We all apreceate that amazing work you've done! Hmm .. maybe we can have a link at our site to it?

Of course, link away.

Your right, and its not a bug, it just isn't in there yet. Scawen said he will do the research and implement that later.

I've updated the calendar with new OLFSL season, as well as DRC and other dates. Looks like a busy second half of month.

Which means that you're not in demo mode then.

ok thats weird... how can you be in S1 or S2 mode if you're only demo racer, hm?

That message means the host is either in S1 or S2 mode, and not in demo mode. Your mates should pick a server that is in demo mode so you could race with them.

I think "/unban name" does not work in demo (at least it didn't work when I tried before), and that you'd have to use ban editor. If your host is older version you'd have to close the host first before you can edit the bans.ban file with the ban editor, and then start the host again for changes to take effect. Handling of bans.ban file has been greatly improved only in patch U, so you better upgrade your demo host.

There IS an option to block all messages: SHIFT and '-'.

Does this help http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=7100 ?

Well Honey its not a LFS problem. I just did what you said and of course, everything worked just as always. I assume you already told your firewall program that lfs.exe is updated and needs a permission to access the net. Thats the only thing we need to do with every new patch.

Here is the Serbian translation of Autocross Editor Instruction Manual.

And when coupled with a foggy pic of Blackwood, the new and exciting feature they've been experimenting with might be variable track temperatures and grip on and off the racing line? That racing groove is already in LFS from very beginning, its generated in real time. Only thing it needs is to affect grip and be synchronised with the host so that everyone gets the same track conditions on join. Does that sound like a plausible new feature to be the surprise? It fits with "who needs a minute" and other quote "better waste a minute..." also implies patience, either for the release of the patch or on the track.

I love this riddle. It kinda made an adventure game out of LFS sites. Seems like patch won't be out until we solve it.

How about this: "who needs a minute in blackwood?" means that with new tyre and aero physics fixes lap times will be slower and we will NEVER go under a minute in Blackwood?

For good racing in demo I recommend you to join Masknet & Serbian Racing Team server. Even though most of the people that race there are licenced they still maintain the demo server for many of our friends, admins (SERT members) are there most of the time and its a nice place to be. People gather usually late in the evenings, so join and have a good time and good races.

If you want good XRT races in demo, well you better ask SERT guys about it, cause I can't remember now if Svemirko Joca still runs his server.

Quote from Madman_CZ :

One thing in lfs that irritates me is when i am near to max speed going down the straight my headphones start crackling when the wind noise comes in ( and they are descent headphones!!! Beyerdynamic). I havent touched the sounds settings in lfs and i am using onboard nforce2 audio.....

Please do lower the sound volume in LFS to something like 10 or 11 as going any higher produces digital clipping that you just described. If you need it louder don't touch LFS settings but instead amplify it at later stage, in windows mixer or your amplifier/headphones whatever.

Off topic yes, but it seems this should be in LFS FAQ.

Vibrations through a corner is indeed the first unusual thing I noticed, and I think that is what Stefano was describing few months ago about car driving directly on the track's poligons. Tracks aren't smoothed on purpose (physics engine handles bumps nicely so its been said) but driving on a track made up of little flat sections... hmm cetranly feels weird.

Of course it was popular tonight. Its not every day that Kamo gives 9.5 to a movie. And he was right like he always is! Filur's movie is just on another level to every other so far. Excellent!

So far in Nations Cup its been like only the nations who were organized and determined enough (and fast enough of course) have made it through to this stage. We know there are many other good fast nations but they were sadly out very early in the cup because they just couldn't find enough people and motivation to race at the time, like Sweden, Spain, Hungary, USA, etc. UK have decided to split to England, Scotland and Wales and only Scotland managed to race in couple of events. If they have stayed together they would do much better for sure.

All in all, this is the first ever Nations Cup and many things keep improving and lessons are learned, so the next one should be much more exciting and better overall as the whole concept is very appealing. It's a huge and difficult task to organize all this, at the beggining there were 5 groups of 5 or 6 nations, over 300 drivers in total, over 80 at each event in first stage... a very big league.

Thank you. Well, its been around for few weeks already, I should've announced it here earlier, but little by little it has grown and now includes lots of things in it, so there it is. It helped our friends to look for and join more events that they previously didn't even know about, and that was the main purpose of it. Its kinda frustrating that many leagues just keep themselves closed on their websites and forums and general public who might be interested usually doesn't have any idea what is going on.

Adding events doesn't take too much time, it just took me a while to dig the infos from each website but it was worth it, and I will keep updating it from time to time.

We used the extcalendar module for it, link and info about it is at the bottom of the calendar if anybody else is interested in using it on their site. I'm not the webmaster so I don't know much about it.

I've listed most of the bigger LFS leagues and other events in event calendar on Cyber Racing website. This may be pretty useful for anybody that races in those leagues or looks for some league to join, to see in one place what is going on in LFS racing world, or for anybody else who plans making his own league to find the appropriate dates. Take a look.

Funny how too many people choose mondays.

Very nice news, congratulations T7R and no_one.

It was a really great race, battle with n1lyn was just amazing, shame that he had a disconnect and that it didn't last even longer. Even in a slower car and overheated tyres he just cannot be overtaken easily.

I really enjoyed it all, everything went smoothly, last minute adjustments for the race actually worked. Was a bit surprised that I won in the end as Moby had a big advantage before the pitstops, but anyway it was all for fun and I hope it is enjoyable to watch as it was for us.

Great event, thanks SDRA for doing this.

Lets see... Arne Krabbenhoeft of n!faculty did the most laps in 24h race: 204 laps out of 517 which was 40% of the race. But the longest stint was done by Keith Malcomson of team ITEK: 5 hours of racing in a row (with a record short "emergency break" during one of the pitstops).

Here are the stats: http://moe.lfs-tracker.de/index_full.html

hmmmm wow

S2 - 3.22GB (2.45GB of those are autosaved mpr's)
S2 Demo - 667MB
S1 - 1.05GB (I was deleting something from there)

Demo tests 0.04, 0.1 and 0.2 - about 200MB together

General LFS folder with pictures, movies, downloads, viewer... 12.5GB

Time to burn some DVDs

Here's one pretty fast, clean, close and hard race between 3 FXO's at the front on AS2 from start to finish. Other races from that night had more spectacular moves but this one was the closest as a whole. Enjoy.

Excellent combination for racing, I didn't see it posted here so far.

Boris also made a little movie about it.

Well guess what, I also have P4 2.8, Ati R9000 but 1 GB RAM and I get about 75 fps when alone on track and about 20-30 fps on full grid starts. I don't know whats right with my PC and whats wrong with yours, but check your configs before saying some piece of hardware is crap. R9000 is still pretty much acceptable at least for LFS (and if the rest of hardware is good).
