we should form a LFS club beta doesnt start untill the time designated it will just say your key is invalid. and since it is closed beta, no pics/ vids or details are to be posted in other forums :/

when did you preorder? i preordered recently and it was already set to arrive by november 2nd

Quote from MijnWraak :

I've had mine for 3 weeks. I absolutely adore the clubsport pedals. However the wheel, IMO, is uncomfortable and ruins the experience. It's too heavy and has too much friction, the wheel's thick rim feels weird in my hands (others will like it) and the stitching on the inside is poorly done and feels very rough to the touch

If I could go back, I'd get a g27 wheel, ClubSport pedals, and a Lightning SST Shifter.

did you turn dampening off and set it to a higher driftmode?

i think inside simrqacing talked about course editor and maybe showed video of it recently. I already preordered gt5 today, even though i don't own a ps3 :/

damn, i wasnt gonna renew for another few months... hmm

well, there's nothing going on in the on topic sections. this is the only place that shows signs of life.

Have you even played it?

.

yes, i played through it on hard. when i saw him tossing moltovs, i thought to myself "oh s***, I should probably run underneath the stairs to avoid burning alive." Wow, it worked!

i like buying and selling stuff in forums like www.overclock.net better than ebay. I sold a motherboard for $150 (145.50 after paypal chargges) on ebay, and endd up paying $11 for shipping and ebay took 13.75. :/ not too bad but still kinda lame.

lol maybe stepping out of the fire is a good way to not die.

I just bought BAF

a new or used 4850-4890 would be a nice upgrade. if you want directx 11 features, then a 5750-5770 is okay for lower resolutions.

yeah, you can drift

2 more days

I'm going to try to get back into simracing after 5-6 months without a wheel. Are there any current promotions going on within iRacing for ex-members with existing accounts?

There was one in july where you'd get 30 credits for resubscribing :/ I missed it and my subscription runs out in about 10 days. think i am gonna cancel since I am pretty busy w/ other things.

just got a gts 250 for physx.

Quote from pb32000 :

Whoa I have a 5850... and a 9600gt knocking about too! Just reading about installing the 9600gt for PhysX, sounds like quite a good idea, did you have any problems?

when I 1st installed, everything was running in slow motion, so i reinstalled nvidia patch, and ati drivers and restarted, and then everything worked fine

I have noticed that 9600gt's dont downclock when idling like my 5850 does. i guess its cus the 5850 is newer tech.

Mafia II only stresses my 9600gt 38% according to msi afterburner. :/ looks like the game need a patch or physx needs to be updated.

Mafia II has more realistic damage and handling than most arcade games, at least it feels like it from playing with a keyboard. the damage in mafia II is pretty nice.. wonder if the engine could be used for a driving game.

nope, used latest drivers. I did it just to see if I could. mafia II is only singleplayer iirc, and that is a big minus.

^there are different preorder packs that give you different cars. its all on wikipedia.

I put a NVIDIA 9600gt in my rig as a dedicated physx card to assist my ATi 5850, and now I am getting over double the average framerates so i can run physx on high easily along with everything else! Love ati! so if you are an ati user, you can slap in a cheap nvidia card if you have a lot of physx games.

there's visible tire deformation in Mafia II. did you guys notice?

here's a vide of me running with my i7 and ati 5850 i have physx on high and i get a massive performance hit. turns into bullet time towards the middle/end of the gunfighting. not quite a slideshow, but massive frame drop.

would it be possible for someone to mod the dirt 2 game into a sim? :/ it doesn't look like pc gamers are going to be gtting anything close to the graphics of dirt 2 on the pc with super realistic physics. rfactor 2 is supposed to be released before 2010... but screenshots are not mindblowing.

i have the same pad and mouse. it is a tad bit heavy and big, but very precise.

yeah give us $60 for year subscription

richard burns rally came out for the console, and so did burnout. will gt5 have better damage than those games?
