Quote from Becky Rose :

The cars in race measurement is taken at race start, as these are the people you have beaten ... whether they retired or not. Mid race joiners are not counted, but a driver who was there at the race start and then crashed and rejoined is counted, as you beat them.

The change I made was to make the time threshold larger, it's now at 108%. However if you are only just in 108%, and only just in the top 10, then you might find that you are not getting a point because fractions are rounded down - but a little bit more pace/position should do it. If it's top 10 finish out of 11 cars, then my statement here does not apply .

Point taken, though i rarely race at server 2 but at SS1 at the moment, so that should not be a problem.

Believe it or not (well you can check probably) but i am usually finishing in top 10. 6-8th i have finished regularly. And never gotten points so I am worried more about the pace then position now Maybe its in the full server part? How does the system handle the midrace joiners in this. People crashing and rejoining? Is the race for the system now less full maybe?

I am just fishing a bit Becky as according to your statement about position i should have gotten points more often?
Well maybe its the algorythm change. I just will try again tonight

Quote from danben7 :

yeah out of all the sims i've tried LFS is the closest to real life

the main difference and problem i've had getting used to is the rear sliding, normally you feel it in your arse and you can anticipate it easily, in LFS i sorta had to learn how far i could push then try and feel it through the steering wheel, haha it's a weird feeling

Liking that... hey?

Quote from StableX :

I do take offense at the fact that you are from Leicester and live closer to the true global home of the best potato crisp in the world - Walkers!!!

I must be missing out on a real good english/welsh joke i am sure.

Becky, just to be blunt then. How many seconds after the leaders do i have to finish to get points?

Now i can manage after considerable laps to get up to 2-3 seconds. My problem sometimes is i am too neat, too careful. Am afraid to overdrive my/car limits and crash.

Just to get some perspective as to where i am standing.

Quote from muhaa :

Hold on there is nothing to say i have to tell them any thing about this i could keep it to my-self im not sure haw easy it will be to fix this problem.I wasn't sure if it was exploitable i needed to do more testing on this which i confirmed my suspicions that it is,Do you think it is that easy just to write a poc with debugging info and send it to them try it and let me know,It take's time to write every thing up with explanation of the stuff needed.I need to know which language they want the pc code in..Perl,ruby,python,c c++ but ill send them an email i wasn't going to bother them till i new that it was exploitable which i know now.

Sent email fingure's crossed they take it seriously.

If they take our safety and LFS seriously, which they do. They probably will. Just bear in mind its holiday season now.

I feel some anger Becky? I am aware and apreciate all the work... really.
I like racing here!

We can only react to what we see the system do. Yesterday night i got points. I dont really know if its the algorythm? Problem for me was i did not expect them as my finish was not well. i screwed up a good position "again". I was relatively fast (broke my PB) but not with the top guys.

First i thought its not position but laptime mainly but now i dont know what it reward me for? Fighting on track maybe.

I know it might feel as personal Becky but we only strive to make system perfect... I hope.

Link tells me nothing i am afraid. Made me dizzy though. This is not really the place for this kind of technical info. Don't know if you are referring to a general windows bug or something LFS devs can prevent.

My experience is that the devs are quite receptive to the community and communicate with it a lot.

This kind of bug/exploit can best be handled with them directly.

And yes it has been posted as a request serveroption in suggestions already.

Well the other suggestions should work in client mode also, even in hotlapping i guess. Just browse through the addon forum here.
and try LFS lapper for instance.

Quote from Gai-Luron :

LFSRelax 1.41 Released




The first column are the gap split and diff relative to your better absolute split1 2 3 and Last

The second colum are your split and difference between splits of your PB Lap Time and no better absolute split

in fact you can have bad gap split relative to yours betters gaps splits and have splits better than splits of your PB Lap Time

The sum of better gap split is the theorical PB Lap Time you can do it if in one lap you do all better Gaps splits ( Equivalent to TPB on Lapper when you type !spb ). For now i don't display this info. Maybe in next Release

Fuel work after one Lap or 2 depend if you start to pit after finish line or before. it need one complete lap to work. After this, it work always since shutdown LFSRelax or change car or track.



RTFM There is a doc!! Anyway

extract prog where you want. You need only bin directory, copy content where you want and edit LFSRelax.cfg file:

Set password in LFSRelax file according to your admin pass when you host a game on your LFS.

Set Username according to your lfs license name ( needed for saving PB)

launch LFS and type /insim 29999 in your LFS

launch LFSRelax

Very confusing with the laps. So one is to my alltime PB (locally stored not LFSW) and one is to my best of that race. Is that about right maybe some headers in next version.

Quote from mejlus :

Or you can run hidden/private multiplayer server on your PC, and then run practice. Then your times will be uploaded to LFS World.

Yep but i thought he meant all his achievements on the other servers. They obviously are already in LFSW.

Quote from 96 GTS :

Look here: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=28508

I'd love to be able to connect to LFS world in single player mode, I think it'd make a lot of things better.

Well you can run a private server

I have it working all the time fuel. Did you perhaps change the settings in cfg? I am wondering about the indicators of splittimes. What does it mean that the differences for 1st split are not equal?

Quote from StableX :

What is used to make the tracks for bump servers as I would like to give it a go.

Also, how easy is it to make your own ad banners to go on there too?

Probably LYTE layout editor (addon forum). Just a guess.

Quote from Jakg :

I've NEVER seen this, i think it's just the better driver driving faster in a better position.

You have looked at the same screen? Not in this case apperantly. Becky states the opposite. If you have a higher license it should award you less points per time.

There are several.

LFSlapper
or Vcom
Think LFSstats also

check in the addons forum. They first will appear for servers but you can run them all on clients. They will save your times/races in somway on your HDD.

Quote from nelson_trujillo :

He did received points!

Thats a weird one. I see correct that he is slowest man on track with his fastest time. I normally am not the fastest, neither the quickest and have not earned a single point since CTRA-X went online, so why did this guy?

Quote from Jakg :

19 have the "National B" license, one has "National A", so thats 20

Well no need to open thse SS 2 any time soon. Better stick on SS1 for now

Quote from ajp71 :

I don't think there have been that many reports when I made my report a couple of days ago it was number 146 IIRC. I think the reporting system is a good idea because even if you watch the replay you'll still be biased TBH though I think reports should be reserved for more serious things than just the odd bump that may or may not be a racing incident (eg. repeat mid-race joiner problems, Phlos style weaving, seemingly deliberate wrecking and those baboons who just manage to piss everybody off with their repeated crashing/general noobiness).

Lets not give Phlos any credit in naming some activity after him, shall we. Not after the texts i read of him last week. It's too much credit.

Quote from The Very End :

Ok, sorry for going off topic, but I just needed to know.
Then I at least know that there are people who know what they doing that judge the replays, and not these power-freaks of admins

On this info you cant conclude that. You can have expertise and powertrippin though i am sure its not the case here.

Quote from RiGun :

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.

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

It seems that x-monitor (at least maybe) is resetting the grid times?

Quote from Austin31287 :

the lfsrelax.exe dont load from the bin folder

It should. Be sure to have .net framework (think 2.0) installed and the config (lfsrelax.cfg) adapted to your needs.

oo and lfs running with insim on port 29999 (/insim 29999)

Remove this to suggestions pls, since at the moment the addons authors dont have the goods to change it, only the devs can.
