When I started toplay LFS I came with the same suggestion up. Now after 1 year racing and after using TS with my teammates I have to say: "NOOOOOO WAY"
Most of the people are way to messed up and the whole thing would just be a playground for kids.
Just check all the writting of messages during the race, now imagine they have just to open their mouth........
It wouldn't be worth the work and time of the devs. There are a lot of other things to do.
That is a known bug on KY. We did have that during a DTM Race some months ago were one driver got kicked into the air on a straight.
I think there is somewhere a replay of it.
The last of one server gets the same amount of points as the first of the other one, thats odd
Why not giving for example the best cars of server 2 more points then the last of server one? To win on server 2 or 3 is a lot of work I would say but mostly the last on a server took more easy......maybe......just a thought
I for myself would love to see a XFG Silver server because I love to race that car. On the other hand I like also to race the TBOs from time to time, so to have two silver servers would be cool. On the other hand you might be right that there are not enough to fill up the two servers. One solution might be to have not just a track change on the silver server rather then a track+car change.
But I think the first step should be a try to have two servers.
I'm against a multi-class server. For example FE Club is a nice track to race with the XFG but to have the faster TBOs on it as well will make a mess out f it.
One thing I didn't figure out yet is the restart grid. Sometimes I'm in the middle of the field but finished second in the race before. Or I got swapped with someone behind me. Is this normal? Is that a thing of LFS or your system?
I agree with the Server 1 and a lot of guys with silver, gold or higher licence on it (I am one of them). The problem is that I love to drive the XFG so I join that server, even that it means that you have a bunch of guys who drive like nuts (even more tough with the random grid-strange-thing).
It would be great that we could get a server like "Server 1" for the higher licences. Those cars provide a lot of close and good racing
But thanks for all the work so far. It's a great addition to LFS
I'm a beginner in this area but what I can see so far I would say that C# is the best choice. For one thing that you can code standard windows programs and web application with the same basics of a language. And when you look at the pages you can see that more and more use ASP.
So, to start with PHP and so on would be stupid IMHO
I don't mean when the green light is coming rather when the "RESTART IN 3" appears. The reason is that you often wait like 5min till a race gets finally restarted on server and for me and I guess a lot of others do the same (you can see it when 1 car isn't moving at the start), I take a piss or get something to drink while the 50% of restart votes are together. In the moment it's waiting in front of the screen or every 5 sec. checking if it does start and thats pretty annoying. So what I mean is that, when the RESTART IN 3 shows up a loud sound (like a horn or even a voice) comes. So when you are not in front of the screen you can hear that the race is going to start. Of course can there be an option to switch it of
There are just a view Demo teams out there and a basic thing is that you et invited to join a team because the people in the team like you and you match to them.
So there is just one way to join a team and that is to race a lot on public servers and to meet a lot of racers and one day you get the "lucky call"
I think a system like we had in the last DTM season makes quite sense.
After the race it would be like we have just one big division. Everybody gets points (first pos the most and after each driver less, maybe with a gap between the divisions).
For the qualifying: Let's say the race starts at 20 UTC. All 3 servers would be open for the qualification at 18:30 for 1h. During that hour everybody can pop in to do the qualification.At 19:30 the qual will be done and the admins have time to set the starting grid which will be postet in the Forum.
We did it like this in the DTM and it worked good.
It might become quite interesting when one of the team driver is in division 1 and the other in division 2 for a race (pointwise).
