technically, i also have 4, but i'm only using 2, and only one for LFS.

2x 19" wide screen LCDs
1 in use on mac
1 in use on pc

2x CRTs
1 17" blurry screen.
1 19" huge, and takes up too much room

i should sell those things.

nope. not false advertising. when vista is release, the drivers for it will be released, and the wheel will work without any futzing.

and the profiler software is a completely seperate product from the g25, and has of yet made not claims to be vista compatible. the profiler software is a generic product that works with all (most?) of logitech's wheels.

vista has a number of significant changes in how it operates and allows software to run in it, so it shouldn't be any surprise that not all software written for previous versions of windows will be fully functional, or even run at all.

its basically a turbo 911 with a vw bus chassis.

i think that's the solution that he's using now...an iframed php script that is hosted on a 3rd party server.

there is a pretty significant issue that no one has touched on...you are doing all of these tests on a decent modern computer, decent video card, and a decent amount of ram, all by today's standards.

BUT...in 1998 the top of the line computers topped out at ~500mhz, the video cards to have were the TNT or the voodoo2 (tnt2 and voodoo3 were release in 99), and 256 was an ungodly amount of ram that only people with more money than sense had.

I would certainly hope that a computer 7 years newer can achieve the results that it does in GPL, and "struggle" through the newer games. they have more polygons, larger textures, perform more physics calculations, and do video effects and resolutions barely dreamed about in 1998.

GPL run on a 1998 equivalent of your computer wouldn't fair nearly as well as it does in your tests. hell, i'd wager (not a lot) that it would actually perform worse than the "modern" sims did on your computer.

haven't used it, but here is another alternative to OO (linked above)

ah, ok. good to know, thanks.

I searched but didn't find anything (maybe my search string sucked), but anyways...how does one pit on so3 (south city sprint 2)?

its obvious where the pit area is, but when you pull in there, i can't figure out where/how to stop to be able to pit.

Isn't that Jeep Wrangler a full featured 4x4? And not just all show? I can't think why she (I'm guessing here, but quite sure i'm correct ...) didn't engage 4wd and low gears....

best part is the woman in the fwd car that just floors, spinning her tires and blows her engine. classic.

Quote from JTbo :

That machine should be awarded as 'Darwin's pole selector' or something. that last car was most stupid, clearly accelerates HARD and baby on back seat, those kind of people should not be allowed to make babies in first place

i like how the woman gets out, grabs the kid and runs off leaving the idiot driver to stay and deal with it.

Quote from juurme :

Well i have even worse FPS!!Usually i got 30 its like normal...While twin its 20 and when near to other cars 3 or more then fps is 5-10.
Do my pc fills the game requirements?
RAM: 191 (Must be 256 but i dont know why 181)
Processor: Intel clereon CPU 2.53Ghz
Graphics card:VIA/S3G UniChrome PRO Igp
Hard disk : 40 GB of 20 Usage

I know its little stone age computer but...Do i have any chance to get lfs running of FPS around 40-50 while near to 5 cars.Im not enought good to buy S2 license and race with around 20 ppl.

its your video card that's killing you. your cpu is good enough to get you into the 40-50 range.

when i first got my dad into LFS, he was playing on a very similarly speced computer, and was getting almost exactly the same FPS as you are listing.

your video card is an on board video card (igp = integrated graphics processor) and 90% of those are absolutely horrible at 3d applications. they also use shared memory, which is why your 256mb of ram is reported as 181 -191...the video card is leeching 65-75mb of memory from your system.

you don't need an expensive video card either. my dad got a 9600pro for $50us and gets in the 40-60 range, with a low of ~30fps on race start.

i only asked because of the title of the video

is that english?

so...does this mean that you can only get the game for free for this weekend, or does it mean that it is a trial that will only run for this weekend?

the site isn't very clear about that.

i believe the purpose of the firetruck was to block the road to keep any more fools from trying for a bit.

yeah, that's what i do, but at the end, i usually have to buy a shite ton of combo towers and upgrade them just to scrape by.

WooHoo! i beat it! still only 7394 points, but i beat it! only lost 4 lives too.

bastid. i can't make it past level 37.

ok, made it to level 39, but my score was only ~1/2 yours.

Quote from Bean0 :

I've read that the 8GB version is ~$600 with a 2 year Cingular contract, 4GB version about half that.

It only has a 2MP camera, and no 3G though.

game has been removed from server because of bandwidth usage. i didn't get to play it

Quote from farcar :

Damn, that's unlucky, although 20mph over the limit is quite a lot.
BTW I didn't think cops in The States were allowed to breath test people unless they failed a sobriety test. Is this not the case?

20mph over isn't that much for this stretch of highway. typical speeds are 80-90mph, with 100+mph speeds very typical. and the cops can breath test people if they have probable cause.

what was the probable cause in my situation? they claimed that i smelled like alcohol and that my car smelled like alcohol. a completely meritless claim that they can make whenever they feel like it and it covers their ass, and is impossible to dispute.

but i've never been in my car after drinking, never given a ride to any drunk people with my car, and never had any alcohol bottles that have even been opened in my car.

basically, my opinion is they saw a young looking person (on any given day, i look 5-10 years younger than my age) in a sports car, and decided i would be a great target.

yeah, i was speeding, but i was going a bit slower than most of the other traffic.

Quote from farcar :

Been driving for 10 years and never been booked for anything. I was pulled over for a breath test about 5 years ago. Just always make sure there's one car nearby going faster and you'll never get pulled over. In most citiesm I'm sure it's not hard.

that doesn't always work...i got my first ticket ~1 year ago after driving for 13 years with no tickets.

i got a ticket for doing 75mph (120km/h) in a 55mph (88km/h), and i was being passed on both sides by faster cars. cop said some bullshit about how he thought i was going to kick it up to 85mph(137km/h) or 90mph(145km/h)...don't know what gave him that idea, i had my cruise control on for over a mile. he then gave me a breathalizer (which read 0.00). ticket ended up being $200us (155euro) with fine and court fees.
