Seeing as there appears to have been a suddon increase of reports over a short period of time my guess is someone was spamming reports and it was disabled or has crashed? But i don't know for sure and haven't tried it myself recently.

While on the subject of reports ... how long do they usually take to get looked at as I submitted a couple of reports a while ago now and they are both still pending.

Cheers,
Marco

His first post, offering to help work on LFS related sites included no link to his web site or business services whatsoever. I think it's pretty sad how someone offering to help the community get's shot down like this.

Good decision on TBOs imo and the soon erthe GTRs are move onto another server the better not keep on the changing cars - bit annoying when you just got onto the server for a few TBO races and then it changes to cars that you don't want to drive at all.

It just crashed ... afraid it may have been crashed by myself filing a report. It said Report Filed and then on the next line X-System detected an error. Exiting or something along them lines

Hey Freddy ... Sounds like a good fun event. Can it literally be any combination of track/car completely random?

Mainly because I haven't had time to race "for fun" at the moment lol ... Busy preparing for a League race this weekend.

Other than that, almost everytime I have been on the server people tend to do a bit more than just "lean" or make "light contact". I also think the track rotation should be a little bit faster.

I guess it's mostly a case of being not sure when to report people on the BJ server. I should report more on all CTRA servers really but don't like to create extra work for you guys

Quote from Becky Rose :If there was a serious league that restricted practice by only announcing the track an hour or two beforehand then I would be very interested.

That though has crossed my mind as well, however even then you will get the lucky few drivers that already know the track extremely well and that makes it uneven again.

Funnily enough I was thinking about this today and figured the only way to do this properly is to have a "special track" that is only available online, and ideally only on 1 server, and the track has to be booked for sessions etc. Like a real race track basically. I think that would add a whole new level of realism to the game imo.

Yes and will do in the future: I really enjoy racing in Leagues/Competitions, however it does take up a lot of time if you want to be competetive.

I always set mine to what the car setting in-game is. I.e. 720 for STD/TBO, 540 for GTRs and so on. Obviously I set all steering settings to linear with no speed compensation etc (can't remember exactly what the settings are called) but the steering in the game seems to do exactly what I do on the steering wheel which is all I can ask for

I voted for 45mins, although it does really depend on the cars. To me it is important to bring tyre choice and pit stops into it when it comes to tournaments/leagues. Having a good endurance setup can make all the difference even if you are not the fastest.

In the SHAC we did 30min Sprint race and then 90min Main race which was pretty good although it didn't really leave much of a pit strategie with the GTR class as the FXR had to pit exactly half way through the race to be competetive with the tyre choice, so no margain for error there.

For public servers of course anything more than 10-20 minutes is a waste of time unless it's a good server.

So to sum this up from my point of view:
Long enough to allow for different tyre/pit stop strategies

Good work! Looks like 2008 is going to be impressive! Love some of the reels from Chrome productions. I am sure i spotted some top gear footage in there?!
XRT Setups for Westhill International (WE1)

Hi All

Does anyone have any good XRT Setups for WE1? I could do with both a Qualifying Setup and an Endurance Setup. I have modded some other setups to get down to 1:57:5x but could do with something I know can go faster around Westhill.
Thanks!

Is this still compatible? For some reason i can no longer connect to LFS (although it did work fine a few month ago)

  • Limit Driving aids, such as traction control etc.
  • Limit Controllers allowed. Wheel/keyboard/mouse only. 3 Peddles or H shifters only.
  • Enforced setups. Lock to default/standard/factory setup or lock out particular setup changes.
all +1 from me!

The ability to enforce setups or parts of setups would be a fantastic feature for many obvious reasons ^^

Yeah I've still got my old DFP and I had to just open and clean the pedals once, apart from that I started getting some play on wheel centre position, but that is after a few years of good usage.
