GT 730 sounds crappy beside a monster-gpu, like you wear a Ferrari car with Moskwitch tyres

I would buy cheaper CPU, 16GB ram memory and better video card, for example 60 or 70 series (i mean 960 or 970, or 1060/1070, that your GTX-730 is 30-series card -> low budjet card, not for gaming).

Then your SSD, that 250GB will not hold many games, I have that, and I cant install all sims I want because out of disk space. Take 500GB SSD. (or you can later add another 250GB and make additional installation folders in Steam...)

I would buy at least 550-600w power supply

and about costs - I would buy some items second hand, for example cpu and ram

How would it sound if licensed user can connect to demo server after 15 connections are full? Let say demo server could hold 15 demo users but it can hold in addition 10 more licensed users.

Race could be as it is now, max 12 cars on track. Just more spectator places for licensed users <3 It would be really useful during long nights

Quote from Huskii :

rulechange. car can be changed cross round.

are you sure? First people sign up, then rule change? Why?

Kyoto Oval nothing compared to this

wow that looks like an UFO has landed on LFS world

Razor ispired me to refersh my avatar, with a photo of Alina probably in 2028

...or even driving a car with keyboard at all.

Case closed. I want more races at RO, with or without button clutch, keyboard, mouse, pads, auto gears, handbrakes, free view, but...no speed hacks

please more races in Rockingham this year

Nova, I can't believe you thought Mikke is serious with that.

Anyway there is a looooong conversation about button clutch here.

Personally my opinion about button clutch is: MORE EVENTS AT ROCKINGHAM

I published my wish in the subject. Does this need more explanations?


edit: thread title changed, was : "Year 2018, give me more league races on Rockingham"

Welcome Nicoule! Keep in mind, that you can buy the full stuff also also in pieces - first buy S1, then S2, and then if you still hungry for smthing more, buy S3. It will not cost you more.

Generally S2 contains already 90% of the content. Just to give you a tip.

Just be happy as long as your door lock system don't get frozen so that you are not able to close them at all Another funny thing is when handbrake gets frozen when its ON. I remember once driving an FWD car with handbrake frozen, didnt realize it until some minutes when I was wondering why the hell the back of the car slides like a hell (road sufrace was really slippery, so didnt affect my speed, but steering )

Thanks for the event!

I was very close to not join this race, because I had so little experience on that combo, and during practice I noticed considerable struggling in my driving. I was balancing wich lesson I need more, to race with XFG without burning clutch and destroying suspensions, or to handle the XRG without causing a mess on the track and spinning every lap somewhere. I choosed XRG, wishing for good learnings and challenges. After all, was happy I joined even I missed the possibility to live-spectate a great event. I think I improved my pb more than 10 times during race and finally ended up with low 1.11 pb wich I couldn't even think before race.

Before race I suggested we would remove the mandatory pitstop, and I felt nobody understood suggestion. As this track was very hard for XFG suspensions, it would have been really interesting to see how many of us will be able to do the race without fixing his car. This is in my opinon also one kind of skill. With mandatory pitsop we give more value for entertainment and less value for race tactics. I don't know is this the direction organizers want keep on, imo its bit arcadish way to see racing. Nevermind, I will not insist about this anymore, I think I was able to express everything I had on my heart on this topic, and that's the most important

As a conclusion of my race experience, the lesson was more than I expected. The later half of the race was really enjoyable when my pace was more constant. Even my blue flag periods went quite well, I think, or if didn't please let me know about it. Sorry for Storm who spinned after touching the tail of my pink whale (was not blue flag situation )

Big congratz to Dzidoris, amazing work and nice move to upload your setup to lfs.net before the quali (actually I tested it for one lap and I felt impossible to drive it ). Congratz to all who finished, was amazing to watch replay. So many good fights, and I am also amazed how some racers are able to maintain pace without rear suspensions. Im just too curious not to think, how it would have been continued if the race were an endurance of let's say 100 laps.

Okay, here the vids. Was too difficult to catch all good fights. Amazing that the tight grid survived considerably well T1! That tells something about the professionality level in the league. Big respect for LFS racing community.

First vid is full race using LFS Director.
Second vid, just for comparison, first laps shooted with LFS static cameras.




ps. sorry for long post

I like the psychological point of view of Unknownmaster but guys IS THIS A RACE FORUM OR JUST PING PONG???

Please stop talking about my girlfriend

This blue flag behaviour is interesting question and I see it specially problematic on LFS rallycross tracks. Watched the replay and looked like just.yeman just neutrally raced his own race under blue flag without changing his lines in favour of lapping cars.

On some large tracks that could be even ok (still maybe bit selfish), but on that rallycross track caused significant frustration for lapping cars. On such track I would excpect more flexibility from the driver under blue flag (that could be called also common sense combined with a touch of respect), otherwise it ruins too much the race of the lapping cars.

Quote from Spiiiky :

now it's wrong again, it's BL3 while it should be BL3R. don't get me wrong, I would choose BL3 over REV anytime

just drive it wrong way mate

This is of course a conspiracy, since we don't want Spiky practice more that combo

Driver reactions in the end (Shouldn't laugh, Im still slower than her in RaceRoom hot lap competition at Silverstone ....edit: said that - had to practice more, beated her time with 0.016sec with BMW 635 CSi)

okay that was just warm-up for laughing, then watch this one (same lady on the wheel )

This is useful feature in server mode, but not so much in client mode I think

Quote from Eclipsed :

No idea why one needs so many binds

I think a very good reason is to have separate binds for race/drift/cruise for those who like them all, and why not also separate binds for France Pro Crash server

Quote from Bila_KHS :

It was awesome, specially when idea of this season was made in just one 5 min talk with Frass after one of the FOX Friday races.

Hah, very well done, this series has been more than welcome in LFS

Quote from o000o :

p.s. dunno why you are manually calculating the race length in laps, the simple command is: /hours 1

I agree. We discussed this after one race but that time Ade did not get the point of the suggestion. There is at least two good points:
1) The neverending asking for laps would be over
2) More challenge to race strategy - you cannot know how many laps there will be - the race pace will define it, and the neurotic calculation of fuel would get new perspectives.

I think there was an issue that if you put /hour=1 the race will be one hour plus one full lap? If I remember correct, that was a problem for Ade Nevermind, for me its ok to race given laps, and to have additional chat and fun debates of the lap count

I wish in the track selection of hotlapping mode by default no layout is selected. Now if you have saved layouts, there is by default the first layout in the list selected.

While you mostly (?) do hotlaps for uploading them in lfsworld, its nonsense to use layout - you can't then upload them in lfsworld. Its also frustrating to record a good hotlap, then get error message from lfsworld because you had layout loaded (and you didnt notice it while selecting track).

Thanks for the race!


(wanted to record whole race but recording cut at 30min - 2 last lap missing)
