The mpr replay shows what was recorded, so smoothing in between packets will probably lead to all kinds of sync problems. I think the easiest way of making it less choppy is to incease the packet rate. Although smooth replays are nice, I think it would be better to have larger grid sizes.

I dont see anything mentioned about new/different functions in the camera position system (CPP packets). Reading back my initial post I might have been unclear... By custom camera's I mean the custom camera's stuck to the car, which you normally set from within Options > View > Default driver view > Custom. It might have changed but not mentioned or maybe it is something that would only be possible to change in an incompatible version.

Just a little note on the minimum amount of drivers in a team: the thing that makes endurance racing special is that you are in a team: you depend on people and people depend on you. In a team you are not only swapping the driver seat, but also trying to help your other teammates. This whole dependency is no longer there when you allow people to drive as one man teams. I don't doubt it is a real achievement racing 24h on your own, but how fun is it for the other contenders to race someone who just wants to make it to the finish? Also, a team with four people provides a fun event for 4 people, a team with one provides fun for only one person. As the capacity of the server is limited, I think one man teams should be invited only if no other teams are available.

Besides that, I think the organizers have a certain responsibility that people don't do crazy things that might hurt them. Sure, people choose to do it themselfs, but I really think they shouldn't be allowed to in a race. If they want to do it on their own, fine. If there are enough nutters, let them organize a race, but don't allow one man teams to a team race.

Quote from Greboth :

Catia is self explanitory, i learnt the basics quickly and then learnt extra or ahead of my lectures to stave boredem. The only problem with CATIA i found is the errors that are in such bad english they make no sense, or are in proper english but don't make it clear what is wrong and finally errors that when you do the same thing a second time work

I guess making a comprehensible error message is like the hardest thing there is, because the input isn't what is expected and there are like thousands of reasons why it might be wrong. Also, if the program would know exactly what is wrong, it might as well fix it for you...
btw, I just love that message "The action you performed on the part is unnesessary".

Quote from Silncr :

Congratulations to Cyber, very well done!

Best non-fzr-team down to 7th place, that hurts.
But thanks especially to all fzr-teams placed lower in the list, was worth it!

I hope, we will get some balancing for the next season, so it would not be an one-car-league.

You admins did a very good job, thanks for that.

But a little note: A view more Updates on the MoE-Page would have been nice, also some advertisement to put the League more in the spotlight. At the end of the season MoE-driving was in my mind a kind of undercover-racing.

I agree on the last bit, it was quite frustrating to be able to spend only the absolutely necessary time on the league. I would've liked to spend a little more, just to make the league feel more like a real racing series. We will try to cover this area more in next seasons.

I stick to the initial deadline text, so results are as they are.

I guess both are the real winners here, driving for 6h and then fighting for 5th (not at all a bad placing) on the last straight, I don't think that happens very often

By winning the last race of the season, Cyber Racing has won the second season of the Masters of Endurance League. After a conservative start of the season, they have won the last four races, including the 24h at Aston. Cybers main opponent tHUNder Racing, who won the first two races of the season, managed to stay ahead of OCRANA in the overal standings. Both teams had a troublesome race with penalties and disconnections sending them back to positions 7 (OCRANA) and 9 (tHUNder Racing). Behind OCRANA, Mercury Racing team secured fourth place in the championship after having competed in only five races of the season.

Best non-FZR team of the season is pod - virtual racing, who finished 7th in the overal standings, just behind 1ST Racing (5th) and GRENTIS Racing Team (6th). #low-racing ended in a very respectable 8th place, considering they joined the championship at the third race of the season. German teams masterblasters and HFD Racing finished just ahead of the remaining two XRR teams: n!faculty (former champion) and Pedal to the Metal Racing. Clownpaint, teamXFR, Triple 7 Racing, Zwarte Wind Racing, iNF!N!tY*Skills and ProDrive Racing FZR complete the championship standings of the currently active teams.

The Masters of Endurance team would like to thank all drivers who have been driving in any of the races this season; the ESL, n!faculty and Clownpaint for proving us servers (both LFS as webspace); Wolle Tom for letting us use his great lfs-tracker software; Morrow Designs for their renders; gamer-fm for their broadcasting; Mika Radmer for his very interesting commentating; Theo Laas for co-commentating and furthermore all the other people that have contributed to the league in any way.

The complete standings can be found here.

Apart from that it isn't possible to put your own models in LFS, I think CATIA models come with an added difficulty that they are parametric and not polygonal models. So they should be converted first, which would probably be pretty hard as I think the CATIA filetype isn't open to the public (I guess, but not sure).


It sure would be very cool though, it would save me some time at least

I'd like to make the results final on Wednesday 14th of March, so please send me any replays or requests for reviewing before Tuesday 13th of March 23:59 CET.

Especially place 5 and 6 are currently provisional. Currently, masterblasters is 5th and Clownpaint 6th, because that was the order in which they were driving at the moment Clownpaint started to lag. The result will stay this way unless Clownpaint (or anyone else) can provide us with a replay proving otherwise.

All teams are invited to check their lapcharts, as can be found on the tracker. For example (Cyber racing lapchart) : http://moe.lfs-tracker.de/unfiltered_4.html

Incident involving cars #06 and #22 under investigation.

The incident is considered a racing incident. In any other corner such a small touch woudn't have been a problem to either of the cars, but in this corner it did. Let it be a lesson that fighting for positions in an endurance race is different then in a regular race.

Drive through penalty for car #15 - Clownpaint Racing - Chatting.

Stop and go penalty for car #08 - tHUNder racing, for hitting teamxfr at the back.

Alex (admin) was also on t-online. Seems like it was really a problem of t-online.

Drive through penalty - Car #14 - Triple 7 Racing - Ignoring blue flags.

Could all the people who disconnected during the race post what ISP they have?

It seems like it was just a bork of T-Online.

We are currently monitoring the server problems. Race will continue as normal.

Drive through penalty for #99 - M. Radmer - Chatting.

Here is an updated version, sadly without pit rail cams, they are rather hard to make on a pitlane with a bend...
