Quote from Shotglass :hm pretty far west about 10-20° above the horizon?

Pretty much, not very high in the sky. I've just signed up and posted on an astronomy forum about this, see what the experts think of it.

Edit:

The internet wizards say its Venus! Oh well, goodbye doomsday.

Quote from anbiddulph :can you get a pic of the whole night sky? (cloudy here =[)

Can't see any other stars - even though its totally clear the street lights just blank everything out apart from this.

Wasn't really pulsing or flickering I don't think, hope I've taken a picture of something cool like a supernova! (about 0% chance)

Can anyone else see this really bright star? Its almost too bright to be a star looking at it through binoculars makes it look like its got a tail or something.

Its pretty much exactly south west from where I was stood in the garden, just took some pictures uploading now.

EDIT:

Picture up:
Each shot was taken at a different aperture using shutter lock up timer and a tripod (basically the sharpest way). I had to focus by hand but I think they were about the best I could get.

If you try to learn how to drive with 270 degree lock and left foot braking then you'll be much faster than you are now.

I was looking at the Senn PC350's before i got the Medusa, here's a review:

http://www.trustedreviews.com/ ... 350-PRO-Gaming-Headset/p1

They're very good apparently, if you dont mind looking like a pilot.

Retail about £80 at most online shops.

I used to use the Speedlink Medusa 5.1's and they're a really great headset but its a right annoyance to set them up properly.

I got some Steelseries Siberia's for Christmas and have been using those, the sound quality is very good but in game its quite hard to tell the difference between infront and behind, so turning sideways so its left/right is usually in order when i'm listening for the bomb ticking.

Quote from GrIp DrIvEr :No. Obama isn't just going to be the first black president, but I bet he will be the first black president impeached. This guys isn't going to help us, but rather make more wars, and make more rumors of wars. So, if I had the opportunity, I think this would be a great time to move to Europe or Japan.

Japan LOL you just want to be JDM tyte. Barack Obama is probably going to be the best thing thats happened to your country, though I suppose the economy doesn't really effect people like you yet.

Maybe try going on an Xbox forum or checking the Xbox website. LFS Forum isn't a holy grail of knowledge - there are much better specialist places for you.

Quote from lars.se :Can anyone give me a solution to this??

Before I could press 2 when I wanted to record a race...
Now it suddenly stoped working, it says -Replay was not recorded-
Have I done something that has taken the rreplay function away, or is it a bug???

/lars

I think you were doing it the wrong way around.

You press 2 at the end of the race, to save the replay. Next time you try, wait until the end of the race until you press 2.

Quote from stephen0500 :everyone add there fastest laptime of blackwood normal track with the BMW F1 car.
*Try to include a photo
Mine is 1:23.52
I'm a demo racer with a old joystick.
Is this a good time??

Not really, keep practicing and you'll get better. Also thats not an F1 car, its a Formula BMW, a lower speed feeder series into some of the higher leagues such as GP2 and F1.

yeah I'm the 10th beta tester xD

is not cool if you not wait for the new patch and you made the wrong people with your photo editing its mean NOOB

sorry for my bed englishe

See thats a decent photoshop, after looking at it for about 5 seconds I couldn't see any major flaws, unlike the one in the first post, which looks like something a 10 year old could do with the magic wand tool.

Thats probably the crappest attempt at faking the Scirocco in game I've ever seen. You can even see the green reflection from the green floor you used in the viewer trying to make it look like grass.

The shadow around the back is also crap.

Far too much zooming in and out, my eyes hurt trying to watch the cars.

That much difference would make little or no difference in a game, maybe 3 FPS more if your lucky.

Check some benchmarks online for some results on how each of the cards performs.

Quote from cardriverx :what I wanna know is why they picked a scirocco out of all the much cooler and much more fun to drive cars that are out there.... . Plus we already have a FWD hatch.


Why not something like a saleen S7 or lotus exige S or a lambo, all different that any car in LFS right now.

Because they didn't "pick" the Scirocco, from what I've heard VW approached them and wanted to put their car in the game.

Quote from chavm481 :im gonna go play rfactor.... free mods and night racing.

Go then, posting stupid things like that won't make LFS get free modding and night racing just so your pleased. Its the devs game not ours stop complaining and be greatful you've already got one of the best racing sims out there.

To everyone who is complaining about the lone wait to get this car and saying that your bored of LFS and have lost faith in the developers, show me the bit of text that says they have to do things as fast as possible so people aren't bored waiting.

It will be released when its done and crying about it in here and bumping your post count will only make the wait longer.

Too many spammers around these days and nothing gets done to make them be quiet. Think I'll have to warm up my report button again.

Quote from G!NhO :what kind of games, crysis no..... but with LFS its more than enough

and the E7200 can be overclocked to 5,3 Ghz, if you have some serious cooling
and i also have that videocard and i really like it, i have an intel E8400 3Ghz and i can play Crysis on high.

btw the prices of the videocard depend on the brand, it varies from 140 euro to 170.

5.7Ghz? There are probably only a handful of overclocking teams who have reached 5.7 Ghz and its most likely been run on liquid nitrogen which can't be used in every day situations, its only used for benchmarking.

The E8400 is a great option at the moment, not very expensive and is a very fast dual core near to the top end of what processors are doing at stock speeds these days.

I've just noticed you want to experiment with movie making..My rig is probably around the same if not worse than yours Chris and I do a lot of video editing with video footage and game recorded footage, check out the movie making tutorial in the LFS Manual (link at the top of the page) for some tips on getting the most out of your current system. I don't think you really need to upgrade if you want to edit.

People say you need a good quad core to use proper movie editing packages, I use a 2.8 Pentium Dual core (Core 2 Duo, just branded as Pentium) and I can edit using the top suites such as Sony Vegas and Adobe After Effects with no problems at all.

Half life is also the engine not just the game, like Counter Strike is just a mod of the HL engine.

I think i looked at screenshots of HLRally ages ago but they were crap.

Quote from dadge :it only cost you a further 18 months on your contract. i thought 3g was free to all mobiles that supported it. it's a bit like bragging you don't have a cold.
the LG cookie looks good.

Yeah isn't 3G a technology on the phones? Not something you pay for? I have no clue what it is but I'm not paying for it and my LG Viewty seems to do everything i ask it to.
