well you must have one hell of a GFX card if you can run 16xAA
AA is anti aliasing, AF is anisotropic filtering, with my x1900 gt I can set max 6x AA and max 16x AF.
if you mean compared to 4xAF 16xAF doesn't bring much of a difference but fps drop I can understand that (although I am not sure what does AA and what does AF with the graphics), try to use AA as well to see the difference visually. If you can'T see any difference between no AA and no AF and 4xAA and 16x AF something must be wrong with your settings. maybe they don'T work at all, I had that before and it turned out I was using the wrong tool.
were you actually in the race? have you joined the session? because unless you have a car and thus a setup assigned there is nothing LFS could send the other guys. I believe that is why there was no button for it either.
edit: dammit Misko was quicker
yes, I thought it was a lot of time, but you could just do a comparison with a 30 sec or 1 minute clip to see if there is any significant difference or not and consider later if it would be worth the extra time at all.
well your system should be more than enough to get decent quality videos.
there are quite a lot video makers in our hungarian forums and the experienced ones suggested recording at lower speeds (0.25 gives the best frames, but 0.5 would also do I guess) to avoid the real time fullscreen fps problems. Also you should succeed with 32 bit this way as well. worth a try I guess
when doing the editing you just need to speed up the playback to get real time speed. this will result in a lot smoother playback, also with the new patch slower playback will also produce good sounds, so there is really no drawback here, except for the more time consumed capturing the scene.

7800 gtx is a decent card indeed, so maybe her cpu is the weak point, as is my p4 3ghz next to my x1900gt.
your 2nd line is quite unclear to me though, you might want to recheck it so ppl can understand it
what is 1337? and what does leet mean at all?
and what is a fair bit? I consider below 4xAA and 16xAF is still to ragged. if Becky's video card can't take more then let's get a good cause up to get a decent GFX card for her great video, commentary was the best so far (sorry Mike and Tristan 
, I hope you are going to even better this with round 4 ) due to the thing someone mentioned before that Becky managed to show some real enthusiasm for the actions on the track, was very lively.
The radio sounds were funny when I first heared them, but they are a good addition as were the sounds from the start/finish straight camera angle.
Becky I was wondering if you used any AA and AF when recording, because the edges seemed too ragged in the video, also a try with XviD would be worthwile, it should be possible to improve the quality of the video further.
looking forward to the next release as I will probably feature in it a little more than in this one

or he could look through this thread: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=12206
how would that be possible without wings attached generating downforce?
yea, there seems to be a general problem with the server, as no other server related hungarian LFS sites are working.
should be fixed this evening, hopefully.
it didn't, so no need to apologise
a good question, please ask it on the english say what board on our site and Palee or Gergo will answer it, I am not sure about this, I am not the webmaster
but you can easily check by downloading and checking the latest date of the setups included.
obviously only good for hotlapping, as they are WR setups, a fast car is loose, which is hard to drive.
however I completely agree with you, for the general average driver these aren't of much help, but as you also state a good starting point and it isn't hard to adjust a couple of settings to make it last longer and easier to drive ( I always do).
We could have made setup uploading open for the whole community, but that would have only resulted in 100's of crap setups uploaded for each combo and only 4-5 really useful ones.
Nevertheless I still support the idea to give upload rights to people who feel they are creating good and useful setups, but you have to understand that this can only be open for a selected and small number of individuals, who have a good reputation in sim racing/LFS.
I would welcome any volunteers who feel they can contribute to the setupfield in a really positive way, by adding nice setups. drop a pm to me, or a note in our forum and let us know what you could add to setupfield.
2. to make stg better is not a suggestion, it is a request, by suggestions I meant ideas, constructive ideas
3. nothing constructive here either, sorry
we cannot make something better if we don't have specific ideas, your problems are too general, we could do and change things, but they might make things even worse, so there is no point currently.
Improvement suggestions are always welcome in our forums or at the say what board, if it is a good idea, we will try to implement it.
there have been requests to have the possibility to download all the setups in one zip file, it has been done as well.
what are the stars all about?
1. that's a valid point, we have hungarian servers, bandwidth is not the best for foreign countries
2. so what? isn't a webdesign contest
3. suggestions welcome, but how can someone make a setup easier to find than having all the cars and tracks listed and you only have to click the appropriate field to see all the uploaded setups for the specific combination. if you move the pointer upon one of the mines, it also shows the combo in a tooltip style, so I really don't get your point.
4. probably the same issue as in no.1
nice videos, funny how the driver has the legs in the cockpit, but has no arms and steers with telekinesis
pretty cool stuff blending racing games with other ideas I played the ctdp mod as well and didn't notice the legs before
the idea itself was really good, it could have been the best possible of comparison of both sims. what is a better basis than having two supposedly identical cars to be compared? (ok, having the same track as well)
however they just did a vague review, instead of going into deep technicalities of both setup and physics.
I tried both BMW-s, I liked the LFS one better, no wonder, LFS physics simulate weight shifting and tyre physics way better and more detailed.
One thing I am sure about is that the two default setups differ in many ways, they could at least have made an effort to adjust the settings to be similar in the restricted way it was possible, of course LFS suspension and differential settings aren't that detailed and also the ECU setting is missing, but the main things like susp stiffness, ride height, tyre pressure, camber, gear ratios and steering options could all have been matched in a pretty good way.
Now wouldn't that have given a much better clue on where the two sims differ?
Shame on ASS for claiming to be a sim magazine and not caring about such basic things.

ever played f1gp from microprose in the early 90's? it had tyre sets simulated if I remember correctly, so you had to choose which set you wanted to use in practice, qualy and race.
Of course simulation wasn't very detailed, but this added to realism, gosh did I play a lot with that game with the keyboard.
I used to handicap my car to give the AI a chance, they still never beat me though huh? who are you again?
yep, I am driving around much more than in the past couple of months and I am pretty bored at work so I don't have anything better to do then read the forum
as a good old song goes: who the f**k is Failure?!?
ps: sorry no offense, but I really have no clue who he is, I know the other two though and I've been into LFS for a few years now
are you sure on this? did something change in the setup effects since S1?
yesterday I was solving excessive corner exit oversteer (on the fox) by reducing the rear anti rollbar, according to your suggestion, with this I would have had even more oversteer.
was this only a typo by you, or you really did experience it this way?
as far as I know in all sims more front ARB results in more understeer, more rear ARB results in more oversteer. Also more ARB is used to even out tyre load over the two sides of the car, but I haven't experienced this to be working for me yet.
I've never heard James Allen, so I would listen to your version of it. By the way don't worry about your voice, I was really surprised how professional you sounded despite not doing this before at all. so good job and keep it up! I am hoping to be included in the next one myself, I sent my entry form this morning...
impressive!
but I noticed there were only around 13 drivers, are there still open spaces?

generally when reading forums I see people moaning about bad ffb and such in ISI games, then the more experienced ISI-ers tell them that they need to change this and that (with notepad in a config file!) to make the ffb thus the car feel good.
though I don't make a fuss about ffb as I turn it off as soon as I see an isi game and it works ok, I played GTR and GTL without it and I enjoyed it, but I can't help the feeling that it doesn't feel quite right. LFS did the first time I tried it with the KB, ISI games are very different, enjoyable, but not in the same way as LFS.
what annoys me in ISI games (especially in rfactor) is that apparently you can tweak settings/physics/stuff for it to feel alright. but LFS is just good right out of the ZIP file.
I tried the CTDP 2005 mod for rfactor and the first thing I turned off was the headshaking at high speeds. of course there was no option for that, you have to tweak a file with notepad.
also the ISI Barcelona track supplied with the new patch is very different from the Simbin versions and that's strange. why can't they recreate a track realistically if they get the rights for it?
