- qualy is open for all
- we know about the problem with TBOs.... but we have no plan yet to fix :/
- yeah, i already noticed, on my list
- i made this because when race starts, you get not informed
- the message is timed to XX:25... so qualy is normally at another time
- translations will be deleted
wrong! in every kilometer you drive you get experience... no rule is against driver developing
i am now in the same dilemma and because of this, we decided to start as a guest only without points....
sooo but to the point you say:
even when you "f***" up you get experience! i had to train hard for the seat in the IGTC race and it was really hard for me to get the speed of my mate, so if you are in an IGTC team, you have to train with your mates a lot to show them that you are a racer.
exactly! there are much leagues with races longer than 1 hour... the only thing you get "f***" is, that most leagues have a summer break right now.
will be changed for season 2, deko and me had a good discussion about.... simply be surprised
okay, and then each team engages one alien driver and what do you have? right.... alien drivers who has more than enough experience in a league to get experience.... there is a sense behind this rule, trust me
totally agree!
i think the official LFS IRC is the better choice (in my thought there are not enough in yet)...
especially if you are a more or less important administrator of a project (leagues, team boss, leading a well visited public server.....) you will never have peace anymore
that what i expected
you have to thank EQWorry for the Airio system which makes this self organizing longrun league possible. before airios scheduling feature it was nearly impossible. i think this race-mode was simply missing in public area just as you said.... so it was clear for me to fill this gap
Temperatures in tyres were optimal: 117,108,98 at the front (R4) and 104,99,92 (R3) at the rear. The inside of the tyres looked good too.
In the first lap i noticed a drop of 30°C in the R4 and 18°C in the R3.
In the second and third lap the temps got down to 64° in the R4 and 75° in the R3 (seemed to stay stable).
Then i made a flying start and it took 4 laps to get the grip back in the R4 tyres while the R3 tyres where ready after 2 1/2 laps.
So i see it so, that FXR teams have to make a mandatory pitstop in the last SC lap not to danger anyone else on track.... 64°C is simply undrivable at R4! So this rule is simply an unfair advantage to FZR/XRR pilots...
mmmmhhhhhh, 3 laps of SC at kyoto means about 10 minutes cooling tyres... I think its a foolish decision because cold tyres are more dangerous and it may be a crash race or a "who gets the tyres warm at the end of the stint" race. I would say you should better be more realistic with the technical possibilities instead of thinking about nonsense rules.
I want to take Rudi's words further from my point of view:
Fact is, you screwed the FXR R4R3s , and you are about to do the same once more. And thats just unfair for me as well. And its not much better with FZR/XRR.
is it possible to talk about the GTR/TBO balancing (Patch Z) in a new spinoff thread? i think there is a need for clarification before the next patch....
wanted to create one but dont have the permission
fxr will be close here because of the 4WD... they can brake much later in T1 (Chicane after start/finish), T3 (Turn off the oval), T7 (Turn after split 2) and T9 (Final chicane)
dont know if you already fixed the thing with the framerate drop...
i found out something: i played a bit with my energy option in windows...
if i set harddrive shutdown to 20 minutes, i get this framerate drop every 20 minutes.... the same with 15 minutes and so on...
when i disable all energy options i have no problem
i am using XP x86 (problems) and vista x64 (no problems) and still using Z13
maybe you can reproduce it now (hope its not my machine)
because we have rules and they are made digital (infraction or not). the only analog part is the penalty... if you dont like them, print them, take them to the toilet and make a big brownie on them... but if you do so, then search another league to drive in.... your choice
MoE has longer races with at least 6 hours... we have 3 hours races where 3 stints are normal, so 2 pitstops and driver changes.... its just the normal way but you are free to play with strategy. the 4th driver is meant as a reserve driver. more than 4 drivers made no sense in our eyes while we created the regulations.
your words in gods ear....
changing rules during a season is a bit sub-optimal... the only thing you can make is a gentlemans agreement like we made with the safetycar thing (starting row by row)... we made the rulebook with the one from IGTC as a template (thx to DWB again).
so and now to your statement about german: you should be really careful what you are saying! it can be interpreted as racism and we have a clear internal rule for it too. german may be a bit perfectionistic, but its in our blood... we have some racist elements in our country, but in scandinavia you have them too
@MoMo: i will have a look on your improvement suggestions tomorrow with the other admins, looks good so far
do it better, we all have a reallife and all of us are working long a day.
you had time until thurdsay to confirm a roster for the race and if a manager is not available and a few people will miss the event, you may write to an admin to correct the roster. we are not running behind everyone to get a roster from them, confirming is the responsibility of the team and not our.
No penalty here: #6 did not slowed down enough in corner before and car #24 should have watched more at traffic.
warning for car #21 for not watching enough, warning for car #7 for driving onto racing line after incident (touched 3 or 4 cars), warning for car #9 for pulling into corner while a car was beside
tricky situation and i checked tyres... car #36 was a bit late on brake (both front tyres stood still while colliding)
i think its a racing incident, no penalty here
