Look for events where you can win s2 how hard is that.

Quote from Scawen :

Hello Racers!

A new patch and full version is available on our website. The patch upgrades any U version to V. It's a self extracting archive, so simply download it into your LFS folder and double-click it to extract.

There are a lot of improvements in V as those of you who have followed the test patches already know.

Thanks to all those community members and beta testers who participated in the testing process, to get us to this stage with a reliable and strong version. Thanks also for the translators who have kept all 23 official translations up to date!

Some important updates :

Smoother online racing
Car sound improvements
Automatic update system
Compatible with Windows Vista
Improved support for S1 racers
New script system (details below)
Fixes and improvements in all areas

And you can read the full list of updates here :

Have fun!

Happy Christmas!

Wonder what the next step is after you had a break.

Quote from CodieMorgan :

What is the possibility of having a Nascar, SASCAR, SCAR of other form of stock car added to LFS?

It would be nice to also see competitive oval racing in this genre on a couple large tracks!

Just a suggestion... as most Nascar sims seem to have a massive bandwidth requirement and LFS runs just fine on the net!

+1 am a big fan of nascar

Ok theres new test patch yet i have not downloaded it or installed it yet lfs Restarter is part of the automatic update system how dose it work?

Quote from AndroidXP :

Ahahah
Not just part of the setup, but separate controls like for the indicators. Left front window up/down, right front... security lock so the children in the back can't mess with it

Yes and no. You will not hear them anymore because different files are used now, but the old ones won't be overridden. Just send me an e-mail and I'll convert it for you.

ok.

Questions on my mind an there about the horn cause i got the dukes of hazzard hard will i lose it if i put the test patch on.

I play other games till theres some new test patchs and i got limted to do 2 hours on my pc only and i got home work ect so.

i be up for it i could only do events on weekends tho.

Can you resve me a seat for then your team gets in s2.

Sorry am late to happy brithday hope you had a good one.

Quote from Jakg :

it ISN'T lag, if the whole picture is jumpy, then it is your PC - if it doesn't this in Single player with lots of AI, and you get 95 fps online, then its a known issue in LFS, although i can't remember the fix

to late anyway i had it up to here with lfs jumping pics when on my mums bf pc it worked fine a week ago so i got rid of it so its only on my home pc .

Also kev has ntl and has no lag?

Quote from SparkyDave :

OK thats a good FPS rate anything over 30-40 is well playable,
have you tried asking the other PC users in the house to shutdown their PCs for a few minuites,(or just dissconnect from the wireless network) so you can see if its the PC that you are using causing the connection to lagg.
If when the others are shut down all is better then I would think some P2P program (even when closed) is accessing the net from another PC and hogging the bandwith ,
if there is no difference with only the PC with the problem up and running, then it could point to a number of things ,like interference messing with the wireless conn or some processes accessing the net from the same machine. but would give you a place to start from and help to diagnose the prob quicker

SD.

ok

Quote from Jakg :

96?????? Thats bloody high - you should only be able to see jumping at 30 or below.

Does the same happen in single player?

it dont happen in single player i won 1st on the STTC track they useing with A1 a lot of them and i won

Quote from SparkyDave :

Faster , Turn on the FPS(frames per second) meter this will give you a number in top corner of the screen when playing LFS

Run LFS and select
Options / Display / Show frame rate (off) (left) (Right) choose left or right and let us know what sort of FPS you are getting when you use your Mums BFs PC both online and offline, if it is low (under 15) Then you and we will be able to tell if you have "lag" or not Low FPS is not and does not cause lag they are completly different things


SD.

my fps are like 96 and under

what els can go worng this week.

mmm it says its borken.

ok jakg i tryied to change the thing to 5 now i found it. and

still the same amount of lag.

tryied the view chnage as well did nothing.

is the team website down?

Quote from dungbeetle :

faster,

Another fairly easy way to get more fps is to change the view.

Try changing the view from in-car to external - you know, the one where you only see the front wheels of your car?

It may not look as nice but try it anyway to see if it smooths things out at all.

It should help because your graphics card no longer has to draw the insides of your car and can put more effort into smoothing out the track and the scenery.

Let us know how you get on .

well do.

well where i just looked i dont get that 0.5

Quote from Jakg :

remove it completely, in Options>Misc>"Limit Frame Rate In Game" = No

While your there, set the "Dynamic LOD Reduction" to something like .5, same for the Dust and User LOD's in Options>Graphics

i canrt see i 5 do u mean like 35 45? what do u mean.

Quote from Jakg :

LFS>Options>Graphics>"Full Size Textures - No" or "Half Size Textures - Yes" depending on what patch your on.

Also, try removing the FPS limited, closing all the open applications and lowering the LOD's

i got fps to 100 setting am on patch u with not test patchs. lowering lods?

Quote from The General Lee :

Keyboard and mouse

but, getting a wheel soon.

same as my settings i have a keyboard and mouse

Quote from Jakg :

And now, to translate into English...

His Mum's BF's PC has:
A Gigabyte mobo
7300GT (Ouch!)
AMD Athlon XP (so Socket A, and no faster than a 3200)

Not quite sure on the rest - either way, try halving the textures

what textures down or up on lfs.
