Amateur.

Use "print" key on your keyboard (it's usually around home, del, page up and down) and then just open paint and go to edit/paste.

I use CTRl + printscreen key for a full screen screenshot OR ALT + printscreen key to a window screenshot! I think it doesnt work if i press only printscreen key!

But...TS should have a shortcut to take one! I guess i will have to update the NSGP VS TS thread cause NSGP has it!

F8 it is....

Well, by now you're probably so rusty that you WOULD drive lines like that... or did you wank 589238782738 laps locally while you didn't have interwebs?

He´s alive and...should be given more credit for the fantastic videos he makes! I just dont understand how such quality videos only have few views like 200!

I have to admit this, yesterday i was about to go to bed and i saw the post from Shyguy which has a signature to his youtube channel. I decided to press the link and....decided to have a quick look on Turbosliders.com F1 League Race 10 - 2011 video.

Well, i went to bed at 4AM because of that! couldnt stop watching it and saw it till the end! Great stuff!!!

@Shyguy Man, you should try to find something where you can apply your video/moderator skills. Unfortunately TS doesnt bring you much i guess. One thing is for sure, if someday i need a guy to make this kind of things i know already who i would think of, specially if it would involve some money.
Small offtopic: Which program do you use to make the editing? Premiere? Final cut?
See if you show up one of these days for a race and another fantastic video. I would like to make part in at least one of those!

Przemator, last lap, 3 corners to the end -_-

Thx for good fight Alfonso, could be so close on the finish line

Post by **Whiplash** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 8:26 pm

Track was...hmm, let me find a correct word........bad. Terrain of the road was really frustrating (stucky). Also, that pit ruined my race pretty much. Pls, don't experiment with the pit. For some reason there was a wall that looks like a ordinary white line. How could I make a difference??? If tracks were released before, that could have sense maybe. Also, kerbs are really bad. They look just unnatural (they are too wide; almost 2 cars could be parked on them).

About the race, it was very confusing at the beginning. I expected T and dede to make a gap earlier, but somehow that didn't happen.
From my point of view this race was much more fair than others. That's probably cause I didn't experience any traffic.

Great race, great result. Only problem that i had was that my fingers started to go numb in last 10-laps, lost little bit my concentration there but overall really happy about the result.

Afinfas · Post by **Afinfas** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 8:43 pm

First of all...thanks guys for the race! I had great great fun! I never though i could have loads of fun fighting for 9th place!!!

I guess i have too many wins on my CV!

Its always very hard to have a notion of what happens on the race cause i still dont really interpretate the stats very well. If thers something i really hate is that theres no live stats from postion. We always have to wait for the end of the lap to know which place you are! Or am i wrong???

Anyway...szymek66 and I had a great battle almost whole race. At first i saw that white and red car in front and thought. No way, its one of the fast guys, i will never reach him but...i was slowly catching up and i eventually catched him (maybe after 10 laps or so, at least it felt like!

). Funny was, when i did pass him, right after he went to pit! LOL
To resume...in the end he was catching up again as i was loosing concentration and maybe feeling the pressure of being in a great position (considering its only my 3rd race). But he didnt make it cause there was some traffic on the track on last lap and he got stuck on it. Prezemator it was...the orange car!

I dont know what would have happened if he didnt showed up or interfered but...i believe i would have defended the position and get 9th in the end!

Very happy with the result!

Once again...was great fun...and i think the NSGP guys dont like it so much cause it needs some time to get used to it, and who comes from a much slower game like NSGP has a hard time to get used to the speed of TS and to the fact that turns come more quickly!

See you next week i guess...fighting for first 10 places i hope.
At the beginning i didnt really enjoyed the track but in the end i was starting to understand it and gave fun!

You're wrong. Use TAB. It gives live stats every lap.

Something tells me this guy is me. Started with bad fuel strategy. I decided to stay one more lap on the track to empty my fuel tank perfectly. But I didn't consider that my tires are already fucked up.

I was like a turtle.

-.- just came home from a party...i told some people i gotta be back at 20 cet, forgot to put alarm clock, forgot the time, and the people didnt remind me as well..

gonna drive now:
laps (warmup pre-quali quali race) (5 8 5 24)

post the totaltime here..in order to somewhat compare to the racetotaltimes..which i dont know yet

so far..
warmup 67.00x or so with pit in lap 2 or 3
prequali 64.923..with one not so good curve

edit
quali 65.792 with 61%

edit2

[x] Mike Nike pos 1 (time: 26:49.207, 24 laps), best lap: 20 (1:05.491) F1-Premium 58af2044
Lap times: 1:08.154 1:06.776 1:06.679 1:06.916 1:07.245 1:06.286 1:07.476 1:15.041 1:05.640 1:05.501 1:05.935 1:05.498 1:05.954 1:06.129 1:07.071 1:15.874 1:05.933 1:05.513 1:05.501 1:05.491 1:06.133 1:06.742 1:05.999 1:05.720

- at least 3 ~65.5 laps with each 1 mistake
- in the end 66.7 lap with 2 unnecessary sanddives...1 very deep one
- trying to get that mid/high 64.x lap or so..at least 2 times too high risk..so..maybe around 2-3 sec wasted alone due to hunting a fast lap..

in the end it seems this would be a somewhat max place 4 performance only, concerning tijny had a connection problem. startplace 5ish..
maybe i woulda tried to drive faster when basicly competing with lanz, dunno

Hevonen · Post by **Hevonen** » Sun Nov 25, 2012 10:27 pm

Good race for me overall.. 7th place.

I did like the track most parts but kerb areas were a bit weird. A bit boring but it fitted me.

One of my best qualis (6th place).. but Whip won me.

Biggest problem was the lag. Had no big problems in quali but race was just horrible.. sometimes my car was just bumping from side to side. Luckily that didn't cause anything serious but just made me slower overall. Don't know if im playing all of the upcoming races with that shit mobile connection. It wasn't even raining this time.

Pretty good start and race. In the first laps I had some collision with Matic and he went out. Don't know if it was my fault but sorry. After first pitstops I was escaping from Whip and John. Before second pitstops I had maybe 3 seconds lead to John and decided to stay one lap more than him. That was mistake because somehow he managed to pass me.

The tires are just so shit below 50%. Also I had massive lag at that point. Then I chased him to the end of the race and managed to overtake one lap before finish. Then I drove badly and gave him way pretty easily. Maybe I should have just blocked him like he did to me once but decided to be fair because it was last lap and yes he deserved it. Fair and good fight.

Ok, i just checked once again on replay. Theres no live stats in what the position concerns! You have it for damage and fuel but not for position! Or am i completely blind??

About the red and white car...no, it was really szymek66 not you.

Standings updated (1 race excluded): Link

Wop, third win in a row! I failed to find good safe lines at the beginning (warmup+pre) and I really never managed to drive a fast lap without mistakes. In qualify I drove a decent lap and I stopped driving, although I expected a couple of guys to do better. Luckily the short qualifying session and possibly the long track helped me to get the pole position!

In the race I failed again to set the pace, so I had to give way to Lanz and nearly to Pingu as well. When I managed to find some pace, I started to catch Lanz. I planned a 2 stops strategy, but when I saw Lanz going into pit I thought "hey, 8-16-24.. that's how everybody plan to do it, let's skip it to next lap to avoid collisions in pit". This strategy change gave me troubles with fuel calculation and made my race harder (Lanz gained time on pit-out lap). Also, fuel strategy wasn't good: I had too much fuel from the beginning (had to wait extra time for tyres during pits, fuel was ok already). In last stint I had the advantage of 1 lap fresher tyres, it was easy to complete the race without troubles then!

similar opinion.
at the beginning bah (but still better than that "thin kerbs track" with less "steerings/minute")
later, when understanding the track a lil better i still didnt like some curve combis...but it felt okayish.
i didnt like the normal heavy slowdown if you go offroad..
kerbs: at some point i missed having one (left upper side maybe)..and at some points i wished that kerbs could start earlier. all around okay though.
a plus for the kerbswidth and laplength

somewhat solid mix of curve combis as well (3rd last curve or so i just hate though^^)

Is there a track dl link? Replay?
Would like to watch, even though I missed this one

PS. Is it possible to have standings with the cut system implemented? So it'd be without the 2 worst results of all drivers. Shyguy, I remember, did it so well.

Pingu · Post by **Pingu** » Mon Nov 26, 2012 9:24 am

nah Alfonso you are right there arent life stats per position, only when you cross the finish line as you said

Here, you can have my replay to have a look but better to wait for dede´s one or?

Hmm, you should notice that TAB button shows 3 types of stats. If you press it once, yeah, it will show fuel, damage and stuff, but if you press it once again it will show the live stats of positions in the bottom of the screen. Amateur.
