This is a nice and easy to understand summary about OpenID and
also about the concerns (that I also have with it).
Worth the reading.

Hi Flo, thanks for the info... do you know who ran that?

For people to use LFS to present their hardware, we do give permission but we always give a condition that the LFS logo and website address are clearly displayed.

From that picture it looks like these people are just using LFS for their own benefit, and not giving us any exposure at all.

It is a company called FESTO (www.festo.com)

The simulator is called Airmotion_ride
http://www.festo.com/INetDomin ... 6acf3c12572b900703b19.htm


See it in action
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvG5rxVeY5M

In their (linkt to->) PDF

"Airmotion_ride incorporate flight, helicopter, car racing and roller coaster simulations.
The car racing simulator is breaking new ground above all
in multi-player applications. Thanks to the excellent network
code, bumper-to-bumper duels can be staged either on the
Internet or in a local network of up to 23 players, who can drive
a wide assortment of cars all based on genuine vehicles."

They have photos of LFS in it but don't even mention it somewhere.
Sounds more like they build it.

Edit:
Airmotion_ride is now a product of:
VR PROJECT - Event-Management
Edelweiß Straße 8a
85591 Vaterstetten
www.vrproject.de (German)
They call it now
http://www.x6-simulator.com/index2.htm (English)
http://www.x6-simulator.com/en/x6_race.htm (lots of LFS Pics but no a single link to LFS.net)
and they use the BMW video as their "X6 Promotion Video"

It's simple:

Tell them you agreed to the "End-user license agreement" on the LFS Website when you bought it

Quote :

3.4You must not give your username, WEB or GAME password to other LFS users.

So you are not allowed to give it away.

Quote from Jakg :

I didn't mean that - although I don't properly understand it I was wondering if there were any security issues?:

There are a lot security issues
next to phishing

Imo the big names (MS,AOL, Yahoo, Google etc.) are just joining OpenID for one reason. It opens the door to better data-mining.
MS failed with it's own Single Sign-on system "Passport Network", Why? Because many don't trust MS.
But now they found another way to sooner or later get what they want: Better user profiles.


I really have my doubts about single sign-on systems.
The idea behind it is ok but in reality the big companies
don't jump on the bandwagon beause they are philanthropists
and want to make the users life easier.

Like in the X-files: "Trust No One"

Quote from wien :

Can you fit turbochargers on petunias?

No, but in a Binford lawnmower

If it's permanent on 60° under full load then it's def. to hot.

Did you used Thermal compound?
If yes the maybe it's attached too thick?

I often see things like that when getting PCs to fix
or that the thermal compound is almost gone
or like "bubble gum" (dunno how to say that)
because of to much heat.

call a chimney-sweeper and let him clean the chimney

Great idea! in post #1

Quote from AndroidXP :

^ Registry is the worst "security" check ever.

Seriously, this subforum should be closed or at least made read only for a while. 50% of the suggestions are for all intents and purposes crap, 49.5% are repeats of already discussed-to-death suggestions, and the remaining 0.5% of good suggestions are ignored by the devs anyway, either because they're not noticed or because the dev priorities are different to begin with.

I don't know what the purpose of keeping up the illusion anybody cares about dorifto king #27's suggestion of adding new cars/tracks/bodykits/better smoke/a drift car/higher steering lock/etcpp. is? Also having users make valid requests only to get shot down or ignored because it's the 13th time the topic has came up isn't that great either. So what is the purpose of this subforum? A common waste bin to prevent the other forums being flooded with crap/duplicate suggestions?

I completly agree with everything you said.
And I have exactly the same feelings.

This thread should have been locked by the mods
at least after post #8

How about automatic penalties.. say a drive through or something if when you exit the pits you cross the yellow line of the pit lane exit channel?

Quote from Clownpaint :

It's his first MoE race, so no need to be patronising...

I don't care if it is his first race.
Where do you have a Team Manager for.

AFAIK it's a rule you know but I did not even protested against it.

I just said/wrote that it was difficult (hard to see) what car it is
and that makes it not easier for the GT2 cars (which always have a hard time when beeing passed) to give room right in time for GT1 cars etc.

Not really a protest but Team 11 My3id Gaming
should really know after half a year
what the colours of the GT1 cars are.


Was hard to see at around 2H:30min of the race if it is a GT1 or GT2 car (and should I give room etc. ) when #11 T.Scheler passed me with a plain white number and name.

At least he changed it in the next stint.

Congratulations!
Another nice development

Quote from AppiePils :

Constructive feedback, yes please, whining: please go to your mommy.

Ok then here it comes:

Please read the posts from the drivers/team managers more properly or is it a new game "BBO doesn't exist" or what?
You are quoting 3j with things he never wrote. (in Post#16)

I wrote that in post #5

Quote from BBO@BSR :

I hope the tracker will be ready in time for this race and someone is there to admin it, so the race can start at the right time and not hours later.

check Post #5

3j and BBO are 2 different persons !!!
(can be easily seen because we have different avatars)

Quote from AppiePils :

@3J The fact that you have arranged it in time, proofs that there was time enough

Well the next wrong thing.
3j arranged or has proven nothing as he is not managing our team this time and the last race.
I (BBO) wrote in post #15

Quote from BBO@BSR :

But finally we cleared that and we will have a new skin right in time.

So please if you quote or react on something then on the right persons.

----

Quote from AppiePils :

We've made some internal changes which should lead to a timely start and timely prepared tracker.

That's great.

We also have a new MoE Logo
That's great.

Could the (every) announcements usually a bit earlier?
Yes, but it looks like you are also working on that.
That's great.

Maybe a bit off topic here but anyway:

My wishes for the next Season:
- The MoE logos are ready before the league starts.
As the tracks and times are the same it should be no problem to produce logos for every race just before the next seasons starts.
As there is half a year of time.

- Brings me to the point when I ask myself if it is really necessary to create for every race a new logo? And to upload every time new skins and to have then problems when entering a race while you have to download 31 new skins and lots of helmets.
(We run in trouble last race for the 2nd time this season as there wasn't the start-replay of the race available to download and get a lot of skins before entering the server - In the end our driver was entering the server to late because of the downloads)

- Things that happend in this season when Teams get penalties for a rule that was invented after the race finished (engine damage/shift-p/points deduction) is something I would expect from the FIA but not from the MoE Admins.
Not that I don't like it like it is now or that we suffered something like that but penalising Teams for something that wasn't a rule before the race started is completly wrong imo.

Last but not least:

Quote from AppiePils :

As said before, we understand and agree that we need to improve in certain areas, but it requires some time, especially since the admin team has changed during the season.

That's the point why I (BBO) and 3j (which are 2 different persons ) and others are spending their time to write something in here.
We also try to help you Admins to improve in certain areas.
Maybe it's not always the best choice of words (well but seeing some things you Admins wrote in here then the feeling is mutual).

You have to live with the fact that when you Admin a league that not everyone is happy about everything you do/announce/think it's well-conceited etc.

Some of us have driven in a lot of leagues and expect maybe sometimes a bit to much especially from the "new MoE Admin team"

So try to get over it that not everyone likes everything you do but also remember that it is in 99% of the cases not a personal attack . It's usually more against the whole situation not against someone specific.

So these "you are all just whining" stuff etc. is something I expect from people who are 13 to 15 and not from you Admins.
Else it will be sooner or later that no one says anything anymore because they are afraid of getting called "whinerz".

I bet that's also not what you want as imo a league is also always living from the feedback of the Teams and drivers and of course from the organisational part.

But here it's more and more like: "to weigh one's words"
instead of taking critics (perfectly worded or not) for what they are good for.
To make things just a bit better for everyone.

Quote from PaulC2K :

u guys, April first was a few days ago, your all too late

And as roob said, if you need the logos going on, let me know, same applies to anyone else, wont be easy without the source file to remove the previous logos but im sure i could get it near perfect.

Thx for your offer Paul (and Rooble).

It's not like me/we are unable (or to stupid ) to put some simple logos on a skin.
Our Skinner has the sources, doing high res skins for us, is uploading the skins etc. , and we also want to have it look perfect.
Like you said it's not easy without having the sources available to make it look perfect.

But finally we cleared that and we will have a new skin right in time.

Quote from PaulC2K :

I think its rather bizarre that teams will get a DT for something introduced 2 days before the final event, yet in previous rounds ive seen a couple of teams running without the MoE visor, and one without a number on. Missing those items i can understand them being punishable, but lacking the use of both logos is punishable with such short notice... there should be some continuety/consistancy, not 6 months of not giving a hoot then coming down hard in the last round 2 days before the race, it'd be a crappy way to end the season if teams got penalties under those circumstances.
Also, it wouldnt harm to actually mention this rule in this thread, rather than assume people will read the latest bit of news, especially when you plan on penalising people for not reading that news. Its very late news, apparently its important people know (seeing as you plan to DT folk who dont) so wouldnt it make sense just to make sure as many people do actually know this to avoid having to give out DTs, as the aim is surely to get everyone using the new logos, not finding stealthy ways to punish people.

I completly agree with Paul.

btw
Our skinner is not around for the race and not even online due to problems with his line.
But we will somehow manage it to put the logos on the car, like we are forced to, to not get the DT.

I wished you admins would spent more time in the preparation of the race itself, instead of spending time on such things.
I hope the tracker will be ready in time for this race and someone is there to admin it, so the race can start at the right time and not hours later.

Just my 2 cents

Congrats guys!
I like the new racing-red colour

Quote from sgt.flippy :

Maybe try these guys:

... http://www.europol.europa.eu/

Yes Europol is a good idea:

from their website:
...Europol include crimes against persons, financial crime and cybercrime. This applies where an organised criminal structure is involved and two or more Member States are affected...."

Well at least they should speak english

Hey Kev why don't you just call your local Police station first?

I bet they know (well they should) what to do (instead of trying to e-mail or phone some German cops who probably not even speak English).

Your police should know whats the best way to report an international /europe wide crime and send it further to the German police station that is responsible etc. etc.

The estimated value of triple7racing.net is: $5,830


dnscoop.com
uses (like most other sites of that kind)
totally random and useles stuff to generate
complete unrealistical values.

It's funny, nothng more

Quote from Locovich :

jaja.... at least i was not the only one that get confused about the time... I entered the qualy 30 min late (i was expecting to enter 30 min early :tilt
So... can you please update the race time in UTC?

Sometimes it doesn't hurt to watch the forum
as the "right time" was early enough posted imo
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=753983#post753983

or the website:
http://www.mastersofendurance.eu/
It shows also the correct times

Happy Birthday guys!
