I really don't know why. But when I joined LFS back in 2007 I used to race on CTRA a lot.

People were just different. Of course there were crashes, contacts and all this stuff. But there was no spectate policy, no crash ratio detector nothing like that. When someone crashed me he just said sorry and that was enough for me, because we had a nice battle and crashes happen. There was at least a try not to ram anyone, simply people more often thought they're driving a simulator and they need to act a little bit fairly. LFS was meant to be taken as a simulation, not a game.

Today it's just wrong. I have no idea how or why, but people has changed. I could get rammed out of the track and receive not a single sorry or something like that. It's like LFS nowadays are playing 10 years old boys, who have no idea about anything. Back in days it was somehow smarter in any ways.

I don't blame anyone here. I just think the community has changed. Simply LFS is more or less dead. So there is only this public racing and majority of drivers doesn't take it serious. When spectating them, it's like they say to themselves "it's only a game, nothing to worry about, I'll just floor it thru T1 and I'll hope for luck".

Back in days it was more like "Omg, I am driving with all the people I saw in league races, I need to act like a race driver by every occasion." I have mine nice shining XRT and I don't want to crash it even if I was forced to brake a little bit more.

To sum it up, it's the people who has changed, back in CTRA I was racing all the best drivers from 3id, spdo, Pallu the ultimate mouse driver who was never a team member and I can continue forever... Also team less drivers acted more like 20+y old clever guys. Today I race against some random driver from say UK who just received his LFS licence from no idea where, seeing that culture of today's races he thinks he's doing everything right even if there's a contact or crash. In past, this behavior and overall acting on track... Was just different. I can't help myself. Hawk.

Quote from Bose321 :If you're buying a new motherboard, go for a nice i5 or i7.

I can say the same about AMD.

Well, to put it somehow simple into the words:

CTRA back then was a real racing for me, I loved it, community was better, people had what they wanted to have, LFS felt more like a proper simulation with door-to-door FAIR racing.

Cargame today feels more like an arcade side of LFS. Really, it's like noob fest where everyone can beat you without any skill and this is what I don't call a good way.

Also CTRA was so popular because of regular updates from devs and that being on top of CTRA actually meant something, unlike being on top of Cargame list of times.

Quote from Hahmo :I have the 965 one, and It's running perfectly, e.g BF3 runs perfectly on good graphics.

I also have 965 and runs all the games perfectly on good graphics, no problems, no overheating so far. I'd recommend you to go for 965 one. Remember to buy a correct motherboard with correct sockets for Phenom II and with support of quad cores.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :Brake fluid is hygroscopic, that means is absorbs water. Through general use the water boils away, you get gas in the lines, gas compresses, this means that your get a spongy pedal. There is nothing you can do to prevent brake fluid from absorbing water. Some of the newer fluids are more resistant to absorption of water, but it is an inevitability. So regularly fluid changes are the only preventative measure you can take.

Thanks, that sounds fair enough. I will study it more now.

Quote from stan.distortion :
Fluid should be changed every 1-2 years because it absorbs humidity, it's another of those things that never gets done though, like gear oil changes

any proof of your statement? this sounds like a total bullshit imo.

Quote from Uke :Even if your comp can't handle ultra settings, you should always set atleast the mesh quality on ultra, especially if you fly alot. Setting mesh quality to ultra makes it easier to see infantry targets on the ground.

Also, turn off antialiasing post and install the FXAA injector. Makes the AA look nicer and makes the game have better performance.

I downgraded from all ultra to all high except of textures and I can see the difference without significant FPS gain, it only stays over 50 with drops under 40, I think I'll just leave it on ultra, it's playable, good looking, I hate FPS drops. I either need stable 25-30 or stable 60, if it gets from 60 to 30 and that's exactly what this game does, it's a horrible feeling for me.

Shame I haven't bought GTX480 instead of 470, would've been a lot better I think. Stupid money ruling this world.

I just clicked this thread without noticing which thread it is.

I saw some pictures loading so I scrolled down to go directly there.

Scrolling, scrolling, I stopped exactly on 6th picture. Saying to myself, wow, nice real photo of Focus.

Then I got confused because I checked I am in Forza 4 thread.

Man, that is one awesome looking Focus and this is the first time I ever got mistaken when judging whether it's real or PC.

Literally. That's my story. Have a nice day.
