Need more space

[[RDSR] Morreboy]

Hi [TC] CityDriving
On your servers there can be space to 32 people but i was thinking can you or can you not do so you make more space on your servers because when you really wanna play on then server it´s full. When the server it´s full, there´s people who´s AFK and that sucks

Use the search function, there's multiple people who suggested the same thing.
Outcome: No.

Why? LFS only allows 31/32 cars to be on track at the same time. Increasing the allowed amount of connections doesn't let any more people on track, so you'll have people spectating, doing nothing.

What KaraK said.

Also, there are two servers, take advantage of that.

To elaborate on what KaraK said:

The maximum number of cars on track is 32. We choose to allow only 30 public cars. The other 2 server slots are reserved for [TC] Team Leaders and Chuck should they need to get onto the server quickly.

LFS Allows 47 physical connections but if we were to implement that, people would be stuck in spectate.

It's less frustrating to be stuck outside of the server than it is to be stuck in spectate, thus, 32 maximum connections.

Also, remember we have 2 servers. A couple of days ago both servers were almost full so don't be naive to the fact that both are actually used.

I would expect that with the latest connection optimisations in 0.6E, the max cars will be increased in the future -- or at least you can hope!

Until then, what Lamp says is true.

The whole pit-lane system will need reworking if it goes above what it currently is. There wouldn't be enough garages.

[[TC]►BP◄]

They (LFS developers) could probably use the old pit garages, but I don't know.

it could works only at cruise servers, so... I won't be caunt on it :/
impossible to do at Ky1 and many other tracks.
even at open config tracks ie KY32, AS11 etc. "track" use only 'main' pit garages.

[[TC]»Pete«]

No. That would only apply to open configurations. Tracks with only one pit-lane would be limited to 32 unless the garages were redesigned.

[[RDSR] Morreboy]

Ok

[[TC]»Elmo«]

Most tracks actually have at least 36 garages, so increasing the software limit by a few in future wouldn't be too hard to do.
KY1/2 has a LOT more: 29 *double* garages, plus 2 more with shutters, so that's 58-62 unique spawn spots with minimal track changes.

[Cola]

It would be really awesome if both main pits and old pits could be used on the cruise servers. (ie. at Aston)

I'm up for this, be nice to have 40+ players on server nice traffic, nice cop chases etc

Well, it's not possible on [TC]'s side. The LFS devs are the only ones which could do this.

But even with that said, I think it's fine with 30 players (or something) maximum. I think more than that would be overcrowded, accidents everywhere and then there'd be loads of complaints about your chase being smashed into, etc.

[Orange™]

I was thinking this. Also you prob need 1-2 more admins on to over shadow it all.
