Really tired of rearending a sleeper... Couldn't there be like a confirmation button you can push (can be just turning the wheel or pushing gas) on the grid to confirm that you are actually on the grid ?

Simple etiquette is just enough, as some people still don't care enough to click spectate when going away...

I know what you mean, that really spoils a drivers race these days. That's why I tend to stay in the middle when the lights go green.

I got kicked off a server for voting to restart.

When I got back on I called the admin a Nazi ******* and I got banned. Where's the justice?

You deserved that ban.

I wouldn't mind taking part in that championship if someone is willing to set it up.

Try it with the BF1 .

I've been having this problem since the beginning of last night now. My internet is coming from a router, and usually it works out fine. But since last night, there would be a message, saying that "A network cable is unplugged" and it would automatically reonnect, but it delays the whole internet process.

And I checked the network settings, and properties of the Local Area Connect, it claims to be working properly.

Can anyone assist, this is happening on the main PC as well.

Only for 2 weeks *sobs*

I've been searching all over the net for highlight clips of Damon Hill in the Arrows Yamaha, being very successful in the Hungarian Grand Prix. I was at holiday when it happened, and I was really gutted that I didn't get to see the whole race.

Does anyone know where I can find highlight clips or a full race of that race?

well am waiting for a mod to close it mmm i never knew of a forum what dont close old topics we need more mods.

Just ignore the topic then, you have been digging a deeper hole for every post you make on this topic.

Excellent!

Quote from DEVIL 007 :

I would say there is no limit so far I am aware.I can even manage in some situations 220+ with 8xAA+16AF.

Blimey.

I understand that LFS has locked FPS *Max 100 FPS for example*

When unlocked, with my new Specs, I got up to 130fps, no futher. What is the Max FPS that LFS has limited itself? On various resolutions? Just out of curiosity.

Thanks for the help lads .

Quote from Forbin :

So you just stuck the old hard drive in the new system and didn't reinstall? It isn't the hard drive that's changed. The OS loaded still thinks you have the old system.

I've done motherboard swaps before which involved different (but rather similar) chipsets but the same CPU and it worked okay, although not as well as it would with a fresh install. If I forgot to remove the chipset drivers before the swap, I could boot into safe mode and remove them from there. I would think you'd be able to do the same but due to the drastic change in motherboard architecture I'm not entirely surprised it doesn't work at all.

In conclusion, I think you're friend is right.

What does OS stand for?

Also I didn't have the discs to reinstall windows and reformat the hard drive. What my intention was, send the parts into the new pc, and then reformat the hard drive. I assumed that even though I had XP on it *even though it was very buggy at the time* I would use it for internet usage, until my mate arrived tomorrow to reformat the whole thing.

But now that I know whats happened, I'll be aware not to do that in the future .

recently upgraded my PC, from this:

Athlon 2000+ XP
1gb RAM *2x 512 PC2700*
6800GT 256MB AGPX8
PCChips M848A Motherboard
5.1 Surround Card.
120GB Hard Drive
DVD Writer/ROM
CD Writer/ROM
250Watt PSU

To This:

Athlon 3500_ XP 64 Bit (Venice)
1GB RAM *PC2700* (I ordered 2gb of PC3200 RAM, so I'm switching them over when it arrives in the post*
6800GT 256MB AGPX8 (from above)
Socket 939 Motherboard with onboard sound card.
120GB Hard Drive (from above)
DVD Writer/ROM (from above)
CD Writer/ROM (from above)
New PC Case
500Watt PSU

Since I got it this evening, the PC would reboot itself automatically. Because of that, I usually get "Windows Inconvenience" and choose the 4 options *safe mode, netowrking, command prompt etc* But when I choose either one of them, the PC automatically reboots.

A friend says that because the hard drive's configuration has changed, because of switching the hard drive to the new PC, the drive needs to be reformatted.

If he is correct, what is the soulution to the problem, how do I get the PC reformatted, if it keeps crashing?

If you need more details, please ask. I'm in no rush, or emergency pitstops in this.

Funny, I don't recall the last time you beat us, with your training wheels :P.

Quote from Forbin :

As I said above, $300 Conroe = $1000 AMD FX-62.

*thud*

Thanks very much mate .

Quote from Forbin :

Two things:

1) Does the motherboard have an AGP slot on it? (i.e. the ASRock 939Dual-SATA2) If not, your current AGP video card is worthless.

2) Intel's new chip, Conroe (officially named Core 2 Duo) is due out in late July.

My advice, wait for Conroe. Of course, that will also mean buying a new video card and RAM, so... if you really don't have the cash, go for the ASRock board mentioned above.

EDIT: Whoops, I see I already mentioned this... My advice still stands, though.

Yeah the motherboard I am after has the AGP slot.

How much is the Conroe and how fast is it?

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

Changing the proc and RAM would greatly help your system. My 3000+ at stock (1.8GHz) coupled with 1GB of DDR400, and an X1900XT-X with vsync on, and all filters on full gets 75fps constant. A full grid can drop to 45-50fps, but by T1 it's back to 75fps.

However, as like my card, your card will be bottle necked by your proc. The gefo6 range was bottle necked by the FX-55, which was AMD's 64bit flagship. So unless you scale up the resloution nice and high, you'll be CPU limited. Though LFS is CPU limited anyway, I don't think you'll get into much trouble with a 3200+, as long as you have a healthy ammount of RAM.

Oh, heres a tip. NEVER mix and match RAM, though it can be done, it does create problems and system instability. If you buy new RAM make sure it is from the same batch as what you already have. Otherwise it's best to buy it all fresh.

Thanks lads, much appreciated!

I have a friend that is selling me 2x 512mb PC3200 of RAM, and I do have a 256mb PC3200 in one of the ram sticks I have right now. So my new pc would have 1.25gb of RAM PC3200 . I think that's plenty enough hehe.

And I found a 3500+ 64 bit (Venice, 939 Socket) 6 quid more than the 3200+ so I'm going for the 3500+ instead .

So here is how the new pc would look.

AMD 3500+ 64 bit
Socket 939 Motherboard
6800GT 256MB AGPX8
1.25GB RAM PC3200
5.1 Surround Card.

Anything I should be aware of?

The current PC I have can only give me a maximum of 60fps when alone, and 40fps when racing other drivers and 30 for multiple drivers after the T1. I wonder how much big of a difference will there be? *drools*

Maybe he's related to uiop?

You have no chance for a team with your wrecking and attitude.

I bet you wish you never "pissed" me off now, since the name and shame topic I made about you

Quote from szyszek :

Besides, the F08 really is a beast. Check this replay. Watch me on the finish of the race (last straight only) to see just how much power and traction it has.

Seriously DO watch it. Worth recommending I found it immensly funny, and that's not easy for me

Excellent!

Glad you enjoy it, give the credit to the DEVs, they made it after all .

Hope to see you on the server some day .

Ok I feel horny just thinking about it!

I been searching on the S-S servers, and I see drivers using MRTs, FOX and BF1s, but not v8s.

Doesn't anyone want to drive the v8s anymore? I feel lonely .
