I'm glad you like it.
I did the render (beside having time to do it) because the skin appealed to me, so yeah. I like it
Wuar.. Too many shrooms, man. Too many shrooms
It's a fine experiment. More ppl should do that
Orw? I see fleeing tactics being executed here. Don't do it, we love you!
Are you sure? I'm not convinced that you want it in the game.
I see where you are going, but I don't think it is really necessary. Newcomers wont judge LFS by news on the site - games are typically being developed and then thats it and although LFS is an ongoing project, theres plenty for new ppl to focus on with LFS as it is. You've stuck with the demo for 4 years. S2 have so much more.
I would like some updated news though, but that because it would (probably) mean there is a major patch release

Nuse, I think you have too much to worry about. I don't have anything to do with that. True story
I'm experiencing a mouse glitch on my own (I hope you don't mind me posting about it here).
The mouse moves up and to the left faster than down and right - but if I turn up the mouse speed, but "effect" gradually dissappears, but I hate high sensitivity. If the mouse speed is set to the lowest, it will barely move down and to the right (as it should), but moves up and to the left as with default settings.
This is on my newly installed XP x64 and before I installed mouse driver/software. It's the same after installing them, however I've neutralized the effect by adjust the speed in both windows mouse CP and driver soft. It's OK for now, but DPI is lacking a bit - good thing I don't play FPS games these days

I'm sorry to hear that. I've come to hate computer problems. It's just not fun to keep fixing them any more. I keep my OS's of different drives as well and it works like a charm. I had Linux on same drive as Win 7 RC1, and it died too when I killed Win 7. Both were for evaluation purposes so its not something I'm sad about.
Cheers with all the installing etc.

No one's up for some tests? 
Just keep at it. We all have to start from somewhere - usually the buttom
Must be a combination of the hardware and software playing together in über sync

I'm very pleased to announce our latest member in My3id Gaming. Cai Yufeng, also known as "Eiw". He is a fine 19 year old lad from China, where he just recently graduated from college. Eiw have done some laps in a kart and Formula Junior 1600cc and will, if all goes according to plan, pursue a future that involves serious racing.
The LFS milage of his are on the very end where we would ordinarily label anyone else as inexperienced. However Eiw has shown dedication, commitment and talent that is simply hard to ignore. We believe him to be a great addition to the team and welcome him with open arms.
Welcome to the team, Eiw.

Reason : smelling problems
I did some benchmarking on XP x64.
2 instances, windowed @ 1280*800:
Frames: 2488 - Time: 30000ms - Avg: 82.933 - Min: 26 - Max: 185
1 instance, windowed @ 1280*800:
Frames: 4201 - Time: 30000ms - Avg: 140.033 - Min: 58 - Max: 273
1 instance, fullscreen @ 2560x1600:
Frames: 4432 - Time: 30000ms - Avg: 147.733 - Min: 61 - Max: 308
Tests are somewhat similar regarding Nvidia settings - LFS settings were the same.
Not too bad as the results are pretty close to each other across OS'. Again.. 32 bit vs. 64, meaning I'm not expecting 100% match.
I also did some Unofficial LFS benchmarks, and my ranking seems to be OK, however I do see some lower speced systems ranked above mine (CasseBent.. what are you doing up there?
or how, really)
Overall LFS performance never really bothered me. It's this multiple instances thingy, so I tried to do a bit more controlled tests:
An attemt at compareable benchmarking
XP 32 bit, default Nvidia settings. LFS settings set to max, incl. AA and AF
2 instances, windowed @ 640x480
Frames: 2310 - Time: 30000ms - Avg: 77.000 - Min: 34 - Max: 154
1 instance, windowed @ 640x480
Frames: 4524 - Time: 30000ms - Avg: 150.800 - Min: 70 - Max: 298
1 instance, fullscreen @ 640x480:
Frames: 4588 - Time: 30000ms - Avg: 152.933 - Min: 74 - Max: 296
I didn't get to do the tests under similar circumstances on XP 64. I unlocked on XP 64, then unlocked same LFS on XP 32, and apparently that ruined my unlock on XP 64.. meh. Doesn't matter too much - the reason i did this was because I would like some of you to give it a try with similar settings - that way it's much much more comparable:
1. reset gfx board settings to default.
2. use the attached LFS config file (remember to rename/backup your own first!)
3. Configure Fraps to do a 30 sec benchmark (you can get Fraps here).
4. run 2 instances of LFS and place them side by side - don't alter any setting/option.
5. use the attached replay.
6. change to the very last car (shift+tab once). Don't change cam angle.
7. let the replay run once on each instance. I don't know if it helps to avoid hick ups, but won't hurt.
8. rewind to the beginning on both instances, and then start them immediately after each other.
9. start the benchmarking when the lights goes green - don't do anything the next 30 secs.
Fraps will stop after 30 seconds - you can check the result in the FRAPSLOG.TXT file, which is located in your Fraps folder.
10. while both LFS instances are still running (but after the benchmarking is done) - try using other apps such as a browser, to see if there are any slowdowns.
11. make sure all LFS instances are closed before you restore your original config file!
12. post your results/findings here, including your basic computer specs such as CPU, frequency, gfx board and OS.
Would be interesting to see the results, but I'm suspecting that my LFS in multi mode are running fine. The replay is much heavier than what I normally see/am used to so I'm probably very biased.
Video guide of how to perform the test.
Few notes about the video:
The video was recorded at 30 FPS, but is lagging. Fraps can do a much better job even at 2560 res, but Fraps can't record non-OpenGL/DirectX stuff.
At the end of the video/benchmark procedure, you see me using 2 apps. Although it may seem that the lagging is a result of the recording, the lag is very much like how it really is.
I then closed one instance and "used" the apps again. This time its much faster - you still see a bit update lag, but this is entirely caused by the recording software. The lag/delay is virtually none under normal circumstances.
There are no slowdown on XP 64. Here I can run 12 instances of LFS, all placed side by side, and although there is a bit of slowdown when running that many, it's still far from what I'm experiencing on XP 32 with just 2 - on XP 32 it can even be worse than what you see in the vid.
Ps. it's fine if you only do the benchmark using 2 instances - thats the one that really matters anyways.

Nice vid. I liked it - especially the into/beginning.
Grats to F1rst and nfinity for 2nd and 3rd respectively
Was overall a very good race - not many incidents/protests and 3id's first win, yay!

CasseBent: Yeh, I'll have to see when I have more time to do installs etc.
george_tsiros: yeah, it is - and it is indeed a troublemaker according to interweb people - but I've also read that most/biggest issues occur if you have an i7 CPU as well.
Sometimes so annoying that I don't know whether I should laugh or cry. I mentioned a different problem in this post.
I then went on to do a recording to show what I meant, and guess what... the choppyness disappeared completely while I was recording. It was now so smooooooth that I was like "holy vitamin pills, Batman! :jawdrop:".
