LFS user: Pantera70

Team: iCON Racing

A great round... looked really exciting from an admins point of view, now just need to sit up to 12 watching the broadcast on demand.

Thanks to all the drivers and see you all at Aston

Hi all,

ICON Racing has become 1 year old....

It has been a very good first year for ICON and none of us can believe how far we have taken the team. This has been capped by the success of the iTCC and a big thank you goes to RacSim Servers, the commentary team and of course all the iTCC drivers...

I'd also like to thank our team members for their dedication throughout the last year and I'm looking forward to what we can achieve in the next 12 months.

Regards

Quote from Bft-Master :

Hi,

Dennis Lind quit Renesis team.

He was associated to Eric Bitan for Renesis Team #2...

Can we put another pilot for the rest of ITCC ?

We are happy for you to replace Dennis seeing as he has left Renesis. Obviously Renesis #2 will lose his points and the replacement driver will need to sign up for the shootout.

Regards

Darren

Great... More CoRe drivers to dominate the iTCC

Best of luck Roland, you couldn't have picked a better team (well apart from one other )

Hi all,

ICON Racing sites have now been updated with a complete face lift. This include the iTCC site and ICON TV which broadcasts all ICON and iTCC events live. A chat room has been added to ICON TV (no registration required)

In addition copies of the ICON News writen by Tom Madl can be downloaded via the downloads page including the latest edition which has the interview with LFS devs Eric and Victor.

Hi all,

We have updated the ICON TV site which broadcasts all iTCC events live. The site also gives access to OnDemand replays and now includes a chat room. The chat room requires no registration, just pick any name and login.

Any problems let me know

RaceSIMs support to our servers (supplied by RaceSIM) and the iTCC has been second to none. I'd like to thank you guys for all your efforts.

I can only say the same as everyone else... Highly recommended...

We will be releasing a guideline on expected driving standards under SC. Although these won't be set rules for Fern Bay, we will be monitoring things over the 3 races and hope we can see better driving should we need to deploy the SC . After Fern Bay we'll look to put something firmly into the league rules. Just want to make sure the guidelines have the desired effect....

The one thing I would stress is that common sense needs to be applied on SC restarts, we can all easily blame the guy in front, but please consider that under ANY race condition it is your responsibility to ensure you do not hit the driver you are following. When I speak about the guy in front, I'm not speaking specifically about Rudy (there is a protest in place with regards to the second restart), I mean the whole field.

I was also supprised to see people going of track in an attempt to warm their tyres. By all means keep your tyres warm, but do we really need to throw the car around so much for an extra couple of degrees.

As for the bumping and pushing... I'm not going to say the admin team will let dangerous or wreckless driving go without a penalty, infact we will be hard on people that drive stupid. But with regards to LIGHT bumping and pushing "Welcome to Touring Cars".....

Quote from BigTime :

Qualifying, shootout?

We'll have these available soon...

Quote from J@tko :

I'm DNS in Race 1, not DNF

Well if you DNS in Race 1, you definately DNF in Race 1

The single server format will stand for this season. The standard of driving for the Warm Up event were extremely high and we are keen to keep it that way. With the final slots being filled by the shootout it ensures the best drivers on the day make the final grid and the driving standards are maintained throughout the season. As Deko rightly says it also provides a reward for good performance and dedication.

In addition we do not want to over do the league. Adding additional servers would only dilute the resources available to the league and therefore deduce everybodies experience. We want to provide the community with a great series that is enhanced by the live broadcast which has already proved very successful. Although we would not rule out a second server for future seasons, it is our opinion at this time that ICON would best serve the LFS community by keeping the format as is.

Amazing work... So impressed it's currently embedded into the iTCC Homepage

OK, we have gone with BenjiMC's design for the number plates. Only thing I've changed is replaced the font with "Impact" and reduced the size a little to allow for double digits.

You can download here or via the iTCC and ICON Websites...

@ BenjiMC...

The number boards will be uploaded again tonight with the numbers being editable text layers... For those who want to go ahead they are in "Impact"...

ICON Racing is now 6 months old and we are looking to recruit 1 or 2 additional drivers. ICON is purely a racing team... sorry guys no drift, drag or cruise... and we would like to hear from drivers who are interested in being PART of a team and not just in a team.

ICON has enjoyed the last six months and has entered drivers into several leagues including the recent 16hrs of Kyoto and title win for Joe in the RaceSim Formula500. We also run team events every wednesday on our dedicated server supplied by 500servers who also supply our TS server. These events are open to everyone (just a quick plug) and have proven great fun and a good place for the team to meet on a regular basis. In addition we will be launching our own league - RACCAR in early 2009.

Good Luck Guys... From all at ICON Racing

We'll see you real soon

Following the first ICON Racing tryout session tonight we are please to announce a new name to the ICON stable.

THOMAS MADL

Thomas or ICON TOM as he will now be known, has raced against Joe and myself many times and after joining the tryout session tonight proved himself to be exactly what we are looking for. He makes an excellent first addition to the team and we look forward to seeing him in action wearing ICON colours....

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone else who attended tonights session and made it so enjoyable.

Once again a big welcome to Tom and we hope to see you all soon...

The ICON Racing tryouts are tonight....

The tryouts will be held on our server which will be renamed to:-

ICON Racing - Team Tryouts

The server will be shut down from approx 5pm GMT today and will be restarted at about 6.45pm GMT for the tryouts to start at 7pm GMT.

The format will be as follows:

7pm - 7.30pm Open practice (Joe and myself will also be open to questions).
7.30pm - 8.30pm 4 laps races of AS North.
8.30pm - 9pm Debrief

(Depending on how things go, we may have 1 or 2 races afterwards for which we will take a vote on Track, Car, Laps etc, just for fun)

You will be informed as to which car to use in each race and we will only start a race once everyone is ready. As a reminder, although we are setting this up in race format this event is not about who comes first...

After each race we will give people a chance to chat and ask questions (please DO NOT start asking questions during a race)

We hope to see some of you later

Kind Regards

Thanks guys for all your comments... Like Joe said we're looking forward to Thursday and hoping to find some like minded drivers.

During the evening we will be looking at peoples race craft and can only recommend that anyone attending drives within their ability... being the fastest will NOT make Joe or myself go WOW... Showing good control and technic will...

Anyone is welcome to attend. But please, if things get busy don't hog a slot if your not seriously looking for a team...

Hope to see you all soon

1st: When i turn my wheel very slightly to the left, in the game the car turns already completely to the left and the same happens when i turn it to the right

I always get this when I first use the wheel. Full lock left then right sorts it out.

Quote :

2nd: when i turn my wheel to the middle it starts drastically shaking automatically.

Again something I experience a lot, but again the lock to lock method sorts it out

Quote :

3rd: I have a force feedback wheel. The force feedback completely disappears when I launch Live for Speed

When I plug the momo in the FF makes the wheel very hard to turn, then when I fire up LFS the FF backs off and the wheel become very easy to turn. It's only when I join a race (leave the pits) that the FF starts putting tension against the wheel again.

Quote :

4th: Pedals does not work at all. I tried calibrating it and it detects on the profiler but nothing happens ingame

Not experienced this one

I definately think this is a calibration issue, but as said before I'm not that technical... I'll take some screenshots of my LFS setting tonight and post. Try copying my settings and we'll all keep our fingers crossed for you.

I use the momo and found that my drivers seemed to go bad on a regular basis...

There should be a couple of folders called logitech (one in program files & one in documents and settings I believe).

The info that I was given was to uninstall wingman, delete everything in those two folder (as long as the wheel is the only logitech device you use) and then reinstall...

As for going straight to full lock, try turning the wheel too full lock in both directions (I also have to push both pedals to full)... Seems to sort that problem out for me...

Hope this helps a little. Sorry can't help more, I'm not that technical...

Excellent work... We have added it to our server and it works like a dream.... So a big thanks from ICON Racing

Is there anyway of displaying a message once users are in the server explaining the restrictions we've applied?

thats it i'm ripping the home phone out the wall.... Sticking to the Mobile and buying a Harley....
