you seem to have missed the point, your layout makes it neccisary to add to the facility, mine does not, and Belain's require very little new asphalt

I like it

No, your point wasn't missed. You just fail to notice other points being made.

Let me sum myself up for those joining the thread late.

I Am
1)for the creation of new track facilities
2)for the creation of new configurations at existing facilities
3)not fond of westhill and it's lack of options
4)choosing to counterpoint Danowat's point with his statistics: Over half a million laps looks an awfully lot like plenty of people drive them concidering the relatively short time they have been out (AS GT and AS GP are nearly identical, if you wanna moan about something moan about that)

And in my oppinion options are good for the community, especially in the case of leagues, which thrive on variety.

While a new track facility would be nice, theres nothing wrong with new configurations at facilities we already have.

as club and cadet appeal very nicely to the player with a short attention span, dont they?

In any case, why are you so vehemently opposed? If it gets added what harm does it do to the sim? If anything it offers more options to the players.

funny, i recall my team having done a 4 and 6 hour endurance race on north and GT respectively with Masters Of Endurance. And in fact the same courses were used in SimFIA F1.

different people, different tastes. some sections were used on my layout that are a little underused, or hadnt been used in that combination before, to effectively create new corners that didnt occur on any other configuration

Um, my suggestion in no way contradicts the addition of new facilities, but advocates using the ones that we do have already to thier fullest.

I'm all for the addition of new facilities. (I am however for getting rid of west hill as a stand alone course and just slapping it in as an extension of an existing course. As an example ive toyed with the idea of planting it as another outlying section of KY GP, allowing for an almost nordeshleife length course configuration)

with a couple little changes here and there the facilities we have could be updated to have more layout possibilites, a small change at the first turn of the KY GP course could add a club layout to the already great facility we have been provided.

so yeah, I'm both for adding new facilities and renovating the ones we have. (And not fond of west hill in its current state, though a club version might help that)

Look at the attatchment, enough said

huge difference between a gnome rotary and a wankel rotary. the only reason a Gnome Rotary is useful in planes is because you just mount the damn prop straight to the engine.

In cars you will not find a single Gnome rotary engine, (unless some crazy nutter did it for the hell of it)

I
m for it be then you end up possibly going to a server with no lable for which course it is running

To be honest... the old FXO looks kinda like it might have fit nicely into the LRF class as a homulogation model for the GTR version.

I wouldnt mind having it in there

Dual exhaust really doesnt do anything for rotary engines anyway other than make them quieter. Only having the 2 exhaust ports to vent from means one pipe is enough, and well for an engine so dependant on freeflowing intake and exhaust theres certainly no harm in dual exhausting one.

short version of a very long conversation about a project RX7 i was building.... too bad the money ran out

2 requests for features

a fading "trail" for the G-Ball
a peak needle on the drift angle guage, so i can see what my angle was AFTER the drift and i'm not going to run into anything

changing billboards, fine with me, we do this on our own occasionalyl for specific events and the like.

dynamicly updated? well, ONLY with no invasive software.

Speaking of updates... Anyone care to help with doing a texture pack of aston, for a "festival of speed" a few friends and i are going to try to run

lol, someone else knows what a stirling engine is

Quote from pasibrzuch :

Are there any rotary engines with more cyl. then inline 2?

you've made a serious faux pa by using the term "cylinders" in conjunction with "rotary"

they dont have cylinders at all

agreed, I think some of the teams in the Speed World GT challenge use a different type of thermometer, but the ideas the same.

Go out and punish a set of tires, take temps, adjust, repeat till tires are nice and happy

Actually takingf the temps of sections of the tire is quite easy. Just point your pyrometer at the desired part of the tyre

Quote from Greboth :

Its been suggested before afaik but you would have to re rubber the track every race which would be pointless in a pick up and play 5 lap race but in leagues then it would be good. Look at masters of endurance 24 hours race has just gone and it would be a factor in that race.
+1 for me but no idea how it could be implemented.

Youve just agreed with my point. But think of it like this as well: A course rubbers not only during the race, but also during the practices and qualification sessions prior to it.

Lacking the stuff to edit the DDS myself... could someone spit out a dds of the ball for me with negative colors? I tried to edit the INI but it just gave me a black ball with yellow rim, and i want a yellow ball with white rim

nevermind, i got it

damn stop spamming on this thread

I'm waiting for someone to post some new BF1 sounds and instead I'm reading posts about elder people and their PCs

It seems that you managed to f** up your LFS installation after all.

You better download a fresh new one with patch V integrated and stop worrying about updates anymore cause Scawen has an auto update feature now

a little something for the Formula Mazda fans. This is not an attempt to make a car that sounds "cool", it is an attempt by a mazda rotary fan to recreate the sound of a highly tuned rotary engine.

agreed

Quote from funnybone2 :

isnt that the mrt5? illepall

The MRT5 is a Formula SAE car, not a kart. *pimpslap*

its like comparing a mule and a horse. One may remind you of the other but a mule still isnt a horse

Quote from apo3d :

i noticed that from inside a rb4 with high setup you cannot see the arrows from layout1. so i suggested layout2 for every car. how come you understood it's just for rb4 , i have no idea .

I never understood anything of the sort. However i do take offense to words put in my mouth. I tried a placement like your 'layout1" when i made my own screenshot thanks very much. I however elected to place it further out where it would be more visible, and used a curved arrow to reduce the possibility of mistaking the direction. A brain does tick inside this skull of mine.

Quote from apo3d :

if it were up to me, i'd use layout1. if you select rb4 then just hit 'v' to get the wheels only view so you can see the arrows, and then while driving out of the pits hit 'v' a couple more times to get to your normal view-point. the rb4 is the only car from which you cannot see the arrows from layout 1, as it has quite a tall intake vent on the hood (or whatever it's called).

I abhor the wheels only view. And you shouldnt have to change your view for a measure like this to work, its an inconvenience. I appreciate your effort though

Man, unless the conditions were saved before every race it would be pointless. You'd have to re-rubber the track every time, or settle for a half assed "Pre-Rubbered" surface
