I can't believe there is no thread for this yet when the first game starts in 150 minutes. Are there really NO football fans here?

There are
but why start a football thread in a racing sim forum

Sometimes it helps to watch the website first (before posting)

>NEW : Instant Hotlap Analyser at LFS World

.

For some years I had a single 17" BenQ FP71G+ (the first ever 8ms TFT)
http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-mo ... 1995-3174_7-31340646.html

but now I use a single 22" Samsung 226BW with 2ms (LFS makes again some more fun for me now )
http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-mo ... 27967.html?tag=prod.txt.1

I have some different settings here (but it's just personal likings)

Wheel turn: 240
Wheel turn compensation: 1.00
Force strenght: 20

In the Sidewinder software

Wheel performance : Custom
Sensitivity: High
Return to Center: High

Did you created a profile for LFS in the Sidewinder software? (I bet you did but I better ask)
Else the settings can't be stored anywhere.

I sometimes have it that settings feel strange (are not there) but that only happens when I turn on the power of the wheel after I started LFS.
So for me it is always like: First power up the wheel, then LFS and everything is fine.

Quote from Octane :

the other thing is, LFS crashes for me (exits to desktop) everytime i do this :

- go to multiplayer-menu from main-menu
- display list of hosts, wait for the list to finish loading
- don´t enter any host and click "back" button to go back to multiplayer-menu
- press "back" again in this menu
--> LFS crashes, but ONLY if i watched a MPR or SPR before these actions, if i go to the multiplayer-menu directly, everthing is fine
EDIT: LFS just crashed for me without watching a replay first...

I had (I think) the almost exact same reproducable problem ("back" button etc. like you described it) some patches ago. After a complete fresh install it was gone and never happend again.

Found it: It was with X35 see the crash address thread:

Quote from ZanZi :

Should we all forget about this way to switch between cars or it is a bug? I can work with the car changing with TAB and SHIFT + TAB but on a endurance races where u need to swap with your mate how are we going to adress the swap request? :S I hope You understand what i meant

Well in a race you would usually have no replay controls

Edit: to slow

Quote from SamH :

Absolutely awesome changes! I could cry!! Race and league admins everywhere are singing your name, Scawen. It's true, I can hear them!!

I totally agree.

I love it

Quote from Christopher Raemisch :

I think if the community brought some concrete information to the devs about tracks that are willing to let their track be published for free personally I think the devs would love the idea.

Unfortunatly you are wrong with your thoughts (maybe not completly but):

Quote from mcgas001 :

Congrats on being the lastest addion to my 999 list.

same here

Wow
Great work Victor

Atm:
NVIDIA GF 8800 GT
NVIDIA GF 8500 GT
NVIDIA GF 6800 GS
NVIDIA GF FX 5900

no ATI for me, sold a lot of them, placed it in many PCs but never bought one myself
(I think started to not like them when I first had trouble with the drivers, many many years ago ).

I would have posted the same replay (like zeugnimod).
Especially lap 8 was great. 2 teams doing (just a little) double bumpdrafting on the long BL1 straight. Was good fun.

I had the same problem with my 2nd PC Athlon 64 3500+ (2,2GHz CPU)
XP needs about 54 seconds and Vista took 11 Minutes.

Some say it's caused by the "Superfetch" feature from Vista but I bet it's a hidden feature in Vista to convince people to buy new hardware

Maybe some fine tuning can help you:

Quote from Don :

if i may give you some advices:
- use some of the default skins, they look better than a grid full of plain cars (i believe there are some hires default skins in the hires skypack)

In general a good advice but that wouldn't match the requirements

Quote from Victor :

Screens must be taken of default LFS...

A section for discussing LFS-host related topics, such as administration tips and tricks / administration tools / techincal problems. This section is not meant to spam about your newly created host!

The personality test there is also interesting

Hey thanks for your query, I have checked out everything about you and I predict that your ideal job BBO is an alcohol tester. Good luck in your new career.

Yeah

Quote from hyntty :

Doesn't Merc have too much drivers anyway, when even Gary Paffet doesn't fit into their A-team? Isn't race winning more important than PR-value?

Well you should ask that Norbert Haug, not me

Mercedes motorsport competition director Norbert Haug said on TV after the last DTM race, that he asked Villeneuve to come, whenever he has time, and have a test run in the DTM car. And that it would be a nice addition to have him racig in the DTM and for Mercedes. And he was interested bla bla etc.

So maybe we will see him there someday, as Ralf Schumacher also ended in the DTM after a test run in the Mercedes car.

Quote from Dajmin :

That site didn't address the security concerns beyond "it requires a more complex password", it merely points out what they are...

Like I wrote "nice and easy to understand".

I you want to have a deeper look into the security, privacy, usability, trust problems etc. etc.
I recommend that site:

For me it's like someone said there:
"Theres nothing stopping a fake Mark Cuban from creating a fake OpenID, or worse, a fake identity provider."
