Hey guys!
I really searched the forum to make sure i am not suggesting something for the 10. time.
The question seems so obvious i fear that my suggestion will end up like the rain suggestion in another threat

But what about a day/night cycle for long distance races or shorter night races like in the champ car series. i already love to watch those races but driving them would be much better

100% true, we definitly need much more 12H races.

thx man

sorry about my messages again. i wanted to grap my bottle of water. well i spilled it over keyboard, mouse and wheel. it was quite of a mess, had some weird things going on because of that, i apologize

the dumb ones have to learn it the hard way
of course i am only talking about myself.

at least now i learned what "appeals" means.
I am against deleting posts even if i would badly like to in this case so consider my second last post as "inane". (yeah i looked it up...)

yes, there are some problems, but nevertheless i think its a great tool.

ok,
BUT: i didnt have the time to call the admins with a sentence like "a guy crashed into me and i want you to review what happened cos i think it was a quite rude maneuver of the other guy". i am sorry if my saying didnt show good manners (even tho i think its not rude enough to cause a penalty) but it wasnt meant to be a "senseless" message. You know, racing and talking/writing doesnt fit quite well and i read in the forum that messages are allowed to call the admins.
Really, i am not mad or something, no big deal, but i dont feel comfy with this decision. i am still convinced i did nothing wrong. there are worse things going on that are not penalized.


Edit:
Well sometimes i seem to have problems reading & UNDERSTANDING things. Perhaps you can help me. I thought i could type a message in case i want you to watch what happened. My bad. Now i read it again but i still do not understand the "form" thingie we have to fill out. And to be honest, i couldnt remember who it was and when it was after my stint.

Sry again mates for my stupidity...

Just another question.

Why did the ghostaholic racing team a drive through penalty 1 minute ago?? P. van Diffelen (the driver) has no clue what he might have done wrong, he was in the middle of the track all alone.

now that i am here again i will take the opportunity to thank you for your replies and to tell you what exactly the problem was.
Plain and simple, it was my harddrive. It still worked without any problems but it was getting slower and slower. So i didnt think about the possiblity that it could have been the problem.
But i tried another HD and now i got no problems anymore. Everything is fine.

PS: for microsoft FF wheel users (gameport edition). when ff doesnt work like it should try to press shift+c a couple of times.....perhaps many times. Sometimes it takes me minutes to fix it. You can see it it worked when no "set property failed" does not appear after pressing shift+c. But it DOES work!
Another thing i found out (perhaps coincidence) is that when i am using windows media player, switch to another song and go back into LFS ff is working also. Sometimes, here also, i need several tries to fix the problem.
I hope it helps some ppl!

i hope i am allowed to post my first impressions in here!

1) sorry for my "WTF" message. i dont know what this guy thought when he crashed full speed into me. (no hard feelings tho)
2) sorry waltz for my little touch. tried everything not to hit you

Now i want to thank you, the MoE-organizers, for this great opportunity to participate in such an event. Especially because i am fully aware of us being still noobs in this game. Which is good for you, we will do our best not to stand in the way and ruining anybodies race.
I am still hoping getting an award for fairest team (just kiddin')

I wish everybody good luck most sincerely, have fun and again thx for the responsables of "MoE"

Hello everybody!
I got a strange problem playing LFS cos there shouldnt be any problems at all.
My specs:
P4 3.0 MHZ
Gefroce 6800 GT (new drivers 77.77)
1 BG RAM (2x512MB Corsair Value select)
Asus P4P 800 E deluxe
Hyundai LCD L90D+
MS sidewinder FF wheel (gameport)
Win XP SP2

Now the problem is that i get frames from 19 up to 35 (50max rarly). Sometimes, with many cars on track, or in the city circuit its impossible to steer exactly. No wonder with 19 frames. I really tried many different things, another controller, other drivers, even bios and stuff like that. win XP is a fresh installation.
The "funny" thing is that it makes no difference in single player or multiplayer, with low or high grafic settings. its always the same FPS.

Now, after spending much money on hardware, may i ask you how can it be that i got this problem?
Hope you can help me, i really love playing this game, but under those conditions its impossible to enjoy it entirely.

Regards,
VR
