http://taxigamer.com/ some nice HD screengrabs on there, seems like his site went berserk with all the traffic so he had to outsource them, try downloading the videos for 720p mp4 files.

If I remember right Fox is one of the keyboard driving Italians, so he got ABS/TC in every car. Some of them took part in GPC, they where always very fast in qualifying but a pain to drive against in the race since they could brake later then anyone else and sometimes accelerated not as fast out of slow corners as you would expect.

Faster direct link (hopefully)

I would rather see him fixing the netcode once and for all, don't get me wrong I can't wait to test some rainy weather with the f16/1800 or the abarth but it would be so much more important to get the netcode right to finally kickstart the multiplayer part. Right now it is pretty empty again unless you are part of some special "blessed" group of people who beta test new tracks and cars.

Yes the netcode got better in 1.1 but there still are ghost collisions and the over sensitive damage doesn't help either. Look at iRacing/lfs for example even with a constant ping of 170-200ms I still dare to race a lot closer then I ever would in netkar under perfect conditions.

Anyone got any promotional/refferal codes? Has to be available for a reactivating account.

Going to take the plunge and start Racing (i) again.

There is a special for unused accounts right now, pay 1 month get 3, offer ends 31.10.2010. Check your emails you should've got an email with some news about the mazda/williams and a promo code.

I used that one before my subscription ran out, felt quite nice, can't remember what kind of times I did with it but was pretty competitive.

edit: at least I think I've used it, if it's undrivable I probably named it wrong ^^

Quite interesting recent antivirus comparison by a neutral test lab (at least I hope they are :razz, some surprising findings.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/3966 ... re-Group-Test-Q3-2010-v18

Incompatible Test-patches! The X Test-patch batch provided probably the best racing I ever had in LFS, the crashers and whiners didn't bother to test them so we had full grids of people who actually knew how to race a car, no matter where you started you could count on getting through t1 and have a great battle until the very end. Extra bonus was seeing Scawen in his LX4 every now and then, good old times.

edit: I miss pallu, was good fun trying to beat him when the LRF class was still on ctra, Hyperactive too, tweaked LX was a blast, The Moose always fair and clean racing against him and probably 50 other people I forgot now.

Well I guess you forgot about your post full of accusations and sarcasm on the top of this page already again (plus some more from other people on the previous page), and yes I think that was low... I can't speak for the organizing team but for me it is pretty clear that everybody had a chance to check the rules before any signups or the race even started. When a vocal minority complained about their disconnects they decided to be nice and have a look at those disconnects, I never saw the admin state anything else then removing those who happened in the last sector, which was also mentioned in the 24h TS on raceday already.

Organize your own 24h race if you think you do a better job, they mentioned it a few times already. it was their first and you can't expect everything to run flawless. All that bitterness won't help anybody and just sheds a bad light onto the people involved.

A new low point for inex? You guys knew the rules so suck it up or don't take part at all, can't believe what I'm reading here.

This (german) community tries to organize a nice race, even bothers to get some prices for people to win and looks into disconnects even though it was clearly stated in the rules what happens beforehand and you still complain? (I wouldn't even call that complaining any more, this whole "discussion" is well below any form of good manners)

Damn I still am subscribed to this thread, stop bumping it my heart is racing every time I see the LX8 on top of my subscription list. :weeping:

you could try http://www.streamtransport.com/

Yep, I think the Brits complain on a very high level, I'm always watching the whole thing on the BBC since the pre-race build-up actually got some interesting bits in it and the commentary isn't as bad as Heiko Wasser and Kai Ebel for example, both manage to ruin the german f1 broadcast all by themselves, most of the time you're happy you get a break every now and then when they do commercials in the worst possible moment. Don't get me started on our Swiss commentator I don't even know his name, sometimes I got the feeling he takes a nap during the race since he constantly manages to miss all the action.

I'm planning to stream some/or maybe all of my stints via livestream.com if anybody wants to spy/laugh at me you're welcome to join on http://www.livestream.com/lxo

Ahhhh, I was in the wrong news then. Thanks a lot, maybe add that to the first post so it's easier to find.

edit: yes reno/D1ggA I was looking there http://www.team-alternate.de/? ... &id=6310&typ=news didn't check for another news post.

Quote from [FAR]D1ggA :

Thats what I see in the news item, I've sent an email with our final lineup and 4 correct names. It shouldn't be a cache issue tried to clear that already.

Quote from CarstenH :

For all updates and other things you have to write a E-Mail to [email protected]

Also for questions and so on...

As I said it was right at some point, I wrote that email already a week ago, so should I send the same email again then?

Our Teamlineup is wrong right now, it was updated correctly at some point but now it's back to only zapphord and me.
