Back with a bang this Friday - some old favourites, some variations and another chance to run Rony's bullring for those who missed crashmas!

Give me knobblies on an FXR or give me death! Er, I mean, '+1'
Scawen: I asked a while back about the possibility of using the kerning work you did to offer a monospaced font in insim buttons - you asked me to remind you when a patch was in the offing, so here is that reminder on the off-chance it's not a distraction too far.

I'm there! 
*The results are in!*

This week we have a new winner! Congratulations to OK's **Rauno** for securing the top-step this time, on his 3rd podium in a row.
2nd place goes to MRc's **TimDC** who fought Rauno hard for the first 6 rounds. This is Tim's 6th podium in a row!
3rd place goes to OK's **Vilix**, securing a podium on his first PiranMOTO DD event!
We'll be taking a break in our regular Friday schedule as the next falls right on christmas day. Regular Friday events will be resumed in January, and there will possibly be a one-off event over christmas too - keep your eyes open!
*Join us next year, Friday 1st January 20:00UTC, for more!*
...And don't forget Rony's Crashmas event, 26th Dec, 18:00 UTC

PiranMOTO_Sweep - Local insim for building arcs of LYT objects
Panel:
Example:
Sweep takes a group of up to 30 objects and places copies
rotated around a pivot point, step by step, in order to
make an arc with as much smoothness as is possible.
---------------
Pivot: select an object to act as the pivot point, then
click 'SET' on the pivot line. The object
coordinates will now be shown. Pivot coordinates
can be replaced at any time, and will be
retained if the pivot object is deleted.
Objects: select a group of objects to replicate, then
click 'SET' on the objects line. A count of the
objects will now be shown. Selected objects can
be replaced at any time, and will be retained if
the layout objects are deleted.
Step: set the size (amount of rotation) of each step
in the sweep. Shown as degrees, and as LYT
heading in brackets. Use +/- to
increase/decrease by 1, and ++/-- by 10.
Sweep: place the next step of the sweep with the
'PLACE' button. The sweep number displayed will
increment with each placement, and can be
manually adjusted or reset uing the
-/+/RESET buttons below it. The direction of
the sweep can be toggled with the 'CW'/'CCW'
button.
Reset All: clears pivot and selected objects, resets
step to 1, sweep to 1, and direction to
clockwise.
---------------
Notes:
Objects that have already been placed (overlapping a
complete circle, for instance) will be silently ignored.
If the original sweep objects have been deleted, they can
be recreated precisely by placing once with the sweep number
set to 0.
If you need to hide the panel, use shift-B to hide all insim
buttons. The top right corner button will remain visible,
and the panel can be reopened by clicking it.
Step and sweep can be changed during the sweep, but it is
important to note how they interact: each placement is
calculated from the orginal objects (in order to avoid
accumulating rounding errors), and so are rotated by the
amount shown by the step number multiplied by the sweep
number. Changing one value mid-sweep will require changing
the other to compensate, in order to continue the sweep from
the same place. Another way to cope with this scenario is to
replace the original objects with the last placed objects,
and resetting the sweep number - this will induce some
rounding error, but it will usually be an insignificant
amount.

Cheers Pete! Works a charm - another I must've missed that one moment for my collection
Nice ideas. I've been tinkering with videos and screenies recently, and it's an almighty pain to turn off all the things I use when racing - mirrors, gauges, split times, mini-map, clock/FPS etc.
I don't want these things being off to be saved as my settings, so I use a second LFS instance to do this and make sure it is closed before my main 'racing instance' is closed, then close and reopen the main instance - if I mess that up, then I've got to undo all the changes too.
I'd love a 'capture mode' with a hotkey that would just toggle every overlay - nothing on screen but the action. Edit: shift-F
Also, if we're tinkering with that kind of thing, could it be made optional for a race restart to turn my chat history off? It's minor annoyance sure, but I have crashed whilst preoccupied trying to find the 'H' key many times more than I have crashed because something was hidden by text.

Congratulations to RD2 on his return to the top step of the podium after 4 weeks away, propelled by winning more races than the rest of the field combined!
2nd place goes to MRc's TimDC, close behind in both points and race wins.
3rd place goes to OK's Rauno for the 2nd week in a row.

Reason : Sorry, IRL intrudes into simracing time again :/
I've not used OBH with non-movable objects in all my insim adventures, but if they were removed I imagine I could achieve the same results with some strategically-placed movables and/or co-ords from an MCI.

Congratulations to RDSR's Ephwurd for his first PiranMOTO DD victory, on a highly competitive night of carnage!
2nd and 3rd place points were tied this week, with MRc's TimDC and OK's Rauno both close behind. Both 2nd and 3rd also tied with 4 race wins each, position is therefor settled by first win in Tim's favour.
