There is more that goes into it than that. Post the rest of the PC spec.

My Intel e6750 is 2.6Ghz and it runs LFS just fine but then there's the RAM, graphics card, etc...etc.

Great race, not many entrants but we were all really close together.

The first 20 or more laps were a pitched battle between 4 or 5 of us, so many passes were made in those 20 laps it was unreal, not had a race like that in years on LFS and only 1 race comes to mind then.

Things settled down after about 30 laps as people pitted, was going to go as far as I could but nearly rolled it in that last chicane and it kind of put me in the pit lane entry anyway so I pitted. Didn't really want to change my rears but it changed 1 of them and I was out.

When CSF pitted I was a few seconds behind and looking to catch him but made the same mistake again and nearly rolled it, but hit the wall this time, giving me damage to the right front which slowed me down and I lost second place and nearly third place by the end of the race.

A great race, really enjoyed it. Thanks to all.

p.s. Forgot to mention nearly being, well, being taken out by franky on lap 2 when we were 1 - 2. GP's are getting better, first one was maybe 5 or 10 laps of door to door where this was a good 25 laps of door to door 8)

Quote from RIP2004 :I am sorry that I am no bootlicker who always says "Yes, and Great ... and we always had what we wanted ...".
For people who are never dissapointed and always happy with everything nothing has to be developed anymore and with this show off of dedication and love to LFS (everything doesn't matter, everything fine, get yourself 10 years for next patch) I would be really sorry for LFS.

It is just not right to keep people waiting for something that won't happen

Bootlicker, fanboy...that's the first things people turn to. I'm frustrated with the speed of development and certain bugs that are still but you can bitch and moan, point fingers and shout all you want cause it will get you exactly no where.

When the man comes to the forum and explains why things have not happened why do some feel the need to have a go and whine about things that, in their minds, have been promised to them.

The development speed of LFS will not change, you or me stomping our feet and whining about it like a little pig tailed 6 year old girl whose just dropped her ice cream on the floor before she's even taken a lick on the hottest day of the year, just as the ice cream man has no more left will not change anything.

Quote from Klouczech :Yeah! Nice to hear that you are happy. But Im not. Im not interested in your personal problem. You could say only: Sorry , new patch will be in 30 days.

Or he could have said nothing all, nice compassion for the person that brought you LFS, god damn.

Quote from ACCAkut :hmm, big writeup, but for me thats not really a reason to "stop" working for over a month (at least thats what it sounds like). Everyone has to go through something like this, my family had no inet and phone for three weeks because of Arcors inability and we had to keep everything going anyway, and i had to manage setting everything up in the new appartement while starting university. Its not a big deal, but thats just how I think about it.

So selling, packing up an entire family house with years worth of belongings then moving it all to a new house and unpacking it all again, then having no broadband connection and having to go through all the red tape that comes with two large ISP's is not enough of a reason to not having enough time to sort out with LFS? And even through all that he has still managed to send out various bits and peices for the beta testers and the test patches here!

I don't think you can compare all that to you moving into a uni flat.

No offense but you're both talking total and utter bollocks.

This guy seems to be doing kinda the same thing you are - http://forums.anandtech.com/me ... d=28&threadid=2268793

Asking people is always a good idea, BUT, always read reviews of what you're looking at and try and see some comparison tests. That way you get everyone’s input but you also gain some knowledge and make a much better personal decision which will always help you more than just blindly taking peoples advice....which is bad, mmmkay.

p.s. s14 drift. If those AMD's (and consequently my e6750) are unusable in 6 months I'll suck your balls.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :Dadge it's called consideration for the future. What is the point in spending £80 now on a CPU only to find in 6 months it won't even run the most 'basic' of the next-gen software..

That’s not even remotely going to happen, things don't move that fast, and if they did it means I'm ****ed as well because my e6750 just about matches the AMD 6400+.

Quote from NikLaw :2.7 Ghz isn´t that much for an AMD single core, but Intel´s 3 Ghz are enough for single core operations. If you don´t want to overclock, go for the E8400, if you want to overclock get a E5200.

2.7Ghz isn't that much?

I was using an older AMD4200+ socket 939 (2.2Ghz) on Crysis and then upgraded to a Intel e6750 2.6Ghz, kept the same graphics card and it made no difference at all in FPS.

The OP does not cash for a new motherboard to go Intel so it can ONLY be AMD.

Looking at LFS and more 2.7Ghz will be more than enough, graphics cards are maxing out way before CPU's.

Not that keen on BL1r, it's probably my least liked track.

I agree, everything he wants seems to be at odds with each other, power but fuel economy, cheap but expensive, fast but cheap to insure.

Plus I'm not sure you even really understand what car would be better (faster).

You need a small engine size (1, 1.1 or 1.2) small car, it will give you everything you want.

Quote from dean23 :THANK YOU VERY MUCH

.....yeah, you seem to have missed the point on that one.

The internet has things called search engines, they allow you to find lots and lots of information like web pages, your starwars name, pictures of monkeys that kind of thing.

Next time you're looking for something, try one of them. All you have to do is type in what you're looking for and boom, it give you a list of matches, they're super like that.

Good luck.

Quote from lerts :ill be honest though ill be called an idiot

i used to play f1 and brake with a button in the wheel

i was all relaxed driving in rl and on a long no problem straight i found myself searching for a button in the whhel to brake

i recall a guy saying he even tried to press a button to talk with his real pasanger

its just a matter of habits and dont aviation pilots learn with simulation as real as this one

for example thats another reason why i block my wheels with full travel brake pedal to have good habits in rl learn from this simulation

Stop either driving in real life or playing racing simulators as you are very real danger on the roads if you really cannot differentiate a driving game and real life.

I have no problem telling the difference between LFS (DFP 2 pedals. Throttle, right foot and brake left foot) and real life (throttle and brake right foot and clutch left). I have never even when really relaxed got confused between the 2.

Like sinbad said, your logic is flawed (like always) and I'm glad you don't endanger my life by being anywhere near me when driving in real life looking for the brake button on your real life car.

I don't think there is anything weird or strange going on, problems were found and they are taking time to fix, simple.

It will come out when it comes, every time a date is even vaguely mentioned some people think it's written in stone or something and they are owed that date....they've obviously not waited for the half-life 2 series.

This thread is just another way of asking when the VW is going to be out, should be locked like the others.

I may have missed something but you seem to be defining better as faster?

p.s. The cd player with mp3 aux can be brought from Halfords for £40.

A good blast to get back into LFS.

Got a good quali (5th) as the grid was really close and then got an uncustomary good start and managed to hold of Pingo for the first few turns. Was able to stick close to Exodus and P.Santos.

Luckily for me they slowed each other down and I was able to get close and after a little contact between them I was past Exodos and right behind Santos. Tried a few passes at the end of the lap and a couple more mid lap on the next lap but managed to make it stick on the fast, long right at the end of the lap. There was a little more contact that I could see in my mirrors which allowed me some breathing space.

After that I tried to keep my gap to Pingo which was working until we got deeper and deeper into the race, the lack of practise was starting to hurt, couldn't hit the 48's often enough and Pingo steadily gained on me. He was really good in sector 1 (all the T7R guys were) but I managed to pull away again over the rest of the lap only to loose it all the next sector 1. This went on for what seemed like ages until he was able to stick with me at the end of the lap and get past.

When he pitted at around half way I pitted the next lap, only changed the fronts which seemed like it gained me a mass of time on everyone at the front and I came out in front of the person who was leading before the pit stops and started to slowly pull away, things were looking good for a podium or better. Just had to see what the rest of the T7R pit stop were like.

Didn't really get the chance to see as a few laps after my pit my monitor when black as the hour long power saving mode kicked in by the time I got it back I was spinning around in mid air and my race was over.

Really enjoyed it, loved the close racing. Thanks all.

You were my main threat.

Pitted, changed the fronts and was away infront of speedcore.luiuiuiuiuiiu, pulled away and then blackness. New monitay when into power saving mode and when it came back on I was spinning round in mid air.

Would have got threejump as he changed all tires (think so anyway) that only left you.

Was a good race, excellent first laps. Had to eat a chocolate bar and have a drink to make myself feel better.

Unlucky to all but was good fun.

The idea is that the guy in front does his best to NOT let you past, he can take whatever line he wants.

The ideal line is the racing line which they will take or take a defensive line. It's your job to get past him, if you don't understand/think it's unfair then there is a bit of a problem for you and motorsport games.

Pop the keys that aren't working out (with a knife or something) give the keys a clean and the keyboard, put them back in and see if it helps.

If they still don't work then get a new keyboard, all those keys on in a line so something could have broke
