Just came across the Gentleman's Cup server with the XFG at AS2 and had a few races.
.......you mean Intel based.
Pentium is the old Intel series of processors, Core 2 is the new series.
This thread would be a good read to catch back up on a few things - http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=40042
Also check out the E8xxx series, I go for one of those. 3 or 4gig of ram should be no problem cause it's cheap right now, obviously to use 4gig you'd need to go 64bit.

Can't wait, had some great races here. Reminds me of demo days Blackwood, really close racing.

After running AVAST for a couple of days I can see how much AVG8 (and previous versions) were really slowing my system down, especially on start up, not turning on to loading XP, I mean on my desktop and the time it took for me to actually start using my PC. I'd start firefox and have to wait what seemed like ages until it loaded up, I'd say 10 to 20 seconds.
With AVAST as soon as my desktop is up I can start running programs. Plus it very customizable, I can update manually without stupid warning icons, choose whatever features I need, it’s much better than AVG (which I'd been using for years).
It also picked up viruses (not serious) hidden in old system restore files in the hidden system volume information folder on all 3 of my hard drives, AVG totally missed them
If you are running AVG, I'd say give AVAST a try and see if you notice a performance increase, well worth the change in my opinion.

If you want to talk or don't mind the talk then you use teamspeak, if you don't want to talk or listen to others talk then you don't use teampeak. If the game has built in voice comms then you don't have a choice, but none of that is the real big point which is the bandwidth cost to all the users, servers and master server.
In game comms is just pointless when all the bad things about it can be simply cut out and all the positives about voice comms can be added by just using something like teamspeak.

It's been suggested a few times and the same reasons remain.
There would be annoying muppets, abusive muppets after incidents, plus some people don't like too much typing let a lot hearing other people talking and causing a distraction. Then you have the spectators talking away while some people are trying to race, you could have a mute but then what’s the point of the in game voip.
There’s also the extra bandwidth strain it would put on the servers and the master server, that’s why TS or the other one are so good, they don't use the racing server or master server.
3rd party software just does the job better for loads of reasons.

I'm using AVG (always have) and Sygate but I think I'm gonna give Avast or NOD32 a go. Since updating to AVG8 the time from what seems like getting a fully loaded XP to the time I can actually start opening things and starting Fire fox seems to have quadrupled.
Not to mention all the little "improvements" they seem to have made that you just can turn off or can turn off but get a constant reminder via a red icon in my system try.
Gonna give Avast a try.

You need to learn them all, well, you need to learn a few variations of each track that way you piece the rest together from the bits you've learnt.
...and, I don't care.
That guy is piss funny, think I watched 3 or 4 of them. Going to go through everyone he's done later.
Yeah, but guy come on! LFS is an online racing sim, it's not an arcade game to be played on a hand held console or any console.

ah, if we're gonna be grown up.
The performance gap between the 50 and 125 was immense. The 50 was 40mph flat out...down hill...with the wind...so it was really not that dangerous, hence the stupid things I used to do.
The 125 was a different story, it was fast enough and accelerated fast enough to be dangerous, there was never any messing around with my 125 like I did on the 50....
....well, apart from sitting on the pillion seat with no hands when there was no one around...again at night, blame my girlfirend of the time, it was a 5 mile ride home and I had to do something!
...thinkin about it I'm probably not the best person to give out safety advice.

I had the king of all bikes, a Kawasaki AR50 and then a Suzuki RG125.
I loved the AR, riding around back lanes with the lights off when there were no clouds and the moon was really bright, was awesome!
p.s. danowat.........baaaaaaaaaaahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahhahahaha!
EDIT: Pic of my AR50

The Aprilia, obviously, there really is no other choice.
You can try to think with your brain and rationalize it all you want but there is a little voice inside you screaming at you to buy the Aprilia no matter what!

192.168.1.2 is the default IP of your router.
EDIT: If it works without the router plugged in I'd say it's something to do with the firewall...which that router has....maybe.

It's got nothing to do with us, no admin, mod or other LFS user can do anything at all about it.
Only the devs can decide what to do.

It is, I just don't know what you're trying to say, I wasn't saying, don't make posts.
All I wanted was for you to explain why and what your post is about? What do you want from this discussion? The cars finish in a certain order when driven by the AI...I don't understand why that means something or what needs to be talked about?
Are you just trying to say that the FZ5 is faster in a straight line and should beat the LX6?
If so the LX6 is much lighter, faster into the turns (braking much later), through the turns and out of the turn that means it just quicker round the track.

Reason : typo
Not really sure what your point is?

He just isn't allowed to buy the game, nothing to do with payment methods.

I posted something on the peregrinus forum, it's not good news I'm afraid.
What you are feeling is exactly what is supposed to happen, the very reason why game developers create a free demo in the first place.
You play it, you like it and you want more so you then buy the full game to satisfy the need for more content.
The LFS demo is very generous, it always has been, it's probably too generous as there is enough for some to never bother buying the game. As I'm sure you're becoming aware, you are not the first person to ask for more free content, I think you've been treated very well saying how many times this question has been asked.
You've got no chance at all of getting more free demo content.

It's all about profits, all these price increases come from whatever company making sure that it makes more money than it made last year and so on. None of them will accept a dent in their profits, they don't take on any of the extra cost to them they just pass it all on and more the customer.
I know it's the way of the world is but it's hard to accept when you see the price increase, hear the managing director or whoever say, "ah, it's because the cost has gone up for us, blah, blah, blah" then later on read some where about record profits, again.
If things keep going the way it is the government will have to do something because it will just get to expensive to live, let alone drive to work, transport goods, etc, etc.
For fuel costs there is the problem that it’s gone so high and keeps getting higher the harder it is to bring the price back down to anything like a reasonable level.
Unless the fuel companies take on more of the cost increase it’s never going to go down, it will just keep rising.
...also, biofuel is not the answer, that would just create and whole set of different problems.

I think it's totally pointless arguing about it for the very simple reason that 99% of the time when something in LFS is implement it is never reversed/changed because of pressure from users.
It's here and I'm pretty (99%) sure it's here to stay, so the only choice is to deal with it in your own why, break things in your room, slap yourself then just get on with playing the game.
