New season of the Original LFS League!
varjsa-9
S3 licensed

OLFSL S2 Whatever The Weather is the name and Live For Speed is the game. The coming season will start on the 17th of May 2009 and consists of 12 events with, as the title might suggest, different lighting and randomized weather conditions.

If you are interested in serious racing and aiming for victory, or just looking for fun on the track with competitors on roughly same level as yours, this is the place.

Participation will be open throughout the Season, meaning that you can come and race with us when you like and when it fits your schedule.

However, keep in mind that if you are aiming for glory you need every point you can score during the season and missing an event is not an option then.

Subscribing to season is open now - if we got you interested, we are happy to invite you to race with us. Just log in to our site (www.lfs-league.com) and subscribe to season - let's make this season even better than the previous ones, all the way back to 2003!

See you, on track...



With best regards,
The Original LFS League Staff
Wind sucks?

Just wanted to pick this up and make a conversation about it. It's quite important detail considering our coming season and it's features.

i want to be polite but wind really sucks in lfs. Re-think it before using it!!!

Now.. I'm interested why wind really sucks in LFS. Such an strict opinion requires some reasoning. Opinion supporting wind are also welcome.

What comes to my opinion - the only thing that bothers me about the wind "model" at the moment is that it's constant force throughout the track. Still, I see it adding rather than reducing something to OLFSL experience.

That's funny - it's working here


- edit ---
Oh no, sorry. It doesn't - must have been some old copy from cache

- edit2 ---
Ok, I did some investigations and the service providers page is down also. That means that only thing we can do is wait for now.

And now it works again. Let's hope it stays that way...

Due to unfortunate application crash the qualifying will be open tomorrow (Friday) from 17:00-18:00GMT. This was decided to ensure that those who failed to qualify because software failure can still make it in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Anyone else having problems with burning clutch?

Add some heat there and hit those bumps and your clutch will be done by lap 6. Really need to be carefull...

I took the liberty to convert it to pdf-format. It still is not as light as txt/rtf, but I didn't want to mess up with the formatting.

Oh, and I would like to consider this deal done now - please.

The offensive plate has been changed and we are all happy puppies now

Quote from anttt69 :Did I say that?

Actually you did say that we should go through the results we use our time. This is not really important, what is in my opinion important can be read between lines in the following:

---------------

Question:
I really don't think swear words or foul language should be allowed on drivers number plates, do you??

Answer 1:
Well if you notice any, please do report them with their username. Again, we can't monitor every plate 100% of the time.

Answer 2:
So did you actually see an offensive plate in our league?
I recommend taking down their username and reporting it. I don't think we need a big rule about it, it's common sense. If someone reports an offensive plate we'll take action.

Reply and required information:
omg , who hosted pool 3 & then filled in pool 3's results??
Do you guys even read the results that you spend your time putting on the site?

It's not like he changes his plate every race either. It's been like that for months. Oh & if you still fail to spot the offender his name is mensafest.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'disturbing' but I dont think swear words should be allowed.


---------------

Quote from anttt69 :What I thought would be sensible is: when one of your league racers reports an offensive number plate it might be an idea to glance at the grid list & actually look first.

What I honestly think would be sensible is; when one of our league racers reports an offensive plate (or anything else that he feels offensive) it would be a really good idea to inform us whos plate (etc) you feel offensive. That would save us all a lot of time, including yourself.

You see above? If you had posted - or preferrably emailed - the members name who had that offending plate instead of vague question if offending plates should be allowed, the matter would have been solved much faster. And it would not have been too difficult either, ehh?

Hehe.. I constantly feel more offended by your commentary on different subjects - but hey, maybe I'm blind to your good thoughts and war against wrongdoing.

Do you feel "wtf" is not faul language - would it be allowed by your moral quidelines to say "eat s**t" then? Everyone would still know what it means, even though there are some letters missing.

But before this gets even more personal - OLFSL rules state:

Penalties apply for the following:
...
The use of bad language
...


Therefore I'll contact the member in question to change his plate. Thanks for being our eyes and ears on the internet - we truly can not quarantee to be able to read all the details in the results and we must rely on some parts to Your sportsmanship.

I hope you can see this is not the same case? Well, for me it doesn't look like that

Anyway, your point noted as well.

Quote from anttt69 :I have to say I was also frustrated my the lack of punishment as were many other drivers but the cheater that I named & shamed never even showed up to the race

So you would consider it fair if it was picture of you cutting and you would have been penalized, while there were (possibly/likely) others cutting the same corner but were not caught and got no penalty?

Because that would have been the case.

I'm confident that we made the right decision here.

Quote from russraine :Well the idea is simple enough, but not sure if I want to have to tell 30 people every week when they arrive on the server to remove their plate.

After getting stop&go penalty few times I think they'll learn

Seriously, I don't like wrong driver names in our database either, but it seems futile trying to force people update their profile to one they use. I would not want to make this an issue...

I think the only option to remove all "disturbing" plates would be to forbid using plates at all. Which I would gladly do since there's not much use for those. Especially when the plate used is not the same as in our database.

I really was a bit shorter one.. about 35-40minutes or so. Looking back, I feel a bit sorry it wasn't made longer - could have gained few positions more ...or end up hugging the wall

Quote from Michel 4AGE :Nice but a bit short race.. it was over before I got a nice rhythm lol.

I promise you next one is a bit longer - approx. 1 hour like usually

Pool3: Gained some positions, but lost too many in the beginning due to roadkills I ran over. That caused me enough damage to persuade me to pit in I was planning to do my pitstop early, but not that early - and especially not that long...

In the end I had some nice fights, thanks for those to whoever responsible

See you in next one
