Maybe it would be nice to have the number of comments for every article in brackets behind the news title in the box on top of this forum? This way it'd be easier to know if it's worth clicking the link another time

I'm not talking about unstable setups unlike what your Polish friend suggests
I'm saying that for putting down a good laptime, you need, apart from skills, a bit of luck. Because sometimes you just can't get that laptime (after a couple of tries) which you know is possible with the setup; putting the best splittimes together tells you that a perfect lap would mean a better laptime and that all that is needed is more practise with the setup.
With the application you're suggesting, that setup wouldn't be saved, because you didn't improve your laptime. With my suggestion, that laptime would be saved because the split times are faster.

A mod could also split this topic into a Pre 2009 topic, btw.



Honestly wouldn't know who else deserved it

Quote from Offog :So You think, best recorded _lap_ time is not function of best setup?

That's right Sometimes your split times can be faster, but you just can't get the splits together.. that's why I think storing setups by split times is much more interesting. Also, this would give an interesting insight on setup changes and their influence on sector times.

I don't have time for such a project, but I like the idea! One thing to bear in mind is that sometimes a better setup doesn't make for a better laptime. I would go one step further and save setups for the fastest splittimes.

Driver swaps not yet implemented into the embedded results Victor? Or just lazyness of the news poster in question?

Other than that; another fantastic addon for LFS World, great work.. :bowdown:

Agreed with above, thanks for the investigation and great work on finding a penalty that hits the person in question, rather than the team he disadvantaged (or at least as little as possible in this situation).

Quote from JJ72 :you need some time to let your body recover or else you are just wearing yourself out but gained very little.

^ What he said. The right amount of rest is possibly even more important than the right amount of excercises. I don't know if you're new to running, but 5km every day seems quite a lot to me, if you're a beginner. I'd start off with three times a week, max.

(Edit: beaten by the runmeister himself. :razz

And one thing I think is missing in your plans is food. Make sure you take enough carbs everyday to give you the energy to keep this up, and make sure you take enough endosperms (just looked that up with babelfish; wtf? :shy for muscle recovery.

(Edit: aanndd apparently the food thing isn't new in this thread either, you might just wanna skip this post! )

Thanks, but I read that too Would like to know which position-changes are still possible

How is the points distribution per race? ie. which places in the overall standings are still subject of possible changes?

Two subtly edited small images I made for a news item on our website..





I know I'm not a pro with editing, but I was quite happy with the results on these

Quote from scania :Can we know the estimation fuel consumption of all track or not?

Quote :The length of an F1 pit stop is controlled by the amount of fuel added. The rules limit the pressurized fuel flow delivery to about 12 liters (3 gallons) per second. Thus it is possible for rival teams and fans to estimate what a team’s strategy is by monitoring how long the fuel hose is connected to the car.

Source: http://www.indianapolismotorsp ... Of_A_Formula_One_Pit_Stop

Use that and the track length to get a fuel consumption estimate

Right decision to bring it out Petri, well done there.

To the man who always claimed he wasn't interested in the size of his e-penis: I hope you're proud of yourself now, c*ck.

Quote from Bawbag :Why don't we just introduce that each car must have a gap of about 5 car lengths to the car infront and we wouldn't be having any of these problems?

I have the feeling this suggestion has been overlooked by the admins? I really don't see any problems with going with this approach.
Quote from BurnOut69 :Just leave enough room up to last sector and everyone would be fine. If someone messes up just penalize the crap out of the idiot and he'll be more careful next time.

Lol, nicely put

+1 for both
Alonso and Piquet to remain at Renault for 2009

Quote :Renault have announced an unchanged driver line-up for next season with Fernando Alonso signing a two-year extension for 2009 and 2010, and Nelson Piquet confirmed for a further season.

The news brings to an end speculation over the future of both drivers. Alonso had been linked to a possible move to Honda, while many had questioned whether Piquet would be retained after a difficult maiden season with the team.

Bloody hell.. can't believe they keep crash pilot Piquet on the team
And too bad Alonso stays at Renault, would have loved to see him in a Ferrari Razz

Quote from Jay :i´m in third position - at least I should. so the fourth has to stay behind the third? something wrong what that? I thought that´s the position the following driver should orientate by?

I think you're asolutely right Marco. Unless something bad happens, the driver right in front of you on the grid (in positions) should be your target, no matter how big a gap he leaves to the car in front.

I've discussed this with André and found the reason for this problem here. I was going to make vids and screenshots and etc. but luckily the screenshot in Josh' post already explains what's going on. As you can see, according to LFS, André's position is 5th at the moment the screenshot was taken. Now looking at where he is in the pack, his position should obviously be 3rd. Unfortunately André used the big figure in the top right of his screen to orientate, and you can see from the replay that LFS calculates his position as 5th/4th from the beginning of the straight, until the finish line.
We've taken note of this and will make sure to prevent this from happening next time around, by using only windows and mirrors to navigate to our position.

Quote from Checkout :• Lap 223
• Car #03 and Car #02
• Sector 1 / Turn 1 / Time: ~5h 41m 50s
• Car #03 pushed us against the wall while driving side by side on the
start/finish straight and causing some damage to our car.

I'm posting the whole replay of my last stint, because the mpr edit tool didn't work for me.

http://www.imagenetz.de/f927522d2/moe-so46h.mpr.html

After experiencing almost half an hour of one of the best and fair fights I've ever seen in LFS, I have to say it's such a pity to see this. Especially when it's actually you who's handing out the first bump just a second before the push you refer too. We never even thought to complain about that though, because it was completely in line with the great battle and in our opinion all fair.
Yes it was unlucky that you touched the wall there, but on behalf of Vince I can assure you it definitely wasn't on purpose.
