Hey, I resemble that remark!

Nice one Tristan... Welcome to LFS faster111.... I hope you sort out your GFX card glitches soon

I haven't raced S2 much since the alpha was released, I must admit, (into doing setups myself, and having the goal-posts moved regularly by frequent physics changes makes any knowledge gained pointless)
I've never considered myself a fast racer, (on rally cross I used to cut quite a dash though )

I find myself sorta put off by the eliteism and find that as a 'newbie' again, LFS is probably losing interest as a result of this sort of attitude.

I visit this forum more regularly than I race and sometimes doubt whether I will take up the wheel again when eventually S2 proper is released.


Vic still owes me a pint though so I might lurk till then lol

Dont see the point to be honest, its a forum, I come here to read and reply, pictures dont mean much to me (here).

....Remember the meet up? "Skizz? WTF? ......" "you know, Murray Walker!" "aaaah yeah!"

I'd be interested to come along again,last time was great fun. Miight depend on the 'where' more this time, it was quite a long way... midlands perhaps?

Quote from Scawen :

You mean the credits?

There was no purpose for them, since a long time ago, when they were used to unlock cars.

We need a much better career mode, if anything, not just simply points based, but based on training, racing, considering the type of cars, something a bit more like reality.

And yes there was a disadvantage with having the credits, because Victor often got messages in his technical support email, by users asking if they could use their credits to upgrade their car with neon lights, etc.

lol sarcy git hehe

Just tried to find your host.... no luck

Congratulations Scawen n Geraldine, Let me buy you another pint :drink:

Great find kid, glad I always make a point of reading your posts

IMHO, it's probably time to get rid of the option to buy S1, mainly to avoid this sort of disappointment

He seems to have a pretty comprehensive CV though Fordie.

Happy Birthday Scawen
I think next time we meet I'll buy you a whole pint lol

Quote from Woz :

If anything a fresnel lens is actually BETTER for your eyes because you focus length is nearer to infinity and so your eyes are under far less strain than being sat in front of a CRT with your eyes locked at 20-30".

Quite... and I use one. much less eye strain

Damned shame... so young
RIP Richard

Thanks guys, will investigate
I would post pics of the lens setup but that's been packed away due to an impending house move

I use a cheapo fresnel lens with my setup and it really is a fantastic way of allowing a higher FOV setting and greater immersion.
after reading some of these links, I'm seriously thinking about getting a couple of those 'high res' F550's and using my old monitor for a dual monitor setup..

Anybody successfully had a radeon 9800pro (or any radeon, I s'pose) running LFS across 2 monitors, or is it only Nvidia cards that can be used this way?

Lancia Delta... Supercharger AND turbo.....
...NICE!

Bob, that track layout is really great, shame the MRT makes it seem so small... any chance you've got an MRT setup that even slightly resembles the karts we were using?

I've tried myself, but using a locked diff and rear only braking, I still end up with a set that either ploughs into the wall with understeer or spins rediculously on gas or brake...

I don't think that any LFS settings could get my MOMO to produce the sort of forces we coped with that day...lol

MOMO blisters
