Yeah, I'll just go ahead and steal your thread:

Frankly, I'd like to see all cars start in the pits at the start of a race session. Though I'm not suggesting everyone would have to do an out lap. No, a "go to grid" button would do absolutely fine. This would minimize the risk of having an AFK driver on the grid (which happens quite often in pick-up races and every now and then in league racing as well).

To incorporate your idea into this, all Scawen would have to do is to remove the "go to grid"-button for those who haven't qualified.

Looks like there were just below 500 racers online at peak hours during patch X. When patch Y was released there was an increase, obviously. Now we're back to to "normal", or perhaps a bit above.

Thank you for the confirmed date. I'm still interested but definitely not ready to confirm my attendance yet. I am not particularly interested in the biking of quads.

I too has reacted on your way of giving critique, squid. The least you could do is to turn down the level of sarcasm in your replies.

Edit: After all, this isn't X-factor and the people posting videos here are not trying to become super stars.

F1 cars are started by an external starter motor. I guess the reason they are not fitted on the car is to reduce weight.

Should this happen again a quick fix would be to block that particular content from within the browser. Opera, for example has a built-in 'block content' feature while Firefox has the 'Adblocker' plugin (if I'm not mistaken).

OR you could simply deactive signatures alltogether!

Such a string seems to be missing within LFS. Perhaps a message to let the spectated racer know what happened to him would be in place.

Quote from Jouman :

Hi!

I have some problems with the IGTC_Plate_Kit.psd. I'm using Gimp, just downloaded the latest version of it 2.4.4. I can locate the layers just fine black and grey, but the grey also appears to be black. Anybody else having any issues with this or is it just me?

I can confirm that both layers appear as black in The Gimp. PS opens it fine though, obviously.

The value you're looking for is #9F9F9F.

Skins (auto)downloaded into the skins_x/y folders can not be chosen in the garage by the user. Skins stored in the skins/skins_dds folders can.

skins\ - Only used for converting jpegs to dds. Skins in here aren't really used in-game.
skins_dds\ - Your skins, the default skins, and additional public skins you want to use should be saved here.
skins_x\ - Autodownloaded skins at low resolution. Skins in this folder can only be seen.
skins_y\ - Autodownloaded skins at high resolution. Skins in this folder can only be seen.

Just normal thing, some law firm sent them automatically generated C&D letter (obviously requested by iRacing) and TPB admin answered it with mostly using F-words or something other uber-smart and thinking that makes them look cool. I wonder do law firms even bother reading basicly any email reply they get. I think only thing why they collect these letters and replies to the site is to enlarge virtual penis.

After having read a few of their replies it appears as if the TPB staff is nothing more than a bunch of snot-nosed kiddiewinkies who seem to think that they own teh internets. I'm glad I so very seldom visit their website, thus not contributing as much to their advertisement income.

No, probably not as insane as the USA in that matter (or any other matter when comparing to the the states, hehe!). Though I'm not saying we're overly strict. I just want to tone things down.

As was said in a conversation between me a team mate: "the law is the same here as anywhere, basically. Though human rights are prioritized." (Especially privacy, I guess).

I don't know anything about TPB's policy on removing certain content. I hardly ever visit the site. It's highly overrated imo.

Quote from Jakg :

He meant about the Sweden thing. "No-one knows" where TBP's servers are, but it's a fair guess they have a server or two that aren't in Sweden.

That, and the seemingly common misconception that the authorities in Sweden are lenient on acting against piracy / that there's no "strict" laws against it. A law is a law. There are no levels of "strictness".

Edit: I don't know anything about the whole iRacing deal (original quote adjusted accordingly).

Quote from JeffR :

They're located in Sweeden, where there are no laws against torrents and copyright laws aren't as strict.

Wrong! Re-read the thread.

Actually he had stopped. Almost one week ago. No need to stir things up again.

Good luck to storm-servers!

Quote from duke_toaster :

That's TPB, and they are not breaking Swedish law.

Well, we are soon to find out. Four of them are now on trial. (Either way TPB is definitely not entirely based in Sweden.)

Quote from Bean0 :

Torrents are teh suck anyway.

Agreed.

Edit: Well, not literally "soon". It will most likely take years.

Actually, while sobering up, I realized the buttons (and cameras?) were created by using the LFS TV Director application created by Soeren Scharf.

Re: TR race: season 6, race 5 (division A).

I'm probably not supposed to post this here given the facts it's semi-internal and I'm not the original author. But since there were a few international participants in this particular race I figured this clip could be promoted here as well. (Original post.)

Dan, about the admin issues, are you sure the /admin setting isn't commented (//). It is by default.
