Not sure if this is a bug or feature, but it's certainly test patch related (wasn't like this a few test patches ago, started happening after I upgraded to U30):
If I windowize (shift+f4) lfs and the lfs window looses focus, the lfs sound gets muted.

Very annoying, I like to be able to hear when someone joins a host (or just have the sound of roaring GTR's in the background ) while I'm for example reading my mail.

Edit: Uhm yeah. Thought I had read every post in this section before posting this, but the problem was explained by Scawen in page 30 in the "Cleanup : Posts moved here after processing"-thread. Sorry 'bout my bad research...

We do not decide - we propose.
We brainstorm and throw ideas at the devs and if they decide to implement them they do.

When was the last time (if ever) a suggestion postet here actually got implemented in lfs?
(not smartassing or anything, just curious )

10 minutes to qualifying and the server is empty.

Yes you've got it all wrong.

The qual starts in 3 hours..

Still some places left. Don't worry if you're not fast at all.. as long as you're clean and fair you're more than welcome.

Gotta love England, must be one of the easiest flags to draw coming close behind the Japanese flag... big red dot

Easiest flag to draw is without doubt the libyan

Quote from Jakg :

Fjord - Lake

A fjord is not a lake.. it's a long, narrow, deep inlet of the sea between steep slopes.

And btw, I've had three Ford Sierras, they all sucked bigtime. But The 2,8 4x4 was fun in the winter.

Ehe, I knew this was gonna be confusing. But this sunday we are no longer in summer time. So today your local time = UTC + 1, but on sunday your local time = UTC.

So it will be 20.00 your time on sunday... (if I got it right, and I probably didn't, so someone please correct me.. :schwitz

Also if he's not online, a timestamp for "last seen online" or something would be useful too..

Quote from Victor :

for pubstats you mean?

uhm yes...

Quote from Victor :

And about bandwidth - again, I'm not really worried about that

Well, I use the untarpitted service, so I am..

(well, "worried" is a bit strong since the amounts we're talking about is nothing that will make me poor, but we're trying to keep the costs of running the team to a minimum so every penny counts)

Quote from Victor :

but oh yeah, I'll have a think about it. It sounds like a nice feature.

Cool!

Hi, just thought of something that would be very useful (to me at least... )

It should be possible to somehow subscribe to changes in certain stats.

For example: I want to know when racerA has set a new pb and when racerB has uploaded a new hotlap.

I subsribe to those events with the requests
?subscribe=pb&racer=racerA
and
?subscribe=hl&racer=racerB

Then I have to poll for changes in my subscribed stats with the request
?check_subscription

If for example racerA has set a new pb, check_subscription returns
PB racerA

and if racerA has set a new pb AND racerB has uploaded a new hotlaps, check_subscription returns
PB racerA
HL racerB

(if no changes, check_subscription could return.. "no changes".. )

A subscription system would make it less painfull to deal with multiple stats. Instead of downloading all my teammates pb, hl and pst say every hour, this way I could just poll for changes and just download the stats that have actually changed. Would save me (and lfsworld) a lot of statdata bandwith.

Is it possible to implement this system (or a variant) in the future?

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Unless of course you mean CEST, do you? In which case it would be 8pm UK time.

Hm that sounds about right.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

OK, two questions:

1) So is this 7pm or 8pm in the UK? We're on British Summer Time right now, not GMT, so... I'm confused.

2) Whose springs do I break?

1. I don't know, but i'm pretty sure someone does.
2. Break mine and I break your.. uhm.. pride.

Sunday May 14th it's time for the 1st annual [noobs] spring break!

We will have three races this night, in addition to a qual-race that will decide the starting order of race 1. The finishing order of race 1 decides starting order of race 2 and so on.

Qual race: Aston North with FOX, 10 min qual, 5 lap race

Race 1: Blackwood RallyX with RB4, 30 min race
Race 2: South City Sprint1-rev with MRT, 30 min race
Race 3: Aston Cadet with XRT/FXO/RB4 (tbo), 30 min race

The qual will start at about 19.00 cest.

Sign up by replying to this thread in our forum.. this race is open for everyone. Be there or be... uhm.. square.
