Personally I prefere the engine and race sounds only, but what's wrong with launching your favorite media player?

Next thing you could do is buy LFS

What you fail to understand kids, is that it only gets better. So you to get through all that teenage sh*t to get to the real fun

Quote from Becky Rose :

... To test the userbase I released a dual-platform freeware game and tracked the browser+OS information of downloads to assertain the proportion of PC to Mac users. ...

You never stop surprizing Becky

There was an old thread about LFSW UI (RSC or here??). I'd still give a thumb up if there's a more standard, less CPU-intensive version...

Wonder if they'll post MPRs/SPRs of best races

welcome

Quote from Scawen :

But... a router can only stop things listening as servers (because you have to specifically tell the router to forward the specified port to the specified local ip address). It doesn't stop anything you run on your computer, from accessing the internet. I'm pleased that my software firewall stops so many programs accessing the internet! So many programs you install, immediately try to send some info somewhere, and I really do not want these programs "phoning home" without my consent. Who knows what info they are going to send?

And it has also stopped some very mysterious things from accessing the internet, somehow a program that was intialised simply by browing the web. The router would not have made any attempt to stop these unauthorised internet accesses.

Amen to that
Been using SPF, and it's quite interesting what apps try to access the internet. Possibly the most interesting one is IE when searching local (!) files... of course, it gets blocked and continues to work as usual as if nothing happened

Quote from detail :

All of my LFS also send such packets. When I make a rule to block these connections, it waits quite a lot (expecting network connection).

Direction: outgoing
Local Point: 0.0.0.0, port 31000
Adapter: N/A
Remote Point: 127.0.0.1, port 28888
Protocol: UDP

checking config...

127.0.0.1 is your local computer. no need to worry, it doesn't send the data out of your computer. probably some kind of inter-application connumication like insim or the other stuff that scawen mentioned.

Scawen, haven't done it yet on S/T/1-5, just wanter to let you know that your hard work is greatly appreciated, and that the new patches since S make LFS so much better. Cheers also for the BF1 and beautiful implementation of TC

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

Indeed you are correct.

Much like SLi, dual core, and any other hardware based tweaks. You need to have them programmed in to be taken advantage of (with the exclusion of Crossfire, which works no matter what).

IIRC, you don't have to program anything special for SLI. it's just more graphics proccessing power...

Quote from Scawen :

I don't really understand the problem.

There is no "engine volume" slider. There is only a car volume slider, which does correctly affect all elements of the car volume. I will put out a note for any translators to correct this. I see that it has been wrongly translated in German.

If the wind is too loud, turn down the slider. I think you will find in a F1 car the wind volume is extremely loud. On a motorbike the wind noise is so loud you can hardly hear the engine, even at 80 mph.

True, yet I would love to be able to balance the wind/engine volume independantly... ATM, it gets quite annoying after a while...

any while we're at individual volumes, crash/hit volumes could use independant control as well.. eventhough I don't remember the loud crash sound happenning on S/T.

Quote from Kris-Is-Awesome :

I've tried the lawn thing. Noone around here 'needs it done'. I'm just... Eh. I don't know. I'll figure it out.

don't despair man you WILL figure it out.

i'm not from the uk.. so. no hello from me

1st time i downloaded the patch (s) it didn't unzip properly. tried from another mirror and it worked fine. then updated to patch T several hours later

just tru another mirror. proxy shouldn't be an issue with most (all?) mirrors.

Quote from Blackout :

Yes, tested the combo offline last night and it was great, like said the BF is just made for it! It did eat my tires pretty quick but it was fun

keeping the tires workable is one of the major challanges of this track

yes, ky gp long has always been a great track. very nice for fox, quite hard for fo8. haven't tried it with the bf1, but my guess is that it's gonna rock

Quote from Bob Smith :

Meh. I haven't bothered with it, car is perfectly driveable without. I tried turning it on and unless I was silly it didn't do anything anyway. But useful for newbies I guess.

actually it's very usable also for non noobs. the thing is that it enables a different driving technique, which includes pushing the throttle early on and counting on TC to control the gas. one u get used to it u can improve your lap times nicely.

although i don't have enough laps with BF1/TC yet and i haven't tried the BF1 without TC, so it might be just as fast without it as well. i still quite like it though. it's also very nicely implemented imho.

IMHO, the new fonts look good but are a bit harder to read. I'd love an option to choose the prefered font...

59.16 on my 1st lap on BL1 (qualli)

it feels great and i like it. although i don't have enough milage to appreciate it yet, and only started using early gas while counting on TC to hold me lately. still a good thing imo.

oh, and the BF1 rocks and has great sound

Quote from Yucko! :

stroke his leg, why would anyone want that stroked?

his 3rd leg probably although a "bit" harder to drive that way

Quote from Becky Rose :

I refuse to get drawn back into a debate. If anyone has issue with my driving they can take it up with the clerk of the course from now on, as there isn't one in LFS - your just **** out of luck.

becky, you're one of a kind
