Sounds great!

S1H6 is the oldest version still supported by the master server AFAIK. You can get it here: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/72803

At which value did you set button control rate?(Option > Controls) If you say you are struggling to keep it straight on corner exit, maybe the value is a bit too high(ie: it goes from no throttle to full throttle too quickly). I'd suggest to set it to 2(minimum value), and see if you make any improvement from there.

Feel free to upload a replay in this thread. Maybe even upload an hotlap on LFSW and check the hotlap analyser(http://www.lfsworld.net/rafa/) to see on which points of the track you are losing time on the fastest guys.

Quote from Welshie :

I have plenty of real racing experience but not much sim racing experience. The main issue I am having at the moment is while I like the standard FBM_Blackwood setup; 1: It EATS front tyres to the point after 3 laps I’m cruising around on full lock turning into corners, the Titanic would probably steer better

Does the set use R1(softer) or R2(harder) tyres? R1 can be quite tricky on tyre management. LFS' tyre model is a bit broken on some aspect, one of which is tyre heat. You can check tyre temperature with F9. If the core of the tyre turns lime green/yellow-ish, they're probably over-heating.

Quote from Welshie :

Do I need to get a steering wheel?

You don't -need- one in the sense that some driver can be pretty competitive and find enjoyment without. But the game is so much more fun(and probably easier) with a good, reliable wheel.


Hope this helps.

Quote from 5tag :

Does anyone have a decent Castrol skin (Celica GT Four WRC) and would care to attach it here? Preferably 2048px

Have one but it's 1024. Second attachement is a generic 2048 one if you're interested.

Quote from ChristijaNL :

TBH i allready had Rossi written off a few years ago

You're far from being alone, the big question a few years ago was how MotoGP could cope without Rossi. But then Dorna got a godsend with Marquez's arrival and Rossi's revival.

I'd say that bike racing is one of the purest and more entertaining form of motorsport right now. Just a shame that MotoGP had to go with a 3(+)-tier ruleset but there you go.

Race on the Tunnel track.

Great server. This is like Bump and Jump, with longer tracks and bigger ramps

Quote from nikopdr :

Sorry Yann, I failed a bit with my bumpdrafting with you. I could blame it on 3G internet, but also it wasn't really easy to keep up whilst my tire temps at the rear were nearing 85

It's allright. Laggy draft is better than no draft at all Maybe I should have let you in front, I don't know. Cool skin by the way.

Good race. Wish I fought for the win or at least top 3, but pace/strategy/restarts were all a little off. 4th in the end. Disappointing, but hey, 10 places better than last year.

Thanks again to deko and NDR for the event. Attendance was lower than before, but still somewhat better than expected a couple days ago, and enough to make an interesting race.

See you in 2016?

Would be cool to do a race on the public roads of Westhill.

HERE you will find the full results

Anyone still has those full results somewhere? :P

Here they are. .zip file includes full race results.

This was a fun championship

Have you guys considered adding some open configuration tracks to the rotation?

For example, Aston Central(AS11) could be a good fit:

Kudos to Dave, takes commitement to stick around for so long. 5+ years is pretty big in simracing terms. Had some good racing there

Quote from Flame CZE :

Random rotation, because even with voting, most people are angry about the chosen track

Quote from ErnestoO :

Random definitely, there's many cool tracks that people don't choose cause they don't know them.

Agreed on both points. Makes a change from what we have in cargame too. Why not try something different.

Excellent WSBK debut for van der Mark at Philip Island. P5 in race 1, led some laps in race 2 before crashing from P4.

Well, you can always make driver swaps optional. Just in case one or two poor souls want to go solo.

Quote from gooney :

Have I missed something?
Is it that hard?

Lack of demand, I would assume.

Quote from mike1158 :

Apart from which I cannot myself, accept the logic of adapting a race simulation for 'cruise' control.

Don't really see the interest of cruising around myself, however driving ten-tenths in real life-like traffic can be lots of fun, and pretty challenging too. Think of it as a standard point-to-point race, with the the added element of traffic as unpredictable mobile chicanes, requiring both anticipation and improvisation.

I remember having good fun with this kind of stuff on Midtown Madness 2 and NFS(the first one, on PSx, which was actually very decent for its era), good times.

Clay Regazzoni, F2 at Monaco. Ducked in time, walked away unhurt.

Bored.

(7 year-old laptop, default textures, low-end graphic settings, nothing fancy)

Thanks for your work toward the community Dom and GenR.

And Kudos to Dom for such a fine OP. Takes a big man to leave with such dignity.

Quote from troy :

Thanks for all the blood, sweat and tears you guys put in over the years!

This.

Sad moment, but the writing had been on the wall for a little while now. Actually I'm quite surprised that deko and co somehow found the strength and motivation to keep going for so long, while everything else was crumbling around them.

Quote from dekojester :

We will still organize one-off events at our discretion

I think those could still work pretty well actually. All NDR one-off events I can recall have been huge success(unless you count KY250/500 as one-offs, some of them were quite messy of course). And even if some do go wrong for whatever reason, well, the commitements for everyone involved are a lot smaller.

Quote from cargame.nl :

even let objects appear on the fly or on different spots dúring a race.

Interesting idea, actually.

Maybe you could even have objects spawning several meters in the air and landing on the track(like a stack or tyre, or a bale, or anything)? I think there used to be a tool allowing you to adjust the altitude while creating an object, not 100% sure though.
