Quote from Stone in Focus :

Is there one?

Buying S1 or S2 will do the trick (or isn't that what you mean by more cars?)

Quote from XenoWolf :

I'm having a problem where I simply can't gain any points because there is never enough people on the server...

I finally, after much aggrivation won my first UF1 race the other day (not a big fan of the UF1..), and with only a handful of people on I gained a whopping 2%. I got my Bronze back when it was still XFG/XRG and there were plenty of people on. Now everyone is on Silver/Gold, and I'm stuck driving a car I hate (very) slowly clawing my way to Silver. Bleh.

I never have that kind of problems, but i think most racers are Europeans and are a sleep when you want to race. It seems a lot of silver racers still drive the first server (sometimes i even see STCC racers on it).

Quote from Chaos :

Pls guys do something about this... If a fast racer with little free time for LFS gets into STCC there is no motivation for him... I tried today... Got on STCC1a server, finished 2nd on the first race (this was a nice race btw, enjoyed it ) but from there on it was just boring... for fast guys like me, it's no problem after a few "learning" laps to do laps almost 1s faster than the rest of the field (meeting someone equally fast is just a big luck)... So when I want to have nice races, i would have to start from the end of the field, because hotlapping from 1st on the grid to the finish is no fun... and how else should i get points to advance to better licenses than by driving fast / winning? With just a few hours of LFS per week, this would be a very long boring run

Don't you get there very fast when you are first every race?

This thread is useless without pics (never seen the banana )

Watched the first one and it's great. You made it a very interesting and entertaining video.

I'm now downloading them all

Quote from Boris Lozac :

I thought about this a bit more, and i see that this is not possible unfortunatelly..
Scawen said that graphics changes affects the game incompatibly, so they affect LFS world and replays, etc... so if you switched to "old graphics", you simply couldn't play with the "new graphics" people, as it wouldn't be compatible..

But as Dennisjr13 said, the changes probably will not be that big, maybe better interiors and more detailed car models, so our current systems should handle that i suppose..

In other games you can adjust resolution, details, shadows, viewing distance when your graficscard can't do the job. You can allready change resolution, don't know about the other things but if graphics get fancy i think it's not more then normal you can make them worse to match your pc

For me it still works fine at an XP 2000+, with 750 memory and a Radeon 9500 (@9700)

Quote from niffer022 :

LOL well i said that as i thought it be better than XP... iv got 98 if you prefer that LOL


im using that realVNC at the mo, a friend off msn guided me through it... ill have a play tomorrow


thanks though mate

In my opinion 98 is better then ME. But i think your hardware will do fine with Windows 2000 or XP too. You've got enough ram and 700 mhz isn't that slow.

Quote from Davo :

Me and 98 are bad choices because they're very insecure and if you're running a server can become a target. 2k isn't very up to date, in fact I'm not sure that MS suppport it any more, but atleast it's more secure.

You're right about Me and 98 but a lot of company servers still run on Windows 2000. With all service packs it is up to date.

Quote from 11SuLLy11 :

very good question!!i have same problem !

I had that problem too. You have to separate the pedals in Windows or the application that goes with your wheel too

Quote from deggis :

I'm surprisied there's still no full scale war here in this thread... in the general discussion area there was some time a thread, original subject was something regarding LFS vs. rFactor. Then it turn out to oval vs. European racing and after couple of days it was 20 pages long USA vs. Europe war thread.

I'm surprised there is only one American replying. I'm interested in their point of view. I allready know a lot of other people think bush is a morron.

Quote from duke_toaster :

WTF ... Points on your licence for parking fines. Jesus, in the UK they persecute motorists with their stupidly low red flag act style speed limits but they haven't come up with that one yet.

I thought this topic was about tickets and not only speeding tickets. Maybe i was wrong there but also speeding tickets were a personal record in 2006

I don't have a pointliccence (i don't think that's the correct word, but i hope you know what i mean ) New drivers get one nowadays for the first years of their drivingcarreer. I can only lose my licence when i have to get to the what we call "Officier van Justitie" (that is in courth). You can get there by driving more then 50 km over the speedinglimit or by being drunk in your car. I hope i never get there

New drivers get points on their licence for speeding, but this is something wich we are only doing for the last couple of years. I never got such a licence. I've got the good old licence which will last till i'm 70 years old, and even then i can still drive but have to be tested every five years.

Most of the time i only get two tickets a year, but 2006 was a record. Six for speeding, one for not having a seatbelt and one for parking at a invalid parkingspace (wich i did not do, I have got a letter now saying they believe it wasn't me but i still haven't got the money of the ticket back).

And also one at my frontdoor for not having a parkinglicence (is that "parkeervergunning" in english?). I had one but i forgot to get a new one when 1 year had past.

Animalls eat the same thing every day and it doesn't seem to harm then. Never heard an animall about his two pieces of fruit or about and never think of the different types of foodgroups

Quote from TiJay :

Don't quite follow what you're saying but if you're agreeing with me then

I'll just rephrase what I said for clarity: The only fun new cars are those over £20,000 or those with an ST/GTI badge. All other new cars suck.

Well, in fact i don't agree. The 1.0 Fiesta from '89 was no fun and not sporty. I don't say it sucked, but i also won't say a Alto from '06 sucks. It are both good cars for what their worth. Faster Fiesta's were fun, the faster fiesta of today is called ST so i mean you should not exclude that.

Quote from TiJay :

Agreed. Compared to cars pre-2002, modern family/small cars are big, boring and no fun.

Examples:

Fiesta Mk5 pre 03- light, sporty, fun.
Fiesta Mk6 03 onwards- ugly, slow, large

106, Clio Mk1, Saxo- light, nippy, fun
107/1007/206, Clio Mk2/3- ugly, slow, large

Wake me up when new cars sub-£20,000 or without a GTI/ST badge get fun gain.

Why are you excluding ST cars like Fiesta ST? That way you can always be rigth. The Fiesta ST is the new fun car.

The same with the other models.

You can download complete scripts from www.hotscripts.com (also upload/download scripts).

Maybe with a H shifter it's handy (don't have one), but should'nt people who are talking about starting in second gear change their gear ratios?

You arent describing force feedback? I have an other wheel but it seems to me this behauviour is normal.
