I had same sort of problem on my old comp. (finally got a new one, yay) I fixed it by adding more cooling to graphics card.

My opinion they should change rev limiter popping into editable one. Just like other engine sounds.

Rofl, my 7 years old computers amazing specs:
160gb hard drive
ati radeon 9200 128mb
386mb pc133 ram
1ghz athlon


But hey, GTA SA works well, so does Half Life 2. LFS has quite a lag when there`s more than 2 cars in screen.

Quote from Mrwei :I don't think so either...

The only way is to change your PC...

More powerful PC ..ha ha

But when your parents are like mine, you can only dream of one. I`m able to pay 3/4 of the price, but they don`t want to pay the 1/4 becouse they think it`s stupid to waste money on computer racing games.

Quote from -DrftMstr- :nice N1 R32 headlights

Didn`t know that there was an N1 version of the GTS-T.
Unless he has changed the lights... Very un-probable

Quote from flymike91 :deleting the .dds files for the buildings will not make them disappear, they will just be white or grey blocks. I wouldn't suggest deleting anything

But then your computer would have less things to do when it wouldn`t have to show the complicated textures, only white/grey blocks.

Quote from March Hare :Another bump of this worthless thread by... TADAH! ...a drifter.

And your point is?

Many race drivers have started drifting becouse it`s more exciting way to drive a corner. Sure, F1`s and quite exciting to drive with very high cornering speeds, but if I could, I would do the same speed on the same corner sideways, becouse it`s more exciting...

I definitely have nothing against grippers, becouse in my opinion every drifter who want`s to be good, needs to know the right driving lines.

Only motorbike race at Isle of Man would be more an adrenaline rush than going sideways at 100mph / 160kmh. I don`t have much driving experience on a real car, but going sideways at even at such low speed as 80kmh was more scary than doing 170kmh on a narrow country road.


I love every form of motorsport, no matter if it was motorbikes, F1, karting, drifting, drag racing, NASCAR etc...

Quote from [RF]-art555 :IF your old wheel's pedals are working, then use it as a clutch

Well... The reason why I`m looking for a new wheel is that my old pedals don`t work... Otherwise it`d be a good idea.

Oh nice. I`ll get the DFP then. I`m sure the clutch pedal is nice but with so much extra price, ain`t worth it.
What`s the lifetime of an DFP?

What`s the lifetime of a Driving Force Pro? I`ve had Logitech Formula Force GP for almost around 7 years and it`s still working fine, but I`m looking for something fresh...

Also, is it worth buying the G25 just for the clutch pedal if I need the wheel for around 2 years only?

Quote from FOX 1977 :Dude...im blind! ... my eyes hurt! :Eyecrazy:


My eye Doctor bill is going to your adress.

Sorry. I`ve tried Fraps before but 1. I don`t have the full version. 2. I reckon it lags even more than GameCam. GameCam`s quality is crap though.


Thanks for the advice anyways.

I just wanted to try out the "popular" drift track, and found out it`s boring and with slow corners.

What comes to the cruising server, I wanted to find out wtf are they, and when it didn`t let me to the track I left.

Now I was looking for a racing server, but they`re mostly empty or with slow, non exciting cars...

Tried out the Sauber and it`s damn quick :o

Mmmmmm.... Race ya later, I go driving.

Quote from squidhead :10 FPS at THOSE graphics? I wouldn't try to make a tetris video at those your PC specs. Get an upgrade

Drifting : below average, you see people doing much tighter and cleaner lines everyday in S2

Ya, not 10fps during gameplay ofcourse, that´s why I don`t care if my computer is a bit old. During gameplay it`s 45-65fps.

About the drifting, well, that means I have to start training normal racing to get the lines right.
Today I was driving Blackwood (ofcourse) with FMB looking for good driving lines and fast times, the good lines wasn`t there where I would usually go.
Do you accept my driving?

Do you accept my driving style to S2?

Sorry, I`m just excited about getting the license after 3 years of waiting.

And for those who are mildly blind, unable to read small texts or just isn`t capable of understanding various things, I`m the guy on the FMB called [D-Styles]Hanska

Thanks

Yeah I know, lag. My dad promised me that he`ll buy me a new computer after we sell our house and pay all the arrears we have.


Edit: The second lap is the better one. :P

Was I any good? [WARNING, drifting..]

I want your opinion about my drifting, I want to know if I was any good back at the times when my wheel worked fine.

Not my best driving, only the best replay I found from my *.spr list.


Yeah yeah, it`s laggy, my computer sucks. And it doesn`t have music or anything becouse my Movie Maker doesn`t recocnize the *.avi file.

Anyways, here it is:

Sorry for double post...

I got a code like this from another forum:

Quote :

Private Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "PlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszName As String, ByVal hModule As Long, ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal vKey As Long) As Integer




Private Sub Form_Load()

Timer1.Interval = 1

End Sub


Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

If GetAsyncKeyState(38) = False Then
PlaySound "\scaniaturbosurge.wav", 0, 0
End If
End Sub

That code works like charm, but the only problem is, that I don`t know how to make it randomly load different *.wav files from the given directory. Or how to make it stop the loop.

I tried many tricks which would be logical in my opinion, but VB6 doesn`t co-operate with my mind bobbling programming skillz.

So please guys, pimp my code to make it load randomly different given sound files and stop it from looping. Also needs to stop playing the sound file after I press the button again. Would sound stupid if you drove a truck, changed gears and started pushing pedal to the metal again and the turbo would still howl.

Thank you.
