I personally think the graphics are great as is, with the addition of the high-res packs that the community has produced, plus a healthy dose of AA, it's spot on.
LFS looks so much more real than the competition (competition, yeah right ), everything is dull and dirty like in real life.

Now, if you'll excuse me, i must go and find out why everything outside has suddenly developed this weird.... glow........

Quote from J.B. :

USB mouse (wireless) and printer (off) were connected, maybe that accounts for a part. Switching the switch on the back of the PSU makes the measurement go to 0 W.

Yeak, AFAIK anything plugged in via USB can draw power even after shutting down your pc, unless you hit the switch on the back.
I think this go's for anything plugged into your mobo to be honest, and the mobo itself, as the power supply is obviously supplying power to it even after shut down.

EDIT: And if i'd properly read Shotty's post then i'd have seen he posted pretty much the same. Oh well, it's backs his opinions up huh?

Well, i feel slightly let down by the whole affair. I got in a shed load of sweets ready for the little shites, and two calls is all i got, one from my next door neighbours all dressed up, and one from some other goons.

On the plus side, i have discovered that a combination of a sour raspberry and a sour pineapple starbursts (Opel Fruits for for the old skool) is really quite tasty. All i have left are some Cadburys chocolate eclairs, and some little marshmallow guitars......


EDIT: Oh, erm... Pinch, Punch, First of the Month

Quote from Jakg :

In the UK we have Asda, who are owned by Walmart (or are now, after they bought them a few years back).

I was gonna say that, but it was in Deggis' Wiki quote, so i didn't bother

Ok, i've just seen a Christmas themed advert on the TV, an Argos advert......... It's the bl***y 30th!, of October!, OMG! :nut:

You can get an 11 slot server for pocket change over at 500Servers
Thats nearly free, and you wouldn't feel guilty afterwards

Well, that settles it, i picked the correct word from those definitions

Yeah, please tell me someone was recording that race

Seriously though, best wishes for your recovery, hope to see you back on the 'virtual' track soon!

Mad PS skillzz Celv!!

Well, it's Kelv (in) , and how could you tell it's been PS'd?

I bought a Load cell kit from Niels last year when he was selling them, i've modified my G25 pedals with it now and hung them upside down, it's pretty smart

Compared to other wheels, the G25 has hardly any resistance, you can counter steer slides that you just couldn't with other wheels, it's so free and smooth. I had the DFP before this, it was like trying to steer whislt sumbmerged in a big bucket of thick gooey stuff , in comparison the G25 is like it should be, steering in free air.

I have to admit, before i got one i thought it was all just hype created by the fact it came with a clutch and shifter, but i'd say it's worth the cash for the wheel alone.

It wasn't nice to read that column to be honest, but, the man speaketh the truth

Yes, it works as a stand alone unit.

Yes, thats me



****** Obviously this is just a paint.net prat around. But if anyone is at all offended by me defacing Uncle Sam here, then shout at me, and i'll remove it right away. I hope everyone can see the funny side though ******

Why are n00bs (no disrespect meant mr Funke ) attracted to the BF1 so much? Last night whilst practicing with Dan, this guy who started in the grid slot behind me had 3 attempts to take T1 behind/with me, each time just ploughed on straight into the back of me. THREE times, in a row, how did he not learn to not do that after the first two times??

Quote from Ilpav :

What's the point of having a choice of putting passengers in your car? I know maybe because it can give some people a handicap, and makes it more realistic, but I don't get why the devs waste time on that? I know they are finished with it, but when they were making that option, they could have made a whole new car.

Your argument is that it took the devs extra time to put the passengers in the sim, and that time could have been used elsewhere.
Fair enough, but now the passengers are there, you want them to spend more time getting rid of them

Quote from DarkTimes :

You might want to take a look at LFSPoints V2.3, as it will now automatically create web pages from the XML data. There is a new file in the base directory called 'LFSPoints.xsl', which contains all the style information for the page.

Just edit this file to how you want the page to appear, then when you export a championship as HTML it will do an XSL Transform on the XSL file and the normal XML output, and export a HTML web page.

It seems to work pretty well.

You sir, are an absolute legend!
Thankyou VERY much!

EDIT: Just checked it out, it's great!. And with the .xsl, is as customisable as one could ask for!

Whats going on there? the shifter is on the wrong side!?

Hell, if 8000 euro's buys me a race for a season, i'm there!

Quote from Hollywood :

I'm not sure how portable that is between browsers; I know that IE has what is referred to as a XML Data island, but as NAI points out its probably better to use an XSL stylesheets to transform the data you want.

A couple of quick ways of doing XSL is to allow the browser to do it, i.e.

You can use the XSLT document function e.g. document('file.xml')
to load XML resources. Note that in the browser with normal security settings the same origin policy applies meaning you can load XML data only from the server the original document comes from.

Or visa versa and insert a stylesheet into the XML document as such as...

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="print.xsl"?>

where "print.xsl" is name of your XSL stylesheet.

http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/ is a decent starting point on using XSL stylesheets.

Ok thanks, i'll take a look at that

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

Aren't you supposed to use an XSLT doc to convert from XML to XHTML etc., instead of doing it from the HTML doc?

Well, that code it basically an exact copy of a working example from the net, just with file names changed, and the data to be retrieved changed.
So, i dont know, this is why i need help
