Hi, I like the idea with this server..longer races often..that´s great:
I just have some additionary, maybe foolish proposals, because i know it will suit me personally better and then I think it possible would do so too for others.
I better come with my proposal here:
I would like a more frequent rotation. Skip the qual..let people practice on another server.
then
race rotation with 2 combos. Then people can choose to stay or go to the other server to practice for the combo they prefere.
18.00 - 18.40 as3
18.45 - 19.25 so5
19.30 - 20.10 as3 again
etc.
this chosen comboes could be there for 1 week at a time. why not? and make a schedule for everyone to see.
Why 2 and not more comboes? This will allow people with duties (children, homework and so) at home to come at the time, they can because the combo will be avaible several times on different hours.
ps. maybe 3 comboes could work as well, but i prefer 2.
- qualy is open for all
- we know about the problem with TBOs.... but we have no plan yet to fix :/
- yeah, i already noticed, on my list
- i made this because when race starts, you get not informed
- the message is timed to XX:25... so qualy is normally at another time
- translations will be deleted
Did two quick quali-runs in the morning... I saw at least 3 drivers who sent to spec because of not having a LFS-pb...IIRC they tried FXO, XRR and XRT. It worked for me yesterday on KY3/FXO but not for others today on AS7R...
Server was empty as I joined (server was in practice) and the others tried a midracejoin in quali with only me on track...
Check the log´s... something must have written down..
When you join as first racer on the server in between race time xx:15 to xx:55 and you have your 105% PB, a 10 mins. Q will start for you.
The server is LFS PB locked at this mentioned time and can´t see if it´s a Q or a race.
Server is up again with major changes (sorry for extended downtime):
- Race lenght now lap based
- No time schedule anymore (except daily track change)
- No qualy anymore
- Airio 2.3.3 installed
Following settings are only for about 2 weeks:
- mid-race join allowed
- no PB needed
Fot the future we will set-up a small training server to give you a place to get the required time to be allowed to race.
At this point we will switch on the 5% rule again
See you on track!
Yes, in deed "as" Aston National is planned for Saturdays but you might want to ask Trekker to change the track rotation. Maybe you get lucky, he´s in charge of this server.
That's sad you'd think people would get the hint after you don't vote to restart the first few times but then to make it his mission to prevent you from getting to the end is really low... it's easy to blame in on youth but lets just say he has a mental age of six if someone doesn't have patience why do they bother even joining an enduro server
It's also sad you were racing alone, I feel bad for you and feel I must come and race with you now
He won´t bother anybody on this server for the next three month. Thanks for the replay.
Like my teammate states here, we "total"-opened the server for 14 days only,for all racers regardless their PB and allowed a bit more up to the 29th of this month in order to introduce it to all interested ppl..
In other words: Starting 29th, still no restart votes possible, in addition no kick/ban votes possible but only 105% WR racers will be able to join the races. The required laptime you do on another server before.
14 laps KY3 is on the menu today. Pls. join for some ~30 mins. races.
Just to clear things up though, I didn't post the replay to blame and shame. I just had to upload it somewhere and didn't want to make a new thread. However, I can't stop anyone from making any comments on the subject.
It all depends on the time of day, even if there is no one on I'll still want to complete some laps. Short 5 lap sprints were the only choice of populated servers, and I needed to break away from that.
The style of driving was rubbing off my my karting races. DNFed twice after the 10th or 12 laps.
That I can fully understand I rarely join a server with 5 laps these days. I have the same problems in Aus as well, often are lucky to be racing one or two let alone a full server. And I can't convince myself to join euro servers any more because the ping is just too high for good racing, otherwise I would join the TRDT enduro server regularly . USA servers could still be viable but I don't see any at the time I go on LFS I race with a Canadian guy a fair bit, but I believe he gets up at 3 or 4 am to race with his Aussie team m8's
Does lambchop still do LFS or has he moved on to other?
- "Race length now laps based" gives a great advantage to GTR´s ... TBO´s need about 10 minutes more to complete the race. Thats fine and a real "challenge" but a bit unfair when TBO´s driving alone on track..should be 30 minutes for all cars!
- vote-restart didn´t work. After 20-30 minutes of serious practicing (quali is disbabled, only god knows why) five racers tried to restart a race... "All restart votes canceled" -> so all reacers left the server.. just great!
