Hey, not sure if this has been reported, but probably some bug in the script (d'oh), almost every time a car loads in, something pops up along the lines of :

"Script 'xxx' cannot be run from a script".
If it's a paddle shift car, it says "paddle". If it's H pattern, it says 'road'. Doesn't affect gameplay.

There's also a yellow text, when opening mod list

Unless our beloved @Jonathan.Provost is being transferred out from stewarding duties... Taped Shut

And also, filesize upload needs to be increased, as layout .lyt files now exceed 20kb. Cheers!

Back for this special time! - Mid Town Ring Remaster 2023

Mid-Town Ring, a fan favourite since 2020 and played host to many of a great race over the past few years. Now in 2023, here lies the remastered track with a new S-section in Sector 1, and a reprofiled Blackwood Gate corner, now incorporated with the new infield section. The Classic sector 2 still remains.




Mid-Town Ring Remastered - 2023



2023 Remaster




A very fast-flowing and exciting track, with plenty of overtaking opportunities. Keeping within touching distance is crucial if you wish to blow past down the back straight!
It may only have 11 turns, but it certainly does not disappoint. Strap a FBM and a pair of heavy balls and you have yourself one hell of a race.

Glendale Street Circuit Australia






The time has come for this series to end, and so with it my 8 years here on LFS as I pursue conscription full-time now. Thank you everyone for the journey and for having a go at my creations just as I see them fit to be raced on my hundreds (of which I could never have thought would happen). NRGCL ends with 27 editions of layouts, some good, some bad, but all of which can be improved on. Don't let the editor cast doubt, it is capable of brilliant things as long as you have the mind to create Big grin

I leave behind one last gift to the community, Glendale. A V8 Supercars inspired circuit taking cues from many historical tracks from the land down under, a super driver's track making most use of LA1x's open space to instill some damn good flow into the 2 min lap time. A treat in the FXO Supercar, have a go at taming this rewarding street course.

Have fun all, and have a jolly, Merry Christmas.

Perhaps for each event listing, if the event is passworded, there can be a sentence saying "Read forum for attending" or something like that? Or "Event is Private - read forum for details"

Quote from Eclipsed :Yesterday I realized there is a downside of the new events list. In RTFR I always set server password (always same) so it's not visited by random populated server jumpers,who have no idea what's happening in the server - voting for start,asking to unlock other cars or change track,sometimes behave like #$%&. They had no clue it's an organized event.
Server password is always easy to find and it's posted together with basic information as insurance that people should know where they join. Since password was also posted in leagues section,it was automatically added on join button of events list - therefor anyone could join the server with single click,which means that again people can join without having read at least some basic information - unexperienced user would even not understand the idea of an event.
So I removed password from leagues section and added link to forum section explaining that info and password can be found there.

I'm telling this to point out the possible problems with new events list (besides in post above mentioned possible misuse) and hope to start some brainstorming how to improve this.

Been out of LFS for 2 months just enjoying what life has outside Sim Racing. Have to say I now see why people might not want to attend leagues in the long run - consistency and results...

If I was not capable of reaching points, and had a busy schedule, there would be little incentive for me to continue racing. At least, that's the train of thought I have. There are much more things out there to do.

I believe the way forward is reliable stewarding, regular broadcasts for PR, interesting combos (to circumvent the lack of tracks at the mo)... and a (consistent) set of ballast to bring the field closer together.

That being said, ballast is a hot topic on its own so we have to find other ways to retain the participant rate. Hope someone else shares my point or is able to shed an alternate perspective.

Also with that being said above, Layout Racing League is heading into its 4th season. The first races always had close to 30 racers, but we've been able to maintain close to 20-ish throughout the season. I'm hoping that stays the same this year... New tracks, Indy events and classic combos from Season 1 remain, I really hope LRL S4 can hold its own this year. Props to Jp and Jp2 for sticking with it Smile
Urgent mod request - due early April 2022

Ahoy modders...

Is anyone so able to make a 2022 Indycar carmod? Deadline will be by early April. Will also accept body-only mod over the existing FO8 chassis and engine, and can be with or without aero screen. Mod quality will not be judged upon harshly, as long as the looks are decent and it doesn't bug out (i.e spaz out or shapeshift when impacted).

Unfortunately there will not be a monetary incentive, but your name and effort will be mentioned during the event of which the car will be used in.

Quote from michal 1279 :I'm not Scawen but I'm aware of the effect you mentioned - the slipstream effect has infinite height, so vehicles above each other do affect the aero of each other. You can achieve some incredible speeds this way, as cars do "steal" the slipstream from each other and keep boosting together. I once went 700 kmph with BF1 using this technique.

Eh, unlimited height? Is this the same as if you drove above each other with one car inverted on a wall ceiling?

HOW TO FLY THE BISMARK :
MicroSpecV
S3 licensed
Just under 3 hours before the Bismark "flying academy" starts! Buckle in! Tutorial on flight below !





The Bismark requires a long distance set up to traverse the far end airports. To steer using front rudder, input direction is reversed. Hence, to bank the plane to the left, you have to steer right, and vice versa. Steering is sluggish and slow, so when you make an input, wait for the plane to respond.

When the plane leaves neutral level flight and starts to lose speed, it will propogate in the roller coaster manner. When that point is achieved, you are able to use differential throttle and brake to maintain pitch of the plane. Brakes will lower the nose, while throttle will raise the plane slowly (it will dive down first).

The world-record set (able to make end-to-end Wide Grid) is now available from the OP attachments.

Default set will only make it halfway, in the middle airport.
