User 'o000o' reported a slow download: https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/2137340#post2137340

I meant slow as in a delay before the page loaded, not 56k slow, line at a time. I tried the links you posted, some came immediately, two had a long delay before loading including http://competition.lfs.net/lx_skinning/ which after a long delay redirected to https://www.lfs.net as I hadn't added it to the exceptions list in Firefox.

Quote from Scawen :

He sent a couple of example links that you can try in Firefox:
These links are just as they would be accessed from LFS.

I use Firefox and the "Don’t enable HTTPS-Only Mode" is broken on mine, I have to manually add sites in the exceptions or it just redirects to https. I tried the http links posted and had to wait 15+ seconds for them to load.


and "switch off "Allow regional downloads" made no difference.

Found and tried 0.7F and it's just as slow so must be a coincidence.

Continually pinging the web server doesn't keep the route open. I use Plusnet which is owned by BT.

So, the best suggestion I can come up with is: Don't use BT. Perhaps have a look at Zen Internet. Trouble is you are probably tied into a 12 or 18 month contract. Certainly don't renew it, change away from BT as soon as practical.

Please can you help by posting the ip address for the web server so we can do a traceroute.

I have the same problem and it came with the last update. It seems to be the same problem described here: https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/2133317#post2133317

Quote from Scawen :

I guess pinging the master is probably not relevant as the mods and skins don't come from the master server, but do come from our web server.

What's the ip address for the web server? so I can do a trace.

Here are some videos and pics of the original Supervan 1, which has gone into hiding somewhere unknown to the public.

It's alive and nearly well: https://ford.shorthandstories.com/meet-supervans-super-fan/index.html#article

I don't do signups or anything that is spread across more than one event, so there's nothing that can be done for players like me to get us interested in this kind of event. Maybe there isn't a large enough player base rather than a problem with players not knowing what's on?.

Come on Rony, don't let it ruin your fun.

Yeah, what he said. I really appreciate what you do and the effort you put into it along with all the others who put on events. It's what has kept LFS alive The exploits are available for everyone to use some of them take skills to work, so use barriers, cones, etc, but watching hours and hours of replays is too much.

If you really want to stop track cutting at AS2/AS2R, I have layouts that are perfect: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/90695

These two guys became known for squeezing the running gear from a Toyota Celica GT-Four into an old Mini, and it's the best thing on Youtube you haven't seen yet. Over this summer, they have built a Citroen C1 to compete in the City Car Cup, so clicky click: https://www.youtube.com/c/BadObsessionMotorsport/playlists

Thanks, I agree with the outcome.

Ok. If you find him to be a naughty boy, can I pick the punishment? which will be he changes his name to one of my choosing for one race.

I heard Fras say last night that incidents were being taken more seriously now, so in the interest of fair racing...

lap 11, 2nd corner. I believe Jereloco deliberately drove off the track to be able to cause a collision, knocking me off the track when exiting the corner. This move was in retaliation for a previous incident on lap 9, 1st corner, where Jerelocos' poor track position and lack of awareness of other cars around him ensured a collision, which in the post race chat, he believed I was the cause of, when in reality he turned into me whilst I was busy defending my corner.

Cheers for hosting, it was a fun event

I still have no idea how the scoring works

I'm loving these videos with the multiple replays of each incident

Great video many lols

I want grid girls plz.

It's my local track too and have done a few track days there. Great track

Dunno why it's width is a problem?

Do you have the pedals showing? maybe you are not getting full throttle.

From: https://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Options

Quote :

Show pedals: [Yes / No]
Enables or disables the displaying of the virtual 'pedals' in the lower right corner. These can be useful for wheels with calibration problems, so you can see if depressing your pedal fully is also recognized as 100% in-game. A little white bar at the top of the pedal bar signalizes 100% controller input. The colours for the bars are: Green = throttle, Red = brakes, Blue = clutch, Gray = handbrake.

That was a fun race, we should do Rockingham more often

An evening of fun for just £12. Better value than a movie, pizza and a hooker

Here's the promised TV video:

Thx for uploading, it was an enjoyable race

I meant boring in that picking the xrg instead of both gti cars for the combo, just to annoy a few people is getting boring.
