Just got the exact same error on leaving FE6R pits in a LX4. It's happened a few times here, I thought it was due to the copious amounts of AI I was using No AI this time though...

It works most of the time, and continues to work with no problems. But leaving the pits the odd time, it crashes for some reason

FailBox is a more gaming-orientated system IMO, whereas the PS3 is marketed as more of an "entertainment" system. Of course, they are at least equal in terms of games, with the PS3 being slightly better performance-wise. Plus wi-fi, wireless controller, 1080p, blu-ray and 40-80GB HDD (I don't consider the 20GB to be a serious attempt :razz, all as standard. AND, support for all PS1/PS2 legacy games. On top of all that, it's a Sony, which is infitely more reliable than Microsoft. I still have the original PlayStation1 (the HUGE grey box), still works perfectly

PS3 looks far prettier, both as a machine (neither of 'em look fantastic, but the PS3 does look much more modern, plus it matches my PC case perfectly), and as a system. The FailBox is harder to navigate IMO, with it's fidgety tab yokes. PS3 on the other hand, has 6 or 7 clearly labeled icons that you can scroll between, each bringing up an equally well-labeled menu. The online system is free, and is just as lag-free as the xbox system, and has the same "friends" feature.

I've owned both, but only have the PS3 now, got rid of the FailBox. PS3 is just better

(DragonCommando != Riders Motion :razz

I'd take you up on the offer, except my wheel still has a little bit more in it...Might end up snapping something before the warranty expires and getting it replaced anyway

I disagree. This isn't iTracing, and I really don't like their method of pay-per-content. That could be OK if add-ons are released after the final version of LFS, but I think for now it should stay as it is.

I also don't think BL1R should be re-added. If someone is that in love with that particular config, they can drive backwards around the normal config. A config here and a car there all adds up. There's nothing new to be experienced wih the teverse config either, it's not like a new type of car or a new environment, it's going to feel the very same as BL1 once you get used to the corner layout

Bump - LFS just crashed for me for no apparent reason. I was testing out the XFG's ABS setting, cruising up BL1 straight and locking the brakes. Just before T1, "LFS.exe has stopped working". Weird thing is, my FFB is still pulling to the left, as it was when LFS crashed. I'm running Vista, and I'm not sure where to get error information, but this is what comes up when you click "Problem details"

Hope that has everything needed, I don't know where else to get further crash info

E: Exact same thing as Dustin, oh wow

Wow looks brilliant! Amazingly, I was just thinking today that if it goes any longer there won't be much time for an xmas release. Brilliant job guys, as per usual

1GB is the download cap I think. He wants to know how long he'd have before LFS downloads over 1GB, which would cut him off.

I have to say, I've never worn a helmet where it seems to protude 6 inches from my chin, like the grid screenshot. I've never really noticed anything other than the top visor, and depending on the helmet, the top of the chin guard.

-1 from me, if I wanted one really badly I could add an overlay to LFS

Yes, by using a "proxy" program, couldn't more than 8 connections be made? i.e., the proxy connects to LFS, and then each InSim app connects to the proxy, which manages all of the packets and ports. It would have difficulties, such as sending request replies to the correct program, but theoretically it's possible, isn't it? (proxy is probably the wrong word for this, sorry...)

Same, I have it on PS3 and it's much better looking, especially looking at the water...And it also shoots it out at 1080p

It depends. If you're willing to spend a few hours doing it right for maybe a 30% increase in power at best (maybe you could get more with some decent cooling and a lucky chip, I don't know), then do it. Have a read up on it first, and take your time. If done right it can give a very noticeable performance increase, and would be very noticeable in single-threaded LFS, which only uses one core. It's up to you really

I found one of the earlier S1 patches as a free demo on PC Gamer (I think. This was about 4 years ago), and loved it. Soon after, got my S1, and a year later had to go for S2

You used a gig of internet in a day? I don't use that much on our fixed line

I lasted an entire month over the summer when I was away from home with a 1GB mobile broadband thingy from 3. Worked out cheaper than our fixed line too, payed €5 for 30 days

Signal is entirely hit and miss affair with 3G IMO. At one side of my room, my phone has full 3G coverage, yet in the bedroom next door, it's halfway down 2.5G I was lucky enough to have near full coverage where I was for the 2 months, imagine spending 2 months with no internets :eek:

Woohoo 3rd last (Although it must be a bit old...We can get up to 30mbps in cities now ya know)

LFS should run fine for you, think of all the people on dial-up who have much worse speeds, and they manage fine. As for the bandwidth, I don't have an exact figure, but there's no fear of your 800-odd MB being used up in an evening. I'd be very surprised if you couldn't get a week's worth of LFS out of it to be honest

Quote from S14 DRIFT :I have a Q6600 SLACR and was wondering if you could help me achieve a small overclock - Say to around 2.8ghz, on my standard Chipset cooler. D:

I've no idea how good/terrible the standard cooler is, I got a tray CPU and fitted an AC Freezer 7 Pro on it But just go into teh BIOS, find the clock utility, and increase slowly. Then run speedfan and go run Prime95 or play some heavy games. Eventually you'll find a spot where it's either unstable, or running too hot. Then just decrease the overclock, and leave it there
