Quote from MousemanLV :Anything below 1 is either in Alpha or Beta, Gutholz.

For projects in continuous open-ended development it does not make sense. After 14 years Inkscape (graphics editor) is still only at v0.92 but nobody would think about when its beta-phase will end.
Or a more popular example:
VLC video player took eight years to reach version 1.0 but it was widely used before then without thought of alpha/beta. When version 1.0 of VLC came along it did not mean anything special: after years of counting up it simply had gotten to "1" eventually.

Quote :Increased LOD distances of humans / drivers / marshalls

Maybe possible for cars too?
Sometimes at some distances the smaller details (like the wire-things that hold the hood on GTR cars) blink in and out.

Quote from MousemanLV :When will we be out of beta :kappa:

i think there has been no alph/beta tags since some years, it is just the numbers and letters now.

Quote from Eclipsed :So what should I do now? What would be your suggestion to avoid this "conflict"?

calender looking and use your knowledge about lfs scene Wink

For example in last weeks there was there was RTFR and that spanish MRT Cup, both on same tuesdays. It worked to race both events but it is rare. Often it did not work out because events overlapped. Sometimes the overlap is just 30minutes or so, but that is enough to miss one..unnessecarily.

Or take for example the cityliga league on mondays, a time that seemed to suit people. Now bit ago the saison ended and between saisons cl always has a break. If during the break another league was running at same time, I would race there because it fits my rythm already anyway.

Quote : is it so that the main server to which all players connect when trying to play online races is a single point of failure? When it is offline, no one can connect any online play?

I thought when the master server is down just the server-list/browser does not work anymore. But you can still connect to servers directly?
But uptime seems very good anyway..

There is also this possible error: http://askubuntu.com/a/265222
I would test if the DVD drive works (with a known-to-work windows CD maybe) and then ask at linuxquestions.org Wink

maybe problem is that the 'doubts' often are undistinguishable from advertising.
"Look at this! It is so illegal. Look at it. Please say something about it. Here are the links again."

well, this thread shows once again what kind of enviroment to expect on cracked serves.

If I remember correct for local network it works to play with two computers on one license, for online play each needs seperate one.

maybe something went wrong when patching? i'd make backup copy of replays, setups etc and then re-install to new folder.

Maybe some strange gearbox settings that AI drivers do not like and burn the clutch?

Quote :Clearly it's easier racing on a hacked server

Did you look at the screenshot?
Probally good racing to be found on a cruise-mode server named "Drift Land" on AutoX Carpark.

How did you find out about this show?
And those races where they had the drivers in cockpits in the studio were the qualifying rounds, and for the final race the players were driving from home over internet?

ND = new driver
OD = old driver

1) ND connects to server
2) ND tabs to his teams car, sets his driving view
3) ND brings up playerlist with N
4) OD enters pitlane
5) ND clicks 'T' in playerlist
6) during the pitstop, OD leaves the car in neutral *
7) OD accepts the driver-change by clicking the 'T' too
8) ND is in control of the car


faster variante:

5) ND clicks 'T' in playerlist
6) during the pitstop, OD leaves the car in 1st gear AND stays on throttle AND hold down clutch *
7) Holding down clutch requires only one foot/finger. So once the pit-stop is coming to an end (watch the messages about refueling etc) OD rapidly clicks the 'T' as fast as possible.
Do not attempt to "react" to end of pitstop, just continously spam the button! *click click click*
8) ND is also on throttle, but not on clutch
9) Once pitwork is finished, because of the click-spam ND will instantly get control
10) At moment of driver-change, clutch is suddently not pressed anymore and because engine & turbo are already spun up, acceleration is much better.

The car-take-over times out after a while. (about 30-60 seconds?)
So if you press it too early during the lap remember to 'refresh' it during the pitstop.

* That is important in case the driver-change did not work, (usually by mis-click) because once the car has moved you have to do another pitstop to try again.

Was not some patches ago something changed how controller calibration works? I think there is no lock-button anymore. At least I can not see it either...

What do you mean by "decalibrating itself"? That the wheel is not in sync with the ingame wheel anymore, not straight? Does it happen to the pedals too?
