Beat you Bob


hehe

What view do you use ? you could try Shift F it toggles all info on off the screen,

F9-F12 work but some keyboards have a F-Lock key that can disable the Fkeys

I also have the same sticker Vykos has just on a worse car

Quote from Davo :

You can usually spot the people on wireless as they're the ones warping around everywhere. Once minute beside you next second 10m infront.

Thats the people that are running their P2P alongside LFS

Wireless can be affected by so many things that use the same freqency its crazy to think that gaming will not be problematic at some time or another, however poor patch cables or structured wiring can have their faults aswell

DmWright ; I think your problem probably falls at the door of your ISP (sky) but using a wired link will let you rule out one thing and may help to some degree.
Do sky supply a router? if so check its firmware is up to date and all the settings are correct (MTU WEP ect) it could be your neighbour is stealing your bandwith

who else in your house uses the conn? sibling P2P'er?

Good luck.

Hey all, just a small question.

I had a search on the STCC forum but couldn't find what I wanted and I dont think you have run BL1 the normal way in STCC league yet, have you?

anyway my question: Whats the official STCC stance on cutting the exit from the chicaine onto the main straight, I have seen many drivers with 4 wheels to the right of the white line here, right hand wheels on the mud and left wheels way up the kerb. Ive seen some go through the tyres here too this may be HLVC legal but is it STCC legal?


I am of the opinion that 2 wheels must remain on or inside the white line at all times unless there is a specific "runoff" or tarmac area outside the lines and at this turn there is no such runoff.

I get the feeling some drivers consider it OK to "cut" here as "everyone does it" and "look at the WR" is often brought up when challenged.

Sorry for my long post I would attach a screeny or replay however I am sure there is no need.

when doing some overclocking last year I found 256 to be my limit (256Mb card coincidentially ) but LFS dosent like overclocking much

my fps is anywhere between 50 & 200 (6xAA, 16xAF Full Trilinear, hi res skys and shine mod 1024 x 768 @32bpp)

I am saving for a 24" LCD so I can run LFS at an obscene resolution and this will probablt hit my fps a little

I didn't intend to make a big deal out of it lol, it was just an observation

SD.

when you reinstalled his system, did you download all the motherboard drivers for his exact chipset? from the makers site?

Do other games or benchmarks run ok?

Quote from JasonJ :

Where's Zeeaq's post gone? I was wondering how he got an Avatar too. It was a picture of the word Drift in cursive.. and it definately said : Demo Racer

Its number 11 in this thread

SD.

ISP problems aside I wouldn't even consider trying to play any online games using wireless, its just not stable enough (unless you can eliminate all of the things that interfere with it and theres alot including neighbours)

If you are serious about your racing then run a cable.

Do you have other progs running? I am not suggesting for 1 moment you run P2P software but it still surprises me how many people expect LFS and P2P to run side by side without problems


SD.

I can't remember any of the demo servers its been so long since i went there

@Zeeaq how have you managed to be a demo player and yet you have avatar? I thought you had to get a licence to have an avatar?

I dont think E-bay/Paypal allow hotmail as a valid e-mail address anymore, however IIRC I think the LFS automated system works fine for hotmail, its just that hotmail's spam filters filter out the mails and junk them into the spam folder. I wouldn't recomend using Hotmail for anything improtant tho it seems very unsecure to me.

When in the calibration screen give the cables a wiggle I have found the logi cables inner cores are really thin and prone to breakages, if you find you get spiking when you wiggle the cable or the plug then you might be able to set the cables a certain way to prevent this during your race , however if it gets bad like mine did, it will need rewiring.

Could it also be a sticky pot? maybe but I doubt it

@Zippy almost all logitech pedals can be seperate you just need to go to windows control panel,game controllers, properties, advanced, and uncheck combined.

@Gabbo If you pedal is physically getting stuck half way, all I can suggest is to open you pedals up again and move the spring from the brake pedal over to the gas (removing the gas spring completely), then get a squashball and put it in the little circle where the brake pedal used to be, use some tape to keep it there,then reassemble. The squashball mod will give you a better brake feel and the old brake spring should keep your gas pedal working.

Dont forget to go into LFS and recalibrate all axis and then lock before testing.

If I have read it wrong and your HW is moving fine but the output is getting stuck half way (not the pedal) then it sounds to me like you have a damaged cable or plug.

Hope this helps

I dont think the Devs would do anything as silly as send anyones bank details (especially by e-mail) even if they had acess to them (In most cases they don't)

If you just need your bank details, just phone your banks customer line and explain ...they will ask you a few questions about you and your account and should, after security verification, tell you anything you need to know

Yes 2.1Gh is way to fast for the 2400.. I would reduce it to stock asap,

Sounds like classic overheating symptoms too..

I think if nothing in your SW has changed recently, and your PCs been running fine for ages before the problem started, is probably, as Joen stated temprature related. Specifically CPU temp, have you had the side off and checked your fans and fins are free from dust and fluff?

If you know what you are doing, it might be worth renewing the thermal compound in between your cpu and Hsink, dont attempt this unless you know the risks.

Quote from Bob Smith :

we seriously need improved lighting in here. And less corners.

Yeah... I have some fuses out at the moment, the lighting levels will be back to normal shortly

As for the corners I here someone is due to start rounding soon
