So you installed lfs from a cd? Which version is it? have you applied the latest patch before you started lfs?
Usually if your graphics drivers/cards are bad there is an error message telling you lfs not being able to find your gfx adaptor or something.
I ran lfs with an athlon xp2800+ and an ati 9800pro just fine, also with a 3200+ and 9600xt, today I've got a c2d6550 and an ati 4850, my brother had a pentium4 (3?) at 3GHz with an old nvidia and was able to play the demo just easily.
You should be able to play lfs with just about every computer built in the last 10 years, so I'm afraid you have to keep searching at your side.

Edit: too late. why is a fresh install of windows broken? have you just "gone over" the old one without formatting?

You've got a big point with what you've said, I'd love to have something new to play with in a game I adore. And if one tells anyone else about huge stuff to come soon it better be soon. I've put another 12 pounds on my account 2 years ago, expecting a release at least at the end of 2009...
Maybe I was just lucky to have some more family business in the last 15+9 months, so I couldn't even think of playing, hence my mild mood.
However Ole (my son on some picture in the concept racing team thread) and I just started enjoying "racing" again, and we're going through any game I own. 1nsane, GTR2 and so forth. lfs as a pure racing title is not so interesting atm, but still fun for me whenever I've got an hour during his sleep.
LFS is not dead as long as
-people still enjoy playing it
-other sims prove to be either hellish expensive or dull after 10 minutes of playing.
Development may be dead or not, I really don't care. If [insert lfs update] doesn't come soon then I'll be happy to play s2, nkp, rf1 or 2 or other sims the CR family wanders off to.
And if you are bored Tor, just get your swedish girl in a plane and fly over to the snowy beautiful alps for some sledding or so :-)

First time I agree with a switzerianlandman AND someone from the land of the sinking sand!
1st Shut your whiny traps.
2nd go play, have fun!
3rd if you don't want to play lfs go play something else
4th I'm just enjoying the "old" content after over a year of not playing anything! If I'm bored with lfs I've got nkp. rbr, gtr2, gtl, minecraft and other stuff to play all day long.

Does anyone know if we're gonna be able to buy the game once it's finished? Because I will happily pay a lot for a good sim, I won't even think of playing something that will cost me a tenner a month though!

this is a 25 year old porsche wheel, has 36cm, just about 14 inches.
My old Mini had the same size wheel, usually today's wheels should have something between 35 (sports car), 38 (saloons, hatchbacks) and 42(vans)cms.

Well, I'm absolutely happy with my fanatec set. Best pedals for the money, sturdy as a rock, also there's no need to recalibrate the wheel every 10 minutes while others pass me, I do not even have to call tech support because unlike Logitech my pedals and wheel haven't had any issues yet. Also my wheel is still as silent as in the beginning (maybe even more silent), shows no signs of wear, I can modify the pedals myself to fit my needs/feet in force and travel and don't have to cut squash balls in half, I don't need some stupid extra software other than the drivers....
All these things and the endless logitech G25 failure list in this forum drove me far away from buying logitech wheels.
And don't you say I just hate logitech, I've got a brilliant keyboard and mouse made by them!

The company I work for has got a small public license for LFS, we've used it once so far. I've also replaced a few of the road signs (Cromo or something) with some company logos but left the rest completely unchanged. I've even made my own skins and LFS plates for every car to make sure I'm doing things right!
But god I would love to have a motion buggy simulator!

true that! A cage as a fashion item would be odd for my taste as well. On the other hand there are people who invest 100 000s of euros into let's say an old A4 to make it almost touch the ground, have ridiculous amounts of watts in them, airbrush designs and fluffy carpets, gold plated engines,.......
99% of those cars are never driven on a road, so they don't serve the purpose they were initially designed for. And I don't even like their über-looks. Nevertheless they are made not only with money, but with heart - and that's what I really like.

So let's get this straight: You criticise the owner of a car for building it to look like a race car, then not racing it the moment he finishes building? You even call him a poser?
Well, in my eyes someone here built a nice little car, is proud of it and shows some pictures, as intended in the thread title in the first place.
Then an ugly aussie drug addict with an identity crisis calls him a poser?!
The same guy that just posted how gangsta he is, running a stupid car which - judging by the compliance note - is not even safe on the roads which it's built for, the guy whos friends have to run from the rozzers has to post all this here to feel his e-thing growing while at the same moment calling other people posers?!
I'm driving a car from 1986 with 150hp, neither will I race it, nor will I attend at historic car meets. I bought it because I like its look and feel. I was proud enough to post a few pics and even got some positive replies for my poser car.
So either everyone who drives more than a 10hp cardboard box is a poser or everyone has the right to be proud of the car he drives!

Most of the guys selling those cars simply read the numbers on the miles-dial. But if you're searching for a proper 924 (2.0, S or turbo) you have to know that all those dials were 5 digit! Usually those 924s are more likely to have 391000kms (or roughly 250k miles)on the clock. Best points to see if the car is still good or totally shot are the seams of the seats, rubber seals around the doors, overall engine condition (check leakages --->broken oil seals are a pita to change), vibrations from all moving parts and of course a history of all that's been repaired during the years.
I've got the whole history of my car, every bill has the actual mileage and date on it, so noone could mess with the dial. 350000kms is real, but still thanks to a careful (read totally anal) owner every broken part was fixed/changed immediately. I only have to have it painted before winter :-)
Indeed! If I wanted a Golf II that age and condition I would have to pay much much more!!!! Nah, really, a Porsche 924S is the most sensible way to shove your money out the window!
cheaper than many older cars, completely zinc coated, quite rare these days, cheap as chips insurance, cat converter, so cheap in tax as well, takes less fuel than my old 50hp fiesta.

My son has still some time to learn. At 11 months he is most interested in the FF movements. Also he makes car sounds whenever he sees a noisy car/lorry/tractor.
I hope he'll be more talented than his dad once he's old enough to play racing games!

Great car! My wife had one of those too. You have to take care of every little rusty spot, or the car will be eaten away in a week. Apart from that you can't get anything sturdier on the planet than a beetle!

Go for the fanatec pack!! I don't know about the stand, but my fanatec wheel is just so much better than the G25/27s I had to play with occasionally!
I've got the GT3RS package but had the opportunity to test the Plastic paddles as well. They are still much better than Logitechs, but you might want to screw them to the ground/get the metal plate for them. You can also just get a piece of metal anywhere, some screws and a few pieces of anti slip stickers, but you'll pay just as much or more than for the fanatec stuff.
