Holding a mobile phone whilst driving is illegal over here. Infact, somone was prosecuted for eating a chocolate bar whilst driving over here. Seems crap, that people are still allowed to smoke and drive though, inconsistant rules, grrrrr.

Some good racing on redline, but I agree with blackout, too much extra spam in the top left corner

I realised that after I posted, but how did you recognise it anyway, you play too much LFS my friend!

Here's mine, and that was only after one crash too!

if this game was sold in the shops, it would either have to have a filter or have a warning about the risk, many games with a chat feature have a warning in the text files somewhere to cover themselves.

non rendering bug happened again, just at the start of a race, possibly gfx card overheating, but don't think so

We at OLFSL will be having two live streams every race weekend next season. However we will be using tv capture cards rather than a mod that enables output ingame, but it works quite well without any of the programming bother!

all working ok now, apart from the wheel/dashboard gfx on the FO8 FOX and BF1. Maybe the tex have been deleted, but I tried on a new copy so dunno.

My drivers not changed since last week and the gfx were there then.

It's not too bad without it though!

One thing, if you do look at my attachments above, the gfx with no rendering. I wondered if it is actually possible to force the game to do what happend to me, if so, I'd imagine the FPS would be fantastic without all the extra detail to draw.

Well the steering wheel display problem is still happening, although the lack of rendering problem has not happened after rolling back to u20.

The funny thing is, I remember the other day, the display was working on U20 and I have not updated drivers or anything.

this time the FOX and complete and total lack of rendering or graphics.

weird cos last night the only bug I had was the car display, not these big gfx problems.

Nothing has changed but the patch lol.

I had patch U20 installed before yesterday.

Anyhay new bugs today just when i went to get the screenshot you asked for.

Anyway in these pictures you can see some weird graphic problems, as well as the lask of BF1 display

Since I installed the latest test patch, the display of my FOX and BF1 are missing. I can see the pit limiter sprite, and two lines of the speed/rev bar, and also when you press the hazard light buttons, also the traction control. But none of the actual text or anything is showing, just a black empty box. It was fine before the new patch.

Thanks for all your comments, very interesting.

Yup my comment about lots of WR's was just an example really, but was just refering to the top lfs drivers.

Although I like the idea of as many people joining as possible, even the slow ones (like me) - we would need many divisions in this league, I was thinking one top class league like in Formula One for example.

The only other way I can think of that could incorporate everyone would be a tournament knockout style, like the football world cup (that could be quite fun actually) progressing to quater finals, semi finals and the final itself.

My names Johnathan Russ, from The Original LFS League.

Been windering for a few months if any of you top racers out there would be interested in a new league. With REAL money as a prize for the top 3 finishers.

It would only be open to the very best LFS drivers (so you'll need lots of World Records) and be willing to pay an entry fee.

With real prize money, I'm sure there will be publicity etc.

Your thoughts on the idea please.

Best wishes

I've got a 19" widescreen and use 1440 x 900 on LFS. It's groovy!

I think there was a box to press somewhere that said 'show widescreen modes'

we have a 1.0 litre micra, but most of the figures look similar enough, pherhaps a bit higher, nothing major.

I didn't think of the emmisions side, I'll have to look into it more but the car must have a better system after it burns the fuel not to create as much emmision, which is good.

On the other hand, if the plug charging idea took off then that could make the demand for elecetrity grow, this could be bad depending on how the electricity is sourced but that argument goes on.

A yes, Solar and Hydro, I didn't realise up to now, but yes that is clever

I can see what you mean about if people didn't buy the hybrids the technology wouldn't evolve, but they're just too expensive for mass market.

If they can produce a proper hybrid city car, then that would be it.

Over here the smaller cars, Micras, Ford Ka's, New BMW MINI, etc are in great numbers, a hybrid of this size and similar price would see the market share rise.

Hi Solar,

Am interested in the Fuel Econmy of the prius, what was the manafacturer estimate of the MPG usage?

So it looks like you're getting 57 Imperal MPG, obviously this is a biggish car and if it were the petrol only alternative would be much higher.

We have a nissan micra profile 1.0 litre, which from reports online ranges from 45 to 60 MPG, so probably similar in reality.

Of course this is a smaller car (petrol only), and less powerful, but it still goes over 100MPH and as such as a road car is fast enough.

I am just surprised that the hybrid technology isn't that efficient, it seems good when you compare it to it's identical road car class, but there are petrol only cars out there which are more economic and fuel efficient. If everyone had one of these, cheaper cars we would certainly meet the emmisions standars the world is aiming for currently, and would be more likely as these cars are more affordable to a mass range of people.

Hybrid/Eco cars are great, but most people will choose cheaper cars (petrol) over them unless they can balance out the expenses.

However, I do aprove of the efforts of Hybrid cars, but I don't see the need to jump from a petrol only car which is pretty much identical in MPG to a hybrid car. I think hydrogen powered cars are the real answer
