Just an info about my system specs and what I've paid, maybe you can get a picture of where to save some money.
C2d 6550 boxed(as fast as the 6600) 150€
2x1gig of geil ram 100€
sapphire radeon hd2600xt 130€
nesteq 450W 70€
sharkoon rebel9 eco 35€
msi p35 neo2-fr 100€
That's a nice rig for 585€ (something around 400 pounds), I took the hdds and dvd burner out of my old computer.
My screen is an acer al2216wd, YES, it's a bloody tft and it was cheap, but its enough to play, do skins and watch tv on.
On a normal lfs installation I get at least 100 frames (at 60Hertz :-)), mostly around 180. I've got high res skins, tyres, tracks and the like, full graphics and still around 100 fps.
IMO you should buy stuff to USE, not to show off having good numbers standing in your sig. Don't ask for a new 911 when you can only afford some used Vauxhall ;-)

... on the other hand I'm almost 30 and can't drift nor race properly ;-)
I think to be competitive you need to learn both. There is no better show than a good 4-wheel drift in a fast race, and seeing some guys do their show on drift servers is a pleasure as well.
To be honest nowadays there are many many people online who can't race AND drift, and I promise you'd own them even if you were 5 years of age.
My advice is: race and drift as you like, compete, improve and when you've collected some experience and grown some cojones you can maybe go in one direction.
have fun practising!

Lastfall EG II zeigt an der Schweißnaht Spannungswerte, die etwas über dem kritischen Niveau liegen. In dieser Größenordnung kann dies aber ohne weiteres an der simplifizierten Geometrie der Schweißnaht liegen. Inwiefern diese Geometrie vom Original abweicht, muss von XXX beurteilt werden.

By the way...
I can give detailed information on how to repair broken paddles, but if you've still got warranty then the support is very friendly and helpful! Even when your wheel is older than 2 years the people there send you a new set of replacement paddles including material and a plan on how to open the wheel etc.

Oh another thing: If you guys feel bored, why not join a league? I don't want to force to anything special, but I think it would be a great waste of time seeing the "old" forum sluts actually race against each other! Might be quality!!!
Again, this is not an ad of any league!

LFS-wise everything is in perfect order. Maybe we ARE a spoilt bunch of kids, since the game is getting better and better and we keep moaning :-)
RL is quite a pita, I'm beginning to study, move in with my girlfriend, quit the easy life of a weekend relationship and have to do homework once more... But how should I say it... every challenge lets us grow.

What about apple then? If I buy an ipod I have to use itunes, until some freak tells me how to run everything fine and even easier with winamp. The iphone is locked to a 1-provider contract and has to be unlocked to even work with let's say vodafone. Telecom, e-on, shell and many others try to ruin competitors with illegal price agreements, buying other big companies and the like.
Yes, I use microsoft only because I play games, and my installation is completely legal but haxx0red to the max. If they started bulloxing companies for being monopolists though, they'd have to get money from ALL of them.

RGT pro works fine here. After 1 1/2 years of hard usage the shifter paddle almost broke, but that Problem is easy and fast to fix. Apart from that it's a good wheel. I've got it for more than 2 1/2 years now.
No ball bearings getting loose
No Pedal spiking
No problems with setting the thing up (no profiler or other sh**needed)
enough buttons on the wheel
much heavier that dfp
good grip
3 pedals in the new version (I've got the old one still)
So if you don't behave like a blacksmith behind the wheel it should be great. At least for me it is :-)

Strange topic...
Just be sure, whoever used the hack will be banned from all upcoming zwr events and servers, even if he only "tried" it once.
There is no place for cheaters here, they are ruining the game for everyone else.

Not meaning this in a bad way, so don't see this post as bananathing.
If I want to have a car, I'll have to pay for it. If I am in a sports club and need some equipment, then I'll have to pay for it. If I get on the bus, I have to pay and if I want to host a server for whatever reason, then It is going to cost a little money.
If your team mates don't want to donate then it is perfectly okay with them, but you shouldn't try and get everything for free.
I could buy a twingo right away now, but I could also start to cry and scream around that I want a Porsche. Noone is going to pay for my 911, I'd have to look around how to get it a bit cheaper, and if I can't afford one now, I'd have to save money and take a cheap offer when I am sure about it.
Why do you need the server 24/7, are you going to host a league or something? you can usually find over 600 mostly empty servers online, and if you want to drive any very special combos try to get in contact with the server owners, maybe they'll change something for you.

Very well said Becky,
it's true, lfs would be TEH ÜBER driving simulator if all of the features mentioned above would be implemented. I don't think that it is possible to program all that, and it should not be the hardest part, remember the awesome physics we have right now! On the other hand I think it MUST be difficult to implement that stuff
-into the existing gamecode
-until tomorrow night at 22:45 uktime
-...and let it run fluently on todays/yesterdays computers.
Hehe, imagine the chat:
1:WTF
1:#2 you made me spin
2:what?
1:you slipped into the gravel 37 laps ago, i slipped because of your debris!

Well, how stupid and arrogant is this? 2 channels don't show the tour de cheat anymore, and ONLY because of the money a private channel jumps in, no matter what had happened?
EVERY F***ING ONE of the drivers and teams knows what's going on, and I'd bet my balls that over 95% have at least doped once. Controls are not strict at all, I could go to my doctor, give him some money, then he'll write that I once had a steel pan welded to my forehead and therefore NEED to take epo, otherwise I'll die. Off to the track I'd go!
I'm not into big arse cheating, damn moneymakers!

Though I don't see a real NEED for new rims I admire your politeness and how you start things. Most Demo users just scream "I WANT PLEEZ", you offer something which MIGHT be very helpful in the future! Thanks for that!
I don't think there will be an option for rims of different sizes since everyone will somehow drive the same sized ones for a certain track, also I believe that you'll need an uber fast computer to run a sim which calculates airstream around spokes!
The rims you're doing atm look really great though, and if my computer could handle different (-styled, not -sized please!) rims on same cars, why not make everybody happy.
My opinion about ricer's stuff is a bit different; I respect people who just go for the optics and want to show off a little, but a) it's not street legal (yees yees, nothing is forbidden in the us ;-)) and b) it's useless/slower in racing. Just my opinion though, I know that there are MANY drifters in lfs, you're also welcome guys!
After all, keep'em coming! Even if your wheels are not going to be implemented, they're still great and show all of us a good way of posting improvement suggestions: DO something, don't just moan ;-)

Haha, that pic in my avatar is a few years old (S1 times), it shows my first LX skin actually ;-)
I've been driving LXs since I've bought lfs, in those days the car was just too much for me, the most mad as hell ride you could get. Since S2 it's become easier, and with the sound model it's just pure fun! When we're both back I'll give it a ride again, just for the fun, maybe the second slowest guy in ZWR (me) can still show you how to get that thing through a corner! Plus I could provide you with some setups and the sound file, I'm particularly proud of it, because it really sounds like your ears are 3 feet away from the exhaust pipe and everytime you put the pedal to the plastic the sound clips, like your ears are "shutting" because of the noise :-)
Maan, I love those cars!

Dru might be away for about 1 month,
Reintjan and Marco are on holidays for... dunno really
I'll go to Scotland and might not be available for the next 3 weeks
Mike is at home in Israel for Holiday... He didn't get killed, YEEEEEEEEEESS!
Still there are many of us left, they just aren't here the whole evening ;-)

May I ask a question? WHAT ON EARTH is "german engineering"?
I actually enjoyed reading this thread, watched it almost slip into the eternal depths of flaming spam hell and had to recognise it went back to a somewhat higher level again
.
@Soul: I enjoy seeing enthusiastic people in the forums, maybe you might want to write some sentences which a german "engineer" also can understand. It's sometimes hard for me to understand you (no offence intended), as I always try to improve my crappy english.
