One last look at the 2.0 Efi in the capri.........






This time next year it'll be 2.9 V6 24V cosworth powered . 200bhp per tonne should be a bit more intresting!

Confirmed that kimi is going to renault

Quote from Senninha25 :

usual temperatures here are always around the 20's, now that it's the beginning of Autumn it's going to 20-17 and by Winter it will be about 10-15º...not much of a change at all, and to make things worse, there's usually a lot of humidity.

Me and the Mrs went the beginning of this year in january........8 degrees.....it was warmer in england!!! Happend to pick the week of that storm that sent a few landslides and trees over, we arent the best at holidays!

Jakg, cant you do the service yourself? Its only an x-flow engine, theyve been around since the 1950's! Parts would be very cheap and wouldnt take you half a day.

I had smething similar before, turned out the PSU connector had fried itself to the mobo to the point where the leads were melting after a few seconds causing the shutdown!

Quote from 1303s_vortech :

Settings won't do miracles at some point.

not so true.......any FR car can be driven on keys without needing a steady smooth right foot. (and not with slow button rates either) just need to know how to set the car up

Quote from Feffe85 :

Aint "power" = throttle on and "coast" = throttle off?

Then why have it locked to 80% while coasting? I have no idea how it works, so this is just a question

Mainly to try and help the oversteer issue, should iradicate lift off/coast oversteer in the setup and also the low power lock should stop him going sideways when you put your foot down. The diff settings can make a lot of difference in the XRG.

Could always try a clutch pack LSD, put coast lock to 80% (or whatever is highest) and power lock to about 25%. should solve your problem.

and the pc is all cleaned out inside? Just wondering if its performance throttling due to overheating, lower settings=less cpu/gpu strain=less heat

Got up to date drivers? Checked nothing else is taking all the CPU power in task manager?

Mines been fine, though I'm running a 500gb for more reliability. (one plate over two or three plates in 1GB drives)

Quote from Funnybear :

And thus, I urge the BBC to not fret it, don't chase it. Get Aussie V8's instead.

As much as I love F1, if that happened I'd be one happy bunny!

Had one of the new Mclaren road cars fly past me on the M11 the other day. Doesnt really stand out much apart from the luminous orange colour!

downloaded it, does its batch install thingy, but nothing new in the game? Am I missing something?

Anyone tried the new DLC? Speedhunters and legends pack, couple of classic cars etc. Free download (via EA Download Manager). about to try it out now.

I notice a difference with ride height and downforce, but I can switch the camber completely opposite directions and nothing happens!

Quote from robt :

Just had lfs freeze when using 0.6A3 for the first time, clicked multiplayer and it hang on the "connecting to master server" part. Couldnt get any crash details sadly. Think it was probably more a glitch from my end though but thought id mention it just incase.

EDIT: Though CTRL+ALT+DEL and end program doesnt seem to work, does everything it says but the EXE doesnt stop running!

C:\DOCUME~1\ROB~1.HOM\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERdf5b.dir00\LFS.exe.mdmp << that seems to be the file in question. the only other thing on the error report is szModName: Hungapp

Found out the reason in the end, for some reason Zone alarm wasnt having the permissions window pop-up for the new exe so instead the game just hang. Changed it manually and all working now!

Thanks for the info guys, sadly I think my board is just plain AM2, AM2+ had only just ben released and was way out of my price range! Still, gives me an excuse for the Mrs to listen to when I spend a few hundred on a new pc

As I said over on the forum, this looks very promising. keep it up!

How does that system run on recent games? Looking at building an identical system (maybe different mobo but same chipset and a samsung spinpoint 500gb). Just wondered how it went and if its worth the upgrade from an athlon x2 5000+ BE and 8800GT?

Quote from BigPeBe :

Not oil, but coolant. It's only the water pipe so it's an easy fix.

I kinda like the iS style white & black color so its' gonna stay. Tho I have one original grille mask lying around so gonna paint it white and put it on instead of that cut one.

Not gonna rat it more, it has little spots of rust on rear arches and on doors so it's enough rat look for me. Point is that it has to look kinda just like another old stock Sierra but the engine is something different.

Nice engine you have there PeBe, Gonna need a bit of work for the 200bhp reliably!

Theres a guy running the pinto efi turbo setup liek you have at 300bhp on a capri site. I'll try and find a link to it for you for ideas!
Not his thread but see the second post down, gives you the basic ingredients for his engine

Quote from Gener_AL (UK) :

@Devs
It maybe a completely psychological thing (which i do think it is), but is there any difference in the track tarmac surfaces at different venues?
Is the tarmac surface significantly different at Kyoto to say that at south city? (Kyoto just feels so different to me)
One thing that has confused me in the development of the tyre physics is how the surface is modelled. Can you shed any light on this?
Does the lighting/time of day alter any ambient track temps? (is this something your looking at introducing in a later version or maybe adjusting track temp?)

Hopefully you get time to get through to answering, if not no worries.
Keep it going

I have a similar feeling, when I was on keys brake/throttle was obviously on or off, but I could run much more braking force at blackwood and kyoto than at south city or fern bay even with an identical setup. Kyoto has always seemed generally grippier to me for some reason. I'd like to think that there was something modelled to make the tracks different.

Quote from Alien_CZ :

Scawen keep it simple.

Change tires:
left front: yes/no
right front: yes/no
left rear: yes/no
right rear: yes/no

Not a fan of this idea, especially for long races with pitstops, having the tyres set to change at a certain wear percentage helps a great deal in calculating tyre wear and strategy. Forcing it no matter what just doesnt do it for me, even in tin top racing the tyres are changed based on wear most times.

Aye, Its fine with keyboard and mouse, played S2 with it for around 6 years! And almost one a championship or two
