Hello members,


I’m just informing you all that I no longer work in OLFSL. Sorry about this quick and short notice.

My motivation and fun is gone, I have no desire to continue this. However, OLFSL will go on - good race, make the league even bigger and better.

It was a pleasure to work with you all.

Good bye.

Quote from S0ul :

when i try to upload my hotlap it says:you must do your hotlap with S2 Patch U!I have U 19,that does not work?hmm,im attaching my lap here then,hope you can fix that

Did you try again? If not please do. Must be some temp glitch, since the script is only interested if you're on patch U. "Sub-version" is irrelevant.

Hotlap uploading is now open!

You can see that it's a bit different this time. LFS doesn't save penalty information to the SPR file and therefore you must type it to the corresponded field. It would be easy to cheat here, but it's no use since every single replay will be checked.

This you will notice once you've uploaded a hotlap and are transferred to the hotlap list. You'll see text "unchecked" until one of OLFSL admins reviews the replay.

Other than that, it's the usual business. Remember to upload before Friday 18:00GMT - it's the deadline. Good luck!

Quote from t1ger :

the answer to (3) from FienDi! Houses in the UK are generally not AirConditioned so we probably don't have this problem.

Well I don't think the air conditioning is the only issue. I still live in believe than in UK most electricity is produced with coal plants - which will unavoidably create CO2. I'll check about this, for this knowledge is from my school days (many years ago)

-edit--
Looks like I was still in year 1990 Here:

* gas – 39.93% (0.05% in 1990)
* coal – 33.08% (67.22% in 1990)
* nuclear – 19.26% (18.97% in 1990)
* renewables – 3.55% (0% in 1990)
* hydroelectric – 1.10% (2.55% in 1990)
* imports – 1.96% (3.85% in 1990)
* oil – 1.12% (6.82% in 1990)

But coal is still equal with gas..

Interesting point of view here too:

Quote :

JONATHAN G. KOOMEY: A typical home in the South would use about 4,000 kilowatt hours for air conditioning. If we convert that to carbon emitted, we get about 800 kilograms of carbon emitted per year for a central air conditioner. And that's about 1,800 pounds, which is more than the weight of a small car like a Toyota Corolla.
NARRATOR: Since each pound of carbon entering the atmosphere combines with oxygen to form nearly four pounds of carbon dioxide, America's contribution to greenhouse gas build-up is even more striking.
Taking a shower each morning produces 550 pounds of CO2 in a year. Using a computer 40 hours a week produces 600 pounds of CO2. Lighting an average house for a year emits 2,000 pounds. Lighting an large office building not surprisingly produces much more, 2.5 million pounds of CO2.
And about one third of all American greenhouse emissions come from automobiles.
JONATHAN G. KOOMEY: People drive, on average, about 12,000 miles per year, and a typical new car gets roughly 28 miles per gallon. That means that you will use about 430 gallons per year. And so over the course of a year, the person driving this new car will emit roughly 2,200 pounds of carbon per year. That's roughly the weight of the car itself. Now, if you have an SUV, which only gets 14 miles per gallon, you're emitting 4,400 pounds per year, essentially the same as having two cars on the road instead of one.

Dammit you social security, free healtcare and education system, dam you!

Quote from Blackout :

edit. And to just add, the finnish goverment sucks big time in these car economy and emissions things. The regulations of EU aren't made to happen and there is no use of buyig a green car, no lower taxes or anything. And buying a new (or any) car is wayyyy too expensive because the illegal payments and the taxes! And that's why we are driving with one of the oldest cars in europe. RRRRRR!

I'm positive about seeing a change to this, since we finally can buy "biofuel" (plant oil in it, or so). However, it's still more expensive than the regular one illepall so I don't think it will a success yet. It's a step to better direction anyway...

And the hybrid car prices aren't going down before the amount of sold cars is going up. So it's up to us, consumers. Hybrids is the thing day, hydrogen cars are just too far away in future.

But the fuel economy isn't the only point in building hybrid cars. It's not all about our wallets but the mother nature also - emission levels.

I know the following sheet is from the manufacturers site and based on Sol's data, are a bit optimistic. But keep in mind that this likely applies to both.




..and I managed to find also Micra 1.0 CO2 level (141g/km), but I couldn't confirm which model it was so I ended up to pick up the latest model. Both cars also passed Euro IV level, which isn't that significant though.

and sorry about those translation errors in the pic

Quote from Bawbag :

Sorry!!! I saw you run wide and took a wider line so both of us could get through but I went to wide and hit those kerb things and I snatched, I should have braked but it seemed safe at the time.

Apart from my slight mistake putting FienDi off, it was a good tune up race.

Ahh.. never mind - it's ancient history now. Besides I had fun in server nr1

Though.. I think we could safely remove LX4 from the list Or are there any LX4'ers there?

Anyway, tuneup races were good stuff - we'll see more of that next weekend. Remember to post your hotlaps before the deadline, I'm feeling reluctant to add you manually because you didn't have time illepall You have about 4 days now, that should do it

Okay then.. see you on track

Quote from Phlos :

I don't have the replay for the moment

Uploading now...

Anyone who did stats from pool1 could save me a lot of work tonight... anyone? please


EDIT: Oh, and raced to the end...

Quote from Phlos :

so everything is possible, right ?

With a reason good enough, yes. Formula 1 event is not one.

I'm F1 fan myself too, but the sport has become boring to watch for me. I timed the pools this time and I didn't feel need to specially adjust the timeline because of some sporting event. Also, I was 20km from nearest habitat and F1 wasn't really in my mind at that moment. I just put up the grid based on OLFSL rules, as usual.

But that's only my personal opinion, as is your "I'll prolly leave OLFSL if not" opinion. You can always miss one race and go on with the next one, you know. It's up to you m8

Just remember you need to MAIL our Pool Manager about your absence. You can find the adress from the "Contact us" page.

Quote from Linsen :

I have been always using my lucky number (didn't help me much though ) which differs from my OLFSL number and nobody ever complained.

Your name is more important, during the races I mean. It must be the same as one you use in OLFSL. If you've changed your name after joining us, you should keep your name up to date (profile).

Also if you're license name is misspelled, results will be incorrect - you won't score any points. Stay sharp with these..

I think I'll just close this one.

Reason why you look like you started the thread is because you posted the first offtopic one (again, in my opinion) and I just cut all messages about that new topic and put them all into a new thread. Anyone with interest to that conversation likely understood what was going on.

I'll leave the subject of personal insults as it is.

It's sad to leave a member to go, especially when it's a members of team with good reputation. In my eyes that is. Anyway, it's up to you.

The end.

Quote from Bawbag :

BBO has a thing for Mrs FienDi!

:jawdrop:



P.S. *rofl*

Quote from BBO@BSR :

Tbh that's a strange point of view (but I didn't expected anything else from you).

You brought this to personal level BBO, live with it. That's your way to operate and it's OK - this is a free forum. Don't call me a liar too because I have eyes. I know&remember all the little things you have done for us, so don't spoil it with stuff like this. Anyway, this thread has gone far away from the topic. Discussion about Mrs's or BBO's or anyone elses personal qualities, which do NOT have anything to do with the topic. You can surely continue this somewhere else if you wish. I hope not.

But it wont happen in here. I'm not interested in your opinions about us in personal level, keep that information to yourself. You don't know us any more than we do you. What I am interested is that which option do you want to see in use in future events - you made that clear allready.

Quote from Robm_lufc :

just like to see everything run fairly and by the rules

And that was the case. No problem then I see.

Results for pool3 (cut from lap 18) on the site.

This has been a normal procedure in OLFSL since the beginning. No one hasn't complained about it earlier, why? Now that it's brought up it's suddenly the end of the world as we know it?.. Come on.

I 100% agree with Mrs's decision - it's the way things are done in OLFSL. Or at least has been from the start.

Just go to poll and vote
