[ / ctra ] (without spaces)

But there is something wrong i think. I was just looking at my MyCtra and i saw this:

Quote :

Wins: 14
Podium: 14

Does this mean that i was 14 times the winner and so 14 times on a podium? Or i've been 14 times first and 14 times in 2nd or 3th place? I've been playing tonight and i did "a lot" of 2nd and 3th places.

Maybe it will be more interesting to display it like on LFSW:

Quote :

Races won: 57
Second: 70
Third: 51

And maybe add the total number of podiums. Sound more interesting i think. Or i'm totaly wrong?

I agree with you, the Yellow Flag ratio is not realy representatif of the driver skill to not cause crash. I actualy lived situation like you've explain (bieing active actor or just pasive) and there is one thing worst than having no chances to win a race due to a crash is that the person who caused the crash is not penalised at all and you got your ratio of yellow flag goes up. Anyway, it's a good idea but we should not care to much attention to this ratio. I think it will be impossible to tweak it unless the colision detection suport for insim is ready.

I got the avatar problem too, manual resize work well.

Another bug i've experienced:
I went on Race 2 or 3 (the gtr one) and the program told me that i can't take an FXR or an XRR or an FZR because i must have the bronze license wich i have. I wasn't aware that you need gold license to join. With the UFR and XFR the program told me that i must have a gold license. So i think there is some kind of trouble there.
If somebody can confirme this problem it would be "nice".

Anyway, it's an amazing work wich you've done. Congratulation and good luck for the upcoming event/updates.

Quote from Joris :

To pull an Albers: Leave the pits with the fuel hose still attached.

Hakkinen also did it in DTM on Hokenheim (spelling?) last year (i think).

Interesting topic. I'm sorry to say that but some of you guys are racing's geek

Mhhh i guess you're right. Little lag + the wired colision engine of lfs can cause crashes

Hello,
It's realy strange. I was on we int, first lap, 3rd place. On T1 the car suddently turned to left without i touched anybody. Realy strange. It may be due to the lag but i didn't had a high ping.

Any idea?
