And I think it's time to end this discussion.

seriously?

Quote :

Each race weekend shall have two qualifying sessions with two pools, each running for 30 minutes from 19:00 UTC and 19:40 UTC on the Sunday and Friday preceding a race day. Confirmed teams will be split into two even pools and be assigned into a session.

• a. Pool 1 will be for cars 00 - 14.
  
• b. Pool 2 will be for cars 15 - 28.
  

Any waiting list teams pulled into a race will take part in Pool 2.

Quote from dekojester :

This incident has been reassessed post-race.

The penalty has been upgraded from what was applied in race.

Car 03 is found to have done no blocking moves, and Car 25 is found to have placed his car in a position that it should have not been placed, and failed to take care to avoid contact. Contact was avoidable, and started an chain of incidents that ultimately led to the retirement of Car 03 and others.

Car 25's penalty is upgraded to placement as the last car 1 lap down.

Personally I find it a bit odd that the penalty is updated that way that a team definatly looses a position in the results and I think thats questionable. Why wasn't this reviewed during the race properly in the first place?

While I can understand the penalty itself (well... SG would have been my prefered choice), I feel frustrated about the way it's been handled with first giving us a warning and handing the bomb out long after the race.

Is it full moon again?

franky: is there any kind of auto response once i signed up? (or a complete drivers list?)

EDIT: ignore.... found it

Quote from VoiD :

Of course not???

Pure genious, Sir

"10.02.16 9:36 AM - LFS PROGRESS REPORT - I took a shit."

I hope you feel better now.

Well... isn't that the place were you have / get the best ideas anyway?

Quote from sinbad :

I could envisage an augmented reality type setup, with things in the actual windscreen being highlighted or enhanced by the NV display, but then you have the issue of constantly adjusting your focus from the road to the screen like you do with a hud, and I'm not sure if it would be a good thing to try and drive past a cyclist without ever focusing your eyes on him. Who knows

Problem with that system is that you'd need to keep track of the drivers eyes to get a proper highlighting / 3D-Projection. And it would drive all other passengers in the car crazy with a constantly shifting front screen I think. It could work with some kind of 3D-glasses, so you could even do some proper highlighting. Good idea though

Quote from tristancliffe :

I bet you anything he is - he's a clever chap our 3J - but wiki links assist informing us lot what he's on about.

Doesn't the Audi A8 now have pedestrian recognition via infra-red, and determines if they are about to leap into the road somehow, at which point it applies the brakes. Or the accelerator if Skynet is active.

Any lawyer will sue you instantly if you'd release a system that automaticly applies it's brakes once it's detected a pedestrian (unless the collision is not avoidable, t_{to collision} < t_{reaction}). If at all brake pressure would be applied so that there is an instant reaction once you press the pedal.

But you are right, pedestrian detection (and warning) is being done / possible.

Quote from wheel4hummer :

Use sources other than wikipedia.

Wikipedia links were for those who haven't got a clue and wanted at least to know what I was on about... I thought people would figure that out alone, but apparently I was mistaken.

Maybe I can get some help with this from the massive amount of wisdom and knowledge this Forum has...

I have to prepare a little presentation about Night Vision Systems (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_night_vision) being used in the automotive industry. While the basic systems used are no problem to explain I struggle a bit with finding ideas for future developement options and possible synergy effects with other driver assist applications such as ACC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_Cruise_Control) or active safety systems.

Maybe someone of you has a nice idea

can we close this?

4. CoreAVC is not for free.

Can we agree on that everyone gets the software he deserves?

Quote from IroNEagLeS :

Driver Name: Ilia
Age: 16
Country: Georgia
Preferred Car/Track: XRT - Aston
Average Laptime on Car/Track:XRT - Blackwood ( 1.24:12)
How Active Are You: Drifting when i'm free
Time Zone: Tbilisi,Georgia GMT +4

I hope you do realise that neither the XRT nor Aston are part of the demo.

Don't bet on anything other than they probably found a way to cut cost / get more value (or similar) for their money.

Anything else is highly speculative and is a waste of time.

Quote from Shotglass :

simple solution... boycott games that come with these idiotic means of copy protection

+1

But I don't think that this would change anything because some clever management guy will come and say: "Our product is soo great but because of all the stupid piracy we don't sell enough. We need more and better cracking protection".


Personally I avoid all games / software that require me to have a permanent online connection just to use it (singleplayer) or have any other kind of "clever" protection system. I have nothing against buying software but it seems that you'll always have more problems with using it ("sorry, the catia license server is down, please work later" etc.) than the guy who downloads it somewhere (where it just works). And that is where it goes wrong imho...

Quote from Tomba(FIN) :

UF1 and give it a little tweak

like a new chassis + engine?

As long as it's balanced well enough Idon't mind. But there are some tracks (like ky2) where it's no fun being in the xfg...

Made a post on my team site

I'm interested in this, but I'm very likely to miss some races

He even posted some more music a while back here, but I can't find it atm (read: too lazy to search it)

And I don't get your formula... just as I expected from you

I tried A today and it's stupid. Paper much to close the wall.

Quote from traxxion :

Never understood why A is even an option!

what he said

The beauty lies in the simple solution Tristan.

Anyone can use a hacksaw to fit something, but it won't beat the fact that you could also remove the clamps
