Buddy. Awesome name.



Comes with heavy-ass ineffective lead-acid batteries or NiMH if you're rich enough. Has seats for 3 tiny people and room for a sheet of paper in the trunk.

I'm a shy person. Does this count?

My Olympus µ740 with 512MB XD card. Got it 1 1/2 year ago for free because the screen was broken. Bought a new from Hong Kong, and it worked like brand new until the battery case broke, so it's hold together with electrical tape.

My Canon EOS 550D with standard 18-55 IS objective and SanDisk Extreme 8GB SD card. Bought it at Wednesday and works good so far.

The objective is actually twice as heavy as the Olympus camera.

Gotta love Japanese commercials.

When:

You're driving/racing/drifting like a pro, even as you've never raced a real car.

You're going to drift in real life, but first you place the front of your car into a wall and floor it.

You crash into someone in real life and looks for the "Sorry!" macro key.

The clutch on your car is worn out and you wonder why it's still bad when you've let it cool overnight.

You're in a car in real life and you suddenly notice how much viewing angle you have, and you're like "Wow!". (Me not too long ago)

Where has no.lfsmanual.net gone? Chrome says it can't find it

Live for Speed Underground or something would sound nice. The LFS physics engine combined with NFS Underground 1/2, and can be bought aside for those who have S2. However somebody has to make the game, and the devs already has a lot on their hands right now. And it has to be compatible with future versions of the physics engine.

Here's mine for XRT, which I call awesomesauce. Don't be fooled by the name. It's just a way to make you just want to download it. (I'm not a very creative person, therefore that name) I made it sound a bit like a tuned car, but I couldn't find a way to make it sound like I wanted without making it clip.

Video is up. Give it some time to process.

Robert Patton - Big In Japan

Thanks. I'll try it out later.

Maybe I should buy a sheet of these to stick to my keyboard. (shipping costs more....)

Edit: I tried setting the language to non-unicode programs to Japanese, and it worked. Thanks

However until I learn some Japanese letters I think I'll change it back for now. I don't understand anything of what the Intel RAID program is trying to tell me.

Thanks, Silverracer. I'll try it out when I get home.

ありがとうか、いじょうせんせい. But as you see I've done that already. I'm not sure if I've done it right though. At least this is how it looks like on my work PC, and I have the same settings at home.

Hi. I'm trying to write some Japanese in LFS, but the only way for me is to open the list and click on each of the letters. If I try to write using the keyboard the letters I write gets replaced with "?". That also happens if I write something in a writing program and try copypasting it into LFS. From what I heard it doesn't support Microsoft IME so I need to get a Japanese keyboard or something? I don't remember. Can anyone explain? (Maybe I'll remember it this time)

I use about 75%, and that's on my drift setup. But that's because I don't use the brake to make the car slide but for weight shifting.

A G25, G27 or similar is recommended. (I think G27 is the best if you have cash, but if you're on a budget you can probably get a used G25 for a good price) The first weeks it's a little unusual feeling the wheel pushing left and right while you're driving in corners, but as you make progress you'll be able to understand and predict how the wheel will react on and make it a part of your driving technique.

To say it that way, when I first got my G27 everything was different from using a controller, and I wasn't able to drift at all, which I'd been doing for a long time then. Now I mostly just use the pedals and turn the wheel a little bit and then lets it do the rest of the job.

You have S2? Your profile says you're a Demo Racer.

Driving with a keyboard is difficult since you don't have variable axes. Turning is either straight forward, all the way to the left or all the way to the right. Tapping the keys might work, but constantly going from no steering to full steering can make the car a lot unstable. Using the mouse to steer gives a little more control.

I'm not good a racing but I can give you a few tips.

Try entering the corner at a lower speed.

If you have much grip on the front tires and little grip on the rear tires the car can easily oversteer. Try putting lower grip on the front or more grip on the rear. However applying too much grip on the rear and/or too little on the front can cause the car to understeer.

Hardening the anti-roll bar might help. However I'm not good at that stuff, so don't kill me if I'm wrong.

On an RWD revving the engine while downshifting may prevent the rear tires from loosing grip, keeping the car stable.

Quote from ORANGE2113 :

* Brake heating, overheating
* Animation of selecting gears, handbrake and horn
* Rev limiter
* Smoke from exhaust(flame the gear shift)
* Damage the gearbox then select gear without press clutch (H gearbox) and sound of this "Krrrr"
* Part of car in mirrors

There is already a rev limiter that cuts the ignition (dumping the fuel in the exhaust manifold causing the car to sound like popcorn), but you maybe meant those street car types with a jumping RPM needle and an engine that sounds like "vRRRvRRRvRRRvRRR"?

Smoke from the exhaust will be nice. And flames too. I'd also like ALS. But then there should be some simulation of the engine, manifold and the turbo heating up and causing damage. The player should able to adjust how much the ALS should work. As more you set it to work, as faster the parts take damage and breaks down. If ALS will be added without heat simulation, then everyone will start driving with ALS.

Damage by heat will probably be most noticed at enduraces where they drive for hours. While with short races it do almost nothing. Also, many short races will do very little either since you start with a brand new car for each race.

If ALS gets added to the game, then heat damage should be added to. And the server admin should be able to allow/disallow ALS on the server.

If you don't know what ALS is, ALS stands for Anti-Lag System which prevents turbo lag by keeping the turbo pressure up after the driver has lifted the throttle. This is done by either cutting ignition dumping unburnt fuel into the manifold where it ignites by the heat, or causing a "retarded ignition" where the exhaust valve stays open and the spark plug fires about 45 degrees after it normally does. ALS causes huge wear on the engine, manifold and turbo doe to heat, and therefore it's not recommended to put on your road car.

I read that stuff on Wikipedia a long time when searching for "misfire system" which is another word for ALS that they use in the Initial D anime. I barely knows about cars in general.

Well... Some of the admins are a little childish and such, so Beav doesn't have much to say about LTC. The worse that's happened to me are warnings by cadets for theoretically being a dangerous driver. However I like the WKD server. From what I've experienced it's pretty nice except for the sometimes laggy insim and the London-alike city track.

If you got banned and in fact are interested in getting unbanned, post in the Ban Appeals section on the WKD forums. And like always, be on topic. "I got banned wkd sucks lololo" will not get you unbanned.

Tomba(FIN): Thanks. I don't know why it's disabled by default. Or I might have disabled it accidently

Raunokas: Why did you change to 32bit? Driver problems of some sort?

Like I said, I didn't read the whole thread. The guy here who got "hacked" was probably just unlucky, but I'm just giving a warning to others. But that was most likely unnecessary of me, because most people on this forum probably understand that.

I've got my hotmail "hacked" once, because it started sending spam to others, and I got "failed to deliver message" pretty often. I changed the password and everything was fine. I'd used the same password since 2001 so I kinda deserved that.

Quote from Raunokas :

Duude.... 4Gigs RAM and 32-bit?

Well.. I can post the rig I won in a competition.
Corsair 800D
Asus Rampage III Extreme
Intel i7 980X
12GB Corsair DDR3 RAM
2x XFX Radeon HD5970
2x Corsair 120GB SSD (240GB in RAID0)
4x Western Digital Black 2TB (about 5TB in RAID5)
3x Eizo 24" 1920x1200 (overkill, because they're meant for photoshopping and therefore costs too much)
Logitech G27 with pedals adjusted for easy heal-toe

I'd like to play some more intensive games. Just haven't made it to the store and buy them yet. (they're probably stupid console ports too)



And the rig I've spent my own money on.
mATX case from the stone age
Gigabyte G33M-S2H
Intel Q6600 @ 2,4GHz (I experience overclocking problems atm)
8GB OCZ Blade DDR2 RAM
Sapphire Radeon HD4850
Seagate 120GB SATA
Western Digital Green 1TB

Lou Grant - Don't Stop The Music

Initial D music :D

Iphone 4 you get this free very good

I haven't read the whole thread, but that's how my friends gets hacked. I'm just telling everyone: Use common sense, even if you have good antivirus software. Don't click on every link that you see.

I sometimes listens to music when the music doesn't disturb me, like preventing me from hearing the engine, tires etc, or takes too much of my concentration.

Also the music needs to fit the driving. For example Vivaldi doesn't fit in a drifting show. And Initial D music gets you really worked up when you're driving in traffic where you're supposed to be calm.
