Quote from jbirdaspec :

If you are thinking about a shifter this is very hard to beat any price. Very tough piece of gear.

Ye I can vouch for the SST Lightning; it's a very good shifter
SRT said the act labs felt like a toy compared to SST.

Quote from chavm481 :so a vid card? whats recmendale for around 100 USD?

100 usd is a good budget. Can get you a solid 4830, the best of the three options you have through my research I had to do since I don't know ATI cards well: the 4830, 3870, and 4670.

Or on choices for nvidia, you can get ... well ... just go with the ATI. the 9800 that is beaten by 4830 in most benches is 30 dollars more.

What are specs of your power supply in terms of voltage / +12v rail ?
That card should cover medium high resolutions, but may I ask at which you run at?

@ cobra - come on, just because his flag is USA, doesn't mean he's a native speaker. You can easily infer what that word means by its context.

Quote from chavm481 :im willing to do something easy and not to pricy,and its for lfs only. im not a pc gamer. and i lol al my 7100, but what would simply improve my fps the best? thats what im looking for more detail + frames.

New video card would give you more fps for money than a new cpu.

BTW, which dual core is it? 2ghz doesnt tell us anything about it at all. It could be 1ghz and be very good. Newer intel?

Quote from Riel :Pull the fuse and ABS is off, quite easy.



Still, when it comes to simulation ...

When the ABS hits in, i would NEED to feel it in 1) the brakepedal!! (today's FF don't have it), and 2) in steering wheel.

Well, I think making a mod that ticks the brakepedal is possible to get the feeling. But LFS would have to send a signal out. Too bad i am really not into this things.


How can I corner while ABS is hitting in, and I don't feel a thing about it ... I'd turn it off and feel my wheels block

If you engage abs and steer a bit to left or right, the wheel pulsates, so its pretty easy to tell if ABS is engaged.

Quote from JazzOn :nKpro is a different game not just another lfs server ^^

The devs said they have to work on damage and crash model among many other things to lose alpha tag, so it's not like they're not going to get to it. They choose what they do, when they do it, how they do it, and why. See sig.

Any decent graphics card, really. 7100 is the lowest of the low budget cards from 2005...

I've got g25 and can't stand paddle shifting, and the standard h-shifter sucks, so I got SST Lightning. I can't believe people use paddle shifters out of open wheelers . I only race with H-shifter

Quote from chavm481 :you can about 60%. i simply have to drive it to know it..

Maybe that's just you. If you are observant and look at how the driver is driving it; how far the gas pedal is being pushed and outcome, how much force is needed for pushing brake or turning, how much you turn, and how the car reacts - cause and effect, you can get a pretty good grasp of how it handles.

run-on sentence ftw?

Quote from Eleanor SpeedGT :Hmm i still think that it seems a bit low...15 fps.....thats way too low actually

Not for a full AI gtr grid, though. This is why I'm not buying in to this whole dual-tri-quad core fad. I'm stickin with mah trusty single-core! ^-^

Quote from danthebangerboy :FXO interior is also horrible. Strange that some of the cars have had an updated interior with patch Z and some havent.

As for new interiors, i would go here...

The uf1 doesn't even have an interior! It's all black!

XFR, XRR, FXR are all sequential only cars. You cannot, repeat, CANNOT use h-shifter on them. That'd be like eating soup with a knife. MADNESS!

Quote from Glenn67 :There there you poor chap

I only need 3-6 racers that I'm familiar with to have a good run, packed servers are over rated

yes but often 3 out of the 6 on ctra do not know how to drive. Cruising is certainly a haven for us night owls in U.S.

Quote from Double_D210106 :Hi everyone! I got a problem with my G25 wheel, i have no ffb in the patch Z, but everything was all right in the older patch tho! Somebody had the same problem? How do i fix it?

If you haven't played in a while, make sure the Power Cord of the g25 is plugged in. THen in-game hit the > or . key (same key) and increase FFB.

Quote from (FIN)Eza :In cache run, all CPU's were working only at 2.4GhZ while in CPU chart E8600 is working at 3.33GhZ (stock speed)

about GPU part, I will run SO4 tests with hardware listed here:

AMD Athlon XP 2800+ with ATI Radeon 800XT 256MB and Nvidia GeForce 4 MX 440
E8600 at stock gets benched with:
ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB
ATI Radeon X1950 XT 256MB

And to see how slow GPU can be before it starts to affect into FPS, we underclock 4870 as low as it takes before FPS decrease.
Dunno how much that helps with anything, but it at least will show how much LFS really depends on GPU

Also testing laptop with 32bit Vista Home Premium with specs like:
Intel T9300 2.5GhZ 6MB L2
4096MB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2700 512MB


I will run tests after this Xmas madness is over so stay tuned!

Ah okay, thanks. S04 test computer is similar to mine, so that'll be helpful.

Quote from DoriMasta :scawen wai u never actually play online lol

Please don't spam; especially in test patch threads


I agree with one of the posters that the ABS in xrg/xfg should be evened out. Maybe even take it out of XRG and put it back in for XFG to even out a tiny bit.

Thanks for working even when you don't want to, scawen <3
