This will harm you, I am sure.
What kind of human are the devs, that they demand such a time-consuming and complex task from their customers?

And this mischief cries for a useless forum post...

To be honest, I bet it took you more time to post this than me to unlock the game once more

Edit: Now I added another useless post, as Scawen was quicker. Got to improve my english to cut down the time I am using looking up in the dictionary

This thread is insane
So now to something completly different, or else I will become insane too.

I will notice when the patch is released. Everyone here will shout out with joy and this won't be overheard on this planet!
OMG, 2000 posts in this thread... :faint:
Hotlaps for KY national rev LX4

The hotlap chart for KY national rev LX4 is linked with a WR and benchmark of 0:00.000. You can see this by displaying the hotlaps of the fastes racer (Righteous), who is not listed in the WR holders list.

Quote from Tweaker :Wholy crap that'd make a great endurance track!!!!

Would love to see that configuration to be honest.

I would really like to see this combination. This would get rid of the two parts of Long Huru-aito mentioned and that I don't like either. And such an extra long combination is missing in S2.

Quote from Chaos :There are per car ranks also... Just click on the desired car and you can see the chart

But these are only forward driven laps and not even all combinations of tracks. For example the AS 1 combo is missing from that rank.

Quote from The Devil Is A Squirrel :It happen's every time immediately after clicking on lfs.exe...

I can imagine that it will try until it got a working connection. You could do this: http://groups.google.de/group/ ... mp;hl=de#613ae4d1dae26226

But I don't think that this would be a good idea, revoked certificates are a serious security flaw if a client does not know about the revokation.

As you can see on the search results it would be DX9 checking for revoked certificates.

Well done.

One thing should be changed: The pagenumber does not belong on the title page.

Perhaps the setup has asymetric camber settings and/or the tyre pressure is asymetric?
If not, there is no reason to use the "forward" setup on the reverse track. But some turns, when driven reverse may require some setup adjustments.

Quote from tehkahless :ok .. i've now found an explanation .. after hours of trying to find the problem somewhere completely different .. i came back to the basics .. IE/opera just don't get the XHTML syntax right .. maybe it only supports XHTML with the XHTML DOCTYPE .. but anyway
the right code is <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://goim.sphene.net/lfs/listRacersJS?racer=tehkahless&racer=iceberg&racer=wierwolf"></script>

note the added </script> tag

Hm, valid XHTML would read as <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://goim.sphene.net/lfs/listRacersJS?racer=tehkahless&racer=iceberg&racer=wierwolf" />

Note the slash before the greater than sign closing the tag. Perhaps it is picky about that? (Would really be something, thinking about the way IE ignores each and every standard)

Edit: And the ampersands would have to be escaped by & too...

Quote from ColeusRattus :IIRC it is part of the penalty that you are not allowed to repeir or refuel. Or else you could just adjust the pit strategy accordingly and no harm would be done.

This is true, but it would be better letting him do his normal pitstop. He would have to complete his penalty after that lap. It is really a security issue to force a damaged car around the track once more.

So normal pitstops should be doable, even if a penalty is pending.

Quote from Gunn :The ability to recover from a slide is partly dependant on the car setup. Although the greater turning range of the DFP does mean a greater distance (therefore time) to counter-steer effectively, you can set the car up to respond quite quickly to your counter-steering action and thus improve that aspect of your car's behaviour.

I have switched to the DFP from my old Thrustmaster GT FF three days ago, and I must say that it took some time to get used to the greater turning range of the DFP. I am still not that fast that I used to be with the old wheel, but this is a normal learning process.

More turning range actually feels more natural while driving the car. Small corrections are more precise with the DFP while I didn't get the feeling for counter steering yet. Partly this may have to do with the pedals of the DFP, as the Thrustmaster pedals felt way better in the resistance and the pedal travel.

I always try to get fast setups (thanks for all guys out there sharing their sets) and many fast racers use the DFP, so I think that counter steering problem is really a matter of getting used to the greater turning range.

Quote from Bob Smith :No demo? How am I supposed to know if I want to buy it? Silly...

Damn, reading this a bit earlier would have saved me a useless download. I am to used to the way lfs handles this...

And the game needs you to be logged in as Administrator? Why? The error message it is displaying is not helpful either, it is an empty string. A long way to go for them.

Quote from Victor :the trick with that host-file won't cure the problem people are having to connect to the master. That file holds the IPs of hostnames, but LFS doesn't have to lookup the IP for the master. It already connects straight to the IP.

If it is done that way then it is definetly no dns problem.

Quote from CAPTeN :Apparently, somebody called cegetel and they told him that they don't want to make something because they say cegetel are selling internet connections only for viewing web page but not gaming

Funny statement. Are they selling internet (i.e. full tcp/ip) or are they selling viewing webpages? You should really search for a real isp... they don't want you as a customer and they certainly don't want your money.

Quote from CAPTeN : edit: Finaly, it must be a DNS problem due to the fusion of the 2 ISPs

So puting the IP-addresses of the servers that are not resolveable into the hosts file (%WINNT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) should make it work again. Or setting another dns server for the connection. But I have no doubt that other servers could be blocked by this "isp"...

Quote from FunkedUp :Below this there are three sections which change color. These don't change size like the Wiki says. Do these indicate tire wear or what? What colors correspond to what degree of wear (or whatever the heck is being measured)?

They do change size. You have to drive the tyres a little bit longer
They indicate tyre wear, as you already guessed. But I think your tests did not last long enough.

Just a wild guess: You don't have other programs running at the moment you play LFS? For example the firefox browser with some neat plugins? Or an opened LFSWorld page?

I have a weather forecast plugin installed and every now and then when the plugin fetches the new weather data or the LFSWorld page reloads I see LFS stutter. Not as much as you describe here, but it is very noticable. So I shut down each program I can get a hold of and this usually makes the game run more smooth.
