Woah that's a lot of input for my small brain

But one thing I didn't find out is this:

How do you setup the "new" diff option?

Let's say I've set the power side on 55% and the coast side on 75% (on an XRT).
Now I've read that a good range for preload is 400-600nm but there must be some regulas that you can rely on? (this range works fine but it's the fine-tuning that is bothering me)

Great, V6 solved the V5 crash for me.

I couldn't run LFS V5. As soon as I try to enter a replay or to enter a track LFS hangs.
I get no error message, it just freezes. Seems to me that Windows is still running, but I can't alt-tab back to the desktop or enter the task manager. I didn't try it in windowed mode yet.

Specs:
Intel Core 2 DUO E6600
1024 RAM (Kingston)
Ati Radeon 1650 Pro (driver version:8.33.0.0)
PATA Maxtor HD 120 GB
OnBoard Sound
OS: Win XP Pro

P.S.: I'm gonna try later today if I can run it on my machine (this is actually my girlfriend's machine) which is a single core AMD.

P.P.S.: Works fine on my machine
AMD Athlon 64 3800+
1024 RAM
NVIDIA 7600 GT (Driver version: 6.14.10.9371)
PATA Maxtor 160GB + PATA MAXTOR 20GB) (Driver Version: 5.10.2600.446 NVIDIA NForce3)

Doesn't Sony Entertainment have the exclusive rights to the Nordschleife until end 2007?

Quote from N I K I :

Oh man, I tought Jakg is much older, like 35 or so.... (dunno why, I just had that felling )

Actually that was also my feeling

I'm 25, turning 26 at the end of next month.

Quote from f1r3b4ll :

It's just not LFS's time yet but bask in the glory when LFS's time does come because you'll all have been on the bandwagon before it went mainstream

Ever thought that LFS may never hit it big? Maybe it's too hardcore to attract a lot of poeple (in commercial sense).

I mean I showed LFS to a lot of friends and also let them drive. Most of them were amazed of the car feeling. But they would never buy it because it's a simulator where you actually have to "work" to become better. Not like NFS or TDU where you actually can jump in for a race or two when it pleases you and where you can have fun right away.
For most poeple it's frustrating if they don't get a success experience (don't know if you say it so in english) right away.

Sorry to "hijack" this thread, didn't want to open a new one for this.

I just wanted to ask/see if any Team was interested in me.
Who's me?

Me is LRB_Aly (as you probably already guessed )

Races won: 244
Second: 193

Finished: 1053

Fromer member of ITEK Racing.

Actually active in: STCC only

I would like to see real life tracks. It's actually the only reason I also have GTR2 and Race installed. I downloaded the Nordschleife for GTR2 and this is really challenging. Spa-Francorchamps is also a nice track. Well I don't like these tracks (actually Nordschleife is none of my fav's but it's challenging nethertheless) because they're real-life tracks, but I likle them because of their layout (Same goes for Monaco, Spielberg, Old Hockenheim, Adelaide, Melbourne etc...).

I also like the LFS tracks, there are nice combo's.

Nice option, I like it

U should be compatible to V. But I don't know where to get it.

For the sound problems> I also seem to have this crackling since Patch V, sometimes. It also seems that there is a fps drop when it happens.

My system

Athlon 64 3800+ (AM2 Socket)
1 GB RAM
Leadtek NVIDIA 7600 TDH GT
Soundblaster X-FI Elite Pro

I've heard that the SB Audigys had sound problem like this but never heard it for the X-Fi's.

P.S. It happens mainly when there are many racers connected.

Quote from mr_x :

EDIT: I know I've said this somewhere here before, but DON'T take the demo as the final thing, I know people say it's the same but I don't think it is at all. The car physics are definately different between demo and full release... I could control the BMW easily on the demo, I can't at all on full release.

Well I purchased Race some days ago (and GTR2) to complete my racing games collection. I've tried it out and I can control the BMW's (also the '87) just easily. And I also have this strange feeling that the FF is controling the car or perhaps to define it the other way around: I definatly have the feeling that something else is driving the car and that i'm just a passenger (all helps off).

Hi fellow LFS Racers,
I've got a transfer market suggestion:
In short terms, I mean a place (Forum thread) or website in the LFS system where you can register as driver/team that is searching a driver/team. Would be easier then making a new thread in the Teams section like *searching new team* or Team ***** is recruiting*.
Example: You register yourself as driver that is searching a team. A team recruiter think that you're worth it, and he can write you a message that is send to you either by the message system over LFSworld or here in the forum. BTW I think it would be nice to put both message systems together (messages sent over LFSworld shown also in the forum system and vice-versa).

What do you think?

Quote from squidhead :

I just tried it...gives a lot of car feeling (hell, I could even drive a Formula V8 agressively - I felt how it went....)
and now there is only one statement for me - I'll Shit a crankshaft if that's not one of the best mods for the game!

Yeah that´s exactly what also happened to me the first time. I´ve tried it on the Formula XR and what happened? First of all I´ve broke my PB on Bl1 by 1 s and second thing was that I burnt out the tyres by being too aggressive

Quote from tristancliffe :

Ultimately, of course it is enjoyment. But the more realism I get, up to a point where silliness occurs (e.g. driver health, or having to repair tyre valves, or having to build/mod the car in the first place), the more enjoyment I will derive.

If it was all about pure 'enjoyment' we'd all be playing something shit like Gran Turismo Online and having huge forgiving slip curves everywhere. The realism, and the restrictions that that brings, is what makes it so much fun.

For me at least.

All said, I feel the same

Quote from ORION :

It also happens when you have too many cars on the screen at once. I guess the problem is known to everyone though

As far as I remember LFS is only able to draw the shadows of 8 cars atm. This would be the 8 nearest cars as far as I remember. Some problem that is surely gonna be solved someday.

OK i should also state what hardware I´m using right now. I moved from a red Momo to the DFP, so the 900 degrees are nothing new to me right now. So I expect the biggest change to be the quality and the H-pattern gear shifter (of course also the clutch pedal).

Ok I´ve got a question, I flew over the whole thread, reading some posts but 44 pages are just too much.

So here´s the question: I´m thinking to buy a G25, but I´m not certain if I shall wait or if I should buy right now. So I´d like to have the opinion of G25 owners, is it good as it is now or are there still any bugs?

I use my own sets for leagues. But if I try a new combo on a public server I usually take a set from the inferno hp and then I customize it (sometimes to a degree where it has nothing left in common with the original).

Ehm how many active drivers is Team XFR counting right now? On the hp it looks like you're only 3 left, is that right?

A good guide for setups is Bob Smith's Advanced Setup Guide which can be found here http://www.thefloatingwidget.net/ . It should give you good insides of how to setup a car.

I´m using 1280*960 Pixels, 32bit colors, frames are over 70-80 constantly. Only time where I´ve had troubles was when I used the smoke mode (from Kegetys?) when a lot of cars went in the dirt.

I think this starts to become off topic, may be we should discuss this in the tech subsection.

Ati Radeon 9800 Pro, cheap (today) but powerfull. I still use it, although it´s starting to get old. But for LFS it´s enough to run it with full Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering.

No I don´t use high-res sky pack, but I use the lightning/shine textures (to make the cars more shiny).

A soon as it happens again I´m gonna post a report what I´ve done before ot happened. Though it doesn´t happen very often.
