If this is going to be a racing simulator it needs to follow what happens in the real world, to a certain extent of course. IMHO this goes with a pit lane speed limit and false starts.

Hi Sketchy, welcome to LFS, say goodbye to your social life
A league is basically like a virtual F1/GT/whatever series... the idea is that they have a certain amount of races with the same people. Because they've actually signed up for the season, the racing is better than it usually is on public servers, and points actually mean something.
That's why the forum race is like a league, but isn't, because you have good racing and roughly the same people each time, but you just sign up for individual races.
Please put me down for this, but... when is it? Has it already happened? Is it still going to happen? Where is it? What car do I need to bring?

By grab the old one and press m I mean press its little yellow box - that'll 'pick it up', then you can press m to move it somewhere else.
Yup. Place the start by using the 's' key. Of course you can only have one so if you want to move it you'll have to grab the old and press 'm'.
Interesting... it doesn't take a genius to see that's a rip off of/based on DR. Thanks, I will try it!
Well I thought I had 2% more than I needed. Maybe I got my pit stop a little wrong.
Was a good race until I got rammed from behind on lap ten, then spent twenty going around on my own 
Then I ran out of fuel a couple of laps from the finish. I put in 42%... obviously that wasn't enough!
Thanks for organising this

Ooh er, I slide around too! Well I guess I'll find out how other people do it tonight.
This should be great fun, I can't wait!
Please put me down - I should be able to make it.
LX4/6 or the FO8 would be good. Or maybe the Raceabout

Oh dear 
24 EUR = about 30 USD
but LFS uses GBP
24 GBP = about 47 USD
I am sorry to say I think you have made a boo-boo.

I had a thought last night. I don't think anyone's suggested it. The map is often covered up by chat text, so how about having a key that would raise the map to the top (ie. above chat messages) when it is held down? Exactly like ctrl + shift does for the frame rate/time and LFSW names. Then seeing it, say, when exiting the pits will be no problem at all, however much chat text there is.

I tried it with plain old Wine in Kubuntu Dapper a while ago, and I didn't notice any problems at all. I was surprised at how well it worked. I didn't try using my wheel though, but I suppose it wouldn't have had any force feedback if I had done.
...or foobar2000 which can do that while using much less CPU
+1 for that. Of course each vote already comes up (x voted to RESTART), so I imagine that it wouldn't be too hard. It's a small thing that could be really quite handy

Heh, guess what CD I've just found. It's a proper legal copy, I got it with some kind of 'subscribe and get this for £5' promotion a few years ago. But posting a link would break the forum rules...
"Create a "smx" folder inside your "lfs\data" folder and place the contents of this zip file in that folder."
If you are using WinZip, open the archive, press extract, and extract it to 'wherever lfs is\data\smx'. It should make the directory for you.

I suppose you will dual boot it, then at least you can go back to XP if you have any problems. I tried a Vista RC a while ago, and it was interesting to try it.
It looks lovely, as does the box art, but it doesn't mean it's any good. Don't we know that from somewhere?
How much does it cost?

I found the Redline server back in mid July. Before that I'd never really been online much. Between then and now I have raced on there a hell of a lot, for me at least. The team members are good racers, and racing there is always fun. Following the leaders helps improve my PBs too!
Yes, newbies can cause problems. But if you have a brain and are a good racer, and have just joined at the back of the grid, you know you might have to avoid them. It's simple - do that, get to the finish, and for the next race you'll start in front of them.
I was quite surprised when I saw the posts here because I have never been banned or had any problems. Funny that.
