not according to the 4 posts above yours Danny!

Whats upset you Danny for you to make such a sweeping general statement?

We were all demo players at some point, nothing wrong with that

SD.

I think the load cell mod does that itself?

If you need to or want to only use say half pedal travel, you can repeat the calibration but start with the pedal you only want to use half of, in the fully depressed position, then while calibrating just lift it half way then push it back to the floor, after you click the lock button you will be able to depress and release and see the axis indicator will only start giving brake or gas at the half way point.

I sometimes use this method to set up my throttle when I have that lazy right foot resulting in dogey downchanges under braking

SD.

When in the axis/ff menu click "recalibrate axis" then move pedals and wheel lock to lock or full travel then back again, then click "lock"

all done

Good luck

SD.

Does it strike anyone else that , Jwardy and Jedwood sound remarkably similar

sorry for bothering u guys

Its not that you are bothering anyone lol

Its just that we see, or have seen alot of "begging threads" before, I suppose the moment some kind people on this forum gave a few licences away, either as a competition prize, or because they were drunk there have been a number of these type of threads.

We all live in the real world (most of the time) and everyone has a different perspective to "poverty" however IMO if you need to beg for a computer game, on an online forum (you need a PC and internet conn at the least/maybe just a mobile phone nowerdays) then you should be smart enough to realise, most people are going to say "pay yourself"

Good to hear your Dad is going to get it for you I hope you enjoy S2 and all it offers, try an online race or cruise server when your sick with drifting you might like it

good luck.

Hi and welcome to the forums

Have a browse around in the beginners section for some good tips on car control etc

General "hello" posts usually go here

SD.

Welcome to the forums

SD.

sell your broken xbox on ebay?
wash some cars?
sweep some drives?
good luck.

SD.

"/cars GTR" is also the same as "/cars FXR+XRR+FZR" just less typing

Quote from only.one.RydeR :

I wonder why LFS is so harsh on CPUs. No matter. At least I can race online with a lot less lag.

The high CPU load in LFS comes from the realtime physics calculations.

May I ask are you running LFS as is or have you added any 3rd party texture packs?
what GFX card and CPU etc does your PC have and what gfx driver revision are you using?

from your first post it looks to me you are talking about FPS?
there are some things you can do to increase fps without loosing too much visual quality.

good luck

SD.

You may need to go into windows game controller properties, through the windows control panel and you should/might be able to seperate the axis under advanced properties. (if you use the wingman profiler you can also access it from that)

Also in LFS you should see the option to combine/seperate axis in the list above where you set the axis up.

You need to have both set to seperate in order to get the gas and brake indipendant from each other.

Some wheels do not allow seperate axis, I'm not 100% sure about yours tho

Good luck.

Hi Welcome to the forums

Have you read the lfs manual found here...... http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Options#Wheel.2FJoystick

you can click the picture on the right hand side for an animation on how to do it.

If your still having trouble please post again.

Good luck

Hi 5point

Please give us some info on how you connect to the internet, speed of your conn, and how many other PC's connected to your LAN.

do you or anyone on your LAN use P2P software, this is the most common cause of laggy conns, but it could be many things maybe a dodgy cable?

let us know what you have ruled out, so check things like is a virus scan running in the background on your PC? or another program accessing the internet when this happens to you.

good luck.

SD.

LOL I feel a fool right now

thanks for the corrections I take it all back

I happened to click straight through to the screenshots page, I didn't remember that these 5 ss were from the lazer scanning 3d points with colour, as I already read that some weeks/months ago.

Please disregard this thread

SD.

I don't think the "raw data" is in the form of a jpg but you could be right.

looks like messed up jpeg compression to me, funny how its only on those 5 shots.

SD.

EDIT: Vari, only IE Ill try ff and safari now

EDIT: Not a bug please disregard.

Hi I have just noticed 5 of the latest batch of screen shots at lfs.net display very badly when clicked and opened, example below...

check your cables and hardware (router?)
could also be an overheating issue, a filter/z blocker issue, people working/digging up the street or road near you, or maybe you have installed a new phone somewhere in your house?
a new user on your network maybe stealing bandwith?
installed any new programs like P2P etc?


could be a number of things try to think of what has changed about the same time or just before the problem started to occur.

good luck

SD.

because we love the project and want it to continue, and understand the reason its being developed the way it is?

No pressure to buy, just people wanting to share the fully licensed experience maybe?


SD.

Some programs like mp3rocket leave processes running even when you close the program, open the task manager (ctrl+ alt+del) and click on the processes tab then look at the list or take a ss and post it here, we might get an idea from the processes and amount of them whats going on.

good luck

SD.

I wonder how hard it would be for LFS tech to run an introduce a friend promotion? where for every "friend" you introduce to LFS (friend must use the link you send to buy S1 or S2 licence) you are credited with say 1000 HRes skin downloads.

just a thought

on topic, 1 voucher bought for another and 5 people that I know, have gone on to buy S2 after being shown replays on my PC.

SD.

perhaps one of those things you have running could be your problem, you can right click and choose close on any of the processes in the task manager, maybe by manually closing one by one you can fiind the process that is causing problems, I think I used to run with about 12 essential processes on my XP

also any chance of testing another cable from the pc to the cable modem? just incase your current one is on the blink?

good luck.

Ahhh I see ty Amp, you really should stick to one thread GripDriver

you mention in the other thread, that you, your family and next door share one internet connection, could it be possible that your neighbors are using alot of bandwith?

You could/should ask next door what programs they are using and when (some people leave p2p (pier to pier) programs on 24/7 and p2p really hogs bandwith and most ISP will detect p2p and throttle your line.
P2P are the programs used to download music and films and files from others.

Do some investigating yourself, go to your router and disconnect everyone except the wire to your PC reboot it (router and PC), then test LFS with only your PC on the network.

Check your processes, run AV scans and spyware scans, make sure all your drivers are up to date ect ect.

good luck

Quote from RubenI :

Theres some things here in startup, i don't know what is:

RTHDCPL
ALCMTR

Both processes belonging to Realtek , feel free to disable them both, it will cause no negative impact.

Hi

You have neglected to post any information about how you connect to the internet, 14.4K dialup? ADSL? Cable? T1?

Aslo post as much information about the problem as you can, does it happen all the time? on what servers?

do you have other programms running? (like P2P) have you done any ping testing?

whats your hardware specs and what OS are you running?

does this happen in just LFS? or other games /apps?

please give as much detail as you can to help us find, and advise on your problems.

SD.

Well, that looks like a few too many processes if you ask me

I think the best way to sort this is for you to click start, then run,
type msconfig in the text box, this will bring up the system configuration utility, click startup tab at the top, and then click disable all (this is completely reversable and will prevent all of the programs that you see in your taskbar and some you don't from starting when you start your PC.

this should make your pc feel a little more responsive and snappy, and should also cure your lag/break problem.

the downside to this method is you may want some of the programs to run at startup, this is easy to do, just pop a check against the ones you know you want in the msconfig window or start them manually, but it should point you in the right direction so to speak.

Good luck

SD.
