Btw you will find that his CPU is a Quad core + has a further 6mb cache. Which tends to add to a CPU's TDP .

well thats true i know, but a friend of mine has a q66, which is slightly cooler then mine just thought it was a little high, not that it will kill it but anyway...

nice to see someone trying to use lower wattage :P

Quote from amp88 :

This is the lowest I can run to get it stable but I'm getting around 48 C idle / 62 C load, which is a bit higher than I really want to run 24/7 so I'll probably drop it back down a bit.

48 / 62? omg... with my old-as-hell chassie my e85 idles at 29°c and peaks at 37°C... and thats when it's overclocked :O

Quote from JasonJ :

Hmm yummm 40"

Got the 40" Samsung Series 5
50Hz is fine, not blurry at all, just the camera pic is overexposed.


Thanks for all the advice and help.

maybe a little too close to the screen tho? :P i wish i could get the tv i want as a comp. screen.. a 42" Zepto Pantheon A42.. Full-hd :/ no money thats the prob :P

:iagree:

im with the demo-dudes on this one.. sry guys.. they're right for once

Quote from PioneerLv :

I have 2.6Ghz single core CPU, Radeon X1950GT, 1280 DDR1 400 ram.

What i should do to increase loading time?

decrease loading i guess? defrag, new install of lfs, not so many hi-res textures.. only thing i can think off..

Quote from pjuniorbra :

When I opened this topic, not as I thought it would be controversial and generate many controvesias, but this is very good, since everyone is discussing the best way to drive in LFS, I use the mouse, but I do not have wheel adapted to it.
But no one informed me how to change the strength to 350% and sets them in the game (cfg.text)

Excuse my English

i think the main reason for not answering is that nobody knows how to make it 350%, when 200% is max + overkill...

Quote from M3THANOL :

HEY DUDE , take a chill pill!, I have read all that bro, I am asking a SIMPLE question asking if anyone has heard any other news lately, some inside info, thats all I wanted to know!!!!!!!!!

YOU´RE telling S14 DRIFT to take a chill pill? he only answered ur question..

The car comes when Scawen feels it´s the right time to release it, when all bugs are gone!

Quote from pjuniorbra :

How to increase the drive strength of 200% to 350% strength,
where I have to change the file cfg.txt and that is final

uuuuuhm... huh? what? change the max ffb from 200 to 350%? why if i may ask?

A $70 (£35) 700 watt PSU is likely to be trash unless it's the FSP one i'm using - as any decent 700watt PSU will be about £65+

Honestly, what does that PSU have to do with the topic / Bad quality psu's? they changed the voltage to blow stuff up.. just moronic..

i myself have a "Ace RAW Deal 620" psu. thats a 620w psu costs about $74 is the dollar is @ 6 SEK.. anyway, it powers a gigabyte mobo, intel e8500, 2gb ram, 4 hdd's, 1 sata dvd, 6 usb thingies.. no smoke yet..

Quote from DragonCommando :

Wow, way to jump the gun guys.

You know, this whole thing of instantly calling a demo player a cracker the second they mention something you think they shoulden't know about is realy getting old. Why don't you leave it to the moderators to make those judgements. Instead of acting like a bunch of school kids calling names.

better yet, why not warn people that flame demo-users as soon as they open their mouth? :P

Quote from amp88 :

When you say "not terribly high demand computer" in the original post I'm picturing either a mid range dual core CPU or a high end older single core CPU, a middle end graphics card, a hard drive, a DVD drive and a gig or 2 of RAM. If that's the case then 550W is more than enough.

i have:

1 duo e8500
2 gb ram
3 hdd's
1 sata dvd-burner
1 8800gt
-----------
and have a lowbudget Ace Raw Deal 620w psu.. a 500w should be enough for u, as i feel this 620 being a little overkill even for me..

Quote from DarkTimes :

Mozilla is the foundation that owns and runs Firefox. They used to make a development suite called Mozilla, of which Firefox was an offshoot, but that has now been renamed SeaMonkey. Mozilla itself was an open-source implementation of Netscape, which was itself derived from Mosaic. It's all rather complicated. But these days, Mozilla is just the company that owns and pays for Firefox.

Isn't Mozilla the makers of Netscape's?

Quote from anbiddulph :

ive managed to get 500fps with my rig (see above) but thats at 640x480, everything on low, includint textures, not looking at the car (shift+u)

\/\/|-|47 4 1337 p057!
1337 posts lol

514fps, sitting in car, looking out the left windows.. with comp in sig..
EDIT: and this at 1280x1024, with AF/AA at MAX..

Quote from Whiskey :

Because bmp has an awfull filesize while jpg has a good balance between quality and size.

If you want to share a full quality image (mp) you always can use rar's.

rather then saying that jpg has a good balance i would just tell someone to use png.. and yes, its true that bmp is big, but its also alone to not destroy image quality

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Because if you save as a .bmp it's about 2mb, when you JPEG it is around 200kbs which is much nicer both for the uploader and for the viewer.

Or use photoshop and save it as quality 12 JPEG, can't see much of a difference over .bmp then.

true but i rather sacrifice some bandwidth with a large file, than having a pixelated image being downloaded in 2 secs :/

but we're all right in a way so :P

OT: Happy to see that u made it work out

Quote from hazaky :

What do you know about formula tires?

aint there a formula car in demo-mode? then u have your answer

Quote from deiwisxxx :

He probably knows about all tires i think he has a crecked LFS

really? is there ANYONE that doesn't know how slicks look like? when opening the DDS u clearly see whats slicks and whats not..

Quote from popsy :

oh shaddow, always sticking up for his kind
crackerz

mature..

Quote from G!NhO :

yup...............always.........

same here...

OT: i dont really know why there is the amount of threads in the dds, futureproofing maybe?

Quote from Sueycide_FD :

Put them in the eng folder and select them via SHift+A. Then put use them as under "blowoff valve". you don't need CSR for this...

Backfire he said.. and ur saying he can just add them in the soundeditor in-game? as what? oh, as dump-valve sounds? yey! oh wait.. if he want backfire in the xrg then? or uf1? fz5... u get my point...

OT: CSR is what u need. found in "unofficial addons" and if not there, maybe at the lfs-database..

pny 8800gt 512mb edition...
muuuuch better then my old 7800gtx :P

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

.bmp file format should be banned from these forums. JPEG please.

bmp has superior imagequality, so why should it?

sry for offtopic...

here is mine

Quote from rc10racer :

tbh guys what temps do you get with lfs on 500fps? because more fps you have higher temps you get

LOL? No the temps dont get higher cause of higher fps.. i stay steady at ~37°C when viewing 400+ fps in lfs.. so thats just BS..

i limit the fps to 100 when driving just cause of the physics update rate @100hz...

EDIT: did a test.. even tho its windowed, uncapped fps stay @ ~240 fps.. cpu temp @ 32/35°C and the GPU @ 52°C
idle: cpu = 30°C and GPU @51°C.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Why would he bother posting on the forums anymore when every time he does, he's swamped by kids who are impatient nagging little tykes.

+1.

And i can bet u $200 that he´s looking through the forum atleast twice aday, even tho he doesn't post..

Quote from (FIN)Eza :

:headbang: 500 FPS eh?

Had to test what it takes to reach that magic number..

4.5ghz E8600 with highly overclocked 4870..
All settings max + 1680x1050 with 4xAA 8xAF

Went to westhill hotlap alone with MRT and FPS was jumping between 330-480, but never went up to 500 in normal driving condition with cockpit view.. But shift+u helped and if you weren't too close to your car, FPS actually jumped to 500+

Conculsion, you need mucho power to reach 500!

PS. screenie included

Yes, looking out over the landscape makes the FPS jump up alot.
I got 700+ while just looking over the car out to the left over a fence :P

OT: Nothing new in my comp.. a Coolermaster V8 coming soon, and also an Arctic Cooling Twin Turbo for the GFX...

Maybe shaving more often would make the once a year shave a bit quicker?

if he´s shaving more often then it aint a "one year shave".

Quote from Crashgate3 :

I don't get it.

same here.. totally meaningless thread..

Quote from Byku :

O.o... Z10 didn't change anything with FXO so it should be a problem from the beginning... maybe O.o

i got that problem too.. came when i got my 8800gt... strange enough..
