Quote from spsamsp :Ok... But as long as i have AGP them i am fine, right??

These specs on a Dimension 4400 doesn't mention any AGP slot, however, this specification of the chipset suggest it supports AGP4x. So if you do actually have AGP since the chipset should support it, it's still only running in 4x, whereas a modern AGP card would want to run in 8x.

In my opinion, you've waited too long for a performance upgrade, too many core things about your PC are outdated (400mhz FSB, AGP4x). Still, if you have AGP you could buy a decent graphics card which you could bring along for a completely new PC.

If you'd download everest, click "Report", do a "System Summary only", "Plain text", when it's finished hit "Save to file", save and attach the file to a post here, giving advice would be simpler (knowing what you have and what you don't).

spsamsp, PCI-E is still so new you can buy a brand new computer without it, a PC from several years ago will not have PCI-E, PCI-E and PCI are two extremely different things.

Did some random browsing/reading yesterday and found a neat comparison.

Aston Martin Racing guy: "my third le mans was pretty hard, we all drove 2-hour stints with in-car temperature peaking at about 71 degrees". (308km/h)

Random LFS race report: "was hard concentrating with 27 degrees in my room!" (0km/h)

You probably timed out as your LFS was frozen for 20 seconds.

I often hunt for/look at atleast 200 example shots before buying a camera.

Quote from EGGHEADNCJ :Does anyone know of any Copyright Free Dance or Rock music sites, that i can get the music for free? I need the music for a video but i dont want to get done for copyright, as i have no music that is copyright free

No one would ever care what you'd put into an LFS video, in terms of copyright etc.

Anyway, http://www.google.com/search?q=unsigned+mp3

Quote from mrodgers :NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Don't fall into the Aston National trap!!!! You'll end up there forever. It's almost like the oval. It sucks people in and doesn't let them go. I should know, it's where I have my most laps. Hehehehe

:uglyhamme

I'm finally free, i think. Crossed that finish line in mid-race, stopped, thought "right, them last 100 laps brought nothing new, what's next".

Did you have to compare it to the oval? :hide:

And turn off insim on demo hosts, getting statistics without lfsworld is just another reason not to buy the full thing.

Quote from NotAnIllusion :*Oh yeah, and what happens when more than one person plays LFS on the same PC, but only one is an intentional wrecker? For example if the kid brother's a bit of a tosser but the big bro is quite clean a driver.

Big bro buys a license and passwords his PC.

LFS (demo) could supply the master server with one of these hardware-based keys, if the key doesn't exist an 'account' is created needing no user input, the player gets assigned a username tied to this 'account' (guest19538 etc.), which server admins can properly ban.

Quote from danowat : .. the throttle wouldnt work, this lasted for what felt like an age, in reality it was probably only a few seconds, but the car was stranded illepall

Anyone else encountered anything similar?.,

Yup, had a race tonight where my brake pedal just stopped braking (while braking), and it didn't work ..

Quote from alco64 : .. until i took my foot off the accellerator and pressed it again.

Substitute accelerator with "pedal" in the above quote.

Not the first time it's happened, but it's been so rare i've not bothered to do anything about it yet.

Rubber, tension, big crashy noises from the starting platform, bit of airtime, catch at portal.

I'd say, if you were hopeless at track driving before spending alot of time with a sim, you'd probably be a bit less hopeless after, but driving the car on the limit, "approaching your in game lap times", absolutely not.

Quote from lucky :Dont be too slow so noone will cahtch you
Seriously: if you cinsider that on the outside you can go to edge of track on exit, but inside guy cant (bacause he has to leave space for you) and has to astrat corner from inside, you'll see that there are wery few corners like you described.

There are many corners where the ideal line aims straight for the inner curb.

Quote from lucky :And if it happens, it happen - or would you like to crash to prve your point? Cause I'd be on the inside if you like it or not ...

You shouldn't be on the inside if you didn't have overlap at turn-in, thus it should not happen, if there'd be a crash it would be your fault.

Quote from lucky :And what cutting of yre you dreaming about?

First tight left hander at Aston National for example, the line heads from outer curb straight to inner curb, cutting someone off is very simple, and not fun racing.

Quote from lucky :when there's more tha 1 driver going for same piece of track, they both (or all) better know how to share it

Yup, and they should also know when to share it.

Quote from lucky :All corners allow side by side, it's just that in some outside line is quite fast and in some not so fast. And in case you mention: why stop? You leave him 1 car width from inside curb and that's it (until apex). If he hits you, it's his fault. If he takes inside line then he must stick to it, not slide out because he misjudged braking. And anyway: he brake too late, you let him slide out and resume your place in front ...

And in the corners where the outside line is "not-so-fast", slowing down enough to allow side-by-side traffic can render the inner line faster, so you're basically just letting a car pass (which, in my view, had not even started overtaking in the first place). Your philosophy seems to allow blatant cutting of someone's line, and suggesting the driver being cut off should just leave room because that's somehow safe and fun racing.

I'd say having simple prerequisites to when two drivers are supposed to organize taking a corner side by side, when to yield etc. is alot safer.
Quote :And "blocking" on the straighjt: in my opinion only 1 move should be alloowed, so if you move off line to cover an overtaking move you shold not be allowed to return to racing line. Once you start moving (for example) left, you should not be allowed bo move back right.

Fully agree.

Quote from lucky :I agree 100%. It's really simple: the one that turns into another vehice is to be blamed for the accident, whether he's in front or back a bit, outside or inside. Always give room, and if yoiu're not 100% there's enaough room to take the racing line drive as ther's someone alongside ...
It's about fun and safe racing, not blaming each other for avoidable accident.

Easy to see your point, but i really disagree.

Many corners don't allow side-by-side traffic, anyone can "outbrake" into a tight corner on the inside, putting themselves basically onto the inner curb with 90% of the turning still left to do, the driver on the outside would basically need to stop and just let the "outbraking genius" get thru.

Quote from spsamsp :.. when i cant do it, i cant do it.

Oh but you can, just find a tiny bit of patience. Level 37 isn't hard, if you've not solved it yet you've just not looked at it long enough.

Pulley lifts armadillo with the scoop thing, stop the scoop and make armadillo fall out and into the warp thingie.
