Frequency decay is dependent upon the wavelength of the signal:- the higher the wavelength, the shorter the distance over which it fades to zero, which is why you can always hear Barry's bass bins before what little mid range there is in the crap music he listens to.

It's also the reason why T-Mobile and Orange [1800mhz networks] require twice as many masts for full coverage as O2 and Vodafone [900mhz networks]

ApalLing indeed. Never mind, I suppose I should go and concentrate on the "kickball Europe Cup" instead of fuelling the fire futher. Perhaps Google might inform me as to what is.

I bought an S1 licence is early 2003, played the game for a while, went away and came back late last year to buy an S2 licence and have another go.

S1 was good way back when, S2 is better now, and S3 is still to come, and it seems to me that we're here for the long haul. Especially if the central core of the community continues to cement itself through this forum, regular online racing and social events like the karting trip which is coming up.

Even if it all does an emergency stop on me now, hell it's been more than worth the small amount of money it's cost me, many games have cost me more and given me less in every sense of the word. Kick back and enjoy it mate, we ain't going anywhere just yet.

There I was thinking it was just another AYB parody when the "O'rly...ya rly" sample kicks in. Not bad I suppose but the original AYB is still king.

You've got another game to pull it around, but to be fair if you're not going to have rely on other teams screwing up then you do need to beat the Italians by more than one goal.

Unfortunately I think that Brazil will win their group and the Czechs will win yours so that means even should the U.S.A come second in the group and qualify their first knockout game will be Brazil, which is a big ask.

The Americans don't have a bad team, it's just that they don't have a sorcerer type creative midfielder like the other real quality teams do, unfortunately that makes them a bit predictable and not that difficult to play against.

Take heart from the fact that you may well have lost 3-0 but you lost to what in my opinion is the best team I've seen so far, and that includes quite a few of the big names.

As long as you don't blatantly take the p*ss you can ride any train or that's heading in remotely the right direction, unless it's one that offers a different type of service to what's printed on your ticket.

P.M me before you buy a ticket I'm coming down from Derby too, I'll see if I can fix you a lift down, although I'm likely to be coming back on the Saturday night, so I doubt I can help you out on the way home.

Quote from Decibel :I have a suitable camera but no portable recording equipment. Is it of any use if I bring it along ?

If you have a bullet cam then hell yeah bring it

I've no doubt I can rustle up a handheld mini DV from somewhere, to plug it into.Please bring its cables, and if you have a microphone for it then please bring that too.

Cheers mate.

Uni's over for ever now mate, the degree show was last week. I dunno, I'm a bit "arted out" right now to be honest. Give me a week or so to relax and watch some football and I could probably get 'round to helping you.

Drop me a PM and I'll give you an e-mail address.

Also I'd suggest you register at Master Skinnerz and send me a P.M through that board or something. That way we don't clog up this board having a personal converstion with each other in what's actually not the right section for skin requests

Master Skinnerz link.

The Angry Angel posted this in the Linux server thread, I must admit it's news to me. but it would be worth checking since he seems to have pretty sound technical knowledge.

You need to open the following:
29339 TCP
63392 TCP and UDP

Yes, both TCP and UDP need to be used on the final port. LFS uses UDP to transfer car position, as its quicker.

The little kink on the back straight of Aston club, and the first chicane at Westhill with the tyre stacks.

Both for the same reason, they're something of a leap of faith and being quick through them requires you to turn in earlier than feels right at first, you have to trust that the kerb is giong to pop up where you expect it to. T2 at Westhill is another I enjoy, although there the turn in point doesn't feel quite as "wrong"

Right, got your new shot & it's much better, like I said I'll do something with it later, watching your team play football is today's priority...come on Holland!!

I take the nooblear missile for a spin occasionally, but only offline or if I'm on a server with just a couple of other people. The very few times I've tried to race it in a full field has resulted in more T1 carnage than a field full of foxes at SO classic.

Personally I find the FO8 to be a much more rewarding drive, the lack of traction control and the fact that it doesn't have mental brakes means you just can't go into a corner waaaaay too fast and rely on the car to pull you 'round it in quite the same way as you can in the Sauber.

There's a couple of tricks you can pull within LFS itself to improve your screenshots.

Get a high resolution version of the skin preferably 2048 pixels square [bigger doesn't make much difference] and use it for screenshots.

By which I don't just mean take the 1024 pixel skin and double its size, but actually
make a 2048 pixel version next time you make a skin.

Under the game options tab turn the skin compression off when you want to take screenshots I think that's in the game/misc section.

Any ideas what sort of "edit" you'd like?
I'll have a bash at it later, but I intend to watch the football first

Naaaah a format other than jpg is just gonna mean a bigger file.

PNG or TIFF would be better ones to use than bitmap... they just make the baby router cry.

If you've maxed your video card's settings then only increasing the screen resolution within LFS is going to give you a better quality [and bigger] shot BUT that's going to give you a frame rate hit, so it's just a question of balancing eye-candy and system performance.

I can see from your screen shot that you have AF set to 16x which will make a big difference. Unfortunately like most of the English I only speak English, so I have no clue wtf your windows screen grab is all about

As for screenshotting the game, well I just use the windows print screen function even though I have fraps installed.

If your screenshots are coming out as small as that then check the fraps settings to make sure that the software isn't setup to take screenshots at a specific [small] size.

LFS does not use the advanced features of your video card like Anti Aliasing or Anistropic filtering by default. You have to force it to do so by r/clicking on your desktop and opening the properties box, from there, click settings and advanced, which should get you into the control settings for your video card. My Radeon runs the catalyst control software which has a tab labelled 3D. underneath that is the settings I want to alter. The type of graphics card in your machine will determine what your options panel looks like.

Enabling AA and AF will give LFS a much smoother appearance, and enable you to grab a higher quality screenshot.

I'd guess that your host would need to install the dedicated server package for LFS onto the machine you're renting and ensure that port 63392 is open for the game to run through, and AFAIK that should be about it.

I'd suggest sending a PM to somebody like UK CTnet's Sam H or and asking since they have plenty of experience with LFS servers.

Unfortunately the bullet cam we were intending to use fell off the front of the Elise my mate failed to tape it to securely enough and went underneath it halfway around Donington. Needless to say it doesn't work very well any more.

It seems unlikely we can get another, so at this point the answer is probably not from us.
