Quote from simon1234 :I have no reason to lie yes I host the MRc server's but I race anywhere that has drivers these days.

Same prospect as Simon here.

We only voice out so your server can be better. We go to servers we think are patronisable and we normally have great times there.

Problem arises when server is run without requirement of any rules. There is a difference between ignorance and fun.
For instance, a crasher ploughed through the pack in Turn 1, and then pitted and rejoined. Admin present expressed little to no action, instead opting to wait and then talk to the crasher; whom at that point had departed. Followup action was to "wait for him to return and then talk to him".
And due to the nature of the server having more newcomers, no vote was started, hence responsibility should fall to the limad on duty.

An admins duty in any team or server, no matter type, should always put player comfort and server cleaniness as top priority.. If not, this will soon turn into France Pro Crash fpc..

Part of hosting or even administrating demo servers is definitely to encourage new users to race and to remain in the community pool of LFS. However, a line has to be drawn between extreme leniency and strictness, of which your current protocol is slightly towards the lapsed side, resulting in... unfavourable race situations.

I'm sure Simon will agree with certain points here whether they are harsh or not, but we definitely hope to see better racing conditions on ALM so we can all have fun.
I apologise if my statement earlier was unclear or too blunt. Cheers.

1:50 for bug and then repeat few seconds later. Is easily repeatable bug once you get timing right. @Immudia @Scawen
Any fix for this? Is a definite bug in multiplayer that can ruin close races if someone were to change tires in 0 seconds...

Ninja Warrior Intermediate Course 1, BL1 LIVE FOR SPEED




NOTE : Course aesthetics have improved since above video. Return stage routes have been widened, and stages color coded..


Ever wanted to test your precision driving and patience? Wait no further!


I bring to you a two-part Ninja Warrior/banzuke influenced obstacle course, dug up from the archives of 2016! Few have conquered this course and fewer have done it in a fast time. Will you be the king of the course?

First ever competitive small-scale obstacle course I've made that will take more patience than most others! Carefully constructed to be neat, whilst being fully doable and isn't made of all-armco that will wreck your FFB wheel.

Put your slow precision driving skill to the test in this 4 stage course with your friends or simply take a spin and attempt to finish the run in quickest time possible. Upload your attempts if you wish! Recommended vehicle is XRG.

Each stage has a "return-to-stage route" to the stage start just like the real Ninja stages. You do not have to restart the entire course if you fall off once.

Have fun, and be sure to stay... calm!



Recommended vehicles
XRG
TBO
XFG
FZ5
Every other car!


Cheers


The reward is in the passion

Mhm. Even more obvious if you have a busted shock or suspension. Repair is literally instant and if you get the hang of the timing its very repeatable... not good Frown

Didn't know Insim counts it as no work. That's a bigger bug than I thought... so in leagues fastest pitstopper would be... 0 seconds? not 1.21? Tongue

A pretty nuts lap tour for Round 1 of VERL.

I'm a mouse driver, and FO8 is lethal to drive. No steering input feeling but pushing right to the limit and staying off deadly kerbs..
Looking forward to (hopefully) make Round 1!

Here's one crazy lap for you Smile

Any league in the Leagues subforum is great!

I'd recommend FM GTi, FM Fox Friday, Rony's Fun Race, Sports Racing Team Finland. All are great leagues at the moment!

Quote from simon1234 :I have not been on the server personally, but a team mate has he was threatened with ban for speedhacking LOL. Just to add I think he is still the wr holder for that combo.

That's awesome Omg omg omg

@Dank
There are drivers in S1-S3 that race, but just maybe different timezones, or different servers. Sometimes B2R's S2 server and [FM] and Rony's get filled too. Join one and wait a little, or just have fun!

I'll upload a replay soon hopefully.

Timing is key, you have to stop in the box and just as you ground to a halt the pit request has to go from Red (changing) to Yellow (Updated). Has to be synchronised right down to the milisecond.

Have recreated it a couple of times and its quite easy once you get the timing and initial idle speed right

ALM's server doesn't have racing rules as a requirement, and from what I see their limad team isn't the most competent in dealing with incidents quickly; which results in immature bans like that by trollers, Dankx. @simon Have you experienced it? Rofl

You should take it lightly however, these things happen. Unless an admin went on to perma-ban you, vote bans last only half a day and you should be unbanned soon. Just make sure to have enough drive time to know what to do into turn 1 and not bore the brunt of the banhammer.

There are many other servers hidden in server list like AA, MRc, B2R, FM GTi ectra that you can participate in. Don't feel sad! Smile

Any update? Is kind of unfair if someone uses or accidently does it in race.

Just had a few people try to do it, after a few times it becomes fine. Can now induce this bug at will... not good.

Quote from mbutcher :Grids are small these days, start at the back and battle through, that's more fun anyway.

Been doing that for the past two mlg races (SRT, this) I've been in and what you said is defo a +1.
Way better fun starting at the rear having many battles rather than stuck in no-mans land. That being said I didn't qualify for the Gt2 race (P23) and I spun in yesterday's LX race Tongue

@Tomi Starting at back is definitely exciting. No need to worry Ya right
No-second pitstop glitch, Potential race ruiner [FIXED]

Moved from gen Discussion
RE
Attention to Scawen or Eric who does coding,

When you attempt to pit on pit-box; if I open pit menu and change let's say Damage Repair to yes, so color goes from Yellow to Red and transitions back to yellow as setting is saved.

Meantime, if I stop on the pit-box while this pit setting is saved, I can get a free 0 second pit stop, no matter the severity of damage.
This occurs only if timing is right - your car has to stop, then there is a 0.3 second wait before GUi "PIT STOP :" comes up. If the pit-setting goes from Red to Yellow (saved) just as the GUi appears, pit-stop magically happens and you get repaired car.

Although requires almost inhuman timing, I have replicated this glitch twice in single player and again twice in online. Half of those were premeditated.

Please resolve this issue, it might be a race or battle breaker if it happens mid-race.

I find it weird you only brought this issue up after 3 years like Sinanju said. Why not earlier?

Even if your "friend" only recently failed to return the account to you - it cannot be, since you had this new demo account since 2017; and still only bothered to bring it up in 2018.

I don't think Scawen would entertain someone who lent his account and details to other people expecting them to return it back. Risks like that aren't supposed to be taken by anyone. Your account runs under your name and your info, and you should be the only one using it; the only one wholly accountable for actions taken within the game or externally regarding account sharing.

(Just a long message so others don't repeat the same mistake.)
tl;dr
your account your responsibility.

Read my above wishlist and you'll find out one of the wishes is to have cmyk color options for a "plain part". No more concrete, red barrier, white barrier. All achieved using texture list. And for plain part object it can be colored in tbe color wheel of cmyk.

Also needs ability to free select and group multiple objects (or an entire layout track) as one model and be able to import or export. @Lucaf would help, yes? Smile

In future we would like to see 1x1 free expandable objects via 8 way axis that allows us to manipulate this "object" into however shape we like. And then need a cmyk paint tool as well as texture and polygon editor.

In short:
Group select and group model
Import/export and/or ability to export to external program like 3ds or Sketchup ectra
Paint tool
Polygon/plane tool
Texture editor
Single object 8 point resziable
Gyro rotation for each object
Ability to select precision of movement, instead of current 1 stud to 1 stud maybe 1 stud, 0.5 and infinite.
Ability to alter part friction and reflection
Ability to mesh objects

Pretty nice wallpaper ish picture ratio already, but maybe some unexpected edit. Tongue
Rain would be cool, although I'm way too noob with Psd to do anything with edits. Ho.

Quote from mbutcher :I used a modified AS1 set too. Tongue

Seems the fastest, Pete! Maybe after hours of tweaking you can go faster. Wink

Anyway, to everyone still subscribed to this fancy pancy layout thread,

Thank you for your continuous support. It really honestly means a lot to see people enjoying my work and it's rewarding even though there isn't much league usage (yet). Gives me the drive to continue thinking and crafting each track with joy and I hope I can continue to do so!

Every track from start to current has had a facelift and/or grid expansion. All of these updated race-spec courses have been uploaded with "V3" in the name. Do have a look!

Personal Favourites? I'll have to say Monaco, Norisring, Mid-Town Ring.
And of course, the Lmaoring - named for the fun we had with our late racer in LCS-R, Marcus, who sadly passed on last year. In his honor, the updated inner stadium section now features the finalised Marcus Arena structure.




Thank you once again, and see you next time Wink

Because LFS AI are programmed to a single path and they rarely veer off that trajectory. Unlike games like Raceroom or rF where the AI are active (as in alive and able to calculate driving themselves) and "react" to situations, in LFS they just join the preset path.

So if you push them onto the grass their first reaction is to steer in the direction of the race path and then hammer the throttle to attempt to get on tarmac. Which doesn't work, of course.

Same reason why they don't move for blue flags or react to a stalled car fast enough.

AI in LFS is definitely passable in a race scenario but otherwise I'm sure they"re dude an update or two. Rofl

Amazing runs Niko, Pete. Didn't know what to expect running the BF1 around a banter course, but now I know. Smile

I won't be accountable for any broken wrists!
