I really like this tool

One thing I can`t find out is : How do one change the server name with Dedilink ? I want to change afri cola racing, to Den blaa avis.

I have seen a few - Can`t remember who made those films. But the one from nations cup, I liked very much.

Then there was the guy, wo made a car chase movie in SO city. A car is trying to escape a police car - Great movie

test to see if my avatar has changed

Quote from bbman :

The thing is: People desperately want to win... So, in a three lap race, starting from the back from the pack, you'll have to make up quite some places and where is the best chance to pass several people quickly? Right, at T1, where the field is close together...

This is exactly what's going on... I know this because there were funraces held by a league I drive in with quite short races and you could really see the mindset changing...

Increase the laps and watch the carnage fade away (the odd T1-crash by some inexperienced or overenthusiastic driver might still happen here and there)...

Wrong Buddy !

I would like to win, but not if another racer has to pay the price, and gets pushed out in the grass or sand. I join a server because I like to race - To get on the podium, if I race well, is kind of a secondary price

It`s not about winning, it`s racing

But the STCC servers invites to very hard racing, because of the built in point system So the rules MUST be hardened, to prevent those turn 1 "wreckers". For wreckers are what they are, and nothing else.

Count your fingers, before and after the fireworks

Only a blind fool, don`t use safetyglasses - Remember, this is the real world, and it`s dangerous

Happy, safe, new year everybody

Smoke mod ?

That`s the mod which make an uf1000 smoke more than an apollo rocket !?

Happy new year

Quote from jamesrowe :

Most of the time as said is due to inexperience! What really gets me is when a few drivers all start arguing about it illepall
Also I hate it when someone blames lag when they clearly were not lagging Meh...

One persons computer can lag locally. You migth not notice that, in the start Low Fps, is kind of lagging too, and will often happen during starts.

Quote from Glenn67 :

LOL Nothing drives me more nuts than that if I start towards the end of the pack and after T1 chaos find myself in a pretty good position to make a good go of the race, only to have all the T1 offenders successfully restart the race That happened repeatedly the other night on a server with XFG and XRG's. The XRG's were up the front and kept making serious mistakes taking each other out then restarting the race illepall

I just don't understand that mentality myself even if I get caught up in the chaos at T1 it doesn't phase me as I see it then as a challenge to make the best of a bad start and see how many places I can make back

Forget the Xrg`s - They have a special rigth to do what they want. Xfg`s have to wait, untill Xrg drivers, have made the turns. Xrg`s are allowed to drift Xfg`s off the track - Because they are hard to drive

I must warn for ironi, in this

Everybody, which hit a fellow racer, in a turn - Should get punished instantly. Ban for a couple of hours or so

The car behind, is responsible in not hitting the car in front of it. It`s as simple as that

And the "SUPER DE LUXE MAXIMAZISED WORLD CLASS" drivers (in their own mind), who fearlessly throws the car inside of you, thus you are driving the race line, and steps on the brake, because he/she is far from the raceline, and forces lots of cars behind him/she, also to step on the brakes

To many people, know nothing about gentlemanship, and before we start to really punish the "wreckers" - Absolutely nothing will happen
As Lfs is today, wreckers are rewarded - sad but true

Quote from Jakg :

you can vote for more than one car

Hey !

You can`t sum op, more than 100%
100 percent is all the selections

Sum up the percentages in the poll !?
I get a lot more than 100% - Even that doesn`t work

Quote from Tweaker :

1024 was never permitted simply because it just takes up too much memory for the kind of systems this game supports. I mean... this game is DirectX 8 engine, and many 4 to 5 year old computers can still run this game, but they'd need low res textures.

I know that many people should have newer systems by now, and a 1024 option would be really nice for the people that can make it possible without performance issues... but I do remember Victor saying that the bandwidth issue on LFSW is the problem. If the 1024 skins were uncompressed and allowed on LFSW, that would mean we would have 400 to 500 kb sized skins to download, and we all know what happens when people start downloading large chunks of files online when playing in servers.... LAG. If the 1024 skins were compressed in LFSW even, it wouldn't help, skins would still tend to be around 200kb average, and not only that, you could download three to four 1024 sized skins in that time... way more efficient by having skins of that size.

As said many times before, ask someone for their hires skin if it is so important. You go and race online, and hardly need to spend time focusing on high quality skins, the low quality size is fine, looks ok within visible range when driving beside them, and on track cameras. I don't see the big need for the high quality skins other than for screenshots or if you are REALLY anal about quality of people's skins.... when the majority of public skins are crap... and only personal. Absolutely inneficient to have the global feature of downloading 1024 skins, when if you are in a dire need, ask for the skin. If you cannot get the high quality skin, so what!

For how quick and easy the quick download feature is, it is rather painless and less problematic. I would only prefer seeing the 1024 option once a new graphics engine is made... as that would suit faster computers by then.

Sometimes, a couple of years ago, somebody made a programme which could download all the skins available, to your skin folder.

Then one wouldn`t have the problem online

Maby an auto update, before connecting to a server, would solve the problems !?

Quote from Vilante 11 :

I would be very concerned that changing the system to a sample based system would ruin the great feel you get from the system as it is now!

I'd rather have mediocre sounds that communicate what the car is doing than brilliant sounds that don't help your driving any day!!

Quote from duke_toaster :

+1 for time scaled repairs.

But also we need time scaled setup changes - like Colin McRae Rally 2.

Yeahhh - And the possibilty to pit, and change setup, during the longer races

Quote from Batterypark :

Props for spelling "repair" in three different ways

As for the idea... do you mean this repair mode would start immediately after the collision? Or do you mean that repairing the damage when pitting should take longer? If you mean the latter, +1

Sorry - My thougts often are a mile in front of my typing. Those th words are hard to manage, for a non native english speaker

I also usually corrcts my spelling, but did not see them, this time. I can`t correct the headline, but nobody is perfect

Quote from Davo :

Missing out on the next race if your car is badly damaged would be neat, however it would cause a lot of grief from people that didn't cause the damage. I'd be abolsutel fuming if I had to sit out a race for someone elses mistake. Add lag to the mix and you can get a super lag crash that damages everything and it becomes even worse. Good idea but not really feasible in online play.

If it was scalable !
Then the different servers could decide how long the repair should last

I have searched for "damage" and "repair" and found nothing in this thread about that subject.

If a racer smashes his car, then a repairmode should start. If the car is heavily damaged, maby it would last a couple of hours to fix it

Then people had to take care in the turns, especially T1. Offcourse innocent drivers would get caught too, but the guy who did this, would be noticed.

Like the IRL races, it have to cost people, more than one race - But the feature should be flexible, so one could choose to use it, or not

I think it`s important, that it can "cost" you, if one is not careful in the turns.

The content stinks mate

But i really like the camera angles and ideas, in this movie. maby there are to much of them. (The ideas)

10 for the creativity - 2 for content

I would really like to see you do a movie, with action involved

Quote from imthebestracerthereis :

by any chance you want to show us the replay

If you mean me - Then the replay is in this thread

I own a G25, but I don`t use the h-shifter yet

I have tried it, and it slowed me down, very much indeed
I migth use it later on

I saw somebody suggest an equalizer, so everyone could adjust the sound the way the feel.

I think this is a good idea.

Maby there could be a little more to this "sound editor" than an EQ, so one could adjust the ecco, and so on

I know I allready can do that, by "tuning" my soundcard, but then you have to shot it off, if you want to listen to music

And I Didn`t know, that the sound was "without helmet" - I read it here, som place, and believed it So if the sound is no helmet, i miss some treble in the sound

Quote from GianniC :

Don't want to spoil the Xmas fun or the release of Patch V, which is very good work (all those fixes!) but as I said: don't remove the sound from the checklist: it is one of the main elements which makes a sim realistic, and we need (more) improvement on that in LFS.

How many people, know the sounds the racers really hears, wearing a helmet, inside a racecar !?

I know how it sounds from the outside, when cars is passing the crowd.
Do you know how it should sound, inside a racecar Gianni C ??

Quote from Blowtus :

I disagree. Decent engine sounds alone add massively to the immersion - I'd suggest they're about 80% of the sound that's important. CSR adds so much to my playing experience, still.

If sound is 80% - Then do this little test.

Blindfold yourself, and take the car around So Classic, for three laps

Then you come back, and telle us the new percentage

I`d better go download it first

Quote from N I K I :

It would be great to have flag next to name on window. I know name is posible only on Single seat cars, but I would like to see that option and on normal cars. Hit us flag next to name on window like in real world.

Precisely - Flags next to our names
Would be great !
