DoEvents forces to process pending events, and may help - could be that the loop updating pace is too fast for the rest of your program to keep up and it looks like it freezes.

IIRC there was a timer component in VB6, I'd suggest to use that instead of a loop. Do whatever you're doing in your loop inside the Tick event of the timer.

Could you post your code? Been a few years since I last used Vb6 but I might be able to help

Site: Team Inferno because they provide a great service to this community. Many people, including me many times, use the setups posted there as start.

Team: XFR because apart of being such a great bunch of guys, the Online Racing School was an awesome boost for so many people, not only noobs.

League: OLFSL and LFS GT, both are awesome. OLFSL more fun and relaxed, LFS GT more serious, but I enjoy a lot both. DTM is very nice too.

Application: The only one I use regularly is spectator to follow my mates in team events, so my vote goes for it.

Why would you want to see the flags over the cars?? Its already more than enough if Scawen decides to put it in the drivers list, though there are a million more important things to do.

+1 on pace car at the end of the grid on pace lap.

As for the pace lap itself, I think the safest way is single line, as Cawwa suggested, but not right behind the car in front so you can avoid pile ups on heavy brakings, like the one that caused the ZWR car to run into my back when the field braked to do the chicane in pace lap - no harm done, but avoidable.

The nose of your car should be BEHIND the butt of the car in front at all times.

Then when reaching s/f line, pit limiters on until there is a big green server message saying "GREEN", overtaking before start line would be forbidden.

Simple rules, but following that has been working for years in other sim leagues with rolling starts.

I enjoy almost everything with wheels and an engine, though my tolerance to ovals is limited to the first couple of thousand laps

When Im at the local track I specially enjoy single car cups, those are usually the most fun to watch.

Excessive and worthless information. What if it was car A who misbraked, hit B and B hit you? You would log that it was B's fault.

Besides, you have replays, which before judgement day will be rewindable, hopefully

Quote from Madman_CZ :
There was a game where you would drive around a city GTA style, it had pedestrians, other cars, traffic lights and so on.. cant exactly remember what i had to do but i remember there was pink cars which you would have to chase... I was about 7-8 when i first set my eyes on this car game.... ok so it wasnt a racing game but it still had cars in it and you could go fast.. maybe some one here will remember the name of it. Outrun was another game that I have played....

LOTUS TURBO ESPRIT I also played that a lot. Ohhh brings back memories.

Outrun was very cool too, so was Spy Hunter

EDIT: Could find only this

Holy crap...20 years ago. Makes me feel old

There was a HUGE accident in the last hour of the race, in the s/f straight, that scared the f*** out of me, two cars flying and bouncing on both sides of the road. Looked like a warp hit, I'd like to know what really happened.

EDIT: Other than that, smooth race and very fun. These series are great!

I'll never understand how people can even spend 300€ in any console, when I am at my friends place, I play for 10 minutes and I get utterly bored, no matter what game.

Guess Im strange.

OLFSL is the best to start, no doubt about that, and IIRC, they plan to start a new season around X-Mas.

Oh, and welcome to S2

Quote from bendem :Yo no hablo ingles. Solo lo leo. Y si lo escribo, lo escribo fatal...


LOL

I started learning english at 6, but until I was 14 and started listening music in english, I wasnt really interested in understanding it. It was The Pixies and Ramones who really got me interested, just to see what the hell they were singing about. It wasnt my teachers who taught me english, it was Frank Black, Eddie Vedder, Maynard James Keenan and Robert Plant...among many many others.

Then at university I signed up for the Erasmus program (studying abroad) and spent 10 months in Dublin.

Now at work I use english every day, researching, reading, googling...but I hardly speak it, only with my racing mates through TS, and they can tell you how dreadful my accent is...LOL

Yep I know but thats more for reporting bad language, racism etc.

You shouldnt be clicking that because slower222 and dOriFTER232 use the forum as chatbox...

Though I do not like the idea of removing post count, I agree that some of this forum members behaviour is annoying.

I seen a 'report bad post' link in many forums, we should have something like 'report spammer' link in each post. Once they go beyond a reasonable limit, their posting gets limited for some time.

Quote from Becky Rose :
Voice recognition in English isnt terribly hard, but it falls over with accents. I remember once speaking to a customer who was trying to get voice recognition working and he was really angry with it. I actually had trouble understanding him too - but just how do you tell a man with a thick Scottish accent that he needs to lay off the whiskey and stop slurring an already incomprehensible accent?

I remember when I was studying at Dublin Institute of Technology some years back and me and my friends made a trip to Northern Ireland. Would you think we were able to understand anything? It was like they werent talking the same english we had ZERO problems with up to that point lol.

Back on topic, I like the crew help idea, since I am pretty useless at making really good setups, for now.

Is it possible to switch cars between race days? I raced yesterday in the FXR but I'd like to check how slow I can be in the FZR/XRR. Checked rules but found nothing regarding this.

EDIT: Obviously, using the same number and with correct plates, etc.
