I think the devs won´t hire more people to work on LFS, because there isn´t enough money available.
Since the development goes on, but people just pay once, the costs keep running.
That´s the difference to other games: the game is developed and released, then the money hopefully comes in. Scavier are working mostly with money from the past.
Maybe the devs should change this to get more people into development like paying 2 pounds a month for faster improvements. Everyone who can afford a computer to run LFS can pay this.

Changing from 1440x900 to 1680x1050 is a 26 % step (1296000 pixels to 1764000). Since LFS is higly cpu limited you shouldn´t have problems getting stable 60 FPS with your system. Be sure to limit the FPS to 62 and keep vsync on to avoid jumping FPS. Your CPU should be able to give at least 50 FPS in full field online and mostly 60.
Nice. But I should rather get a 22 " TFT and a decent graphics card, 8800 GT, than getting a 24 " 1920x1200 display which resolution I cannot use fully.
A friend bought a dell notebook with a nice 1920x1200 display, coreduo but a 8600M graphics card and is happy now to play COD4 in 1024x768 low settings.
Nice way to throw your money away...

Y22 is incredible! My FPS in my testing replay with full grid have increased from 37 at start to 51.
The minimum FPS jumped from 25 to 37.
Track: South City Chicane Route.
3700+ 2,8 Ghz, 8800 GT, 1680x1050, 4xAA MS, 16xAF forced through driver.

Ok then, could I get my 6 € back, please?
The question is if the money isn´t wasted on the new processor put into the old socket 939.
If you want to stick to your mainboard I´d suggest getting a single core as 3700+ or 3800+ for little money. I´ve overclocked my 3700+ San Diego from 2.2 to 2.8 Ghz and it´s running LFS fine at 1680x1050, 8x AA, 16x AF using a 8800 GT which I would prefer instead of a 9600 GT, if you want to use AA.
In additon to that other games run fine at full quality and 1680x1050, 4x AA, 16x AF like CoD4, Rainbox Six Vegas, GTR2, Kane and Lynch...
The x2 4200+ runs at 2.2 Ghz and will give you almost the same performance as your current cpu.

Check your graphics card with another game.
Be sure that the hardware acceleration is enabled -> start - execute (first menu item) type dxdiag, go to display. "directx and direct draw" have to be activated.
Try another graphics driver.

After having adjusted the colour palette, LFS really looks a lot more interesting.
That can be done with paint.net which is free.
I like the motion blur, but it seems as it´s switched on and off every 10-15 seconds.

Pro Evolution Soccer 1 - 2008. There is no game I play that often for a whole year, besides LFS.
A good location is this track (in my home town Dortmund ), which is indoor and offers a track of incredibly 1.6 km.

The cockpit picture in your photobucket shows 32.7 FPS instead of 60. Getting constantly 60 FPS at a resolution of 2048x1536 isn´t possible with a 7950 GT. Your CPU should struggle within a full grid.
Problem is the resolution of 800x600, but it´s fun I´m sure.
1 GB of RAM is sufficient for LFS in HD, the 8800 GT is a good choice.
Btw. your CPU can be overclocked to at least 3.8 Ghz, depending on the cooling and quality of the processor, but it´s worth a try.
If you wanna upgrade your CPU get a CoreDuo 6750 and a new mainboard/RAM.

I am beautiful, no matter what they say...
Btw. the 8800 GT´s image quality will blow you away! I got mine for 2 months now, never seen something like this before.

I bought an Acer AL2216W and and can say that it´s a good TFT. I admit the colors change a bit to sides, but since I sit 1 meter in front of it, in games this isn´t too bad.
LFS on this 22" is awesome.

Since I changed from the 7800 GT to 8800 GT some graphics in LFS tend to flicker especially fences and posts in the distance.
This is even more strange as the 8800 GT offers an unbelievable image quality in all other games. I tried a bunch of drivers, no change.
I returned to WHQL 169.21, which gives the best image quality IMHO.
BTW, 8800 GTX SLI running at 1280x1024 is really a shame. When you can afford such a setup, you should be able to get a 22 " TFT at least. Even at 1680x1050 your setup isn´t really challenged. You should run 1920x1080 or 1920x1200.

Don´t get me wrong, but what´s all the mess about ingame AF settings? I can´t see any differences between AF forced by the driver or set ingame.
I thought about updating from 939 (3200+, 7800 GT) to AM2 with a 6000+, but decided against it and got a 3700+ from ebay and a 8800 GT instead.
Overclocking the 3700+ to 2.8 Ghz it gives me nice frame rates, full field mostly 45-60 running at 1680x1050 16x AA, 16x AF.
Why are you running 1024x768, 15 " TFT?

Hi,
try this: Go into your LFS Folder and open cfg.txt. Search for "Screen Info" and set it up like this: Screen Info 0 60 1024 768.
Alternatively you could try your desktop resolution.
Hope it works,
NikLaw

7500 3dmarks for me, because of the cpu. Happy with that because I only need 60 FPS in games at 1680x1050 not 135!
Strange, I only can watch my points online.
