Quote from Scawen :

The option is called invert look or something, I think W9 returned it back to default which some people think is the wrong way round.

Yeah it was turned back to default, noticed that last night too. The option is called "Invert right button look :" btw

Quote from Scawen :

Connection bars are not drawn if they would obscure tyre info

Jus wondering... why is it not possible to just disable the connection bars? Or is it, and am I blind?

Quote from Shotglass :

old eyes

'nuff said
Nah just kidding As the movie was a quicky, just for fun I didn't really pay attention to readability and such, sorry


PS The line says: "smells indeed, but that's not a fart"

Thanks very much James, th, and Cyber moeders!

And Richard - Thanks for putting up a link to our website. Our links and contact page is still under development but I'll make sure a dba link comes on it as soon as it's finished.

Quote from Shotglass :

bit too quick to read but otherwise its great

Maybe try rewatching it, while focussing on just one car at a time.

Youtube link added

A stupid small movie clip I once made as an extra for after a team movie we were making at the time... but... the actual movie was never finished, and these skins are now obsolete, so I thought I'd put it to use here now as a stand-alone version

In the clip you can see us as we try to line up before the last turn in order to create a nice shot for the team video...

Hi-res version available for download here.

Youtube version being processed as we speak, though Im not sure if the message will be clear in that Youtube crap quality

Hope you enjoy

Just a small note regarding registering on our website:

If you already had an account on our old forum, you don't need to create a new account. We've been able to use the data tables of the old forum for the login system of our website

So just try to login with your old account (if you think you have one) and/or look in the members table here:
http://www.1stracing.nl/v2/memberlist.php
before creating a new account.

Great to see many people registering though! We're working hard to get the extra registered-members-functionality online soon

Quote from Victor :

hi all,

The default hostname of LFS World has temporarily been changed to lfsworld.com instead of lfsworld.net. This is because lfsworld.net is moving registrar one of these days and as such may have a little period of unavailability. But lfsworld.com will keep working.

just so you know

Does this also mean that .net pubstats links will not work for a few days?

Quote from felplacerad :

Traxxion (& co.), you know FLP loves you.

Fred Loves Us/m :lovies3d:


Thanks very much for the kind words everyone!

As from the first of april 2007, 1ST » Racing is 2 years old!

We've also chosen that big day to introduce a new and more professional look for the team. This new look is a drastic change from the initial red/black/white look of the team. It includes a new set of skins with completely new color settings and a brand new website that's adapted accordingly.

The skins have been made by our very own skinning master Teemu 'Teaz-R' Vedenoja. We've specifically chosen for a very clean design which results in a more professional look. The new design is also focussed on an optimal display of the sponsor names. We're very happy with the new looks and hope you like it too!

The new website design was developed in-house, by Casper 'Kaspur' Roescher and myself. Apart from a news page and forum, it features a very nice login system with a lot of extra's for people that register on our website. You can choose your own avatar, post in our shoutbox and forum, and use the private messaging system. Future planned features are an online laptime competition for our registered members, stats comparison, and many more.
The member page has been updated too, with photo's, extended car and track statistics and other info about our drivers. In the mean time we're still working on a lot of other features for the website, but after two weeks of small scale public alpha testing (:razz we think the website's now ready to be shown to the big public. So if you're interested, come and have a look:



On our news page you can also find a nice article written by Albert 'Appie' Terrahe with an overview of what's happened with regards to team members, league participation and our achievements of this past year.

So we're looking forward to seeing you as a registered member on our website, or otherwise: see you on the track for our third year of LFS racing!

Thanks, René

PS The website is optimized for IE7 and FF, feel free to let us know when you find any bugs
PPS Finally I'd like to thank our sponsors Virtual Dynamix (website hosting) and Gservers (race- and TS server hosting) for their continuous support!

Is that just a huge car or am I watching child porn here?

Quote from Scawen :

OK, I've just changed it so that the four spare bytes at offset 24 now contain "WE1R" (an ascii string with no NULL terminator).

Would it be possible to do the same in the mpr files Scawen? Or even the LFSW code (eg. 001) would be very handy!

Quote from james12s :

is this still running for 1 and scond the site doesnt load

This thread is over a year old :P
Anyway:

Just found a strange name bug which I haven't seen mentioned before. The screenshot should tell the story... FiredUp and 15 - R.Blauwhoff are the same person yet he's mentioned with those two different names. (FiredUp in chat and connection list, 15 - R.Blauwhoff over the car and in the standings list)

Replay attached too.

(using v5)

Quote from tombarlin :

Scawen will at this point be smashing his computer to little tiny tiny pieces

I think this is a wrong conclusion... there's only a few of those "second-life" servers and there are a hundreds of normal race servers. For a valid comparison of racing versus "cruising" you should compare the total popularity of all race-orientated and all cruise-orientated servers.

Think of it this way: if there were only 3 race-orientated servers running, those would be packed all day too...

Quote from Hyperactive :

EDIT: and I still think the latest sound patch was complete crap. I have no idea how it got out but if people really liked it I guess you could say it proves a point. I say it was an easy way out to get "better" sounds, you can say it was a great improvement, as much as you could do while keeping it compatible.

Easy to solve that. Make the DaveWS soundpack default in the next update.

Quote from Sketchyrollin564 :

right, and if your around 5'8 or taller (im 5'11), you will notice that driving with sun visors (unless its that bright) are a pain in the arse, and just get in the way of your field of vision

Seriously, have you ever watched real-life racing? Windscreen banners can cover up to half of the windscreen area. Couple of examples:

+1 for Tweak's suggestion. It's simply more realistic.

The story line seemed a bit random to me, but sweet mother of Jesus.... the editing is superb, the synchronisation excellent, effects amazing.. I don't even want to know how long it took to make this...

Just wow.

Respect man.

Have a look at DaveWS's sound pack:
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=19179

It's the best!

Hmmm I don't give a damn on which server I'm racing actually The car filters and track sorting features do the work just fine for me!

I would rather see the LFS World "Live alert" / "Buddies list" integrated in the LFS Main menu, with a direct join option next to it...

Way to go, you just bumped a 2 months old thread. And your caps-lock key got broken in the process...

I've noticed this in a league race last night... I decided to do a late pitstop and changed my settings from R3's to R2's to be able to push in the last couple of laps.
When I came in for the pitstop it changed tyres, but in the end I also had to wait for "Setup Changes".

I think this is not realistic, because the tyres had already been mounted. I can understand when changing wing settings or camber settings lengthens the pitstop time, but in my opinion whether the imaginary pit crew mounts R3's, R2's or R4's, it shouldn't make a difference for pitstop duration.

A definite +1 (to Hyperactive's suggestion) from me. Excellent idea!

Reminds me of the good discussion we had here: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=12400
