I would also like to wish ScaGeViEr and the LFS community the Maddest Christmas ever and the best wishes for the New (Mad) Year.

We Czechs also celebrate our christmas on the 24th and we open presents after dinner. We've kept the tradition going even though I live in the UK now.

So take it easy all of you and enjoy the holidays, ohh and remember dont drink and drive or go too Mad!

see you on track!

Madman!

Quote from Scawen :

Patch V is available!

You can get it from our website or just use the auto-updater in your test version!

Thank you for all your help. I will now have a holiday and I will celebrate patch V with some champagne this evening!

Drink Drink Drink! You deserve to have a few bottles for all that hard work.

Quote from CHR20000 :

LET teh G00D T!M3S R0LL

DAMN RIGHT!

cheers Scawen for the christmas pressie, it came early but its great! only pressie i will be getting too this christmas

Firstly Scawen thanks for the update, all of the sounds have greatly immroved especially if you compare it with u33. Actualy it has been a massive improvement and the stage we are at now is very good.

On the FXO front i do hear some strange things happening after about 7000rpm like others have just mentioned but apart from that all cars sound good.

Mrt5 has really changed a lot and the gear whine on that is something to get use to.

overall though.. top work!

now enjoy your Christmas!

Mad

Hello, u36 i thought improved the majority of cars. It just goes to show how everyone has different opinions of whats sounds correct. At this rate Scawen will be adjusting the sounds all the time and someone will always find something wrong with them.

I was wondering though whether anyone knew where i could get hold of u30,u31,u32,u33,u34,u35 test patches? I would like to do more comparing and a few tests for my own pleasure.

If anyone has links could you please pm me.. cheers

Nice work Scawen

@axus

I have just done some laps in the lx6 as i was practising for the LXCC race on saturday. Have been playing for about an hour and a half but I just cant find the taste for these sounds as they are at this moment. I do like all of the extra detail that Scawen has implemented into the sounds as it does add immersion but the roariness of the engines just isnt there at the moment.

To me it still feels like i am playing lfs and having the speakers give out the sound in the next room. It doesnt feel like the sound is coming from the engine that i am riding with.

I do agree that since u33 there has been a massive improvement with the sounds and they sound a lot better and I am sure that with every patch they will probably improve but I am not sure I will download the V patch.

@Filur: what you have done there with the distorsion is actually quite good, sounds a lot better.

Watch this video of a v8 caterham

its a v8 but the lx6 should sound as roary

Keep up the good work though Scawen, its definitevly evolving.

And Merry Christmas to you!

mad


EDIT: I have just done some laps around WeshillReversed in the BF1 and found that I get a large ammounts of sound distortion when i go under the bridges. It only happens with the BF1 as i have tested it with other cars.

My system volume is at 50%

I tested it with the car volume in lfs, it isnt as bad when set to 5 but anything from 6.5-10 I get large ammounts of distortion when passing under the bridges in the BF1. I normally have the car volume set to 7 and everything else at 5.

Anyone esle find the same problem?

HAHA! Jakg is the second one... thats his celebration after he overtook Tristan in the sadness ratings

Well as we celebrate xmas on the 24th the race does get a bit close but looking at the majority of people who can race I shall add my self to the list too...

23rd Saturday is Ok for me...

Quote from Leifde :

Bad race for me. At the start I got pushed onto the grass by Petr (Madman_CZ) and it all went downhill from there. I'll practice for the next one.

Yeah MY BAD.... i just didnt see you. My pc was struggeling for fps at the start + Bob was talking to me + i was trying to avoid the guy on the left so accept my apologies for that shunt.

Apart from that it wasnt too bad of a race for me, during the boring unentertaining periods Bob kept me distracted.

4th

hehe..

the previous pic of the top gear lego crew is missing richards teeth whitening kit...

Hi guys,

first i wanna apologise for me missing the last two races, other commitments have prevented me from having the time to participate in those races.

I should however be racing this saturday, Bob will not but he has found another driver to take his place. Instead what Bob will be doing is watching me race :scared: and then we will head for the pubs

I would like to see Saw 3... heard it was quite good..

mad

Quote from S0ul :

Yeah,he was the coolest guy in F1! But of course he still exists,you could see him race in DTM if thats broadcastet in Britain.

Coolest? My memory of him on one knee weeping behind the bushes is still as fresh as ever...

Was a nice driver with a good personality though...

Happy Birthday Scawen! Celebrate well, drink, eat, shout, dance, and have an awesome time. Most importantly dont work on this day patch can wait one more day

mad

I think they just screwed the sign up.. there were meant to be 2 s's the one on the right is an s and the other one is just screwed up

but i am going with the Knight rider answer above

Quote from axus :

Yup, because of reserve drivers etc. I have to know who to send passes to. Not like it takes much time anyway.

heh.. nope. now that Bob is an admin has has to live on the forums

Heh good advice but have to meet some one first before i worry about that stuff...

I am sure Bob is in the same boat, unless hes met someone and isn't telling


mad

there will be no presents for me this xmas so anything from the devs would be greatly appreciated...

AHA... this is weird.. i just thought i would have a browse to see what games I could find for the zx spectrum and to see if i could find the game I mentioned above.... in a list of 6000 zx games i happened to click the right category and the right game by accident....

its was this

I had no clue as to what it could be called, not even a hint... quite strange that i happened to click the right game lol .....

ermm hehe this brings back some memories...

Well the first time i have ever set my eyes on a computer was the ZX Spectrum, my dad still has it in a working order with loads of tapes too..

There was a game where you would drive around a city GTA style, it had pedestrians, other cars, traffic lights and so on.. cant exactly remember what i had to do but i remember there was pink cars which you would have to chase... I was about 7-8 when i first set my eyes on this car game.... ok so it wasnt a racing game but it still had cars in it and you could go fast.. maybe some one here will remember the name of it. Outrun was another game that I have played....

After that we got our own pc in 1995 and my brother got need for speed 1.. omg i was so addicted to watching my brother play it.... was just so realistic back then, only thing he never let me play it

mad

heh some interestring lists there,

I currently own:

Live for Speed
Need for Speed 3 Hot Pursuit ....still fun!
GTR though i havent touched it since March
Grand Prix Legends
Nascar 2003 Papyrus
MERCEDES BENZ TRUCK RACING IT OWNS!
F1 99-02
Toca 2
Richard Burns Rally
4x4 Screamer Rally.... ahh still fun with the wheel and FFB

I owned:

Destruction Derby 2
Grand Turismo 1 and 2
Formula 1 96, 97, 98, 99, on the psx
Toca World Touring Cars ....omg what a pile of crap that was!!!!!
Race Driver 1 ....ok so it was crap but it got me into DTM
Grand Prix 4 by Geoff Crammond... stunning replays!

My fav games:

1. Live for Speed
2. Mercedes Benz Truck Racing
3. Toca 2
4. Richard Burns Rally
5. Nascar 2003 .. not much of an ovaler but nascar 03 was quite realistic..

Games that I have tried but thought they were rubbish:

Netkar Pro... demo wasnt an exactly ideal test but still i didnt like it
rFactor .... its not too bad but is too similar to f1 99-02 and gtr
Race Driver 2, 3
RACE...
GTR2

btw to those who havent yet tried Grand Prix Legends, download the GPL 2004 demo, it has all of the updates and is basically the full game, you can add more tracks to it too and there are thousands!!!!

>>>>Here is a link <<<<

I did also own a bike sim superbikes 2000 but that was rubbish!
