Quote from Luke.S :

why would cars need different tyres.

/me looks for video of f1 turn 1 when raining and everyone spinning and crashing.

Quote from jonny__27 :

maybe the most requested improvement to lfs.

just have patience. it will take some time, but if everything goes right, maybe we can finally have a weather system. but notice this is not a 2 day project, so, maybe only in a year or 2.

A year or 10

Now, tell us your new pc's specs

It Wont Make For Good/fair Sim Racing.

Blasphemy!

zomg, lerts is licensed!

Quote from jayhawk :

Another thing to ponder about: if you noticed the fastest drivers in the real world, are not really what you would call deep thinkers. Notice how some just gaze off into the distance? They are not being introspective, they are just plain...well, dumb!

So...stop thinking, pretend you are (insert assumed dum dum driver here) and just do it!

You mean nascar drivers right? (gets flamed by oval / nascar fans for having a bad sense of humor)

I block the stuff in the real world out and usually am faster. Sometimes i Shift n to block the noise from LFS and am pretty consistant (somehow)

Music always helps, i guess.

Quote from NoYPiDRiFTER :

I would like to know if LFS is compatible with XP SP3. Because I am thinking of trying SP3, but, I don't want to try it if SP3 isn't supported. I know Vista is supported, so I am guessnig that SP3 is as well?

If you don't know what I am talking about, look at this link.
http://www.microsoft.com/windo ... indowsxp/sp3/default.mspx

Have they fixed the bug so it supports AMD chips?

SP3 just adds protection you can get via sp2 auto-updater. It doesnt add anything, really, unless you are a hardcore programmer and need the crap that it adds.

Are you saving to .DDS format?

shift N?

Re-install lfs i guess.

thread necro?

Quote from Mazz4200 :

Definitely a good idea, +1 from me.

In the mean time you can use a voice control programme such as Pilfius. I'm not sure if you can access the commands in LFS to any great depth. But with a speech to text programme you can have a very simple set of commands such as, pulling up F12 by simply saying "F12", or "Pits", or anything you want really. And change the settings by saying "left" or "right, "up" or "down" etc. It's basically the same as pressing the keys on the keyboard without having to erm, press the keys on the keyboard

It would be even better if we could tap into whichever bit of LFS controls this stuff and programme it so you can say something specific like "change tyres, no fuel, no repair" or "no tyres, fuel 20%, fix damage" and it automatically does it all for you without having to scroll through all the commands.

in the future!

I dont often do long races, but i agree it would be a good idea.

Planned stop [1] - 40% fuel, tires > 60%
Crash [2] - 0% fuel, repair damage:yes, tires >90%
Spinout [3] - 0% fuel, tires > 50%.

couple handy ones

Quote from Spinaker :

he's nammed tarcal87 (urnoobz in the game if i remember) i try to tell him that the skin was private but he didn't pay any attention, so i ask some help...thx

Ask him nicely to remove it. If not, too bad, imo, if you uploaded to LFSWorld.

I dont get this whole 'private skin' thing. We're a small community, theres no need to keep things private with eachother. To each their own, i suppose. Anywho, delete from lfsworld and he probably wont re-upload and will forget all about it. As long as he isnt taking credit for it, i dont see the point.

LFS locked my PC up 3 times yesterday. Could have been my graphics card - it was uber hot when i pulled plug to manually restart (button is dead and i dont like putting metallic things inside case when its dark to manually jump it on mobo)

Check your graphics card.

Quote from titanLS :

I just don't get it. Why can't people wrap their minds around the fact that EVERYONE would just pick the same settings and we'd be back to square one?

It's called a noob.

Quote from Jakg :

...except a USB headset uses a cheap-o built in sound card which sounds rubbish.

not an audiophile so i wouldnt be able to tell the difference between the soundcard of my $99 usb headset and one using a $500 soundcard

Quote from LazLoW :

USB headset? Unless it has a mic, never heard of such thing. Perhaps buy a cheap pair of over the head headphones that go into a typical sound jack.

Headsets with USB are of higher quality sound than ones with a typical sound jack because there is less background noise and 'scratchiness' from the wire itself.

Anyways, I have a USB headset also, and when i plugged mine in I got the same thing as you - low quality sound and scratchy mic. It seems i plugged it into a low quality/power/null USB port on my sd card reader. I switched to a motherboard USB port and all was well.

its a known bug / deficiency with the turbo.

1. everyone else made a list so why not me?
2.

pwned.

er, sorry guys but it somehow fixed itself. Everything seems to fix itself =/

Maybe it was overheated GPU but not sure, after i restarted it it only did it for a bit then it was gone

Thanks for replies though, good to know i can find help when i need it

I think we should get two versions of patch z. one ZEE and one ZED. All you brits think we're wrong on how we pronounce our z's, but to me its correct >=(

Sorry if this has been already posted, though i doubt it has since 90 % of these posts are thank yous


When you choose no wheel/driver on xfg (and probably other cars) the part steering column you see is disgusting :S. And now that the dash has turn signals on top of speedometer/tachometer, can you use those to indicate lights? Not that anyone will notice since ... when do you use signals in a race? but still, :P
