it begins

dont incite him this stuff is filling the forums aswell as flameage.

I jumped in the bug server... lasted T1 at bl1 apparently I was a bit too laggy for the rest of the guys so I left. The first patch I've tested since W33 lQQK1N Good

Sorry if I ruined anyones first laps.

lol New cars in this patch lol you guys make me laugh!!

With all the work that the guys have put into going from v-w now to X....... I dont think so.

Not Yet..... But...... Soon

I spose that would mean in the wee hours of Saturday morning for us Aussies. Excellent work Scawen and the LFS community. I think that this is by far the best way to release bug free official patches But then again what would I know.

Found a bug on KY2 dont know how long its been around please just watch replay only goes for around 1 minute. The kerb seems mighty rough and high.

Hi Scawen, this has been going on for sometime on my servers both patch W and the test patches. It normally happens after the server has been up for a few hours. A few times it has happened after you type a msg then straight away type another only to have nothing happen. I'm not sure if it's because i run teamspeak aswell and my push to talk button is the delete key and I sometimes use it while the lfs server is the current window.
It seems that if I connect to the server and enter a few admin commands it will start working again.
But it's hard to make it happen all the time so good luck trying to find the cause.

I have also had this problem with the [MPR] server. It has been around for a while as ninja stated. Funny thing is that for me admin commands seem to work. Just no chatting. I haven't really had time to look into it and just ignored it because we dont really log in to the dedi too much because it runs through a VNC server to access. Also If we do we just use admin commands.

I done a fifty something in the UF1 ages ago by following a FO8 Piloted by one of my team mates (before the BF1 was there) around the track a few times you just get faster and faster and faster.

I would be more happy to see average speed at the end of a race or the average speeds for flyers (qualifying) more than anything. I know its easy to calculate distance / time but it would be nice to see at the end of a race.

Quote from stevewhite :

I dont really agree with auto-spectate when you false start. Kind of off topic, but, whats the point of having false starts if you cant actually have one?

I have never got auto spectate on a false start. You have to go really really early to auto spectate. I think the limit was something like 5 metres before the green light which is a massive false start.

Scawen and the other devs have been working there a**'s off lately and I for one appreciate it alot. Keep up the great work.

Just one question (may be flame worthy) every time my PC DL's skins LFS had a message "CLOSED and RESUMED" coming up around 20 times in the message corner. Bug or normal?

Brilliant thread read to start my day with.

Stupid me didn't take a replay so I can't really add them to wrecker barricade.

But thanks for the reply's guys will definetely have a look at the ban editor program.

Had something I haven't seen for a long time in my server today. A wrecker haven't seen them in a S2 server since the end of the demo era.

Quick question, it was in the [MPR] S2 Race server, The user was newly licenced and has never completed a lap on a server. I typed /ban jesup1 999999 but to no avail all I got was Username not valid.

How do I manually add a LFS username to my bans list and why could I not ban him I could ban anyone else I wanted to? Does he have to complete a lap on my server or on any other server to have there username validated by LFSWorld?

Cheers

Ermmm Lets not all forget that these companies ie. Intel, AMD, nVidia get paid big $$$$$ to endorse these products.

Also why is this stupid argument about development of LFS compared to other sims going on again. rFactor is barely getting "Developed", Modded yes... Dev'd hardly.

Can't we all just stop this bashing of sims. Everyone has their favourite and I know all those LFS diehards (tragics) will defend until the cows come home.

Cant we just agree LFS is a great sim in its own way as is rFactor.

you can blow the engine by gearing down real fast at speed, but stall I dont think so.

To me it looks like one of those racing incidents where you both did something wrong.

You both didnt give each other enough room I would say that you were probably out of control and he's a bloke who thinks the world revolves around him and everyone else should move aside. He had plenty of time to take avoiding action and could've move over a little. Saying that... you couldve moved over too.

My Verdict Its a Racing incident

Try having a look at some of last years bathurst videos. Under Craig lowndes's car they had a camera mounted under the suspension tower just so the viewers could see how much a tyre does actually move when put under the G forces of taking a corner at speed.

You'd acually be really suprised at how accurate LFS is with tyre deformation in cornering. Low speed not so much.

Find that footage!!

Where is this server hosted (the location of the datacentre).


Would you be willing to sign a legal agreement garunteeing (sp?) the dataspace and the bandwidth allocation per month. also the minimum length of having the webspace.

Sounds a bit dodgy at my end. Considering that we're paying the price of 3 S2 Licences per month for our server. Which is hosted in Australia.

Totally agree with you there Woz, without the new sounds it would've taken me alot longer than it did to get used to the mrt. I am also now finding it easier to get used to new tracks I am changing gears when it sounds like i need to and I dont have to look for the red dot.

Also corner speed is alot easy to get consistent because of the improved rev sound range too.

From a server admins view we turn mid-race join on when the racing is all in good fun. The only time its turned off in our servers is when there is a league race on in it.

It does get really annoying when we get laggy Euro's joining our Aussie servers. Most of the ones that do have no idea of what the blue flag is or what racing etiquette is.

I think the Aussie LFS racers most of whom know or know of each other race alot cleaner and know not to disturb a race that is in progress by pulling out infront of cars involved in a race.

Let me put it this way.... If mid-race join was off then we would never get people to join our server especially when we have alot of 20 or so lap races in there.

Another thread from someone who doesn't read the whole forum and just wants to rush the devs

while logged into the server as an admin type /help in the chat dialog. It will bring up all the commands
