Motion Motorsports gains a sponsor.

Speed Servers and MM have come to an agreement on a temporary sponsored server.

Motion Motorsports would like to thank Speed Servers for their help. We hope to help SS grow into a known name for LFS Hosting.

Come check us out in the Motion Motorsports servers.


Review of Speed Servers "Good customer service, speedy setup. Didn't get to test the server with a large race, but never showed any signs of connection issues."

Quote from EeekiE :

My friend Danny Lee has raised £1600+ for MenCap so far through the London Marathon, raffling off a new Scooter, and 3 iRacing endurance races, one of which can be seen here:

I don't think you posting something your friend did should count. Unless, he is the one wanting the G27 and making the post.


Only seems fair. If I should do something nice for someone, Ill try to get it on video and post it here, a G27 would help out alot. Controllers are too sensitive.

Quote from badboy2 :

Standard Drivers with the graphics card. And not too sure what the fan speed is.

Have you opened your PC and inspected ALL your fans for excessive dust buildup?

Dust Buildup is a killer. Will cause drivers to hang up, video card to burn up, lots of problems can stem from dust buildup. Check you CPU fan, GPU fan (if equipped), Power supply fans, case fans.

Quote from vipex123 :

Make a team and stick with it - don't make a new one every other month.

Nevertheless, good luck.

Thanks. This is going to be my final team. Racing is the only team interest.

Quote from MadCatX :

You have a quad core CPU by any chance?

Single core on this particular machine. I have several different pc's in my house.

Single Core Sempron. GS8400. 1 GB Ram.

Quote from cargame.nl :

Exactly, my i7 1.6 Ghz mobile on ONE core is producing 10% activity.

Browsing the internet is heavier. Where does this hard to kill legend story come from that a GPU is not important for LFS? You all crazy here, you know that?

You are my new best friend =)

Quote from MadCatX :

Sorry, but you couldn't be more wrong about this. LFS is very CPU intensive - all the physics has to be calculated somewhere - but it's OK with any GPU which can do HVS. If you have a strong enough CPU, you can run LFS with no 3D acceleration at all and still get playable FPS.

under 25% of cpu usage is hardly CPU Intensive. GPU does more work than the CPU with this game.

Quote from -NightFly- :

2 cores (3.1GHz each if i'm not mistaken.) 4 GB of ram
and a 512mb card with DX11 support is not low end.

The entire setup cost $400 brand new.

Plus most the ppl getting Low FPS need better graphics cards, not CPU's. LFS is not CPU intensive, but it does require a GFX card with atleast 256mb to achieve a decent framerate. LFS is nothing to run if you know what you are doing.

>New Tyre Physics

"After some time we got to a stage where we felt the model was a clear improvement on the old physics. We updated all the default setups to use realistic values that would be found on similar real world cars and finally released it to our beta testers. Their verdict is unanimous : the new tyre physics model makes the cars much better and more realistic to drive."

1 So back in 2009 the "beta" testers were given a copy of the new tyre model and said it made cars drive much better and more realistic. It has been close to 3 years since this announcement was made, yet the only updates we have seen were nothing in comparison to the updates we have been told were coming 3 years ago. Also....

>Announcing VW Scirocco

"We are pleased to announce that we plan to release the new VW Scirocco in Live for Speed during the week ending Friday 19th December."

2 First we were given a date, then we were told, well the T/C and Stability Control needs to be fixed first, then it became, well now we are waiting for the type physics. Let's not forget either....

>Rockingham coming to LFS

"Dear LFS Racers,

The time has come to tell you a bit about something else we have been working on.

It's our first real race track - Rockingham UK"

3 Yet we have heard 0 acceptable reasons as to why this hasn't been released other than, "tyre physics first". Now take a look at this post here...

>LFS @ GC with the new Volkswagen Scirocco

"Going to the Games Convention in Leipzig this year?

Make sure you visit the Volkswagen booth where you can drive the new Volkswagen Scirocco in LFS and take part in a competition : The person with the fastest laptime around one of LFS's tracks gets to take home a real Scirocco!

For more information about visiting the Games Convention, please see the GC website."

Conclusion.

It was such a big deal that LFS was getting the Scirocco in 2008 that LFS appeared at a Game Convention. Everyone shound check out the GC website now. They have closed due to financial troubles.... One can only speculate, but something tells me, maybe if all these updates had come out and LFS had more attention drawn to it instead of away from it due to lack of updates, this convention might have done better from the publicity LFS could have given it. Instead it has closed down and will be forgotten,

Quote from MadCatX :

The way I understand Scawen's posts, the new tyre physics engine uses some ultimately complex set of calculations - if fact so complex that no computer today can run it in real time. He's probably been spending the last couple of months simplifying and optimizing it to make it run on a common modern PC, so optimization is paramount. It's also the most time consuming part, getting from a badly designed algorithm to a reasonably efficient one is quite easy, turning a reasonable algorithm into a really fast one is usually pretty painstaking.

I think you are off base with saying that.

My cellphone has the computing power of all the computers in the 1980's combined. This should not be taking 3+ yrs with today's computing capabilities.

Quote from col :

From a retail point of view, that's true.
From a rational real world point of view, "low end PC" are the ones people are using, not the ones in the shops. Many people don't upgrade every year or two. If a significant proportion of your intended market uses PC's from a few years ago that were cheap at the time, then that's your 'low end PC" right there.

Even a low end PC from a few years ago should have few problems running LFS. UNLESS you are trying to run at settings that your computer cannot handle.

Quote from hiroshima guy :

Even Hitler got pissed.

:huepfenic:iagree:

#1. PC's that were low end when LFS came out, are now obsolete. Just so everyone is clear. A low end PC by today's standards would be a major improvement over a low end PC of 5-6 years ago.


#2. Low end PC's of today should have no problems running LFS at ~30+ FPS.

Example: my girlfriend's "low end pc" has a AMD Athlon II 255 CPU, 4 GB ram, ATI 5450HD. LFS runs at a smooth 40-50 fps on that machine, which isn't a high end rig by any means.


#3. Optimizing for performance is an excuse to buy more time.

LOL @ GT and Forza being racing sims. I've seen better physics in a toilet bowl than those 2 games combined.

You ever seen a crash from either of these games? Pathetic

love this post.

Yes I quoted myself, get over it. hehe

Nothing says crap like 10 fps.



Compare

Quote from Ingolf :

Almost 800 times to the moon and back ! (all together that is)

The average distance from Earth to the Moon is 384,400 kilometers (238,855 miles). Redo your math Ingolf.

Quote from Si Mclaren :

12 when racing inside a pack, to be more exact...

BL1, FBM/XFG/XRG, im competitive (1:14/34 average lap) and the only crashs are racing incidents...


Having a bad PC doesn't changes nothing for who races against me...

Keep thinking you are invincible.

Quote from Mountaindewzilla :

I don't think anyone asserted that correlation. Sounds like a red herring to me.
Lag causes accidents. Outdated hardware and crumby internet connections cause lag. Outdated hardware and crumby internet connections cause accidents.

I do not accept your definitions for what should be obvious reasons.

@cargame

I am of the opinion that Gran Turismo and Forza are legitimate racing sims. I think that there are people in those communities that take their racing just as seriously as people here do. I however must admit that serious console racers are relatively rare.

I like your statement regarding the way people invest their money.

Quote from Si Mclaren :

Well, first, sim racers and gamers are a very different people... Gamers just want to win, get points, collect status, like most of the actual LFS players. Sim Racers are race fans who want to race, respecting the rules and etc, uncare about statuses, "rt", and these things... Forgetting also the fact what gamers play all games, racers play only simulators. Second, why only have people with high end PC's racing would improve anything? There is no relationship between finnancial status and driving hability...

Have you ever played a game online with under 30 fps? Almost Impossible.

Fckin Trolls >.< Get a life maybe?

Quote from MorfeasFX :

So you took the shotgun, cowboy? :grumpy:

Bang bang.

Quote from der butz :

Let's get to it in a different way.
The Mona Lisa can be viewed by anyone who pays. You are not allowed to take a picture of it because the flash would slowly destroy it. So what you can do is buy posters and cards with the Mona Lisa on it.

Now if everyone just took a crappy dark shot secretly with his mobile to take a blurry image of the thing home instead of buying a proper sized poster for a few quid, how stupid would that be?

I would be proud if someone would race around with skins I did. Just ask and you get the full thing with your name and racing number! I just can't stand seeing someone's skin stolen, then altered in a cruel way (512x512, then added pixelated audi rings on what once was a great skin) and put on a car mostly used by tools.

greetz

der butz, now leaving for Monza

Pointless post is pointless. No one sells LFS skins. This thread is dead, move on.
