That is the strangest spelling of the word "Technical" I've ever seen.

Welcome to LFS.

Hmmm book rental service ... not a bad idea!!! lol @ that thread

Why won't they release it already? It's not like LFS is on the brink of being finished any time soon so it doesn't need to be perfect yet, so why not release it now, and make updates to it later, like they've done to the XFG for example. I just wanna drive the damn thing already!

Yea that thing uses variable resistors, the more you turn the knobs clockwise, the less resistance, so the higher the fan speed.

And w4h, I sort of agree with you, but for very low-power applications (such as a case fan) a variable resistor will do just fine. A pwm is overkill in this case, unless it's built into the motherboard and can control all the fans from a central location. That would be useful. But one for each fan? Overkill.

Probably a bug in the drivers I'm afraid.

You don't have sound through your HDMI output? Try setting the HDMI output as the default sound output in the sound control panel, under default devices.

How do you steer, do you simply move your body in the direction you want to steer?

Woot! Training for the 2010 Olympics are we? Nice. I've never been luging, how would one get started? I can't imagine actually getting on one of those sleds when I have no idea what I'm doing, I imagine it's very easy to crash.

There doesn't seem to be a shortage of textures for the VWS lol.

Or you can just buy a variable resistor and stick it in series with the connector. Problem solved.

These 4pin connectors you're describing, are they the ones which just plug in to the connectors coming out of the power supply? The ones with red, yellow wires on the sides, and two black wires in the middle?

A fan does not need 4 of those wires to work, a fan only needs 2 wires to work. Find the wires which it uses (probably the yellow (12V) wire and one of the black wires (ground)). Disconnect your fan's cable from the power cable. The red wire in the cable from the power supply has 5V in it, so take the black wire coming out of your fan's connector out and place it in line with where the red wire should be when connected. Now plug your fan back in and start your system. This will lower the voltage on your fan from 12V to 7V, and will make it spin much slower (quieter). Good luck.

That's some nice work there!

To answer your question, there is no way to get rid of that problem with the taillights. They are a fixed size, and you have to work with that entire space. The only way to make them not light up is to paint them black. Unfortunately, you can't use alpha layers for the interior textures in LFS. (I like the black R32, so it would be great if you can make a black skin for it.)

You have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting that job.

LOL that's awesome. Why don't I remember this? Was it fixed quickly or something? I always participate in the test patches...

Quote from bbman :If you and shiny_red_cobra knew anything about AA then you could tell that that's no AA problem (it's maxxed out in fact), but just the model that simply has no more polygons than that... :doh:

And if you had read this thread yesterday you would not be saying that to me. luathas replaced the pic, but he had one without AA and it looked like crap with the AA off. I know exactly what AA is, and yes I also know the tires are not perfectly round in LFS due to a lack of polygons. I was referring to the RIMS of the wheel. Do not accuse people when you have no idea what I was talking about. I hate when people do that.

Quote from PLAYAPIMP :im a total noob with computers and laptops

Does that address your concern TLTD? Would you tell this guy to open up his laptop and tear out the graphics card? I think not.

That looks amazing! But for the love of god turn up the AA!!!

Sounds like the screen just died. I would open it up and check the wires to the LCD, but don't do it if you're not familiar with computers.

You'll never be able to control it, not with LFS's crappy tire physics.

I suggest you put the updated file in your first post at the top of the thread so people find it easier.

My driving music is the sound from the engine. The volume varies, it always repeats, but it's never on random.
