That's what STCC's handy little reporting thingy is for, Grunt : http://licence.ukct.net/report.asp

Quote from faster111 :ok i think i worked it out 2 years for each s2 ect so if s2 is getting 2 years old then mm i think it be in the next two years will s3 come out so mm around 2009 i think we will see more s3.

I'm afraid it doesn't work this way, though. We don't (and probably not even the devs) know what will be in S3 and how hard it will be to implement whatever they have in mind. You never know what problems you might run in to ...

Quote from duke_toaster :The only thing S3 is likely to have is weather and day/night, other than that, it's we'll see.

I'd like to second what ajp wrote, just for emphasis: Not a good idea to post something like this as if it was ever even a confirmed goal by the devs. Afaik, they've never said anything about it.

Quote from danowat :Right, this is going to happen, we (Triple Seven Racing) will host track guides for all track combinations .

Just need to knuckle down and write the buggers

Great project! I can relate to pretty much everything you write about Fe green (even the "corner of hate" is the exact same for me ).

Quote from evilgeek :is BST=GMT? i'm timezone impaired here in the far west, but i'll be there if i can.

BST is British Summer Time (or Bering Summer Time, but I doubt that's meant here ) and thus it should be UTC/GMT+1.

Quote from thisnameistaken :I don't mind taking out the FO8 now and then, but I find the longer Aston configs a bit dull. North is nice because it cuts out a lot of the dull full-throttle sections and the gay chicane onto the main straight, but National/Historic/GP just bore me to death.

Hm, I'm finding historic reverse rather nice in the FO8. Several interesting sections with a great variety of turns, imho. But maybe I just feel that way because I'm really not used to driving the FO8, yet. I haven't been driving it online at all, I think -- yes, a glimpse at my laps chart confirms: 1 lap at BL. That's it.

Well, I'll try to be on your server tonight, gentlefoot. Can't promise anything, though, as I have to see what the missus says .

Well, with the OLFSL race coming up I'll be racing the FO8 on As historic reverse as much as possible (which will probably not be much seeing that I don't have time, but I'll try).

Quote :09. Is this a mod of NASCAR Racing: 2003 Season?
No. We used the NR2003 code as a starting point, taking advantage of its greatest strengths, such as the net code, which allows full fields of drivers to race online in real time, and the replay system, which enables drivers to review their on-track performance. But every major section of the code has substantially improved for the iRacing.com simulation, and large portions are all new.

Whatever that means. Personally, I think iracing is very promising. Not only because of Kaemmer, but also because of John Henry, principal owner of the Boston Red Sox (=money. A lot of it).

Guess it's time to post this again then: Best RAC GTR ever made.

If we should ever get a 4th GTR I would prefer a GTR version of the Raceabout, as we have no mid-engined GTR.

And then there's still the option of getting a WRC-like version of the RB4 along with the Rallye-Pack, of course (which I don't believe will come before S3, if ever. But you never know ).

Please, jamesxing and tristancliffe, could you have your discussion where it belongs? In private? Or would you guys be missing the audience?

It was great fun, nonetheless. Rather clean and tight racing .

Quote from matze54564 :It is maybe true that the grip while drifting is a little bit to high. The grip in uneven tracks is maybe also a bit to high. So i agree what u say´d. But i don´t agree with everything what Richard say´d and i don´t like hes manner to offer hes opinion.

I've been following this thread closely, and honestly, matze, you're the only one whose manners are severely lacking. Richard might have some opinions many people around here don't agree with (which is to be expected), but he's certainly been voicing them in a very civilized manner.

Quote from Yisc[NL] :I don't have a replay in my LFS-folder. Strange, I closed LFS right after the incident.

The temp-replays are only stored as long as you don't close LFS (it has been suggested to change it, but apparantly it hasn't been done, yet).

Quote from deggis :Wasn't the turbo sound already "killed" during patch V test versions?

Maybe letting to set higher values (than 2.0 which is max currently) for turbo volume in the sound editor would be easy way to fix this... or at least a workaround.

You could always turn up the turbo volume all the way and reduce the turbo muffling (or whatever it's called), couldn't you? Or is it still not loud enough then?

How do I find out about my lap/yellows ratio on the stcc servers?

Quote from Stang70Fastback :As for the Ago of Mythology, worked fine until I used the AA setting for the graphics card.

Maybe a driver related problem?

Quote from mrodgers :It is my feeling that it is totally bogus to expect someone to move over at all under the blue flag. The faster driver should make a pass just as he would passing anyone else on the track. All the guy recieving the blue flag is responsible for is allowing the pass to go easily and smoothly, ie, lifting a bit to let him by or staying outside and giving the apex to the lead car.

Yes, that's the way I see it, too. Worded my first post wrongly. Nobody should be *expected* to move over under blue flag. It can be a nice move under certain circumstances, though (like, when the blue flagged driver is not racing for positions and does it early enough to not cause any misunderstanding).

Nothing wrong with enforcing blue-flag-rule strictly, but the way General Lee describes it (I didn't see the replay), it sounds like an overly strict (=wrong) enforcement of the rule. It's total bogus to expect someone to move over the instant the blue flag message comes up. And no experienced driver should expect anyone to give room in a chicane. Just my 2c, of course.

Actually, I'm getting some flickering no matter what I set the mip bias to. Higher (0) is supposed to be better than lower (-4), though. But I really don't see much of a differnce, tbh. Shadows flicker a lot sometimes and so do signposts etc. Must be the gfx card, I guess (7600 GT).

Quote from Kalev EST :Now I´m no expert but isn´t the standard TV framerate only about 25 frames per second? And the human eye sees it as a smooth motion...

That's a popular belief and it comes from the fact that the human eye does perceive everything above ca. 25 fps as one fluid motion. However, that doesn't mean that it can't detect more than 25 fps (if one really notices a difference betwenn, say 100 fps and 13k fps, I don't know, but I doubt it).

Probably 50 at max, but I can't really remember. I drove quite a few miles offline in S1, though before I finally jumped online (I was too scared to suck and mess up other people's race :tilt.

Didn't know about the endurance nights before last night (and won't be there next saturday), but I'd say keep it! I enjoy a little longer races, but pits are a must imho. Also, it would be nice to know at what time exactly the first endurance starts, so you could either try to be there or at least somewhat calculate when the next will start.

Quote from Becky Rose :What I would like to do is add a button that requests the licence notes to be emailed to your LFS World desktop messaging system, but atm I have not had time to research how to do that, so currently the only way to get your licence notes is to message me privately for them.

Being able to request ones own license notes is all good, I guess, but I doubt it will achieve what Dru was pointing out. Thing is, if I -- or any other responsible racer (yes, I am, I swear ) -- do something stupid, I know it the instance I do it. I might request my license notes in order to find out if I was reported, but I'll try to not let that happen again regardless of any notes. The not so responsible racer, however, will probably not request his license notes if he did something stupid (cause else, he'd be a responsible racer) and therefore will never know that he screwed up, unless he's presented his notes without requesting them.

Uh, long and winding explanation of a rather simple thought, it seems.

Well, anyway, I'll wait what you have in the pipeline, Becky.
