If you're ever bored again you could try doing 3 runs for each and then post the average time of the 3 runs for each car

I thought Bob looked a lot shorter than I imagined too... well there ya go, he's not.

Actually, one of my boss's is called Bob and he's six foot as well... there goes that theory on Bob's being short and fat.. he is bald though

25

According to deathclock I'll die on Monday, 26 July 2066... Fark, I'll be 86 years old. I hate Mondays.

I've only got my brother into LFS, he also purchased a wheel for it. He only really got into it once I showed him the MRT5 back in S1, after doing a few laps in it with my wheel he was hooked. I'll get mates to have a go at it, and a lot enjoy it but none of them have the time to get into it. Most of them stick to GT4 type games as it's quick and easy, no need for a huge comment. Fair enough

Actually, everyone I have showed only has seen S1 and they all loved the MRT5...

Just thought of another (probably way too late, oh well)

Live for Speed: Download it, try it, you'll love it.

I got into GT4 again yesterday... the Audi A3 3.2 Quattro is a sweet car, sounds good, drives good, looks good. I reduce a little of its weight and gave it more rear drive bias and it was even better! GT4 isn't that bad really, sure its not "The Real Driving Simulator" like it claims, but it's still a good.

LOL, that name is huge. Send him a link to the 32mb demo. Say "Download it, try it and STFU about GT4."

Nice one SlamDunk

LFS: Lesbians & Free Sex

What's that saying... sex sells?

Does it happen in single player?

ahh, so that's where I went wrong. I've always thought it was Lesbian's For Sex: Online Rooting Stimulater... so that's why people give me funny looks online

Should have a contest for longest hangtime!!!!

Ok... just let me take my underwear off... there we go, I've started on 26/10/05 at 12:31PM my time

very nice

snewham, for the sake of personal sanity some people are best left ignored

I like:

Live For Speed: Online Racing Simulator

But L(Oo)ney's Live For Speed : Not Need For Speed would hopefully stop all those morons thinking you've made a typo

Quote from AndroidXP :

I guess that means it's overclocked...

I thought the same thing, but an AMD XP 2400 + default speed is normally around 1.93MHz to 2MHz... a quick google advised me that, you didn't get your figures wrong Mr.Ferret . It's 15 x 133 for this CPU (which equals 1995MHz, which is why they are rated between 1.93MHz to 2MHz).

My CPU is an Athlon 2500 +, default is 11 x 166 = 1826MHz (actual speed for mine is 1832MHz). Right now it's overclocked to 11 x 199 = 2189MHz (actual speed for mine is 2182MHz). My generic ram (2 x 512MB PC3200 dual channel) doesn't like BF2 when the FSB is 200, runs completely stable at 199 though

Quote from RacingSimFan :

The LX6 doesn't have to be 'GTR' with a turbo and whatnot. Just slapping slicks on it makes it a much racier car yet isn't all downforced up or tricked out. That would also leave room for an LX8 GTR with turbo and spoilers and tuner stuff.

Seriously, making the LX6 a race car in S2 Final may be one of the best reasonable/do-able changes the devs could make.

Who mentioned anything about turbo's?? The original, but canned, LX8 GTR was a NA V8 - no turbo at all...

That would be awesome

I would still like to have the LX8 GTR, but an LX6 GTR would be a damn fine.

I couldn't see an LX6 GTR racing against FWD buzzbox GTR's though, that would look wrong

Ferrari 575M Maranello
Ferrari F355
Aston Martin DB6
1999 Aston Martin V8 Vantage
TVR Griffith 500
TVR Cerbera
1985 BMW 323i Coupe - loved this car for a long time, has to be the '85 model
Toyota Landcrusier FJ40 - highly modified for offroading.
Jaguar XJS V12 Coupe
Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R (KPGC10)

Far out, limiting it to top 10 is bloody hard. If I had the cash my garage would probably have 5000+ vehicles in it

LFS is more CPU demanding than GPU, so you might want to check if it's CPU heat issue as well. Is your heat sink clean of dust? Check that the HSF (Heat Sink Fan) is also clean and still works fine.

What temperature is your CPU running at when idling and under load? (Motherboard Monitor 5 can help here http://mbm.livewiredev.com/ )

Nope, he didn't Tweek. It was posted earlier that only Scawen & Victor could make it.

I'd prefer some better visual effects. Things like bugs splatting on the windshield, dust kicked up gets your car dirty etc. As for birds and the bees... if only spectators can hear them and the racers can run over them, why not? hehe.

No more 4 bangers or turbo cars please... heres why (cut and paste from a pre-S2 post of mine in RSC):

Quote from tristancliffe :

He's talking about Black and White. I too remember a 'Scawen Roberts' wandering around muttering. He never did anything useful either, apart from the odd kitchen repair, and random physics calculations. I liked to throw him at trees.

I think my monkey ate him once too...

Ditto, although my beast was a tiger...

This thread went from Scawen's "death" to the oppression of being a programmer...

Quote from wheel4hummer :

I would rather do actual physical pain. The wrecker should have a low-amp 12,000 volt shock.

Now that sounds fair and reasonable. However, wreck an entire field and it should be no mercy.

Quote from skiingman :

Cool. I don't know if anything similar is prevalent in North America, I usually just see gates of various types.

I've seen lines painted across roads to "instruct" deer where to cros....lol...dunno how effective that actually is.

We have signs like that for our animals here... lol.

This is one.. it's to stop cattle escaping their paddocks without the use of gates on roads

Randomn lightning strikes!

I've played a few games with dynamic weather, creates so much more atmosphere and realism. Operation Flashpoint was brillant for it - you could be fightning under a clear sky and a few minutes later a storm comes and you could even see/hear the rain approach provided wind blew it your way of course. It even works on real time with a 24 hour cycle, had some pretty decent sunrise/sunset lighting as well and the fog was quite convincing.
