What about a voice recognition program where you just call out "send setup" followed by the persons username
You can always use the screen for gaming, I plug my 50" into the PC when I play LFS
Nah it's a full custom build to the specs I wanted.
Not exactly a role model for positivity are you?
All the cars I have owned have run until sold with the exception of the XJ40 which blew a head gasket.
Here's a pathetic attempt in the XJ40

Wow old thread, quick update time.
I spent roughly another $1000 on this car in stereo equipment...
I later in 2006 bought this $50 heap for parts
It has a fully reconditioned 4.1L motor and a 3 speed manual transmission.
http://i10.photobucket.com/al ... 112/FPVaaron/DSC00965.jpg
After pulling out a few parts and doing a few burnouts I gave it away to my cousin.
In late 2006 I came to the decision that I did not want to turn the XD Falcon into a weekend car instead a 1979 ford Corrina.
So I bought one.
I was still 17 at the time and I spent over $6000 on the engine $4000 on other bits and pieces, It ran a 14.0 @ 101mph on the 1/4 and made 230HP @ the wheels.

In mid 2007 I was 3 months from getting my License and wanted a pair of fancy speakers for the Cortina. I sold the XD falcon for a pair of speakers, I regret it now but at the time it seemed worth it.
When I got my license I realized something, this car is far to impractical and I have no other car to drive.
So I bought this.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a112/FPVaaron/DSC01703.jpg
It's a 1979 450SE Benz, It was a 4.5L Injected v8, I thought it was pretty unique I paid $1300 for it, very good for getting from A to B in some form of style.
Unfortunately I made the mistake of letting some one else drive it as I was too drunk to drive home one night. He smashed it into a concrete wall at 65km/h I was not very happy that night, Although it still drove home!
http://i10.photobucket.com/al ... 112/FPVaaron/DSC01809.jpg
Which meant now I needed a new car to drive everyday, I was still angry about my Merc being crashed so I felt like buying something a bit outrages.
http://i10.photobucket.com/alb ... DSC01827.jpg?t=1286352723
I loved it at first, I invested a few dollars into the sound system, Being an 18 year old in a Series 3 Jag with big sub woofers pumping out heavy metal with all the windows down was fun for a few weeks until the petrol was just too much.
I sold it a few months later with a spectacular new idea.
What if I had Two Cortina's? Identical cars, one modified for weekend driving one standard for daily driving. So I bought another one.
http://i10.photobucket.com/al ... 112/FPVaaron/IMGP2936.jpg
This was cheap $500 which meant I had a fair bit left over from the Jag, unfortunately because it was so cheap I did not have much respect for it. After a week I decided I did not want it anymore. Rather than sell it I did some home weight reductions and took it off roading until it broke.
Now that I had established that driving a standard Cortina everyday was just far too crap after having a Series III Jag.
I needed a balance, something I can drive fast. Something manual, but at the same time practical.
Another falcon,
an EB XR6,
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a112/FPVaaron/DSC01904.jpg
It had Leather interior and a 5 speed manual, After 2 weeks I broke the gear box doing burnouts after buying a new gear box I broke a valve racing a Skyline I realized that all I had done was buy another car I built my weekend car for.
I sold it.
I needed a balance between practicality and Luxury now at the same time reasonable economic.
Idea!

Yeahh another Jag this time an Xj40. I liked this car alot, I owned it for almost a year invested a fair bit of money in it, took it out for the occasional wet weather drift session It was economic and reliable. well, it was reliable for almost a year, On a hot summers day after almost owning this car for over a year the head gasket without warning deteriorated.
I was upset, I let it sit in my driveway for a while then later sold it for 25% of what I paid for it
I needed something else now, I wanted something outrages again, something I can just go nuts in and do what ever I want.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a112/FPVaaron/DSC00167.jpg
Jeep wrangler, I did some crazy things in this car, then after a month I sold it for a 40% profit I made up for the losses I made on the jag,
I wanted something Jag like. but a v8, a nice v8 with luxury
Which brings me to what I currently own and have owned for now over 8 months, I don't plan on selling it any time soon either. It's a 1994 BMW 740iL I have put a Twin 2.5" exhaust on it which sounds awesome I thnk, A dvd player and the speakers I sold my first falcon for.

They are quite an ugly car yes, but they're not well known for looks, it's the RB30DET under the hood which is capable of over 800hp is what makes it popular.
I've been on the tweak server a few times and have not had any problems with it.
uhm, so it's on the 3rd of October and you posted it on the 4th?
Hundreds of hours a week 
Hahahahahahahahahahahaah
The kind that has people pretending to be police that ban you if you don't pull over to their type 5 horns.
Reminds me of a cruise server for some reason
You don't want to know
What if World of Warcraft were more like LFS?
What if..?
The basic level 20 mount used the LFS physics engine, rather than instantly accelerate to it's maximum speed of +40% running speed which I estimate to be roughly 35km/h (21.8mph) but rather accelerated depending on surface traction or gradient of the terrain. In my professional opinion LFS developers should pitch to Blizzard about implementing some form of realistic tyre physics to accommodate World of Warcraft for their poor solution to realism.
Also, I recently noticed that the FXO GTR and the XR GTR have exactly the same engine, I understand that they differ in RWD compared to AWD, Though the XR GT and FXO (standard cars) have different capacity and power curves.
I have always liked the XR's because of their torque feel above the rest which is why I propose that the XR GTR capacity be lifted from 2.0L to 2.4L and it's turbo PSI be lowerd

Took a while, I felt as if I needed a bigger screen first, 50"
Picked up a G25 yesterday, build a stand out of chipboard which will soon need replacing.
Excuse the mess.

I am pleased to tell you with great gratitude, that I have read over your post. It is informative of your personal Live for Speed traits and an excellent source for any new racer looking to understand this great simulator.
I would also like to further thank you for your time and patience to get your point across.
Unfortunately I regret to inform you that you have failed to make any kind of impression on me.
Kind regards
TEaaron
I know this, I agree they should stay for me when I'm bored
I prefer racing, cargame.nl servers are good for me, I have my 4 figure point score and in between races or if I crash, I like to see how many cruise servers I can get banned from in 5mins, my record is 3.. Can you beat it?
Aside from racing I like to drift when I feel like having a relaxing more social LFS session.
There's something about cruise servers that I highly dislike, It may be the over stimulated 13 year old admins, it may be the people having fits of rage if you drive too fast for them, it may be the fact that people buy a racing simulator to drive in an environment smaller and more controlled than that outside their house..
