After mostly ease and speed. I dont need no fancy plugins etc or cool stuff, just a fast browser that doesnt have many bugs and something with ease that remembers passwords etc best.

Then Chrome is definitely what you want

Quote from BoneCrusher :

I won't buy S3 because of that, even if it's going to be released at all (don't worry, it won't)

I'm willing to bet that you will buy S3 when it's released

Quote from jibber :

Haha, you see, you're about as educated about hip hop as matijapkc is about metal.

Hehe, you burned both DevilDare and matijapkc with one witty comment

You need to ctrl-alt-del and run task manager. From there you can get a run box and then type explorer and enter...

Quote from matijapkc :

Had the same thing once. Use the task manager to open up your anti-virus programs (...)

He obviously can't even get into Windows so none of that will be of any use to him.

From my fairly limited knowledge on this kind of stuff I don't think it's a motherboard issue. I'd be more inclined to think it's a hard drive problem of some sort. I don't suppose you have a spare HD with a OS installed on it lying around? If so, you could try plugging that in and see if the computer boots.

Or you could try unplugging your harddrive and plugging it into another computer to see if there's anything wrong with it?

Quote from Cobbs :

Right'o!

Just to clarify, I can't race online until I pay for a license, right?

Well that's what you're doing wrong then! LFS is meant to be raced online, not offline

There's loads and loads of Demo servers you can join without having to pay for a license, so get out there, find a decent server and race against real people.

Be warned though, there are a lot of idiots playing online who would rather wreck and crash into you than race fairly. If you happen to join a server full of such muppets, just leave and find another server. There are some very good ones I've heard, but don't know which ones exactly

Good luck!

Quote from DaveWS :

Was really looking forward to this event, didn't go my way at all. In fact I am quite appalled at the driving displayed by one driver.

That is absolutely unacceptable behaviour for an event of this stature IMO. Can't believe he didn't get penalized.

Gotta agree with bunder that that vid isn't really an advertisement for iRacing The sounds are very "meh", the graphics look very below average from that camera view and the overall look of the game is very "game-ish" rather than a proper racesim.

Quote from hp999 :

(...) I love cargame.nl S2 as well, it's a great server, but I think everyone shouldn't have access to GTR's. (...)

The GTR's should just be removed from the server altogether. When will (some) server admins finally understand that having GTR's (and GT2's and whatnot) racing with road cars is retarded. It. Just. Doesn't. Work.

From the GTR drivers' point of view all the roadcars are so slow in comparison that they're just moving obstacles rather than drivers they're racing. And from roadcar drivers' point of view the GTR's are just insanely fast. Depending on the track and the car you're driving you sometimes have less than a second between you getting a blue flag message and a GTR blazing past you. It's no fun for roadcar drivers and I can't honestly imagine it being any fun for GTR drivers either.

Give them a server of their own with multiclass GTR racing and remove them from the roadcar server. It would make the racing so much better and cleaner for both roadcar drivers and GTR drivers.

If you are 14, what age classifies someone as a 'kid' then?

Lol, hadn't noticed his age

Quote from DaveWS :

Stunning.

Quite so, those screenshots are probably the best I've seen of iRacing so far.

Come on, someone post some screenshots of the XRR at Aston to compare so we can have some laughs

Quote from Dennis93 :

Metal sucks. its just noise really.. Try walking into a workshop full of working machines, you might actually like it.

You wouldn't know heavy metal if it hit you in the face

I may be dumb here but... what does that sign display?

Quote from adamshl :

The current payment system doesn't allow purchase S3 license or voucher at this moment.
If you put extra credit on your LFS account, can be used only for extra services like high res skin downloads, sms, or LFSW premium pubstat.
I'm not sure, but it seems to me that you will not be able to use an extra credit for purchase S3 license or voucher when will be available.

I don't see why that money couldn't be used to purchase an S3 license once it's released. Sure, it may very well cost more than £12, in which case you'll just have to add a few extra £ to your account and then just purchase a voucher for a S3 license

Haha, I didn't expect anyone to take the bait this early in the morning but boy was I wrong, you did a wonderful job there

For what it's worth, I couldn't care less about Drift or Cruise servers. I don't have a problem with them at all. Hell, I even go on LTC every once in a while I was just taking the piss, chill out.

Quote from Drift King CZ :

Just go on track with FZR, use paddles for shifting, put auto-clutch on so you will be bothered only by the brake and gas pedal, blip (press / hit) the gas every time you downshift while braking.

:doh:

And that is exactly what's putting me off simracing.

Quote from Mattesa :

And there's little hope of the community reinforcing quality standards when we are still divided over race, drift and cruise servers.

We're not divided over that at all. Drift and cruise servers suck, surely everyone agrees on that

Not a bad idea, always worth a shot. Don't know the first thing about out-gauge so have no idea if it's even possible

This should probably go in the Programmers subsection.

Quote from JJ72 :

Don't post during your period. FFS

:ices_rofl

Yeah, that's definitely a pretty shitty attitude.

Quote from mtrein :

Yup, he did show IHR. Cargame.nl created a playground for unclean and immature racers with dubious and unsportsmanlike attitudes. I hope it continues to gather that kind of crowd so IHR can stay as it is, top quality racing... And CLEAN. Amen to that

My apologies to bring this back up 'cause it's off topic but I just thought I'd say I find that comment rather amusing as for the past couple of days I checked the number of players on the IHR server a few times - just out of curiosity - and it never had more than 3 or 4 players on (of which 1 or 2 are just idling there and not even racing) So yeah... obviously the racing will be fairly clean that way if you have just 1 or 2 people going round the track

No doubt you'll tell me that I checked at the wrong times and that there's always plenty of people on at the right times and whatnot, and I'm not going to argue about that as that may well be so. I'm just saying it never had any significant amount of people on at the times I checked, including right now which is generally considered to be more or less the busiest time on LFS servers.

Quote from 5haz :

You think thats bad, you should see what one of my friends got up to.

Haha, now that is absolutely horrible!

I don't know... I've heard stuff that's a lot worse than that Of course it's lame of him to blame you for the song not sounding "right" but in and of itself the recording isn't that horrible IMO. It's just some simple guitar work.

What? It's just a custom view, right? You don't need anything for that, you can just adjust it in LFS' options. I have no idea where or how, though, as I've never done it I'm sure someone will answer your question shortly.

EDIT: ah, dadge already answered

Press the "v" button (or "c", not quite sure) to cycle through the different views.

I find it rather amusing that the Brits are using "we" here

"We have to finish what we started" etc... You didn't start anything. The US did and the UK just tagged along. Everyone knows the UK is just the US' bitch And as such it's the US that should finish what they started.

They should have pulled out years ago. They'll never win this war.
