Well, I wasn't a hack, seems like a friend of mine who knowed my password was playing there...

Quote from AndroidXP :

This sometimes happens if you drop from a server and LFSW still thinks you're online on that server. Normally clears up within a few minutes

I know that! but I wasn't playing, I was watching TV and when I went to play online I got that message, the player is still at the server and I cant play online

I'll have to wait till he disconnects from the server, maybe Victor can do something? Or the server admin can kick him but I can't get to the server and I don't know who's the server admin

I was going to play online and I get user name is already online, i freaked out and went to the LFS main page and changed my password, but I still cant get to play online, seems that that player is still on the server. How is this possible? I always used a different password for my LFS account, never used the same password for the email, msn or other programs, i'm scared :S i think i'll watch for virus/troyan/keylogger.

That's right Becky, I'm in med school and now almost everyone seems to be able to diagnose themselves with all the tools that the internet provides you, the problem is that healthy people tend to relate isolated symptoms they have and find in the web for a specific health problem and when they read the other symptoms they start having them, sort of a psychological problem. The real problem comes when the patient thinks that he is right about his condition.

Other think I noticed while racing is that when someone gets blue flagged or they get really nervous or they think that slowing down in the turn apex is the best way to go, I've hit a lot of drivers when I'm lapping them because they release gas pedal or even brake when I'm in their tail, I'm not asking them to leave me room in the corner, I'd prefer that they take the turn as they always do and then give some room at the next straight line.

also I was just racing in the SS1 and the limited mid join race feature is working wonders, the server is set to AS1 and in 16 laps I only saw one accident and lapped a lot less people, also never had a problem with people going out of pits recklessly, good call on that Becky

I read all the thread and all I can say that I'm happy with the new feature allowing only one mid race join, I'll reduce lots of accidents involving people trying to hotlap to the front of the grid, I think that was one of the main problems in the single seater server, I have to say I'm guilty of that, but I've never came out of the pitlane recklessly or lapping a racer who's ahead unless he lets me overtake or the situation is 100% accident proof.

About the restrictions in the FOX, I really wouldn't like to see that happen, the FOX is easy to drive if you get an easy to drive set, but almost everyone asks a set to the guys who get the fastest lap and usually that's a low wing tail happy hard to drive set. If there is a restriction to the FOX i think we'll start to see lots of low wing sets and maybe it'll end being a backfire, as I already said, new people tend to ask sets to the faster guys who can manage less wing setups.

I'd really like to see the SS2 open soon, I don't know how much time It'll take to have 100 national b o higher license drivers, but at this rate it may take a long time to archive, soy maybe a little less drivers could be nice, as someone said, I'd rather prefer to race against 10 experimented drivers than almost a full grid of rookies.

I don't know if it's like what Lateralus describes fits me, but sometimes I find my self more confident of pushing the car further and further with success, but then sometimes I try to do the same and end doing some noobish error, everyone who raced me in the CTRA Single Seater server must have seen me go off the track all by my self :P I also tend to get angry if I do some mistakes so I loose all my concentration for a lap or two, but if I'm on a good day I can drive faster that what I imagine I could.

been there, its quite annoying if you get kicked while waiting for someone to leave and get a spot in the track, maybe the auto kick feature should be adjusted to kick spectators in 25-30 minutes.

just wondering, how many racers have to get nat b license before the single seater server 2 goes public?

Sadly there is people who doesn't care if you are next to them and take the best racing line anyway, I've been there, it annoys me if I get crashed but there isn't much you can do, in LFS there are excellent drivers as there are horrible ones, if somebody is driving recklessly be extra careful and try to pass him in the straight line where there are no excuses for bad driving.

Quote from SpikeyMarcoD :

Afraid it does not do much. Its just CTRA standpoint on blue flags, a set of rules.

LOL yes, i realized that when got into the game and typed $blue, i thought it was some kind of report system for blue flag problems

Quote from Becky Rose :

I'm not going to do a single thing, unless there's a report about it. I cant do miracles and omnipotence is well and truly not my specialty.

There is a new tool on the server for blue flag situations though, one that I hope will clear up the CTRA regulations on blue flags. There's a whole page detailing what to do about blue flags in all situations...

Just type $blue, or look it up from the $help menu.

If you've been spamming blue flag hotkeys, for example, then they are absolutely entitled to block you. If it's them in the wrong, you could start by directing them there or raising a report if they wont respond to reason.

I've reported some drivers but then I felt guilty and removed the reports, I thought that maybe they would get a severe punishment and I didn't want that, but as thisnameistaken said the reports he sent ended in warnings so I'll start using that feature more often, regarding about spamming blue flag messages I would never do such a thing, I just drive carefully till the driver in front of me let me pass and thanks for the $blue function I'll look what it does and use it if needed.

Quote from Becky Rose :

We have enhanced blue flag notification, if you are a mid race joiner you are not allowed to influence the people who are racing in any way - you are a practicer. If you are getting a blue flag but did take the start then you are entitled to be there, and the blue flag merely tells you to hold your line and when the leader makes a move to let them through - at a safe part of the track ease off the throttle to make it possible.

If the driver hits a blue flag hotkey, as far as I am concerned, they have forefeited their right to overtake you under blue flag.

If necessary I will get together with the admins and publish official guidelines on blue flag conduct, but I think the only exception to common sense since the new system went live has already posted above. I've not seen many blue flag incidents since we seperated blues for racers and mid race joiners.

Although the blue message for mid-race joiners is clear some racers don't respect it and in short tracks like FE1 and SO1 I find my self fighting with backmarkers not letting me pass in the best situation (I guess they are hotlapping and don't want to loose a good split) or they take the best racing like making me loose time and letting the racer in front get away. I hope that admins would warn drivers when they do that and if the conduct persists receive a ban.

I did it and it's about 1450 points for National A license, i don't even have 450 points! It's a long way to get the limited F08.

Or we could wait for Andy(ger) to reach Nat A license, maybe 1200 points? one thing is for sure, Andy will be the first to get it :P

or you can use Bob Smith's setup analyzer

Oh, now I can see why in Argentina we have one of the highest death rate in car accidents, here if you have the brain start an engine, not stalling it and park with a normal sedan in a space that you could park a battle ship you are ready to go.

I remember getting my drivers license and when I went for a ride I couldn't avoid repeating lots of mistakes, now I'm a decent driver, but I don't know if I could get a license in the UK, seem hard.

Ah, the first day when I got my license a car passed in a red light when I had green light and so by reaction I breaked with my left foot (ahhh LFS influences) and stalled the car in the middle of the road and as I was so nervous I kept stalling it :P

for all those who say you didn't get points, did you join in mid race? because if you do you don't get any points.

is there any place in Canada that it won't snow? i dislike the snow, all white and grrrr, thinking about it gives me chills.

I have to say that the system is really good, but all of this effort is ruined by people driving like ****s in the single seater servers, I just have to say that the average level of racers is too low, almost everyone tries to overtake in places that there is no place to squeeze the car, the overlap rule appears to be inexistent, and if you start from the 5th place below in the start grid you'll have I'll say 75% chances of being hit, maybe this could be avoided if the tracks were a little bit longer, also if there were longer tracks a lot more people could participate, but as it is now you are lucky if you get to the starting "greed".

To do a Norberto Fontana, deliberately block the second place racer while lapping you so the first place driver gets away and wins the championship.

Damn, I can't understand a word from any of the Irish videos :S
