Does cheating really go on in iracing?

on the Arox issue I am of the same opinion as Moose

I think people are judged on thier history (not like a book and its cover) meaning people who have been or at least been caught cheating in the past are IMO more likely to cheat again and will always be labled by some as "cheats"

Its the same story with cutters you see the same people time and time again cutting corners of certain tracks, you issue them a penalty and explain what they are doing wrong, then 5 mins later when they think no one is looking they just go back to cutting again.

With the internet allowing users to be almost annomous, trust is one thing it seems people give way too lightly, go ahead if you want and trust that someone has "grown up" but do you really know them that well?

Hi Milpol

May I ask is your PC overclocked at all?
Have you changed any settings in the BIOS just before LFS stopped working?
Did you update the GFX card drivers or install a new GFX card?
Do you have any other games installed & are they running fine?
Have you tried downloading and installing a fresh copy of LFS? (EDIT: I just re-read that you tried this << )

just trying to get a grip on what might be happening

Good luck

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :Thank you for the advice, but I am not able to reset all functions as the Camera does not turn on at all. I would need power to reset it, no?

You are right

Did you have a good look at the contacts in the battery compartment? maybe clean them if they need it, or if you can adjust the spring a bit? other than that I'm out of ideas.

Its sad when loved equipment fails.

Good luck

for £49 a pair seems way cheaper and easyer than winter tyres too.

If the snow gets bad I might try a pair

post about winter tyres, and within 30 mins got an email from continental...
""
Quote :Did you know that normal tyres lose some of their grip at temperatures below 7°C, yet winter tyres remain supple to give superior grip? Check out Continental’s range of winter tyres, for safer driving in colder months.

Where can I buy Continental Winter Tyres?
Continental winter tyres are available from Kwik-Fit [www.kwik-fit.co.uk] and major retailers of Continental tyres.
To find your nearest dealer click here: [http://www.conti-online.com/ge ... eneral/home/index_en.html]

It goes without saying that if we have a repeat of last year's weather demand for winter tyres will be heavy, so if travel by car is important to you, order your winter tyres early to avoid disappointment.

* In winter, road accidents in the wet increase by 267%
* You are 6 times more likely to prang your car in the winter
* November is the most common month of the year for car crashes, with nearly 10% more accidents occurring than October.

For news and updates on winter driving this season, and to enter more of our weekly competitions, visit www.conti-central.co.uk again soon.""

About 30cm snow here and its still falling, rain forcast for the weekend tho

Deko, winter tyres are not just for snow, they will grip better than "normal" tyres on any surface below 7°C

Used to be the 1st thing done to all my vans, before I started buying ones without glass, was to "blackout" the back windows, sometimes just with some plywood

the reason was to stop dirty, would be crooks from seeing any tools or valuable stuff in the van.

The 1 way glass is a good idea IMO security and some rear visibilty also

Most places in the UK have to order in winter (not snow) tyres if you want them.
They are not pointless its just we brits are not used to seeing or driving on them.
IIRC they make a big difference in temps under about 5deg on all surfaces, due to the fact that normal "summer" tyres harden up in the cold even really soft ones, in some EU countrys like switzerland it may even be law to have them, but I'm not sure.

As Niall said its not really worth it with the amount of icy weather we get here in the UK its at the most a couple of months.

Snow chains are leagal to use in the UK as long as you don't get caught using them on a road without snow on it

Quote from tiagolapa :Hey man. Give more details. My sub runs out in 2 months.. Thanks

From the emails I've been recieving from Chuck, the offer is only for LFS folks who have not yet registered for iracing, and not for existing customers!

I also think it limited and runs out today

just like SkyTV they will probably have another promo deal for "new" customers soon enough

Hey Fordie, hows things?

Great vid that one, I do miss the LFS "old days"

maybe awsome and abundant pick up racing will return with the next step in LFS development ie when the big patch comes, who knows, but its nice to reminisce watching vids like that one

Quote from a-k-m :One more question:

Is it possible to copy the online skins of other players, so that I can access them offline?

EG. I see a player with a nice carskin. How can I access it? I mean, when the server is loading it says "loading skin XY"... So it must be somewhere around?!

thx for answers!

Just a note, it is accepted that using other players skins without permission is not cool , especially personal or team skins, so remember to ask first if you can use a skin

Quote from majod :to your telescope?
/me faps

can you see further than moon?

My current telescope is an 8" diameter Meade LX90 SCT.
very much like this one

I can see further than the moon yes, but its more about magnitude than distance, some of the fainter deep space objects are more challenging to photograph, needing much longer exposure times (sometimes hours) whilst accuratly tracking to counteract for the spin of the earth.
Also my location is near a busy road and vibration through the ground is a big issue.

Visually I have seen some stunning sights with my scope and continue to do so

I will try to take a shot of jupiter tonight I can see it out my window now thats over 450 million miles away! and post on here for you

Some of the stars you can see with the naked eye are over 3000 light years away!

Thanks for the comments!

Quote from Be2K :You are damn right.
XMas this year is his last Chance to publish something or to give a News that some Updates !! or S3 will be released in the 1st or 2nd Month of 2011.
If he wont so LFS is just like what it worth it from now and there isnt much more left to play it.

Xmas 2010 or LFS did not worth it to come back here

All this "last chance" talk is very foolish, last chance or what?
its not like people arn't already complaining, whinging, and moaning lol.

Seriously you would think from the constant posts mentioning how much or little people are working on this game that it belonged to anyone other than the devs, it is their property and their project to work on as and when they like.

No one should have to put up with that sort of abuse.
But don't let the ignorant minority get you down

What server were you on?, maybe you could report the foul mouthed player to the server admin?

Do you have the replay?

Quote from legoflamb :I am still surprised complete message block is not available in the options. Is there a way to block messages like "Leg of Lamb left the pits (XRR)" and et cetera?

I think I remember that if you hold shift and press - (minus) this will block chat + system messages.

hope that helps.

PS not getting into the "facepalm" discussion because its just sillyness.
