So once F1 does Friday practice at a track, the wind doesn't change at all from that point through the weekend?
Erm no, I highly doubt the wind didn't change at all, just look at the more open tracks like Silverstone, it can change direction over a day let alone a weekend...
Well, the V8 SC is hardly an MX-5, you can't just jump in and go, they are Class C which limits the amount that can drive them, plus they probably aren't as popular as the other stuff - Grand-am/Star Mazda etc. in terms of being recognised by an international audience.
However, check the results from this week and you'll see there are some races. There's 1 big race counting for the championship on the V8 website, plus you have races at 1845 GMT on weekend evenings, a race aimed at the Yanks at 0045 GMT on Friday morning, plus some other races on Aussie evenings at the weekends. No sense to have races early in the week, a few days of practice needed first for this beast
Plus, go to the dashboad and check the race planner on the right hand side - currently 15 are planning to do the 1845 race tonight very useful for planning ahead.
LFS (and Airio) uses hundreds of nodes on each track to determine where a driver is, and thus work out whether someone is going the wrong way or not. Since AS1X does not have a path or nodes to define the track, LFS cannot work out which way someone is going. Luckily EQ Worry is creating custom ones for Airio, so a lot of the problems (cutting, blue flags, wrong way, and hopefully yellow flags) should be solved in a new version of Airio.
Phil, do keep up son. A16 is the short Aston one, basically A12 minus AS1. A17 is Touring Car Short, A14 but without the AS7 hairpin, like you say. But if you want to go ahead and do A18 that's fine by me - it's not the best track but meh.
Incidentally, the OP has been updated with a newer zip file
We've had people saying he's been dead for years, but never had any hard evidence about it - neither have we seen any in this case (apart from Saint Barack's words) so I'll wait and see what they produce as evidence...
It's different to LFS' systems which use yellow flags. You get incident points which you collect in official sessions - 1x for off-track, 2x for loss of control, 4x for car contact - which are used to determine a corners per incident number over your last 2600 corners IIRC. Each licence level has a CPI number (rookie will be more lenient than Class A) and your SR will go up/down according to where you are in relation to that. As you can see, sure, your SR may go down a little bit (biggest drop I've had was about 0.30 or something for 20+ inc in a race) but if you keep driving safely you can gain back lost SR easily.
