Quote from Alles :

yeah sure is nice combo. i must say that its one of the servers i like most lately. the thing is, it uses patch W17 with balanced TBO class and there is no FXO ownage like it used to be and what is also good is that there are all cars being driven there as i cant say for other W servers where clearely FXO is the most used.

What i would also like to see is some reversed tracks.
for example:
- FE GOLD reversed
- SO Sprint 1 reversed
- westhill reversed...

Funny thing is that we started with only reverse tracks and nobody showed up There's some great reverse config's for sure and if the 'majority' wants something we'll add it of course but we must think of some ways to get to know what the majority wants first

Perhaps a voting system of some sort hmmm...

Quote from SamH :

Which, I must admit, I find highly entertaining, since I fairly regularly race with both those aforementioned drivers, ON the STCC servers

No you don't and the request still stands. There's my lfs account name written in red on your website and I don't like it that's all

Thanks

The lap counts are set so that each race is just under 10 minute mark. More laps would be sweet, sure but only on certain conditions I think. Such a long track would be kinda boring to drive with only few racers hence I'm wondering if we could make some kind of dynamic system for this too. (more racers=more laps) I bet Shittie wouldn't like that though since he has his hands full already

We'll see. However I can up the count whenever I'm around if the majority wants it.

Two crashes on same host at the same time, first one is mine and second is Shittie's. Nobody else was around at the time.

Quote from ussbeethoven :

A strange bug appeared just 20min ago: on "OLT Pro Racing" every car except the own lagged resp. car position wasn't refreshed anymore, and the same happened again right after a server restart but chatting, setting new PBs and completing the race was still possible. I remember the same bug appeared before with W17.

Yep, It's the third time I've seen it now. It's a Linux host by the way.

Quote from GP4Flo :

- Instead of "4/8" laps LFS displayed "4/1" (Edit: yes, like ussbeethoven it switched back to 9/8 after the race)

I changed it to 8 laps during the race when I realised the 1 lap problem. No idea where that came from.

Hi

The idea was to get rid of few annoyances like FXO, blue flagged cars, 100% sunny weather, no wind and short tracks.

If this rubs you in the right way, then by all means try it out

EDIT: FXO's back due to the balancing

Quote from Becky Rose :

I'm quite happy to dock a small number of license points for drivers pressuring back markers to get out of the way with blue flag messages which are utterly unecessary, and depending on the incident and level of abuse between drivers i'll go right up to a short ban if a driver derides you publicly for adhering to proper racing blue flag rules.

Since it's a game and there's two types of the blue flag situations I wonder if the rules are the same? 1. Someone started the race with others and is genuinely lapped 2. Someone joins during the race and is getting constant flag.

As you can't join a race during it in real life perhaps real life rules shouldn't apply in case 2? I for one try not to interfere in any way if I join mid race because I know how frustrating it can be to have the race outcome decided by someone who just joined and managed to slow you down just enough during the last lap or so.

Quote from frokki :

Overtaking a car that's lap behind shouldn't be hard, and shouldn't take half a lap.

In the case of a late joiner it can be. I've seen a flagged car actually overtake just about entire field and hitting them while doing it. Talk about ruining a race for the others Maybe it's just me tho, thoughts?

EDIT: all of the above is written with stcc public servers in mind.

P.S. Personally I'd like mid-race join disabled but oh well

how do i add the subtitles xD

Quote from Bean0 :

Using Media Player Classic, it's as simple as File > Open Subtitles

Or get this http://www.free-codecs.com/download/DirectVobSub.htm

..and use winamp, wmp or whatever. You don't even have to load, they're displayed automatically.

Quote from bbman :

I never heard any RL team changing setup because the wind got stronger or changed direction, do you? Thought so... Seriously, have you thought that through all the way?

I have, gear ratios and/or wing settings. (F1 mainly)

Quote from ORION :

btw, is there anyone with a screenshot of the very first lfs website?

Yep (Perhaps not the very first but it was same design afaik)

Quote from Viper93 :

In a full server anywhere between 5-10 people will recieve points.

That's just it, 5, 10 or 20? Big difference there if you think about it. 0 times 2 is still zero

I understand if this cannot be revealed, no problem. I can make a ballpark guess

Quote from Viper93 :

Please don't do that, it will ruin the fun of it =P

I'm just looking for an excuse to use the XRT all the time no matter what the combo and opposition is

Might encourage others to use RB4 and XRT too, who knows. I was under the impression that you still have to be fairly competitive in the XRT to equal a win in an FXO but not sure, really.

Quote from Bean0 :

The points system is a Voodoo Art and is known only to a select few, it's the way the organisers wanted. I don't know it btw.

Oh well. I suppose one could make an accurate enough guess by driving and taking notes about the accumulated points but I was hoping that someone could save me the trouble

EDIT:

Quote from Viper93 :

Well in the XRT you would get more than double the points than that of an FXO for placing in the same position. An RB4 would get double. There are a ton of factors, but that gives you a rough idea.

For exact rules pls click http://license.ukct.net/

Yes I know all that but it really doesn't answer the question since I doubt that the point system is linear. Even if it is one would have to know what's the last place you get points from

Hey the sun shines in this thread again

Wondering about points balancing...Could someone tell me what position in the XRT equals a win in the FXO points wise? (assuming that other variables stay the same)

P.S. It'd be nice if the site had more information about these things, track rotation, times and such

Quote from SamH :

We've decided that this evening, we're going to turn things on their head a bit. The RB4 and XRT are going to be the only cars available to silver licenced drivers. The full TBO class will be available to gold licenced drivers. Hopefully this will encourage more driving of the lesser two cars. They are great cars to drive, but everyone tends to drive the FXO because they prefer to win.

I would have changed it so that FXO is the only car available for silver drivers and for them only but oh well Eventually the amount of gold/platinum drivers will grow and then we're stuck with FXO's dominating the field again but I guess it helps a bit, for now, sort of Never really thought about what license's people have on the server at any given time.

In any case it's good that something's being done and it's interesting to see how this works out.

Quote from szyszek :

Having separate servers for Silver licenced racers, and Gold licenced? Forcing passengers into the FXO's? I don't know.

Both are good suggestions imo but I'd like separate servers more. Full field of XRT's would be just fantastic Defending some 6th place is fun only for a while and a win/podium in an FXO isn't that great either to me personally

EDIT: Points are irrelevant to me at this point, I'd just like a level playing field and good racing

Quote from Bean0 :

What about limiting the points you score in the FXO after you have reached Gold, the same way that points scored on the Bronze servers get limited after you reach your Silver License ?

This could work as well

What exactly should I be aiming for based on my PC specs? Should I atleast have 100 fps solid or what?

This might give you an idea about that: http://lfsbench.iron.eu.org/?c=completemax

Great stuff (as a whole, brought me back to online racing really)

Just got silver btw and that was a bit of an anti-climax for me personally I have to drive the FXO now

LFS Benchmark updated for Patch V! :moped:

I bought me a Viewsonic vx2235wm earlier. I wonder if it has the same panel as your Samsung and Andy's Acer since they all have same specs. How much did it cost btw? (got mine for 416€)
