LfS Add-ons

It's worth checking these before you jump in and install them. If you have a collection of real ads these will be replaved by higher res versions of the originals. i.e. Scavier, live for speed Germany :sideways: etc. You know, the made up ads. The Blackwood pits dds files, 3 of them are ok. I scoured the dds folder and there was nothing of any consequence in it, but then again I may already have everything. except the straw bales but you know how I like straw bales! :norty:  The point is the size of the 'new' one are the same as the 'old' ones. Just check them out first.

Try this I can only think he's named it 'unrealistic' because the default shine is unrealistic. It sure looks better to me though. Worth a pop. Backup your originals just in case.

HERE is some very nice real ads and hoardings etc. You'll want the bottom link. Attached is my Yokohama tyre bridge which goeas better with the Advan hoarding ads than the Bridgestone one. That's the only change I made to this pack. Like they say; enjoy.

I have put this pack made by sharkboots in a more accessible place. It includes the Doorman bridge file.

Hello, racers and server administrators!

After about 9 months of intense development, debugging and polishing on the AirAttack servers I believe the time has come to offer you a completely new LFS tracker â€" Airio. It is an InSim application designed to connect to a dedicated LFS server and provide extensive services to both racers and administrators.

First, I'd like to present here some (really, just some) points that make Airio unique for users and admins:

What may racers like:
Many settings, all available through graphical interface (selections are made by clicking on buttons, see the attached picture)
Selectable user language (one click changes all user messages)
Complete personal customization (what information is shown and in what form)
Detailed timing info on all split points (including sector times and comparisons with selectable base)
Extensive personal stats (theoretical best, best race time, points gained)
Protection from other racers (using many configurable filters such as bad language or wrong-way driving)
Easy access to LFSW stats (own and other connected peoples', if properly configured)
Automatic restarts, track rotations, vote management, racing for set number of minutes
About 30 user commands in many variations (showing all kinds of race/server stats, allowing customization)

What will interest administrators:
One instance of Airio may connect to several LFS servers at the same time (to save resources and to ease the site management)
All servers connected to one Airio instance use common stats (no synchronization necessary)
It is possible to define people with limited admin rights for partial server management (kicking, restarting; altogether approx. 10 additional commands)
Many advanced filters are available (lagging checks, locking by LFSW/server lap time, limiting car setup options such as tyres or automatic gears)
Everything is configurable using extensive options in external text files (more than 100 items to tweak)
All settings and options can be updated "live", while Airio is running (no reconnect/restart is necessary)
LFS Lapper PB file import and export (on demand or periodical e.g. for Web stats)
All actions and events are saved into detailed system log (allowing to see later what happened and why)
It offers several options to communicate with users (text shown on connect, periodically displayed messages, server rules/notes)
About 15 admin commands are available (allowing manipulations with stats, showing servers' state, joining and parting LFS servers)
Requires .NET 2.0, works in Windows and also under Linux with Mono

The above are just some of the possibilities and options. To read a bit more and to see the Airio settings screen and some output data browse to Airio Features Overview. To see Airio in action visit "www.airattack.co.uk #1" or "www.airattack.co.uk #2" demo servers. You may see Airio managing S2 servers at "[AA] AirAttack Rally" and "[AA] AirAttack Racing". Note that all four above mentioned servers (plus two external) are controlled by one running Airio instance with all the advantages such arrangement offers.

Airio is a complex system; still it can start to work for you (and your users) after updating just one text file â€" entering data necessary to connect to a LFS server. To fully grasp all options and the meaning of some not readily understandable items read the Airio User Manual and the Airio Admin Manual. Be warned though, these documents are rather lengthy, simply because the application requires it. On Airio Home Page you'll find other sections of interest, such as FAQ or Full Version Manual.

Well, if you have a feeling this sounds interesting, just Download Airio Now (optionally with language pack), set up your connection to a dedicated LFS server and run it. You'll get a powerful tool for yourself and you'll also offer racers fully customizable racing environment with lots of data or none at all, just as anyone wishes and likes. You may also create very strict or lenient racing environment, just as you wish and desire.

There have been people contacting me earlier and asking where they can get the system for their own servers. They usually said it is currently the best tracking system running anywhere. While I will not comment on that statement, I’d like to add that they have seen only the user part, but most of the innovative things are in fact in the administration part, hidden from regular racers.

[Doorman]

Well! :blink: That looks very interesting. I'll pop along and take a gander.

I've discussed using it on the Demo server with Ben. Nothing but glowing reports so far it must be said.

I've seen it on their servers and from a user perspective it works well.  Only supports text files for data storage at present, but does give details of how those files are laid out... just means you have to do file handles instead of SQL queries, but gives rise to the disk fragging issue...

I've downloaded it and it's residing in the main LFS folder. It's got cock-up written all over it if touched by Doorman. :blink: Can't think why. :g:
