could be any number of background tasks interfering.

Best solution is to install LFS on a clean partition with just windows and nothing else, save a firewall.

I'm not using a test patch though!

If LFS is windowed you always get hgher FPS

cool thanks!

I'm curretnly getting lots of messages regarding discarding unknow packets when I use TV Director on insim. Now I want to continue using it, but is there anyway to stop insim from reporting these errors so the text doesn't keep popping up in the top left corner?

Thanks

Thanks!

Really great - but when can we use it? and can you get it to work with your TV director tool at the same time, that would be cool.

I've not tested the patch myself... however I feel the false start system is good, but, it should give the driver a drive through penalty rather than a spectate or disquali. Also, untested, but in F1 a driver has to drive through within 3 laps of getting the penalty, this too should be in LFS (if it isn't already).

Good work.

Good couple of little programs there.

thanks

or what about a button you hold which changes it whilst the button is held.

So, if FPS is displayed for example, and set the hotkey to the INSERT key and hold it down, it changes to the time mode, until I release the key again. (and vice versa).

the link to download this on the first page is dead, can anyone upload/relink for me please?

both those links didn't work

+1 for me too - more tracks always good

I like having the FPS on screen, but, it would also be handy to have the time every now and then. How about a button which you can press whilst racing to switch them over?

Try its

or
[url]mms://58.158.161.235:8080[/url]
But its only 5 connections.

Couldn't get the Http address to work, but the MMS one did.

Quality is bit poor, lots of buffering, but the FPS when it is going is very smooth.

is the 5 connections limit due to peercast or another factor?

I hadn't managed to get peercast to work yet, think it's a port forwarding problem

Hi... it said Channel not found on Peercast.

I'm interested as I have been looking at Peercast myself recently.

Can I tell you exactly.... well no as to be honest, I spent a whole night fiddling to get it working, it's not an exact science. Luckily Fireball had previously setup the VPS using SSH already, I have only just started using SSH today.

But I can tell you roughly.

Two pc's
SvideoTV Out
TV card svideo in
NSVtools (mainly NSVcap)
VP6 plugins
shoutcast VPS server

Sorry for the delay.

I wanted to say thanks to Sören again for letting me use the director tool for OLFSLtv. I must report that it was great, and feedback was fantastic.

The only complaint, was that the onscreen display, car position etc, doesn't change along with the camera, e.g. switching to the director tool whilst looking at position 3, for the whole race, you only see the split times and position for whoever is in 3rd place at the time. but apart from that, everyone loved it.

6 hours of streaming with no problems.

I dont intend for this topic to continue, but I was asked if I was sure disabling Vsync lowered FPS. I tested again. Yes it does cause a huge drop, but only if Adaptive Anti Aisling is enabled. Great work, downloading V6 now.

Quote from Bob Smith :

60Hz refresh rate by any chance? It's a known problem with V-synch that if you can't meet the v-snch refresh rates in terms of FPS, then you can drop down to a fraction of it (in your case one third). I get this issue but only if I used temporal AA, no idea why.

I think I am using Temporal AA as well.... I read it was meant to be better, I'll have to switch it off and try again.
Yup switching TAA off worked a treat. Great work on the patch.

I tested out Vsync and this is what I got.

LFS in Window mode 77 fps with Vysnc enabled.
LFS in window mode 76 fps with Vsync disabled.

LFS Full Screen mode 41 fps with Vsync enabled.
LFS Full Screen mode 20 fps with Vsync disabled.
(very big and unplayable drop, interesting).

AMD 64 3700+, Radeon 9550pro, 1.5 gig ram. 2xAA enabled. 1440x900 resolution, Acer 19" widescreen monitor.

Hmmm...... I can't see how the drag effect can be disproven. I think maybe it's not as bad as made out originally perhaps?

Well I thought I got it to work okay, you load cam hack, then the tv director tool, you then go into the Shift U mode, and press Crtl Z or X to use cam hack. When you set a camera, the height is saved by the director tool. Obviously if next time cam hack isn't enabled when you try to use it and load the settings it wont work, as the director wont be able to achieve the heights.

Just out of interest Solar, do you keep track of the other things which can affect the fuel efficiency, such as, tyre pressure, windows open/closed, air intake/conditioning etc. From what I've read, over a month of use, they can change figures quite a deal.
