Actually I printed off a tonne of prices from the web, went down to PC World and got them to price match it for me. They were going to match it to the price of amazon but the guy on the till was a bit silly and matched it to the price of ebuyer and it was £60.

Doesnt hurt to ask them.

We got 2 DFP for 60 quid each, one was faulty so we looked on the web for stores that had some (we cleared out my local shop of DFP stock) once we found one that had one, I think we may have phoned up their hotline to find a store with one in stock, we headed over there and swapped it for a new one.
What am I doing wrong in single player screen?

When I try to load a single player game, it says it is autocross, i cant change the laps it says "Autocross: fixed number of laps" and I cant add AI drivers or anything.

This is when I try to play a single player game on BL GP.

If i load up the track I have to clear the layout and then exit so I can add AI drivers and then some laps etc.

Why does it keep thinking a BL GP race is an autocross and why does it never remember that I cleared the layout

Im sure im doing something wrong here!!!

i like the current damage model too, i took the FXO out for a spin the other day and i lost it in the chicane and it made the car so funny to look at! still get surprised by the damage and how random it can be, and i still LOLLERBUBBLE all the way down the straights after a flip.

maybe the cmx viewer will be updated eventually to load more than just a skin, maybe you could create a whole scene out of LFS in the viewer...
How would I go about converting a hotlap set to endurance?

Its running R2's on the front, does changing to R3's allow higher running temperatures but do they actually have more rubber on them so they last longer too?

Ok, so im thinking I need to be on R3's, so what next to make them last but still give good handling, do I bump up the tyre pressures? If i do that what would I need to change in the suspension.

Do I make the suspension softer to compensate for higher pressures? Or do i need it stiffer to give more handling, im a bit lost at this point. any info on how you make a set last longer will be greatly appreciated!!!

thanks in advance.

i would say take the XFR to westhill international, rather than Blackwood because westhill can be forgiving on the curbs, its got good chances for drafting and making overtaking moves, high speed braking points and you learn to stay at a constant speeds round the corners rather than just keeping your foot on the floor. blackwood can be really unforgiving in the XFR.

Quote from AdamW :yeah, that's the best strategy for SO classic. Unless one of the aliens is around you can easily get in the top few places just by driving a full race without making a major mistake. Never try and pass anyone, just hang back 25m until they stuff it into a wall and drive past at your leisure. I've won a few races in that combo, but not when one of the 41 guys is around :P

and if youre lucky youll start at the front of the grid next race and have an even better chance.

I dont know if any of you get the Motors TV channel? I love it!!!

Maybe they would be interested in doing a little "games" programme in the future that should include LFS, as it is a racing sim. Motors TV has so much racing on it, I bet if LFS were to be shown (or even repeated a few times during a week) it would bring some punters in because LFS has that awesome racing edge to it.

Maybe if some league races were to be shown on that channel too you might get regulars tune in to watch it?

hmmmm the possibilities.

faster111 maybe you should put a little note in your signature about your disability so people dont jump on your back and make themselves look stupid. For yours and their sake.

my old voodoo3 card blew up in a similar fashion to that. if it just happened after a blue screen or something then your card may have just died.

you need to widen the badge a bit to wrap around the grill.

also did you use Transform -> Scale to resize it? this sometimes loses some quality, you might want to try filter -> sharpening edges maybe, thats helped me in the past. try to just do 1 scaling, dont scale, apply, scale, apply, scale, apply. that will lose some quality in it. did that help?
