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.

Pack of McCoy's at the train station, 85p! What a ripoff.

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.

I think maybe a phone forum would be more suitable, its more likely someone there has one and you'll get more feedback on how it works other than "It doesn't play lfs".

Quote from ma70nismoEd :

i have
GeForce 9400GT 1gb
1gb ram
Intel P4 w/HT 3GHz
200gb HDD

anything else?

The 9400GT isn't really a good card anyway, even though it has 1GB of memory your not really going to use that considering the power of the card.

More RAM doesn't equal speed, despite what a lot of people think.

Also, to the Crysis FPS questions.. Crysis is a terribly optimised game. Even the first versions of Far Cry 2 ran better than Crysis, they also look much better too.

People think i'm 13 when they see me. Consider yourself lucky!

Thanks Andy, was a brilliant race!

I feel so horrible for crashing out someone at the fast chicane on the back straight, as soon as I went to lap him I realised I was going to hit him and couldn't steer away and he spun.

I didn't catch who it was but I'm really sorry.

Anyone got the final standings?

Oh and by the way, awesome battle with De Souza all the way through the first half of the race, some great passes.

Thanks mate,

Glad to be aboard!

Since when has CSS been a coop? Coop is where more than 1 player defeat the AI/game. Not when you are against other players

Have you ever played CSS? It has AI on it when you turn it on.

I have a 360, but I don't think they should still be called next gen consoles. They've been out for ages!

Quote from Don :

seems like the time for new cam is definetely here...

although, this may be problem of the card (brand new 8gb sandisk), the camera surely didnt help it by getting stuck with mirror locked-up...over 1000 photos lost

Sounds like the 350 is getting old now Don, do you know how many actuation's the shutter has gone through?

What you thinking of getting next?

r_mode -1 - custom resolutions on
r_customwidth 1280 - custom screen width
r_customheight 720 - custom screen height

Quote from Luke.S :

if it has killed your gpu make antec buy you a new one.

Another brilliant and thoughtful comment from Luke.

Your overclocking things, which means you've voided the warranty. I've never been one for overclocking graphics cards, for the 1-2 FPS increase it gets you in most games (especially LFS being CPU based) its not worth halfing the life of your card.

You may have just nacked the card up by overclocking it. Take all the bits out of your computer, get the dust out of them and rebuild it. If it still doesn't work try another graphics card to see if its the 9800 that you've broken.

Hmm interesting still not sure whether to buy it or not. Asking everyone on steam if they have it.

You don't use FFB? Your wasting a G25 then if you don't use it. The FFB on a G25 helps you feel when a slide is coming so you can stop it before it happens.

Bump!

The id Super Pack on steam is £18, for about £100 worth of games. I'm only going to get it for quake 3 mainly - are there actually any online servers still? Do people play on them? I probably won't get it if its only going to be me online by myself.

So if anyone has it and 2 minutes to check for me i'd be greatful!

Have you thought about using risers for your pedals? If you have a G25 take out the screws holding the pedals in, slot in some risers on the pedals and see if it helps. All you'll need is an alan key and if you dont want to spend much just a bunch of 5-10 washers would space the pedal out somewhat.

Ignore the trolls, its what they do best.

Also unlucky with the karting crash, I hope you get better!
