To Becky et al:

Now I've had a play and investigate the most of the menus and features I can only doff my cap to you all for a great piece of work.

Granted there may be teething problems but with such a massive upgrade it's not too surprising.

It's amazing the time and effort taken by fans to create such a structured, organised and most excellent addition to the LFS community, and I for one say, thank you all

CTRA, pheonix from the flames :yipee:

Quote from The General Lee :

As I said on the server Becky and Sam, great stuff...I love it :lovies3d:

Would be better if Deko wasnt chatting his crap all night

Hoi, we were both as bad as each other

The system is really great, well done

One question though. Is it supposed to be so that mid-race joins count as a non-finished race, and thus count for your retirements rate?

Hmmm interesting. I'd have to think on that, personally I feel that mid race rejoining is practicing at the expense of racers. We allow it, but as you'll have seen from the blue flag 'in no uncertain terms' you are expected to steer clear. I'll have to think about what to do with races and finishes for mid race joiners.

Counting a mid-race join as DNF sounds a little harsh. When I first join a server I like a few laps mid-race to warm up before starting from the grid, so I don't like the idea of being penalised for that.

I raced a bit on CTRA 1 this afternoon, and had some sort of bug I think.
I know that mid race joiners get messages to let the other racers pass, but not like 20 in 10 sec? I got spammed on SO Classic when I was unable to let the other pass.

Dunno if it has been suggested already, but I'd find it handy if the $results screen appeared when you stopped the car instead of when you cross the finish line.

I've changed the mid race join system to not register the race entry.

whats the point on the additional "WAVED" ?

Yes Yes and again, YES!!!!!! Finaly, we have a good autocross system!

I especialy love autoX, and was waiting for someone to do a good job on progressing this aspect of the game, so I can enjoy it both here and IRL on a simmilar level. THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!!:woohoo::rally_dri

Still eagerly awaiting the S-S servers, what time today will they be up at?

In 47 minutes.

Problems here... it says "Passengers are not allowed on this server" it kicks me out although (i double checked it twice (four times)) i have no passengers
and sometimes it says "mid race joins are not permitted during first lap"... but it was in lap 5

TFalke55 - its a corrupted set, i'll be notifying Scawen once i've looked at the problem. I believe it's something to do with some old option thats been removed from the game but I need to do some analysis.

The mid race join is because of the software restarting.

the passengers thing is related to old setups causing some kind of problems
try it with a different one and it should work

for the mid race join becky probably just restarted the software at this moment
so it takes one lap for it to notice there is actually more driven laps then 2

edit: to slow :P

I usually wait in the pits 'till the last place racer goes by then tag on to the end.

If I start to catch up with last place, I don't pressure, I just ease back a little. If first place catches up with me, I usually pit again in good time before I start getting in the way.

Maybe someting like this could be in the rules, so people can still warm up without affecting the race?

Exciting isn't it, peering through the text trying hard not to hit anyone!

Yeah have to admit you've done well here Becky, although I find the end of race results page a pain in the arse.

K bye.





Edit: bio is a noob. haha.

i think you´ve really done some nice system there

couldn´t spot a single thing that would be annoying, guess the ctra servers will be full all day .

really nice job
