Hello Scawen
I`m one dude from Bulgaria and play this game from 3 years, but now i have a litlle problem. I live in poor country, and i haven`t money for license, tell me how i can to unloch the new test patch Y31 to drive with all cars
i m demo racer. tnx and sorry for my bad english, i hope you helo me tnx again

you'll have to wait for Patch Z before updating your demo

OK,

the test patches are great, but I have got one thing which is a major problem to me...

the updated speedo on the UFR.

Any chance that the contrast of the rev limit light can be increased. At the moment when driving with 'real' speedo etc it is almost impossible to see the rev limit light flash up due to its dull colour compared to the gear light indicator.

I was hoping that you could change this but looking thorugh the colour options in display etc I could not find anythnig apart from using the fox dashboard back light, but unfortunately the gear indicator and rev limit are not covered by this.

Any chance this can be made a 'bright' 'contrasting' light once more please

Thanks,

Dru.

Here U are

I done that skin, in maybe,hmmmmm, 5 minutes,so that thing that you say that dont have time,lol.....

....maybe 6 minutes was needed - you spelt Hannah wrong altohugh it is confusing as the license name and racer name is different as is the name in the thread compared to the one she(?) asked for

do i get a finders fee?

Congratulations on a happy ending

Quote from Scawen :

I didn't know whether you really meant I should ignore you... It's hard to ignore a crash report though.

But it seems it was something to do with loading a file?

Please do post an explanation if you post a crash report, otherwise it's just a bit worrying and confusing!

Yeah - sorry Scawen, forgot to delete the attachment.

Basically I had updated an older version of X rather than wait 20 minutes copying my Y24 folder, and the problem was hte server went to SO6 which clearly in the older installation - i did not have.

HOpe that clears it up ... like i say, i'm a muppet.

(removed as I upgraded an older version of X )

Anyone got any suggestions then for a second HDD?

looking to spend £80 tops.

Throw her away!

Quote from Bean0 :

The only 'horror stories' I know of are when people are reinstalling and have one drive with 2 identical sized partitions...it can be very easy to reinstall onto the wrong one and lose the data you thought you were keeping.

Hmmmmm maybe thats what Chris did


Ok,

So then peeps.. as a secondary drive - what should I go for? or should I get a larger than 250GB one and transfer everythnig (excluding OS) onto it?

All suggestions welcomed

Current Spec

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Asus P5N-E SLI 650i Socket 775
GeForce 7600GT 256MB TV

250 Gb SATA HDD

Looking to get and add a second HDD (if only to help Fraps ability)


Anyhow - is it a simple case of adding it and there it all works or will i have to do 'special stuff' or should I just get an external one?

I've heard 'horror' stories about people adding additional HDD's to a system and then it wiping the existing one

Cheers,

Dru

not bad mate - but all this stuff is quite easy if you know how

Quote from AstroBoy :

Yeah wasnt directed at you Dru sorry. I guess i should have used a Full stop insted of the comma.

hehehe no worries Astro

Quote from mikey_G :

Originally I started with 5 boxes but later doubled it to 10, and I honestly can't think of any league that used 30 different race control messages...

So if you really, really need 30 boxes, please explain why and persuade me

If it was Butz you could understand mikey - remember hes gotta use up the 30 buttons on his home made wheel..

Quote from Bean0 :

Any good ?

wrong way around bean0

he wants light on top - despite showing a picture of dark on top and says like that


so here it is - tweaked


We got us a Concept Racing Metalic Green Skin - off

Quote from G!NhO :

its good, but not exactly what i mean

with shaded i mean more like this
http://images31.fotosik.pl/278/47dbea41caf987c3.png
the top is darker than the side of the car, can you do that please.

The picture you had was lighter on the top than the bottom and this was done with hte shading kit...

..it can be done that way round - but you want the darker on top?

I'd just get a decent reflection mod for LFS and it'll look greart anyway

Quote from AstroBoy :

I have to agree Dru, back lets say a couple of months but you were in one team...you know which one, then jumped to another one the next. I dont belive your credibility, as a driver im sure your alright, but your attitude...

your talking about AMB and not me right m8

Congratulations on the 5 members - but really - is it really possible that with all those numbers possible 2 of your team are effectively the same number? 07 and 007 - makes me laugh..

Quote from G!NhO :

Hi,

I got a simple FZR skin request, i only want a nice green color like in the pics.
It has to be shaded like in the pics, light and the darker green.
It would be great if someone would make this for me.

Bottom of the Cramer Curves

what does 'one day' mean?

next week,

next month,

next year,

next decade?


The first one - as it doesn't look half as silly as the other

Quote from Clownpaint :

@dru - From my observation nobody in Mercury really believed his story, but he was rushed in to shelter his "potential" from rival teams. It was understandable given the circumstances, but perhaps the announcements were a bit premature.

Yeah - from everyones reactions its just confirming that the only reason people showed interest in the second account of AMB was the 'lies' or 'pretense' that made it sound like there was a new quick racer in LFS that all people wanted to get first.

Also from the replies it kinda shows that once you've got a rep for moving regulalry teams and stuff like that - your credability goes downhill etc...

I mean it is fair to say that not everyone can get on in every team, but to jump 5/6 teams (and top teams as well btw) and not be happy tends to show problems with the ONE driver rather than the 5 TEAMS

Quote from Rooble :

Joining a team isn't the be all and end all but some people are giving the kid a rough time for nothing, and for what? Because he switched a team now and then? Or that he duped Mercury and others with his leet-skeet beginner skills?

I think any team who takes 5 minutes to watch him drive can see he has real potential and just needs a little more work on some minor things, I think any team looking to go for the MoE could probably use this guy and would be lucky to get someone who's willing to commit and has ample talent to make stuff happen.

Matt, my advice would be to take it easy for now and work on your driving a bit more and not worry about this team stuff. Once you're up to spec people will take notice and you won't need to ask for peoples attention, you'll just get it.

Sidenote : Not many people seem to complain about drifters team jumping or teams folding within a week, since when has it been such an issue with drivers?

P.S : He got into Mercury didn't he?

Rooble, if you can say Did he get into Mercury on Driving ability alone or attitude or both potential or just because people were judging him on the person they saw - not the person they know?

It's an interesting observation to note.

Cheers,

Dru.

Quote from AMB :

A team that is here to stay, races leagues, active, helpful and a team that will tell me of my mistakes, and help me progress into a league racer,

Many of the teams you joined and left had this so I don't understand why you have gone thorugh so many teams.


I do recall that you approached CR about joining saying that you were really interested and that you would love to drive for us etc etc... and we said no, the very next day you were announced as a driver somewhere else.

If I were you, I would seriously consider TAKING YOUR TIME.

Be honest and don't be too quick to jump into bed with someone.

People are too keen to want to put their TAG and team skins on before seriously checking out a team and its members etc etc.

My advise, take your time, don't rush... good things comes to those who wait.... trust me, they do...... but only to people who have patience..


Good luck and consider what I've written


Regards,

Dru.




BTW - your avatar shows you in an Adaptive Skin how many teams was that ago ?

Quote from Kaw :

Well, I personally have 3 accounts. So I dont blame him :P
