tl;dr:
neither single word is perfect, both are okay-ish.
"vertrauenswürdig" is the word used by browsers, virus scanners or Windows when the user is asked if he wants to do something potentially dangerous.
For example: visit a website with expired certificates, use http instead of https, open a file flagged by virus scanner, open an office document with macros etc.
It might be good to use wording that the user already knows from other software.
Yes, I thought about this. It is not fully clear if the "trusted" rating is something official (given by LFS) or was given by the user.
That is unclear with either german word but I think also unclear in english?
To leave no room for misunderstanding it would be need a full sentence like you said: "you trusted the host."
However, when a system asks the user if he/she trusts something, it is always implied that the system does not know.
Afterall, that is the reason why the system asked in the first place.
I think it is also implied that the users does not have 100% insight to the issue and is acting at his own risk.
(The user can not see what a server or file is really doing)
To me, "vertrauenswürdig" means:
This thing is worth trusting - there is nothing that raises suspicion - but a risk remains.
"vertraut" in context of trust is more about relationship between persons.
In technical context "vertraut" is more like "being accustomed to" something.
It sounds a bit weird but should be understandable.
Er ist vertraut, mit Computern zu arbeiten aber er vertraut ihnen nicht. | \ | \ He is accustomed to working with computers but he does not trust them.
It says they use 1/100s accuracy. "Die Zeitnahme erfolgt per Transponder; Zeitmessung und Zeitangabe erfolgen in 1/100 Sekunden."
The timing transponder usually must be mounted near the center of the car.
Screenshot from a different rulebook that has pictures:
It also says that in "head to head" situations the front of the car is used. That is decided by officials, but it is not specified how or when it is done.
The correct translation is in my opinion: "vertrauenswürdig"
It is too long by one character.
There are other german words with similar meanings but in technical context they do not really fit.
For now I have put "vertraut" which should be understandable but sounds a bit weird.
Most uploaded custom layouts are indeed racetracks, rallye tracks or drift layouts.
Using the search-function is a bit tricky because the area in LFS is literally named "Autocross" and so the word often gets used in unrelated posts.
I think realistically nothing can be done.
The cars are too large and too fragile.
As you said, just not suitable.
Jokerlaps, tire tweaks, shortcuts etc. feel too artificial.
Any "solution" will be silly and it is uncertain if it would even work.
Maybe it would be better to drop it as an official race and instead run some special event.
F1 drivers but in Gokarts or something like that.
Luckily this weekend there was also Spa Classics, with interesting cars and actual racing.
OBS means Open Broadcaster, the streaming software, or something else?
click-clack-click-lack indicators are very nice but I do not understand how you did it.
It is how the real car works.
It feels random at first but after a while you will do it automatically without thinking. You get a feel for how much and how long you need to lift.e
Instead of using Insim circles, did you consider using the car coordinates and checking "manually" if it is in a certain circle?
The advantage of using the Insim-Circles is that pace-notes are basically included in the layout.
However, currently you need an external file anyway, that is a bit clunky.
If we could add notes to Insim-Circles (basically a settable number would be enough) then you would not need the file.
Since you use an extra file anyway, why not also save the trigger-circles in that file?
Instead of using the Insim-Events you would have to "manually" check if the player car is at a certain position but that is not so difficult.
It would allow players to create their own pace notes.
You could have a pacenotes files like this:
The player would slowly drive the track and can add notes by typing something like "jump" or "right4"
The program would then write it to the file, automatically adding the current coordinates.
Next step:
When a player joins the server, the server sends a message to the new player containing the pacenotes-data.
Well spotted.
SVN = "Apache Subversion" is a software to help with software development.
Another popular option with the same goal is "git".
Basically tools that help to keep track of edits, work together with others or just publish program code.
See this thread for an example: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/107981-Telemetry
Different websites exist with the software already set-up and you can simply register an account. (Like creating an account at google-mail instead of running your own email-server.)
Lately sometimes people misuse these websites for file-sharing.
It is not meant for that and of course ripped files violate the terms of usage.
So when someone on sketchfab writes that he "found it on the svn" (or git/github) it means he downloaded it from such a place.
Not sure about rallycross series, but I think in WRC etc they have to use the same suspension system as the production cars. So MacPherson in most cases. The rules allow to change the geometry (different springs, lenght of arms etc) but the general system must stay the same.
Hi,
yes, it is safe.
On the virustotal page, if you scroll down to the full results you can see that only one Virusscanner (1 of 50+) reported something.
If only one program reports a virus then that often means a false report.
Would it be possible to get a csv/text dump of the hotlap database?
Something like:
uploaddate;racer;track;car;split1;split2;laptime
It might make for some interesting statistics that are not on LFS-world.
(longest standing WR, which car in GTR class has the most WR's, which combo has closest Top 10 times etc)
