Apologies about the links not working. I have now updated the domain name to point to a new server so the links should start working again in the next 48 hours.

Sorry again that I haven't replied sooner but I haven't logged in for a long long time

I can only assume that the app still works.

Cheers,
Marco

All insim add-ons talk to the server via the /insim xxxxx port. LFS then talks back to the server on a different port (often hard coded to your insim port +1). Other add-ons will allow you to configure the "listen" port manually. Every add-on must use a different return/listen port but the same insim port.

Gz

Well I think the show get's less and less support from traders because it is meant to be a trade show, not a "Let's sell everything cheap so that all the dealers don't get so many sales throughout the year" show.

Like the way you guys have structured your league system. Good work! And yes the posters look fantastic!

Nobody?

Is there any progress on this guys? We might have a few drivers that would join the UF1 Mayhem S2 but could do with knowing if and when it would be

Is there going to be a 2008 season and if so are any dates in place?

Cheers

I do agree with you there 100% ... I am guilty of this myself as usually I do at least 300+ laps to get to know the track for a league race but only managed <100 for this race so was off pace.

But the least you should do is get a set together and know how much fuel you need for the race!

I never claimed to be an expert :P

Quote from Niels Heusinkveld :

Yes that is the misconception imo! Of course torque curves aren't identical but if you imagine a variomatic, a 7000rpm 250Nm engine would accelerate the car just as quickly as a 3500rpm 500Nm engine! So torque doesn't tell you how fast you'll accelerate at all, because torque gets divided through the gearbox and final drive.

Ferrari probably uses the wind tunnel and computers to optimize the car body shape and most of all some underbody diffuser, accelerating the air out of the back.

Ok, I said in simple terms. If we are going to start throwing gearbox drive ratios rpm and god knows what into the equasion than you are not talking about simple torque / bhp figures anymore.

I can understand your points of view although I don't share the same experience. In any league race I tend to be extra careful to avoid collisions and as such I made sure I hit the brakes gentle and early, kept my distance from the cars ahead and despite the crash happening right in front of my nose (both lag lap and actual race) I manage to navigate through the cars. Yes I lost a few positions but I could make those up during the remainder of the race.

In the first 2-3 laps I again just stayed out of the way of some of the more aggressive driving which soon generated more off-track action enabling me to make up yet more positions through cautious driving.

The fact that some drivers were clearly not prepared and asking for sets is a little disappointing though I would agree.

Quote from sinbad :

I hear that a lot, but don't understand it. Please explain.

Ummm thought it was pretty clear ^^ ....

Your Top Speed is limited by the amount of bhp you have, and of course the weight and shape of the car, wheel/tyre diameter etc.

If you have a lot of torque, you will get to your top speed quicker.

"In theory", a car with 200bhp will accellerate no faster than an identical car with 150bhp (if they had the same amount of torque).

Torque and BHP ... Simply put, The amount of Horsepower you have determines how fast you can go, the amount of Torque determines how quickly you get there.

Not sure what you mean. The REN is returned/decoded just like any other TINY packet and should read 11 on the fourth byte. Not tested this but unless there is a bug in the insim protocol that should be the case. It's only fired when /end returns you to the "home" screen though. I don't even know if it's fired after everyone has left the server.

It's been bugging the crap out of me the last few days with the XBL problems. Hopefully they will sort it out asap.

my Gamer Tag is black halo uk if anyone wants to add me for some FM2 action

Not tested this with a demo yet but can't see wy it shouldn't work

Haha sorry couldn't resist ... You got a bump out of it


... make that two!

UF1 season 2 surely should come before UFBR season 2. Shouldn't it?

I still prefer the UF1 to the UFBR, and there's not any decent UF1 servers on the go anymore

There is! http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=34521

Just a Bump to say that patch Y is now installed. Better late than never ... so who is going to Drive Team MAR off the top spots?

Well I hope that is it for a little while Y is now installed

Love it

Who wants to hazard a guess? X37

Jesus it's a full time job keeping up with these patches

X36 is up

I can't say I have ever noticed this on mine either and have been really pleased with it
