Quote from JJ72 :

how come no one mention: Andre's original LFS league?

I think LFS is the first racing game where there's a league when it's still in demo stage?

I just saw this earlier today and got into digging some archives built up in past years - had to post this image from past.

If you've seen this before you must have been here for a long time




P.s. ...and sorry about some "parsing" I had to do - some images had vanished during the ages.....

I'll just open this for chat - congrats to you know who for you know what

Thanks a lot - my only plan was to go easy and be last.

...though that might be the case anyway

Oh.. Didn't realise you were part of the dev team - you must be if making such announcements for sure

Anyway, seriously; the last even was left undefined on purpose and will stay that way until it will be defined.

...and bt the way, sometimes good things come only by waiting.

Well, for sure it is not cancelled.

Apologies to staff about the issues on Sunday. I did try my best to recover, including trying to connect through my mobile phone&wlan witn no luck. Maybe I should get an 3G-fallback-connetion in addition to adsl line...

Oh well - better one next time I hope.

Thread is open for E10 chat.

On my own behalf I'd like to apology for not being able to host as scheduled. My internet connection was breaking out whole night, starting from 17:28gmt - which sadly was the starting time of pool 2. I'm glad that you guys were able to pull it through anyway.

Or is it too much trouble to write here...

In other words, if I may, this next race is nothing like anything you've encountered in OLFSL seasons. Completely different style of racing.

So most of us need to learn new things, which is done best in practice not by reading. The rules mentioned in a post above are good stuff, not denying that. However, the actual driving is done on track and it's highly recommended to do more than few laps with others cars/racers.

That's my stand

The error must be between my ears then

Okay, post your ideas & instructions here

Hi

I asked several times add the other KA Members to Team for Event 6, 10 min. after alloed to change it by our own via form for example. I didn´t get an information if this is possible or why it is not possible ? is 10 minutes to long to correct this mistake ?

Regards
Thunderdome

I don't know why you feel need to present your opinion in such aggressive way?

Anyway, the missing racers can still be - and will be - added. Don't despair.

Tim wrote the reason why this feature was created. Nothing to add into that - for me it is still well justified to have such "tick-to-race" -list. And for your information, you don't need to be the teams admin to change the set racers. Any team member can do that.

By saying that everyone in a team should be counted, else it's not a team, you are in a way saying the same someone said ages ago about the so called "worst events" -rule; if you can't be there every time you are not a racer.

Anyway, we can discuss removing the feature after season - I'm not willing to change it unless it is really demanded from several members.

*gives a sign to Thunderdome*

It appears to me that I managed to fix the problem in worst-events-removal-thingy. Not a big bug, which made it harder to track.

Hope it's ok now - cheers.

Thanks for noting us - we really didn't notice.

Now that this was mentioned - I really hate this late "fashion" of making layouts. I recall back in the good old days racers kept on the line without barriers all over the place.

Good old times.. can't get them back eh..

bit of the story:

...I hope you don't mind ANT ?

Replays will be reviewed to inspect cutting the track and penalties will be applied accordingly. It's a lot of work, so please be patient with us.

Number plate now available on the site:

User CP => Plate (when logged in)

Quote from russraine :

I wouldn't want to be the one to fix that bug.

I didn't either, but I didn't have choice

Anyway - the way points are locked is different now, improved one might say. I feel it's a lot better now, more backwards runnable and so on.

The team points section on the site has expanded a lot since it was first found as a mear fun feature. Didn't expect teams would come up this strong and "buy" the team standings this way

I hope I can improve it (and other parts on the site/league) further - like I strongly believe every OLFSL staff member hopes.

See you, on track

Feedback noted - this is kinda my area since I'm mostly the one to blame about the combination on this season.

OLFSL userbar is now available to use in here. It's in no way mandatory or required, just for fun and maybe show where you race. During season it will show your position in standings also.

Feel free to use or not

Hi Vic,

I finally managed make an OLFSL userbar for members and admins.
Here's the link to it: http://www.lfs-league.com/ubar.php?licn={lfs licensename}

Code could be something like [OLFSL]lfs licensename[/OLFSL] ?

Thank you in forward

Due to renewing the way our site handles teams the team list had to be reset. This means that team leaders must register their teams again. We are sorry about the inconvenience and trouble caused by this.

The new system we are starting to use will allow/require teams to assign racers representing their team before every event. Points are calculated after the race and only then - changes after the results have been published will not affect team standings.

The page to assign racers will be open after qualifying deadline is met and close down on Saturday before race at 18:00GMT. Also, the page will be visible only to team leaders (team leader = the one who added the team).

We hope this change will be accepted by the community and encourage teams to register in as soon as possible.

Quote from N I K I :

FTR Wind speed is usually under 10 km/h

You are mixing up units here?

FTR 30km/h => 8.3m/s => medium wind & under 10m/s
In the other hand 10km/h => 2.8m/s which is very light wind.

If this is not the case then I'm sorry

Quote from amp88 :

A simple change which would add a lot of insight to the wind system would be adding indications to the minimap for wind speed and direction.

Aren't we already spoiled enough with detailed information about tyre temps? How about graph to tell us how much we have created heat to our clutch? None of these are normally available for drivers - and can't be accurately defined with increased "feel" of real life conditions.

Anyway, you can't actually see wind or can you? You can only figure it out indirectly from trees, flags, debris and etc - none of these can't be done while racing with pack of other cars (imo). So in the end you can never be sure where the wind is going to blow - not suck. You can only do your best to prepare for it.

Also, you can't expect to be able to make ideal laps all the time.

And now I will shut up ...I've shared enough cents here

I was minded to write this a week ago, but better now that never.

While aknowledging the defiencies of wind modeling in LFS I must say that even the high wind is definately not "too much". I was driving back to home 120km/h (on a highway) and it was quite windy that day. The effect was very much similar to what is "felt" in LFS also. Apart the fact that the simulated wind is too constant the actual force is correct and plausible.

I honestly believe the wind is a factor to be noticed and will improve the LFS-experience in our starting season greatly. I'm really looking forward

Just my 5 cents, thank you for reading.
