Quote from ymeshulin :

I wonder when J. Katila stops crashing people. The guy seems to be either unable, or unwilling to see what's happening around him. He only sees what's in front, and almost every attempt to overtake him ends in a calamity. Happened to me on a few occasions.

Really, if I would be writing here every incident where my race was ruined by some other racer I would have no time to race

Quote from ymeshulin :

Now, for those who think he was right:

- Ardeee made a brash move on the inside...
- No he did not. He was a LOT faster, and since the track is predominantly made of 90-degree corners, that was a legitimate overtake attempt.

- J. Katila could not do anything...
- Rubbish. He knew Ardeee was coming (google: Rearview mirror), was much faster, and would go for an overtake. Rule #1 for any driver: "If you have a faster driver behind you, expect him to attempt an overtake".

- What could J. Katila do?
- Option 1: leave Ardeee room by taking a wider line though the corner. Option 2: crash him.
---------------------

You obviously haven't seen a replay of the race. You would know that Ardeee was driving behind with about same pace from lap 15 until the incident. Before the collision I was clearly ahead and have the right to choose line through a curve, thats normal racing rule. Of course I knew he was there but if you are ahead just one lap before finish you really not just give the position to your opponent. What kind of racing would that be, lame at least

Quote from ymeshulin :

If I were the admin of the server, I would issue J. Katila a last warning - one more accident like this, and this driver will be banned from future events on the server for a year.

But you are not and seems you are not much respecting admining of this server. I would even consider some actions towards you if were running this server, just because of the attitude and accusations you are expressing.

Voted to ban it.

It has been lately discussed around different racing series and more common opinion is to not allow usage of a button clutch. Main arguments being, it gives advantage against drivers using autoclutch and is unrealistic compared to real race cars.

Many events on 9397 racing host are with XFG and with it there is advantage also in clutch heating and wearing when autoclutch users try to change gears with minimal lifting while button clutch users can change gears with full throttle. Also UF1, FBM, RB4, MRT, LX4, LX6, UFR and FZR are cars which would have this extra advantage when using button clutch.

Also if you are a keypad user, button clutch is a nogo.

Did this change break the window moving with mouse on PC ?

At least I cannot now move the opened windows boxes with mouse like earlier by just clicking the upper gray (not active)/blueish(active) bar and dragging from it somewhere else. Tried with chrome and firefox.

Is there now some new or other method to move different windows around with mouse?

Quote from sinbad :

Did anyone receive a Patch Release email?

Yes,
I think every license holder will receive one if the email address defined in ones profile is valid
and you have chosen to receive news emails under your profiles personal details.

Attached the one I've received.

Hi,

Here a stats screenshots https://uploadir.com/u/odpd23bc

eferlan (Keisuke in game)

OMFG how people can be so stupid to show stats from couple of hundreds of laps and all pb's reached with a speed hack

This is mother of stupidity

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :

This thread went wrong lulz

Not really.

It's in off topic section so the topic discussed can change from off topic to extreme off topic, right

Quote from MicroSpecV :

2 seconds faster? Are you sure it wasn't tweaked? The sectors look hella suspicious..

I wouldn't suspect any tweaks or similar.
Matti (suzuki94) is fast guy, especially with GTR's, seems to be the case also with BF1.

Haven't tried this layout but generally layouts are more tricky than normal race tracks and big differencies in lap times are more than common, especially if you manage to create top set for the combo.

possibly the weirdest music I have ever heard!

except this...

Actually ur example is not so weird if you think about asian music like bollywood style of music and dancing from India.

I have lived 2 years in India and whenever you turn TV on you see this kind of stuff coming out

like this:

Its bit funny culture when you are looking from western world towards it, not merely how they are speaking english

I'm not usually doing protests but this time end result was bad and the crash would have been avoidable.

Racer: [WCL] J.A.Katila
Protested racer: EZKO

Lap 3, time ~1.35.20.

Description of incident: I was driving towards second last turn and behind me was driving EZKO. I was clearly ahead and was going forward using most optimal driving line towards next turn when EZKO collided and spun me to fence and sand causing damage and lost of many positions. This would have been avoided by short lifting just before the collision. Also there were no apologies during or after the race.

I think we lost 1 more lap than most of the teams. And I don't mean the penalty lap which was caused by a collision with dreamboy.
Also I think LLm lost one lap more.

Insim seems to be down ones again

Realism is on level of 10 years old arcade car GAME

LFSW name: jkat
In-game name: [WCL]J.A.Katila
Full team name: World Class Lions
Nation: Finland

Delete all lfs related files which you now use.

Then download lfs again from lfs.net and install it again.

Pls Rony
The guy has only demo.

For the problems, just try fresh new install of lfs.

Quote from Gutholz :

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?

Advertising was not the strongest point of organising group. I guess it was just accidently noticed by me and Joni.
What comes to actual series it was the whole series i.e all races before final one which were run remotely. So the final race was the only one physically raced in promoters premises using those cockpits which can be seen in stream.

Sorry about typos. Driving on A7 and typing in a Restplatz with a small tablet

Quote from felplacerad :

Nice! (Race starts at 1:02:35).

Question: Was the game hosted on a remote server rather than on a LAN? And/or is that really 6 PPS? The car positions are not updated very smoothly (see Joni pass through the chicane here, for example).

I don't know where it is physically located but it is normal remote host in the sense it can be found in the server list under Master server. Commentators were saying there was network connection problems during the qualification and I guess they could not remove the problems totally for the race.

Hello dear lfs'ers,

this post is not only about lfs in the news but also a thank you for the development team that made this achievement possible.

This week Tuesday there was Final race of Finnish National Championship Series 2016 arranged by IeMA, International eMOTORSPORT Association (http://www.iema.fi/index.php?language_id=1 as live race in the promoters (http://www.circuit.fi/index.php?language_id=1) premises in Helsinki for the 10 finalist of the series. The series was run using lfs as race simulation platform and this is also promoted both in IeMA and promoter web sites.
Here is link to the actual race live stream which includes also qualifying session (around 30 minutes) followed by the actual race (45 minutes+1 lap) using XR GTR on South City Long Reverse track with wind option set to 3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL0lhJK3kCo).
Unfortunately the commentary is in finnish so it might be little difficult to follow if not a Finn. Maybe next year there will be some race series with english commentary as there is plans to expand activities to international level also.

The whole podium was populated by experienced lfs'ers, winner Joni Katila (lfs account jsrk), 2nd Antti Terho (lfs account speedsenna) and 3rd Toni Lähteenmäki (lfs account FL4SH-) which shows that long experience of racing within lfs really helps to achieve something like this.

The whole podium got as reward of investing to lfs and to this race series their money back multiple times.
Therefore really big thanks to lfs development team Scawen, Eric and Victor to make this possible.
I hope this gives some extra motivation to further work on lfs.

I don't know if there is any similar activities in any other country around the globe but now Finland has showed one way how lfs or eMotorsport could be brought into Motorsports family in National level. Of course as first time to organize this kind of race series its a lot of learning but I believe same applies whatever new Motorsport class is kicked off first time.

I would also hope that similar activities could be kicked off in other countries and continents. at least now we know it is possible. And I fully believe Scawen and the team would give full support whereever similar activities would take place.

Joyfull Xmas and action packed New Year 2017 for all
Let's hope will evolve to next level during next year and we can enjoy it many years to come

Cheers,
Jari Katila (lfs account jkat)

"since the last time he explained us what's his plan"

Would you be able to post a link to that? I'm interested in reading it

Just read Scawen's posts in this thread from September time and you'll be aware of where he is focusing on atm.

I think my son needs bottle of Kossu

Quote from Eclipsed :

Oh,hi Ray! Nice to see a race where you weren't in gravel traps. Oh,right,you didn't race...

Quote from Bmxtwins :

Come race the next one in GT2, unless you're too scared of course. I'll be there.

I smell a battle coming up

Where can we place the bets ?

Quote from Webflat :

Dear Racers

International rev. / GTR only

Westhill or Rockingham ?

Will cutting of corners be allowed ?
Now seems that on every possible places ppl are cutting over the grass.

Also there is no speed limit in pit so it is possible to drive through pit
for getting advantage to 1st turn. Will that be allowed in qual and race ?

Got my late order (Thursday 29th) which was informed to being sent on 30th of Sep, today. It was already yesterday here (in South Germany) but I was not at home to receive it. Today it was given to a neighbor

So now we have about dozen shirts to be shared between me and my son. Really happy about fast delivery and quality content with some gift post cards included
Pity that pique shirts were not anymore available at my size when placing the order

From World Class Lions I can confirm at least 1 car to participate.

What comes to track choosing, I would not go for Rockingham as it would narrow the participants only to S3 license holders.
I would go for some open config environment to keep it more interesting but still S2 license holders can race.
