Something I have noticed is that races in the Banger server don't get recorded to LFSWorld.

I'm sure it did last time?

Fair play Memphis for acknowledging your mistake and reversing your decision.

/falls into wrecking category.

Will, the only time you post these day are in either crashing, blocking or karting threads.

Quote from 510N3D :

i just realized that this thread went straight into the direction i tried to avoid but thats impossible.

Now maybe it was me with this comment:

"And seeing your age, your laps and pb on Kyoto ring tells my your not the specialist so you cant judge on a thing you dont even have a clue at all."

But be realistic, you do something really serious, work your arse off to get faster and you have fun and then there are people with or without any clue that dont think thats possible and say all i have worked for was a joke, everybody can do in less time.

Sorry about the way i react on that and i dont like to repeat myself but: its making me sick because i know its not true.

Yes that is the line that has pissed everyone off.

/sighs

I'm not arguing with you on the Oval subject. I explained my situation on the thread that came up a while ago. But you are kidding yourself thinking you need to do thousands of laps to get quick. If you watch the WR replay and get the same set you can be up to speed within 100 laps. FACT.

Let's not go over that again. OK.

Like I said, you used and have used statistics in the past to try and judge character. I just suggest you don't do it again, or you could be made to look an idiot.

Feel free to PM me, rather than clog up the thread.

/stop hijacking and arguing in my thread...

Quote from 510N3D :

come on chris i told sam why i did that and i know its not a thing to build up but you can get quite an idea of the racer and its interests nothing more. I hope you read my postings one day and then act

I read your postings.

Actions speak louder than words. In my opinion how you reacted to Sams' comments are nothing more than trying to save your own skin.

Just an observation.

Quote from SamH :

It's an odd pastime, running off to LFSWorld to "weigh up" someone conversing on the forum, and then to make protracted assertions based on what you find.

He tried to do that to me in an earlier thread. I suppose it's some sort of dick measuring contest?

Who cares whether you are fast or slow, everyone has the right to an opinion. I know incredibly knowledgeable people who aren't the quickest drivers in the world. That doesn't make the either unqualified or unable to pass judgment.

Sometimes I wish people would think before they act or in this case, posting pure crap!

How about editing those three posts, all into one post?

EDIT: He's done it now.

No excuses for really bad spelling and punctuation.

Download a spell checker for your browser, take an extra couple of minutes making sure it's readable.

By doing so, you will gain more respect and also a better answer.

I would imagine that you are banned in more than 5 servers. If your username gets banded around iB, you won't be able to get on many servers.

The autox cheating thing is sad too.

What is exciting about it, I can't see it running around in ovals," said the 37-year-old German.

Yes, that's what I had before. I heard a rumour that the eyes can only detect differences up to 60 frames per second. Anything above that is undetectable?

Being pretty much a computer noob, I had never fiddled around with any of my computers performance settings. Following a post about how to optimise NASCAR 2003 computer graphics performance, by a fellow vMax Nascar driver, I decided to take a look at my graphics card.

My Computer Specification is:

Intel Pentium 4 Processor 3.4 GHZ
1GB RAM
360GB Hard Drive
GeForce 6200 TM 256MB
19 inch TFT Monitor

Following his advice on how to maximise settings, I changed my settings from the default "look what the application says" setting to the following:

Quote :

Antialiasing settings: 8xS
Anisotropic filtering: 16x
Image settings: High quality
Color profile: Not available
Vertical sync: Manually, turned Off
Force mipmaps: None
Conformant texture clamp: On
Extension limit: Off
Trilinear optimization: Off
Anisotropic mip filter optimization: Off
Anisotropic sample optimization: Off
Gamma correct antialiasing: On
Transparency antialiasing: Supersampling
Tripple buffering: Manually, turned Off
Negative LOD bias: Clamp

Having done this my FPS has dropped from around 90-100 to 30-50. But the game looks so much better, it's like having a new game. I will definitely be doing this for other applications if only to check out the graphics.

I just wish that information on things like this where more readily available for normal people like me. People don't understand what they can do with their systems.

I would like to know peoples opinions on what I have done and whether my system should be running this, or running better? I seem to have a hell of a lot of processes running at the moment even though they aren't taking up much CPU power.

Could someone explain in layman's terms what I have done?
What FPS should I be looking to run in LFS?
Should I change my settings?

Quote from h_heywood :

Thanks once again for all your help.......

I cannot try any of this however, with attempting to re install LFS i have now been locked out as i have used all my unlocks!!!!!!!!!!


WHAT DO I DO NOW????????????????

Either wait or try and contact a developer to add some unlocks. It sounds to me like you aren't extracting the LFS folder.

But what do I know?

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

They look retarded, but apparently they have F1 permission according to what I read. So more power to them, Yet I fail to see how they will do anything else but limit the drivers FOV.

It's my understanding the alter the airflow direction to the back of the car.

I'm sure all will be revealed in due course. In my eyes, fair play to them for trying to improve their performance.

Quote from Dr. 4004 :

Good day!
Maybe my question already asked, but I can't find it on forum.

My account is "Dr. 4004".
Three or four days ago I upload some laps on LFSWorld.net and by
uploading I saw error message "hotlap upload not permitted".
I logout and login again, but still receive it, meanwhile all my hotlaps are disappear.
What happens?
It's bug, or my fault? I search, but can't find anything about it.

I don't think it's possible to upload hotlaps as a demo user.

What I would suggest is keep trying with your setup, then ask for one of another racer. Compare and adjust. See what happens with settings etc.

It's all about having the time to experiment.

Now that made me chuckle. I knew what to expect but it still made me laugh.

Jpeg of the month.

£24, for being involved in a great online community with a great game. I have to say after going to the LFS karting it makes the whole LFS experience soo much better too.

Bargain.

How about a couple of screenshots? Have you extracted your LFS folder?

Bobby,

I wouldn't worry about the tyres heating at different rates. On a track full of left turns you want the right tyres warming, you don't have to worry too much about the left tyres because they hardly used.
