i think the CTRA gt2 (current gt3) would be good, and maybe even incpororate this to the endurance day idea.

Teamspeak is a great idea, i can provide spots on mine if you have trouble getting one.

Sounds good.


If you do multiclass I would recommend a form of GTR with TBO. Or tbo and std.

I am planning with 5 to 8 servers total So there is plenty much room for some cool combinations of car classes.

Hi racers,

I already announced, that I am working on a new public server project called "Pure Racing". I got stuck since i realized, that i was working on a CTRA copy... I personally don`t want it! CTRA was good when it was alive, but we should keep the system in good memories.
Even with a chance, that a CTRA copy would be successful, i wanted to create a new place for racers, where the racer gets what the racer wants!
But what do you want? Tell me and i will rework my concept!

But first of all before you vote, you should read the following notes what i mean with the given options:

Mutliclass Servers:
Mutiple car classes on one server. For example TBO+LRF. So only logical combinations of car classes... BF1+STD would be pure nonsense and will never be on my system!

Singleclass Servers:
Only one car class per server. For example: I will provide a fixed number of servers and a vote decides which car classes will be provided for the next period between those votes. I though about a month as a period.

Track change periods:
There you go decide, how long you wanna drive on one track before the track changes!

Monthly events:
If you like monthly events like the endurace day on CTRA, you may click this option. I have some crazy ideas for it

Teamspeak:
I had the idea to set up a teamspeak server for you, you think its a good idea?

Ok, thats all for first i hope for a lot of votes to get informations what you like. If i have more questions, i will ask for it!

Hotlaps should only be valid when its driven between the white lines. I mean no apron, no green fields on KY3, no excessive curbing... simply !2 wheels must stay on track!, that is usual in all motorsport series.

I know that all tracks need an update then, but i just wanted to give my 2 cents on it

To moving starting point and choosing tyre temps: Please NO!!! Hotlapping should show us the fastest driver under GIVEN CONDITIONS and if you give them tools to make it more individual, you may destroy the hotlapping mode significantly. All should have the same conditions, thats the point.

To place AC objects in HL mode: Mhhh, nice idea for training. May be a good thing for comparing braking points and so on.

The only thing i would like to have is a direct comparisation tool ingame.... so that we can load 2 hotlaps and we can see two ghost cars. Sure its possible via HL analyzer, but its better to see directly on track.

I've moved the Windows Aero crash discussion into Technical Assistance.

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=74512

It's very unlikely to be test patch related. If it does turn out to be a reproducable LFS problem then I'd like to know about it, of course.

Seems to be a rare nVidia bug... I have the same too, but i have a workaround for it: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1597287#post1597287

It occured when i upgraded my GPU from GTX 260 to GTX 460. But after this workaround i have no problems anymore.

I have a workaround for this, had the same problem:

Right click on your LFS.exe -> Properties
Then go to the compatibility tab and activate following settings:
- Disable visual themes
- Disable desktop composition

With these settings the whole Aero will be deactivated when you start LFS and as a benefit: More FPS

I asked for it a few pages before:

Can we have more object types like curbs, 200-150-100-50m signs... just stuff for our new racing tracks

Hi Scawen,

this update is pretty cool, but the new possible configurations need more placeble objects like curbs, 150-100-50m signs, bumpers (like in Kyoto chicanes)....
Maybe in a spinoff discussion? I would make a list with suggestions then.

Hi racers,

i am sorry to tell you that the testing will be postponed by a few days due a few private problems.

Hi,

i have to tell you that i need more time to solve my private problems.
Excuse me for waiting longer than expected.

Hi racers,

i am sorry to tell you that the testing will be postponed by a few days due a few private problems.

Updated first post

Test week will be up from 14th to 20th February! Keep informed here if you are interested

Quote from SFynx :

good luck with it and I hope the servers will allways be full, so when I sometimes want to race GTRs I dont have to have 6 zillion points which take 2 years to get

RIGHT! Simply follow the rules ^^

Quote from SparkyDave :

While advertising your server here may be great for you, why oh why must there be swear words in everything nowerdays, even the slogan? Maybe a better slogan could be "Hosted by children, for children" or "Immature racers swear more" ?

So no Arieo running on these servers? that will make a welcome change

SD.

Airio will be running on the servers, but mostly as a data grabber and admin tool. I made it as silent as possible, so you will not notice that Airio is running while racing. For those who want their "Good/Top Split" or any other spam, they are free to activate those options.
Airio is a great tool for automatic administration. For example track change, automatic restarts and the ban tool is simply awesome. OK, the spam sometimes is not really useful, but for that we have config file

I personally want that racing is the main goal. Not to race for idiotic points. Sure, there will be an E-Penis on a website, but it will be a bit different from that you already know

Hi racers,

i am proud to announce, that a new public server project is coming! Its not an evolution or a revolution, i just want to provide you pure racing. And thats the name: PURE RACING! The idea of Pure Racing is to give you the freedom to drive what you want... without driving thousands of laps before to gain licences to unlock cars you like. And thats the slogan: "Get in your f**kin' car and drive!"

For more information you may have a look on www.trekkerfahrer.com
If there are news, i will add them on the teaser page and in this post!

Grand Opening: When its done!

*Update 1*
Now i decided to give you more informations about the servers and their car classes. Additionally the race lenghts:
All Races will be about 10 minutes long with one additional lap, so about 10-12 minutes.

Server 1:
XFG+XRG (+VWS)

Server 2:
LX4+TBO+LRF

Server 3:
NGT+GT2+GTR

Server 4:

I don't like the new car class, because they need a too high amount of training for me. I would prefer the old ones just with addition of the small GTRs (UFR and XFR).

Quote from GeForz :

Hmm I don't know about it... I think I like the old one better because its "sunnier"

Anyways, I did some comparision shots:.....

Good point, i wrote it down on my todo list. I think i will make the grass textures a bit more bright and try to get more sand in it.

Quote from Inouva :

Plz. add more pics, with only one, we cant see all the work....

No donwload from me till more pics

Added...
For your note: You can backup your original files, so that you can undo all changes if you dont like it...

Hello there,

i ever had a look at Fern Bay because it originally looks shit. Now i finished my personal view how Fern Bay should look like. The track got a huge texture update, which improves most areas at Fern Bay much, so that it has a more modern flair. The track feels more wide now and the contrast between grass/gravel and the road is better visible.

Enjoy

Can someone upload it at LFS Database for me? My connection is really slow and it cancels always.

Or better:
Forbid it simply due LFS itself
Maybe checksums, shape control.... whatever

@Scawen: please do anything in your might against those mods, because they are making your realistic racing simulator simply unrealistic!

Quote from Nadeo4441 :

I know this has been suggested

So after a pretty long conversation with my friend, I decided to write this post. I was asking him why he finds dirt2 a better game than "LFS". He clearly answered: atmosphere(feeling). He was playing LFS for a while, and he was bored by the oldness of graphics. I also know that LFS is not intended to be a "screenshot generator", but come on, nobody will buy a game with no effects whatsoever. I'm taking about sparks, better shadows... well dx10 level stuff.
My point is that if Scavier wants to sell LFS to a larger group of people, not just HC simracers, it needs better atmosphere.
Now, I don't know exactly why I wrote this, and I know it won't propably change anything, but I'm just curious about the community's opinion on this.

Do you think that graphics shoud be a higher priority than physics or content?
(I'm not saying that I want it that way, just curious about your opinions)

LFS is for simracers who want primerly a correct physics engine. The prime goal of programming LFS ist to be the best Online-Racing-Simulation.
I think when Scawen finished the physics, the graphical stuff will follow soon. He already said that the shadows are on his list and i think with real time shadows, the graphics will look a way better. Why do we need bump-mapping, motion blur, hdr and so on? The graphics are good as they are i think... especially with the high-res texture pack by Electric Kar (name right?).

thx all
