Just don't look at it. Or race at Kyoto. No more nightmares. Shrug

Any MPR's available of both action packed events?

Peter and Travis did an excellent job keeping up with the action, but it wasn't possible to cover everything! Big grin

Quote from gu3st :I really wouldn't put the Logitech G wheels (bar G Pro) in the same category as the T300. The T300 is quite a significant upgrade in force + smoothness compared to Logitech's offering.

Entry level would definitely be Logitech or something like the T148, but then the "mid tier" is definitely T248/T300.

Of course, the explosion of inexpensive DD wheels has definitely pushed the mid tier towards far better hardware than it ever used to be for a relatively minor cost increase. Not that I'd ever buy Fanatec, but a CSL DD is barely more expensive than a T300 with the added fidelity of a DD motor.

I would have to agree with this.

I've owned both the Logitech G29 and Thrustmaster T300 and the FF quality of the T300 is in a superior league over the G29 which feels dull, weaker and muted in comparison.

Excellent opening race! Very entertaining battles and the car and layout track was a brilliant choice! Cool

Quote from Aleksandr_124rus :looks great! Feel free if you want to show moreSmile

To be fair, I was just replying to Eclipsed post.Smile

I'll think about maybe posting some new Kyoto screenshots sometime soon.

Sorry for the delays.

Quote from johneysvk :am i correct in counting 34 grid slots? would've thought it'd be 32 or 40

34 slots, yes.

Is 32 or 40 the common number of grid positions?

Short pitlane, unfortunately. It's similar to Suzuka's West Circuit.

I've already added this config!Smile

I contacted to TFalke about this a couple of years ago because I wanted to give credit to the original layout creator.

Very entertaining race, btw.Thumbs up

Brilliant work, Flame, thanks for doing this.

Nice details in the cockpit instruments and it handles nicely as well.Thumbs up

Hopefully we'll see this cool mod in action on one of the RTFR events in the hands of the experts. Smile

Excellent Mod, excellent broadcast and brilliant close racing!
I had to watch a second time with the mpr in VR and the commentary in the background.

Thanks for the bug find!

You'll see the fix in the next Westhill update.

Quote from adirany :I am not really interested about updates.

It is the strange manner we are treated with.

I think the majority of us are very polite in our posts.

So don't be afraid to speak about LFS.

This forum is here for that.

SPEAKING ABOUT LFS IS ONE WAY TO KEEP IT ALIVE.

It looks like you're not here to have any kind of reasoned discussion about the "state of LFS".

First you suggest that "releasing updates one by one is the right thing to do". When Eclipsed points out that that's what we're trying to do, you then move the goal posts and say you're NOT actually interested in updates anymore and that it's now all about the way you FEEL how you're being treated.

Looks like you have a problem with being honest. No one here with any integrity is interested in having a discussion with a dishonest person. You are not here in good faith. You are here to troll for attention.

Take some time out for wasting our time.

OK, 2 more configs should be easy enough to add. Smile

It can't be done as a patch for the current version, though. Sorry about that.

I like Radicals so I'm looking forward to this.

I was planning to base a race version of the LX6 on the Radical back in the day.

Quote from Eclipsed :Wow,didn't expect such chat here as usually the event activity ends with results,but nice to see some feedback and discussions to make the thread more alive.


I hope seeing racing like this will inspire you when building tracks - Westhill's support roads have turned out great for racing as it's something else than just plain sterile courses. Maybe in future some track could receive a bit wider support/access roads and better transition between those and main track for something like LeMans style track. Just throwing out ideas. Shrug
.

Actually I've been watching the Youtube replays on a regular basis for the last 10 months or so and trying to catch up on some past events, too. Yes, it's very inspiring. Listening to expert commentary with real knowledge about the cars, tracks and drivers and seeing how well the races are organized and presented makes me wish I could provide you guys with better material to work with much sooner. Trust me I'm pushing to get these track updates ready for testing! Sorry for the wait.

I agree, access roads for the tracks are the way to go and they should have been thought about during the original design period. Also I have been paying attention to the track modifications used for these events and I've made some changes to the updated tracks based on that. No doubt I'll need some feedback on these changes during the testing stage.

Not trying to derail the thread, but it is kind of related.

Quote from Viperakecske :Yea i understand what u meant

He mentioned it was track limits,i replied whit "eric says no"

Your right, sorry about that!

I'll go get my morning coffee and get back to work.

Quote from three_jump :I totally agree, and it's nearly impossible to enforce all the time anyway (hello F1). Not sure that your solutions (FE Green Chicane Did I Say That? ) are safe either, even though they enforce track limits rather hard Big grin

Big grin Yes those chicanes were created back in the day when I used rock hard tyres on the apexes! I'm trying to think of solutions a bit less barbaric these days Nod

Quote from Viperakecske :Eric says no,so its a no Na-na

But here is your video

Actually I meant no, the track limits WASN'T violated.

Quote from three_jump :Not having raced due to other commitments (and neither will next week Frown), but I'd say it's a track limits violation/cutting for simply driving through track objects (pole). If it's over the white line, dunno - that needs a video/mpr.

But it seemed fun Big grin

If this was an FIA event with 100,000 Euros worth of prize money, then track limits should be strict. But those types of limits would ruin what looked like a fun event, I think.

Quote from Viperakecske :So,did i? Cool

Well, for the track limit standards consistent in this race series, NO, in my opinion. Smile
Eric
Developer
That was a very entertaining race!
I didn't catch the live stream but I watched the Youtube replay. Then I HAD to download the LFS replay to see if Gabor violated the track limits with that last lap dive!Big grin
Eric
Developer
Impressive and very professional work!

I'm loving the high standards you've acheived so far. Good luck with the texturing.Smile
