I think we have to 'Allow to Register' each person that comes in Mika. If you made the option for people to register on their own, I think this might be easier.

Couldn't find the link at last minute, so I just put up v0.1. Thanks for the link :up:
6h of Westhill: Final Grid & Pre-Race Notes

Final Grid is as follows:



Pre-Race Notes/Reminders:

Just like I posted before the 12 hours of Kyoto GP race, I want to put down some notes here to remind all the teams of what to prepare for.
  • Read through our rules and make sure you understand everything regarding the race procedures and behaviour.
  • You can communicate with other teams and admins in the MoE IRC channel on GameSurge @ #moe. If you have a complaint during the race, contact any admin present via the LFS Forum through PM, or on IRC. If it is a crash complaint, you need to have a replay handy, and submit your complaint within 1 hour.
  • Admins and other teams may also be on our new Teamspeak server. IP: 85.25.146.202:2007 - PW: moe
  • You can use Race Spectator v0.2 to connect to the MOE server and spectate the drivers with a simple bird's eye view. Relay Host: lfs.net | Relay Port: 47474
Good luck, and safe racing!

And you all think 'normal' drifting is kept to drift circuits safely out of harms way? Whatever happened to illegal racing, drifting, drag, etc...

It's very ludicrous to count this as being dangerous, and give it such a hard time... Especially to call this a 'fad'?? :rolleyes: This forum couldn't get any more conceited.

Quote from squidhead :I make a comment and suddenly we're back on topic of the video...
Not if I can help it...

Yes, it doesnt have to do anything about the video, and as a matter of fact the video is not even worth bothering to watch...
but saying "don't see any problem with that" in a topic about killing people by driving is not the kind of comment you want to make, now if you were to put "Ok, now let's talk about the video" right before the text of your comment, I wouldn't get irritated, since I would understand what exactly you meant

Still, everyone ranting here about real saudi drifting is completely off topic, and totally ruining what is just a simple video post.

And no need to get on the ego bandwagon and start talking about "oh learn to properly drift", or "Oh the video isn't worth watching, because I call myself a pr0 drifter who makes better movies".

Personally, I like watching any video of people driving a sim with their steering wheel. Always a pleasure to watch.

I have just gone through everyone's posts to check for the correct format.

It is very important that everyone has the proper format for each driver. Remember, please do not put any dashes, periods, country abbreviations, or extra spaces in each line. Also, if you add a driver and/or reserve, just add it to your original post (to keep a complete list) and make a new post to tell us.

The proper format is simple:

LFS Username, Real Name, Country

Please go through and double check all of your drivers, to make sure the information is correct. This will help avoid any issues during the race, when the tracker needs to be fixed.

Phil, you may want to correct the list on your side .

Quote from NotAnIllusion :Amagad Hes Having Fun Lets Flame Him Lol!!!11

I agree, he's having fun, I don't see why people have to judge him as drifting. This style of drifting is way different, and lots of fun

In order to be fast and error free in LFS, you gotta use 270 degrees, paddle shifters, and 2 pedals. Simple as that.

I'd use other control types as a challenge sure... but it is just not competitive enough in LFS, and not fun at all because of that. If people using h-shifters can be competitive, then I'd be using mine more often. Until then, speed and consistency is the only way to win

(I use h-shifter in singleplayer, when I just want to dick about)

Quote from fujiwara :He cannot be dethroned if he's not playing, well at least thats what i think.

Yeah, biggie has retired from LFS. He probably will come back if he ever has interest in LFS again (or from a new version).

I like BMW simply because they've been progressing to be better and better each race. I root for them to win a race, they are no doubt the 3rd best team of the 2007 season.

Since BMW Williams, they haven't been as strong when they had Ralf and Montoya then...

So they've been picking up the pieces and building a nice car and a nice team I'd say. But McLaren and Ferrari will always be faster. I hope Renault gets back into the mix in 2008, kind of stupid seeing them run so poorly this year.

Batracer got a little ridiculous after a while, and still is...

We had lots of LFS community private games, but they were so boring and pointless. Batracer is a huge waste of time. Meh... stick to racing a simulation imo

Quote from SparkyDave :I cant get my head around that Tweaker, S2 users going to demo just to crash? sounds very odd to me. I mean how can you tell they are S2 users? and what do they have to gain?

I think your wrong when you say "a lot"

SD.

Well it is true

What I cant seem to get my head around is the fact that S2 licensed drivers always believe that once someone is licensed, they never go back to demo, and use their license as a safe haven from wreckers. Totally untrue.

I've heard quite a few (ok not "a lot") people say "lets go on demo" in a S2 server or teamspeak/ventrillo server.... I join where they are playing, and they are just wrecking people for a good laugh. Other times it is wrecker vs wrecker.

Quote from Bandit77 :replays? is this an argument? you would "record" the "world" your in. spectators would probably see the real race.

-1 to that too.

I have the utmost confidence that a suggestion like this would never appear in LFS. What you are saying is that LFS will need to handle 2 completely different instances of people racing online in one server. Also further detaching people from an online experience, and less of a realistic feel when the actual race is in progress. Quite frankly, if you are so upset about people coming on the track and getting in the way, you don't need to go and suggest that they be 'invisible' or impossible to collide with. Do we get to collect coins and power-ups too?

Watch out buddy, he dropped a banana on turn 3!

People getting in the way of your race is not that much of an issue to warrant this suggestion.

Sad thing is, a lot of S2 licensed users are going in and crashing people in Demo. I've caught a few. But there are lots that hide their name, it is all too easy

Quote from mcintyrej :Brilliant? . Although I did have a lot of fun driving and making! I was in the green FZR, totally level with Bawbag on the line in his FO8.

Not really impressed with the video myself, but hey, short production time, so what

But Jack replied to my comment about the fast playback....

Why don't you do it like all the other real vids, where one car goes, and the camera watches -that car-, and then the next.... etc. So you get a feel of how slow/fast each car is in different sections of the track. Then show the progress of the cars behind catching up. All pretty simple.

The video on Bathurst is a perfect example. And you don't need a music track in my opinion.

Quote from Krutch :As I said this is an old thread, so they raced their last season.

The chicane was left as it is. On friday several drivers where struggling to find a good line and one or two spinned their, but no incident happened in the race.

The best story of the weekend was the USA national anthem. Turned out that the guy who was supposed to sing the American and Dutch anthem only thought he had to sing the Dutch one. He didn't even knew the words for the American anthem. So the circuit announcer had a go at it:

Hahahaha, that is great!!!!

-1 for the suggestion entirely.

No invisible or transparent cars, invisible sessions, or anything of that nature please. Keep the track alive, and not suddenly have people off the track practicing in some invisible mode, or cars with no collision mesh. How would you have replays? LFS isn't in two worlds....
