looks great! Feel free if you want to show more

To be fair, I was just replying to Eclipsed post.

I'll think about maybe posting some new Kyoto screenshots sometime soon.

Sorry for the delays.

Quote from johneysvk :

am i correct in counting 34 grid slots? would've thought it'd be 32 or 40

34 slots, yes.

Is 32 or 40 the common number of grid positions?

Short pitlane, unfortunately. It's similar to Suzuka's West Circuit.

I've already added this config!

I contacted to TFalke about this a couple of years ago because I wanted to give credit to the original layout creator.

Very entertaining race, btw.

Brilliant work, Flame, thanks for doing this.

Nice details in the cockpit instruments and it handles nicely as well.

Hopefully we'll see this cool mod in action on one of the RTFR events in the hands of the experts.

Excellent Mod, excellent broadcast and brilliant close racing!
I had to watch a second time with the mpr in VR and the commentary in the background.

Thanks for the bug find!

You'll see the fix in the next Westhill update.

Quote from adirany :

I am not really interested about updates.

It is the strange manner we are treated with.

I think the majority of us are very polite in our posts.

So don't be afraid to speak about LFS.

This forum is here for that.

SPEAKING ABOUT LFS IS ONE WAY TO KEEP IT ALIVE.

It looks like you're not here to have any kind of reasoned discussion about the "state of LFS".

First you suggest that "releasing updates one by one is the right thing to do". When Eclipsed points out that that's what we're trying to do, you then move the goal posts and say you're NOT actually interested in updates anymore and that it's now all about the way you FEEL how you're being treated.

Looks like you have a problem with being honest. No one here with any integrity is interested in having a discussion with a dishonest person. You are not here in good faith. You are here to troll for attention.

Take some time out for wasting our time.

OK, 2 more configs should be easy enough to add.

It can't be done as a patch for the current version, though. Sorry about that.

I like Radicals so I'm looking forward to this.

I was planning to base a race version of the LX6 on the Radical back in the day.

Quote from Eclipsed :

Wow,didn't expect such chat here as usually the event activity ends with results,but nice to see some feedback and discussions to make the thread more alive.


I hope seeing racing like this will inspire you when building tracks - Westhill's support roads have turned out great for racing as it's something else than just plain sterile courses. Maybe in future some track could receive a bit wider support/access roads and better transition between those and main track for something like LeMans style track. Just throwing out ideas.
.

Actually I've been watching the Youtube replays on a regular basis for the last 10 months or so and trying to catch up on some past events, too. Yes, it's very inspiring. Listening to expert commentary with real knowledge about the cars, tracks and drivers and seeing how well the races are organized and presented makes me wish I could provide you guys with better material to work with much sooner. Trust me I'm pushing to get these track updates ready for testing! Sorry for the wait.

I agree, access roads for the tracks are the way to go and they should have been thought about during the original design period. Also I have been paying attention to the track modifications used for these events and I've made some changes to the updated tracks based on that. No doubt I'll need some feedback on these changes during the testing stage.

Not trying to derail the thread, but it is kind of related.

Quote from Viperakecske :

Yea i understand what u meant

He mentioned it was track limits,i replied whit "eric says no"

Your right, sorry about that!

I'll go get my morning coffee and get back to work.

Quote from three_jump :

I totally agree, and it's nearly impossible to enforce all the time anyway (hello F1). Not sure that your solutions (FE Green Chicane ) are safe either, even though they enforce track limits rather hard

Yes those chicanes were created back in the day when I used rock hard tyres on the apexes! I'm trying to think of solutions a bit less barbaric these days

Quote from Viperakecske :

Eric says no,so its a no

But here is your video

https://streamable.com/3nks0s

Actually I meant no, the track limits WASN'T violated.

Quote from three_jump :

Not having raced due to other commitments (and neither will next week ), but I'd say it's a track limits violation/cutting for simply driving through track objects (pole). If it's over the white line, dunno - that needs a video/mpr.

But it seemed fun

If this was an FIA event with 100,000 Euros worth of prize money, then track limits should be strict. But those types of limits would ruin what looked like a fun event, I think.

Quote from Viperakecske :

So,did i?

Well, for the track limit standards consistent in this race series, NO, in my opinion.

That was a very entertaining race!
I didn't catch the live stream but I watched the Youtube replay. Then I HAD to download the LFS replay to see if Gabor violated the track limits with that last lap dive!

Impressive and very professional work!

I'm loving the high standards you've acheived so far. Good luck with the texturing.

OK, Ive updated the original post and removed the car manufacturers logos.

They are legal for the track adverts but not for modded cars content.

Sorry about that.

I think it will be OK to use the updated logos.

I can't imagine these companies wouldn't want their latest logos to be seen ingame.

That's a good point.

I think we'd better not, because although we have the use of the logo, we don't have the LEGAL use of the familiar looking intelectual property of the car design to go along with that logo, if that makes sense.

Best not to go down that rabbit hole.

Here is a list of Logos that we have legal permission to use in LFS, so far.

i3D.net
Castrol
Petronas
Bridgestone
Potenza
Michelin
OZ Racing
Sim Broadcasts
NDR New Dimension Racing
Credit Suisse
ATL Racing Fuel Cells
Avon Tyres
Dell


I'll Update this list when recieve permission to use other logos.

OK, Thanks!

That's fixed in my version.

Thanks for finding that.

I'm having a hard time trying to pinpoint that bug in my version.

Could you please place a marker like you did before, but this time take a screen shot zoomed out so that it shows the surrounding track area, please? Thanks!
