And he adjusted it to wrong steering angle, momo racing has 240 degrees of rotation. Momo force has 270. (I realised it before but as it's not the OP's settings I really didn't need to mention:shy

Then use the advice in my post, go to axes/FF tab, click on throttle (or brake) , then click the axis which moves when you press the pedal.

Quote from yeager :I expected tough responses, and have thought through my idea and feel its worth thinking about.

Sorry if my response was tough, didn't mean it

Quote from yeager : I am not suggesting they are deleted, only license status is reset each year.

I quite don't understand this. I've got 10507 points and I'm gold, then I'll start again from 10507 points and I'll be copper?

Quote from yeager : Hence my suggestion to have a Race 1 for non license/copper holders from the previous year, a Race 1 for Bronze/Silver and a Race 1 for Gold and above. This would avoid experienced racers having to "muck in with the great unwashed"

Three servers for Race 1? Hmm... Might be nice but there are a lot of GTR fans who never ever look back to driving slow cars with road tyres for sure. That's why Race 2 has been a bit empty for a week or so (Maybe that's because everyone I know on the servers have obtained their platinum license and having a go at GTR cars or I may be wrong).

They have to open up 2 new servers (which will cost some more money) or change Race 2 and 3 to Race 1 silver and Race 1 gold and above. Which they probably will, because these servers will be empty for some time. But think about it this way, I can race 12 hours a day (for instance), and B races 3 hours a day. I'll probably get to a higher license in 3 weeks, and he'll be there in 4 months. Because of the Race 1 gold server (which was Race 2) I will progress but can't find a higher tiered server, so I have to wait for the others to climb up. Or, as I (and some more) demand a higher tiered server, this one will be closed and changed to Race 2, and the B guy will have to move to the Race 1 copper/bronze. Something we never want There is also the option to set up another 2 servers but they cost money. Without even paying a cent, I'm glad that I'm racing on very clean InSim programmed servers and I don't have the face to ask for more (an old Turkish saying).

We, higher license holders, are having problems finding people to race on Race 2, and you say to reset all points every year? Yeah right.

1) I've been working hard on my points, and I don't want them to be deleted.

2) On Race 1, people are still smashing each other for points to get a higher place in the results, can you imagine what will happen every january of the year? I mean, Race 1 is the only server to start with, and it's S1 so 27 connections and 20 people on the grid (Total Racers Entering X-System: 15,619). Not enough. Even when people are spread out in different time zones, it won't be still enough.

3) CTRA isn't a league, it's a bunch of servers to have friendly and competitive racing.

So, -1 from me. And btw, people couldn't change SamH's mind about resetting the stats when the X-System was introduced. I doubt he'll do something like that anyway (I remember someone begging Sam to reset his points in order to make a fresh start but he didn't ).

Quoted from Adaptive Racing MRT Challenge;

"My father had a surgery today, and I have to go home to cheer him up. My family live 800 km away from where I live, and I'll be with them for 3-4 weeks. I've no chance to get my wheel with me, so unfortunately I have to pull myself out of the league.

It was nice racing with you guys, hope we can race again sometime."

I won't be around for a month I think, see you then.

Quote from danowat :
Anyone reading this who hasn't watched any RSWC races before WATCH THIS ONE, it's some of the best racing you will find in LFS I think.


Well, if someone posts the replay, I will Please, I'm dying to watch this race.

Quote from zeugnimod :Yes, we are elitist, we don't talk to non-members.

And we of course ban everyone from our servers who disagrees with us. And their friends. And the friends of their friends.

Because we are promore.. sorry tech

Quote from SamH :FIX - LRF was reporting as TBO in the results screen. Now reports as LRF again

my last race: 19.09 and it still showed tbo and std classes. And FZ5 was in std class.

I know you're tired, don't rush yourself

yep, lift is needed to change gears, and mrt stalls if you spin. couldn't improve my time yet, around high 40ies. Probably I'll be in the back.

edit: forgot to mention about tyres. R1s will be fine. Haven't seen any difference on tyre heat.

Quote from SamH :
CHANGE - Race2 now Multi-Class, TBO and LRF.

We've reintroduced the LRF for Silver and higher licences, and merged it into Race2 alongside the TBO class. If you're looking for some fun and challenging racing on the CTRA, we heartily recommend this server.

oh my god, thank you, thank you!:bowdown:

Quote from dawesdust_12 :BuRak, at the rates that there are legitimate wreckers being reported, they are few and far between actually. More common is just people who can't comprehend basic overlap rules or complete lack of common sense and respect.

I do think though that some LRF's in Race 2 would have me in there, rather than Race 1 though, due to a certain Bulgarian living in South Africa, who knows how to set up a car beautifully.

yep you are right Dustin. If there were LRF's in Race 2, people in race 1 would have even more things to get motivated so they would improve themselves much betterSmile

Quote from J@tko :What you've said is true. However, when you're on Race 1, it is a bit annoying when there are 6 gold/silvers in front of you and you only get a couple of points, wheras if they'd not have been there you'd have got 20. However, as you said, you can learn from them, and if you keep trying, you'll get either just as good or better than them.

You're right as well. I think higher license holders have to be a bit sensible. When I'm in race 1, I always give way if I'm 6th to 8th which is in the points zone.

But you should never forget that CTRA isn't just for points. It's for clean, fun racing. What these guys/girl try to say for ages is this. Don't think only about the points. I know there are some wreckers because it's an entry level server but one day there won't be any left. Incidents happen, but we can't just avoid them, just like in real life.

I've hardly ever used any other servers than CTRA since I've got my S2 license. And I'm glad to say I did the right thing.

Quote from NoPistons :I would like to see the higher ranked drivers, driving on those servers, instead of pwning all of us newer racers on the level 1 servers. it is good for one thing, letting me ride along to see their line, but when they finish over a minute or close to a lap ahead of second place, that is no fun for the rest of us.

Quote from duke_toaster :Maybe points on the Level one servers could be given to all cars that finish a race ...

I think you're both missing the point. CTRA is there to make you improve. It's not just a points give away thing. If you say someone with a higher license blows your time away, this means there is something wrong in your driving, and as NoPistons said, you can see their lines to improve yourselves. Most of them are even kind to give setups if you ask them nicely. I know it's a bit harder to climb now than before, but points are not bad. I have a friend who got his silver in only 4 days.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :Race 2 having XFG/XRG along with TBO's?

well IMO LRF's would be much better for an added class to Race 2. Like in the old days:rolleyes:
