Quote from Tiptoe :

One more question arises, that can't be answered by the lfs manual: The custom layout for Kyoto. Will this layout be available for download somewhere, to have a practice already?
It's still almost five months until then, but anyway...

You can download it here: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/73903-New-Open-Track-Configurations-%28Track-maps-and-layouts%29

It is also known as "K31". It is part of the attatchment in the opening post. Scrolling down a bit, you also find a trackmap. Since it is reversed, you need to be on KY3Y to load it properly.

Sign-ups for the OEC Two have opened. You need to enter your team by giving your Team Name, your Starting Number (between 11-99) and LFS User Name & Ingame Name for the team's drivers.

Starting Numbers 1 - 10 are reserved for last year's competitors:
01 eXtrem Racing
02 [TC] Racing
03 Heroes of Racing
04 World Class Lions
05 Heroes of Racing (II)
06 Fast And Crazy SimSports
07 World Class Lions (II)
08 The Cruising Street Racers
09 Team Ittium RS
10 Team Vires

GTR is used by LFS to group the cars. The GT1 and GT2 class use the same cars but with different added car restrictions.

For season two, there are a few changes.

The minimum number of drivers for a team is reduced to 1, the maximum number increased to 5. The class structure is changed to GT1 (FXR, FZR 20kg, XRR), GT2 (FXR 24%, FZR 21%, XRR 25%) and NGT (XFR, UFR 15kg).
The qualifying is a 9 day long session, where the fastest time for a team counts. Only teams with at least one scored laptime are allowed to participate. The deadline for changes is now 30minutes before the start of the race and the race is now started by a rolling start by the rules. The race distance is reduced to 3 hours.
Along the two cup clasifications for driver and teams overall, the class classification for teams willl also be released

The complete season two rules will soon be available on http://oec.ronaldg.net/regulations.php

Hello everyone,

let's risk a second season. The format will be modified (*cough* more mainstream *cough*) but details will be released soon. So lets first release the race dates in this second season.

6 Mar 2016 - 3 hours of Rockingham ISSC
3 Apr 2016 - 250 Miles of Blackwood Grand Prix reversed
1 May 2016 - 3 hours of South City Town Course reversed
29 May 2016 - 3 hours of Westhill International
26 Jun 2016 - 3 hours of Kyoto International reversed

All races will start at 17:00 UTC respectively 16:00 UTC. Qualifying will most likely see a week of open track from Saturday to Saturday prior to the race.

Quote from Flame CZE :

Thanks to the new 'input when window is inactive' feature, only in LFS can you now control up to 40 cars at once! 40 for the price of 1! And that's worth it!

I tried 9 and it was getting quite laggy at times, but it works

yey! offline multiplayer! Who needs Mario Kart when he can get this!

#26

What are the dates for the actual events? I understand the Qualifier is from January 1st to 8th 2016.

Same for me

Apart from the question how a piece of software can be alive, yes there are events, mostly European based (Saturday there is an 8 hour race e.g. and events are kept track in the league calender or on Facebook (#LeagueUpdate)) and some public servers, but indeed activity has drastically decreased in comparison to five years ago.

Fantastic!

Well Timo, I made some mistakes noone can deny. Plus blaming LFS on stuff wich actually have been known before is too easy. Anyways, I think I can take away some things from it and look into improving them for the future
And I can also agree with troy pretty easily.

Sadly only four teams have confirmed and so I have to cancel the round. I still want to thank you.

I will evaluate changes and the chance for an OEC two.

Anyways I hope to see many of you at the CityLiga Christmas Special in two weeks.

Please state here your thoughts about the series, what went wrong, what is good, where to improve.

Sunday is Raceday

Quote from Yisc[NL] :

I think the same amount as on a regular track.

Quote from Eclipsed :

I would bet on server settings (carsmax=40),but I can't guarantee that though,as I have little experience in this case.

Yeah, that's why I asked, because I also just have little experience.

Quote from Gutholz :

Do you really mean the autocross mode? (point-to-point layouts, with time penalty for hitting pylons)

Then the answer is: Only one car can start at a time. More cars can be on track at the same time, but drivers have to wait few seconds with joining. (otherwise message: "The start is blocked.")
Autocross uses the startlocation placed with "S" key, not the new grid things...so can only be one "S"-start. The largest such "rallye" I saw was ~20 cars, but probally more work too. The limiting factor is more that you have to leave bit time between cars, so that the pylons can reset and cars do not catch up to each other.

Yes I actually thought of the autocross mode with not necessarily point-to-point driving but with everyone getting on track individually.

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :

40

Put 40 Start points and 40 pit start points and also allow 40 racers to be joined in server with /maxguests=40 and carsmax=40

even with 40 start points, you can only use 20 if you do not add all 40 pit start points

EDIT: without custom grid start points, the max is 20 and start grid will be default

EDIT: Shift-U - Edit AutoX - control on top right - pick the object(s)

Ok, that sounds good thank you

Hello,

what is the maximum amount of drivers who can be on track simultaniously during an event in the autocross mode? Does anyone know?

Best regards
Falke

looks pretty good. It reminds me a bit of what dave does for the cityliga streams.

inofficial tesults:

EDIT: We were not the only series of this type hit by such difficulties.

Quote from Spirit of VLN on Facebook :

Race #3 at Bathurst (and season 3) was cancelled due to lack of interest from the teams and drivers

Only four teams were represented by drivers at the end of the qualifying practice session. Together with the present drivers we agreed on a compromise: A reduction of the race length to 1 hour with half points scored and a lift on all limitations considering a minimum or maximum race distance are enforced.

If you two'd drive it'd be far more interesting.

EDIT: In case you forgot: just under 20 minutes are left in OEC qual

PMs are sent, Server is passworded. Sign-ups are open and can be casted until the start of qualifying at 13:45 UTC.

If I missed anyone, or new sign-ups come in, please post here. PMs will be sent out prior to qualifying.

Server set to the current combo and unpassworded
