Daybreakers, lol what a load of shit. Twilight meets the Matrix my ass.

Quote from Dac :

At the moment I would say LFS is only good for teaching you the dynamics of racing, rather than actually making you better skilled at handling a real car.

Quote from Dac :

Exactly my point. LFS teaches you HOW to control a car but it does not give you the necessary experience to apply it to real cars.

Quote from Dac :

That's exactly what I am saying! LFS WILL help you become a better racer, but not because you get experience of handling a car but because it teaches you the dynamics of racing.

You said your bit? Seems to me you choose a differn't argument and just say whatever completely contradicts the person you are posting too, so your points just go against each other, once again, your just arguing with yourself.

Quote from trebor901 :

i would if i could get there but i cant, the reason i posted here is because people on here are normally pretty good with stuff like this

Call them on a telephone...

Hmm, actually, i'm a noob, when I put 1 deg less on the rear wing and click apply, it goes back up to 49, so no wonder it was so shiz.

I've put 1deg more on the front now and my times dropped my a second on full fuel, should be better for the next race, even if it's at 2am!

I just ran the indy car at road america for the RACC, won my race in Div2 by nearly a minute, apparently it was random grids and luckily I got put on pole, though I put more rear wing ont he rear rather than removed some which made my car even more understeery, which I guess helped because all I had to do was keep the car on the road.

Good event but I dont agree with the random grid...

Quote from Dac :

All supporting my argument. LFS will not make you Michael Schumacher, but it will teach you what he knows. It's putting it into practice that will make you fast in RL. I think a lot of proof reading is necessary here before people start shouting their mouths off about their understanding of other peoples arguments

That's just fantastic but if that's your argument then your arguing with yourself, no one said LFS would make you Michael Schumacher.

Yea, I forgot to mention Nick in my post, again someone else rather new to LFS who drives IRL, look at the speed he has without the "uber high mileage".

Quote from Dac :

What you have just said is "bollocks" actually, if you were karting way before you started playing LFS then it's completely different to what I said in my post was it!

And how is that, you claim that LFS doesn't make you faster, in my post I said I was ok before I found LFS, then once i'd been playing LFS for a while I was much faster in karts.

And yea, comparing CoD to a racing simulator is wise as hell, do people in the army use a mouse and keyboard to run around, do they allways sit still? No, but with racing simulators we have wheels and pedals, the only thing most of us are without G forces and cockpits.

Sounds to me like your going down the bitter route of believing your a great driver IRL but you suck at LFS, because seriously, how do you know if being fast in LFS can make you faster in real life if your not even fast yourself?

Seriously theres lots of people who go from LFS and jump into real cars, Norbi, [Duck] and Vale (I think thats him) who just got signed up to be a F1 test driver, ask anyone of the people who drive IRL if LFS helps or not.

Btw, your theory of having uber high mileage to be fast is quite flawed, sure i've done massive amounts of mileage on LFS, but i'm just getting into iRacing and pretty much straight away i'm going faster than people who've had the game from the start. RamboJorgen came from another sim, GP Legends I think, he was great on that and as soon as he joined LFS he was racing against the best drivers in LFS.

Because I forgot my burka.

There's "proper" photos of the same night on the post your GF thread, face aint covered in those ones. :P

Quote from The Very End :

Do not agree.

LFS increase the Epenis of people and they think beeing good in a game makes them good on the road, it's so wrong on so many parts...

Either way, as a very very very basic way of teaching the absolute basic - yes, but I do strongly disbelive that mastering LFS = Mastering real life full-blood race car.

I never said it made me fast or able to master a real life racing car, what i did say is that it helped in real life, my point was that getting good at LFS makes your more in control when it comes to driving a real car in real life.

It could also be argued that fast people in LFS are fast because they simply have the natural talent to be fast, most fast people in LFS come from racing backgrounds, mainly karting. Though the best argument for the point is Norbi, he got a test drive in a clio cup car simply because he was fast in LFS, when he tested the car he was by far the fastest and got a drive, going on to win 2 seasons. Ask him if he hadn't been found LFS and still got this test drive, if he would of been as fast?...

Maybe should be in post your GF but I'm more important in this picture.

Quote from Dac :

At the moment I would say LFS is only good for teaching you the dynamics of racing, rather than actually making you better skilled at handling a real car. Although I can put some good laps together in LFS and hold my own wheel-to-wheel when I get into a Kart it makes no difference other than I know HOW to race rather than actually being able get the most out of the car.

LFS + Teaching = Win. LFS + Real Racing = Fail. Think what you will of that.

That's bollocks, I've allays for been able to "hold my own" at karting since way before I started LFS, but when I started LFS it taught me much more than just holding my own, which meant the next time I'd go karting (arrive and drive though) I would actually be able to reach the limits of the kart. It also meant when I started driving I knew what to do when the rear end started to break away or when surprise under steer bites you in the ass.

I went to knockhill and had some laps in 1.2 single seater, it was great fun but it was even more fun actually knowing how to throw the car around and control over steer when it came around. That was the first RWD 'car' i've properly driven though my experience in LFS gave me confidence to drive it fast.

They usually don't become useless, some still even work, but you really need to be changing them to suit the new patch, but we don't know just how drastic the changes will be which could means the setup aren't that bad, or a whole load worse than we thought!

You think that is bad, well my higher modern studies paper was available on the internet (Though the guy who posted up the info took it down, but still said for people to PM him if they wanted to see the content)

His teacher from school went to some exam thing to make sure that the exam is hard enough and basicly told him what every part of the exam was about, meaning instead of learning as much stuff as possible and then learning how to write an essay on it, he only had to learn the correct essay before the exam.

For anyone who doesn't understand, you get 4 questions on a certain subject, each with a differnt scenario, like Obama being the president.

Anyway, luckily for me it was one of my classmates who found this forum and only decided to let on about it after the exam, good guy.

2015

Hahahahah, thats exactly what I thought, though she doesn't even look bad, just the hair, yeaa!

LOL! Nobhead knows my PW so it seems I got some searching around to see if she's made any other posts I should know about....

In saying that, she has her own account, but I don't think there's a "Post your boyfriend" thread...

Gigaday gigaday

We went to see The Book of Eli, awesome film.

Nice sarcasm, clearly your understanding of how things can simply deteriorate over time is flawed.

If you have nothing usefull to say then why even say something at all?

The only reason i'm posting what the problem is so when any one of the people reading the thread will know to check this if they ever have a similar problem.

Ok mo****as.

It's making some sense now. Basicly the problem came when the new prcoessor went in, tried to suck lots of power and the PSU couldn't handle it. When I was removing the PSU for the new one I noticed that the cable for the motherboard power was very stiff, but I just thought it was like that because it had been in for so long.

However my old man is an electrician and he was explaining to me that it might be one of the power connectors in the Mobo and that the connector pins in the Mobo will expand if they heat up too much. Then I remembered about the cable from before being allmost stuck in the board.

So my problem is the main connector for the Mobo heating up and sucking more energy, causing it to heat even more causing in power to be lost and it wanting to suck more energy.

I have the pc out and on it's side (I done this with the old chip so I could do the MoE) with the case off and I put the new chip in once again, sure enough after a while (Not as fast as before) I suffered frame drops, but not anywhere near as serious before, only down to 40fps. Then it would go back up to normal, few mins later the same again.

I put my trusty fan over the pc pointing into the main cable and left it running for about half an hour with no frame drops what soever.

So basicly i'm gunna get some electrical appliance cleaner, clean up the socket and try to fix the little pins inside the bad connector, if not then i'll ge a new mobo.

Thanks for all the help.

How did the year for LFS go? Did I miss something?

The problem never occurred before though, i've been on W7 for about 8 weeks now, done 2 hours in a row on LFS with not so much as a tiny drop of frames.

I'm thinking more mobo problems now, but tbh, I wanna burn it, seems reasonable.

sssshheeiiit.

Nah no onboard GFX, i'll give the card an update, if there is any.
