Thats my team mate you landed on
Because of that he DNFed too

Hope he wasn't injured
What kinda pressures were you running? That tyre looks punctured.
I just came from hospital... he had some visibility problems after you landed on his head, that's way he retired. He's ok now
Are you ok?
13.8 psi in the rears. just stretched a bit in that chicane.
He got away from that lightly I ended up on my roof and race over. Maybe not the best place to overtake in the lx6 eh.
He scored his forced error on me, and im sorry i ended up bouncing off his roof. but he should have won from there on. 
I think thats a bit harsh wouldnt you say? If the admin is acting on something he feels something needs to be acted upon then surely its their right to do so? If he'd completely screwed up and only put 5 laps on or something that he's to blame for then fair enough, but it seems it was done in the best intentions for all the drivers involved with no favouritism.
In a Fusion run series, when its predominantly non-Fusion people helping by admining these races because your teammates wont do it i think its a little unfair to critisise something that was done in the best intentions for the race.
I ended up doing server 1 on my own despite the fact that i was babysitting a 2yo at the time and made it clear i couldnt (and wouldnt!) ignore her just to keep an eye on things in a race, but would be willing to be 2nd man and help with another set of eyes, despite putting that in writing on msn and this forum I somehow ended up adminning single handedly while the only Fusion members i can recall who've adminned a race are both on the track driving despite the fact that you knew you were short of admins for this race.
NIKI was a last minute helping hand, otherwise you may have had nobody in server 2 as well as someone who couldnt give 100% attention to server 1. Rev managed to turn up earlier than expected, midway through qual from what i gather, and pecker helped with a server too.
Not that im that bothered, but currently more Mercury members have adminned this season than Fusion, ive done each round, pecker has done 2 and rooble has done 1, with Rev's 3 appearances thats 10 from the 14/15 admins this season, and while this critisism isnt aimed at me i know i wouldnt be impressed if that was labeled at me, and i dont like the tone of that post given the event and the fact that other people are adminning your series while teammates are nowhere to be found.
As for the lag lap, i think it should be done like a parade lap, it can be done at a reasonable pace but any incidents should be dealt with just as they would in a race. In server 1 we had a couple of huge pile-ups, i think 3 drivers started out of position, IIRC Arrow was one of them, i know bawbag was and he instantly dropped from 5th to 32nd because of the poor collision detection in LFS.
Most cars arent a problem, but the open wheel cars can easily tangle and if 2 models enter each other then once the code see's it it'll go mental and start throwing people around. Combine the low grip the LX6 has and some sections of FE that will happily launch you if you touch something and it was always going to be a problematic combo. The biggest incident last season was T1 of round 3 (FE rally), a similar combo in many ways.
I agree with the "parade lap" idea, rather than everyone piling into the corner with no regard anyone because it's not a real start. During Server 2's first lag lap I started in midfield then basically came to a stop in T1. As things were starting to clear up someone hit me and sent me over the wall and into autospectate. This meant I lost my grid lost, but after the problems we had setting the grid I didn't stomp around asking for my place back even though it was a bit unfair.
Not a good race from me
I managed to do my pb in quali and got 7th place in the grid (sixth after bawbag crashed in laglap). I kept my 6th for a while, but then Falcon tried to overtake me in really stupid way. He knocked me a bit, i spun and dropped to 9th place.
Lap 42 i totally lost concentration and crashed from a 10th place to that wall after the first corner. After that my car was almost undrivable and i tried just to drive last laps without crashing anymore.
So i finished in 20th place :/
Nice recovery from Bawbag in track where is really hard to overtake.

70 million pictures per second? Holy Sh!t!!!
It wasn't your luckiest weekend was it?
anyone got the server 2 replay?
also only round 1 replays have been uploaded on the Bott site??

Seems to have svr1 & svr2 there
uhm .....
not sure how you got the idea that troy didnt finish .... maybe you saved the replay too early? or did he get a penalty after the race was finished from the officials?
anyway, he finished 12th in the actual race. Being like 100m in front of the leader, he had to do almost a whole lap after Schum finished, and on the screenshot you can see he wasnt even last to finish - speedwas was right behind him on 13th place and a few seconds after i took the screenshot polde finished 23rd...
i know a screenshot can be edited, so here´s the link to my replay:
http://rapidshare.com/files/60 ... OTTround4server2.mpr.html
but besides that, was a nice race, i enjoyed every second
edit: oh lol, now i see, there are 2 troys in the race results list, one finished12th and one DNF
You don't run LFS in a window, right?
Dream Theater playing in WinAmp...
:headbang:yes nice
Is the point standings on the way?...
lol @droemel & slogan - yeah, Dream Theater is definitely one of my personal top10bands of the century.. even if i listen to house music average 20hours per weekend
and actually yes, i AM running LFS in window mode. reason is, when i switch between windowed&fullscreen, it always screws up my anti-allallillallilalising settings, so i decided to keep it windowed - this way i can also easier change the LFS process priority to "higher then normal" in the task manager before i join any race, which provides me with smoother gaming
(you know i´m too poor to buy a faster PC, that´s why i´m also using eMule instead of ... but shhh 
)

(you know i´m too poor to buy a faster PC, that´s why i´m also using eMule instead of ... but shhh )do you happen to have an ATI card? I have the exact same issue with an x1900gt. I wish there was a fix for this, cause I am sure it is driver related.
Also, are you using atitool perhaps?
@ csurdongulos: ati yes (radeon9600), but atitools ... never heared of.
I have the same problem, x1900xtx, no atitools (used it in previous installs though) but for some reason in this installation its acting up.
Fullscreen has AA/AF no problem
windowed has nothing, its ugly as sin
go back to fullscreen and ive lost AA/AF and i cant drive that way.
What i've recently found is that its a problem locked onto the refresh rate, i dropped it to 70 from 75 and it was fine, i can go in and out as i please, although its slow because desktop is 75 and lfs is 70 so its messy but at least its better than having AA/AF vanish if i need to go to desktop for whatever reason.
Not a perfect fix, but a workaround which may help.

same problems here, another solution is to make a 3D profile for lfs in ati tray tools and just click it once you go back from desktop to lfs, no clue why it reverts the settings in first place but thats a way to get them back
*BUMP*
sorry for the delay, been busy with school starting up again.
