Gauging New LFS Host Interest (USA LFS'ers, Come and post :-)- eu locations too :D)

We'll start in EU

I'll sponsor a few servers, etc.

We'll price based on their usage, about 5/month roughly.

There'll be a 25% off at first even probably.

I'd say 5/month for 20 or so slot full bandwidth 6pps smoothness

Same price for USA

You can get both for lesser cost in the future to provide both services for insim's, etc. Each location has a 100MS ping, this is low enough to host a database on another system :-)

Let me know interest, there's already lots but we're getting a unmetered connection so I want to order the 1st system properly. Windows 03/08 enterprise for max performance & TCAdmin. TS3 optional

Help us help you, we've been working quite awhile to blow the other LFS hosts out the water, with non-oversold systems and unmetered connections we plan to provide fair hosting for your LFS dedi, we already provide the most top notch dynamic PHP/Static hosting in USA/Offshore.

Why not check in the bios?

Also keyboard sucks, mouse is percise.

Sony sucks.
What league or whatever?

I think I'm alright at LFS, I can do better and better PB. Been playing 3+ Years, mostly did crusing/loved distruction derby (Later on) When I got S2, prior I'd play Demo and race around

I can use a trackpad, mouse, gamepad. I prefer mouse, pretty precise besides can't control clutch/brake/throttle force, still can produce good times

Started liking CTRA, not the non turbo I suck at XFG and it dominates XRG on the track often atleast I have alil trouble with it, and I i dislike FWD at most costs, atleast XRG... got banned from a friend using my account on my desktop while I used one of my 2ndary accounts, he logged on CTRA and crashed ever since I never bothered really with racing on LFS besides a few laps time to time on a good host/

Any good race servers (Prefer USA) that are invite only (pass) that I should know about and try to sign up for? Theres rarely any decent servers these days and I'm on 2pm my time, 4am my time, all different times during the week I randomly pop in....

I love LFS but I'd like alil more action besides CarPark and idiots crashing.

thanks anyone who has suggestion , time to open LFS

Quote from Michael Denham :My most memorable experience of chassis flex was driving a Mercedes convertible around the 'Ring and not being able to open the glove box afterwards, no matter how hard I pulled on it.

Shoulda asked to drive reverse after

Quote from cargame.nl :Lifetime on a yearly base

I'll decide later. Don't really need it but with this pricing it doesn't really hurt.

I'm not happy with that UK flag though. Not that I have something against the UK, not at all ... But, everything is based in Europe. Little more spreading would be nice. (US for example). Might need to setup something by myself

Someday mate, someday :o)

I had not much issues using wine on freebsd 7

I have no issues with win 7 64bit with core 2 quad/9600 1024MB

I dont use windows live, or any of that crap software tho. I've had doom3 open while lfs and both ran fine.... ram gets low tho

Quote from Greg New :Hi
I'm responsible for the IHR site's looks and bad coding practices. In actuality their are 470 page errors on our web site. I'm aware of them but certain compromises had to be made in order to get some features in a short time. About 180 errors are generated just by using an original forum template/ skin. Forumotion is a good site but is very restrictive on your access to pages and code (css for example). One of the most common questions for Forumotion users is how to make rotating banners for example. The answer usually is it's not possible. Our site has them though but getting them to work was tricky for me. This holds true for the Jquery scripts that control accordian links.
I'm focusing on Firefox and IE for now but if you have any major rendering errors in Opera let me know as I don't check on that frequently. I also know it renders on Iphone safari as my co-workers show me periodically.
To clarify i'm not a proffessional more like an old school html'er whos learning some new stuff on the fly (Didn't even know about Jquery, ajax, Json until a month ago).
and having fun learning again.
I will address most of the errors eventually but for now it's all about making things look good and being helpful to users. Until we get our own server though compromises will have to be tolerated.

Peace

Gnu

It's not hard to code valid and properly, so far I'd say the design it's self is "OK" doesn't flow quite well though, if you understand what I mean with the colors.

Also why do you need your own server? You're on a free host lmao, that site can't possibly need a dedi server. Also 500server sucks I hate how every god d*** LFS server is HOSTED BY 500 SERVERS, thanks for the 200ms ping ****s. Theres less than 10 servers with under 180MS ping for years

I voted Development is slow and needs to speed up.

Why? Because I atleast hoped for VWS before nearly a year later, here we are a year later, a beautiful 2010 and nothing.

I've been with LFS since like 5-6 years ago, bought s2 after got tired of same demo cars, now it's just boring to open.... it's like playing half life 2 over and over.

Quote from Iron :That doesn't make much sense to me. At a given engine speed you have a given engine power, and since transmission doesn't change power only rpm and torque (except for the transmission losses, but that's not the point here) you always have the same power at the wheels for a given engine speed, no matter which gear you are in. Perhaps you meant wheel speed.

Basically theres optimal ranges for every gear.

On the street 1st goes about 30-40 and you'd wanna shift roughly, 2nd goes... you get the point.

Thats why YOU change the gear ratios and final drive, it's your toy. My 744ti volvo will light them up in 1st and 2nd, sometimes 3rd. If I'm in 1st I shift before 4-5k, otherwise it hits the rev limiter even with half throttle (darn turbo engines ) when I throw a LSD in I want a lower final drive ratio, not sure if 5th is working yet (overdrive/manual tranny, weird one) seems to not be as when I push the button in 4th like i used to do it dont shift....

anyways 5th wasnt much lower as I remembered, 4th i guess i have is 3 or 3.5k rpm at around 80 or so, which always leaves me boosting too much

Quote from dawesdust_12 :You can play LFS in Mac just fine through VMWare, Parallels, or Crossover.

Yeah, no native versions, but all 3 solutions work.

vmware sucks, crossover sucked too but not as bad.

core 2 quad, 9600GT

Wine 1.1.31 or w/e i have atm works okay, still has same speed/slow downs as my freebsd 7.2 8500GT system with dual core amd cpu.... sooo

Quote from LFSn00b :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_State_Classic_Challenge

http://www.silverstateclassic. ... hwy-event-description.htm

145km of unbalanced public road with steep turns and hills would be such an awesome addition to this fine sim and I think it would be a joy to drive.

Sure, NFS prostreet has a few pieces of this nevada state route 318 but they are only 4km-8km. I'd love to drive atleast half of the track(70km)

Excellent idea

I open

Oh look a RX7, yes add that course AND those two cars.

Quote from Bmxtwins :If i were u i would start up a webs.com site and post pricing payment method then make it a .com (unless u are good at making websites)

A webs.com site?

I've hosted major forums and other large services over the years, I'm well established.

Sorry for the lag, we have finally migrated to a new location with over 10 providers multi-homed bandwidth, were migrating over our servers but Iv'e setup a LFS dedi vps w/a dedicated ip which should solve vmwares lag issue.

I used to host LiveToCruise (two servers maxed) on a low ram vps, worked great until after a few days vmwarenatd would eat all cpus and drop packets. If vmware doesn't work I'll be figuring out a working solution.

Does anybody want to gime some pre-configured lfs servers to launch up ?

XenServ will host 5 MAX free public servers, I don't have time atm, I need to get vmware fusion + LFS to run better, or install windows xp and dual boot OSX/XP then maybe I'll beable to figure out LFS dedi's.

However if you've done lfs dedis and would like to setup one for drift, race, etc I'll host it they will be online 24/7 and open to all people.

[email protected] is my msn, c`mon folks lets get some USA servers online

Also I'd like to see how they run for european people, I'll post when I get a basic server up

update
Put up a test demo server, XS Public - Demo
I'd like to run S2 servers however, I'll keep this demo one for testing

Theres no X11 package for Snow Leopard yet it appears, 2.4.1 will be for SL.

uhm I'm trying that wine, one thing I noticed after updating to Z20 from Z18 is tons of artifacting (Whole desktop artifacts violently) so it might be my gfx card is overheating.
LFS and CrossOver slow? (Came from FreeBSD/Wine)

I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.1, hackint0sh. It's performance is great, I had win xp tested right before pop'ing a new drive, 93FPS no matter how much AA/AF, etc.

9600GT 1024MB GDDR3 card :-)

I had a 8500GT 512MB, super slow card that was broken (overheated), I used windows 7 and FreeBSD 7.2 (WhciH I could run at 1440x900 and some AA and decent FPS)

Now I'm using 1660x1050, I get like 23FPS, quality is shittier on crossover, not sure which wine ver exactly ( I think 1.19?/1.1.19?) of wine it's based on, anyone else?

AF doesn't really change FPS, esp when theres people online it slows more it's like wtf, this systems a core 2 quad... last was a X2 4800 AMD.

Oh and other 3D video games arnt slow thanks for any help, I want to have this fixed so I can enjoy the new stuff soon without dual booting

Quote from legoflamb :I'm glad you cleared things up chap. That should be a given but it is also caused by the forces in between each tire. Also the geometry of the front end.



Try 100% parallel steer vs 0% parallel steer with open diff.

You're from california and say chap? I feel like I don't know my area

and yes it's affected by various things, I'd say big sidewalled tires also cherp on slow turning none of my rx7s ever would cherp in parking lots.

It's due to the contact patch of the tire, wide tires will cause scrub
