i'm offended by your shocking abuse of the english language and the total lack of worth of your post. Now go away and come back when you have a better idea. (and when you can spell better...)

Quote from KMSpeed :
All the above imho are not very difficult to get fixed in a single patch.

LOL! All these really easy little tweaks to the a.i. makes me wonder why on earth no-one has sorted it all out before. Have you tried asking Scawen for a job, maybe help him get S3 sorted, that should only take a few more patches? Two, maybe three weeks work

Quote from Tweaker :But Scawen has said himself that after patch X he wants to get started on fixing the AI. And he invisions it being a long haul of hard work to get them working right, and maybe just a few weeks to get a few kinks knocked out currently, but nothing perfected. Since Scawen has mentioned it, I think it is highly likely that AI will start to undergo improvements for Y.

Saying that he will start work on the AI after patch X release is a very different statement to saying that patch Y will have all the ai issues sorted out, which your earlier post sort of implies. This is inaccurate and misleading. Be nice though, wouldn't it?

Quote from Tweaker :The AI are currently in development, and should be fixed sometime after Patch X (I guess Patch Y). For a while now the AI have never worked right, so be patient, they will be fixed soon.

I guess fixing the AI will take far more than the next patch. I think a better guess might be S3 but I'm purely speculating. Don't raise your hopes for a fully functional a.i. with patch Y!

OK, I'm sick of this stuff too. Could you tell?

Raaz: "Playing for a couple of years" and can't manage to save up £1 per month for the full game?
This may seema bit harsh but with this lame attitude why on earth do you imagine anyone would rush to your aid? Sooner or later you will have to learn to stand on your own feet and start to live up to the realities of life. The people around you are not there to make your life easier, they are there to compete with you. Don't be such a wet loser, if you really want the game, think of a way of earning the money needed rather than adding to the other lame begging letters that keep appearing on this forum. It's pathetic.

The sort of people that cause this offence are not part of the valuable community that supports LFS and on-line racing. Luckily they are a very small minority but it is inevitable with the www that people will be offended in some way by the actions of the abusive fraction,; immature and insecure people who hide behind the annonymity of the internet.
The devs cannot take responsibility for the quality of on-line play.
I choose not to let my kids play online yet as they are not, in my view, old enough to handle the possibilities of the insults and foul language that exists on the internet, and I choose not to expose them to it, so that is the choice at the end of the day - it is sadly virtually impossible to police thus must be either faced, ignored or avoided by staying offline. Even if they did not know the colour of your skin, there is also the fraction that decide for a laugh to start calling people naz!s if they see a german flag, it's not really a racist or political slur, the sort that come out with these comments really don't understand the true concept of the term, they are just trying to wind people up; provoke a response. The best thing to do is not allow them to provoke a response in you. If they see you are offended then they have won and they move on to try again against someone else.

Birds prefer quiet county trees and bushes, not noisy smelly race tracks. Maybe the odd crow jumping down to nibble off some piece of roadkill before the cars come round for the next lap...that would really complete my entire on-line racing experience. Watch the sicko's swerving off the racing line to clip the crow. Reminds me of Half Life 2 where you can go round wasting your bullets on the crows and the seagulls.

having yourself and your crash target removed from a server due to virtual death will play right into wreckers hands, imo, and would generally be an idea to file away in the big pants section.

This started out as a post for help on graphics cards, but as we all know LFS is cpu-hungry, not GPU.
I got slated last month with geeks sneering at my cheap gpu which was 'well below par' for the rest of the system. Thing is, with LFS, you can use a cheaper budget gpu with no problem as long as you have the cpu power.
The problem then hits with other games where gpu-resources are more important. But we're here for lfs so it's a question of priorities.

its not obligatory to pay, if you want the 1024 skins to auto-d/load the £1 per 2000 skins helps towards the extra bandwidth costs.
If you don't want them and are happy to continue with the 512 skins then simply don't pay the £1.
Its called a choice.
Oh, and it also empties out old skins not seen on line any more, after a certain time period.

Happy to pay a £1 for crisper graphics online. It makes quite a diffference tot eh whole look of the game, and I am into skins big time anyway.

Shocking! For me the choice is simple: in honour of Star Wars 30th anniversary in May all avatars should bear homage to that great genre.

yes, all the textures are in the dds folder, you need to use a dds plugin so you can edit the texture file and resave it in the right format. See Nvidia texture tools plug in for a free applet.

Looks like a very nice strat, if it plays as well as it looks then you have a great guitar.
I have built a few guitars myself over the past year, but not attempted a neck from sctratch yet. There's a couple of them, bodies made from an old slab of mahogany fireplace I ripped out that play really sweet.
They will always be very special to me.

my view is that religion asose as a social tool to help unite people and to drive them to some common purpose. What happened here is nothing to do with religios beliefs, but some sick misguided individuals twisting religion to suit their misplaced causes. So many bad things are blamed on religion though it is really their abuse of religion that they use as justification. I'm not religious at all, i see it as a social crutch that a lot of people find great value in, just that I'm not one of them.
What happens time and time again is that politics gets hold of religion and uses it in a wrong way to suit their own purpose. That's not religions fault; its mans abuse of it.

Driving a RWD car in a fast, balanced way is a little about unlearning the good techniques for the front wheel drive. The fast guys turn in very early and use more accelerator to drift out the back end a touch which helps swing the nose more into the corner. With the fwd this would just lead to more understeer and you will run off into the gravel on the outside of the bend. No expensive garage bills here so try it, loosen up the back and be positive on an early turn-in, give it some gas before the apex and feel the car turning in more. Too much and you'll lose the back end. Too little and you'll run it wide. A little opposite lock to straighten out as you exit the bend, gradually increasing the throttle and you're away!

Quote from deggis :
I guess the devs has a goal to make LFS the most realistic sim ever. Automatic handbrake release shouldn't be part of that plan because it isn't realistic and it could be easily made more realistic without requiring too much regarding controllers ...

I recently got the new Passat with the auto-hold button, no manual handbrake at all, auto-release as the clutch bites. That's a pretty realistic step taken by VW to get closer to the real feeling of driving a simulator.
See, Scawen is so way ahead of you and the industry

Since the demo is free, it certainly is well worth the money

Long before LFS took over my life I was an active member of a forum called Soar, that was dedicated to bolting on clever bits of software onto Micro$oft flight sim in order to recreate cross-country gliding competitions with thermals, varios, off-line race courses, etc. Great for me as an old glider pilot.
Now I see there are 2 competing bits of software addressing this exact sport; Silent Wings and Condor, with accurate thermals and task setting, good flight physics but somewhat disparate graphics. Does anyone here with a Flight sim interest and especially gliding have any knowledge of these 2 progs?

Which one is the best to spend the money on?
