Quote from Weasley123 :If the car hasn't been started and it's in first shouldn't it stall when it starts (as that's what some cars with roughly the same power as the demo cars do), when I press the ignition on LFS the car starts regardless of what gear it's in. If it was in gear with the clutch disengaged then it should stall.

I think you mean engaged

I half-agree, I think that they should be able to start with the clutch partially released though. At the moment, the car dies unless you have the clutch 100% in.

I'd also like to see the button actually using the ignition, so that you could keep it held down to keep the starter motor turning. And then the starter motor could eventually die, or the battery could flatten (I believe nKP has something similar, but I've never played it). It's a bit advanced for LFS at the moment, however it would be a nice touch for the future

That's a problem with your controller then. LFS doesn't make up the axes as it goes along

I'm actually about to order new gauges for my own car. God damn it I'm considering those Crouch gauges now. Curse you Niko

Also, chinchilla doesn't need a capital. You wouldn't say "Oh, look at that Dog standing beside that Horse in the field with the Tree!". Just had to point that out

I've never been banned, vote ban or otherwise. But I suppose that's what happens when you hang around the demo crowd for 4 odd years

The answer is for the server admins to disable vote-banning. It won't be removed, as there's no problem with it, just the users.

What's the bet that it's a Dev posting as a demo user to let off some steam?

Better with just the one set of numbers IMO. It is a HUGE improvement on what used to be there however, well done

Mate, you need that dictionary soon. Not only are you repeating yourself, but you don't even know what you're saying means

Quote from Mp3 Astra :You may hate me for this, but I guess we'd need reverse turn numbers as well. Maybe in a different colour?

Looking great though!

I don't think so. Just count backwards

I've started updating the old S1 images to new ones too, there aren't many though

Quote from dawesdust_12 :OSX = WIN

All you should stop being PC Fanboi's and get your heads out of your asses and use something good.

As I thought. I swear Mac users are like the Jehova's Witnesses of the internet. They're great to recruit people, but ask a simple question like "Why?" and they'll repeat themselves over and over in an endless circle of brainwashiness

Quote from dawesdust_12 :Yeah, running Windows 7.

Something you PC users can't install, because drivers don't exist for your crappy 386's for Windows 7.

I have had 100% success with 7 so far (excluding Daemon tools, 'cpz they're too lazy to upgrade their emulation), I've been using it as my main OS since 7000 was released without issues. This is because it's MADE for x86 systems. (x64 is a different story from what I hear, but I jumped off that ship after the Vista fiasco)

Quote from dawesdust_12 :I have a car, and 2 Mac's. just work a bit harder (and stop being lazy) and you'd be able to afford something decent, and a crappy car.

I have a car, full use of another, a motorbike, 2 laptops, and a PC that costs less than your Mac yet is infinitely better. Unfortunately my car cost a fair bit more than my PC though, but it'll hold the value when I sell it in a couple of years. I do work hard (working summers for the last 4 years, two jobs on the go at the minute) though, and funded all of these myself.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :Also using OSX is better than Windows, so why format the whole thing? Learn to use something decent.

No, if you want a nice clean OS, use Ubuntu or similar. Even this can run 95% of the apps Windows can run at decent settings. You have failed to give any actual reasons why OSX is better, apart from admitting you need to use Windows to play games. The hardware is more advanced, but it's priced as such too. I can get 4GB of DDR2 PC8400 for less than €30, so your argument for hardware is irrelevant.

Also, isn't dual-booting Windows on your Mac and saying it can play anything a PC can a bit stupid? You're depending on the OS you're flaming to play games I could dual-boot into OSX too if I wanted to, and complain about not being able to run anything I want, and having to conform to Steve Jobb's twisted ideas of "user-friendliness". I do put up with Bill Gate's bloatware on my PC, but it can still run anything I throw at it without needing to change OS'.

OOC, how much did your Mac cost? My PC cost less than €700, and can run Crysis at HD resolutions with everything turned up full (including 16QX AA and 8X AF) without dipping below 30FPS, even on the ship level (although if I could survive long enough to kill the big yoke I'd be happy ).

OSX does look pretty, if it's a stationary image you're looking at. Once you actually use it though, it's a different story

Either a USB wifi dongle, or if the router doesn't have wireless, you'll have to run an ethernet cable through the wall. If you're willing to spend a bit of cash (say, $60-70) you could get a powerline network kit, which just plugs into the wall. It uses the electricity lines in your house as the wiring, and you can plug in a receiver into any socket in your house, to get internet.

But doesn't a 1-port router defeat the very purpose of a router, i.e., to route? The modems we've had have all been ethernet, and you could have them plug directly into the PC if you wanted.

Quote from pb32000 :It could quite easily be a modem and 1-port router...

That's just a modem. What's the point in having a cable going from the modem into the router, and then having just one port out on the router?

Quote from theirishnoob :but people forget their limits and exceed them easily, also, for example my father was one of the first with the meteor one - perfect speed, within a week it went to dail-up speeds.


Broadband line.... also, since you in the states, price around - super high speeds for next to nothing ( depending where you live )

No, I meant an actual wifi card for the PC, to connect to his home router (assuming it has wireless, but I have yet to see one issued by an ISP, at least in this country, without it).

If it only supports one PC, it isn't a router, it's a modem

Sorry to interrupt the discussion of fat ozzies and massive ZORSTS, but I can finally post in this thread

Pretty much standard 1.3 Mini 35, with a few patches of rust (don't they all :rolleyes. Needs a bit of work, currently sitting in my shed with the whole interior stripped and gutted, ready to be attacked with an angle grinder and MIG welder I'm hoping to setup a page with updates on the project as I go along, as I'm planning on making a proper job of it. I have a few things in mind, but I'll wait until I get the structure sorted first

Quote from logitekg25 :so i am kinda screwed no matter what i do :weeping:

No you're not. You're not struggling to put food on the table, put petrol into your car, pay your bills and hold down a steady job. You just can't decide what console to keep.

As for the internet, get a USB wifi dongle for the PC. They start from less than $5
