Does anyone know if a 9500 GT cooler will fit on a 9800 GT?

might fit, but it wont cool the 9800 as good as it cooled the 9500

get an Arctic-Cooling Twin Turbo if u have the funds... it aint to expansive and it keeps my friends 9800GTX+ @ about 35° idle..

Quote from ThrottleBody :

Anybody?

did u also do all of the other settings the read me stated that u should do? i have LFS dash up and running 24/7 here..

EDIT:
OutGauge Mode 2
OutGauge Delay 5
OutGauge IP 127.0.0.1
OutGauge Port 4000
OutGauge ID 0

Change IP to the IP of the machine u're using LFS DASH on..

im sure ubuntu works fine, i'm gonna try it sometime soon have been think about that for like 4 months now. but never got around to install it..

Like "not sure" says above "shadowww": different OS's have their own weaknesses (he didnt say that, but thats how i translates it), and i would, NEVER, use my mac to play games. as it wont run half of the games i own (and the other half of the games i will never try on a mac anyway)..
linux is a great platform if u wanna test, and learn new things sure. but i would never use that for games either..

so for me Windows is the only option when playing games..

pls call me fanboy, narrowminded or whatever.. im not the one trying to "sell my shit to others".

OT: Just install ubuntu, try it out, if it doesnt work, re-install windows and be happy

Quote from teedot :

I really do pity the "Windows generation" sometimes.... If only you guys grew up with real computers.... not computers with pretty little "skins" ontop of the real OS... heck i remember when something like this was like seeing windows vista for the first time and going WOW

last time i checked Windows came before Linux... so how the hell can u pity the ones that uses the older software? Idiotic statement...

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Sure thing... That's why my Mac can run all those games that you listed just fine.
You guys should really stop evangelizing PC's. Nobody likes fanboys, especially when they try to push their own (shit) choices on everyone, especially those that prefer things that are good.

Steve Jobs = GOD

im as far away from a "fanboy" that i can get, but u are one.
HL/HL2 has NEVER been able to run on a MAC.. not natively, and thats what im talking about here.. not through bootcamp or any other crap. i have never said that PC's are better then MAC, just that MAC sucks when it comes to games!

steve jobs = god? thats bull, sure he can alot of the stuff he does, but why should a mac cost 3x the amount of a pc with the same specs?
and tell me WHEN u have been able to play those games i listed WITHOUT a emulator.. will not happen..

fanboy? no, as i have both u moron!

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

PC's however chug at the first sight of those games, but Mac's have the latest in GPU and CPU technology so they never slow down ever!

how come i dont even get framedrop when playing those games at 1280x1024, with everything medium?
hl / hl2 i can max out, as can everyone else with a comp < 3 years old.

latest in cpu tech? yeah ofc they have, they abandoned MOTOROLA and came over to INTEL..
GPU? yeah, same thing as i have in my PC, so there aint a diff anywhere..

YOU should read alittle bit more about PC's i think.

Quote from Shadowww :

Macs can't run even CS2D, not talking about Source games

i know, i have a mac myself. sure they are good at graphicapplications, but they suck hardtime at games :P

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

But then again, you have a nice white box, that does everything better than a shit PC, so why pay 300$ for a shitbox, when you could pay 1300 for a box of bliss.

Does it really? tell me, does it run these games better then on PC: HL, HL2, Crysis, Armadillo Run, Bridge IT...? u get my point, saying that a MAC does EVERYTHING better then a PC is just bullshit! the mac has its strengths and weaknesses just like a pc, so believe me, its not better at EVERYTHING...

EDIT: More games! Burnout Paradise, Fear, Fear 2, Dead Space, Crazy Machines 2, DiRT, GRiD... L-I-V-E F-O-R S-P-E-E-D ?-?-?

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

You can change the engine noise while driving and it will not change other cars noise, only yours. For example, if your on a track with 15 other guys, and you have 15 different engine sounds for that car, you can give them each a different sound. Then, they will all sound different. The only downside is once you pit, all the cars sound the same again.

okey, i didnt know that

Quote from danthebangerboy :

Contradiction FTW!

i think what he means is that he is fixing bugs in the texts for the lessons? but dunno :P

Quote from John5200 :

fbm... lol, its MUCH faster to drive with full speed around the tires then drive slowly all the way around

Soo? It´s still a bug ffs.. I dont give an f if its faster to just drive like u should, its possible to NOT drive the right route and still make it = BUG.

Quote from David_Tiger :

Hey Thanks, I love it!!

Here is a Direct Link Permanent Mirror - VLFSDash_v0.2.1_setup.rar

EDIT: Too slow well at least it will have a download link, if one fails

ADD: Does anyone have the source code for this? Would like to see how the dials are drawn.

Thanks
-Tiger

i have it somewhere on my 'puter.. but cant seem to find it now :S

Quote from GP4Flo :

Fixed in Z14.

do anyone have z14? no...

Same bug exists in "Fast Slalom - Fomula BMW"

Quote from Crady :

Ok... I found it

http://rapidshare.com/files/23 ... VLFSDash_v0.2.1_setup.exe

Sorry for Rapidshare, but I have no own server to store it.

i have it too but cant upload it anywhere :/

Quote from Toddshooter :

Also when installing drivers in Windows 7. Make sure to right click and "Install as Admin."

i have never done that and everything works fine for me

Quote from Not Sure :

Separate soundfiles for every user in the server would mean lots and lots of .eng -files, it would be too messy. So randomization would be better.

well i dont think we can have that without separate soundfiles.. as i said, if u edit ur car, everyone sounds the same.. dont think its an easy thing to change.. :/

Quote from mcintyrej :

Just watched an episode of My F'ing Opinion - was brilliant.

Also, Z12 is beta testers only, since the public aren't beta testers, then we don't get it.

so LFS is at the BETA stage now? Not alpha? :P

EDIT: LOL, JasonJ, why did u remove ur post?

Quote from MAGGOT :

I think this is a mighty fine suggestion. I love hearing different engine notes from the same cars at a track, and I always wished LFS had a similar 'feature.' I guess real randomization (within reason, as BBT suggests) is the perfect solution.

Big +1 from me.

aint the whole problem with the engine sounds that if ur in a XRG and everyone else too. and u change ur sound you change EVERYONES sound, aslong as they are in the XRG ofc.. for this to work we have to get separate soundfiles for our own cars + the others on the server.. hope i make sense.. just woke up

Quote from Degats :

This probably isn't a simple fix as the handbrake is needed on grids with a steep gradient - ie Blackwood - to stop the car rolling down the hill.
Disabling the button to activate the handbrake might work, but it - or a small push on the brake - does need to be there for the starts.

Removing the handbrake, and letting everyone brake at the start? i mean, irl nobody would use the handbrake at the start.. (i think)

Feffe85: When the minds of the fresh are shadowed by the clouds of fanboyism, they can't see the true meaning of the words.

*giggles* :P yeah true..

Quote from G!NhO :

You did.

omg? pls tell me when i did that..

Quote from danthebangerboy :

If you go to lfs.net the link takes you to gamershell to download it.

aaaaahaaaaa! thats something i have never thought about thnx

Quote from G!NhO :

Read


It wasn't meant as a cruising thing with cops but a special mode where programmers could create their own game inside lfs.
So not just cruising!!!

who said its just for crusing? if the programmers can do their game inside lfs, then i sure as hell cant see the problem with a cruise-game? or maybe do a FPS inside lfs.. that would be cool..

Quote from G!NhO :

The cruise option is just for practising and it was in NO way intended to be used for cruising with cops and such.

then why is it called CRUISE?
wouldnt it be PRACTISE?
or "OMG-i-cant-play-because-people-cruise-when-in-a-racing-game"

i also have the prob with see-through tires on the fxo.. got it after z3 i think..

Quote from Citizen86 :

Alright so here's a question. I was in the qualification stage in an FZ50 only server, we were racing Kyoto Long. I was on my first lap, and I'm still a noob so was going slower than most. I get the blue flag warning as someone comes up behind me. We were going through the few turns before eventually getting to the large oval area. It was before the long left turn, so there were a few sharper turns, I figured he wouldn't try to pass me. We are going into an almost 90 degree right turn, with a bunch of sand on the left, he tried to pass me on the right side, touches my car and spins off into the sand on the left... goes to the pits and says "heeeeeey why did you bump me? blue flag"

I understand to let people by that are ahead of you, but does that mean that I have to literally pull over and stop for them to go by? I thought they could pass and I could slow down when it was safe, not around moderately difficult corners. I'm asking if I am correct in my understanding or wrong, because I'm looking to learn from this whatever the case was.

Thanks

IMHO, You did right! You shall let people pass when you get blue flag, but you should hold your line 'til you see that the other guy/s can pass without any danger of hitting someone else.
When i get blue flag i always drive as usual, then when i see that he/she can pass i just indicate with my right turn signal. Most of the times people understand :P

Quote from Turtal :

Hi there, yes it says its going into gear on the dash, but whatever the red light is next to the green one , is stopping me moving, it revs in gear as if its not actually in if you know what i mean.

hmm.. if the handbrake is "pulled" without u pulling it, and gear is engaged... does it burn the clutch?
