i dont see the point of this thread, although scawen gave the instructions how the installer do not enter any values in the registry. so whats the point? the installer has no disadvantages, but some advantages, so imo it's good to have one

you can take a look to the OWRL (http://www.owrl.de). there is a FO8 championship, but you can not enter this directly, you have to qualify for that through achiving a good result in the DivB-championship. the FO8 championship is called DivA league. it's really worth to go through DivB, there is really close and fair racing and when you did this, imo the people you meet in DivA are one of the best you can meet in single seaters.

okay, my mistake in some technical listings its included, for example the BMW335i: http://www.edmunds.com/insidel ... leId=121462/pageId=125984

No, the 0.9G in the first post is for lateral acceleration rather than longitudinal acceleration. 0.09G is very low for a longitudinal acceleration...at that rate of constant G force it would take over 30 seconds to go from 0-60mph.

did i understand it wrong? in the first post i think he asks, if 0.9g is too much for XRG and longitudinal acceleration, but in the screenshot the longitudinal acceleration is 0.09g

i dont understand your problem, because you wrote about supercars nearly hitting the 0.9g. i think for the cars in the magazine, it's meant acceleration. in your screenshot the XRG has 0.09g acceleration forces, the 0.9g you see in the shot are the "sideway forces", so i dont understand the base of the discussion. i think 0.09g is nearly realistic for a car like XRG and forces more than 0.9g you can have in normal cars, when you are driving fast corners :P

i saw all this and took a look into the code, but dont understand, why it only write out the html-version and no other one
if i use it with replays the only version is html, all other output-versions seem to be disabled, that's why i asked.

can anybody help me? how to enable the csv-output?

i think the easiest way to use results from lfsworld would be a possibility to export the detailed race data on lfsworld with something like a link in race datails view to export a propper xml file, which can be used as result upload for lfsnews?? this will shorten the path for authors a lot and all data can be used ???

thx for the answer no problem with the replay uploads, i was unsure about automatic analysing, this would be the only reason it would be important to upload it.

i have some questions according the results for a news.

1. atm there is a good solution to upload a propper xml-file. is there any software available to extract such a file? (from mpr's or lfsworld race results) one thought i had with this: all races are available from lfsworld, what about a way to select a past race (perhaps depending on a driver name in it or something like this)? all the data is available and could be used, or?

2. i used the interface to post some news from the OWRL. but the mpr's are all to big to upload. what is the solution, when i have a 2 hours race and want to upload the replay? not possible? (do i understand it correctly, that mpr's will be parsed for extracting the results?)

thx

i hope this was not asked in this thread before (i did not read all posts), but i have a question, some kind of extension, or correct me, if the LFSSTats already do this: how about including an export option to export the results in xml format lfsnews accepts for uploading results ? if there is any other solution for exporting such a file for this, pls teach me

keep up the good work

do you have any other controller than the G25 connected to your pc? there are problems in lfs, when there is a second controller (gamepad or smth like this)

amp88 is right, it's not possible to get info about fuel in multiplayer with insim. if you mean "control" the the sense of setting the amount of fuel, then this is not possible in any way. the only possible way is the alreasy named OutGage interface, but you dont need to analyze a saved spr. you can do it directly, only opening an insim port for the outgage app. as an example you can take a look at http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=52787 . you can watch the values on another pc than lfs is running on, so perhaps this is what you need

To the guys above...what was the point in posting if you didn't know what the OP wanted? He asked in good English, so it wasn't a question of understanding broken English written by someone using a translator. If you don't know anything about something don't post. Go back to spamming Off Topic

well said

i think i wrote this some time ago, but worth to repeat it :
could it be possible to insert buttons in the gui, so you can force the display of standings (positions/pitstops) ? this would be really usefull, when you grab only short scenes from a race, but you wanna have the usefull standing info shown. atm i think it's random, or?

did you know that?

http://sls.simracing.pl/

i run lfs on vista64 without any problems

really great to hear about development in that direction

some good ideas were given about automation, analyzing mpr's and providing stats about that is a very important thing. i'm a little bit experienced in writing race reports and the most important for me is have informations to understand what was going on in the race. some used race stats have a "race time progress"-graph and it's a good information base, but i think the info in the mpr are more detailed as usaly shown. so one idea could be to have some kind of sophisticated analyse tool (as idea: zoomable race graphs), so report writers can pick the right scenes in the replays. i think the most people do it like this (if they were not part of the race or present as admin), you need information to put a good race report together.

for transfering news my suggestion would go to html. perhaps leagues can upload their css-files to have a unique style when rendering. with that you can do the most things which are important and writers know how it will be rendered.

an automation according to pictures could be some overlayer, the admins can upload and when they upload screenshots the overlay will be added to the resulting images, so as an example, all pictures from one league have the league logo and league url within the image and the images get a unique league dependent style too.

when it goes to other topics beside automating news, i have a lot of ideas. imo the most missing place is one, where league interested racers can find all needed info about existing leagues. and on the other side is providing a good league presentation a lot of coding work and imo the biggest step to go to start a league. from the view of a racer i wannan know all conditions of a league, their rules set, durations, tracks, participants, stats about participants, a tracker for upcoming events (ingame ) and a lot more. from the admin point you need a lot of tools for managing participants, making standings, organize race marshalls to view live races or analyze complaints, adding penalties and also here a lot more.

i think the most racers dont know a lot of leagues, there are some very well known ones but it's very hard to get all the stuff together to provide a well organized league. so the news are a very good start to provide information about the existing leagues, so everbody can recognize them. providing an interface for all aspects of league administration would really, really be a great and unique feature to lfs

there are 2 ways you can do it:
1. you use some svn-client (http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads) and then you use the following url to check-out the project:
2. or you go to the homepage (http://liveforspeed.codemacher ... SWFramework/browser/trunk) there is a link to download all as zip archive. i think the most important info you also find on the beginning of the install-guide on the page.

but atm i dont know exactly, if the "normal" version will run, i did a lot of changes according the owrl and did not check all side-effects on the current standard tracker. the goal is to port the last changes to the standard tracker, so it also uses the new features.

this week there was some more work in specializing the tracker for the owrl. so if you are interested, take a look here

you need to install this on you pc and then the links work

the events will be on saturday, start is 19:30 CEST. i think at 22:00 all is over so if you are free, pls pm me and we discuss in detail, i'm in contact with another guy who wanna help, so we must coordinate

i think, atm we are more looking for someone who joins the server on raceday and do the broadcast thing. i think we can only support with commentary, so one of us could be in a voice chat and can act as co-commentator. atm we dont have one with the pc and the bandwidth to realize an upstream by ourselfs. that's why i was asking more for people can provide a "whole in one hand"-solution for the last 3 races of the current season.

for the next season one of the first steps is to evaluate all the existing broadcast plattforms for our needs

hi community,

i have a request or question to the community and perhaps somebody can help. the topic is live broadcasting of lfs race events. the OWRL (www.owrl.de) wants to broadcast races of their master league, the OWRL F1. for the next season (starting spring 2009) there are plans in mind to build the infrastructure to broadcast the races. the question or request is: is there anybody who is able to broadcast live events and who would do this for the rest of the current season (3 races left)?

the races are on saturday at 19:30 CEST with a quali and then a 300km race. if anybody can help us with that topic and is able to broadcast events, pls contact us (pm me, or mail Krutch on the owrl-homepage).

if anybody has experience with broadcast-plattforms which easily allow to broadcast yourself in good quality, pls. write down the info, really any help is welcome and the aim would be to have the race next staturday live broadcasted.

thanks for your help
