Quote from jamesrowe :

Get Linux, all your problems solved!

Even lack of Force Feedback with Linux, and FPS loss in LFS when ran with wine / cedega?

Quote from franky500 :

and erm.. it varies. sometimes LFS might be better. but other times................

You should change the combo, man...

What's the difference? Since the game doesn't actually simulate the fluid lit in a cylinder, and propably never will, you (or the devs) have to create different engine characters by manipulating some numbers, that may effect some other numbers. IMO this thread is just as pointless as "what engine you want for S3".

Would it make you happy if the devs created a car that has performance like a bio-diesel and called it a bio-diesel car? I couldn't care less - as long as I can race them

Quote from [RCG]Boosted :

once i get a new graphic card i wont use windows at all, linux ftw

What about LFS? Are you a mouser?

Quote from J.B. :

frokki:
What exactly would I be trying to fix by heating up the card with a hot air gun?

When graphics card overheats (on long term), the tin on the soldering joints may melt a little, causing a "cold joint" (dunno if that's the right term in english) or if one existed from the factory, making it worse, that may distract electricity flow. When appearing of those artifacts is random (like you have), this may well be the cause. Melting the tin again with a gun may fix the cold joints. 250°C should be enough. Remeber to cool the card carefully though.

edit: I don't think it's RAM either, it shouldn't cause problems like that.

7 answers, most are non-constructive.
Well, anyhow have a nice day, and be positive!

Thks again for such a nice SIM!

Maybe the answers weren't as constructive as they could've been, but they weren't mean either, and definately had nothing to do with being a demo racer. You just got what you asked, and should be happy that Spankmeyer didn't reply you

Great stuff, I hope you keep 'em coming!

Quote from Vykos69 :

Cool thing!

[half serious stuff] So.. now league stuff in general board is cool afterall? [/half serious stuff]

Quote from LightStar :

and installing windows again ?? if you still have that problems after that then is your gpu dieing :P

I don't think it has anything to do with Windows. But if the card is broken (which it seems), you can try to fix it - as stupid as it sounds - with a hot air gun! You have to be quite careful though, because you just want to melt the tin on joldering joints a bit, not fry the whole card.

But there's really nothing to lose, man. You either get it working or not.

Quote from funnybone2 :

your REALLYY FUNNY!

Thanks. But manipulating the content of my post when quoting really isn't.

Quote from Qgal5kap :

Anyway .. my request is that we get an option to enter our cars data
into the game, as to simulate the cars behaviour and character based on that info.
This way LFS could become a usefull tool for all who have projects like this on their own.
It would help them get a feel for what they are doing.
And might also help in making the correct choises in regard to what modifications the car needs next.

There is also another side to this. Who wouldn't want to be able to drive his own car in this sim ?

There are already few unofficial add-ons, LFSTWEAK and MECANIK by Funnybone. They only work with patches P and Q though! Use the search

Quote from Fischfix :

i mean, watching an oval race is not that catchy you are right there, but racing in it is if you are taking it serious. it's like watching people playing cards. that is one of the most boring things in the world unless you play yourself.

I'm not flaming or anything, but why on earth oval racing is the most spectated racing form in the states, but really really boring in LFS?

'Cos I enjoy watching circuit racing in both, real life and LFS.

Quote from funnybone2 :

RELESE! RELESE! RELESE! RELESE! or there willb e hell to pay demo racers ATTACK!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

And Cue-Ball, I think that most of us (even non-native english speakers) got wheel4hummer's sarcasm. It really was obvious.

Sorry to hear that, Niko!
Was your cat sneaking on your neighbour's backyard?

Quote from rc10racer :

Ok Bob sorry about that but most will agree with me

True, I was gonna reply the same but noticed you had already done it. Can't comment about [FM], but their name sounds as great as crazy frog as an avatar

Quote from al heeley :

So what does Vista really offer those happy with XP?

nothing worth the money, at this point.

I am running on XP until..
a) I build myself a new PC that can run Vista (requires 4gb of ram in my books) properly, and that happens next year.
b) Someone writes decent FFB drivers for Linux, and that won't propably happen.

South City and Fern Bay!

Quote from kspbarebone :

Hi!

Why don't you develop a car like this in the next version? I think it gonna
be really fun

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dchPW55k6pk&eurl=

Hi kspbarebone! LFS only has 3 developers, and highest priority in the developement at the moment are gameplay related things, such as even more realistic physics and damage. I believe we are not going to see new tracks or cars for a while.

However, I'm sure we will get plenty of more tracks and cars before S3 (that's years away), and there has been rumours of modding possibilities after it.

I'd suggest you to buy S2, sit back, and enjoy the ride, because you won't regret it!
There's already 3 single seaters you can drive.

Quote from Kegetys :

Here's a video of mine

Nice leds (could you please come and build me one too :shy, but you drive like a junkie who hasn't slept in two weeks!

Quote from SladiVadi :

It's bad when you can't hear skidding tires of the car in front of you. That easily causes an accident. It just happened to me.

I'm not sure if you would in real life. Or even if you would, you'd propably earlier notice him locking up by the smoke, not tire squeel.

I don't do lunches.

I wake up @ 8.30am, eat breakfast, work from 10 am to 5pm and eat a dinner when I get home. But if you asked about the dinner, of course it simply rocks because I'm the best chef in the world

Quote from Dajmin :

@tristan:
See I think the problem there is trying to sell it as a quickie

But cheating won't work here, because LFS wawes the checker flag exactly when defined.

:feedtroll

This was much more fun to watch, because I didn't drive and therefore didn't know the results. Great improvement in quality too!

Someone please calculate mine. I'm so shamed that I can't.

Quote from AutoXLR8 :

u forgot the americans(sorry, i dont mean south americans)... they will build an engine with 50liter which has only half power of an 15liter german engine and a 6liter nippon engine...

Yeah, but that doesn't count - If they run out of oil, they just start another war to get some.
