Lol, for everyone in this thread who's scared of spiders, I saw this out on a walk today.
That's Bergade's hand next to it, for a size comparison. You can tell she's not afraid of spiders

As far as I know, Logitech wheels don't work in Vista. It doesn't recognize my DFP either. That was with Beta 2 though, I just installed RC1 yesterday, so I'll have to try with that.
The best advice I can give is to keep an XP install, lol. Sucks if you didn't though :-\ Vista is still WIP, and some stuff doesn't work yet, as you've found out...

I really don't understand why people feel the need to master the demo cars before moving on and buying S2. There's no test you have to pass to buy a license, and I'd personally much rather have more cars to choose from.
And to all demo racers, please, please, please, please don't worry about "clogging" up S2 servers. I have never ever seen anyone in an S2 licensed server angry about a new player driving slower around the track. The vast majority of Licensed players will be glad to help you get the hang of it. I remember when I first got S1, back a long time ago, I was having trouble with the XRG ar Fern Bay green. DSRC Nazzard and (at that time) (DMR)GenerAl spent probably 2 or 3 hours teaching me how to drive the car and the track. It was an experience I'll never forget. It's not an isolated one either, but it's the one that sticks in my mind. I try to offer as much help as I can to new players, I'm not the fastest, but I can help a bit. Please, buy a license, you'll be much much happier.
P.S. no, the devs did not pay me to write this, this is 100% honest.

The first corner at WE1R gets me every time, I cannot take it to save my life.
The first corner at BL1R is amazing, especially in the road cars
Anything at South City is great stuff, gotta love the bumps
The Aston corkscrew is a ton of fun to get right, not so much fun when you get it wrong.
There are so many great corners in the LFS tracks, you really can't choose just one. Eric Bailey is a very very talented track designer, we need some of his tracks in RL

I actually like that idea quite a bit, as that's what you'd be looking at in RL +1 from me
This is tough, there's a lot...
I've gotta say Grand Prix Legends, there's nothing like it. For 1998 it was absolutely mindblowing. It still is very very impressive, and so much fun to play.
Cart Precision Racing. This was my first "Sim" or at least tried to be a sim. This game introduced me to setting up a car.
Monster Truck Madness 2. I spent more time on this game than I care to admit. Not a sim, not even close, although the physics actually felt pretty good. Just a blast to play
Honorable Mentions
Richard Burns Rally. I don't actually own this game, and I haven't been playing it very long at all, so I can't really put it in this list, I know it will be though.
Geoff Crammond's original Grand Prix. This was my very very first racing game, so it has to be here
Crap, I forgot Sportscar GT, too

There really is nothing like seeing the personal life of a celebrity
And yes, Scawen is a celeb, at least to anyone active in LFS, hehe

Is there any way to get the full version anymore?
My God, that's two in one week. Wow....
Not a good week for the Aussies, He'll be sorely missed

I like this suggestion the best of any
This game is a little bit too much fun, LOL I'm actually quite impressed with the physics, judging by the graphics I was expecting a streets of simcity feel, but they're not bad. They could use a better tire model though :P
Lots of fun though

This probably belongs somewhere else, but why does the F12 menu only work online, I've done endurance tests before offline, and it would have been handy
I've been 96 GTS literally forever. It was the account I registered on my very first forum, so I feel it's a part of me. However, I race LFS as (NASSA) Ryan.
Ryan Windfeldt, 19, nice to meet you all

Mud/grass in the grill would be really cool, I think. So would engine failures in general.

Steve Irwin was awesome. He was absolutely perfect for his role. I can't believe he's gone, I just can't

It's been said before, but put pressure on the driver in front of you. Come really close behind them, pull to the inside in braking zones, then pull back in behind them, anything that takes their concentration away from driving and puts it on you.
The're more likely to go off for two reasons, A) they're not paying attention to the road as much, and B) They're most likely going to try to drive faster, which makes it more likely that they'll miss a braking point or an apex.
The easiest way to gain a position is to have someone give it to you

Hehe, fun video. I'm pretty sure we've all had new class "Experiences" like that 
Overclocking is a good way to improve framerates in LFS, up to a point. Too high and you start getting math errors.
I overclocked my P4 2.8 up to 3.2 and got a 35fps increase in the LFS benchmark. I have it back at 3.0, just for my peace of mind, but it runs cool as a cucumber, I never top more than 45C.
I've since turned on AA and AF, so my framerates are down quite a bit, and since I have a slow cars (Radeon 9550) it's graphics card limited. Looks sooooooo much better though, lol.

It so bugs me whenever people say to change the wheel rotaion in the profiler, lol. If you turn wheel turn compensation to 1 in LFS, turn the rotation to 900 in LFS, and turn the rotation to 900 in the profiler, it's perfect for every car, LFS automatically adjusts for you, much easier than switching for every car.
<edit>I connected to my desktop over my VNC to make sure of my settings, I'm amazed that LFS was able to run over a VNC, in my experience, very few programs can</edit>

I've used positive camber at FE Club in the XFG with some sucess, too.
I'd like to see this as an option as well. I realize that Scawen doesn't like programs connecting to the internet when they don't have to, and I wholly agree, but a setting to turn off LFSW connection on offline mode wouldn't be bad, I'd think
