Karting? I might be interested.

Quote from james12s :

to me the line talking of abuse of the sim will offend certain people, you may not have mean it to come out that way

I see your point But that's why I purposefully put "abuse" between quotation marks, it wasn't meant to be offensive at all

Quote from tristancliffe :

Yes, I think you are. A lot of the time a functional design tends to look great, but CFD and FEA produces shapes (not just in F1) that are theoretically 'better', but rarely look nice.

Sometimes I think people think everything was always better in the past... I tend to think people that can't enjoy new techniques or looks, are too conservative..
Do know that I absolutely loved the F1 cars back in the 90's, the '95 benetton with the white rims being the most gorgeous example, but this is so sexy I could cry
In another ten years time, I'm quite sure I'll have another favorite that's even better... I suppose there's something to say for both preferences, but for me what's in the past is in the past; I live today


Edit:

Quote from ATic ATac :

I agree with you. This is 21st century and i love the way that cars look .

I´ve seen a F18 fighter really close and it´s the same feeling of air flowing allong the shape.

Wooo thanks! My thoughts exactly!

Quote from james12s :

oh another cruise basher, oh its mishues, not it is not, you are intitled to your views fine but dont go insulting people which is what you are doin

edit: though in all honesty a seperate drift section and a seperate cruise section would be nice but not for the ignorent and selfish reasons you are suggesting

Ho-ho-hoooly shit...? Please point me to the line where I'm insulting people?
Actually I'm suggesting to let cruisers and drifters live, be it in there own subforum where users that don't want anything to do with the non-racing side of the online racing simulator don't have to have anything to do with it - and vice versa. No more cruise bashing, no more drift wars, etc. Everyone happy?

Quote from AndroidXP :

Great idea! Just rename "Improvement Suggestions" to "Cruise & Drift goes here."
Talk about killing two birds with one stone

:ices_rofl

Been trying to hold my breath for a long time now, but it seems like we can't avoid this kind of stuff to happen to "our" supposed race sim forum... I think it's time for a subforum for the Cruisers and Drifters?

Pro: no more non-racing discussions where we (or let's start with I) don't want them...
Con: acknowledge the "abuse" of a supposed race sim.

[following is added from later posts]
Over the time it's become clear to me that this type of servers definitely won't dissapear if you don't support them. So I think it's time to make the decision to deal with them and navigate them to their own place, rather than to "ignore" them and watch the flame wars burn down the forum, and LFS' image along with it.

So what I'm suggesting is to let cruisers and drifters live, be it in there own subforum so users that don't want anything to do with the non-racing side of the online racing simulator don't have to have anything to do with it - and vice versa. No more cruise bashing, no more drift wars, etc. Everyone happy?

Thoughts?

Bah seems like I really am the only one who thinks nowadays F1 cars are the sexiest vehicles ever.

+1 for the slicks though.

Quote from Noccy :

Scawen, do u have active Dutch-speaking translators?

There are two: one Dutch and one Belgian. The translation is in progress

Pool 1: Great race until the final lap. Some moron :-X was cruising on the race line with a wrecked suspension... lost a certain podium place due to that. Still a better result than expected before the race, but I can't be happy.

Thanks for a nice race, everyone else!

Quote from Sponge :

I know it's not much of use but I had some spare time last week and started this "Team Holland" skin Just a skin for fun.. but if anyone wants it, i can make it public (although it's not finished yet).

That's cool Sponge
Maybe we can use it in Round 5: June 14th - FXR - Aston historic

Race results

Hello there,

I created this program initially for internal team usage, in order to keep everyone in the team updated about the league race results of every member. But by adding a variable here and there, the application should now be useful for other teams or league administrators too, so that's why the post here.

What this program does, is create a results table for any of your multiplayer replays in your replay folder - with one click of the mouse button. Another click of the mouse copies the table to the clipboard and sends you straight to your team's or league's forum. Now all you have to do is paste the table in the empty post field and click submit!

So if you're a league administrator, you can post race results fast and easy. If you're a team owner who likes to know what's going on in all the leagues your members are competing, you can distribute this small application to every one of them and tell them to post the results after a race. And finally the program can be used when you just like to see the results of a certain multiplayer replay fast and easy.

On MPR2UBB features a few options:
- Display various race result parameters:
- The start grid
- The car of the drivers
- The license name of the drivers
- The fastest lap time of the drivers
- The number plate of the drivers
- Penalties for the drivers
- Amount of pitstops per driver
- The handicap mass onboard
- The intake restriction
- Emphasise team members in the race results (using CAPITAL letters)

Please note that for the last option an LFS World IdentKey is necessary, since the team data is retrieved from the LFS World Team database. You can generate an IdentKey here. If you leave the team name field empty, no drivers will be emphasised.

Examples of output can be found on for example the league section of our team forum: here. (edit: or in the post below)

I attached some screenshots so you can see the interface.

Name: MPR2UBB
File: MPR2UBB.rar (134kb)
Requires .NET Framework 2.0
Download

If there are any questions or problems, please let me know. Hope you find it useful!

René

EDIT: forgot to mention that the application doesn't support any disconnects during e.g. an endurance race. If disconnections are dealt with by an external tracker, this application will show the wrong race results.

Quote from HassieCX650E :

Hoi ik ben Hans en nieuw hier, en kijk eerst ff rond .
(ik geloof dat ik hier verkeerd zit)

Goed weekend Hans

Welkom Hans Ben je al klaar met rondkijken? En wat zocht je precies?

Holy shit, just one day after I finished my own replay parser I find this thread :banghead:
Good job there though, some interesting solutions for problems I also bumped into!

Congratulations to Mercury for a super strong season; well deserved champions! Also congrats to #low-racing for keeping it tight until the last race and to n!faculty.seasonic for a damn nice classification while only racing half of the season!

Thanks to everyone above for congratulating us. It was a chaotic season with a hell of a lot of incidents for us and therefore we're happy with a podium place. Thumbs up from my side, to all my team mates for their commitment!

Last but not least I'd like to thank the administrators of the league for showing massive improvement over the season, with a flawless last event as a result. Thanks for giving us the possibility to race in this series, and hopefully see you next time around!

Thanks a lot everyone! See you on track soon! :checkered

Any chance for a replay of the start please?

Well done, guys. So kind of you to keep a mentally-challenged guy like Appie on the team for so long, too. ;]

He's not actually on the team, it's all in his head

Quote from sidi :

Thanks for the kind wishes everyone!

3rd anniversary for F1RST Racing!

01-04-2008 - We get this every year, but no, it's not an April fools joke! F1RST Racing celebrates another succesful year of simracing! Of course a celebration like this can't go unnoticed: F1RST Racing is changing colors: back to racing-red!

Founded on the 1st of april 2005, F1RST Racing has made massive improvements over the years. The third year was another one packed with milestones. Many great results have been achieved this year, on as well as off track.

Roescher and Terrahe put down great results in the final SimFIA DTM league with a second place and the championship title respectively. Roescher and Arends became Dutch National LFS champions, the team came second in the OLFSL final standings. We scored better results than ever in the Masters of Endurance league, the second place in the 24 hour race being the crown on all the hard work there, so far! In the new eSport-Racing league F1RST has been very active and succesful too, with some nice podium positions. Same goes for the STCC, Battle of the Teams, UXRL, Vedenoja's fight for the titanium license in CTRA etc. etc.

Then there was the community year-end awards, where F1RST Racing was one of the big winners with 6 nominations and 5 awards!

On the members side we've also done some great signings this year. J. Nieminen, A. Roque and M. Brunzel have helped raise the team's level higher than ever before!

All in all we can say it has been another fun and succesful year of racing. We're looking forward to the years to come!

Finally we'd like to say a big thank you to everyone involved in the administration of the various leagues out there. To everyone we met on the tracks this year, for some great races. To the members that - for various reasons - sadly had to leave the team this year, for their commitment and the fun we had.

Thanks everyone!

F1RST Racing
