I tested the false start in single player and it gave a 30-second time penalty.

I too can't get a decent lap in that car, its amazingly difficult to drive over bumps. Setup good or bad doesn't seem to make a difference.

Like with your car

Save the planet dude!!!!

I've never got overclocking to work properly or give any recognisable speed increase - my BIOS supports 3 different types of o/c at various speeds. Pound for pound not worth attempting IMHO.

Tell you exactly why I did so well, I watched the replay back and was shocked to see how many drivers were "over driving" their cars.

(pool 6) I had a look at a few people and I'm not picking anyone out specifically, but have a look at Phoenix132 and you'll see what I mean. It is like karting - if you use opposite lock anywhere you're trying too hard. People DIVING into corners resulting in the car slewing sideways and full-throttle with maximum-lock on the way out of the corner resulting in pure understeer.

In this race I saw quickly that it was all about slip-angles and using them to your advantage... standard car control went out of the window here and you had to use the car to turn itself into the corner under trail braking - but not too much as to scrub off speed. I caught "(NASSA) Hallen" as I was getting the hang of it and we had a good tussle, we overtook each other about a dozen times


Kronvall - congratulations on the win!!!

I had a surprisingly good one. Dismal qualifying, got a new setup and finished 2nd from starting something like 15th. Well pleased If I hadn'd accidentally bumped to 1st gear on the last lap I might have had S.Varjonen. Managed to set the fastest lap too.

Thats my point - there SHOULD have been blue flags in our pool but the table is blank in the stats.

So the ones that don't show the stats would be pools 4 & 7? What about sections where it does indeed show "Blue Flags" but the table is empty?

Blue flags; the stats page shows when the blue flags were displayed. Check it out

However I notice that for pools 1 & 2 there's no mention, perhaps an oversight?

Pools 3, 5 and 6 had blue flags as expected.
Pools 4 and 7 did not have blue flags. This is clearly wrong - can anyone investigate?


Thanks.

Hehe BF2

Russraine - you should have crossed the line on the track with the puncture, I thought I was on the last lap so you'd have [crawled] across the finish.

As for braking into the chicane - last thing I wanted to do was end up on my roof (goes for making you end up on your roof too) so I backed out a little earlier than I would have - pointless throwing away a 2nd place for just that.

I had my first win down in pool 7 from 11th on the grid ; I only got the 3rd fastest lap on the server but consistency brought it home for me.

I'm sure that blue flags did show on our server, we lapped several people, most of whom saw us coming and let us through, but there were a worrying number of blue-flags seemingly being ignored. An example is that I hit a racer coming out of the chicane after a tank-slapper and wandering back to the racing line - he shouldn't really have been pushing that hard under a blue flag.

Big up to FF Jonathan Russ, had a good time chasing him, he was obviously more aggressive on the tyres and I was trying to save mine (I had R3's which were always running from 10 to 18 degrees above optimum), we came close a couple of times, I took him when he slowed, drafting down the straights etc, but I always gave him the line and eventually he went off and had a flat tyre about 3 laps from the end - sorry mate, you were quicker overall and deserved the win - sometimes it happens.

Someone please change the boob I made on the title

Oops where did I get that from - the Results page probably - AS Historic my ar$e

VERY laggy race.

One word... intense. Those cars truly take some mastering.

RABBIT - on the 1st lap my replay unfairly showed you banjo-ing around due to lag, but you hit the wall(?) and took me out in the 1st chicane... what does your replay show?

Thanks - got the email too. Good to know it is being looked into Hey, every point counts

CALLING POOL 6 RACERS

Guys, I was having connection problems in the AS Historic Rev race last time. I started the lag lap but dropped and couldn't re-join (the rules say you can't and they change the passwords anyway). I got a DNSH result with a negative point penalty.

I have appealed about this result and am trying to change it to a DNF. Especially after I went to the trouble to let the organisers know I was having issues and not to be surprised if I did drop.

Are there any guys who saw me in the lag lap on this race that would be able to confirm I was actually there? I should be on a replay.
Behind me was Harjun, in front was Phoenix132, MikieH and JonathanRuss...

Thanks.

It has its days. Usually when I've got a league game :O ISP is Nildram but the testing that they've done and that I've done shows it is off their net.


Dave

Thanks VoiD, according to the WIKI then I have intermittent lag between me and the host (I'm not getting the other players' game packets). An extreme of this and I will time out.

Only thing it tells me realy (I THINK) is that I'm not getting replies back from the server (all others at the bottom and only my green one going up).


Dave

I'm having an issue with LFS at the moment and I wondered if anyone actually knows the mechanics behind this... I'd like to understand it.

Sometimes my green bar will rise and rise, then drop back to normal. All the cars drive normally however the messages will pause and then all appear at once when the bar drops back down. Also if the start of a race happens while this is going on I'll miss it - neither can I jump back to the pits, etc....

Sometimes that bar keeps rising and I eventually I will get disconnected.

What I need to understand is what this is actually showing. While this is happening, the cars around me are driving normally, *not* jumping around like I would expect if I was loosing data, but as I say above I am loosing the messages.

So with this in mind, what is my lengthening bar telling me and why does it not affect the other cars?


Dave

PS I have reported this to my ISP but it is off their network.

I had connection problems and it dropped before the first bend on the lag lap At least I'll get points for turning up.



Dave

I'd played the demo but was very bored very quickly; I thought it was just a car park with a hatchback!!!

I actually jumped straight in and bought S2 a long time afterwards because of comments/reviews about it when I was looking for something realistic. I didn't realise the two were the same game until I got S2, how bizarre is that?!

What a race. I was in pool 6 and it was incredibly intense. I managed to throw it sideways a couple of times making nice hot-spots on my tyres though overall they lasted well. I actually had to push harder to prevent the tyres cooling down!!!


Dave

I found this on YouTube - who made it?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v ... ;mode=related&search=

I saw on one of the servers last night that it flagged up (twice) that one of the racers on the server was cheating using a blip change or something. Whassat then? Because I use blip on downchange and it didn't moan about me...

Yes I get this too;
You must do your hotlap with S2 patch U!
