The online racing simulator
not keen on the columns
Sorry to say Sam, but I really don't like the columns for the drivers listing in the servers page. Hope you don't mind me saying so. I love the site and use it all the time but that page now looks cluttered rather than clean

Is that an infinite loop?? <g>

I'm happier with the page now. It's less long, which was imperative, and I quite like the columns. For now, it's staying this way. I'll revisit it at some point in the future, when I re-devise the method for retrieving the information about who's racing.

Pfft, what are you talking about?

fair enough Sam... was just a lot easier with one long list to gauge how busy the server was AND look at who was on. Now its a little cluttered... but if you are happy... thats what counts!

I agree, it's not so visually obvious that a server is busy or quiet, but if you train yourself to look at the gauges, it's very easy to see which the busy servers are. It's just a small change in mindset that's needed

Nice - you've put up little pictures of the cars that you can use!

A small, but groovy addition!
yeah, i like this new feature a lot

Now what would be cool would be if the cars were not in the default skins.


How about loading up skins from the top 5 CTRA Teams

Honestly, it was a pain in the bum to get these images consistently out of the CMX viewer. Every time I changed car, all the CMX settings were reset, including lighting, background colours etc. The only way to do it quickly and effectively was to pick the left side view (adequately lit by default light heading etc) and screenshot.

We can't render skins on the server because we can't invoke the required 3D rendering engine over RDC. We did have a plan, once upon a time, to render userbars with cars skinned in the individual's last used skin, but it turned out to be impossible for us to do
