As anyone having bought the S2 licence knows: LFS is a work in progress.

Because of the decisions made by the devs LFS is what it is today: The best racing sim I know.

The last few updates all brought more realism so expect each patch to be a step away from the arcade.

Does anyone know if "autoclutch off" will be a server option? I sure hope so!

Maybe it allready is but I could have missed it.

I'm in!

1024x768 is enough for me. I may want to take a spin in GT-legends and GTA San Andreas.

Does 512MB over 256 make much of a difference in my current setting?

That's a quick response

Ok, I know I'm talking about budget cards that are a bit out of date.

I'm currently using a GForce 6200LE 128mb and want to upgrade. I don't need anything too fancy just something better.

I'm thinking about buying a GForce 7300GT 256MB they are available for about 50 euro's.

7600GS is a bit more expensive but don't seem to differ much in specs.

Playing the latest games is not a priority to me.

My current setup:
Athlon 64 3800+
1gb ram (333mhz)
GF 6200LE 128mb PCI-E

Why not just having your standard media player in the background?

As LFS is a real sim. it is not very flattering to a street car's handling characteristics as less hard core games would be.

A more arcadish game would be commercially more interesting for a car manufacturer.

All is good!

Still love the game. CTRA single seater even spiced it up a bit recently.

Even without new patches it rocks!

Don't feel like I don't have my money's worth.

Quote from Mazz4200 :

Here's a thought..... The RGT and many other Thrustmasters have a second pair of flappy paddles for the throttle and brake......i.e perfect for those who for whatever reason can't use the pedals. So, you could get the RGT for your Dad and tell him it's ideal for him with his dodgy hip, and you can keep the G25 !

Great sugestion!

The second pair of paddles are a feature that I like. I fancy an F1-style hand-clutch!

Dfp's are hard to get in the netherlands. They are only available online and I don't trust every webshop.

I've read that the ffb from the dfp is by far not as smooth as the g25's. And I wouldn't call the g25 very smooth.

I'm currently driving with a g25 wich I have been borrowing for a year from my dad since he was up for some hip replacements. But his new hips seem to work fine so I guess he wants it back soon.

I really like the g25 but I can't be bothered with toy H-shifter. As I race single seaters most of the time 270 degrees would be enough.

I am considering a Thrustmaster RGT but haven't read many good reviews about it.

Is it that bad or just less popular?

Paint works fine for me. I do use ms photo editor to save it from bmp to jpg (a lot cleaner than saving to jpg in paint).

You mean the back of your car looking like a car stereo?

Maybe the nazi-skin has already been removed. It is more than half a year ago when I encountered it. This thread made me look it up in my skins_x folder.

I am a bit ashamed to have had it on my hard drive for so long.

I once noticed a facist running a "hitler" skin with swasticas and a portraid of the bastart on his fox. (skin name FOX_POOPOO)

Mofo's like this should have their licences revolked!

I also noticed a guy speaking in a very disrespectfull way about Molukan people.

Both these guys obviously got banned.

Never really heard of ya. Since you've made me curious I just laughed my ass off reading your previous posts!

Hell yeah! Best money I ever spent!

Thanks, that wiki-link did the trick!

Something about the rules of the 24h du mans isn't quite clear to me:

Does a car have to finish after the winner to have officially finished?

I would normally expect the cars to be classified for driven laps. I would expect the Peugeot even being 2nd if it didn't move in the last 5 minutes as the pescarolo wouldn't have made up the laps.

To pull a Peugeot: Park near the finish and wait for the winner and make it look close.

p.s. when I started this thread I didn't expect anyone to be as disrespectfull to bring fatalities into it! Good thing it was only one sick b'stard.
