...I dont have any problems with any other games. I am cable to loop 3dmark for an infinate ammount of time without any issues. LFS is the only game that does this. My CPU and video card are not running too hot, both are well within max temp boundries.

I am also have a an issue like this. I load up LFS, single player game, any car, any track and sometimes I can play for an ~hour or so without any problems, other times it acts up right away. When the game locks up the sound loops and the game is unresponsive to anything. after about 30-60 seconds the game unlocks and works fine for a little while then does the same thing, rinse and repeat...I have yet to have the new patch completely crash...just this issue. Only thing i dont get is the strange artifacting...

My computer specs are...
cpu, Athlon64 3200+
ram, 2GB
video, 7800GT
hd, 80GB x2 RAID0
sound, Turle Beach Santa Cruz

ingame graphic settings are 1680x1050x32, 4xFSAA and 16xAF...this is the only game that has this issue...its a funny one...no worries though, I sure do love LFS

Yes, nascar has changed a lot over the years...I agree with jtr99 on many of his points....

If nascar was still 'stock cars' it would be boring as hell...who wants to watch a bunch of front wheel drive v6 monte carlo's, taurus and intrepids drive at their amazing top speed? I know I dont....of course the sport is going to change....things change....the point ladder can change the way the cup is won can change...but the racing will still be racing....the cars will still sound like mean v8's as they whip around the track...there are many things that wont....i disagree with many of the things that they are doing with the sport but that doesnt mean I am going to stop watching it....i love the sound, excitement (even though a lot of you dont get that part) and the fanbase...its amazing...

Quote :I find it interesting that fans of European-style road tracks often seem to hate ovals, but they also moan about modern changes to the road tracks they love: long, high-speed corners like Curva Grande at Monza being de-fanged by slow chicanes and first-gear hairpins.If you think that fast sweeping curves are the greatest spectacle in motor-racing, well, then, why not just join two of them together -- hey presto, an oval.

I dont think anyone could of said that better...

I'm not a troll....I used to post on the rscnet forums quite often...I am sorry I didn't respond right away...This thread wasn't intended to be about nascar, its just thats what everyone seems to put down...and it seems like every post that has 1 comment about nascar is trailed by a bunch of bull about how americans are rednecks and how we suck...mrodgers is one of the few people who understands the reason of this thread....
stereotypes and stuff...

I ghost these forums quite often...never really bother to post much...

After reading a few threads about different topics I have noticed that the "NASCAR is stupid" topic comes up a lot. My opinion about this topic may be bias because I am a NASCAR fan, but who cares. It really cooks my noodle (i am being polite about this) when people say "NASCAR IS FOR DUMB AMERICAN REDNECKS WHO WEAR GUNS, DRINK WHISKEY,LIVE IN TEXAS AND TURNING LEFT IS STUPID"...anyone who thinks that gets a big "**** YOU"...everyone on these forums shares one thing in common, the passion of racing (or something along the lines of that)...racing...thats a thing with wheels that competes against other things on wheels...who cares how its done, or what its done in...racing is racing...if you dont like it...then shut up and leave your lame opinion to yourself...every form of racing takes some kind of skill...even drag racing, anyone who thinks it doesnt can go down to their local strip and see how many consistant runs they can make...its not easy...bracket racing takes some skill...it just pisses me off that everyone stereotypes us as a bunch of hicks....hell i can do the same...all french people wear doofy hats, walk around with big loaves of bread, have little mustaches, and sleep all the time...all germans walk around in their leiderhozen, drink lots of beer and yodel or something...all british have messed up teeth, drink tea everyday at 2pm and smoke big sherlock holmes pipes....see, its dumb...there's no point...it pisses me off...just because we have a few stupid people doesnt mean you dont have a few nutcases in your countries either...

I am sorry if i pissed anyone off...this is just MY opinion and thats that....i didnt mean to offend anyone or anything of that type of thing...

I have the DFP, I love(ed) it when it works/worked. For 3 months it worked fine, I had no problems with it what so ever, I played LFS everyday via LAN w/ my friends. After thoes 3 months...actually after GT4 came out I was playing it on my PS2 and I noticed my car was slow as hell. During the replay I saw my brake lights were constantly on. I hooked it up to my PC and loaded LFS...and noticed that the brake pedal was out of wack. It was either on a little, or it would spike to be full on...This slowly got worse the the point where nothing was playable. Finally I cleaned the pot and it worked fine for a week, then the gas pedal started to do the same thing. CLeaned them again, fine for a couple days, same thing again. I gave up on it for a while. Last week i decided to battle with it again, i pluged it in and it didnt do its normal self calibration thingy. the wheel doesnt get any power now, that is a totally different issue than the pedals but it still sucks. I loved the wheel, I just wish it didnt break. LFS with a mouse sucks. When actlabs releases the new pedals I will probably go out and buy another DFP and use the actlabs pedals. untill then, no LFS for me
