Hmmm. I'm not a expert or anything when it comes to networking. But how come it's possible that the two computers have same IP?

When the computers are in the same network and using the same connection, they still should have two separate IP's. Or am I missing something?

IE. if you try to connect two different computers to same LAN network, even Windows doesn't allow you to try connecting with IP what's already in use.

Well the "rapidness" always depends on for what you compare... But yes in a race trim they are simply awesome. Car weight what? Like 500 kg and the N/A 1000cc engine can take even +10 000rpm. IIRC as best they made +110 hp or similar which is neat in a light car like that.
But it's not just the how quick they are, these old and raw machines just have something what modern cars can't ever have.

Tho if I made mistakes here well then I'm sorry, but my knowledge with Fiats is very limited.

Here you go.

Quote from sam93 :

This is the new one, review from the man himself - Clarkson lol.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXALDprqcuc

He is driving the normal version for about a minute, then he moves onto the Abarth SS version.

lol don't try to make me write my opinion down about it with these fancy reviews.

Clarkson's reviews are always entertaining, but it still didn't make me change my mind. The part where I smiled for a moment was when the original 600 Abarth was on the picture. Shame he didn't go driving it.

Quote from J@tko :

If you're a girl

I would prefer the "600" (1000TC) Abarth and I know that those cars are not girly in any way. They are maybe little, but many people doesn't realise how hardcore those old Abarths actually are. They need a driver who can cope with a fast RWD rear-engined, short wheelbase car. Yes, they have tiny engines, but they also are very light, they really are quite fast cars.

-EDIT- Ahh, I realise you guys were talking about the rubbish new one. I don't really have any printable opinion about that.

My post is a bit useless considering the original topic, but let it be.

I can't properly tell what is actually going on there, but...

...I don't find violence funny, but I do honestly think that thiefes robbers etc. do deserve one hell of a beating.

I think if I would caught somebody trying to ie. steal my car I would rather enjoy giving few punches on the thiefes face with my bare fists.

I kinda agree with BAMBO here, but at the same time I have to admit that I had fun reading this thread.

I'm also gonna google "neek" cause I have no clue about for what it stands for.

From 2004: 3dr Sierra as seen in the awatar.
From 2007: other 3dr Sierra with 1.6 OHC, used to drive it for ~2 months when I got my license, but then I got the better one MOT'd and started driving it. Trying to sell the 1.6 one but it's hard to get any decent money out of it in one piece...

Quote from DevilDare :

Neither do I. Thats why i posted this couple posts back...

Yeah, I wasn't aiming the post to just you. The last few pages just kinda made me feel like posting this up.

Human is an animal too like other species are too. It is natural to us to feel more empathy towards other similar individual (other human) than it is to feel it towards other animal what's not similar. It's natural us to consider other animals as food, we are on the top of the food chain. If it wouldn't be like this we couldn't have survived as a specie. Or at least we still would be just stupid apes because we then couldn't be able to get the proteins and fat from the meat of animals needed for evolving these big brains of ours.

So yes, seeing another human being getting killed is a whole lot more graphic and nasty than seeing another animal from other specie getting killed.

I'm not still saying it's not nasty to see ie. a kitten getting tortured, but you maybe got my point.

The pic crashgate posted, I don't consider really as funny, but I also don't feel much knowing the bird died.

If I recall correctly the RB4 also has "only" 30 degrees of steering lock.

Different cars just have different amount of steering lock.

LFSForum is probably only place what is full of people who pretend to be car enthusiasms and when someone posts pictures of a very clean example of a good looking car they start bashing it for whatever reason, because they seem to assume that this is what a real car enthusiasm would think.

Same goes for the some people who think they are real racers and bash drifters etc.

Every other car related forum I'm in usually have lots of REAL car enthusiasms who actually enjoy pictures of cars like this, even if the car in it ain't 100% what they describe as a dream car. They also don't go complaining how drifting isn't a real sport, they even might enjoy it. Even the real racers.

I'm not aiming this post to anyone personally but this is just the feeling I often get here.

And then my post to OP:
Very nice and clean looking example of Civic build with taste. I'm not that into Civics or Hondas in general, but that really looks good and probably is quite rapid too.

If you have the .bat file in the same folder than LFS you can just write:


or even without the "start":


-EDIT-

I'm not sure if this is the best way of coding this (it has been awhile from when I've been fiddling around with bats) but this should work if you have the .bat in different folder than LFS:

Quote from JeffR :

Caterhams (like the LX6) are a less than two rounds lock to lock, with a go-kart like feel in the steering and driving response, but these weigh less than 1500 lbs.

Formula 1 and similar race cars have steering "yokes", not wheels:

http://jeffareid.net/real/spaf1.wmv

Other than a few gaming rigs, and simulations designed to use them, the force feedback in the steering from games isn't realistic, so less sensitive steering is normally used.

Yep I know there might be some exceptions, that's why I typed the word "usually" in there.

I have to admit that I kinda didn't get what you meant with the F1 and unrealistic force feedback talk?

Maybe you meant that NFS isn't probably gonna feature realistic ffb and it's gonna be designed for less steering rotation and for not so realistic gaming rigs?
Tho I still dunno why you mentioned the F1.

Still I would hope that NFS Shift is gonna feature a realistic ffb, adjustable steering lock and wheel rotation because if not it's kinda going to kill the immersion and playability with G25 and similar wheels. After all they have mentioned sim like physics already...

And oh I'm not trying to make your post look false, I'm just a bit confused.

Quote from Velociround :

DX9 does not support AA with deferred shading, which GTA uses. DX10 is needed. It isn't due to DX9, but the lighting technique they use where AA only works in DX10. They even said that on a interview on IGN.

Ah ok so it's just the combination DX9 and deferred shading.

Well, the only reason I can think of what produces steering lag is poor performance. But dunno why it does that with you then if it actually is fast.

Also rF doesn't require alien computer for good FPS so if you have a decent PC it should work. Maybe it's GPU drivers then? What FPS are you getting usually?

Quote from Velociround :

By the way, AA won't work because game uses DX9 (it would work on DX10), but AF still does work. Just force it on the drivers, because IMO GTA IV's texture filtering is pretty poor ("Render quality").

That can't be it right? Because it's the only DX9 game I've seen that where AA isn't possible.

Quote from Chupacabras84 :

If you mean the turn angle is to small I dont think its unrealistic. just in sport cars are small wheels and small angle to make turning easier, cars are more responsive thx to it.

Even sport cars have a rotation of usually at least two rounds from left to right.

A car would be horrid to drive with less. And yes I think it kinda sucks if they're not gonna make it adjustable at least, it kills the immersion.

Quote from G!NhO :

And in rFactor there is like a very big delay.

Well that's your PC running too slowly then.

My friend decided to try this and it seemed to work ok. Now I have the same DVD from where he installed it.

So, I boot from CD (well DVD actually eh), it says Windows is loading files. Then the fancy Windows is starting screen with the logo is shown, it sits there for a bit and then BSOD's. :doh:

Oh lol.

After some googling it seems to be related to NVidia card again.
Tho my friend has Nvidia too. Seems to be quite random this.

Quote from lukelfs :

Also i cant get AA/AF working?

I will quote myself to explain this:

Quote from BigPeBe :

Just no no no.

I dunno about the technical facts and stuff, but the problem with GTA IV is that it uses some kind of rendering system that doesn't support AA.

It doesn't matter how much you have AA or not, because you can't have it in GTA IV.

Thing is, GTA IV will always look utter crap even with everything maxed because of this.

Oh well... at least it's a funny game.

Yep that's the point. If it chokes and fails to react immediately, then it isn't properly adjusted.

ie. a common problem with dual carbed tuned engines is so called "nose-dive". It means that when you are cruising lets say 80 km/h with 3000 rpm and then press the gas pedal, it doesn't react immediately, but instead revs drop a bit and then starts going it's very often caused by wrong sized idle jets.

I'm not an expert or anything but I know some stuff. If there is lag like that, then the carbs usually aren't perfectly tuned.

BTW note that when I say "tuned" I usually refer to how the carbs / ignition are set up and adjusted.

Quote from danthebangerboy :

Some tuned engines do have massive rev lag at lower RPMs for some reasons, i think they are meant to be like that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTZIetR6rBI&fmt=18

That is a very nice car, seeing & hearing a Pinto with sidedraughts is always a joy.

BUT, I see no "lag". And that little choking & popping is caused by not so optimal air-fuel-mixture. Those carbs just aren't properly tuned in that video.
Dual carbs like that are very hard to jet & tune perfectly, it is usually needed to be done in a dyno. A very experienced guy can get them work quite nicely without dyno too, but it's very hard tho. I got a feeling that they aren't even properly matched to each other yet.

Also the throttles aren't even nearly fully opened at any point during that video.

The fact is that a real powerful & good & in perfect tune N/A Pinto with ie. Dellorto DHLA's pulls perfectly thru the all rev range without any choking or popping or lag. And works even when the gas pedal isn't fully pressed.

If the engine is properly tuned then yes they will react to the press of a gas pedal without hesitation even at lower revs. It can be very rough sounding and uneven at lower revs. But if there is "lag" well then it usually means it's not properly tuned. ie. wrong sized jets in the dual carbs (if that's the right term in EN).

Quote from Ovidiu23 :

Yummy (Nissan GTR and Ford GT)

I hope they will feature also the original GT40 one. The modern GT is just lame in comparison.

Tho TBH I don't really care, I already have the GT40 in rF HGTTC.

So overall the bits of info about this game are looking too promising.
It can't be that good really? Oh well I'll be glad if it will.
