Quote from Ardent :

I myself wouldn't even bother playing a racing game with keyboard. Yes, it requires more skill, so does eating soup with a shovel, but it does not make sense.

What if you have a shovel and food. Buying a spoon requires money, which you don't have. You are hungry. You don't eat at all?

Quote from sinbad :

@Playlife: This is why if it were implemented it would be vital to allow adjustment of things like steering lock and brake force, people have different equipment calibrated in different ways, and the idea of limited setup instead of just fixed has been mentioned numerous times here.

I'm done arguing for this, I don't see any negatives if it's done right, so I'll just wait and see.

I most specifically need to adjust 1st gear in a hideous amount and front and rear downforce radically

I have to vote a resounding NO NO NO NO NO !!!!!
I drive Ks and it is impossible for me to drive the regular setups... Especially the rear wheel drive cars

ok, gotta buy the licence then

that's a good idea

Quote from DieselRO :

now i'm playing again with keyboard but i can only race the XF GTi propperly because i can floor the throttle all the way in most of the corners. The RWD's are a nightmare ... i can't get more than 3 laps in a row without spinning out (using Bob Smith's easy race setup)

I can drive the FOX in all tracks and FO8 on some with Ks.

The secret is to
1) having an understeery car (much-much more back wing than front a la 1 at front and 16 at the back)
2) moving the 1st gear ratio button to left (by very much ) and 2nd and 3rd gear just by a tincy bit to left...

You ownt have super fast laptimes but you won't spin out either. Finishing in top3-4 if perfectly manageable, sometimes even wins, as many people crash out driving a wheel

Hi, Scawen

I have 2 suggestions for the skin viewing program:

1) Right now you have to press the skin name and then select the skin from a list. However, I would like the option to click on a "left" or "right" button, so that the next skin is selected and displayed on the car model. This would not be so hard to program, I think and it would make things a lot faster for us.

2) What if you want to make the cars in the car selection screen look like the one you are driving (with the skin you use). Could you make a button in the viewer where you click and it makes such an image of the car model and skin you have selected - the correct size and correct view angle.

Or perhaps this can be implemented in-game - even better

Thank you , if you do this

Hi

I've been away on project leadership for a few days training and I came back to this

I must say, I have already bought a Radeon 9600 PRO. I don't get any slowdown at the start anymore and I run 6xAA and 16xAF - I could not run any of those before. In addition, almost everything is turned way up in the graphics part + I got a card that is dx9 compatible, not only dx7... The starts are not a problem anymore - no slowdowns. I am quite satisfied I really don't know what I would do with a better card :/ or a better cpu.

Half-Life 2 I already played long time ago and it ran just fine...

Seahorse - Your comments are not welcome in this thread anymore - they do nothing but insult me!!!!! :mad: You are simply... stupid!!


For the rest of you. Thank you I did not manage to buy a better card, but I think this one is OK for a year or so, until LFS gets a graphics workover or smth.

See you on the track

P.S. What is hvs?

Quote from Seahorse :

Don't waste your money on the 6600 - your PC should be replaced first - it's a museum piece...

I read a similar comment by you elsewhere... You seem to be under the impression that everybody should own the latest most expensive PC... Sry, I do not think so!!!

Additionally, people in our country earn 3x less than the same people in your country... Perhaps you should try taking a wider perspective on things

Quote from Forbin :

As for the 9600 Pro, I suppose that's alright if you're really on a super-tight budget. It's certainly much better than the GF4 MX (aka GF2).

Yeah, I hope it is - don't wanna go through this trouble and just waste money for a 5 % improvement

Guys, I'm looking at buying the 9600 PRO at the moment. Think that's OK? GF6600 is a tad bit expensive for me...

I mostly play LFS (90%) but would also like to play other games... I guess I am looking at the price range of some x550 or x600.

Currently running :

Sempron 1700 MHz (2400+)
NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX 440 (64MB)

Please advise

Quote from ajp71 :

Why on earth do the FIA feel they should be designing F1 cars? That job should be down to the teams, wing shapes should not be laid down by regulation, there's no room for innovation in F1 now.

lol, think again - FIa is regulating everything very well already - you cannot be very innovative

Quote from Cue-Ball :

The reason you're getting different frame rates is because the settings are very different for the two configs. Here are just a few of the differences. I found a lot more, but these were the ones I think could have an effect on your frame rate:

***** cfg.txt
MP Draw Dist 160.00
Bias Mip -2.00
User LOD 0.9
Mirror LOD 0.2
Driver Pos View 1
Enable Mip Filter 0
Min Sleep 1

***** CFG.TXT.BAK
MP Draw Dist 150.00
Bias Mip 0.00
User LOD 0.8
Mirror LOD 0.1
Driver Pos View 0
Enable Mip Filter 1
Min Sleep 5

omg, rofl... "basicly no difference"

Quote from Sk0rp :

I think is is a huge affort for scawen.
I don´t think that we´ll see it in LFS ever.
Other things are more urgent then this feature.
On the other side: How many people has a dual screen workplace(@home)?

I use at home

This makes me really angry. It is not a problem of keyboard user if u got rammed. It is the problem in the user itself whether he drives wheel, mouse or whatever... I drive keyboard and I usually finish in top 4! My laptimes are slow compared to other racers (2-3 sec slower), but others loose out because they crash and spin all the time... and this is a real problem - people crashing/spinning into you and reversing into the racing line after a spin!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it would be nice to be able to get that thing out of the way.

Yeah, better helmets, please

I think the ones with reflection are much more prettier...

Has anybody made a GP2 skinset for FO8? Or at least the Piquet and Dams cars? I would really love to use those

Where can I find that?

Quote from Tomstr :

Hi all,

When watching some BMI dvd´s I thought about a downhill track for LFS. Especially the XR GT is nice for close Togue drifting.

And the extra fun in a downhill track is that is could be used as a hillclimb when driving the other way around, this is where the LX´and MRT5 could be fun. (in time comparison mode I guess)

yeah, hillclimb would be very cool

Turboholics?

When I end the race and go to garage, I get "Race ENDS : 1"
