In the past, I know extras have been given out but I don't know what criteria they look for when doing this. For all I know, they just flip a coin.

Have you tried the obvious yet?

Quote from Barroso :

im no expert but that option is to force lfs to use port 80 to connect to servers.

IIRC, it's used solely for unlocking purposes and not for connecting to game servers.

Quote from Breizh :

Considering they're a pain in the ass, isn't it worth reporting to [email protected]?

You could report them, but how do you know that the wreckers in question use cjb.net?

Quote from GTR_Yuni :

I think he was assuming the surface being driven at hand was tarmac.

So was I. You must live somewhere where all the roads are constantly swept clean of any dirt, sand and any other types of debris.

Quote from Whisper :

But doesn't bigger contact patch offer more grip? I thought that's why they used slicks for high-end racing.

Yes, but the hybrid tires and slicks are made out of different compounds with different grip characteristics.

Quote from Whisper :

The grooves on the tire surfaces are meant to maximize grip off road and help water escape from under the tire in the rain, if it weren't for that, all cars would have slicks, because more contact patch = more grip.

Not exactly. Don't you think that your traction would be compromised whenever you went over other items such as sand and dirt?

The time is now correct here.

SP2 in not the problem, some people just like to blame the OS when they have something configured improperly. Try setting your IP in LFS back to auto and make sure you're forwarding both the TCP and UDP ports.

Under the Date & Time options, how is "Automatically detect DST settings" supposed to work? We set our clocks back an hour last night and the forum time is now off an hour. It seems like it should've changed on its own.

Quote from Blue-Bomber :

The graphics card is a Geforce FX 5700, but like everything else in the PC, its identical hardware to when I was getting good framerates before.

How about your drivers? Even if they're the same, you may have had it set to deliver better performance before and better graphics now. I'd also take a look at any extra programs running in the background.

Your RAM, is it 1@1GB or 2@512MB each? If 2, I'd try running each one separately to see what happens.

but after a 2 year automotive course another 2 years mechanical apprenaticeship

Too bad you skipped all the english classes.

You may want to think about what you agreed to when joining these forums during your time off.

Quote from ruckus37 :

Ok see this is what makes LFS different to just about any offline/online game available, we can start a useless thread and have the… dev comment, please where can you find that interaction? LFS is better on just that ground>

Sooooo, you think that Scawen posting in this thread has somehow improved the gameplay of LFS on your computer? :nut:

I think descriptions like that have been in there for a couple of years now.

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Yesterday I started a thread, which I thought was reasonably well thought out, and reasonably polite. Note, I'm not so much angry about it being removed, but I would at least like an explaination as to why it was closed/hidden/moved to another location.

I saw the thread and decided to leave it be while I went out for a quick bite to eat. Upon returning, it was up to 3+ pages and not much more than a mud slinging spamfest. That's why it was moved.

Quote from L(Oo)ney :

But this is a GAME, not real life.

There should be an option to turn it off if you don't want it on.

LFS is advertised as a SIMULATOR, not a game. Until it can be turned off in real life, it shouldn't be simulated in LFS.

Quote from kcd-clan :

I asked at 10 in morning and waited a fue hours.
ass wipe.

Errr, you're not very patient are you. Afterall, your very 1st post here was only 4-1/2 hours ago. :rolleyes:

Quote from XCNuse :

they dont have to be thin or so to pop, you can pop your tires in any normal conditions... just like in life

Under normal conditions, a tire shouldn't pop.

Quote from Forbin :

Where do you see that?

Click on your name and it'll be the last number in the link.

This is pretty damn freaky. I'm the 48th member. According to the transaction details, I was also the 48th person to buy S1 when it 1st came out... :hide:

When viewing something such as the main S2 Hotlaps page with all the world record holders, it seems to take too long. From what I can see happening, it looks like every single flag is loaded individually for the world record holders list. I'm far from a coding expert, but wouldn't it be possible to load a flag once and use the same image for every instance of that flag on a page? If so, perhaps there are other pages that could be tweaked to lower the page load time and also the server load.

It seems as if the instant e-mail notification is a bit overactive, I seem to be getting one for every new post in a thread. All that's really necessary is to receive one after leaving the forums. Otherwise, if there are 23 replies to a thread you'd get 23 e-mails. It just seems like a waist of resources to me.

If you enter the image when using the "enter image" box thingy, it works.

Edit: Make that it only works in thread preview. :doh:

Does anyone read agreements and stuff before clicking accept? If I didn't accept I would have logged on :fryingpan:

Errrrr, nope.

Quote from KiDCoDEa :

and man your post jumping on the narrowness of the other dude mind is rsc tripping...

AFAIK, I'm still the only mod listed here. If someone's going to say it's a bad choice to use RSC mods, it's pretty obvious they're talking specifically about me. C'mon, I can't respond to that?

Quote from KiDCoDEa :

and if u hide behind rules like a blind robot i pity you more than anything. u are so fast at saying to others to expand their minds how about you start doing stuff that u believe in, then?

I don't really understand this. I hold no ill feelings towards any member. What makes you think I have a closed mind?

Quote :

dont tell me u accepted the status here without knowing what u have to execute?

bad start

I know the rules here but I still don't see how it's a bad start. Would you prefer if I lied and said I hated everyone who broke a rule at RSC?

Really, I couldn't care less who's done what and where they did it.
