My wheel was free, as it is borrowed, so it's just the cost of LFS for me:
35 / 13442 = 0.0026037791995238803749442047314388 = 0.26c per mile
I've done the same as Dajmin...oops

6/10, you need to make it a brick instead ;-)

And then the barricade
The point still stands though...and excellent vids, can't wait for the blue flag one
Instead of the ATA133 hard disk you are thinking of ordering, I would recommend getting a SATAII one, they are about the same price, and the performance boost you will gain from SATAII features (such as Native Command Queuing) will make it well worth it. Here is a 160GB one I found on ebuyer:
Western Digital WD1600JS ... ATAII/300 8MB Cache - OEM (£37.31 inc VAT)

What do you not understand about the words "locally hosted server"? You did not need to (and should not have) taken this onto public servers.
There are several things you could send the devs: 1. Instructions to reproduce what you did. 2. Replays of you performing said cheating. And 3. Your apologies for taking it onto public servers.
My 2 cents:
You were caught on several servers (with several MPRs as proof) cheating. Proofs of Concept are created in sandboxed environments. i.e. you would run your own LFS server, and test your "PoC" on that. What you did was quite the opposite. Because of that, you deserve any punishments you recieve.
Also, have you sent any replays to the Devs of this? If not, I suggest you go and apologise now.

Nice obscure one here, old Atari 800/Apple II game, Mr Robot and his Robot Factory
This was actually incredibly old when I first played it, I was 3 years old, it was 9 :P

Grrrrrrrr!!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrr!!! And GRRRRRRRRR! again!

You need to calm down. Seriously, you need to stop slinging insults at him. He can't help it if he has lag, if you had the same lag would you want people insulting YOU about it? Think about it.
As I said, I'm not accusing you of being a wrecker at all. I accept that you had lag problems on that day and I have also said I would be happy to remove the ban if you have sorted the lag out.
The admins on the STCC servers try and do the best job they can to stop wreckers, what doesn't help us in the slightest is people like you balling off about wreckers with no evidence of said wrecks. PLEASE, if you're going to accuse people, BACK YOUR CLAIMS UP
The ban issued was only a 7 day one, as I personally did not feel that the incident was malicious or intentional. I also did notice that the MPR showed some lag, and as such the ban was not in any way claiming you're a wrecker. You WERE disrupting the racing though. That is the reason I banned. If you have sorted said lag out, I would be happy to revoke the ban and allow you to race on the server again
OMG! Why did I not think of that? YOU GIT!!
I personally went from a 17" CRT to a 19" Widescreen TFT back in January, and it was a very welcome addition. The frame rate hit from the resolution change (1280x960 to 1440*900) was minimal (5 fps at most loss on a GeForce 6200 at the time) and the ability to see more at the sides is a godsend, I would recommend changing to widescreen for any LFS racer.
The particular monitor you mentioned is nice, the resolution is good as is the response time. The only problem you may encounter is the fact it only has an analogue input. If you have an analogue output on your graphics card all is well and good, if not a DVI>VGA adapter will be needed to connect it. I personally find no massive difference between the quality of digital and analogue output, so that is not a problem at all

For the Pagans: Have a good Yuletide!
For the Jews: Happy Hanukkah!
For the Christians/Economists: Merry Christmas!
For the LFS Racers: Happy Patch V!
For everyone else: Happy Holidays!

Hehe...well said! At least the FX5200 doesn't have to rely on system RAM being readily available. TurboCache has, in EVERY application I have seen it in, been a LOT slower than a non-TurboCache card. This coupled with the fact the 6200 is a useless card anyway doesn't make for much of an upgrade.
Definitely winecfg, no matter what distro WINE is installed to. I would stick with Cedega though, because although WINE has made a lot of progress when it comes to games, Cedega is still more compatible with a lot of games, including LFS IIRC
I couldn't ever get it working in plain WINE, chucked out an error about not being able to write to the data folder, even though it could, it works in Cedega, a non-free implementation of WINE though, and that's what I always used it on when I did.
Did you not read what I said in my post, about Linux interpreting 32 bit as 24 bit + the alpha channel (which it actually is)? Read the full thread before commenting, his card supports 32 bit
A few things here,
First off, the 24/32 bit issue is not actually a problem, the extra 8 bits in Windows is the Alpha channel, which Linux automatically uses if available in 24 bit mode. Stick with 24 bit, it's the same as 32 in Linux terms.
The problem with lower frame rates is an issue in Wine/Cedega. As with all emulators and compatibility layers there are speed issues. Especially in DirectX layers that use OpenGL as a renderer, if LFS was OpenGL then it would be much quicker (OpenGL is the 3d renderer used in ALL Linux distros). This is coupled with the fact that in my experience, nvidia's drivers in Linux are slower than they are in Windows. Both of these add up to make a significant overhead on the graphics card.
The 75% CPU issue is one with LFS. It refreshes the physics at 100Hz, no matter what the frame rate on the display. If the CPU is not fully stressed at 100Hz physics updates then that will cause the CPU to be less than 100% utilised.
The illumination issue is one in Cedega also. This is caused by an over-expansion of the shadows, and can easily be solved by turning them off. It is an annoyance though.
The sound issue is unknown to me, I've never actually had that issue myself. All I can suggest is disabling music, IMO it's not needed (and quite frankly crap) and takes away from racing.
Hope this helps a bit, it's about my limit as far as Linux + LFS goes, but I'm sure others know more

Chuck Norris invented it. He couldn't be bothered saying "Scawen, Victor, Eric" so he roundhouse kicked their names and compressed them
