Little update, since many complained about having 2 long weeks with only FWD, we've decided to have the XFG and XRG together for this week and the next one, next week's event will be on BL1R!

Good luck!

Too bad, a podium would have been possible.

Sorry for you mate, that tire got there because of repeated careless driving which as been sanctioned.


21 cars qualified and the first 17 drivers were spread over 0.8 sec, it was promising a fast and heavy race.

I watched the replay and it looked like it was good race for most of us, nice one gents!

On my side it was one of those days when I should have stayed in bed , well I guess they can't all be good...

You can download dailycious's replays here (from next week we'll add the quali replay's too): http://www.ready2rollteam.com/ ... wtopic.php?f=44&t=685

Edit: Oops, I forgot to congratulate my friend Kiensle for a great win!!!

Quote from jrd.racer :I was watching for a short while and man i wished it had a wheel set w/shifter and clutch. Felt like I was missing something. Hope it goes well man.

btw: can i join to watch for upcomming rounds? if there isnt too many competitors?

Of course!
Make sure to check the other servers, Dailycious runs also two normal servers, always with the sim spirit.

It was fun tonight, I had little training before, so my plan was to take it easy, carpio and aerox started with an infernal pace, with aerox doing 1:31:58 (-0:01WR), so best chance was to fight with the rest of us (the humans) for the last place on the podium. Sadly Carpio had some problems and had to retire, so lucky second place for me with B!K3R and MoMo in my mirrors.
Grats to Aerox for the win and an impressive start!

THX to everyone who has participated, it was a fair race and blue flags were well respected, you are all gentlemen sim racers!

Tonight first event UF1/FE2R, not as easy as I expected it to be, could be quite hard to do the 40min +1lap (with pit) without any errors.
First event is open to everyone (g25 or similar), join the fun if you dare!

Click on the link for the program in the first post, gti/tbo start Thursday with sprint/training and next Thursday with the first event, then every week for 10 weeks on the same day.
Don't forget you will need a bronze license to enter the events, so make sure you do a couples of laps on the server before.

Good luck!

We are all human and with those settings even more , (stupid) accidents will always happen in racing, what's important is to make sure to try avoiding them and not to cause them intentionally.
Many ppls are just starting with those settings now, so it is a good time to start building some experience, so you're welcome to join us!

Quote from Gener_AL (UK) :Its been very Interesting watch R2R and R4R work together/ Race together and seeing the fruits of their labour on/off the track.

Keep it up

I reccomend these servers to anyone looking for some seriously solid racing, with a bucketload of good vibrations look no further then the OP.

edit

*also never new that the AA demo server was under your wings, been racing there too a little recently* Nice demo races there too

THX mate, the relations we have in the cooperation have nothing to do with team work, we are like a family with 3 principles, Friendly, Fair and Fun.

Dailycious Series Part3! (no registration!)

Dailycious Series Part3!

After a great racing year in 2009 we had a well deserved winter break (nothing worse than tired admins to manage a server), during that time we’ve seen LFS take the arcade road, the much awaited patch is creating a strange ambiance which is making the community lose its sim racers. So before everyone leaves we are going to try to make a small contribution to sim racing, so the idea is to restart dailycious for 10 weeks before the summer. This time it will be a little different, we have spent the winter creating a close cooperation between Ready2Roll & AirAttack & Rasta4Racing & Eteam (more on this later…), so 4 servers will run daylicious, & AA demo Racing, & R4R TBO/GTI, & R2R GEN Racing and a 4th server which we will call & R2R GEN PRO for now. The idea here is to have one team dedicated to each server running dailycious. The series will be open for everyone as always, the racing will be organized with sim racing spirit and with different levels of difficulty, races will have different length and many cars will be used… We will use the safety handicap (GTi/TBO, GEN) for driver under the 70% (!safe), meaning that 5kg extra mass will added for each 5% under the 70% to unsafe drivers, new drivers on our servers will be attributed a safety index of 70% when they join the first time, so it will be up to them to maintain it to avoid handicap. All servers stats will be reset, everyone will have equal chances at the start and you will be able to drive all cars with no licenses restrictions to drive them…

The & R2R GEN PRO server will be a bit different, we have been talking to many racers like us about using realistic settings and respecting wheel turn, inside view, H-shifter and manual clutch. But many say that they don’t use those settings because almost no one use them and it would mean being slower and that is not acceptable for most of us, so we want to start an experiment and use this server to do that. It means that the server will be restricted for those settings, interested racers will have to register and agree to a short contract to enter our Sim Club, only then they will be able to race on this server, others will be allowed to spectate. The server will have its own stats to allow us to compare them with others who use the same settings… Note that this server will be closely watched and replays will be saved, so in case of cheating, exclusion from this server will be definitive, no second chances or appeal will be possible. So if you think you are hardcore enough and want to try something different, follow this link (first week will stay public to give time to everyone to try it): http://www.ready2rollteam.com/ ... wtopic.php?f=67&t=674

Servers descriptions:

& AA Demo Racing: Managed by Air Attack team. Here we want to enter the demo scene and offer its racers some more serious racing on weekly basis. It will run the 3 allowed cars on BL1 and BL1R with 2 Dailycious races of 20min + 1lap every Monday's with reversed grid for the second. The last week of dailycious all 3 cars will be used, one per race. Events will be every Sunday's and a minimum of coper license will be necessary to enter the race.

Sunday's
Qualifications: 18:30 UTC (25min)
Race1: 19 :00 UTC (20min+1lap)
Race2: 19:30 UTC (20min+1lap)



& R2R GEN Racing: Managed by Ready2Roll team. Here we will run 5 categories of cars GTL/GT2/GT1/FBM/FOX, Each category will run twice during the 10 weeks. One category per week and 1 tracks per week and we’ll have 2x20min + 1lap (No pit and with reverse grid for the second race) dailycious race every Monday's.

Monday's
Qualifications: 18 :30 UTC (25min)
Race1: 19 :00 UTC (20min+1lap)
Race2: 19:30 UTC (20min+1lap)


& R2R GEN PRO (Sim Club): Managed by the cooperation. So here we want to start a little experiment to see if we could get a group to like some more realistic ways of racing, by that we mean H-shifter, Manual clutch, original wheel turn and inside view. I know some will say that not everyone has a G25 and this was true a 2 or 3 years ago, but by now most ppls have one or similar. The server will be able to control things like the H-shifter, Manual clutch and inside view. Here we will use 10 of the 12 cars with H shifter, UF1, XFG, XRG, LX4, RB4, FXO, XRT, FZ5, UFR, FZR, with one car and one track per week. The server will be ''private'', but it will remain open for everyone to try during the first week of training (with easy UF1), we’ll do 8 laps sprint races with pit during the week and 40min + 1lap + pit Dailycious race every Wednesday's… Here there will be no safety handicap or minimum license to enter the events because registered racers will be considered as respectable sim racers…

Wednesday's
Qualifications: 18:30 UTC (25min)
Race: 19 :00 UTC (40min+1lap+pit)


& R4R GTI/TBO: Managed by Rasta4Racing. Like we’ve seen in many occasion TBO has ups and downs, so we will add the XFG and XRG which will give them 5 cars, Each car will run twice during the 10 weeks series. Here we will use only one car at the time and one track per week ending with 40min + 1lap + pit Dailycious race every Thursday's.

Thursday's
Qualifications: 18:30 UTC (25min)
Race: 19 :00 UTC (40min+1lap+pit)

All races are automatically managed by Airio, so schedule will be respected and you will be able to join the second multi race events if you missed the first.

We are a big organisation and many of us will be racing most events, we hope you'll join the fun!

Little note: for the preparation of the series, I have renamed the server to ''& R2R GEN PRO'', I'll explain later today why and what will happen...to be continued...

Quote from Asphalt Scream :I wish I was at home and not at work...
I always drive full manual and Im looking forward to test my skill in a server like this.
Do not feel guilty f people with different wheels or setting cannot enter; they have the whole LFS server list to choose from.

Is this server permanent or it is on only on particular times? Because I think I will not be able to try it until a couple of days.

All public for now (24/7), but registration to the sim club will be necessary when the series start ( soon), meaning only the club member will be able to race there.
No worry it is here to stay!

Quote from troy :Nice one, should be a fun server, I will surely visit it if I find the time.

Regarding the wheel turn thing, I'm running 540° for example, not because I feel like it's faster but because the forcefeeback motors are just getting too slow if I set it any higher. You can easily test this yourself, in theory the wheel should center itself out if you let it go after a slide but the motors are not strong/fast enough to do that on 720° (at least not on my g25, not sure if it's any different on other wheels). There was a nice comparison on youtube about that problem posted by Niels Heusinkveld but I can't find it right now, maybe somebody can help me out.

Not sure what I want to say with this post other then don't judge people just because the hardware is not up to the task you're asking from it. Hope I could make myself clear.

Loud and clear mate, it is controller ability vs linearity, long debate hehe...
I guess that's why logitech made the centring spring...

What I like so much from using those settings is that it reintroduce the human factor even for the best of us, everyone will miss a gear once in while, down shifting while braking has to be very precise and passing a car under braking has to be done so carefully, no dive bomb possible or you'll end up in an uncontrolled mess...even on the strait you notice that no one shift exactly the same which result in small difference in speed...

On a personal note, I suck terribly with H shifter and lost 2 sec everywhere, I guess it will take me months to get up to sequential level (if ever), but I love every minutes driving like this...
It is not do what you like, it is like what you do...small difference but it means the world to me!

THX for the great comments! it is music to our hears!

Quote from michele0676 :Is there a way to fix the speed of steering ?
An uman that using 720° with XFG cannot do the same steering speed of a 200° steer, or not ?

Yes you're right I think, reduce the original wheel turn by half and you double the speed of your reflexes...
No insim info is reported by lfs about the wheel, that said if you watch someone driving you can see if he uses small wheel turn...

It is a long time I want to do something like this, but because we couldn't restrict the servers I've waited, but now I feel we can do enough to make it interesting and if someone is stupid enough to chose our GEN PRO server to use the only arcade setting we can't control...so be it... nothing more to say than ''sad for him''...

THX for the your enthusiastic answers guys!

@mc: like I said, even if we manage to control the wheel turn with a filter based on insim info, ppls will still have the possibility to set the game at says 720 (the info which will be reported) and set the driver setting in windows to 320 or 360...so sadly not much we can do there.

That said, taking corners with one hand with a small wheel turn is a lot harder than with two hands ...

Update: Due to some confusion about the server settings, the server has been renamed to & R2R GEN H BOX


Little post to tell you that we are testing a new server dedicated to the H shifting cars, the server will be restricted to Manual axe clutch, H shifter and incar view and no button clutch, no shift macro and no auto gears will be possible… because not everyone has a G25 or similar those servers never have much success, but we think times have changed and many of us have one of those wheels by now, and there is no reason why sim racers shouldn’t have a place dedicated and restricted to those settings. Most importantly, you will be able to race and compare yourself to other racers with equal tools…

Only one thing, and I hope dev read this , the wheel turn can’t be restricted, it would be great if lfs could report some info on this (insim info)… and even then it would never be reliable because ppls would always have the driver settings to play with… We hope sim lover will have the fair play to respect this part of the settings, we can’t control or restrict it.

We are planning to build a ‘’sim club’’ around this server with a little series, so registration will be necessary, but in the mid time the server is public for everyone to play with…So I thought lets warn everyone J. At the moment we are trying the 12 cars (H shifter) we have, so expect combo’s to change often in the coming days.

THX to EQ Worry and Airio for giving us the tools to do this!

PS: To all racers without that kind of wheels, I know this is not friendly to you guys, but understand there are no reason for us to be punished, braking with H shifter in a pack of sequential is just mad… and believe me I am racing on lfs for a while and since two weeks that I have changed settings, I have the feeling I am rediscovering it all over again, this will get me by before S3 arrives and Hope others will share that with me!

More soon….Have fun!

Edit: The server has been renamed to ''& R2R GEN PRO''
