Agreed
Excellent and very thorough analysis of CPU performance and GPU, Maybe a few more additions with stats perhaps testing an Older card with the mix ? x800 or 1950pro or smth (As i love stats/benchmarking)
Great work dude

This isnt directed at everyone.
But for crying out loud - It isnt the end of the world. (yet)
IF someone posts somth negative lets try to turn the frown upside down.
Yes we are passionate about LFS or just overly vocal on what we think.
Over here is another example of the type of post that is negatively constructed, that only makes, what could of been a constructive discussion, As Glenn67 puts it "I would add a big long speal about how some of the not so fast cars in LFS currently offer very good racing and that in LFS speed and power are irrelevant as you don't get the same sense of speed as irl and that the slower cars aren't as demanding on your net connection and so allow closer better racing when racing people from all over the world"
Let me put it another way. Intead of pointing out flaws,lets try and put our efforts into using what we are born with to make the good things better.
Work with what youve got.
Respect , paitence and understanding are dwindling resources lets not waste them. As you never know what you have got (or how good you have it), until its gone

Well where to start my post from ....
I was going to post this anominously Its not the sort of thing i discuss freely with strangers or people im never likely to meet.
Ok so lets go right to the start.
I'm an eight year old lad, who hates his mum for smoking.
I decide there must be a reason why my mum smokes.
So i steal one or two to try, i sneak to my den and try one.
Its horrible , i am confused for another 5 years.
Ok I'm 13 now, its the end of the school year. Some of my mates manage to aquire some alcohol.
We get drunk, we start talking and i am curious again, why do my mates smoke ? I fall into a little peer pressure mainly to understand why people do it.
So i light one and "wow" no horrid coughing, mm tastes nice with strongbow.
Ok so right there and then i decide this is somthing i can do and feel the effects of the nicotene really strongly with the light buzz from the cider.
A week later or so i buy my first pack.
I smoke about 10 a week for a few months. (its £1.30 for 20 regal King size)
I joke to my friends that i quit when they get to £3 a pack.
A few years later its £3 a pack. and im leaving work to score firday nights entertainment. On the way to meet my main man, I get a call from my non drug using circle of friends from college, they invite me to a house party.
"ok" "I'll be there" I'd been smoking pot now for a few months and the friends i share this scene with since 3rd year at high school. (the amount of times i tried to tell them to stop I even reported my best mate for smoking before an exam)
Anyway i turn up at this party i know just one or two people here, and guys that i know are totally straight, no drugs ever. So were sat listening some techno and one of the lads i dont know proudly anounces that hes got a surprise , and pulls out a bag of green.
So i am thinking to myself "Yeah lets get stoned ... but ..aww crap but my mates here dont know im a "drug" user ahhhh hhhhh shit"
So i just go with the flow and joints fly around then my straight buddy grabs one of the joints and takes a huge toke ...... well i am speechless.
He passes me the joint and says come on al try some....
I smoke it and finish it .. everyones like 0.0 waiting for me to keel over or smth.
So i just smile to myslef and pull out my own supply and everyones speechless
, turns out to be a great night 
I become cheif roller !
By now i had alreeady decided to come clean to my parents about everything they had already guessed.
They were worried id be led into more dangerous areas of drug use.
Time goes on and its another Friday night Im now 19 and its time for another night with a GTE. (One gramm of speed, one trip and one E)
Its getting boring the scene at the clubs had changed for ever, coke getting more popular, raving was becoming fashionable.
An encounter with mushrooms changed things forever in a totally positive way. Although at the time it was both heaven and hell, but that ticket was worth the ride and that inital birth of what i felt was a true awakening of my mind.
By now Id seen both sides of the coin, I had met enough people here and there to know my own limits and what drugs i wanted to try and whcih not to risk. Now i had friends digging speed and much more, i took a step back and looked at what i was doing and where i was. Where i wanted to be.
Things started to change. I stopped with the amphetamine, pills and hallicugens and alcohol. But smokings was too hard to quit.
This was a important part of my youth and i think it is for anybody for any situation is to be true to yourself and others when you feel your losing grip control of your drug use.
Since then, sure ive done some of things i used to do in the past, but ive also dealt with death from drugs friends and family. Ive seen the darkest sides of people and the most loving side. One friend in particualr thoughout this has been tormented by alcohol and himself. I can proudly say he is dry again, but without trust and friendship and people to talk to about any of the issues raised in this thread its much harder to cope in my own humble opinion.
I have friends that smoked pot daily almost for decades that have "retired" and appart from their nagging they seem to be fine.
I could continue this brief collection of events/memories that i have experienced. I wanted to go a little deeper with the direction of my post, i might do that still, but for now, my only advice and thoughts are to be safe and have fun.

Maybe "borrow" A-Spec TBO style 10 races can use each car 3 times (TBO) and nominate a favourite to use a 4th ?
Aye and its Grim up north 
Looks like i am relagated to the bench now. Another good experienced driver amongst the ranks here now
See you soon on the team track Javi

That error is "no shader support" on the TNT afaik.
Sorry to bump such an old thread but if your still stuck i have a few spare GPU if your interested. (just PM)

Specs i dragged off the net.
# PROCESSOR: Intel Core Duo T2050 (1.6 GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, no 64-bit or VT)
# CHIPSET: Intel 945GM
# MEMORY: 512MB DDR2
# HARD DISK: 80GB 5400rpm SATA
# OPTICAL DRIVE: DVD-RAM (supports DVD+/-RW, CD+/-RW, and DVD-RAM)
# SCREEN: 14" WXGA (1280x800) Glossy
# VIDEO: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
# AUDIO: Realtek Hi-Definition Audio
I reccomend adjusting the LOD values in LFS graphic options and enabling multiplayer speedup/draw distance. Check your AA /AF settings (disable)
Im not a laptop geek really and wouldnt know where to start with optimising the Intel GPU. The CPU should cut it just about.

I guess you upgraded the RAM , this will help a little , but it wont improve your FPS too much, LFS isnt that much of a memory hog.
It looks like your using onboard graphics (and you changed from using 64mb > 128mb sys memory). Without any more infomation about your hardware configuration, it is hard to really help/guide you to improving performance.

Add one more XRT to the list.
Seeing as its silly season, I have to ask... do you have cookies and if so how large is that back yard?
/me runs off to chase the cat
As stated in my other post in this thread , dont want to chose any of the options ,but if the poll had a "LFS is like doritos chilli heatwave tree" i could of voted for that.
LFS is seemingly plodding on as its always done. Which is nice
Imagine if scawen was updating the physics every other month breaking peoples sets, racing styles, hotlaps/lfsworld.
Then you would get "oh the tyre wear in ax17 was better then aa1b "
"The blanacing is broke again in X group of cars"
"fuel consuption has gone up for my UF1 !!!"
That to me would be more upheaval. And im sure this has already been pointed out.
I think ChunkyRacer made a few good points, a few posts back.
Its always the ones that are bored that are complaining. Not that im copmlaning about those complaints , its just mm obvious why they do
They dont RACE enough imo.
If i would leave this post there.^
Im pretty sure i'd get hte reply but i dont want to race the same stuff "again"
well neither do i but, once i get that feeling and im side by side with a few laps to go with the leader, t could be racing round disney land, its the feeling that counts, not the track not the last patch, the feeling, the racing !
Trying to recapture your lost passion is somthing akin to being married i would imagine... mmm if i left it here would i start a divorce somewhere in the world....
Its not just onesided thing, the devs or LFS cant give you that passion for the racing feel.. your just as much respoible for that as the game is, the devs are, so on and so forth.
I dont know why, but i want to end with an alley'oop with my post here quoting a Will Ferrel film semi-pro
"everybody love everybody"
Playing doom on a null modem link via com1 port* with my mate is what got me hooked on PC Hardware & Games that and the internet.
Still a liitle late to the scene for a flash based game, as Quake 3 was done some time ago i seem to recall. But nice to see originals recreated & accessible.
*(real pain in the ass to configure at that time using DOS /Win95 if you had multiple com ports assigned to different devices)

Android i think someimtes its not whats wrong, its whats right that creates the confusion. Isolating Factors about the userbase and generalising and adapting a relative theory doesnt always apply to anomolies, it might help identify them, but certainly not quantify them.
Your point about people and frustration only goes to on to apmlify, and this post your now reading exagerate the point.
The forum is what you make it guys. Remember that.
Its like walking along the street and smiling at a stranger , helping a friend at school whos getting bullied. Protestesting against your council. Doing voluntary work when your broke. Doing what you can to make things better.
I'm no saint, but i do try to help those around me and things i care about.
I could go on but my coffee has gone cold ....

Ahh, mm... Yes thats sounds much better.
Getting back on Topic though, is there really a point to this one ?
I've talked about music mostly alongside some ideas in the past about LFSworld with Victor. I can honestly say hes quite a normal dude with above average musical taste
Scawen ive never talked to but have managed to get a smiley out of him once in some random thread.
Eric , well once i had a dream ... and thats prolly tmi
I think my point is trolling about the devs wont encourage them to converse in open dialouge, maybe ... "gasp" they are just like you me even lerts (perhaps in another bizzare espisode of "als dreams")
....
Seriously though, I think after reading this thread. Its just example of the younger generations that are conflicting with the older generation of player / forum user.
I long thought about posting a suggestion (it might of already been suggested) So i might as well reveal those old light bulbs that flashed.
Heres a couple Ideas I have mulled over in the past.
Rather then have a post count > Display Users Distance Driven in LFS
Have Technical driving and related physics area of the forum. At least that could at least improve the quality of people posting in threads made covering those topics. This i think would help the general discussion area. Perhaps lowering the tension.
Just a thought or two.

Oh dear ......I would have stuck to the talking bit.
Wise Dog need not bark all the time
Really unsure about this poll and what to decide.
So for now im not going to choose an option.
I think Zen321 sums up my hopes & fears.

I will ask about this and see how far back this goes and if there is any reason for different dates
When i originally replied i knew there was a log somewhere (asside from LFSworld)
Spotted the LFS News Headlines thought "ey up whats this then"
Nice addition but maybe some errors when adding comments (see my commments on MoE and CTRA race3) ?
Nice addition
but maybe some errors when adding comments (see my commments on MoE and CTRA race3) ?Would it be possible to also include >
A] Usernames/amount uploaded + ratio of WR per upload ?
B] History archives (how far back does the logging go, is there an archive)
Anyway good work just a little lacking in info.
