Hey, please lets stay on topic - LFS Sounds! We shouldn't forget the topic until a dev gives us a little information on that

Not a problem here, do have 3mbit down and 512 kbit upstream. Running a host for 5 online players without any lag.

Thanks for your help!

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

... NAT's the solution.

Every standard router is a NAT router right? I think so..

Ehm, and the LFS Host doesn't have a problem if three players with the same IP connect? or is it only possible to drive online on different hosts?

That sounds nice Would be cool to have an answer from someone who really knows that. Devs?

Quote from JetroPag :

Omg.. The first video almost made me cry. It was so awesome. If it only could be true.

Btw, the best decoder is ffdshow btw..

Totally agreeing

We're using a wlan router - so the internal structure is not a problem. But of course we do have only one "cable and one connection" from router to the rest of the world

So, we definately have only one IP.

Hi mates!

I have an important question. Soon, i'll live together in an apartment with 3 other university guys. Two of them are my standard LFS opponents. Of course we can fight on lan then, but is there a posibillity to drive online with one DSL connection?

It isn't because of the IP right?

Sorry for the untrained english

oh my god, that would be really awesome - please scawen, stop debugging codepages, work on the sounds

Me wants physic updates - netkar Pro is on the road...

Sorry, but i hate the boost-button idea. It's totally unnormal for a car to get more power by pressing a button. I know, there are some series where you can found somethin like that, but beware to include that in LFS.

More interesting is to think about the decrease of the coefficient of aerodynamic resistance while driving behind another car. Today we discussed the change of the coefficient at the university in our automotive engineering I lecture. Our script comprises the following graph:



I'll try to translate:

On the y-axis, you see the percentage decrease of the c_w coefficient (Luftwiderstandsbeiwert = coefficient of air resistance)
On the y-axis, you see the distance between the front car rear end, and the rear car front end in meter.

The left graph is for trucks, and the right one for cars.

Black car in front, white behind: graph for percentage decrease per meter for the front car.
White car in front, black car behind: graph for percentage decrease per meter for the car behind.

So, you also see, that there is a decrease of air resistance for the front car, is that conisdered in LFS?

BTW: the air resistance is directly proportional to the coefficient of air resistance (c_w):

F_w = c_w * A * v² * air density / 2

I used the Setupfield set by king13 (the faster one) yesterday. The only setting i changed was the rear wing - i increased it plus 2°.

You not only need to have an endurance set, you also have to drive carefully and clean. Never ever a power drift, it could be the start of the end of your tyres.

I think the driving is much more important then the set. I think my set yesterday wasn't a real endurance set...

It was a really nice race today. Thanks for hosting SCCC - see ya next time. Ok maybe not tomorrow, because i have to relax after this enduro

Hey, i would take part. I even could host some races on my dial up connection here in germany. Doing this very often, and i never had any problems. Havin 3 mbit down and 512 upstream, so its enough for about 5-6 Connections.

What time do you would prefer? What about a race at 8 pm, 9 pm and 10 pm ?

Favorites: Turbo, RB4 and FOX (is a little fast ) or maybe LX6 and FZ50

Definatly no F08, possible would be GTR

Hey looney, what kind of car ist that? A FSAE car?

Quote from tristancliffe :

Which pit box? The first and last few boxes don't actually work.

Really? Why?

Air resistance force behaves quadratic to the velocity:

[HTML]F = k * v^2

with k = coefficient for air resistance:

k = cw * (ρ/2) * As

As = width * height
cw =given value for a specific car, often 0,3-0,4
ρ = density of the air[/HTML]

At high speeds only the air resistance matters because of the quadratic behavor to the speed.

Also the frictional resistance is not easy to estimate, because it's a function of tyre pressure, tyre-road-contact-area, mass, and the µ between street and tyre

And for your question, only the frictional resistance is a function of the mass - so mass isn't really important for high speed. Some time i calculated an example and the top speed decreased only a bit with increasing the mass alot ...

Alright? Greetz,

I'm studying mechanical engeenering and business administration. A german "Wirtschaftsingenieur"

For earning money while studying i create and host website and work for some websites...

Quote from AlfaLover :

German knows a lot how to press screws, and Italians says how to do.

You should think twice about your quote. First, not the complete VAG is not using common rail, cause the new Audi diesel's are common rail's, for example Audi A6 3.0 diesel. Second, you shouldn't take VAG, especially Volkswagen as an example for german engineering. I don't know any car manufacture which is more successfull then BMW and Porsche... And what about the third reason: Alfa seems to be your favorite, what about the Top-Manager at Alfa? Italians say how to do? It seems to be exactly the opposite way - a german directs the italian work

Quote from danowat :

No, the Titanium and the ST TDCi are 2 completely different models......

Dan.

Nope... not in germany. There isn't a ST TDCi at all in germany. How much bhp does the ST TDCi have?

Sorry for OT, but need to post this image we made at the last TunerGP in Hockenheim. And remember - we didn't edited this pic

It works also if you rename FZR_skin.jpg to UF1_skin.jpg - the question should be how it would look

And also let the time-distance to the other racers appear longer please. Don't see any reason to hide them so fast again

Greetz,
Warper

Thanks scawen for answering. But i have to agree... 53.32 is a really nice time for FE Club with UF1. I don't really believe there is such a fast AI on this track on any host.

Greetz,
Warper

F12 displays some info, but as long as i'm right there is no info about a required pitstop.

And thats a big problem, because when the race starts it's definately to late to think about pit strategy. So, that should be changed in future versions.
