As Dan said,

Download http://www.getright.com/ and it can resume the transfer even if it breaks off which is what seems to be happening to you.

Not sure why your transfers are ending early, as it could be down to many things..... ISP, router, NIC, BT or even Richard Branson !

Getright will solve your problems

TC is realism and it makes the car drivable and heaps of fun. I don't think anyone could keep it on the straight and narrow for an hour without it.

Get REAL, Get TC

Quote from nutty boy :I'm not sure what you mean there gentlefoot.
Right when i extract it there's a data folder there obviously with all the stuff i just mentioned in. I extract it into my current data folder so it creates another data folder in the data folder. Should i copy everything from that second data folder into the appropriate folders in the first data folder

You extract it into your LFS folder !!! NOT the data folder ! illepall

Try again

I would only jump out of a plane if it were firmly on the ground

As for formula 1, it should be as safe as possible, but it would become as popular again if there were more crashes... even if the driver has no injuries... nobody has to die!

They should make the cars harder to drive to bring back the 'edge' but make sure the driver is well protected by cocooning him in a fireproof, shatterproof ( you get the idea ) shell, which limits his head movements too.

The there would be more thrills and spills but it would be reasonably safe

Either Eric has had some relaxation time

or

He's spent most of his time working on a new track ?!

If it's the new track, then it might be something BMW/Sauber asked for .... which would be something special I think....

When you win the lottery you can make a replica Blackwood (Devs permitting) and invite BMW to test the F1.06 there.

Then we'll know

There's no point in grooving the tyres, they will look perfectly find in LFS!

As they are generated on the fly, I'd imagine that it would cost quite a bit more CPU to work out the deformations if there are real grooves, rather than a texture.

Of course Scawen could do this, but it might hurt FPS for some of the slower GFX cards out there

Maybe, but I imagine that the Racing part of BMW is far removed from the car manufacturing part..... so maybe not!

It's possible I guess, but I think it would be a whole new agreement.

Quote from deggis :Ever heard about immersion? Currently LFS doesn't give an immersion that you'd be inside a race car. And what you see all the time when you drive? That's right, the cockpit.

I've driven thousands of miles in my job... at a guess 15 years X 100 miles / day , given 200 working days a year about 300,000 miles + weekend and leisure driving..... countless miles....

I'd say that for 99.999999 percent of the time during this period I was actually looking at the road ahead of me and in my mirrors, and not at the dashboard of my car.

So your idea of immersive is to look at the cockpit of the car ??? Then you will probably crash a lot IRL

Reality (Immersion) is the road ahead and behind, not your dials..... pretty though they may be.

That said, I'll agree that it's good for LFS as a commodity to have better looking cockpits, for the boy racers out there

I'm not going either..... but, where are we not going to ?
CharlieP

LOL, I must be the only LFS'er who doesn't give a flying F@rt what the cockpits look like

The way the car drives is important to me, not how it looks.... inside the cockpit or out....

Bitchin about missing polygons is a joke.... The joke is the person who zoomed in close enough to the mesh to notice it!

Don't you guys.... 'Just drive' ?

and I don't mean NK "Pro" ... I mean LFS

I enjoy the driving way to much to care about how the car looks.

You won't have time to see the suspension in-game anyway

It's how it drives that really counts!

and I still maintain they are perfectly correct, you just haven't seen a top-down view of the real car

Go find one

No they are correct , go look at the Sauber site

Can't be bothered to post a link for you...
Interesting Feature ?

I don't believe we have the whole story yet with this patch !

Remember Vic said....

'We have also been experimenting with another interesting feature as well... '


I don't think we know what this is yet, do we ?

Is it going to be working buttons on the F1 wheel... i.e Traction Control etc....? or something Else ?

Could be Night Racing, Weather, ...... What is it ?
CharlieP

Ditto beauty..... and the BIG surprise

Now, what REAL track have BMW/Sauber asked the devs to produce for them ?

any guesses ?

Quote from the_angry_angel :Great minds... :detective

No, They'd have shown us the F1 before release so the problem couldn't have happened at the last minute...... and if a problem occurred earlier, they would have had plenty of time to make a day 6, 7 ,8 pages......

So, no, I don't think there was a problem.... I think the devs are EVIL and like to see us all suffer!

Anyway, enjoy the show and the patch will be here very soon

Shouldn't you be at school ?

Can they really 'top' the F1 car ??? and BMW/Sauber collaboration ???

Maybe with a new track, or night racing ?

or today they will announce the patch release date, or actually release it.

Or is there something you can think of that's bigger than the F1 Car ?

Lets hope todays riddle is 'Who needs 10 mins to go round the Ring?'
