Quote from hyntty :I once somehow ended up in a cruise server. I didn't understand anything what was going on there

ok i can say you that from the few minutes a was there
the track is sectioned and every section can have different speed limit, there are cops and if you violate something they will hunt you and then you have to pay money, for money you can buy a licences for cars, money you can get from driving and also lose from overspeeding.... blablablablabla

Quote from wOoOzZy :I wanna congratulate JCY again for his win. We had a great battle all throughout the 50 laps. I don't think we were ever more than 2 seconds apart. One of the best races I've had.

Quote from Mazdaratie :
Edit: I just saw Kimi Raikkonen didn't get a penalty either for exactly the same accident

2 min 20 sec
i don't know if he gets penalty but he broke his front wing and had to go pits for new one, from commentators speech they say this is what he didn't need to do

Quote from Zany :Yeah I suppose quitting is a bit radical. Truth is I don't see a way to get myself an S2 license ( money etc.) And demo is killing me (litteraly the amount of wreckers is absolute madness)

i can only agree, the amount of money to pay for games (another goods to) when compared to salary is in our country very bad, for example in Poland the games costs half...

i think it was violation of CRC rules:
Running in to the car ahead of you

RA-1: The onus is on the behind driver to take all necessary care and responsibility not to run into an ahead driver.

RA-2: The ahead driver must not do any malicious or inappropriate braking or slowing. The ahead driver is entitled to be slower or use longer and earlier braking zones than others. They are also entitled to turn in earlier or later and/or apex earlier or later. They are also entitled to be inconsistent and erratic.

Quote from Gekkibi :Here is the fixed helmet. Once again botched the flags:


When SC goes to the pits, the yellow flag is still on. It will change to green flag after the leading car passes the finish line. So don't overtake until you get the message "Green flag".

And after the leading car is behind SC, no one can overtake SC any more (Remember: You are not allowed to overtake anyone, except SC if you are not the leading driver. If you are in the middle of the formation, you would have to overtake multiple cars before you could overtake SC, so it is not possible without violating the rule ["Don't overtake when yellow flag is on"]).

If you pit during yellow flag, you will lose positions. Probably you will end behind the whole pack. You are not allowed to retake your position (Because overtaking is forbidden).

I suggest that everybody saves the replay. If you think someone violated the rules, let us know after the race and we will check it. Take notes when it happened (What lap and who did it). Penalties can be given after the race as well.

When you leave the pitbox, turn as much as possible so you can avoid going through another pit-box. I will not give penalty if you you slightly cut through another pit-box, however. Just don't use them as a runway.

thx for helmet

runway... i tried the new pitting and it's slower, but i realized it for me i much more precise so i have to slow down and than turn to the pit so i wont miss it

the pitline racelines, the right is for penalties, the left for pitting? because for me it's more comfortable to drive on the orange hatched line, not so close to the pits because i think it's risky, so if there is enough space on the right for another FBM, the pitting line is OK or we are forced to drive between the pits and the hatched line allowed only to cross it when entering and exiting?

Quote from Mazdaratie :Well not really

I mean when there is a safetycar and he lets the field go (safetycar enters the pits), so there is a green flag. What if I'm in 2nd position? Can I overtake the leader before the start/finish line? Or is overtaking only allowed after the line?

Hope you get my question, don't know how to explain it in another way.

Btw, is the server only now? Because I don't see it

that Q was there, i think it's you can overtake immediately on the GREEN FLAG

got Q for SC to: if someone is driving a lap after the 1st driver, so it is like 1st 2nd 3rd 10th 4th ... is the 10th driver allowed to overtake the 3rd 2nd 1st and the SC? or not?

another Q: the pits are open on YELLOW FLAG? but it can cause me to lose positions right?

Q: will there be some protests so everybody from the racers, marshalls can watch the race and suggest additional penalties (time) for
pitlane crossing
pitcrew killing (how much of pitstops can we CROSS? on enter and exit?)
or some violations of CRC
etc.

Quote from Zany :How about a sort of test race on Saturday evening? like 30 lap race with the real racing conditions and stuff. I think it's a good way to get to know eachother a bit better on the track so you won't have to at the real race day

got same idea, hope there will be someone not like in another days
especially we have to practice the Turn 1 so that everybody will know that it is very important to brake earlier and having a space where you can react, possibly to teach people cornering with a FBM side by side, so you won't bump or push someone out

report time (with link to web-clocks you will use) and date pls for the preRace-Training

2 gekkibi: pls set the race to the proper format as the race will have, so enable Q. and 50laps with low wind fo race, don't forget to send the info about race, where when, name, pass, hope there will be some practice time, qualification, warm up and final race
also, can we choose the skins? can i have some yellow one? or some light color to close that (not white pls), yellow from the view of driver is sufficient (i use a yellow one skin now so i'm stick to it THX

PS: sorry for me missing for all the later PQs but im finishing my work now and exams are already there :/
PSS: http://www.bipm.org/en/scientific/tai/time_server.html clocks with UTC

will be there any official practicing of start and first lap? like 10 times again and again? because lot of people just crash in the first corner after start trying to get better possition or get someone out of the race

i think it could be good for someone to practice that, make random position every start

Quote from Gekkibi :My brother plays LFS (Demo, he is too mingy to buy a license. Every time we see, he begs for me to unlock his LFS. Let him suffer. ) and he uses mouse. Y-axis as steer and X-axis as throttle/brake. He is used to this method, because he plays Racer.

You can do this by using "Joystic/wheel", and set axis to throttle and brake. He opens up connection list, so he can see the cursor (He says that it helps alot when you see it, because then he knows how much throttle/brake he has, and also helps in the steering).

yeah i tried that but i didn't see the mouse so it was very hard, the connections trick is probably good, but im some kind of used to use gas and brake together, like braking while downshifting with gas, stabilizing the car with gas when i'm on brakes, when drifting, rallying :rally_dri steping on brake and gas together or left foot braking, hope that's all my crazy stuff with pedals (excluding clutch, but that is unusable on FBM :heyjoe67_)

Quote from Booschie :...
BTW is there a good way to avoid cramps over such a long distance? I'm driving with mouse

my keyboard mouse settings:
A - throttle
S - shift up
X - shift down
C - clutch
space - handbrake
Q - look left
W - look behind
E - look right
... (i think standard)
left mouse - horn
right mouse - brake
mouse4 & mouse5 - F9 & F10
wheel down - light flash
wheel up - speed limiter

so my finger on A suffer, after 25 laps or so i have to change the finger on straightaway

PS.: why this funny settings? because of earlier RBR, it don't have mouse so me & my friend managed to set throttle away from the unusable arrow keys to shift keys

Quote from Gekkibi :As a side-note, I am delighted to see that racers helps each other. They are sharing their setups and giving race-line hints etc on the server. This is truly what the word "sportsmanship" means.

wow when? i missed it that is really good, my setup can be also downloaded on another forum, but i won't post it there, because i want to force others to make their own setup for their style of driving but i can help with tunning the setup, just ask maybe i will know it or forward you somewhere, there is lot of resources that can really help
