keep up the good work you are doing in this thread!!!

In my local comunity(2000 people) has one missing person and one criticaly injured!! it's just horrible!!!

I just don't get it... why do we have to moan about the moaners. Just leave threads like this alone and let them moan until they get blue. If it's to much the moderators will close the thread anyways... just ignore the thread all together.... the moaners moaners just keep threads like this alive

Show me another server with a real rallycross start (and only with THAT feature, it is a REAL rallycross server!) and i will change the topic!
If you cant, you should change your post!

LFS Norge RX

Quote from dekojester :

We do not enjoy having to ban people, we do not like it. I personally find it a bother and a distraction from actually running the races. But, unfortunately, there are some who decide that contravening the rules is the way to go, which sadly forces us to occasionally have to add someone to the probation or exclusions list.

What I don't like is that some people can think that I am a cheater!! It would be more clean to shame the people that was actually involved and ban the team on a general basis. I don't like being called out as a cheater when I am not! I am sure it was not your intention, but when I am listed in a post and are banned, people may think that I have cheated!! I obviously don't like being shamed like that when I am not involved in any way!! If you have any evidence proving that I have cheated then you have to be working for the same CIA-team that proved that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction :P

~b

wtf, have I cheated!! That is great, my friend robbed a bank so the police decided to arrest me just in case I am a bad guy Instead of banning all people in GSR you just have to ban drivers if they drive under the GSR team flag. And if you want to ban individual drivers it should be done based on facts not just because they happen to be in a team that has other members that cheated!!

But of curse its your league and you are entitle to ban people on your own term. You could ban people if they have the same color on their car as the one who cheated

btw, I did not even know that GSR was in GTAL The last year or so i have just been involved in rallyx and developing an rallyx insim application

Hi,

There are probably some a-ha(http://www.a-ha.com/) fans out there.
They have now decided to end their some 25 year long career. Luckily they will do one last world tour. I will certainly go to one of their concerts

Hi,

Congratulations to Obama

I guess a lot of you people don't care, but I think it's good decision by the Nobel peace comity. He has really shifted the way people think when it comes to how we handle the world. I think especially the decision to stop the rocket shield program(and reaching out to Russia) and the declaration in UN to remove nuclear weapons is important. Maybe a bit naive, but it's still important to have goals like that. I am happy(as a :monkey US is not following the the Bush-doctrine anymore.

Happy racing,(and squabbling between races)

Or maybe not

Two questions...

Is there a message sent when we get green light ?

Is it possible to cancel messages sent by a user ?

Your suggestion is fine if we do not get full support for damage reporting. It would be nice to have percentage because then we can make a smarter insim application. But I would settle for your suggestion if its to much job to do the "full implementation". I can see no reason not to implement your suggestion first and then implement some version of the other suggestion discussed in this thread after that. But not having percentage would not give full flexibility.

And some whining We need damage reporting so we can force people to drive with less risk Please please please implement it Scawen
Whining off...

Nice weather today, just -3 C deg

Quote from Gekkibi :

So if you make a track, you can't even test drive it before "track-comity" approves it? And who should be in the "track-comity"?
- Devs? I know they have lots and lots of work even without the "track-comity".
- The community? Who then? You? Me? Old farts? Newbies? Drifters? Cruisers? I know only a few who would be good for that, for example tristancliffe, Jakg and Moose... But those were only my opinions. Some wants me, lerts and the stig... And think about the endless whining that someone were rejected etc.

Yes you could test the track, but only offline(how can you ensure the quality if you can't test it ) . There will really be no point in having a track just for you own pleasure, so if you decide to make a track then you need to make it good or else it will never be used online.

The "track-comity" will most probably be a small number of trusted people in the LFS community. A good starting point would be to recruit amongst the moderators on this forum. Their job is to pre-approve a track before the devs incorporate it into LFS. The point of this is to make sure that the devs can use their valuable time on other cool stuff. The alternative is that the devs make all the tracks themselves, and that is even more time consuming.

And about the whining; if all people involved with lfs can't live with the whining then they just have to quit!! As long as there are people there will be whining! That is just a fact of life. If you can't ignore things you can't do nothing about, then you get mad What we really need to stop is the people whining about all the whiners. They are the people who keep all the "whining-threads" alive.

(We should also stop people flaming people double posting or asking questions that has been asked before. Not all people live their entire life on this forum. If people just could be civil about it... a link to the similar posts or an answer to the question should be sufficient.)

Quote from Gekkibi :

...Meaning: We have lots of rubbish added to LFS, because we have the track editor. -1

I guess you missed the part about the "track-comity"?
The point is that we don't except rubbish. That is what the "track-comity" is all about. Their job is to filter all the rubbish, hence only quality tracks will be excepted. Considering the amount of time it will take to make a quality track my guess is that there will not be a lot of new tracks added because the "track-comity" will not except just anything.

Yes off curse we want more rallyx tracks, but my guess is that rallyx is not first in the pipeline. When or if we get a track editor with possibility to add user created tracks then we could see more rx tracks.

This is rally a question of how we can get more tracks into LFS. I can see a couple of solutions. First of all we need a track editor released to the public and possibility to add custom tracks to LFS. To make sure that the quality of new tracks are good we need to have a "track-comity" that approves new tracks. We dont want a lot of rubbish added to LFS!!
Or...
The LFS team could do it them selves, but this will be a SLOW process.
Or...
The LFS team could get some good third party developers to make new tracks and then the get them included into LFS.

In my opinion we don't need more cars in LFS, I would rather see some new tracks. And hopefully rx tracks

Quote from morpha :

Well, just whine about it
Seriously though, I think both this and the damage reports are valid suggestions

I will try to wine in a polite manner

btw, I have posted this suggestion in the "Server options wishlist" thread.

Quote from Dygear :

I forget what dev handles the game engine, but I'm sure this has not gone unnoticed. A comment from a dev would be nice, but unlikely.

I sure hope so.. yes and I don't expect a public confirmation If they did that we would for sure have a million winers complaining about that their suggestion is delayed... lets just hope that it is implemented at some point. My guess is that its not to difficult to implement. Flooding could be a problem, but it could be solved by accumulating damage reports and send it at a certain point, when the race ends or when the driver disconnects/spectate.

See... http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1270159
It should be possible to add dummy player ids when sending the grid REOrder message. The reason for this is to force LFS to leave open spaces on the grid.

cut from the thread =>

I am trying to implement something I have called "spaced start order". I am running an rallyx insim application(on the "LFS Norge RX" server). The problem with rx is that there is so much close racing. I would like to make more space when the race start and all drivers hunts for victory in T1(stupid drivers :razz. The only way I can do that is by make more space on the grid.

E.g. set the grid up like this

1 2 x
x 3 4
5 6 x
x 7 8

instead of...

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8

I have tried this by setting the start order in my insim by putting in dummy player ids to create space when sending the REOrder message. But it looks like LFS is removing the gaps :-(

Is it at all possible to do what I am trying to do ??

~b

bummer... tnx for the link, and yes it looks like its not possible

Something like this should really be implemented. We really need a tool to punish aggressive driving. But I guess my sorry little request cant compete to the exciting news of physics update, Rockingham and Scirocco
I guess the only way to increase the possibility to get insim damage report is to wine about it... its seems to be the style of a lot of people on this forum. Well not only this forum but all forums on the net

Quote from Laimiss :

It does help to get better times .. I tested with XRT, FXO

Ok i agree if we are talking about bl2, but not for bl2r. But its still not an issue. Server admins just need to make a layout with tires so that people cant use the grass... and that is a really simple thing to do. This is nothing we need to bother the dev team with :P

Quote from westfield bend :

obviously not seen rallycross live before. then you would no the racing is by no means dull!! and the races are only 3 and a half laps (so you cant really get bored )

If we get native joker support it would be nice to be able to enable and disable jokerlap :P
But I prefers jokerlap, so on my RX server there will always be a jokerlap...
I hope new RX tracks has room for designing a jokerpath in different parts of the track, so that we can make different layouts for every track. This will make the (hopefully in the near future) new tracks flexible when you combine them with a joker enabled insim app like we are running in LFS Norge RX.

Quote from EliteAti :

Corrected. And "LFS Norge RX" Server 1 and 2 have already this Insim on use, i like it very much and it should be implemented in LFS by default so i agree with you.

LFS Norge RX2 is just a test/development server. LFS Norge RX is the place to go...

Basically its just 2 rx tracks... no one seems to likes fe5(r). And yes its not many, but still we have a lot of quality racing in the RX community. Obviously there should be more rx tracks, but the biggest problem in LFS is the "flying cars, crash bug". RX has a lot of close racing and if you add a bit of lag on-top of the "flying cars, crash bug" you sometime get a lot of mess :something

Quote from diNOSaur :

I don't think so
Even with XFG fastest racers get 0.3-0.4 second faster time with grass.

I don't belive you
Go to LFS Norge RX, we are using XRT and FXO, and look at all the fast drivers.
Compere them with drivers using the grass. You can see that they loose time on the grass.

Maybe XFG is a diffrent story ??

But I still don't belive you

This is not an issue. You loose time by going on the grass because you can't use the full length of the straight to accelerate. I run an RX server(LFS Norge RX) and all the fast drivers keep off the grass, because you loose time...
