This is actually part of a longer movie I made, and I've isolated it for people with short attention spans.

Enjoy.

OK, I've done a sequel and spent a bit more time on this one. The song and theme are the same, but it goes for a bit longer.

* @theirishnoob - I used Fraps to capture and Virtual Dub to edit. It was put together using Roxio Easy Media Creator. It's crap, but it came with my DVD drive.

* @GeForz - The logo now matches the background!

* @LFS Drifter - The song is 'Too Fast For Me' by The Cruel Sea.

* @Voided - The music now fades out at the end, and there is a blood curdling crash at the end for you.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I haven't played Forza. Are they all basically going to drive the same, like in GT?

IMO, the original Forza did a much better job at a racing game than GT ever has. The AI for a start was much more fun to race against.

@ the haters, yes it's a console sim and isn't ultra-realistic like LFS, but that doesn't make it a bad name. I find some fun in collecting / customising cars and the racing can be a bit of a larf in short bursts. I'll make my AI avatar do the enduros though...

It looks like he's playing Rallisport Challenge or Burnout: Rally Edition.
Too fast for a sim?

It sounds like a Cortina in need of a service when it's idling, but by gee when it revs.... audio heaven.

Ondrejko, I tried one of your too.

Had a go at one Antsa. Quick and subtle.

I'm boring.
I've owned 2 cars and both have survived literally without a scratch.

Never had a car accident of any sort.

I remember buying my licence....<enter dreamy sequence>

It took me about 2 laps of Blackwood in the XFG in demo-land, to convince me to buy the real thing.

I used a credit card, it was quick and worked flawlessly. It's totally reliable and trustworthy.

Well I downloaded the demo earlier, and it (surprisingly) was playable once I tweaked the video settings a little.

I'm still gonna hold off for a while before I purchase though.

After browsing through the forums, this bit of software kinda reminds me of Vista next to XP.
Sure, the new version is a little prettier, but there are a lot of problems at the moment. The devs are working hard on fixing them, but it will be a year or so before it finds it's feet.

For now, I'll stick to XP (OFP)

Quote from mikey_G :

I have the exact same system except that I have a 2800+, and it runs OK'ish around the 30fps mark.

Really? What LOD are you running?

OP video - not that funny, but it's OK for people to laugh in hindsight. There are worse thing on the internet that wierdos find funny.

This is a funny video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsEZ2lpM0Yw
It involves a sore head and some dizziness, but nothing life threatening.

Hmm. Low detail makes baby Jesus cry.
I might hold off until I get a new machine.

I was a big OFP fan in it's day and was thinking about buying this, it's newer brethren.
I've heard it's a system hog though, and don't want to spend $90AU on an army slide show.

I have:
AMD 3000+
Nvidia 6800GT (AGP)
1 Gb RAM

Does anyone know how it might run on my machine?

PSU??
I had a similar problem, but with my optic drive. Every time it tried to read a disc, my machine would lose power and reboot. I had to disable the sucker and am now using a USB drive.
I doubt it would be VNC unless someone dialled in and did something bad...

Thanks

LFS is easily the best value for money game I've ever purchased, if I calculate time spent playing vs money spent buying.

And I've probably spent well over $10000 on games so far...

Is anyonre elso hosting this mod? I'd like to download.

Two things would greatly improve the LFS online experience for pickup races.
Please note that it still awesome and I love it at the moment. Emphasis is on the word 'improve'

* Engine Damage - Stop people doing ridiculous downshifting to get faster lap times. It should kill your engine within a few corners.

* Debilitating car damage - At the moment, it is beneficial for idiots to bounce off the walls around South City, drive straight over the final chicane at some AS and FE combos.
Hitting walls should kill your car straight away (rubbing fenders etc), and going over chicanes at 100mph should kill your suspension.
Repeatedly smashing in to the back of another car because you can't judge your braking distance or you're far too aggressive should damage your car and put you out of the race.

Most people will agree that LFS is at it's best when the racing is close and clean. The more this is promoted, the better it will get.
T1 n00bs will learn pretty quickly if their car is un-drivable after smacking in to someone at the first corner...

I don't think shift+s is the real issue here. We'd see less accidents if everone was more careful. More realistic damage would make people more careful.

I found Shaun's movie has an effervecent complexity mixed with with unmatched oaky terrior, lasting the whoe duration.
It's vibrant citric flavours don't overwhelm the palate though, as a hint of creamy cedar lingers on finish.
4/10

Good production values, but takes way too long to get to the point, and not very interesting when it does.

EDIT - Here is the sequel. Enjoy.

Quote from th84 :

American's dont really deserve the bashing they sometime's take here,

I just wanna back you up there. The vast majority of Americans are good and honest people. People just like anywhere else in the world. Just trying to get on with their lives and make the best for themselves.

When attacking US foreign policy or the press, or having a go at Dubbya, people should make sure they're not attacking American citizens. As th84 points out, most of them are probably of the same opinion as you.

Every country in the world has the capability to make a chlorine bomb.
MacGyver can make them ffs!
Using this to justify the preemptive invasion of Iraq four years after the fact?
Give me a break...
