Probs said somewhere before but hey . . .

Got kicked for taking up server slots when race was full. Seems a bit odd for it to do that.

Design or flaw?

Try upping your salt intake for while.I used to get the same thing (Still do on occasion) and I reckon it was on account of bad diet. Fruit, veg, cut down on the crap (Fizzy pop, crisps, you know the score) and drink lots . . . water. Chuck a bit of salt on yer meals a couple of times and see if that cuts it down. Think about what your doing methodically. It really is amazing just how much what you eat effects who you are. So don't just go splashing the salt on, just up the intake a little bit. If the symptoms persist then it probs ain't that and move on to something else. But for me it's generally salt that caused the ticks and I found I could stop it within a few minutes by eating a bit of salt.

Curious ain't it.

Very good mate. Hope you don't get globered by copyright. But superb presentation values. Exellent.

A very useful thread as and when the guide gets done.

I have a dual core 1.8? Ghtz with 1gig ram. Using Vista LFS runs worse than on my old machine. Looking to streamline and dump unwanted programs and services. A good guide I am looking forward too.

Although having recently used the latest 32bit Nvidea forceware drivers everything seems to have speeded up slightly. So a bit of advice to anyone running vista, get shot of the shipped drivers and install the latest from the manufactuer.

Yes . and yes.

LFS ain't about drifting it's about racing, the drifters are out there and they are more than welcome to practice their strange obsession but ther're are more racers than ricers.

And there is a gamut of servers available under s2. Buy the licence and come join the fun.

'Shock and awe, Shock and Awe!' And no, I'm not talking about what happens when I start waving my willy about. Although it ain't far off.

And thank Blackout, Might give it an airing. Prefer one with 'I would rather be waving my Willy' or something like that. Lol

Shhhhh . . . . Becky's listening. She'll accuse us of indecent exposure . .

I might put 'Willy Waver' on my number plate from now on. Or prehaps due to size constraints (No pun intended) I have to stick with 'Willy Wave'

Quote from SpikeyMarcoD :

Fail to see what is funny about this bear

You havn't seen me.

é . . . Oh yea. Cool. Have to remember that.

I don't think I've said anywhere on this forum that I'm getting a G25. Nor do I have it in my username. Although FunnyG25Bear does have a certain ring to it. The fact that I'm getting a G25 is neither here nor there and certainly wouldn't entertain it being used as a point of bragging or showmanship. And as for willy waving . . . I have a willy for that. Which happens with hilarious regularity when I'm pissed. And sometimes when I'm not, but generally people, including myself, don't find it quite so funny then.

But now I feel that Becky has mooted that to own a G25 i like owning a porsche. And I really don't ever want to be the kinda guy who would own a porsche, or at least to admit to it.

So from this moment on I shall no longer be commenting on how my G25 is bigger than yours. Nor shall I be waving it around or be taking it into the hottub. What I do in the privacy of my bedroom with the door shut will from now on just be between me and my willy . . . Sorry, G25.

Edit - *Cough* G25. Becky *Cough* . . . . Dammit. Sorry, just slipped out. Bad habits. Just let m get that back . . . in . . .there and *zzzziiiippppp* There. All away now and no harm done.

Can't stand wallpapering. Can't really hack Painting but nobody wallpapers anymore. One 5litre Dulux Magnolia, a good run up and a plastic sheet over the carpet and it's job done.

But wallpapering . . . .thats just so passe (Add your own accent 'cause I can't find it).

If my new G25 (Have I told you lot I'm gettin a G25, I have? Oh. Well, anyway, I'm gettin a G25) . . Where was I, oh yes, so If my G25 comes just as the CTRA kicks off again wouldn't that just be peachy. Validation as in the synchronisity kind. Karma, whatever, call it what you will. But pretty good whichever way you look at it.

G25, me. You know I'm getting one? You do? Just checking.

Just drop in anywhere on the M25, pick up a couple of random hitchhikers, dress them up in those spare flight suits that you needed to get rid off and hi tail it pack to base. Drop em in the Debrief after giving them a scant and wholy innadiquate backstory and hitail it outta there and back into LFS. . . .

There. Sorted. You only had to share with the group.

CTRA License Members . . . We get the job done.

Sod Global warming, it's the breakdown of the earths magnetic field and the inevitable pole swap that I'm really filling my kegs over . ..

Seems like there's a blow up Barbie going cheap . . .

did you know that there is one single species on Earth with uses 25% of global assets.

God I know. I was chatting away to my mates yesterday in the pub and was saying about the three moniters thing. Need a bit more desk space first though, which means a bigger room, which means a bigger house, which means my own place, which means not spending my money on another two moniters . . . .

And you only spoiled LFS for me in the bestest way . . . .

Yea. Noticed that. But was wondering whether my license held up with the new system or whether I would have to start again. Will have a play. You never know, I might have that Titanium moniker soon. hehe.

Edit - Yey. Still stands.

Hehe. we shall see hey guys. We shall see.

Yes. I have done it. I have joined the brethren and sisterhood (Becky) and got me a wheel. They ain't cheap are they.

I feel a should explain a tad. Call it justification if you will. Whatever, it's cathartic for me.

I went to that there southhampton race meet at the place in the square with big screens and wheels and sound and no light and stuff. I have to be honest, it ruined LFS for me. I realised that just playing with the mouse I was only getting half, nay a quarter of the game play experiance that LFS offers. I also realised that I could be quite a fast driver which was a surprise to me as much to anyone. I have hardly played LFS since that meet just because . . . I just . . . I just couldn't do it. How could I mouse after experiancing that.

And thus we are here. I thought F*** it. I enjoy playing it. The justification for buying a wheel might not be on truly solid ground but I've seen how much some of you guys spend on your rigs and a 150 quid ain't a lot compared to some of you.

So after trolling oxford in search of a supplier of said equipment. I mean, what is the point of being a shop i you don't actually stock anything. Sure, If I want an xbox wheel or a wii thingy then I can purchase them till the cows come home but a Wheel for the PC, 'Sorry mate, don't stock those. Try PC World'. ARRRGGGGG!!! So after wasting my days trying to keep the traditional shopkeeper in business I turned to the great Flip Flap Wip Wop T'internet. A few short plastic numbers later and I have purchased myself a SuperNovaTechnicalThingymabob Gtwentyfive . . . ish. God knows when it will arrive and in how many pieces but when it does I am back. And back with a vengence 'caue I don't spend that amount of money and not get the worth from it.

Just thought I'd share. Laters kids.

your health comes fist Becky. Regardless what the baying masses are after. Get well soon.

Thanks for the heads up but thats not really what I'm doing here. I want people to share with the group different techniques f setting up for the mouse. It's not strictly for my benefit as I hv sortta fixed what was up with my sets. Patch X obviously reset the settings and I had managed to cover most things but change the Final Ratio in the gearbox . . . Now I got that back to where it was (I use around 3500, just for those who are reading this) my set ups have returned to me . .

But if peeps do have things to say about mousing in general that hasn'talready been covered then please post . . . .

I is a mouser. Hopefully not for much longer but I am still a mouser after all these LFS years. I am also a stalwart FZR driver. Not the easiest of combinations I think most of you will agree but I've stuck with it all the same.

Thus this 'ere thread.

With the new clutch preload facility and numerous other improvements what have people found in setting up their cars.

The reason I start this is that things arn't what they used to be and I am struggling to catch up. Whilst I was never the fastest driver on the track I could still crack out some stunning As Nat laps that many people couldnt beieve was from a mouser.

It just ain't happening now. I am still playing with stuff, the upshot of which is my first pointer . . . . Clutch preload is better of lower than higher, especially with my setup. I run at AsNat FZR 300kn and I'm still thinking that is too high. It might be a case of not getting used to the slidey slidey aspect of the higher prelod settings but I do like the snap you get from lower kn settings . . .

So. I am looking for stability hints and discussions. Particularily for the FZR but generally for any mouser out there who has found ways to 'settle' some aspects of car handling down.
