New toy, although it's an older bike it's legendary.

Desired Race Number (from 000 to 999, inclusive):500
Desired Car: RB4

Sadly I lost all my skins and setups during a re-install of windows.
I had a really good RB4 set.
Thing is I always shared it when asked, so I know someone must have it (or a good set). Now I need one you could hear a pin drop and see tumbleweed roll by whenever I ask lol.

The banning in this game does seriously need to be looked at I think. I was pretty much singled out for a very minor error while calamity was ensuing around and got banned. (Not an FM server )
It needs to be a bit more transparent in my view. CTRA had a very good way with dealing with bans through the whole appeal system and was quite fair.
There seems to be an ever increasing amount of Admins with the ban stick who maybe take it a step too far, especially on us long termers.
FM's servers are quite fair in that they will kick people first, I've even seen second chance kicks then a ban. Then once banned you can have it out on their forums.
If you are kicked they will explain why and ask you to remedy/resolve the issue.
I think this much fairer than say a 6 day instant ban for minor infractions.

(I will not name the server I was banned from, they know who they are).

too much unclean racing.... if you try to be fair in one corner, you will be shot off the track in the next corner as a "thank you"...

Hi,
recently when looking at my stats I noticed it said I was in some crappy drift team. I very rarely if ever even go on drift servers let alone join some team. I have never joined a team anyway, yet somehow I appear to be in one. Anyone have any ideas? Or how to leave it?

I've just added this app.
I might be being a bit dumb, but I can't see the app? What's it under?

Quote from Crashgate3 :

Off work and bored today, so I made this. Feel free to use it

I lol'd at that. I'm going to use it too, it's great and I have to say very original.

What about when you are hit hard into a barrier (usually the red/white ones that launch you) and you take the wrong route?
You go to rejoin and the race is full, race restarts and you have to sit it out. It happens quite a bit.

You like?

Love it.

I reformatted and forgot to back up my skins.
How do I download them from LFS world?

Quote from beefyman666 :

Nice. Not overly keen on the paintjob, but love the bike itself.

Is that an FZR infront?

Very observant
Yes it's the FZR 1000.

Here's my R1.

Quote from SamH :

We can't force someone to appeal if they don't want to!

We're very serious about stopping people removing others from the grid, and the mandatory ban is an indication of that. Once we're satisfied that someone understands that they can't do it in their appeal, we always convert the ban to a warning. We insist on ensuring that the message gets through.

An instant ban I believe is the right thing to do. You are not to know what's malicious or not.
That said it is a flaw I believe in the design of the game, and if you are unfamiliar with the screen that appears you can very quickly find yourself doing something wrong unintentionally.
As it appears this is something that is open to abuse then like I say a ban should be mandatory and then sorted afterwards by way of appeal. As mods you will know what's isolated and what's not.
I decided to serve the ban because not knowing the games menus is really bad on my part

Cars I'd like to see,
The old Group C sports cars Mazda, Toyota, Jaguar. Drools.
If not maybe the class that took over LMP1 and LMP2's maybe? (I mean the current incarnations).
A bike engined formula would be really cool, something like F1000 or GT Lights.

Where is Geoff Crammond when you need him.

Quote from Christopher Raemisch :

I would suggest appealing the admins decision. the ban is mandatory, but we may be able to work something out if the message came across properly that you shouldn't be removing drivers from the grid.

Hi,
I think it would be unfair to become an exception, so I will serve the ban. I just think it's a bit harsh if you are not sure what to do considering it's the dynamics of the game.
Android:
I've not been S2 licensed for 4 years, look at my post count. I only played occasionally when I was demo and S1.
Hell I'm not really even that good at the game, I play because I love motor racing and I love the game.
Peace out, I don't hold nothing against MP3 Astra (I've raced with him on FM servers) and will see you all again after the 30 days.

Look at the logs of how much I've played on your servers recently, I think the ban is a bit harsh for genuine mistakes.
This is a flaw in the game, not your servers.

Hi,
It was me, I was unsure as to what I was doing as I usually miss the start on a map change.
I did apologize and said I didn't know what I had done and just got a "yeah right, getting banned" from MP3 Astra.
I will serve the ban and continue to play on CTRA servers thereafter. A warning during track change explaining not to mess with the list would be a help. Not everyone will know what the screen does.

Quote from ACCAkut :

great, had that idea in mind too. We need more non-racing company skins
But you could have made it bit higer resultion, and the edges need rework too imo

Feel free to edit it
