Someone cheer me up, I don't want to cry over a ****ing online championship...I sound so ****ing emo, I'm hardly ever like this, plus I sound like some 12yo chav swearing constantly

****, Szymonek is out.

I'm so depressed right now. This meant so much to me, and I lose it because of 2 ****ing missed races.

Why did you have vote ban on?

Anyway, don't lose hope people, there was only one admin there (sorry for not being there, I was supposed to be racing in the NDRC r8 + had connection issues.) The car is very hard to control - I'd say it's the hardest to control in LFS - but with lots of practice becomes definately manageable.

Think back to the first NDR Kyoto 250/500 test sessions. There were lots of experienced admins there, and it was just as bad as this seems to have been. But when the race came, it was very professional. 2 things made that good race happen: the competitors got a lot better with practice, and the admins, though already experienced, learnt how to handle that specific race.

There are a lot more things that can be improved here, and I'm sure they will be improved:

1. More admins - easily done!
   
2. Competitors getting better - there's a good deal of time before the league, as long as people practice and the bad eggs are rooted out, I'm sure this will be fine
   
3. A - Admins more experienced B - Learn about this specific event - we are a lot less experienced than the NDR guys, but by the race, we should be fine!
   

NDR did not have to improve numbers 1 and 3a. And yet there was massive change between that first test race and the actual event. We, I'm sure, will improve even more, and so theoretically we should be even better than NDR!

That probably didn't make much sense, but basically what I'm trying to do is prove that, come the first race, the problems should be sorted. It's not a guarantee, not by any means, but if both parties puts the effort in, this could be a great league!

I was looking forward to this, plus I thought there was a chance I could beat Szymonek and retake 1st in the championship. So I brought my G25 to my grandparents' house (where I'm staying for a week).

I brought my G25 300 miles, and when I get there I find out their connecton isn't good enough for me to race. Both FAIL and OWNED, I'd say

Good luck Szymonek, I hope you win so I can tell myself I wouldn't have beaten you anyway! Well done for winning the championship...yep, it's already settled. You've been a great opponent. I'll still get me place in the NDR hall of fame, just in second! Have fun all

Quote from Funnybear :

Plus I had a worrying amount of yellows . . . Lol, and I thought I was such a clean racer.

There there, I'm sure it was just the BL1R bug.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Well they way I see it, a closed cockpit single seater is MORE dangerous, through fire etc.

Think back to the Coulthard/Wurz accident...what would have happened had they been driving these cars? And the cover would just fail at it's mounting points in a lot of crashes.

Deko, you might want to sort out the class names - you refer to the 'GTR' class (in the general info and signup example) and the 'GT1' class, which seem to be the same.

The story:

We talked on server, everything is well (or seems to be :razz

Quote from ghezzotrox :

Finally got the s**t working lol.
Still can´t get it to be a "cruise" tho.

Isn't the command just
/cruise=yes

Quote from J@tko :

If I type in h i get p0rn sites...

I always search for pr0n sites (rather than typing in the adress). Weird I know. Though typing "8" has interesting results. (Likewise with "porn" and "boobs" :hide

Quote from ghezzotrox :

Fixed this problem.

How do I spawn like objects on the map?
And how do I login as admin?

1. Just press shift-u and use the layout editor like normal. You can upload layouts with /autox X ("X"being the name of the layout)
   
2. Just type the admin password into the "Host Password" box in the join host screen.
   

EDIT: Oh, whoops. What did you change?

Quote from J@tko :

I use it so often I just have to type "m" into Firefox and the Hosting bit is top of the pages listed

Lucky you, I have to type in "h" for it to appear, that's a whole keyboard row above! I'm sure it'll appear under "m" in due course though

Pah, manuals...

Cheers for that, I don't know how I missed it as I visit there so often.

Quote from J@tko :

/select=yes [i think]

That's right And so is everything else to my knowledge (including #7) - I know most commands off by heart now!

These two pages help (the first has more commands):

Congrats! You definately deserve it, Chris

NDR may well be bringing you more news shortly

Ooh!

Now how do you you get on the NDR team? I know most of you well, I love dinner and have certainly had my fair share of epic fails

Oops, shouldn't say that with Dan above me!

Implode

I'm loving looking around the stats! 21 wins, go me!

Good luck Sam

Quote from tristancliffe :

I like the wet. I go well relative to my rivals, and I'm not scared of sliding the car or locking wheels too much. That 'confidence' (or over confidence ) seems to be worth a couple of seconds per lap!! I don't know what other drivers are like, but I find that I have spare mental capacity, even in horrible conditions with my eyes on stalks, to think about lines, laptimes, gaps, positions, handling. From conversations with other drivers, some of them have to concentrate 100% on not crashing. I'm not saying I'm 'special', but maybe I'm more suited to the wet than some.

I'm only at karting level, but I find that too. In the races I'm in now, if it's wet, before the race I'm thinking 'I know I will win'. Well obviously it's not 100% that I will, but it's extremely likely (and the confidence helps too). If it's dry, I'm thinking 'I'll try to win, but it'll be hard. A podium will be nice.'

Mabye it's LFS helping me with car control and making up for the lack of kart experience, or being smarter (I'm older than most of the other drivers) but I'm so much faster compared to everyone else in the wet! It is probably just that 'extra space' we have as less is taken up by 'Aaargh! Don't crash!'

Quote from The Very End :

Jesus christ! The ghost of Lerts has travveled the parallel dimmension through the wormhole creating a time paradox and then been aviable to infest your computer!

He's finally done it! And we all doubted him!

(Or at least, I think that's what he was talking about in one of his threads... Ohh Lerts I miss you!)

Happy 20th Töki
