Where are the rules for GTAL? Is it the same as CRC? And what are the differences? +SC

Will it be possible to participate in the test race even if the team is not choosen/required for it?

Thx

Quote from niels1 :Too bad I missed it.

What still puzzles me why are people still nagging about restrictions ?.
FXR is and has been always the slowest of 3. Especially on the long tracks as Aston or Kyoto since LFS was developed.

Ask your self a question ?. Do i want to win the GTAL ? If yes ditch the FXR as simple as that. And start practising the FZR or XRR.
If you dont wanna win and want to be in "safe zone" get your FXR.

All it comes down to is how you are able to drive the car.
Time to sink in at certain people that they wont be a Alien. Myself included but knowing that ages ago.
Also time to sink in that they will not get a pro carreer with sim racing.
Come on people you play this for fun, not for a living.

Definitely a good point!

And I have to say I like the new GT9 restrictions, less power -> more handling, at least for my mouse :mouse:

Quote from ElonB13 :does anyone have replay ?

I have it from my teammate as I got 2 disconnects (~2-3.lap, ~24.lap) (won't race from this connection).
But many people saved it as I asked if somebody could share it here too. But it seems like I'm first. REPLAY Q+R

There is what I needed it for: The secret information gathering
As I like to look at how the drivers did, though it only shows the last connection so my 1st half of race is lost.

I would say give all the cars the same peek Power (kW/HP) so they are equal and the disadvantages and advantages of the cars then can count.
"Oh no FX2 is too slow": yes it's the easiest, 4x4, bad balanced, so what do you expect?
"damn that FZ2 is too fast!" yes it might be, because it has wider tires, has more weight on rear and that's how racing cars tend to be balanced, and you don't have to wait for the turbo to spin up to give you power, but it also consumes more fuel -> the car is probably heavier, etc.
"XR2" around 50:50 balance, with fuel it shifts to rear, FR RWD, but normal tires and lazy turbo

I do get it what you're trying to do, to equal the cars with restrictions by comparing times of several drivers. But many tracks driven by aliens would be needed :/

I drive FX- just for fun, XR- for race and when I can handle the FZ- I choose it, I'm a NA porsche lover. (Mouse driver so FZ- is quite hard...)

Quote from PMD9409 :Not sure if it is still a possibility or not, but there might be two servers if there are well over 30 cars. It was a thought for the test race (the more cars the better right?) but I dont know if Deko and other admins will do this. Just throwing that out there if some teams want to have multiple drivers attend.

yes we do, as we take it as a practice and would like to race each our own car in the test race

How do you plan to choose the 28? teams from the 38+ applications?
I mean what is the sorting algorithm To get the top 28? most suitable/wanted/... from the many applications.

Quote from hyntty :

ah yeah I thought it's this league logo, road sign is quite confusing to use for that
J@tko, alright thx
Quote from niels1 :nah great picking, indeed the shortest out there.
Small track, well in the twisty bit but still room enough to overtake.
This is a challenge not a torture.

Well, I played it many years before becoming S2 licensed so I quite had enough of it, overtaking... hmm like 2 straights where you can safely overtake if you have the speed, other 2 places will slow you down both and you need a big speed difference or the other racer mistake

I don't get it why:
Round 7 - 2 April: 12 Hours of Blackwood Grand Prix (BL1) - Clear Day
???
One of the most boring tracks, the shortest track of the season probably, and the longest race time... not a good idea. It's just a torture on that small track, you should pick one of the longest tracks for 12h.

What road signs are you talking about?

Quote from Chaos :hotmail> the thing is, that 3 times I came up with an offer for the devs, 2x they turned it down right away and the last one, the truck, they at first said yes, I've sent them a 3d model of the truck, but after some time, the guys from Buggyra started asking on the progress and after about a year of the thing being in the status "yes, it will be" it changed to "no, sorry" ... How do you think we looked like infront of the Buggyra guys?
So when we got the offer from Skoda Auto to model the Fabia RS, we did not ask the devs, we went straight to rF and made the mod in 3 weeks to a complete satisfaction of Skoda Auto... Would you have gone to the devs again after such experience and with such a deal?

Yeah devs are a bit off world probably, guys from Skoda are crazy they basically want a lot but they think it's not and want it fast Not very good experences with them I heard of, how was yours? (I mean IT, research and such, so this might come close)

Quote from NotAnIllusion :LFS is a racing simulator, steering is a part of racing, using a mouse isn't an accurate simulation of steering

LOL
I played a lot of racing games on keyboard, then with wheel.
LFS with mouse, couldn't drive it on keyb. and I loved mouse steering from Midtown Madness.
And I played LFS with wheel too, but, if you don't have some fancy wheel, mouse is better, my choice?

Proper Mouse + pedals (independent brake and gas).
And you've got the best combo imho. Fast countersteer, no force feedback to fight with, and analog brake and gas.

BL1/FBM quite easy, drove a lot that combo before winning in that combo a S2 licence, on Mouse+keyboard that I use, no wheels, no pedals.
When do you need pedals? On the hard handling cars. When you need to be faster when braking and exiting the corner. That's the only advantage you can better control the too much powered cars and brakes locking so you can have greater brake force than on keyboard, well until you switch on ABS then brake problem is halfed.

Quote from Inouva :Today was a sad day in cargame, i race 10 races and finish only 2, the rest or a gtr rams me and spaming "BLUE FLAG" trying to overtake in a IMPOSIBLE place ( Like the chicane of south city "So1R" When you are in the downhill to take the chicane) or someone just use your car as a brake or they just smash you against the wall...

I want a server with multiclas , with Badass admins, where if a admin see a wreeker or a driver like i say above, they get perma ban.

Is not for flame to cargame now, but they are 3 or 4 admines, they see how ppl wreek and smash other and guest what, they dont do anithing.


I want a badass server with badass admines that have zero tolerance for wreekers ppl or noob`s drivers

cargame.nl S2 is good, when there is no racing fun anymore and enough GTRs they move to cargame.nl OW or how it is called, but not so often

the problem is, there is everybody and you have to deal with that, if you're fast you're fine most of the time, if you're slow and you get into those noobish FXOs? You're dead, they can't drive people don't take the FXO, it's like a family wagon and that's the only thing you can drive, take a XRT and learn to drive properly.
So with GTRs, for me still GT2s you just need to be good in overtaking, there is no point in crashing etc. and mostly it's because the car in front of view doesn't leave you space, brakes, makes a manevuer into your line, etc. it's their fault! I just stay in the perfect line and when I see a chance of overtaking I take it, sometimes they are very good and they really show respect and let you pass, show you the direction with lights where they will go and so on, but those are special days
Admins, I think they're good, they're doing their job, some times more sometimes less, well they race too! If you have a problem tell them, they'll watch a replay and act don't worry be happy

Quote from Chaos :Just to inform you guys.

In the light of how the development of truck racing in LFS (I prepared a deal for LFS with Buggyra (the last years European Champions in truck racing)) went (the devs at first liked it, but then decided the time was not ripe for trucks to make it into LFS). We now finished Skoda Fabia RS (with full support from Skoda Auto) for rFactor.

Well, this all could have been for LFS, but the devs have their policy... No bad feelings from our side involved, just stating things the way they are...

nice one mate

yeah it's F.U.C.K.ed up, I'm here on the forum after a big time and... it looks like it's worse and worse, thow I don't like rFactor can't properly drive like in LFS with mouse there
LFS needs to enable mods, or it'll die, graphics is OK, physics... maybe (well so far in the top10 but still long way to go), but it needs mods... cars, tracks, etc. why isn't Half-Life dead? Because you could make your own mode at home any time! And download hundreds of others.

I don't know but devs... I'll ruther shut up as it's use less to say anything here, it's not going to change and if it's than prove it and change it!

There are people that make mods even if its' that hard, cars, graphics, audio, tons of server stuff I don't know, and you just don't want them to do it, WHY?

netkar pro... very diappointed, unplayable on mouse, bad menus and configuration, stupid install and running, too high graphic requirements, shitty demo, only one formula and one car, no MP in that no other cars, no fun, LFS rocks one of best games I've ever played well I'm playing it still actually will never and maybe

Quote from Ant0niS :Yes, I tried many compinations

The only way I can run LFSstats with TCP ON, is

1. Run LFS at my Laptop (Vista 32bit)
2. Run LFSstats at my Desktop (Vista 64bit) using the LAN IP of my Laptop in the "LFSStat.cfg"

This way the TCP working fine.


Thank you commandermas, for your help

so what was the problem? On Vista (don't use it )
that when you wanted to connect stats to server it won't connect?
or it won't connect to localhost like that? Then there is probably something wrong with your OS, firewall, ... I would have to test on Vista, but now there W7 so maybe I'll test it there soon.
#### CONNECTION CONFIG ####
# Host IP.
Host = 127.0.0.1

# Insim UDP or TCP port.
# Before starting LFSStat you must configure LFS server to use this port for InSim.
# You can do that in command line when starting LFS (/insim=29999) or in talk window of LFS (/insim 29999).
Port = 29999

# TCP mode.
# true if you want to use TCP
# false if tou want to use UDP
TCPmode = true

Quote from Velociround :Right click on the installer, "Extract to Live for Speed", click that, done.
No need to keep the 7z packed version, just the installer one, and anyone can extract it and play without running the installer.

oh OK, if it can be extracted, but normal installers can't or only with some tools (not for normal users)
JackCY

will try, but I'm not a fan of installers, they only do useless things and no body ever knows what it really does, registry etc.
if you can stay with the packed version (zip, rar, 7z, ...) it would be good, no installer needed, never had any problems, thx

Quote from Victor :...
Looks like there aren't any more problems, so prolly the installer will be replacing the 7zip tomorrow.

NOOO

just learn how to use your computer people, packed version much easier, download -> unpack -> play

Graphics settings can slow your graphic rendering, so you have a lag between input and actually something happened, but usually it's not big in LFS as in other modern (sh*tty) games

I had similar problem yesterday, everyone was sometimes teleporting, few minutes I couldn't see any car, and on the small map the cars were jumping let's say every few seconds, in one moment I thought I'm offline or something but still no disconnected, I suppose it was because of my poor shared internet connection, my ping was very high and speed around 128kb/s, in one moment after the race other players said that they lost me for several minutes! I suppose that it was all held by LFS, my settings:
Multiplayer speedup option YES
Multiplayer car draw 240m

Quote from indie :...

probably something with the feature I don't use, the WR, PubStat
I didn't changed anything in this part of program, so the same problem you will have with ver. 1
looks like some string cannot be converted to number, like "a" can't be converted to number and the program is expecting number not letter

I think it will be the my horn setup I wrote you on IM
horn on left mouse
JackCY
S2 licensed
lol I heard that something like that happened, but I don't remember me or superobo horning all the way through the stint, I think on my computer there wasn't any horning
anyway this bug is probably unrepeatable thus almost no chance of fixing it :/

maybe you can try, continuously horn and change driver, and see if it will still horn when the 2nd driver is in car
because:
I have horn on left mouse and when I click the T to change driver the horn is probably activated to
so it might be repeateble and then post it in BUG section pls, because I like having horn on left mouse

Quote from pandera :I can't make it work.. must be doing something wrong...

I get two types off error instead of connecting to LFS, dependig on IP i use in the config file:
1. if I use the ip: 192.168.0.120 (from my ipconfig output) i get an error from attachment 1
2. if I use the ip: 127.0.0.1 (the standard for localhost...) i get attachment 2
config file edited with notepad, saved as Unicode, other settings (except for admin password of course) untouched

Is there any step by step guide how to set it up properly that I missed?

LFSRelax for example is running perfectly so it sholudn't be any poblem connected to InSim/ports themself

hey hey, would take me some time to discover what happened
original version works well?
do you have LFS insim port opened, with command like insim=29999
or try debuging it
but I think the original v1 will do the same
firewall OK?

I'm off for a while, studying abroad, feel free to update, change, what ever.

Vista? don't know, I don't use this cr4p, why should I anyway, besides in schools are XP, in work you have XP, Vista not needed
but the question should be why it may not work in Vista
I think it works, just try it.

patch X? quite old? now I'm updating to Z15 I think you should update to newer version to
may work, depends on InSim version

thanks, I looked in insim.txt, but he's changing it, adding etc. :/
it's a lot of work, maybe I will get to it someday

Quote from Gai-Luron :Hello,

I put in first post the link to the V2.0. With all job done on LFSLapper, i forgot to do this. It's a Shame ! Sorry JackCY

i think yamakawa graph.exe must be included in final release. What do you think about this?

Anyway, great job men, i am happy to see new version of LFSStat and graph
Gai-Luron

np, It's not done and newbies could be confused with the v2 because I removed some of your readmes templates etc. probably

The new graph is again a separate .exe? But I didn't find sources, pls send me them, I may add them instead of the Graph 1.20 if you want.

I tried a simple PHP+MySQL which can read the .CSV generated by the stats and view the info on webpage, Leagues, Races, Teams, Drivers, but is's very simple now and in beginning

.XML for LFSNews, never heard about it, enlighten me
.CSV is exported by default I think

My goal is to find out:
what is stored in LFSWorld and where it is getting the info
what can be "recorded" gathered from the game (with insim) and store that info in simple file (XML is not at all simple when you have to parse it manually without any already done tools, frameworks, DLLs, etc. but maybe way to go) and upload that file to online database (for example on your Team website) and show the various information (automatic upload possible)

and any idea how this is gathering data or it is reading them from LFSWorld?
http://www.spdoracing.com/eventdb
Didn't have a time to ask author about details.

Or do you prefer those static HTML? I think storing those data in database is better.

Any idea if there is any way to capture (simple it to only my own car with which I play when recording) live data about car? Camber, speed, steering, spring load, ... data like you can have from .SPR but I want them from my online races.

Thx
