Thanks Scawen, it is much appreciated.
@DeathItself - Thanks for the suggestions, but my idea is get people who usually don't get involved in leagues, because they aren't fast enough and don't want to ruin races for other people. Something more for casual racers, but with some organization.
@Mustang - Thanks, but same points above applies here.
After some testing, i think i will do short tracks with STD and TBOs (perhaps no XRT) only. That way, the cars are controllable and fun to race. So 3x 20 minutes races could get a decent number of laps (15~20).

Thanks for the info, i'm browsing through there right now and it's a pretty cool site.
I'll look into it and make it work here and there.

Don't know about spdr (never used it, don't even know the url, i just saw on some others signatures), but i plan on making it official here.
@hp999 - I'm planning on late-may, sundays afternoon GMT, which is the most accepting timetable world-wide. I like the idea of STD, TBO and FOX.
@codehound - I registered for your club, but i haven't managed to find time during the week to drive with you guys before the races. Restricted cars are fine and very driveable, but it's something else to check (install a inSim to check) and something else that may go wrong (disbalanced cars). I might check it, but i don't think it's really necessary at this point.
I will do some testing and i should post a revised schedule during the next couple of days. If most interested guys approve, we will go with it.

Definetly, i totally agree with you. If someone has a PB and then in the drive drives 5s faster constantly, that person will be disqualified.
@TFalke55 - Okay, i see, i haven't considered that, but i can understand what you mean. I guess i will accept your suggestion and drop that event all togheter. I hadn't considered drafting on the oval in the BF1.
@xfirestorm - I can look at the PBs stored there, no need to be hotlap uploads. My idea is to make an avarage time and balance it by it. Suggestion on combos is accepted.
@jeremysmith - I agree, which is why i avoided the single-seaters apart from the FOX, which in WE1 is not so bad to handle and you got the idea right, is to provide a safe enviroment for people who doesn't have the time, skills or talent to keep up with the faster aliens.
Perhaps staying in the GTI/TBO classes is a better idea ?
Oh and that BL4 and AS8 look awesome to run, we will have to run those after the new patch is released.

@Nicce and everybody who asked :
I was aiming at around +6s off the WRs, i was checking PBs, and it seems to be something doable. But it depends on the combo of course, i was thinking about measuring more than one actually. Something like : AS3-GTR, GTI-BL1 and TBO-FE2 (which seems to be popular enough) and if you aren't fast as hell in these, you are in.
But basically, as long as you drive clean, the exact PBs-WRs difference won't matter ALL that much.
@TFalke55 - It's still an analysing process. Why the BF1-KY1 is a bad idea ? I reckon the BF1 is quite a beast, but on the oval, it can be tamed, do you expect major wreckage ? About less races, i agree, but i throw in some suggestions. I accept more suggestions aswell.
@jeremysmith : Sorry, but i really don't understood. Can you put some examples in ? I guess after 10 hours of work, my mind doesn't work aswell.
@everyone else : Let's make this happen then. Start in the last week of may-early june, sounds good ?

Small League for Slower Drivers
Hello everybody,
This idea spawned in this topic and now let's see if there is any interest.
The idea is to have a small league, where slower drivers (whether beginners, veterans who doesn't have time to practice or just talentless folks, such as much) can drive against people on a similar-ish skill level (it's impossible to have everybody doing the exact same lap times, but i guess the slower guys will agree that being lapped at every single race, isn't the most fun thing ever).
So, to enter this league, you apply and your PBs online will be reviewed and if you're too fast, then i'm sorry, but you're out, because there are tons of leagues where fast people can drive against fast people.
I know the usual answer is "practice, try harder and get faster", but practice requires time, which is not always available and some folks (again, me) just seem to be slower.
So, my suggestion :
- Rounds be consisted of 3 x 20 minutes races, with random grid in the first race and reversed in the next 2.
- Sundays afternoon GMT (something like 4:00PM GMT or 5:00PM) so that people from different timezones can race togheter.
- Evolving cars and tracks (starting Small and slow and getting bigger and faster)
- Simple rules, spun someone, let them by, got them damaged, wait by them in the pit, don't do reckless driving
Combos Suggestion :
- AS1R - XFG / XRG
- SO2R - RB4
- SO1 - FXO
- FE2R - XRT
- FE4 - XFR / UFR
- WE1 - FOX
- AS3 - GTR
- KY1 - BF1
Suggestions are welcomed, and of course, please let me know if you have interested in racing in this. Otherwise, there's point in hosting it.
This is just an idea, because not everybody has what it takes to be a alien driver.

My idea would be set up something like a small league.
Set up a day/time and have some races there. Perhaps 3x20 minutes racing, without qualy and random grids.
Cars and tracks, it would be build from slow/small to fast/bigger.
so start with something like AS1R and XRG and work all the way up to KY Long with the GTRs.
Or something like that.

I've been thinking about this for a while, and this thread (and especially this last post) seem to make me think i'm not the only one.
Is there any interest, for a league for slower drivers, something like.. if you PBs are < X (insert time here), then you're accepted.
I ask, because, i don't have much time for LFS, about.. 2 hours a week, tops, nowdays. And the leagues seem to be filled with guys that are much more talented (i know practice isn't everything) and have more free time.
But that doesn't mean, that slower driver can't have fun, as long as they all run in the same level.
I have a server i can open for this (not 24/7 though).
Is there interest ?

Great news, Scawen, more track possibilities are always a good thing.
So, i guess anyone planning a league, can now worry about new tracks.

I dunno, i liked the game.
Only about 2 hours (hoping to do another 2 tonight, let's see), but as a game, it pleases me.
The look and sounds is obviously top-notch, where the physics are obviously not. But i like the more arcade-ish play, it's a fast-paced fun game.
I haven't tried it online, but so far, so good. I don't feel ripped off or anything, so, that's good enough for me.

Sorry, but i can't race on saturdays.

Cool race to watch. Quality of the image could've been better, but nonetheless very enjoyable to watch.
The fanfare when you complete a level was supposed to be very different from the rest, it was supposed to sound goofy. But i see that more than one person thought it was too different, perhaps i should've kept more close to the rest.
Anyway,
In order to try and boost up the sales a little bit, i am giving an extra gift in the In the Walls of Eryx package.
A track that was written for, but never made it into the game, or the album for that matter. Now it is available, free of charge to all that bought the album, and to anyone who buys it from now on.
The track is called "Beloved Earth" and it wasn't used because it was too happy, and it didn't fit the mood of the game too well.
Also, i've now set a bandcamp profile to make the sales easier and faster : http://tibone.bandcamp.com
Be sure to drop by, if you want to, and you can also listen to the new track.
Thanks.

Well, from my part, i can say that i knew it wasn't his design, and that is a beautiful work anyway.
But his designs (like that lastest FZR for his team) are also impressive.
Anyway, it's good to see so manu good skins being made and shared with the community.

Congrats on the awesome job and many thanks for the release.
Merry X-mas.

Try hosting a session with the dedi server.
And see if the server crashes, might be useful to find out. Have you tried hosting the game in the other machine? If so, it's the same result ? Are you running a firewall/av program? Have you tried disabling it just to test the lan play ?

Thanks for the comment.
I fixed the bug on Level 9, along with several minor fixes and improvements (mute button, restart level, save game, etc).

Knife!
(That was my first thought with the team name, aswell).
gourgeous car, kiste!
the lines flows around it, really nice.

Fantastic skin, mate.
I used to race that car in a GTR² league.
Nice to see it come to life in LFS.
Thanks.
