Fun! I'm not such a big fan of the Forum N00b-award though. Sure we'd all do it for a laugh but it might not be as funny for the person who receives the award.

Quote from danowat :

My suggest, decide on the catagories yourself [...] open it up here and it will be 2010 before you get anything done, you know what this forum is like..............

My thoughts exactly.

Quote from MAGGOT :

Fel, how can you drive with the pedals so close to you? Your legs are damn near vertical there. I need to stretch out to be able to drive even half-decently.

Yeah It is a bit odd isn't it? I think it might because of a combination of having a high desk and the pedal's tendency to slide if they're approached from a lower angle. I'm not positioned that way when driving real cars ...

Edit:

Quote from Zachary Zoomy :

do us all a favor and put on pants and socks before doing your videos!

Being bare foot rocks! At least most of the times. I was just preparing lunch when a piece of onion jumped out of the frying pan and landed on my bare foot. It hurt a bit.

Thanks! I know!

Edit: I knew showing too much skin would bring this thread off topic.

Great servers + great people = the world's best LFS server provider!

No offense to Franky, but perhaps "the world's best commercial LFS server provider!" is a more suitable description?

Quote from Blackout :

So, where did you actually get that information then?

The online translation viewer.

Quote from Hurley24 :

P.S if i could an S2 licence out of this that would be really cool but if not i can wait till x-mas

Grattis på födelsedagen!

Quote from thisnameistaken :

And it might mean I get a race in the LRFs / LX4 occasionally, which practically never happens online because everybody's scared of them.

Everybody except Blackout and his pals and all the 56 racers that participated in this race.

Edit: Woops, OK. Some of them drove the FXO. But on the other hand surprisingly many chose the LX4 even though the TBO class was available.

1. DX10 compability.
2. Drift machines.

Tonight we experienced something very strange on one of our event servers. It is hosted along with a few other servers on a dedicated machine running Windows 2003 Server. It's bandwidth and performance should not be an issue (which it also has proven on many occasions).

Here are the details:

• About 40 seconds into the race there is suddenly an incredible amount of lag.
  
• All cars disappear on and off during roughly two minutes.
  
• Some cars disappear for 1 or 2 seconds, other 10-20 seconds.
  
• No one times out nor disconnects / gets disconnected during the lag, but,
  
• the lag stops as soon as [TDRT] Riise spectates.
  
• A race that started on another server (on the same machine) at exactly the same time didn't suffer from any lag.
  
• During the first one or two lap(s) of the race, there is something odd going on with the track textures (when tabbing between cars).
  
• The event logs of the server does not show anything out of the ordinary.
  
• The network and system resource utilization was constantly low throughout the race.

Server-side replays from the server in question (server A): race session - qualifying session - warm-up session.
Server-side replays from the other server (server B), that did not suffer from lag: race session - qualfying session - warm-up session.

Please note that the lag only occoured for two minutes during server A's race session. I'm just linking the other sessions in case they are needed.

Edit: There seems to be something wrong with replay of server A's qualifying session. Don't know it's related.

Why is everyone posting their LFS username?

[Sorry about OT, this is not a sign-up. I just find it funny.]

Nice initiative! I reckon it'll encourage a few more players to join the jump and bump servers.

:doh:

I'm speechless.

Seriously, if it's such a big problem and you can't wait for patch Y just re-download an old version. Which version do you prefer? I'll help you find it. Actually, I'd do anything to put an end to this discussion.

Try lining the two videos up next to each other!

Quote from Jakg :

Every issue i've EVER had with LFS has been with my computer - this is a common DRIVER ISSUE.

Try removing the drivers completely and installing the latest ones.

Wrong. LFS is poorly written. That's why it is able to malfunction for every ~thousandth person.

Oh, whaddayaknow?!

Thanks for the clarification, but I guess I'd find out sooner or later since my servers aren't run under Wine these days.

Edit: Did anyone report this in the bug report forum yet?

Epic footage! Thanks for the link!

Sounds like fun, good luck!

Quote from The Very End :

You just have to wait
If I remember right you get a new unlock every week, or you get 3 more in the end of the month.

No you don't. You can't have more than two spare keys (unless you just bought the game and haven't unlocked for the first time yet, that is).

Quote from http://www.lfs.net/?page=agreement :

3.3 We recognise that people may buy a new computer or reinstall their operating system from time to time. For this reason, we will automatically give you an extra spare unlock once a week (every friday morning), up to a maximum of having 2 spare unlocks available. The number of unlocks you have left can be found on your status page.

AFS is attached. Please note that you will also need to download/update the SMX files which can be grabbed at this page.

Well it seems to have been released in april, 2006. My guess is that it's for LFS 0.5Q.

Quote from daKasi :

I was mostly concentrating on delicious pie we had during the presentation.

There, there, you did the right thing. Your efforts did, and and will continue to reward you throughout your studies and the rest of your life.
Pie always comes first-It's the key success factor.

Quote from Tweaker :

Hmmm that sucks. Scawen must've made the texture tile now... because it used to be able to be edited fully to make a nice custom grille. Damn this 'optimization', damn it to hell!!!

Those changes were made years ago.
