What I've done in the past is replaced the brazil CSG server with a jpg image I want to use as the background for the whole scene. Just load a bitmap image into one of the material editors slots, then drag it onto the CSG server button in the brazil renderer section.

If you use Gunn's method I think you'll need to disable the brazil ground plane.

I take it the ricemobile isn't finished yet?

I't's too easy to just keep a copy of your ptach V executable in your lfs folder and use it when you like. I have mine named LFSV.exe and it works fine with patch W in there named LFS.exe.

I see it in the server list.

You'd have to use another program to change tracks for you. I forget what's available now. Check the unnofical mods section.

Post a multiplayer replay, it sounds like your internet connection that's lagging. Do you use wireless maybe?

lol r2 d2. Something fishy is going on if it's giving you errors. Writing down the exact error would help narrow down the problem. Not sure hoiw lfs can disable all screenshotting programs either. As mentioned try a fresh install of complete patch W.

Dead fish clan rokx read the thread it's linked to hehe

You can only asign one button to a function unfortunately. So if you want to swap between using the paddles and the shifter you'll need to reassign those buttons in the options, or set them up in the script for different cars.

Quote from Venus :

OK I did that... downloaded and installed. It runs; but it keeps saying DriftPB.txt and PB.txt have not been created, then it stops. I have set it so the database command points exactly to the right folder. I even tried putting them in most of the obvious folders, but nothing seems to work. The readme said it would be created if missing; but its not doing that. Or else, if it is, its forgetting where it put it. lol.. tho I doubt that given everyones success with it.

I ran the netmakebuild too. Worked, though had some warnings.

Any ideas? Should anything be in the PB etc files other than the header? It also says, at the end of the run, before it closes.

"An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."

That's normal, don't worry it'll create those files when needed That exisitng connection error is strange though, you're not trying to run two isnim apps? Insim properly setup?

My advice, don't start teams because you can't join one. There's always a team that is looking for people, some teams don't advetrtise they are recruiting but are always accepting of new members, if they fit with the team philosophy. So you're better off joining an established team then starting your own. If no team will take you, then I'd start looking at yourself and what you can offer.

Personally I'm sick of all these teams starting up and lasting a week, or teams accepting anyone into their team because they need members. Get to know your fellow racers then you can make a decision.

And to some one else it'l look xtremely cool. Why does it bother you how other people look? let them look silyl in your eyes on your screenshot or movie, it's only someone else.

.net doesn't come with sp2, you need to download it seperately I have both 1.1 and 2.0 installed just incase any apps need them and don't have any probs.

Ugliest avatars ever, and now I have to look at them. Who can make out half the crap from google earth anyway.

I'd say directx isnt upto date.

also noticed you extracted lfs to root c:? make a folder for it

haha nice one guy My laugh for the day jeje

I didn't know what it was at first either, in fact I'm not even sure I noticed it before someone pointed it out.

I think it's great how they get people all worked up. It's the only reason I've actually ever used the models and have one priofle especially setup with the most annoying player hack.

rear fog lights? what good does that do?

btw, no picture is showing up

even if there was such a thing, they'd be to high to be called foglights anyway

Used in bad weather conditions like fog, dherr, so you can see how far infront the car is.

This is the set I use for Fern Bay.

I can see how using virtual dials and not seeing your mirrors is realistic lol

If you download the whole new version of W not just the small update patch then extract W over the top of T making sure that you overwrite everything.

Move the sliders on ther bottom left hand side You cna also turn off the sky.

Quote from J.B. :

Can you explain this in detail? Say my screen has 1680x1050 pixels (16:10) and I connect a HDTV decoder box that outputs a 1920x1080 (16:9) signal. Now the screen with no aspect ratio options will take the 1920x1080 signal and resize it to 1680x1050 thus distorting the AR.

What the HDTV box needs to do to prevent this is add extra black pixels to the top and bottom of the image for which it also needs to know the AR of my screen.

Is this what these kind of devices typically do?

That's a good question and one I can't answer as I've never tried that. I only use my monitor for my pc but I'd say that hooking up to something would probably stretch it since the AR of monitors and tvs is different. Maybe if the set top box is smart it'll detect a plug n play monitor and scale accordingly. I know that I don't have switch the AR from 16:9 to 4:3 on my tv, it's done automaticaly and my graphics card adds black bars to the top and bottom and to the sides if necessary when watching movies or tv shows.

Quote from J.B. :

But what about connecting a Blu-Ray player or a PS3 or a HDTV decoder box? For me it's the monitors job to deal with the AR not the GPU's.

ALl those have built in AR adjustment so the monitor doesn't need to do it. Hell I don't even use the AR adjustment on my tv because all the other boxes have automatic AR adjustment and provide a fully digital signal.

If you get a TFT that uses DVI you can use your video card to adjust the ratio automatically so the monitor doesn't have to do it. I wouldn't even bother with an analog screen really.

Yes the GS is the one. Here it is $200, so 120E when converted.
