Welcome back Thilo !!!

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Good initiative I guess, but why don't you guys stick on setupgrid/setupfield?

Because like Silverracer said, some people get sets from setupgrid, inferno, etc. and then they tweak them a bit to suit their style. Sometimes it improves the setup. I guess it all depends on a persons driving style and the feel he/she is looking for.


Thanks for the comments.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Nah, I've absolutely no hard feelings about you at all, no worries... Was just explaining the situation a bit, since someone running flat-out into someone else under SC might look a bit weird from the outside.

You didn't end my race anyway, I just lost 2 places.

Anyway that's strange, why can't you go to manual? Shifter not working? I mean, you should fix that if possible, because it represents quite a huge disavantage.

No, it's because I'm paralyzed from the chest down and I can only use my right arm to drive with a joystick. I can't push any buttons for shifting, can only steer and use throttle/brake with the joystick.

I'm very sorry for ending your chances too Yann. I use auto-gears because I have no choice not to, and I slowed just enough for my car to drop to 1st gear which caused me to spin around. You have no idea how bad I feel about that. The very last thing I want is to end someones race.

My sincere apologies to anyone else involved.

Is there anyone out there willing to share a setup for this race? I would greatly appreciate it. Please??

I just noticed something in TFalkes PM, are we doing this round in one segment instead of a sprint race and a feature race?

18:45 Race - 44 Laps (+1 formation lap). Standing Start. 2 hour time limit. Compulsory pitstop, all tyre change between leader lap 11 and 33 (LFS 12 and 34).

I just wanted to confirm whether this was correct or not.

Cya on the track.

Thank you Timo.

I know it's a dumb question, but how do you open the stream using the external link in the VLC player? I've tried before, and it didn't work.

Very well done Veijalainen !!

The race looked like it went smoothly. Everyone showing respect for each other by not blocking and heeding the blue flag. You guys drove a very good race.

Now we just need more drivers.

DjBlueIce, you just had some bad luck with your ISP, that had to be frustrating. Maybe they will get it fixed for you.

Cya on the track

ok, ty

Quote from phatdragonx :

The system was pretty intuitive and cool. I liked it.

I agree, the start grid app was a nice addition.

One question for deko, I had an "OK" in my heads up display when you told me to move up/or back, what was I doing wrong so I don't do it again??

Congrats to the guys on the podium, and thanks to NDR.

Good race guys.

Quote from no_one :

If u still need a setup let me know I will send you one. Don't worry too much about R1's overheating here as the corners are quite gentle so they shouldn't take too much from the tyres. Also if you haven't already, make sure the set you are using has the tyre pressures set to max (on the right atleast) as this will help keep the tyres cool.

I think I found a decent setup for this race.

Thank you sir.

Could someone send me a setup please?? Everything I'm finding at setupgrid or Inferno is either burning up those r1's, or it isn't fast enough.

Thank you.

TYVM Deutschland2007, I really appreciate that.

Quote from Deutschland2007 :

No, as the LLSS logo is also diffrent.

Oh, so my skin is wrong then I guess. I'll have to see if I can find someone to put the LLSS logos on my skin for me. I'm not a skinner.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Actually, I don't understand some people. See, I totally dedicated my life to LFS... I mean, I'm not addicted, it's just that I've no social life, so instead of hanging out with friends or doing some other stuff, I spend all my spare time on internet, mainly on LFS. I'm either playing or doing LFS related stuff(working on several projects, skinning, chatting with LFS players) several hours a day. On holidays, I will even spend most of my day online... I've had more than 110.000 kilometers online, and I raced more official races than anyone else in the game according to the spdoDB... And I do not even feel bored with that game, at all! I love the community so much, I love LFS so much, and I do not even feel like waiting for a new patch. I'm just enjoying the current content, and I'm not expecting any new features in the next few months/years. If the devs release something interresting in the future, I would feel it'd be like a bonus for me.

Now, it's amazing that the majority of the people complaining about the patch couldn't even be bothered to race in at least 1 official event, or doing at least one single useful thing for the community... And afterwards, they think they've the legimity to ask for new free updates I mean, what the hell. They should rather feel happy to have discovered, once in their life, one of the most realistic racing sim ever, and that they paid it for, let's say... 1/3 the price of any crappy EA game, that's it?

If those people feel bothered, why don't they just piss off and let those who actually enjoy the game in peace? Hey people, why don't you let down the game, for, I don't know, iRenting perhaps? And enjoy the 20$ fees for any new car

So... Long life LFS, no worries, there will still be people enjoying the game for what it is now, and not what they want it to be. I am sure that those people represent the majority, but that they can't even be bothered to express their opinion on the official forum because of the trolls hanging around...

Well said Yann, I agree with you!!! I am having fun with this great sim the way it is now in it's current state of development. I'm just as anxious as the next person about the update, but I'm not going to make negative posts about it. When Scawen (& others) are ready to release the update, they will. Until then I'm going to keep on racing and having fun with lfs.

Here you go.

Sorry TFalke

I don't see anything about which qualify session I'm in.

Quote from Rocket47 :

Don't worry, you're not the only one I suppose Maybe we can fight for the bottom positions.

I'll most likely be behind you at the rear of the pack. I'm still trying to find a good setup.
