Thank you so much for these fixes 
The best is really the pit info in the F12 menu!
Two thumbs up!

Server is up for practice, tuning and testing.
Server name: www.SCORE.does.it
Server will be up untill midnight, European time.

On paper, I also have 1Mbit upload speed, but the sad truth is that the internet isn't always at it's best, and so I preffer to play it safe and meassure actualy speed to servers in various places on the globe. I find that I an upload speed of little about 850 kbits / sec is what I should set it to, if I like to serve safe even for people in Australia or the US westcoast.
With that setting I can still serve 17 cars and have 23 guests, witch should be more than ok for the long endurance event's that SCORE will serve during 2006

Why do you say that? The FXR is the one car that actually is possible to bring out of a sandtrap if you mess up. It may not be the fastest kid on the block, but it will last all the way to the finish line

Try this setup I made for Westhill. It's probably not the best setup you've tried, and it's definalty not the fastest, but if you drive it right, it should last for at least 60 liters of fuel from start, probably more.
I've also attached a replay of how I drive it to get the tires to last. You can probably improve both driving and setup
NOTE!
You will probably have to adjust the Maximum Lock (under steering) to suit your needs. But don't set it higher than you need to since a high lock result in "twitchy" steering witch consumes tires.

GT-Challenge 2006
This spring, SCORE will host and maintain a 5 event GT series, with a following 5 event's in the fall. 500km events in two classes plus two 24 hour event's ending each of the series.
In addition, there will be two practice events of about one hour each, to get a feeling for what it's like to race with two classes of different speed on track. These events take place in November and December this year. More info about dates for these practice events will be posted in the SCORE forum.
For more info about practically everything, please visit SCORE. Read the rules, gather a driving team, pick a car and a class and sign up for this exciting series, brought to you by SCORE.
SCORE has been serving online GT and touringcar events since January 2003, using SCGT and Nascar Heat among others. The time is absolutely right to move on up the ladder and start using LFS

How about a cheer everytime someone set a new personal best? Not to mention sets a world record
Could also be cool with sort of a word recognition system or something (if possible). Set it up to listen for certain words, and if they appear, it gives an automated response.
Example 1
Driver A spins and types a series of foul words that really don't belong there.
The program answers with some sort of clever message, stating that Driver A should take that sort of language elsewhere.
Example 2
Driver A types goodbye
program answer "welcome back"
Of course, it would be perfect if the user could set up both the words to listen for, and the responses

I'm actually quite new to LFS, only had it for a few months or so.... I have, however, been driving simulated endruance races for almost three years now
Endurance setups are really relying on your tire/fuel economy and your driving, like stated above.
I try to setup so that the inner two temp values on a tire are equal and try to balance the car so it burns the tires equal front and rear, at least on the "outside".
It does take a little tweaking, and it's not a very fast setup, and in general you will have to be a little carefull the first lap until the tires has reached a driveable temp. In return you get tires that last long, and you can probably save up to one pitstop in any 3 hour event.
Oh and to get away with this, you really have be a stable driver and drive every lap almost the same

TCP or UDP?
When testing my bandwidth using a tool called TPTest, I get results in both UDP and TCP. These result (if I understood it right) can be entered into the server field that says:
Maximum Upload (kbit / sec):
But witch of the two values should I enter? The result for TCP or the result for UDP? They don't differ much, but I get a better value for UDP.

Was Great!
I will definatly come back to race with you guys. At least as long as it's about GTR cars. WAs nice and clean. Hope it stays that way for a long time! All we need now is some more people on the track!

Thank you so much. If you want ideas for more features, just say so
We have raced GT type racing for almost three years on SCORE. Next year we will race Endurance event's using LFS and the GTR class cars. Both the RWD and the FWD GTR's.
I am hosting practice sessions every thursday night, starting at 20:00 CET and going on for as long as there are poeple on the server or I have to leave for work. If you like to test to race with two classes on tracks, you're most welcome
Look for a server named www.SCORE.does.it

This program is really nice Thanks for making it 
Will there be updates to it? If so I got some suggestions. If not, I'm happy with what I got, hehe!
--- Edit ---
I also found what may be a bug.
When ever a race is finished (someone cross the finish line), I get this message in big red letters:
InSim: ACK for unknown packet
This message is displayed over and over again untill I disconnect the program. I can, however, reconnect the program again without trouble.

Does that mean that the initial release of rFacor was an Alpha, and after the 1.040 patch it's a Beta?
:chairfall :hide:
Speaker sound...
I know there has been talk about adding some type of atmosphearic sounds to the game, and the idea is not mine. But I haven't seen any made, so here goes.
I converted the announcer sound from good old SCGT to .OGG format, and set the game to play music while racing. The result is not perfect, but it's something. Use if you like

IMO it doesn't matter much if the mod is good or bad, cause it tends to regulate itself
A good mod will be used and you will see a lot of it in the server listings and so on. A bad mod get's downloaded and after tested by the community it will never ever be used.
The only thing that really needs to be kept in some sort of restrain is duplicates and versions of mods (as well as tracks). SCGT has done this fairly well trough the years, with one or two exceptions. rFactor allready seems to have lost controll of it with two or three versions of mods and numerous updates to mods.
Coming most recently from the Nascar Heat modding community I think that as long as a mod project is respected and not duplicated or modified afterwords, there is no need for a council. If such things are allowed by the community, the modders will soon stop modding and you will experience the nightmare of cars that look alike but has completely different physics.
Just my opinion

When converting to OGG...
...from a wave file, the output plays at double speed in LFS. What am I doing wrong?
How about ZZTop - Decition or Collision, found on the Recycler album.
LFS - A better reality
LFS - So real it hurts
LFS - Simply better...

Very fit women indeed
Found this nice picture, compleete with checkered flag, hehe
I would like to second that humble request
Weight penalties are a great way to keep the field balanced trough out a series and I would really love to see it implemented one way or the other. Since they use it in real life, it has to be a good idea, right?
