FBM although a nice car i only like at certain tracks, this isn't one of them for me :(

I think thats where it becomes a challenge :)
We run these competitions all the time (we've ran 3 so far) and the prizes are more than decent considering we are not making money off this :)
We do this to help the community out, by joining and participating you'll help us out.
The bigger we get the bigger the prizes get.

I'm not that sure:scratchch:DUnless someone beats the current WR, he just sends the replay and he's done.

It would be better if it were hlvc spr's too, yeah? I mean, easier to sort out in the long run. You can't have wind and the other stuff you can have on multiplayer ;)

The entries have to be from the date AFTER the competition release
I can check the modified date of the replay :)

I think it's fairly simple to "cheat" with that, even for people who aren't computer experts :) But I'll say no more ;)

There's a few fixes you could use. You could force people to use the new test patch, which I believe is incompatible with existing WR replays (correct me if I'm wrong).
Communicate via LFSW as well. If someone sends a replay, use an LFSW message to contact the username in the replay. If it's the real driver then fair play; if they've tried to cheat then the real record-holder gets a (sur)prize :)

I'll leave it upto the hands of the entrants, I'm an honest guy, its not much to ask for an honest entry on a great server like this one :)
I'd think that the people who are likely to cheat in this would be even more likely to already own this game as a pirated copy :)

Polepositiondriver, start a competition when patch 0.6A will be released - there will be no problems with cheaters at all.

We've already had a few competition entries so to be fair i'll keep running it.
But thanks very much for the suggestion Shadowww,

How about make them do it ONLINE.. anyone can find an empty server? That way there's no possible way they could cheat. :shrug:

You could still technically use the car tweak in multiplayer if there is someone online.
We'll see how it goes :)
Thanks though haha

But then, when you tried to view the replay, it would give you an oos-error. :)

Just a thought about doing the contest online, could this be of any help? If someone is willing to set up a server for the competition? Instead of doing it as a replay contest? :shrug:

Trouble is, that seems to be a bit hit-and-miss, when I use tweak and watch replays sometimes I get an OOS error, sometimes I don't.

..and yet i see not one reference to two of the best sims on the market.. iRacing and netKar pro.
With RSC being down for a while this would surely be the ideal time to try and grab the iRacing and nKPro communities that used to post over there.
Good luck with the site anyhow.

Nice to see you have sections for them now:thumbsup: But you've got nKpro described as a kart game:shrug: It has absolutely nothing to do with karts.
No point having a nice looking site if it's poorly researched ;)
I'll happily post links for your site at other places when the information is correct :)
Good luck.

are you trying to get people away from LFS? :D
polepositiondriver
27th February 2009, 05:52
Not at all :)
You'll always see me on LFS, it was the first racing games community I really got into so I like to keep upto date :)
Its also the first game title on my forum, and were supporting 19 teams now so its most definitely still a favourite :)
