3800+ X2 @ 2.5ghz, 7900GS and plays fine at 1280x720 full detail with HDR enabled but I've sacrificed AA. Don't really need it since the graphics are pretty damn sharp anyway.
I haven't come across any bugs yet. Although I am on a very fresh windows install. Oh for soem reason I can't get my wheel working hehe that might be a bug.
Just wondering if we could get the older packs for download? I happen to prefer some of the older engine sounds and I don't have them anymore since I overwrote them with the latest pack.
How the hell do you get a wheel working with this game? Is a wheel any good? I've just been playing for 3 hours with the arrow keys trying to finally unlock the bike stores but the popo keep busting me and throwing me in jail. Driving around to unlock stuff has me cursing since it's like NFS, the physcics are just like NFS as well, even in Hypersport or whatever the most realistic mode is.
Graphics are superb though, HDR is gorgeous and not really over the top with bloom effect. I wish LFS had the same collisions
All the tracks and cars have a 3 letter combination. Don't feel too daunted by them now, give it a month or so and you'll soon know all the abbreviations.
Don't remember exactly when I got into LFS but I registered in April 2003. My mate told me about it and said it was a great racing game you drive using the mouse. I'd only played NFS before then so was intrigued and downloaded the demo which was 0.2, still have it installed on my old hard drive. Loved it since I first drove it, felt so realistic and was a great challenge.
Sort of got bored of the demo cars and I checked on LFS every one in a while till S1 and I then got a wheel. But life took over, I forgot all about LFS and sold the wheel. Rewind 5 months I find myself with heaps of time and remember LFS. Check the website and there's something called S2 now. Sweet. Download the demo, have a play and get hooked more than ever. 1-2 weeks later I'm buying a licence and ordering a G25. The rest is history
There's now ay of knowing what port a server is running on unless you know the config file. Try using Browse For Speed, it might speed things up a bit.
Cmon guys it's not that hard and there's a heap fo wheels already made. Check out the pre made mega packs by andylec and you're sure to find something that closely resembles your design, then you can edit a few vertices and you're done.
