Before anyone can suggest anything you need a budget.
I have vista with no problems at all, if you buy anything close to a half decent PC it will run it. Just because your parents have a brand new PC doesn't mean the spec isn't shiiiiiiit some where. Sorry that's a little harsh but the words brand new really doesn't mean it's fast/any good.
Have to back up George here, the people suggesting more RAM really don't know much/anything. It will not help with FPS in any game at all. The only benefit from more RAM will be loading times...if you're lucky.
My PC (the important bits, motherboard, hard drives mean nothing for this):
That runs LFS totally maxed out and vista with absolutely no problems, was the same even when I had 2GB of RAM, only got 8 cause it was an amazing offer.
EDIT: Just read your last post. Set the AA/AF to 0 just to make sure, when looking for FPS they should be the first to go.
If you asked people a year or two ago they would have said the same thing. Maybe another year or two (lol) before S2 is done. Here we are a year or two later and still no sign and still saying, just a year or two to go.
Moral of the story don't wait for S3 before you buy and no one has any idea about anything.
Plus you've been here since 2005 so you should know all this.
The internets doesn't work like that. One person might get bored, sure, but there is always another to take his place......you need to kill the source.
You know he's a tool, I know he's a tool but there are millions yet to discover it!
If there was ever a piece of information that this thread really needed, the thread about getting back to the roots of LFS, trying to recapture some of the many great race combos that could be found any night of the week when you were guaranteed to get a good, clean and close race then that.......wasn't even close to being it
People aren't attacking you, you just have to realise that you're about the 100000000000000 person to say I want S3, when is it coming out, where is the Scirocco, when is the patch coming out, why has it come out..etc, etc.
People are bored of that.
p.s. you may not care what I think but I'm going to tell you anyway, so will everyone else, over and over and over again.
The are plenty of people who can provide a server, it's just that there is a good chance it wont get used. I can get franky to set up a server with any combo you want.
After getting back into LFS we (ATC) have been using the LR server alot, not because of the combo or the insim but purely down to the good racing. We had a 60 GP (which you would have had to fight for a grid slot at one time) and only really got half the people we would of liked.
We're starting to set things up again, we used to race XFR/AS2 all the time and always have the server full within minutes, but those times are gone. We're looking to be racing the XFR on various combos and see how it goes.
p.s. Not ass kissing but if it wasn't for the guys in T7R providing us with some excellent races and a great league a few months back I dunno if we'd have picked up LFS again as much.
I've been here since the forum started, if I cared about the post count even a little bit it would be much higher.
Telling someone to use a more descriptive title for a thread asking for help is helpful. If he used a better title which gives an idea of what the thread is about more people will look at it.
If you uses crappy titles that don't give an idea of what is in the thread or what the thread is about you wont get people looking......and then helping.
I think you have bigger things to worry about other than someone calling you an idiot and dirtying your name over a teamspeak incident. That replay of you wrecking will let eveyone know exactly what they need to.
