just going to pull out my camera and take some pictures for you ladies .... and no i dont mean my penis... i mean my rig

on private land yea.... thats fine because there isnt any chance of causing harm to other drivers .. but thats not the point what he was making

Falcon... it sounds to me like you are some young teenager that lies on forums like these just to get some "cred" from other kids of a similar age.

say you did drive like you claim. i cant believe that you would drive on open, public roads, putting other motorists lives in danger. how old did you say you where... 14 right? im suppirsed you can even reach the "gas" pedals at that age.

seriously you are endangering the lives of many innocent people by being so careless...

just wait untill you have a LEGAL offical permit. i am 16... never been behind the wheel of a car. i dont intend to untill i am 17 (which is the legal driving age here in the UK). i wouldnt want to put other peoples live in danger in the community i live in...

just think about that.

Zwarte Wind Racing team is looking for new budding members who are interested in racing high profile leagues within LFS such as Masters Of Endurance.

We currently have plans to race the OWRL and the STCC. however for this to happen we require some racers.

if you are interested, please PM showing your interest.

we use a ventrilo chat program to communicate.
http://fragmaster.net/vt - we are in the ZWR channel, and feel free to join us!

is there any other computer using the internet at the same time when you are racing...im sorry thats all i can think of... seems like a rather strange situation.

ive never been a fan of the ATI cards. many people who i know that have one say that the nvidia cards are better.... and from what ive seen i have to agree.

sounds to me like a CPU problem.... check that it isnt overheating. i had that issue with my intel pentium D dual core. only to realise the crappy stock heatsink wasnt attached propperly to the board as the push pin design is crap!

anyway back to topic.... do a google search for a program called speedfan, and check your temperatures.also close all apps running in the background that arnt required for your racing!

i would recommend the geforce xfx 6200 with 256mb RAM. nice and cheap here in england.. paid around £30 for mine!

just reporting back to you that the issue has now been resolved! i messed around with the settings for a little while and nothing was any different. i then thought, well its ran fine on my old system.

so then i began to query the CPU. and low and behold it was! the CPU was overheating like a bitch. this was because the heat sink had come "unclipped" from my motherboard therefore not all the heat sink was in contact with the CPU. ive learnt that this was very dangerous and if left any longer could have damaged my CPU. i used software called speedfan in order to check the temperatures.

anyway.. now this is repaired my LFS is running at the fastest i have ever seen it run! thats at 60-100 fps!

id like to thank you guys who posted here for all your efforts. i can race the MOE 24h after all! hehe

cheers madcatx... ill go and try that now...

and ive also tried a lower resolution

my monitor is the LG Flatron L1717s and i run the game at 1280 X 1024.

yea ive been playing around with it. i just dont know the cause. hmmm its still lingering at a very low frame rate.

seems my card is ok for LFS.. there must be some setting somewhere that ive missed.....

same issue here... however mine is a liitle more extreme.

Take a look at:
http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/2985/fpsod6.jpg

that shows the average frame rate within my lfs. the highest i have ever had with this system is around 26 frames per second. surely this isnt right.

at the start of any race i always get lower than 5 fps!!!!!!! this is seriously annoying and at the moment i am unable to play LFS.

this problem has only started occuring with Patch V.

my system spec:

Intel Pentium D 2.8ghz Dual Core.
1gb DDRII RAM
Nvidia Geforce XFX 6200 256mb RAM
2 x 80gb SATA Hard Disks
On-board HD Sound.

does anyone have any suggestions? maybe a developer of LFS could spread some light on the issue.

thanks.

im usually always around because i have no life. i live for speed . however this week is a no-go because my girlfriend has come to stay for a week soo woohoo .

ill be on again as usual when she has gone

take care dudes.
dan

have done that and still 20 fps at best... hmmmmmm

addition:

Last edited by DANDAMAN05, Wed 27 Dec 2006, 12:56. Reason : addition

anyone any ideas on where the problem lies? this is annoying me, and i have a masters of endurance race to attend on the 13th Jan!

thanks for the comments so far.
dan

yeah ive seen that... just wondering if anyone has the same card and what they have done about it.

hi guys... i have currently aquired a new system which is a significant upgrade from my old computer.

Old comp specs:
AMD Athlon XP 1800+ CPU
Asus A7V33 Motherboard - AGP 4
512mb RAM
Nvidia Geforce XFX 6200 256mb RAM (AGP 8 but system only takes 4)
On-boardsound (sounds great)
(and other things that are irrelivent to this)

New system specs:
Intel Pentium D 2.8ghz Dual-Core
ASrock Motherboard - AGP 8 + PCI E
1gb RAM (DDRII)
Nvidia Geforce XFX 6200 256mb RAM (same card)
on-board HD sound

now the problem is that my frame rate in LFS quit frankly sucks. average around 10-30 FPS (with old and new pc). This however only came about in Patch V. where in patch U my frame rate was around 40-50 (with old pc).

i have all the recent graphics drivers, directx ect... however the problem is still there.

i am at the moment unable to buy a new card due to funding issues.

i have made the grahpics in LFS as "least" as possible without it looking stupid. and i still get the same frame rate.

anyone have any ideas on how i can opitimize my Nvidia Geforce XFX 6200 as i only bought it about 2 months ago.

thanks alot
dan.

Zwarte Wind Racing Team is looking for new members, who are willing to participate in leagues such as Masters of Endurance.

We require a few drivers who are fast in the GTR class (mainly FXR). We are faced with the toughest challenge yet, the 24h Masters of endurance race. I understand that some drivers want to race the MOE, but cant becuase they are not part of a team. This is your chance!

We want drivers who are fairly active on LFS and are able to come to a ventrilo server on regular occasions. want to find out more?

Ventrilo Server: vt.fragmaster.net
Port: 27200
Channel: ZWR Team (under LFS Racing)

are need more members in the team who are willing to race the MOE and other leagues that the team decides to enter. our main focus at the moment is for GTR drivers, however if you arnt much of a GTR racer, you can still apply as we aim to enter a wide range of leagues covering most the the car classes within LFS.

If you are interested in joining the team, please contact us via the ventrilo server above, or e-mail the team mail-box with your request. - [url="mailto:[email protected]"]ZWR Mail Box[/url]. Also you can PM me in these forums.

Feel Free to join our LFS server [ZWR]Practice


Thanks... AND GOOD LUCK!
