Quote from March Hare :I'm NOT talking about the luxury Discovery 3 or Range Rover Sport but the Defender. The box on wheels with solid axles and coilsprings.

This thing.





That's a proper 4x4.

My dad over the years has had several. I think he's had a series i,ii, iii. But had probably 2 of each including ex-Army ones. I think he also had a Landrover 110 or 90 before they were called Defenders. According to him they were great becuase the were so reliable but if they broke then they would be easy to fix.

According to Jeremy Clarkson, America still depends on leaf springs "which we gave up when the romans arrived".

Inspired by highsiders miniture pitcures, I thought I would have a go at it.
This is the first try at it; I don't like it that much, but a different angle probably would make it easier to look like a model.

All Ford cars feature them, not so sure about the vans but I think so.

That's not very nice, it was only a joke, it was a good one too.

In games I expect to hate strategy, but then I always end up enjoying it.
I enjoy OFP even Counter Strike Source is good when played strategically.

It ran at about 5fps and the detail was so low down the grass looked like a green floor with yellowing bits in soft focus, it blended too much with the concrete which just so happened to look like a grey floor in soft focus.

But then again my system is of the following:

AMD Athlon XP 1800+ @ 1.5 ghz
ATI 9550
70 gb hard drive with only 10gig to spare.
512MB ram should 1024 but when my brother took a stick out to try in his PC it didn't get plugged in properly (not his fault, it's in a rediculously hard to reach place), so it's loose in there but I can't be arsed to plug it in properly.

Looks good, but my PC isn't good enough.

Their's a demo floating about from quite recent, try it out. I had it but it ran so badly it was pointless.

Quote from GFresh :WOOHOO!!! , i'm pleased for you , i'd join you online but i'm busy trying to convince my missus that going to the LFS meet in Southampton tomorrow isn't a silly idea.

Lol, I looked on the list and LFSNoob is going, he's younger than me and lives in a different country. This can't be right can it?

In a nut shell, accurate shadows that follow when the wheels are turned?

I'm think I might need to read through again.

Also I think different cars use different discs although this may be my imagination.

I can understand rally tracks, but a drift track does seem a bit silly.

Quote from compjake :I think its funny how everyone has there computer LFS setups but what no one has mentioned to do get a car (working or not) and mount screens across all the windows and get a good computer to power them and mod the steering wheel, gears, and pedals and put in the computer versions. Now who doesn't agree that would be awesome? I would do it if i could lol
