I guess this is because it was the first time logging in, and won't count a 1 minute idle as a new visit.
I went to the forum index, and then used the login at the top. I'd like to be redirected back to the page I logged in from, instead of having to click the forum/back.
Edit: one other thing I'd really, really like is to have the "view new posts" link be visible on all pages instead of just the index. Even if it's a drop-down menu while hovering over the Forum text next to User Profiles.
Edit 2: I clicked "Mark forums read", and a few minutes later clicked the "New posts" link. Please make it so that threads with no unread posts do not show in the New posts page.
Yes, Free/GlovePIE have the capability to be used for cheating (e.g. ABS and TC for cars that don't have it, or when they aren't allowed to be used). Shouldn't use such things in serious online racing though, on ethical principles.
Longford 67 didn't strike me as a high quality track. The road surface on one of the straights (after the right hander in the village) is/was iffy, and it looks dated. Having said that, everything looks dated with all settings at the bare minimum
Also the Gp200 track layout is interesting, shame that it lacks optimisation (LoD probably, not sure). Should be good on any computer that wasn't dated 3 years ago..
640 GT is not "pretty good" to be honest. It wasn't it even at launch (a couple of years ago?). You should be able to get plenty of FPS in LFS though, since LFS isn't that demanding. What resolution are you using, how much AA and AF are you using, do you using any mods like ENB Series or SweetFX? And the obligatory integrated graphics note: if you have integrated Intel graphics, make sure that the LFS.exe profile in the nVidia control panel correctly switches to the faster card.
I would expect that card to struggle a bit at full grid race starts with a resolution of 1920x1080 and a bit of AA and/or AF.
