Quote from Hallen :

Street cars now have four basic transmission types.

You forgot about DSG..

"Essentially, the engine drives two clutch packs simultaneously. The outer clutch pack drives gears 1, 3, and 5 (and reverse). The inner clutch pack drives gears 2, 4, and 6. Instead of a standard large clutch plate, each clutch pack is a collection of four smaller stacked clutch plates, due to space constraints. Because the alternate clutch pack's gearing can be pre-selected, upshifts occur in an impressive 80 ms, though downshifts still take 600 to 900 ms."

Quote from nikka :

It seems like "action=hosts" don't return hosts running on patch S and T.

OK, works fine now... didn't have to change anything in my scripts either. Thanks Vic!

Hey,

It seems like "action=hosts" don't return hosts running on patch S and T.

Or is it just me?

wow, hes HUGE!

Congrats!

Well, for what it's worth, i spent 10 minutes on your server racing. Alone though. No problems.

If you can handle that combo, feel free to sign up for our race tonight..

Cya there!

Quote from richy :

tell me its not allowable to wreck after a race is finished.

please....
if you really believe that kind of behaviour you showed is acceptable, then good luck in whatever online or real life community you wish to attend.

'nuff said.

Quote from richy :

oh, and the [noob] that i was following up the track teh wrong way kept very quiet too. then he banned me for wrecking!

lol. I banned you after you admitted you wrecked people on purpose. And I didn't follow you up no track.
Please get some help.

Hmm, it took 46 posts for this to appear. I'm surprised it took that long.

Hmm, me too actually.

Quote from mrodgers :

Er, isn't the US the only ones left using inches, feet, miles? So, don't you mean 8 centimeters?????

No, here in Africa we use n'plickerz. I could tell you how long 8 n'plickerz is, but that would just scare the s**t out of you, so I won't

Quote from Hyperactive :

Pssst! Read the first post

Oh? Will that make it any bigger?? Cool.

(yes yes, it was a joke.. )

Mine is about 8 inches.

seems fine now

Quote from Victor :

Please try it out

Well, I generated a ident-key and tried to call pubstat with a fake ident-key but didn't get any error msg?

I think this sounds like a great idea.
Do you know when this will be up and running?

Quote from deggis :

Yup, it's annoying. For MRT I usually use virtual display, which sucks because it's distracting.

For MRT I turn off drawing the wheel (options -> view -> draw driver/wheel). Sucks too, but not as much as virtual display

Quote from Vendetta :

Higher tire pressure=longer lasting tires. Less positive and negative camber=longer lasting tires (IIRC)

Thanks mr. Police Siren

Quote from Scawen :

Regular progress reports are a long requested thing, but unfortunately it doesn't really work that way. It's best to just report when we actually have something interesting to report.

Because progress reports are another of these things that often cause great anger, if the report is about the development of something that some racers aren't waiting for (so our priorities are all wrong) or three weeks have been spent on a new editor function (often perceived as entirely pointless). Or, if we have been experimenting for weeks on something that may or may not be released, then it would be a near fatal mistake to mention it... we know what happens if we say "one day this new feature may possibly be implemented" - then it somehow becomes something we have promised! So we can't ever mention anything unless it's in the almost complete stage.

The only way forward with progress reports, is to make one when we have something interesting to say. Those intermediate things that some people would be interested in, aren't actually very interesting and only cause anger with some other people, due to the apparently slow pace of software development, when viewed by an external observer.

Quote from Scawen :

No, sorry, there won't be anything this year.

In about November, we hoped to be able to get something together for Christmas, a minor physics update and a new config in one of the tracks. But in fact it became clear that would take too long... no-one really wants a minor physics update with bugs in it. They want a very well tested physics update, including aero and tyres.

Personally, i have been finishing my kitchen which has been in a half-completed state for seven years. Always considering tyre physics and so on, to get on with it in January.

Quote from bobvanvliet :

Also, a small change in tyre pressure or camber usually does the trick of helping it though a couple more laps.

Hm, since I'm a noob in the setup business: In what way do you change tyre pressure/camber to make tyres last longer?

Quote from tristancliffe :

A road car spends only a tiny amount of time at WOT.

MUHAHAHAHA! If you're ever in Norway, give me a call and I'll give you a ride to show you "tiny amount of time at WOT"

(but no, I dont care about that stupid "ptttsshhhhh"-sound, so i've got no BOV)

Quote from Victor :

@nikka - I did not do the chart indication. This would cause a massive impact on our db, so I can't do that. Instead, if you really want to have chart positions, there is something you can do now that the hl_log has been added, namely, you can create your own exact copy of the entire hotlaps db, so you can calculate chart positions yourself.
You can do this by requesting all hotlap charts once and store those. Then all you have to do is make use of the new hl_log, which returns all the new hotlaps. You add these to your own db and you'll always be up to date.

BTW, thanks for the update! My goal was to minimize the number of db requests, so this should work just fine

Quote from Anarchi-H :

I think a separated list of usernames for PB and PST with separate tarpits of at least a minute would make a lot more sense, especially considering that the majority of users for the lfsworld data seem to be teams.

Wow, was just writing a simular request when you beat me to it..

The way I do it today (see http://noobs.vossmedia.de/stats.php (not finished btw, still working on it)) is quite... complex since I have to do one hl/pst/pb-request at a time with a 5 sec delay. Being able to retrieve hl/pb/pst for multiple racers in one request would make life waaaay easier..

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Not wanting to hijack, but: I did the whole professional chef thing for a few years, until I finally went nuts and had to pack it in and take a year off to recuperate (seriously!). As much as I hated it, I am at least glad I learned to cook well in the process.

Cooking's a great social skill, food makes people happy, chemically and psychologically, especially when somebody else goes to the trouble of making it for them. It's well worth learning to do it well.

Oh ok, since we have a chef here, let's settle this once and for all: Is preparing a bacon sandwich considered cooking?

Quote from Victor :

i'll keep this in mind for a future update.

excellentasticomente

hey!

It would be great if the action=hl also could return the position on chart.

Now I have to do a action=ch for each combo action=hl returnes to find the chart position. Obviously a lot of bandwith/scrip calls wasted.

Any chance this could be implemented?

Quote from McAzerty :

How can I let the XF GTI go 400 km/h ?

Guess there are 1000 ways to do that... but nothing beats the sound of a 8 liter single cylinder..
