Quote from pearcy_2k7 :I remeber most of them 200 in profiler 540 in-game 10FFB 0 return rate etc but still doesn't feel the same im 70% sure my rotation is correct but the wheel in game turns alot more than mine, although its always been like that and i like it but now its turns a bit too much. Fells stiff too.

Is there anyway to get it back? or can i not get it back? Im on XP btw

You need to set the profiler rotation and in game rotation the same.

I use 540 as well and overall strength 103% and centre spring to 15% but that more personal preference.

Quote from harjun :i've never heard of anything being too big to fit in a recycling bin

The recycle bin has a set size, depending on the size of your hard drive, normally a few gig.

As LFS doesn't add any registry stuff there is no need to uninstall like other application so you can just delete it. When you uninstall things it doesn't use the recycle bin.

Taking into account all the skins, setups any add-ons and replays it could easily get over a 2 or 3 gig which would make it too big for the recycle bin and you'd be told that and ask to permanently delete it. And you can't serach for something that been deleted.

I don't know if system restore would work how you want it do but it MIGHT be worth a try. If you just need wheel settings it might be best to just ask for help with that, then for next time you know what to do.

Quote from gezmoor :So would I, it would be very odd otherwise... just as odd as having deformed wings but no affect on down force as is currently the case !

What I meant was, given that the modelling of the wings actually falling off is some way a way. I would much rather the devs just updated the physics modelling to approximately match the graphics aero damage that currently already exsits in the game on single seaters. I would much rather see that now, than wait for it to be implemented with what I believe is essentially a graphical improvement, (ie the wing actually detatching). It doesn't have to be accurate aero modelling just a rough approximation of loss relative to the kind of damage incurred. eg half bent front wing = 50% loss of down force etc. Just that in itself would be a huge step forward in realism for the single seaters IMHO.

Don't really want some half arsed guess and have more hot laps than are absolutely necessary delete now and then again later when the arse arsed bodge is updated again. Best wait until it can be done correctly and properly the first time rather than adding stuff that isn't finished or correct and will just need to be fixed later. It will just cause less hassle from those who don’t want hot laps deleting.

People should actually read the first post and then also read the post in the test patch to discover what is actually in this update.

Also asking for stuff or more info about what’s coming is never going to get an answer and is just pointless.

Apart from that, glad to see some movement and recognition of people thoughts and worries about what's happening with LFS.

Good job and thanks.

There just isn't many S1 servers. People just buy S2.

Patch Y means that demoers have the XFG, XRG and FBM ONLY!

If you have additional cars then you are using something you shouldn't or something has gone wrong.

The easiest thing to do would be to either remove anything you've added to LFS or download a new, clean version and use that.

Quote from NikLaw :Maybe the devs should change this to get more people into development like paying 2 pounds a month for faster improvements. Everyone who can afford a computer to run LFS can pay this.

That’s not true at all. People will have been brought their computers and LFS, people won’t be able or have the ability to pay monthly or the simple fact that they just cannot afford to have an additional monthly cost.

There are a million reasons why what may seem like a very small amount is just a step to far. To say everyone can afford it is to simplistic.

...and not forgetting those who just don't want to pay more money.

I have 2 harddrives, 1 for the operating system and 1 for everything else. Plus a 3rd that I use to back stuff up but I only plug it in when it's needed.

You just plug it in and format it, job done.

In XP or Vista for example all you need to do is right click on the drive you want to format and then click Format.

Quote from franky500 :CPW is when you get caught by the Cheat Protection system. so if you want to play online in LFS you will need to take off any cheats / hacks you may be using.

Just because you didn't get a replay doesn't mean no one saw it, it means no one knows the answer or doesn't want to help. Don't repost just cause no one answered, you can bump the orginal post by replying to it yourself or try harder to look for the answer yourself.

There is also a WHEELS section to this forum as well - http://www.lfsforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=15 - DON'T REPOST THERE!

There is also www.google.com as well, first result - http://forum.racesimcentral.com/showthread.php?t=299371

Quote from hyntty :So? You're not seriously trying to argue that Hatemelolmania doesn't exist on ITV? Aren't all commentators a little biased?

That's true, most of the stuff James Allen says about Hamilton just makes it more difficult for him cause you end up getting sick of him constantly talking about Hamilton comparing him to Senna, Like he did al the way through the Monaco GP.
Quote from Crommi :Matter of the fact is, I don't think Hamilton would have attempted pass like that if there was graveltrap instead of smooth surface to drive through.

You can say the same thing about all the F1 drivers.

Hamilton is not the only F1 driver to do all of the things he has done/said or make mistakes. Most of the negative stuff said about Hamilton always makes it out as though he is the only driver to ever do whatever it is they are talking about.

I dunno what it is that grates people so much, Casey Stoner gets the same kind of thing and I don't really understand why.

OK, if you don't like racing sims any more cause you've done some real driving and the racing sims aren't real then there really isn't anything anyone can say so.....bye, bye.

Everyone goes through phases of loving/liking/not liking/bored of playing LFS.

And buying the game, then leaving...DOH! First thing is no one cares if you leave, there is no need to tell everyone (sorry to be harsh). And second, you haven't even been playing the full game, you've got bored of the demo.....3 years! God damn.

The full game offers more in terms of more actual content and more things to do, leagues, teams more racing.

AMD's are cheaper.....and thats about it.

If you have to go AMD then the 9850 is the only choice, the rest are beaten by Intel, just read some reviews of any of the E8xxx series or even the E6750 or E6850 and you'll see no AMD really comes close.

It's always worth getting a top of the range card, for games the graphics card the most important part and is where I'd be looking to spend as much money as I could.

Taking advice is good and I'll take all the info I can get from friends and ppl here but you also need to do some more detailed research for yourself. Read some comparison tests and reviews to get a better idea of what you want and what you're looking for so you can make your own mind up and learn what you're getting and why.

The 9850 is the QUAD AMD should have brought out in the first place, it's the only one that can even try and compete with Intel's. And it's the only AMD worth getting if you're looking forward.

I don' think Hamilton hit Alonso. Alonso just did that jerk move on the steering wheel when he saw Hamilton was there.

The Damage to Vettels car was from Button.

Amp all you seem to want is Hamilton to be given a penalty no matter what he does.

Quote from Xaid0n :I'm going to be sticking with XP for now, Vista seems a bit too slow by what I've seen... But I could be completely wrong...

Everyone has a different opinion on Vista, most of the negatives just haven't given it time or haven't even tried it.

When I swapped over I liked it, then you have a bit of a dip because everything is different to XP and you have to learn where things are and how things work, once you've got past that you'll love it.

If you're getting a new system and DX10 card then there is really only one way to go.

Do you have 2 harddrives or is it a partition on 1 drive?

Just right click on the drive you want to format and click format.

You have no idea what has been said in private between the 2 drivers.

And as you've said before, I don't think there are many F1 drivers or any other motorsport drivers where they will admit to making a mistake.

There isn't much you can do apart from dropping LFS to it's lowest settings, which you've done. Don't forget draw distance and dynamic LOD (0 for best look, 1 for best performance), the AA will gain the the most IF you have it on.

Could try and make sure programs that aren't needed are killed, laptops can also run low power modes where certain bits of hardware are turned down, so double check everything is fully running.

LMAO! This fits in with General LFS Discussion how?

There is an Off Topic section but seen as you are in capable of reading then you might have trouble finding it.

If you do find it and if you post again, use a thread title that tells people what the thread is about, it really helps.

p.s. You are rubbish at using an internet forum.

I've had Vista x64 for not even 2 weeks yet!!!

I don't know if you can make it look like XP but it can go back to looking like previous versions. You just right click on the toolbar, properties and then customize the settings. I like Vista you just have to get used to it.

Make Vista look like XP...kind of - http://www.cnettv.com/9742-1_53-25854.html
