Yep I was 2nd!
(But I got the fastest lap so I'm still happy!)The link is right but the server seems to be down ATM. It's not mine though so we'll just have to wait.
Right now we're in the middle of a Race To Win tournament with Road Going setups! Quality stuff! You're all missing out! (Cheers!)

Well, the LX4 does have a much lower top speed than the TBO. It's in the cornering and acceleration it has i's advantages.
But still, 5% might be a tad too much. I'll think about it. Let me know if you come up with something clever.
Edit: Perhaps the the weight penalty suggested by EliteAti would be a better idea. Will have to do some more pondering and testing!
Edit 2: Yeah, thinking about it, I think a weight penalty for the LX4 would be better since we don't want to make it even slower down the straights. This is based on the assumption that an intake restriction has a harder impact on the top speed than a weight penalty does.

That might be a good idea!
3% appears to be the norm for FXO but I have no idea about the LX4. 5%?
Well, to be honest we're not exactly sure when the team was formed. I've found screen shots with FLP content dating back to April 2006 ... But the team's existence was officially announced on the third of June, 2006.
However, Jens released the 3-year anniversary movie already in March, thinking that our birthday was in April. That's probably why it might appear as if our birthday was some time ago.
Thanks for all the kudos, by the way! We're overwhelmed, really!

Fred Loves Pie Racing (FLP/r) is looking to expand!
On this day, three years ago Fred Loves Pie Racing (FLP/r) was born. Since then we've managed to bring home nomerous trophies in leagues such as OLFSL, LXCC, Triple Double Cup, Torsdagsrace and several others. This is something that we are very proud of considering that FLP/r has always had a very small line-up with only 7 drivers or less.
From here on in, we are looking to partake in bigger leagues such as IGTC, ITCC or even MoE - Basically any league that requires a team effort, either by enforcing driver swaps or simply by the fact that the races are endurances.
For that reason, we are now looking to expand our line up with roughly 5 additional drivers.
To allow us to meet potential members we are organizing a fun-event that is planned to take place on June 9th. So, if you are interested in joining the team, please take part in that event. You may read more about the event here.
It would also a be a good idea to register at our forum so you can start to get to know us!
If you'd like to know more about the team, have a look at our latest movie: 3 years of FLP/racing!
Our biography, list of drivers and trophy cabinet or website may also be of interest!

There are over 4000 threads in the improvement suggestions forum. It would obviously be impossible for Scawen to comment on even half of the ideas presented there.
Instead, he is keeping an eye on the forum. Most definitely.
Oh, please ...
Albeit the point being off topic I would like to point out that according to the forum rules, you are not allowed to re-sell LFS licences:
This statement is, however, from what I can gather, in conflict with the LFS end-user agreement (which has no mention of it) and this post by Scawen (in which he points out that it is not "banned", but frowned upon).
Perhaps a rewrite of the forum rules would be in place to avoid confusion.

I've done lots of testing with VMWare Server 2 for liveforspeed.se's servers.
We were running Windows 2003 as guest on a Linux host and experimented with both NAT and bridged configurations, even fitting the server with an extra network interface reserved for the guest. Obviously we tried different process priorities and so forth.
Still I was not able to get rid of tiny lag spike similar to the symptoms that you describe. Every 30 seconds or so the server would stop sending/receving packets for 1-2 seconds. This is obviously unbearable on a crowded league server so I eventually gave up and moved on.
One theory is that the cpu timings of the server and guest does not match. I did not bother to confirm this, however.
Our most popular servers are now running under Wine on a proper Linux host, which is proving to work a lot better.
Sorry I could not be of any more assistance.
Good luck!

With Jason's place being my destination on the Friday it appears as if my best options for travelling by plane are either Cardiff or Bristol. Does anyone have any suggestion on how I should continue my journey from there? By bus or train?
If someone who is travelling close to that area would like to cut their petrol costs I'd be willing to split the cost ...

Jason,
I would also like to stay at your place throughout the entire weekend if there's room for me. It'd be really nice to spend some quality time with you and the other guys plus it'd save me a lot of hassle (not having to book a hotel / bring a tent from sweden and what not).
I will look into a travel plan in the next (few) week(s).

I am going to make sure that I make it!

Naming and shaming your ISP is all very well and good, but what about the EU Parliame ... proposed Telecom Package? I'm shocked!

Yep! The release for patch Y is compatible with patch Z.

Sounds like tons of fun, Jason. I will definitely schedule my summer so I can make it to this meet.
Thank GOD for iCON racing! (xvid, ~4MiB)
Here's a replay of the first hour if anyone should be interested in having a look at the start or something.
The problem is most likely a router or firewall. Please read this guide thoroughly.
Spending a lot of time implementing different mods, advertising your server on other forums, and mucking about with Hamachi just to get the game running are probably a good indications that the software is worth purchasing ...
There's no "16:9 option" but there are resolutions that happen to be 16:19 such as 640x360, 1024x576, 1280x720 or 1600x900.
If you do not have any 16:9 resolutions available in LFS for some reason you could always use an application such as Sizer, create a preset, and then apply that preset on the LFS window.
