After discovering the Oval races today, I noticed something that is rather irritating. I always drive with nicknames visible above the cars, but with high speed corners like on the Ovals the nicknames starts to float 3-4 meters next to the car, it is confusing to see a nickname so close to your car in the mirror but don't knowing where the car is.

Can it be fixed that the names above cars keep hovering above the cars in all turns ?

don't think so..

and i think that THAT is lag

Nope, that is G-force displacing the racername... Why it was implemented that way I don't know, I think Scawen once explained why...

You joking or are you serious?
Belived it would be caused by lag

It is a kind of lag, yes.

Damn, I never catch the irony or a joke, allways bites on it ><!

No it's not lag, it is as bbman said.

It is let you see the car beside you when you taking coner in Oval

So then it was not lag after all, damn.

Ok, then it actually can be a little usefull, and not look directly strange.

Listen... if it's not "lag," what is it? It's lag. It may not be network lag, but it is lag per se. The name is lagging behind the car. The car is accelerating away from the name and the name can't keep up, id est it is intrinsically lagging!

Thus Dillyracer's original complaint, either way, is one of lag. He words lag as "float" (as in drift).

:rolleyes: Ok, and you tell me who in this thread and especially in the context of an online racing simulator doesn't speak of lag as network lag. It's very clear that The Very End was referencing to network lag, to which your answer of "It is a kind of lag, yes" is just misleading.

So by the definition, yes it is lagging behind the car's actions. I guess it behaves like it is attached to the car by a damped spring, probably in order to not let the text jump around incase of network lag and make it more readable.

Maybe its not lag.

I think that the Racername is slower than the car and tries to catch up
