I guess there is a setting to adjust how many posts are viewed each page?

EDIT: Yes, there is :-)

Quote from andRo. :

Hmm, cool, thanks!

EDIT: It's not working for me though. I only see a folder with BC name, but there is no video. I guess it's still finishing it up?

Yeah, it says there are some hours left unfortunately.

or Benq G2420HD :-)

It should be on-demand shortly. Just waiting for livestream to finish preparing the clip. Check it out at www.livestream.com/tommy24!

I managed to find the file of the broadcast. Uploading now, so stay tuned for on-demand from Round 1!

Sorry if I confused you, I represent and work closely with Kenneth as his manager and marketing director. Thank you for your time reading it, have a great evening.

Hi,

The 16 years old Canadian Kenneth O'keefe made it into the Pro series this year. Kenneth is racing both in real life, on iRacing.com where he recently qualified 4th in the Phoenix race as a guest driver in the World Championship as well as here on Live for Speed at some occasions.

If you want to follow Kenneth O'keefe, be sure to visit his twitter (www.twitter.com/k_okeefe), which will be updated though his races. First race up is tonight, so stay tuned!

To support and follow Kenneth through his career both in real life and sim-racing, please join his facebook-page: www.facebook.com/kokeefe73 where you will be kept up to date with everything around Kenneth, as well as on www.kennethokeefe.net.

Starting with you?

Was gonna say the same But I wanna be first!

Quote from MJL1966 :

Fewer ass hats on this track, but that is where I met my last straw. AA demo is even worse.

I'm surprised at the number of ppl who responded here. Shocked, actually. Typical response to noob hat throwing a hissy is "don't let the door hit your ass on the way out the door."

Childish, yes. Warranted, absolutely. I took the time to prepare. And got screwed anyway.

You want new blood in this game? Police your fellow veterans. There is a split crowd here. There are the very cool vets like mcs mad max who use their brake pedals and say encouraging things. (And ... this is important... manage to get past me without tossing me off the track. Imagine that) Then there are the "others" who go out of their way to haze new drivers. Maybe that's the culture. Maybe that's the initiation process that works. But it is 180 out from the spirit of this forum and the documents describing how you expect this community to behave.

Yes, their are ass hats in every online gaming community. But with racing, it's far more damaging. A good race requires a very high degree of cooperation and it only takes one or two to ruin it for everyone. One could argue that a beginner like me is one of those who ruin it for others, but there is a difference between trying to get with the program and deliberately punishing those with less skill. Trying real hard to improve? Screw you, I'm going to run you off the track until you're as fast as me.

Some argue that new drivers should practice off line until they get their lap time up to a certain level. The problem there is lap speed is only about 40% of the equation. Racing with the pack is a whole different skill set, far more important and only obtainable by driving on line. The unavoidable truth is new drivers are going to have a learning curve and the only way to get through it is to get on the track with others. This is why we have clean driving rules - so people don't run slower drivers off the track.

Some could also argue that "pros" who don't know how - or don't have the discipline - to control their speed and line to compensate for slower drivers aren't as good as they think they are. I've found that taking my foot off the gas and even using the brake pedal on a straight to stay behind a slower driver works great. Sooner or later, you will catch them in a position where you can pass safely. Patience is a skill, too.

What we really need is a graduated track system. There is that first round of skill improvement where you go from spending most of your time in the dirt to a good lap with a clean line and a time of about 1.45 or more. Then there's 1.40 and then the elusive 1.30. Tracks set up for three or four well-known milestone lap times with qualifying and accumulated driving time requirements would help new drivers work their way up without getting in the way of the pros.

There are quite many bad demo drivers out there, unfortunately. But not all fast people drives others off the track. I'd suggest you to buy S2 and try out some league-racing. The racing there is some of the best, where drivers are penalized if they drive unsporting. These series are usually driven by fast drivers though, but I am pretty sure there are people out there who can assist you with setups and practicing. If you want some tips, you can just throw me a PM.

Quote from PMD9409 :

Matters what information you sent them. For mine I sent max amount of information as possible, and put average viewer status at 100+. They were hooked instantly I guess and accepted it.

So did I, I've written it all nicely, and done the same. While the other channel I barerly wrote anything, and they accepted it out of nothing :-P Quite unconsistant.

Quote from PMD9409 :

You can just get it approved to have unlimited viewers. I did it for my channel when I started doing iRacing DWC stuff. Took no time.

Talking about Livestream btw.

I have tried 4 times. They have denied it every time, while the other channel I had they accepted it by no time at all as well. Really weird :S The channel I actually got viewers on, they denie, while one I had 0 on, they accepted *facepalm* Might get a new channel for the next stream.

I'll include some of the livestreams on the stream

Quote from Starbert :

I hear no sound in the stream....

There is no stream up yet.

Thanks to all who have sent in their info and files! :-)

Quote from Fuse5 :

Xsplit on the other hand will totally be worth its price

Yeah, it is great. I'll buy it straight away after the race :-)

Please also include all drivers driving for what team, what number and what class in the e-mail to me, thanks! :-)

Quote from cargame.nl :

Livestream = crap quality but hey its your call.

own3d doesnt give me some of the features that I need in livestream's studio, unfortunatly.

Nice! Grats!

Quote from troy :

I doubt it's worth 400$, as cargame already mentioned, why didn't you go for own3d? They stream in nice quality and you get some beta version of an overlay/director program when you sign up. Danny Engels did some really good looking broadcasts with it.

Check his channel for some examples: http://www.own3d.tv/live/8180/HuskyGoalie

Didnt know about that extra program. I am using it for livestream now, and it works awesome. So the stream will be at my regular livestream channel at www.livestream.com/tommy24, but will be using that program and probably order it (XSplit). Thanks for the help!
