Watched the replay yesterday again in fast forward, all accidents and ... I didn't find anything worth firing up a protest good job
In first lap T2 it was too crowded and FXR got too close to us in the corner 2 when trying to overtake, so close that slow LFS refresh rate probably kicked us away but FXR continued the race, that's how we dropped to last position in Lap 1 (starting from pits would have been faster)
Was a long ride up the field.

Just my stats of overtaking:
6x in the fast right hander just after passing under bridge
1x in Boothy chicane
2x failed to overtake in T1 usually with some minor contact
and numerous others which were easy so I don't count them.
While on track I found that the corner after bridge is especially easy for overtaking FXRs, they can't get speed for the straight in the technical series of corners before straight.

Thanks for letting us pass under blue flags it was really nice to see, one FXR i think let us pass by taking high line on oval for example, thanks again.

What happened with Genuine racing? We saw them so many times during SC and off track. What was that crash on pit straight about? A lag? It was really nasty looking.

Trying to stay out of trouble really helped in the end.
Goal accomplished no FXR had beaten us

Runas I know you're fast, but I was able to get to you, but wasn't able to pass, and was loosing down-force and time, then you got away as my tires got worn-out. But was hoping you let me pass so I get more distance from DRUNK.

Quote from MonkeyHead :

Session of Incident: Race
Lap of incident: 146 (last lap)
Timecode of incident (may either be qualifying time remaining, race time, or mpr time): 6h1min
Your car Number: 21
Other Car(s) Involved: 25
Brief description of incident: 25 doesn't leave room for 21 in last turns to outside line so 21 was not able to get side by side to next turns anyhow. Just before finish line 25 changes his line a little just before 21 was getting side by side so 21 had to do a rapid move to avoid getting hit. 25 finished 0.05 seconds before 21 so I'm sure this made us lose 1 position.

Alright, I looked at it twice, you were a bit messy in the Boothy chicane, cutting in some laps, no offense everybody did it sometime or another. Good brakes on that FZR I have to say.

Last corner, I don't know how it's with NDR rules exactly but I remember those CRC rules.
You've braked later than me and took the outside line, ended up in drift in the corner.
I cut the corner quite a lot still behind the apex we managed to hit, wasn't intentional I just didn't have were to go. You kept the front inside while sliding the rear.

Quote :

O-1: To obtain right of road position in a corner, the overtaker's car must have substantial overlap of the car that is being overtaken, before they reach the corner's turn-in point. Should the overtaking car not have enough overlap, the leading car may resume its racing line without fear of contact.

Maybe you managed to get some overlap on the brakes maybe not, but before brakes you didn't have, I don't have time to check the opposite side if you're flying there or not, sorry. So I cut and tried to leave you some space.

The straight, I don't know what to say, I have the right to make one change of line on the straight so I used it. It's called defending IMHO.

Quote :

O-5: Ahead drivers have the right to choose any line down a straight. The ahead driver may make one move to block the opposing car, and one move to return to the racing line before the next corner - Unless the opposing car has overlap.

That's it.
---
Good race, did have an unlucky collision in first Lap though, got overtaken by FXR which took slightly outside line, FXR driving too close, maybe lag and I got hit/kicked, turned around and slide out on grass while the FXR was unaffected, eager driving after start... never changes. Keep it cool guys, pls.
Car survived, then some other collisions happened when my teammates were behind the wheel, car received another damage but we were able to continue without repair.

you're welcome

nobody it's pure random who wins
AS FX9
SO XR9
etc.
spectators must have great fun

Well I know that it's endurance and no need to go crazy in first laps but explain it to the rest sometimes, they just go crazy so I have to leave space in the corners because they are trying to overtake, if they fail they crash me etc. hate that eagerness in first laps. And it's wilder the more down the grid you start.

Testrace:
Somebody got out on inlap so the doublefile was opposite side, at least for me on position 7, jumped to 6 during inlap.
I think somebody should have left the space there? So the double-file is correct side?
First lap, drunk braked later collided with drunk (M. W.) in turn, than closed inside of turn in front of me (as result of their collision) and made another collision with me.
Than 21 M. Wentjarvi made a nice mess with his fighting for 2nd position trying to overtake, ended up in huge collision behind the 1st and 2nd car, great job.
Really the only chance to win this is to get a pole, and don't get crashed by the cars starting behind.

Quote from dekojester :

Points updated after Round 5. 179 points remain available on the season.

Deko did you look at those last 2 comments? Are we right or wrong? So it doesn't get lost after Round 6. I know you're busy, just if you know about it.

I was hoping for single file, with double file the first lap is just crazy overtaking and crashes
Maybe it could help, I don't know what to do to not get involved in a crash in a first few laps.

If I'm fast I overtake and end-up in a crash.
When I leave space I'm getting overtaken and get crashed from behind.
So I hope I'll be able to just follow and pass around the crashed cars in first few laps.
Or any tips?

Quote from boothy :

Seemed worse than South City at some points, remember this place can be deceptive with the track width and fast corners. If you do spin, put your brakes on so you don't become a moving target.

Also, let's be a bit sensible with the chicane please, there were a lot of incidents there and also a lot of cutting in the gravel.

Did I start on right and ended up on left in double file? Gotta check but I just followed the car in front which took right so I took left.

First lap disaster. I don't know how is that possible, gonna have to check the replay what happened.

FZR left space inside, I took it than got closed maybe and contact and grass, got back, lot of cars around, lot of in front, next corner everybody trying to overtake each other, 2 cars spun I wanted to pass between didn't make it, got contact on rear wheel and spun, than disaster, cars all around, I didn't put the brake on I didn't even know where the hell am I, I was just hoping for race restart to be honest after that.
Repair after Lap 1, and was driving alone and alone, than some overtaking, some good some bad even from my side sorry, brakes locked when I braked later and couldn't turn in, sorry FZR, I hope that touch on oval wasn't revenge, I didn't mean to push you out but brakes betrayed me.

Had a fight with 03 and some FZR, was good

Boothy chicane, where was the pole? Once I even saw tires flying, I think the pole won't be there for a long time from the 6h race.

Is there going to be test race today at 19.00 UTC?

Pole is fine just keep the layout the same, it would make mess with Q1 and everybody would start hitting tires instead of a stupid pole. If you don't like the pole imagine it's a tire or red-white road block, that will keep you away from the pole the rest of us see.

meh, so many files and code for reading tracker and showing it in window?
TCL/TK heared about it, never used it, what is it about
+ python
you really are into scripting I see

download: internal server error

What pole are you talking about? That one that's all the time flying over my roof and my doors are scratched from the tires in the chicane?
damn I should learn how to drive it more clearly then
edit: hopefully done

So hitting a pole is a no go in Q and punishable if repeated in race right?
What about driving on the pit straight, is it allowed to drive on the left side yellow crossed area near the wall? Or is it a safety area that should be kept clear.

thanks at least I know the correct names now

Hi, I'm looking forward to make this skin a BMW 320i art car - Roy Lichtenstein 1977 but I would like some advice on how to draw all those lines and circles in PS, I would like to draw it as vector graphics so it can be scaled if needed. Or some other graphic program if PS is not the right one.

Found some stretching template so I might now how to deform the circles for each part of car but don't know how to draw vectors.
Would be nice to have groups of the dots for each part of car, hope that's possible as layers are in bitmap graphics.

Also if it would be possible to generate the dots and use masks to show them only on the right places, please share how to do that.

I got tons of pictures from all angles except top and bottom, so if somebody has some really good ones please share too.

I know it's probably quite stupid question for people who use PS a lot than please redirect me to some tutorial, guide or something on the net.

Thanks

Warning - I guess they did something that is not good/clever to do but it wasn't that bad to give them penalty

For example driving like pig on track, for no obvious reason doing couple of S on straight just for fun, though I'm not sure about this one as now I remember it's normal in F1 to warm up tires like that on straights.

Basically something that is not punishable now but will be if done again.

I could think of cutting a corner too much ==> warning ==> still cutting too much ==> DT for example.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Thanks

But AFAIK Deep Drive Racing was supposed to be given 32 points for their 8th place at round 5, not 30.

There is more than that, everybody in the tracker under #00 Adenoids Racing has 1 position less points. And this also moves Smoking team up to 10th place, mpower down to 11th
There can't be 3 teams with the same points in one round obviously, only 2 due to pole-position.
The results points of teams which finished after #00 are moved by 1 position. Because #00 received points also.
Also as was noted Deep Drive should have 32pts.
Or am I wrong?

Thread name: 5 of 7

Little upgrade of my results.
Graph added, Lublin is wrong, I know, it doesn't substract just puts it under 0.

3rd to 11th place only 20pts difference

Finally a decent track

I don't know about SO I wasn't driving but on some tracks it's yellow all the time on the screen, there is so much cars and somebody cuts corner on grass and it shows yellow for a while, but honestly everybody ignores them you would just get crashed or overtaken if you slow down in the heat of race, on starts, restarts, etc.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Thanks
I'd just like to point out that The Xcite Inferno has been renamed to Team Inferno, but that's a detail

Renamed, why did you change your name anyway?

Quote from dekojester :

Deko's life schedule for work ... r the next 10 or so weeks
I'll find somewhere in there to do everything I need to do for everything.

So it's like wake up insanely soon, work?, school, sleep again, ...
My schedule:
wake up around 8am, master thesis, eat, master thesis, eat, master eat, eat thesis, eat master, ... fall asleep

In comparison my modest schedule looks quite nice

Quote from CSF :

I find it amazing that certain people can't wait more than 3 days for things to get done.

No I certainly can but bavorak wanted to know he even figured out our position himself. But I sometimes need to switch to something else than just reading "scientific bullshit" and do some easy work

Yes the table have the looks like the official so it's easier to maintain, also the table is much bigger in excel but only those more important data are shown on the web.

Quote from CSF :

By releasing your own points that will look nothing like what the points will really look like as there is some penalties to hand out?

I didn't find any penalties? Is that even possible? No SC in the race I've heard is that correct?
The table is always there it just wasn't updated. In last round I had to go through the penalties and add them also to the table, but usually the penalties are starting grid position penalties for next round, anyway the results may be a little off for sure.

Quote from reason0809 :

yeah, need those results to finaly finish the review

Here you go
Unofficial Results

Then please search first if you're new, and post to correct part of forum, DDS and file formats are easy learn to use computer and PS first.
PS exports to DDS itself or use Nvidia tools, uncle google is your friend.

delete this Thread

Round 5 results? Or should I make my own again?

was looking at this too after race, it seems like a lag flip to me, cutting left edge, than boom flip for no obvious reason, like the car would be going more to the left and hit the tyres
should have wait to spectate, even though it's not advisable on public server, here it is a must, cars just don't disappear from track, if there is a huge crash after that, we get a red/black what ever flag, restart etc. that's just how it goes

Quote from Scawen :

Hello Programmers.

It's not possible to assign ctrl_f1 - ctrl_f12 to a keyboard key!
Impossible to use scripts with keys, only gamepad/wheel buttons work.

Please FIX.
/key D ctrl_f12

autoexec : line 6 - Unknown key function

Being able to remap keys to keys and key combinations, and mouse buttons to keys and key combinations would be awesome.
Coz mouse drivers can't adjust a thing in F11 and F12 menus without having the keyboard remaped.

I got that on mouse but luckily enough that mouse software crap stops working sometimes, happened right before last GTAL Round, no response what so ever when the race started...

/key D ctrl_f12
doesn't work :/ /button works, WHY?
