Next tournament? You choose!

Yup, will you be making the steering angle any wider? I think that also allows for more accuracy and margin for error..

Yes, steering is also reduced especially at high speeds.

I think the best time to have a harder steering angle is probably at lower speeds cos less downforce generated at that time = less grip = less steering angle. Also this allows closer following through the corner and maybe both will have good exits allowing for a good battle in the straight ahead..

So if you go top speed you can also go top speed through the corners since then your steering angle will be the biggest

[shyguy1001]

Not THAT much of a difference, just would be nice if easier to follow but HARDER to gain a significant speed advantage.

When will the weekly wank be with F1 cars? I thought there would be one or am I mistaken

dede will set it up when he come back (at least that's what he said).

[lux2]

One of the best ideas I read here.

I would prefer a more powerful car but your one is still good.

[shyguy1001]

Yeah I think off roading rally would be good, it would take a lot of commitment to make the tracks though. I think the best format would be not in ghost mode but in 1 at a time leaving bang on every 20-30 seconds or something, I am sure it is easy enough to make a script for this? Do it in 1 lap sprint stages and maybe have 4-however many possible stages per event? And each event based on one particular type of terrain (e.g sand, snow, etc.) with maybe a few different surfaces thrown in but all the time keeping to one terrain. Would take a lot of commitment to make the tracks though..

[Whiplash]

I already made lot of suggestions in Suggestions topic to enable an easy and simple playing this kind of copetitions.
The most important would be possibility of using ghost cars that are not visible at all.
But, since we can't have it, the cleanest cup can be if we play it by sending the videos.

Nope, not possible by script. Scripting capabilities are limited to non-gameplay related things.

[shyguy1001]

Surely you could just have a timer that counts down every 30 seconds and we know which order people will start in (and so form a queue) and simply -30,60,90,120 etc. seconds from everyone's time? Similar to the timer which works in say, the practice and qualifying sessions of the F1 league..

[lux2]

...just have... simply...

do it!

I think you can use external scripts/application to run the game in the way you want but once the race is started... it's started!

I think your idea should be possible only by changing the source code and with a big big work. So... maybe will never happen.
The way to turn off the visibility of the cars in ghost mode it's easiest, but once more you have to modify the code so... never (?).

@whip: play in local and send videos i don't think it's a good way.
I play TS because it's nice to fight "live" with other people.

[lux2]

...then stop just before the finish line (probably in a waiting area so as not to block others) and have people start every 30 seconds

This sounds really bad and turns your idea into something like scarts that in my opinion is the most "boringfullynest" thing i've ever seen in TS.

I just want to race... no interest into be a spec or in have "human managed" rules. Just racing... easy racing.
If the game is able to manage the rules OK, if not the chaos will be the only result. Check Scarts thread to have an idea about this. Al they are complaining about is due to "human managed rules".

My idea:
To have a cup with races with 2 laps.
Each race is like a stage.
Using a script you can compile the final classification by adding up the time of the second lap (or the best) of every race.
Something like IHLC but with only 2 laps, rally track and a custom car.
This one seems to me the best way. (at the moment )

Otherwise, it's possible to have short qualyfiyng session (something like a recognition) and then a ghost race with a long grid in order to avoid too much ghost overlapping. But I prefer my first idea.

[shyguy1001]

lux, this is basically del's formation lap idea except you are proposing to go all out at the start.. I like the formation lap idea the best because you can get a preview of the circuit but not a real go at how it feels like.. perhaps the route back to the start line could be a very discreet and subtle small passageway from the finish line and then there would be a "starting box" just a small amount away from the start line which after everyone completes the formation lap, people would wait behind and the next one to go would step into, start at a signal from a timer timing every 30 seconds or so (no need for accuracy as del said the timer would start when you cross the finish line) complete his lap then wait behind the finish line, while others come in. Indeed if 30 seconds was not deemed enough gap between the cars then more time could be taken, but in a maxed out cup 30 seconds would probably be advised as then the whole thing would take 12-15 minutes (per stage).

[lux2]

Yes, but... this is the point:

l...the whole thing would take 12-15 minutes (per stage).

I don't want to loose 15 min to race 1 min. I can say it will be boring before trying it. This is "scart style".

It's just my opinion but I think it 's a nonsense (and then boring) to have a racing game which has rules that prevent you from playing.

[reirom]

STOP THIS BULLSHIT



bring new f1 car btw

i am free in tsb f1 car server there i won all of you


i want TSB FI CUP


I WILL WON


my idea for the next tournament

IS OVAL


WITH F1 CAR LIKE INDY


OVAL ROX


PUT 100 LAPS IN SOME OVALS ONE PIT AND BRING IT
IS f*** AWESOME

[Pingu]

Oval? Thats the most boring ever....

[reirom]

NO OVAL ROX

For God's sake can't you just put reirom on "vacations" from the forum as well. What once was hilarious to read has become trully annoying. I open the forum and all i see is reirom utterly stupid messages popping out all with caps insulting people.

We just have to accept that he sadly was born without something that is usually good to have when you're born a human, the Almighty Brain.

[Whiplash]

Rally race should allow playing for big number of drivers (more then 20). That's why sending videos is the best solution from my point of view.

[Pingu]

Sending video's? Will be a pain for the organiser lol, watching all those replays + you have as many tries as possible which is lame? Or is that just me

[iBlaze²]

You guys have talked about all of these complicated and unnecessary ways to implement the gap between cars in this rally championship you're considering, yet I'm really surprised you've all overlooked the most obvious and easiest solution... Scud-style grids.

Just space them out a bit more and you should have the gap you need without resorting to "human-managed" rules.

Obviously the person in the last grid slot will have a slight advantage to the person in first, but you can set starting positions to fastest lap, so the person who needs that advantage (i.e. the slowest) will get it and the person who doesn't need it (i.e. the fastest) won't get it.

Anyway, just a suggestion for you to consider. Good luck for whatever you decide to do in the end

What once was hilarious to read has become trully annoying. I open the forum and all i see is reirom utterly stupid messages popping out all with caps insulting people.

Unfortunately I have to agree with silcir for once. Sorry reirom, but it's becoming apparent that you're not prepared to take advice when it's given to you - namely the following paragraph:

If you want things to change, you'll just have to change their opinion of you, and I suggest the best way to start that process is to stop posting these nonsense threads, be a man, accept their decision and keep your head down. Remember - the things which are most important don't always scream the loudest - and the more you continue with this silliness and these protests, the more you are likely to be judged as an idiot.

There are only so many times that people can advise you. The rest you have to do yourself and the more you post crap on the forums, the more I have to agree with silcir's words.
