So.. I'll try and give my impression of the u33 sound. I think it's a vast improvement in comparison to u30, but as already said the engine sounds need a bit of tweaking.... IMO the engine sounds of the LRF cars and below are much better than in u30 and could be left alone for the time being, but the stronger cars, in particular the big GTRs, sound kind of muffled. I think a car with such a strong engine shouldn't have a humming sound, even if you've got a helmet on. I miss the feeling of explosions going off in the engine. The fzr is worst. There is no rattling or shrieking in its sound, like I expect when i sit in a car that powerful.

In general the sounds are good, but much to tame for the bigger cars.

I can't help it, but when i watch a replay with the fzr in it it sounds like a bunch of sience-fiction hover-gliders speeding past.....
I'm looking forward to future patches, because this is definately not the right sound for things with an engine and wheels on it....

Whoa!
That's why I love LFS! You wouldn't get these kind of apologies on a counter-strike forum.

Hehe, like all the others I thougt: oh man he'll get so bashed....

but then... it made me really laugh!

thanks for this amusing little nasty thread

But can you see this bunny? http://www.magiceye.com/product/prints/bunny_slope.html

Sitting cross-eyed 7 inches from your monitor, trying to find a bunny doesn't do your eyes any good... :Eyecrazy:

...and I don't see it.:irked:

Yeah Vykos is right there...

If you want to calculate the percentage of people owning a lfs license in dependance of the countries population you just have to multiply the percentage of licensed racer per country with the total number of purchased lfs licenses and divide the result by the total number of people living in this country (number of population )
For Germany it would be: 0.25 (percentage) x X(total number of purchased lfs licenses which I don't know) / 82,424,609 (total number of people living in Germany) and the result is the percentage of the german population which bought a lfs license

I hope you'll consider this helpful information for finishing your task to rule the world. illepall

have a nice day!

Edit: in the first place i was strongly confused about nearly every second finnish citizen owning a lfs license .

Yes I know that. I already made a new profile with 8xAA and 16xAF, but everything flickers as hell (Yuck! :banghead: )
That is even more annoying than the original problem....

Thx for all the answers so far... and please keep posting!

Edit: OK... now this is weird. i played around with the AA and AF settings a bit and noticed that AA works fine, but AF only works on the track and not on the trees/curbs/bridges or the fence..... now thats a strange problem.. I hope there's someone with an idea on this...

EDIT: FINALLY GOT IT FIXED!! ok it was just an option in the drivers menu. everything is good now. i just had to set "negative LOD bias" to "clamped" in the LFS profile and now it looks as it has to. and still no crashes when switching between windowed- and full-screen-mode

Thank you all for the help.

OK. installed new drivers -> didn't crash since then...
but now my antialiasing and anisotropic filtering doesn't work any more...
grml
any suggestions?

Quote from AndroidXP :

OT: What kind of temperatures do you get on your GFX card? I'm currently very unhappy with mine as graphics intense programs (luckily not LFS) get it up to 90°C where slight artifacts already start to happen. It doesn't downclock itself and the temp limit at 127°C is just pathetic.

I tried already everything imaginable; now there's basically an own fan blowing directly at that thing with cool 21°C air (well, the fan is actually on the outside - I love constructing weird things ) but that barely keeps it under the artifact-limit. What's also funny is that as soon as the graphics drawing process is interrupted the temperature IMMEDIATELY drops about 10° and goes down back to 55 in no time, vice versa if it starts calculating again. Already tried downclocking manually but no change .

Recently I had a similar problem, but my card completly screwed up and shut down when it got to hot. I solved the problem by installing an additional fan and cleaning the cards own fan and heatsink (!). Now everything works fine provided that my heating installation isn't running to high. But my card only manages a temperature about 75° or it will screw. (HL2 ~ 70°)

Quote from Platinum Pete :

Hey the same thing happens to me when in game- and i have a similar rig to yours. (+ i have tried different drivers and it still happens)

the only thing that i have found that stops it is pitting before hitting shift+F4 and it doesnt seem to crash.

1 question- does the game crash your PC when you minimise the screen, or when you try to get back in? mine always happens on the latter (doesnt anymore because i pit 1st)

hope this helps a little.

at first this option worked for me too (going to the pits before switching to windowed mod) and it only screwed up when switching back to fullscreen, but now it happens everytime I change mode wether I minimize or "go big" . Edit: I noted that it won't crash in the pits, but when i go back on track it lasts about two seconds and then... crash.

I don't know if its important, but after crashing the sound goes on every 5 seconds or so..., but only for an instant.

got a athlon xp 3200+, geforce 6800 gt, 1 gig of ram, asus a7n8x-e deluxe, windows xp home.
in the background runs norton anti-virus, nv-templogger (logs the temperature of the graphicscard), wingman profiler and asus probe (logs the temperature of the cpu).
i don't think there's a hardware problem or a conflict with the background-programms, because in the beginning everything worked well...

i hope you can help me..

€dit: AndroidXP: I really don't want to turn the settings down, becaus with these specs i should be able to run lfs in a high quality, but i'll try installing newer drivers right away when i get home today (didn't think of that myself... ).
I run the game in 1280x1024 and if i dont turn to windowed-mode theres absolutly no problem.

Hi folks!
recently i got an annoying bug in my lfs game. Everytime I press shift+F4 my computer freezes completely and I have to push the reset-button to restart it. Otherwise the game runs perfectly without any problems. Has anyone a suggestion what could be the cause of this problem or what I could do against it? I consider the window-function of the game pretty useful so I don't want to do without it.

Thanks in advance and I hope I didn't make to much mistakes (my last english-lesson lies far behind :tilt

Greetings

Hi Kemot!
Seems like I got a problem with downloading the movies. Every time i click on the download-button i get an error message saying: "attention: 530 User lfsmovies: can't change directory to /site/lfs-movies/public."

Do you have an idea how to solve this prob?

thx in advance
