If it Rains Hamilton will walk it (The race That Is)

As you know Dru I run the fox in the GFC and the last couple of nights I have given the FO8 a try out for fun on FE gold while the lads have been running Qualifying sessions and as I run probably the same sort of times as you (now down to mid to low 1:07's0 where as Huppis is getting now high 1:05's.

One trick I use as I am just learning the car is I run some high speed corners 1 gear higher as it makes it that little bit easier to hold the car on the limit without spinning out.

Cheers Guys I'll have a play again tonight with the settings, what i'm looking for is a steady 50 fps with clear non flickering graphics, with a start point of 75 - 80 fps I should get this I think with some aa/af turned on but I'm very happy anyway as it's a big improvement to what I did have

Thats a good tip Sam

I find with aa/af turned on to 4X each my frame rate drops to 35 - 40 fps and with aa/af turned off FPS go up to 80 - 85 and I cannot discern any change in the visuals.

I have an Intel 6200 due to me having a basic Dell with PCI slots (Not PCI-E)
Before this I had to turn off all In house LFS Graphics Options and run at Low screen Res Which I set to how busy the server was and with integrated graphics used to get about 40 FPS

Now with the 6200 I can turn on almost every Graphic option in LFS and get a steady 70 FPS with aa/af turned off, come to think of it aa mabe set to application run which I think means LFS chooses or sets the best setting.

Anyway when I set aa/af to X4 I could see no real difference in the graphics only difference was my FPS halved.

Sorry About posting in Wrong Area

Patch X 0.5

Could be though my version has been corrupted but it only happens on track change.

Ok this occurred on Track change Last Night after SO City, Last thing I hit was Letter "T" For chat during track change screen and I got LFS crash with the Black screen, but this time was different as I could not Restart or Shutdown or Logoff my computer ( I had To Carry out A Hard Shutdown). After restarting I could enter other servers but not the CTRX Beta Server I Got Crashed Out From as LFS kept crashing With This Error :-



I Will Try to connect again Tonight, UKCT seem to think this is an LFS Error, I could access any other server after reconnecting even other UKCT Servers but not the CTRA-X Beta Test Server.

Quote from mrodgers :

Nice spam posts.....

Ok, I'd join but I'm at work, then have to go get groceries since I have the wife's car and she can't. Or, I have to stay home and fix my car, then probably go swimming with the kids, fly the RC airplane, eat dinner, swimming pool again for a bit, some more flying with the RC, weed the garden, get a shower. Finally, I'll be able to get on and get my email, then I might be able to make a single race, but since I don't like open wheelers and it's too hot to get any good sleep, I'll attempt to go to bed early and hope for the cold front that's suppose to come through tomorrow so it's not 115 F at work tomorrow.

Mike I don't think he wants you

Anyway I have Joined GF whats your problem

Please put me forward for Beta Testing becky

Great racing, you lads did LFS proud and congratulations to Raymond mooney awesome drive

All the best Chris see you ontrack soon with the rest of the UKCT team can't wait The only thing is what server to choose

Quote from Jakg :

Erm, we are special, but even we can't force a tarmac texture to be loaded on your PC - i think you are just over-reading stuff. I'd call this "CTRA Deprivation", it's only cure is still in development...

I see your not a believer jakg

thats no bull I noticed it when in overhead view mode after a race CTRA written in white paint in the middle of the track i did point it out to a couple of the other racers

this was a day or two before the CTRA servers were pulled.

And I don't mind testing out the T1 physics

Good To Hear From You Sully How's The exams Going mate

Good racing On CD2 Last night Lads Really enjoyed it when you can trust the drivers around you (R4R Flip) Good Dice Now to see if I can catch you in my FOX

I Propose two 15 Minute sessions ...... 1 For FOX The Other For FO8's which would result in Drivers getting in 2 x 3 lap sessions to set a time.

and to split the qualifying just to cut down on the inevitable incidents that would occour if you run the two classes together.

The last thing I want to do being a Fox driver is to have to run offline risking an off and Damage to the car on my outlap just to keep out of the way of FO8's that are on a flying lap.

Would make the admins work alot easier as well.

Anyone going to be around tonight as the Trackmasters been very quiet and disjointed lately - I've even been doin Oval looking for members

I'll probably be on The GFC - (Gentlefoot) server the next day or so preparing for sundays race but would also be up for a couple of races in our team server so look us up and lets get racing

Sorry dru I did not realise you had got along side me I glanced in the mirror B4 first apex and you was about 50 yrds behind so held my line as guided in the rules and the next thing i know your grass tracking on the left of me :oops: so sorry I did not realise you had got into that position.

I expected you to go around the other side (wide Line) and just ease away from me on the straight up to the hairpin - the thing is the GF guide states that Fox's should stay on the racing line and the FO8's should Navigate around the fox so taking the apex off the fox is the risky route cause thats my part of the track if the guide is to be followed.

Anyway next time you brake that early expect me to take my piosition back

To be honest dru IMO you were at fault as I held my racing line, you tried to ram yourself up the inside of the second apex and found my fox at the apex before you with the result of you cutting the corner across the grass to avoid me as you was behind me in the race I had the right to keep to my natural line ( I did not deviate or block) in this instance but where I did get caught out was in the next braking zone for the hairpin as you obviously slowed due to your grasstracking I was right behind you and I did not realise that the FO8's brake 30 Yrds earlier than the Fox's hence I got caught out and went up your rear, I did try to apologise after the race for that but never got to send it as the next race started rather quickly so I never got to send it so please accept my late apology.

What I did notice was that the FO8 drivers vote to start races a little quick before some of the Fox's have finished and this for some fox drivers mean we get no restbite between races as one race finshes the next race starts - suppose though I'll just have to get quicker

And I agree that the FO8's and some fox's try some insane passes around the two Chicanes, I really find it hilarious watching the Visitor FO8 drivers spinning out behind me at the top of the First chicane cause they got too close and lost all downforce cause I was ahead of them

anyway as long as we keep learning from our mistakes I have no problem with it as its generally clean or at least it was last night.
