^ Yeah, that was kinda the reasoning behind the theme. Providing a challenge that encourages quality over quantity, if you understand what I mean
Just as a minor note, try to pay attention to where the light comes from. The shadow cast by the broken-off tyre is quite... impossible
(and directly contradicts the one from the broken-off wing)

Are you sure you're using the correct decimal separator for the culture the program is running under? For some countries it's a dot, for others a comma.
Maybe see if there are controls that restrict the user input to numeric instead of using a normal textbox, which could fix the problem too by just giving you a value directly instead of having to parse the text. I've never coded VB though, so I don't know if something like this exists (it should under VB.NET).
Posting the error message would be helpful, too

Go to Options > Controls
- Press the button "Axes / FF" in the middle of the screen
- On the right, make sure "unlock" is activated
- Rotate the wheel from full left to full right once
Personally, I leave it on "unlock" and rarely if ever have to recalibrate the wheel. Just the pedals need a stab each to make sure their full range is used

This has been suggested before already, with all kinds of rules and twists to make it as comfortable and unproblematic for the devs as possible. However, the truth seems to be that the devs are simply not interested in something like that, at least regarding the main content. It's not like they didn't have chances to implement real tracks without licensing costs before, they're just doing their thing the way they want it to do.
Obama definitely. McCain himself probably wouldn't be so bad either if he were younger and more capable to be himself instead of what the Republican strategists tell him to be. The ultimate dealbreaker however is Mrs. Sarah "Pitbull with a lipstick" Palin. The opinion on that woman went from "wow she's hot" to "wow she's dumb" unbelievably fast, and some of the things she said are actually quite scary. Electing McCain means a significant chance of Palin actually becoming President, which is something that must never, ever happen. Bush might be generally perceived as dumb, but this woman takes the cake in that regard and she didn't need years to make that painfully apparent.
Besides that I think that Obama might actually change something to the better in the good ol' US of A, which frankly in the long run has probably more of an impact on us than local elections here (considering how much the USA like to play world police and "solve" conflicts by arming their future enemies).

Okay, this is my Final Entry now.
Added a more realistic helmet interior and touched up the girl a bit (gave her a more fleshy skin tone). Also tried adding shadows that actually come from the correct angle, but this is the first time I did something like this, so the result is probably only moderately realistic. In any way it was quite fun doing this

Ahh, you were talking about the resolution used in the benchmark :doh:
Really? I thought such lowres TFTs aren't even sold anymore? 
The only real way to solve this is giving the most common resolutions as a parameter you have to select when submitting the benchmark. At least I don't see another way considering the vast amount of TFT monitors with a fixed resolution nowadays. Or you can force everyone to run 1024x768 (which isn't used by TFTs at all) or 1280x1024 (which a good amount of TFT owners use, but noone with a CRT does).
^ Unrealistic. No woman would ever get this deep into a parking spot sideways, yet alone without damaging the cars
The devs are aware that the heating model is not finished - it's a WIP, after all. Nevertheless, it would be a lot more helpful if you'd give a bit more detail other than saying "it's wrong." Some specific examples would be nice.
Welp
E: Consider this the final version should I not post anything today anymore

Lerts, do you understand the concept of a shadow?
Also, do you believe that there are torches that can emit shadow instead of light?

PS: For ensuring maximum performance, don't forget to overclock the water pump, too!
Cannot agree with that. Not saying it would be bad, but this is in the realm of investing coding-time in something that the user can very well find out for himself.
For example:
a) http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Basic_Setup_Guide#Camber, or
b) just play with the slider and you can actually see what it does on the car
Besides that, as a newcomer you should have a look at the manual before changing random settings, and if you can't be arsed to do that, then tweaking the setup is out of question anyway

I wasn't criticising you for the suggestion, merely expression frustration/confusion as why we don't have this in LFS yet, after all those years.
I cannot see any technical complications at all. You just need a multiline textbox to enter the notes and save whatever the user entered at the end of the setup file.
If the user is given a very generous 3500 chars to store info, then the setup file still wouldn't need more than 4kb on the disk (considering a default cluster size of 4k) so disk space preservation clearly isn't an issue. Sending setups cannot possibly be a problem either, since for example downloaded skins have an about 1000 times bigger size than a setup file right now. Just within a few seconds of being connected you have more data transfer than these meagre 4K, and you could still simply omit the note text if including it in the sent setup is for whatever reason not wanted.
I have honestly no idea why this isn't implemented yet. Maybe Scawen just doesn't see how useful it would be.

What can I say... this has been requested since I can remember posting on the LFS forums (so 2003-ish, back then on RSC). We still don't have this feature that cannot possibly take more than 1 hour to implement 
Wow, that can only mean that the .iso file was mostly empty though. I can also make a several gig text file just containing "0" over and over and when you compress it it will be < 1KB, simply because you can write it as "1000000000 times the character 0" (aka run length encoding, one of the simplest compression methods available).
^ Nope, with the latest patch LFS actually makes the clutch bite at about 60% of clutch travel. Using DXTweak to achieve a realistic bite point is not necessary any more.
Granted, I'm not particularly fussed about what the outsiders think - I linked to that thread more for the general discussion inside. What I don't understand is why this abysmal thread is still open while others are closed for much less. Maybe I'm just annoyed because this thread has shown me again how a few people can make this place look like absolute shit. And I'm not talking about the humorous responses which this crappy thread certainly deserves.
