Instead of getting a cockpit:

Get a board and two screw clamps and put the G25 to it. The board has to be placed below the desk´s lip in order to press it up against the table while steering. I am playing this way and it´s works well.

Reminds me breaking into sweat as I tried to boot a friend´s pc for the first time after building it from sketch. Forgot to put the RAM into it .

Just a few minutes to have figured it out..

Before opening a new fred, my youtube no longer shows related videos links beside the actual playing video. What´s wrong?

Never change your outer appearance for someone. What´s next? Getting a beard or stop wearing your beloved jacket? Are you a puppet?

"Why must I cry" is really outstanding. I couldn´t stop laughing, especially watching the "artist" singing and creaming in the shower.

It´s a fast machine for gaming. But you could choose CL 5 RAM, instead of CL 4, because the performance leap is minimal, choose 4 GB of CL 5 RAM instead.

The simple ASUS P5Q should be enough.

If you don´t want to overclock the E8400 cpu, which is unnecessary at the moment, could be purchased boxed, i.e. with the standard cooler.

By the way, I have a E8400 and the P5Q and it´s running fine!

Thanks for the replies, it seems I´ve already got used to the split screen setup, SoftTH didn´t work for me.
Running LFS in 3072x768

I changed my monitor setup from 22 " 1680x1050 to 15 " 1024x768 and 22 " 1680x1050. (E8400, 8800 GT).

Since nvidia´s dualview only allows to set two identical resolutions and I need a high resolution on the 22 " I tried forcing the 15 " to 1536x768.

The distortion in LFS is definitly there, but the immersion is incredible!

I can run almost every other game in 3072x768 including COD4, GTR2, RBR mostly at 60 FPS. How is that? Even Crysis is running at 20-25 FPS, but feels like 30.

Anyone using this weird resolution? Is there a way to split the screen resolutions to 1024x768 + 1680x768 which would be the horizontal size?







Changed the resolution to 2732x768 giving less distortion.

I wonder why my FXO_666 isn´t added to the database, when I upload it. I´ve already mailed to the webmaster (you?), but got no reply.

I build my skin from scratch, so what´s the problem?

What about system specs, os? Have you tried the RichardBurnsRallyeSSE.exe instead of the original EXE?

Don´t buy a 8500 GT! It´s a slow card and you won´t have much fun with it. Get at least a 8600 GT or better a 9600 GT.

Are you sure, the skins are in the right folder? LFS/data/skins

To enhance anti-aliasing try nhancer tool, setting the AA to 8SQ which gives 2x2 supersampling and 2x multisampling.

The 3rd round was really disappointing. 8 racers out of 20 listed on Kyoto national. Very boring, because almost everyone was going on his own, like hotlapping.

Didn´t want to open a new thread, so I post here:

My 8800 GT used to produce flickering even using 16x AF, 8xQ AA. I tried nhancer AA today and found out that 8SQ mode is a superior solution against flickering + offering supersampling which isn´t supported by the nvidia control panel.

72 C are ok, the chip can handle 100 C at least, but getting rid of dust is a good hint to avoid too much heating.

Cockpit in every racing game. And with the camera Hack it´s even more fun, since the car will move instead of the whole screen.

Unfortunately you can´t look left or right, but there are mirrors for that!

Down - with former Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo. One of the most interesting rock/metal bands at the moment imho.

They´re even better live!

I´m sorry, but I won´t make it to the first session. Btw. Sunday would be a much more suitable race day. I´ll try to make it next week. Who´s staying at home on Saturdays?

Wasn´t the pre-season get together supposed to take place today or did I miss something?

shift + f4 works for me, check your function keys. Clicking on your desired resolution takes you to fullscreen.

I wouldn´t call that misleading advertising, because the graphic chip is clearly named as "nvidia 7050", which is an integrated solution. The fact
that it´s call "chip" instead of "card" makes the difference imho.

Did I get it right, when I start in 5th place in a 20 cars grid, it´s my fault when someone behind drives into me, when I take the corner just the right way?

Sorry, but a bit too simple. Even at Blackwood people rush into me in T1 and there is pretty much place to avoid crashing.

I decided to join a league to avoid T1 crashing all the time...
