Quote from uiop :so why didnt u eased things on the gas pedal? u could then draft him the hole race isnt lap1

with the bird view you can clearly see that just before the impact they are not only side by side, but senna is clearly ahead,and on the racing line.

i dont see any reason to give up in such case.

100% his fault?

I wonder how he could justify this ramming.

Quote from ayrton senna 87 :more proof that it is slow guys in T1 that cause the accidents

i would have rammed him personally, instead of swerving.

Personnally I would call that "The Slower and the Stupid".

We just can't say whether the latter is faster because it didnt even managed to reach L1/T1 :-)

Actually you are a funny guy Dendy Boi.

I remember few weeks ago a race in SO classic, where I slightly touched you when braking in T1, with absolutely no consequence.
The lap after you sent me to the air, and you explained that it was a 'reply'.
Despite my apologizes for the first little contact.
What is funny is that you take this long thread to explain that a contact from behind is nearly a blue flag for a faster driver, but when it happen to you you seem to feel it as an unacceptable offense...
not a very convincing driving attitude.

see you in T1 mate.

i did it and it works perfectly, in LFS and GTR, rfactor,....
i bought a very cheap saitek gamepad, which provides up to 16 buttons.
it comes with a keyboard mapping software, which allows to map any button with any combination of keyboard keys (including shift for pit, restart,...).
several game profiles allows to select different mappings for every game.

note that adding more USB controllers may induces some lag (display freeze).
i found that 4 devices is a maximum in my config (nforce2 chipset).

at the end this device is a must when racing online.

I own an ECCI 6000 system for 2 years.
I would say that the best added value of it is the pedals.
the feeling is so close to real race car pedals!
the heavy weight of pedals provides a very accurate 'feedback' of the actual position.
much better than speed7 pedals for example.
regarding the wheel, I think the feeling is great too. the passive hydraulic system mimics a real powersteer and provides great precision.
of course some feedback on front drive load is still missing.
I dont miss vibrations and the like, but feeling when you loose the front would be a true enhancement.
anyway its a great system.
is the price right or not, mainly depends on how much you are ready to invest in your simulator.
do you want the best parts whatever the price, or do you want the best price/quality ratio?
WRs are usually not achieved with best in class devices, and dont expect to become an alien with such system. however you will probably gain in consistency, on long league races for examples.
its a good choice for sure, especially in the long term. this system can probably last a decade without problem, just think to change pots.

intentional wreckers usually wreck and wait for being kicked or banned, or leave before it happens and go to another server to do it again.

the ban system is ok, but could be valid on all servers, not only the server where it has been voted.
something like the delay before re-attempting to join after too many clicks.

regarding a lock system, I dont think it will help because wrecking is a behavior issue, not a skill issue.
newbies or slower people should always be welcome to join, ask good setups and learn online from the others, as long as they follow flag and crc rules.
moreover, slower, lapped people is part of the race, and quite interesting to deal with.

even fastest people behavior can be questionable, no need to recall famous names (not talking about mistakes we always do - shit happens, but intentional, very aggressive driving).

the LFS community should work hard, and harder these times, to stay open and friendly, patiently waiting for wreckers to move away.
it will certainly happen since new sims appears every 6 months.
1 year ago, there were few wreckers in LFS S1, but *a lot* in GTR.
S2 is new, and more popular than S1, so morons are coming like flies on a halogen light.
rfactor, GTL and GTR2 will hopefully be their next target.

in the meantime, we should take it easy, public races are not league races or hotlapping or a ladder competition, just a good place to practice racing and have fun.

bty, are there plans to re-activate the ladder system?
