I am always happy when I see the remaining time towards a event.
The OLFSL Webpage for example gives me the time left until my race starts.

I really do like loong races, for several reasons.
Reality shows that in public races that extend over more than 30 minutes only a fraction of the starter field finish.
So, it really depends.

Actually I am quite happy to see that actions are taken to keep a clean server where driving might be more fun.
As much as I believe in personal freedom and letting people just do what they do best, there was such a torrent of unrespectful drivers, that I went into banning mode on my servers myself now.
So I hope you do have success, and keep CD3 free for all, so it acts like a huge idi*t magnet and drains them from the rest;p

It was a Mr. Blackwood;p
Chuck Norris is just no competition, he wouldn't even have to race to drive a pb, he just is the pb...

Tys,

Try connecting to it. AFAIK you will not be able to determine if the server is functioning properly just by checking if the process is running.

It is not _that_ infrequently used

To add some on-topic stuff, about a year ago and some wine versions down I also had the problem that drivers couldn't connect with "Did not receive guest info".

Debian etch, Kernel 2.6.18-4-vserver-686
running inside a linux-vserver session,
wine-0.9.31
LFS 0.5W17
Works, as far as I know, the server is not that frequently used.

Same problem here, look what I found:

Pool 1 race stream here, use VLC or wimamp5 to view

I hereby state that I will NEVER EVER drive that raceabout again.
Scratching my skin off with my fingernails seems more fun..
...on the brighter side, drove a new and although laggy as 2400, I hit no other cars..
Thanks for hosting, ant!

I walk....No carbon FootPrint

Well, actually, when you breathe, in your 'exhaust' gasses there is quite a bit of CO².
...but I would not call hired killers green activists, so breathe on!

Well then, let's hear it then.
<deutschisch>
Start->Programme->Zubehör->Unterhaltungmedien->Audiorekorder
There, you have to choose the correct source:
Menu "Audioeigenschaften" -> "Soundaufnahme" -> "Lautstärke"
-> choose "Was Sie hören".
</deutschisch>
Start recording, start driving your favourite dingdingdings producing car, exit LFS, stop recording, save the wav file and post it here.
Get your flameproof suit for posting a largish wav file instead of a mp3 1/10th the size.

Saved replays of pool 1 and pool 4 here:
Pool 1

Quote from tomylee :

nice video

but not the same like in LFS
In LFS is more like those metal bells from the alpine cows
*ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding*

In case you were driving the UF, it is quite possible that a cow tried to overtake..

Quote from russraine :

Thanks for listing the stream recordings. Video and sound quality a fair bit lower than the stream though.

Sorry about NSV.... as soon as something better is available, we'll try it.

Sounds promising
One more idea about the camera script, it would be quite nice to have some onboard laps thrown in here and there.

Replays, converted to xvid, bit by bit. Did I talk about my dislike towards proprietary software and formats? nsv is a b|tch to work on:/

have fun, Tys

Well, not much to add, it's all been said already. Sound clipping was over the hill, but I actually really liked it, sounded very "life-like"..
Is anybody interested in the replays? If so I'll post then and eventually cut them too
Regards, Tys

Bunch of gormless quitters!
12 out of 20 did not finish, a wee bit dissapointing.
Anyway, good thing I did the tuneup. Just to realise that R3 at the back feel like dragging a dead rear all the time
Good race all, Tys

As per usual: Does FF work?
aaaand now for something completely different:
I had a steak today.
Sorry, just had to!

I just compared IE7 and FF output of the page and the only difference I noticed is the top commercial strip missing in FF because my Adblock (TM)(R)(c) does not like it.

No problem here either. Maybe emptying your disk cache helps?

Pool 7 here, was a great race after all. The first 15 laps I had some great battles with Speel[HUN], we exchanged positions a couple of times.
After pitting in lap 25 and driving three more laps without anyone else pitting I was really afraid that noone would ever pit, but the did, luckily.
With some 15 or so laps to go I was third and closing the gap the Vipersweden slowly. Lucky for me, Chicogas, leading from start on had a puncture in lap 47, which lead to the situation of us three going side by side into the last turn lap 49. Chicogas and Vipersweden went wide, so I just had to finish last lap to get my first first
gra! Sensible driving of everyone involved.

Quote from russraine :

Tried the screen command, but, couldn't find any capture FPS controller, it was just so S.L.O.W.

Quote from nilo :

Yes I've also found that screen capturing is deadly slow.

I found that too, now
But don't depair, I found a little gem, it goes by the lean name "VH Screen Capture Driver". It is really quite impressive and performant..
Clicky: VH Screen Capture Driver

Must have been around newyear 2003. Beforehand I played NFS Porsche for a long time. With a friend. On one computer.Best of 21 mostly. We would drive a course alternating, best time got a point Then I somehow discovered LFS, so we played that. On one computer. Alternating. Mostly drunk and stoned. So my first memories of LFS are somewhat blurred but beautiful
First time online was about half a year later (!). I joined a server and did not have a clue when or how a race would be started. Some cars were running around the track, but I was able to join.. Was a new concept for me at that time. I got used to it and had a lot of fun online,Emilio, teddy, you still there?

VLC even can capture your screen, try the streamingwizard, use screen:// as source!
I could not test this much, so I don't know about the performance..
