Quote from MandulAA :

I know you got it fixed, but include the solution so others who face this issue can see it Was it your rented server set to demo/s1/s2 mode while loading up an S3 track?

Yes exactly. RO is an S3 track and I had it set to S2. Set it to S3 and that was the solution.

Never mind, found the setting and all good.

Set my rented server up for RO Oval and got this error message
Selected track requires higher host mode

What do I need to do?

Only by a few years lol

Noobs?

lol

Mine current one

Has this started yet? If not sign me up too!!

Spam? Did someone say spam?

I think it would be acceptable to start out in the pits after a track change rather than on the start grid.

What are you on about you sad little man?

lol

That makes it 7pm my time. I will try to be there....

So, UK time - is that the same as GMT now?

I wanted mine to be just plain Hammer. That name was taken by someone from Hong Kong that had never used it. Still today the person has 0 stats..... oh well

Shift/U works fine for me too
I/m getting 20-25 fps with a full grid
I still have the stutter when someone leaves the pits
I lost connection to host once, that seldom happens to me
Once while connecting - did not receive guest info

Ctrl + 1, ctrl + 2, etc., change colors also.

Much appreciated !

Greets!
I just received a G15 keyboard that has programmable macro keys. I am trying to program one to enter colored text but the old way of doing color doesn't seem to work any longer. What I mean is we used to have to do "^4" to change text to dark blue. The only way to change text color now is to hit control and click a color..... or am I missing something?

When I program a macro, or try to manually change text in chat, I get the commands displayed along with the words such as "^4 lfs rules" (without the quotes of course).

Cant connect says username is all ready online.

Me too

non-alcoholic? whats that?

Quote from Eleanor SpeedGT :

Is that jump server in patch W? or some testpatch?

The jump server is currently at patch W17 so you will find it by using 17, 21, 23, 24, etc.....

The [noobs] team aren't "noobs", they're just idiots.

Oh, what am I saying?

Save yourself some work and log into our [noobs] Jump! server

Quote from Shotglass :

iirc scawen already posted that htis wont happen
the reason is simply that this would completely eliminate the point of having different cars in the first place

Thats what this thread is all about though, balancing out the cars to make them more even. I agree, if they are all the same then we would only need one car.... let the differences be... thats ok with me!

What I was trying to say initially is that the 2 gtr's are pretty matched and the FXR is slow in comparison - on the oval. Thats it.

Certainly there will be differences on every track. I wonder if a car handicap could be built into the track code so that when gtr's are run on oval, the FXR would have 20 more horsepower and when run on as1 the car that is disadvantaged there would have whatever was determined to make it close to the others.... see what I mean? Maybe we should just call it good enough and run what works for each of us. I mean, we could pick this thing apart forever and not come to an agreement....... Either that or introduce the COT class

Quote from Flotch :

top speed is not affected a lot by the weight or the grip of the tires , so the oval is clearly a bad idea to tell wich car is the fastest or not (in most cases). It is better to take a track like Kyoto GP long, wich will tell you exactly wich car is the best for medium/fast track , and then you can find what is the tune to make the GTR cars competitive (ie : FZR could still the fastest, but with a XRR only 3-4 tenths slower and faster by some tenths than the FXR ; like this you should see the FXR faster on small tracks, and XRR competitive on the fast aston tracks...)

So by that way of thinking if I add 10,000 pounds to my XRR, or run my tires with 3 pounds in them, it will still go around the oval just as fast as it does now. I think not. Weight does matter and so do tires.
