I don't really know if this has been suggested before, but the auto-search didnt brought up something similliar.

Anyway, here it goes

I would like to suggest a vote system of track after a race. Voting between the most recent or allowed tracks on the server would be more fun. Everytime something else. I know that there are insim mods that changes tracks once in a while, but those were really annoying. End race, change random track, change day/wheater.. pffff...

A example of my idea.

After a race lfs pops up a little menu where you can vote for a track. Or use the numbers for a track. In this way it would be more easy and drive on the most voted tracks/combo or everything else.

Same idea goes for layouts.

What you guy think about it?
Yay or nay?

You'd get the same track voted for again and again and again.

'AS3 pls' x 10000000

Also thought something to do about this. Only tracks show up in the list that arent yet raced. And then a timelimit will get those other tracks on the votelist.

Just someon told me ( A hard insim programer ) , there is no command or aplication for the imsim to change the track automaticaly

but the idea of vote track whould be very handly

Well yeah, the InSim has to end the race, wait for it to actually end and then finally change track while keeping players from just starting the same combo again (carsmax 1 does help, but it's not foolproof).

I saw this system in one server, it was quite good But I don't know the server name though.

Doesn't seem like it'd be that hard to tack onto a server already running the track-changing script, although being a complete dunce when it comes to InSim I may be understating.

At the end of a race, the InSim chooses something like 3 or 5 tracks from a pool of possible combos. That would prevent getting stupidly long combos in the slow cars, or stupidly short combos in the fast cars. It announces the buttons to press to vote, it tallys up the count and then loads the track. Parts of the code are already used for different stuff, it's just the randomiser and track pool that might be the issue.

LFS Norge RX FTW!!!

Some Admins that run their own servers, have set their server with the combo they want to race. Thats why most servers don't have choice to change track when you see it on the master server list.

Ditto some teams - they've come to a collective decision to run that particular combo. It's for their use, but if others join they're usually happy that people have chosen to race their combo.

Most Admins/teams have their own site/forum or admin email. You could always ask that way.

Remember, if someone's running something like AS7 with UF1, they may wonder why you've bothered joining them when you're looking for SO6R with BF1. They may just tell you to go look for a server already running that particular combo.

Personally. If no-one else is on my server, and you join, and you want to change the combo, feel free.

Just be aware that once you've got what you want, you may get someone else coming on wanting to change your chosen combo to a combo of their choice.

How annoying would that be?

I've seen a mod exactly like this in a first person shooter I played a while back. It worked very well. The current map wasn't included in the vote, and of course you had to vote in a certain amount of time. It gave a choice of 4 maps.

If something like this could be implemented in the future, I think it could do wonders for pickup racing.

I am sure i voted for this 1 year ago
This will be a bit like Race Driver Grid. End race>in the menu>Pick country or whatevver>pick racing series>race

For some reason i dislike this. I don't want people spaming the chat with "RTV pls"

Better than "I hate this combo!"
