Quote from jh89 :Kerkeen osallistua vain jos startti olis joskus 23:20-23:30 aikoihin Smile muute ei ehi

too bad, cant make schedule to fit everyone. Simply impossible

EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to mention that track and layout is now locked on the server. UFB is slightly faster, but can it keep all 17 laps?

While cars are only slightly faster, mastering the track might be more difficult!

EDIT: You might think how it would be more difficult? If you think it is easy, come and join to Round 35 and prove this argument as wrong!

Quote from Racon :Lol, I currently have eight servers running eight layouts, with only one track with a real name between them... and that's one of 9397's tracks Smile

IDEA! ( Lol, literally an idea!, stay tuned! )

119, but 109 atm are active. I was not satisfied to rest ten due too hard for suspension, BF1 could not manage to make even one lap.

Thank Scawen and Eric for making this possible! Waiting to see some updates for mentioned track areas Wink

Names are not hard, it simply comes with the name similar fashion as I make layouts. No plans, nothing copied. Just I get IDEA, then I make it, then I try it, and name comes after while. Smile

Quote from MicroSpecV :+1 because yes

But mhm, we are indeed an option. Just that with the demo servers... you get the same problem really. Plus the pickup is slow on the servers, especially rallyx these days (funny that rallyx was like the most active at the start of this year). Wait a while and you should get a few more drivers.
Or, join the FBM servers in the meantime... if that's your thing UM Rofl

No, Rallycross or full throttle seems to be the thing for me, or racing with layouts.
What's new?

Race







Round 34, Midnight racing in Europe with four racers and three different cars. LLM.Sobis ( LFSW: Sobis ) Hits the finish line first and takes 6th win on his Flat Out! Series! career. He led all thirteen laps and was the only one who did not repair his car. That risk did pay him well and was clearly on top alone.

2nd place is taken by fastest racer in Round 34. UM21 did select 1XF and proved that car indeed can challenge 1LX. However, forced repair on mandatory pitstop did cost somewhat 25 seconds and was stuck on behind other 1LX racer for several laps. Clear 2nd place for him though.

3rd place is taken by first timer, Jam 616 ( LFSW: Racon )! He did select same car as winner, but pace was simply not enough and ultimately he broke his car on 8th lap, as suspension "scattered to red". Forced repair, but still on podium. Well Done!

4th place is taken by PopnLoch ( LFSW: PopnLochNessMonster ). 3rd attempt did give a result and receives points, with double! His 1XR was clearly most fastest car in top speed, but overall pace was not enough. Also repairing the car in mandatory pitstop did cost him a podium. 1XR could easily survive all 13 laps.



That's all! 4/4 finishers, as expected! Now highlights!






The start grid. No one was even close to UM21's pole position time, and starts from 1st place. That will change pretty soon as green comes out. 1LX is far superior on acceleration!


After Turn 1.



On first laps, racing was real! Battle between 2nd-4th. Sobis escaped already!


Video about it!



UM21 finally escapes from Jam 616's 1LX. Ironically, Jam was really a jam! Congratulations! You are now known simply as Mr.Jam!


And so he goes straight to pitlane as well. UM21 is first guy to make mandatory stop.



PopnLoch manages to overtake Jam. Suspension is dead.


At same time Leader is doing also pitstop, Jam is going to make pitstop as well at same lap.


Almost PopnLoch managed to lead one lap, close call.




Due the night @ Europe, pretty sure he is partially right. ( EUROBEAT INFESTATION! )





TRIVIA

2 new guys managed to receive first points: Mr.Jam and PopnLoch.
Only four racers did involve to Round 34
Despite big gaps, all four cars were very equal to each other, at least on short races!
UM21 did hit pole and fastest lap, Sobis won the race and led every lap.
No !flip commands used.

Stats and points will be updated later ( When I am typing this, all of sudden I got task to do and I have to go off )

Thank you for participating this round! Next round will be on this week's Thursday @ 19:30 UTC. Cars and track absolutely random, selected number is 84, what it is? Stay tuned!

Getting banned in folkrace server
UnknownMaster21
S3 licensed
I admit I got annoyed because I got banned from that server because some other guys did crash to each other, while me driving cleanly. I got also banned because... well, no reason lol.

Have been in that server before with some good racing, seems not anymore possible. But it is not the server's fault or anybody else, just administration in that server getting butt hurt by someone poor racer making too harsh contact, making a result several racer being banned, and yet still quality there is not increased.

Funny, so... any good rallycross servers?

EDIT: Sorry, no .mpr because I already entered to another server, so no temp.mpr available. Let the fame speak instead of.

EDIT: I know Finnish rally server, but instead of doing point-to-point, I would like to see to do some laps.

Cars and track are now locked on server. See you on midnight!


EDIT: It has turn out, that all 4 cars are matched equally each other, which is very nice to see! 1LX being slightly faster compared to other cars. ( 0,4 seconds faster per lap time, making 2:43.1x while others 2:43.5x - 2:43.7x. However, 1LX seems to be hardest car here to nail the lap time )

Hmmmm... but MKRYDR absolutely has point, while this thread is indeed a bit rant.

Anyway, where you have been? ( You all ). Let's go already to the LFS! You too MKRYDR, come on! Let's not be sad now and make our moods even worse, I will do in some point a harsh but healthy attempt and report this in being locked.



COME OOON! Smile <--- ON ALREADY! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I go for layouts in single player, later.

By the way, due the several things happened in other servers, this server is getting people nearly all the time, so now, if you are looking some racing with full throttle with people on, here is now your chance.

Race






Amazing!

Several unexpected events happened in race of Round 33, but probably one expected, as Sobis hits 2nd time in his Flat Out! career Grand Slam! Ultimate performance did prove that all but one, could not really stand a chance. Sobis ( LFSW: Sobis ), representing as Last Lap Motorsports team, collects 15 points more and 12 points for his team. Pole Position, Fastest lap and every lap he led, he could not done really much better. Congratulations!

2nd place goes to UM21. Setup was slower than Sobis' set, and laptimes were nearly 1 second slower each. Only drafting could bring him to go sub 1:15. The fear of suspension wearing off was high for him, but no repairs needed. Due the mistakes by other racers, 2nd place is for sure good place to finish.

3rd place goes to R.Kardol. This racer's familiarly called as Rik, had some battles between UM21 and Willi on early laps, but pitstop with repairs selected on ruined his result for plausibly better position. However, due the mistakes by Y.Laprevotte and Willi, 3rd place is most likely a satisfaction for him. Podium is podium!

4th place is taken by T.Soini. Once again he managed to finish the race, despite having pretty much same story as nearly everytime, confident run, but not enough speed. Still, as always, finish is better than DNF.

Surprisingly, Willi did "only" get no higher than 5th place. Having a weird take-off on lap 16, which has slow motion video about it, was absolutely at least podium pace. It was unfortunate drop-off for him, as being probably LFS Bug, Willi did hit a mysterious, invisible object, which can happen if perfect angle is performed towards to down. There is also similar fashion to get actually slightly more speed from landing, but it happens more rarely than hitting and getting off. Anyway, finish is finish!



9 Qualifiers, 8 of them did start, 5 of them did finish. Over 50%! Now, highlights!


Start Grid


And the start video itself.


Beautiful picture taken from after Turn 1, and the moment when first lap is completed! RedBot (LFSW: redbot_ ) goes immediately for mandatory pitstop.




First DNF happens at this point: SHOON ( LFSW: FernandoFixa ), goes too fast and drops off. He ultimately goes to the garage, but rules says once you go to garage or spectate, the DNF will be permament, regardless of being it blocked or not.


Battling for 3rd place was sometimes insane! 3-wide at finish line.



Uh-Oh... Y.Laprevotte is out! Losing control on final S-turn and didn't attempt to try to get back on the track, DNF!


Shortly after, Pack is depleted, UM21 goes for mandatory pitstop


Statistics in somewhat 50% of the race completed. ( Atm T.Soini is for mandatory pitstop, which is not seen in picture, being overtaken by RedBot at this picture, driving on 5th position. )



This is the issue of unfortunate! Check this out as Willi gets weird contact and drops off. He managed to get back on the track by two !flip commands.




Oh no... on last lap, he gets off and has to DNF by LFS deciding for not finishing the race... Another unfortunate moment, and another retirement for his career in Flat Out! Series! Too bad.






TRIVIA

Race was shorter than usually.
First time RACCAR is seen.
Qualify pace and race pace was similar, but not everybody decided to go for same pace, due the fear of suspension not holding to the finish.
We saw one new racer: SHOON ( LFSW: FernandoFixa )
Despite layout were judged to be easy, it was quite tricky for RCC.

EDIT: More to mention
Willi have collected now over 300 points.
R.Kardol's first podium place.


Statistics and points will be updated shorty.


Thank you for participating this round. Next round will be on next tuesday, and it will be MIDNIGHT, which will gather double points. Let's see how many people will enter then. 00:00 UTC, that actually means that round time from 19:00 UTC, will be 19 hours earlier, so, if you are planning to enter on Round 34, absolutely when UTC hits from monday to tuesday, round will start.

Selected number is 72. Yes, 72 did also draw this midnight time, double points! Stay tuned!

Ahh, so it does not have any issue about licensing, but more like I thought in other hand about it would be unrealistic.

But then again... lol

EDIT: I did read more about the thread and indeed it is not at all about license issue, so I wonder how I got that in my head even though I am supposed to be aware it's not that at all lol. Brains malfunction

Quote from Sobis :Now that the combo is S2, will people be required to have S3? Or will the server be S2 when it's not RO?

It works like this:

Was original plan to be S3-server.
S2 and S1-licensed users will still be able to visit on the server, if all requirements for certain license is met, for example, if LX4 car is open, you must have S2-license to use it. Same thing with tracks.
So in overall, if combo is S1-track with S1-cars only, you can join to server with S1-license. But for obtaining full feature of this server, you must have S3-license.

It can be even Demo licensed people joining to server, but needs to have no layout, only max guests: 15, and demo cars and Blackwood track with no reverse or open configurations.
