Vista is for me a bit like WinME
not really special, more problems than positive things, etc.
and not many people really like it, means MS sells not enough copies.

They just hope they can stimulate their business with Win7 again.
Let's wait and see

I use Acronis True Image for that kind of things, easy and simple.

but you said "no money" maybe that can help you too

hm lfsworld only remembers window positions and not sizes so I'm afraid you're mistaken about the other windows.

I'm sorry, you are right.
I was so sure about the other windows
but now I remeber that I also always resized the chatterbox too (looks like I'm getting old)

Quote from Victor :

Maybe i can implement that though, will need to have a look.

That would be nice in any case.

thats discriminating, i want my flag too

Hi Victor,

is it a bug,a feature or just a problem on my side?
( Don't think it's on my side I got it in FF3 and IE7)

When I change the size of the LFS News window to my liking
on LFS Desktop (www.lfsworld.net) then the original size
of the News window is restored everytime I visit the site again.

The window size of all the other stuff (Live Alert,Chatterbox etc.)
is stored.

So would be nice if you can add that to the LFS News aswell.
Or I have to rearrange it everytime by hand again

Maybe this would work for people who are not in a team (but a lot are).

For me it's like this:
When I want to race/practice/whatever a specific car/track combo then I use our own Teamserver. After a while usually some people I know come and race with me or us.
If there are people that don't behave, then I or one of our Team usually kicks/bans them.

So in other words I don't have the need for something like you suggested and I wouldn't pay for an admined server (or like you wrote "high quality" server) as our team got it's own.

And if I/we don't race there then there is CTRA and leagues.

Maybe there is a problem with the drive letters/registry.

Can you assign another drive letter to this drive in the Disk Management (dunno if this is the right term /Datenträgerverwaltung in german)?

Use [WindowsButton]+[R] then start " compmgmt.msc "
then choose another drive letter for the HDD

Or check if the drive letter is activated or not
iirc you can use TweakUI to check of the drive letters are activated or not etc.

Quote from ACCAkut :

If I see it right you use quite a few portable devices, can XP may only recognice a certain number of them? And IIRC objects in grey show that these are ready to detach, maybe its really down to low power.

Looks like he is using an USB card reader so these are not "real" external drives.

Just for the info ;-)
About the drives:
Windows can use as much drives as the alphabet has (minus A and B as these letters are reserved for Floppy Disks) so 24 devices/disks/CD/DVD can be used in total.
And you can attach up to 127 USB devices. (But usually you run out of power)

btw. I once had a SATAII drive and from time to time it lost connection without any warning, after a reboot is was there again. A few days later it suddenly dissappeared again etc. etc.. Half a year later the drive was completly dead.

So my best guess is also low power or a drive that starts to die sooner or later but I hope it's something different.

I also had this problem a few times with some PCs.
Can be everything, low power, defective USB port or drive, loose contact of the plug / connector ...

Have you tried to just plug it into another USB port?

Quote from white92talontsi :

... Or maybe LFS can be like every other game i have and let me install it and play it as many times as i want. Just install and enter my cd-key back in and done!

Actually with LFS you can do more then with a lot of other games (LFS can be installed on 2 computers and then you can play via LAN with only 1 license - for many many other games you need to buy 2 CDs/licenses to do that or you have to pay for the online playing etc.)

And when I look at your join date it's not like you have discovered LFS a week ago and didn't know about it the unlock stuff.
You could have read the Unlock Rules and Regulations before you bought Stage 2 of the game. It's all written there.
If you don't like it, don't buy it. Simple as that.

As LFS is an online simulator and mainly be sold online (downloads) I bet the devs have a real good reason for their choice of the MasterServer unlocking procedure they use (crackers/hackers etc.)

It's up to you to use your unlocks in a normal way.
Thousands of others can do it and have no problem with it.

It looks like cheesus.

Nice vid.
thx for sharing.
Interesting to see that the real car is much much smaller than it is displayed in LFS (with the driver in it).

Congratulations Niki

Quote from Victor :

So if you feel like testing, please post in this thread and I may pm you.

If you still need someone to test it, I got some time today and tomorrow.

Quote from RS1T :

you are all complete idiots ...

Quote from RS1T :

YOU ARE ALL RETARDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
This is the most disgusting and pathetic forum i have ever used in my life. You cant say anything without getting slated and flamed. you should all be ashamed of yourselves

Great you put time into showing some comparisons
but the guys who wrote the FAQ in the LFS manual also.
And the others in the threads that are already there too.
So what.
There is nothing really special or new in your thread
and just because no one is really enthusiastic about it
you start calling others complete idiots or retarded etc.
This isn't really helpful nor does it make the thread any better.

And in the end the whole forum is "the most disgusting and pathetic forum" you have ever used.
You should really think about your own behavior for a minute and what you write here as it makes you look like complete fool.

Quote from Gnomie :

Yep, very nice commentating! This was the first time I watched more than an hour. Good job! Out of couriosity; how many people normally watch these broadcasts? Are we talking 10, 100 or 1000? Just wondering.

Iirc Mika the commentator from game-tv said they had 6000 stream viewers last year in the 24 hours MoE race that was sponsored by Fanatec. But I bet it really depends on how it is advertised everywhere and how it is all done. I don't think it's the norm.

--------
Tbh if I hadn't really searched for the broadcast here I wouldn't have seen that there will be any broadcast today.
After endless waiting for the start and just seeing "drifters" trying to drift instead of MoE coverage (what a disaster) I was to bored to wait any longer
but at least I enjoyed the last hour which was great (commentators and racing)

Quote from Heiko1 :

Never.. he made some WR's and at there no car can push him.

Theyre not rly wrs just WR with place 20 go up to 50 and so on. i mean he got the 20best time to wr

WR = hotlaps = offline driving
Place20 up to 50 in the hotlaps charts = hotlaps = offline driving

Offline driving = LSFW doesn't count fuel
(how can it if no Inet connection exists)

but there also must be another explanation for 13 online races he did without fuel.
Maybe because of a Database backup or something.

Quote from dan926 :

my computer wont let me play them because it ses windows media player doenst support the file can some one please help me?

If it's a ".mpr" file (same for ".spr") like this: 16h Server4.mpr

Then you have to choose LFS to open them as these are multi (mpr) or single (spr) player replay files of the game.

Or copy them directly into the correct folder "..\LFS\data\mpr"
or "..\LFS\data\spr"

Quote from Flame CZE :

Yes, Victor wrote Username there so it's the unique one. And BBO@BSR wrote Yes that would be good: license name (LFS Playername) butVictor asked for LFS game name (not unique).

Ok sorry Flame CZE (language barrier I think) now I know what you mean
but at least all the others also mixed that up.

Quote from Brilwing :

I think that the LFS player name is important, cause this name is unique.

answer to Victor's question

Quote from traxxion :

Yeah, license name would be nice..
