Meaning no course defining barriers? The admin / host would then be able to add driving line, barriers, s/f line, sectors etc... to define a track? Maybe no manditory barriers...might be fun to try and discover the layout, you'd need a new message thought "you're off the track doofus!"

Quote :Sort of like drawing a track onto a topographical map?

Now that is a sweet idea. With the 3d terraforming programs that already exist AND the modding tools for other games (rF, NascarHEAT) I could see an enterprising programmer create an app to do just that. (The coding already exists, it might be as simple as a cut and paste job except for the little part of getting all the bits to talk to each other) I could further see exporting of the resultant map to multiple platforms. (rF, NH, LFS...)

Anyone looking for a uni project

Quote from PaulC2K :Incidently, im being told BB's wheel is no longer working, doesnt power up properly. He said something didnt feel right with it after wrestling the car back to the pit lane to repair the damage done by P. Jones's driving when he shunted us straight into a wall. It sounded like he was cutting down a forest over teamspeak when he was driving down the last back-straight. Hopefully whatever is up with it is fixable and possibly no more than a wire that got pulled and has since come off.

Are you implying that because of the hit BB's hardware is damaged?

Teammates could be able to access/set it at LFSW then, to not require a slot on the server?
Tire Temp Data

while i'm thinking about it, it would be nice to have the tire temp graphic/data from the previous laps displayed in the pit screens to aid in camber/pressure assessment

Blocked Conversation

I was just thinking that it would be nice that when I block the messages that it would be nice to have ALL the messages blocked, including new HL times & pit in/outs etc. not JUST the conversations.

I know.

All I'm getting at is that if a driver on my team is going to takeover my seat during a race AND that driver has personal preferences re:handling (that are changeable from the current f12 menu), then I don't want him to have to tell me what he likes and then I have to remember them AND find a safe time to set them for him sometime during my stint.

I think it would be better if he had access to my f12 menu and could log onto the server during my in-lap and set my f12 to his own personal preferences. Then the pit crew would take as much time as necessary during the handover stop to make the adjustments requested.

Yes, of course just like they do now.

The point is really so that the current driver dosen't have to do it. IRL the pit crew would already know what to change and driver1 dosen't have to do anything for driver2 except bring the car onto pit lane.

What i mean is for the guy who's gonna take over from you, if he wants a turn or two taken out of his wings, that needs to be set before you pit for his takeover.

So either he has to tell you & you gotta set it for him before you pit next OR he has to takeover, do a lap to make the f12 changes then pit again to have them adjusted.

BTW I was just thinking that it would be settable through world, but upon further consideration it might be easier to have a "teammate" box somewhere in the options screen where the lfsname of your approved takover-er could be entered.
Setup changes at driver switch

I'd like to see something at WORLD that would allow me to set a "team member" or alternate driver for my car. Then, when they connect to take over for me at an endurace event they can have acces to my f12 to set their own pit changes. The f12 commands would only be visible to them or course.

5min......I hate it when ppl restart

Quote from Doorman :In your setup.cfg set these timings.
/rstmin=240
/rstend=240
This at least prevents restarts until 4 minutes into the race. By which time most restart junkies have given up. This also stops voting for restarts while some poor bugger is trying to finish.

ya I actually set those to 300sec.
Disabling restarts
KSheppard
S2 licensed
Is there a way to disble restarts...if my server is running publicly, is there something can i set in the config. to disable the restart vote as soon as someone hits the vote button so that once a race/qual is started it MUST run out the time unless an admin. restarts it?

Dad just had a momo problem, these are the files you gotta lose, anything that looks like this:

C:\Program Files\Logitech\WingMan Software\LWPGames.dat

1. BACK 'EM UP FIRST!!
2. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR BUTTON PROGRAMMING...make a note of 'em.
3. LWP=LogitechWingmanProfile

true but will that delete the base file and force profiler to re-create a new one?
KSheppard
S2 licensed
dont know if this will help but...every now and then i get problems with the profiler and it helps to delete all the profile description files. i'm at work atm so i cant tell ya exactly where they live but I THINK -> c:/program files/logitech/profiler/games (or something similar to that) close the profiler before deleting and ALWAYS BACK 'EM UP FIRST! the default one should be recreated the next time you start the profiler...BE AWARE THAT THIS WILL MEAN YOU WILL NEED TO RE-MAP ALL THE PROGRAMMED KEYS.

The files you need to delete are pretty easy to find & identify but if in doubt DONT DO IT, wait till i get home & I'll post the exact files & their paths

seems to me a good candidate to "hit up" would be an internet sales company...alienware, dell, amd, wicked weasel or perhaps one of the 3d model companies...but I gotta think youd get better results if you actually approached them, they aint gonna come to you and say "hey man can I give you money"

what about striking up a deal with Scawen et al...after all the OLFSL is the LFS league right
