Quote from MadCatX :

The best way of improving your FPS is to get nearly ANY graphics card with HVS support(Full DX 8.1 compilant). In my waaaaay old P3 1GHz does crappy GeForce FX 5200 pretty good job, no problem to get 50 fps on patch W.

Now you have to tell us how. *sorry for threadjack*. I have an P4 with 1.4 GHz and an Excalibur Radeon 9800 PRO, and 1GB SDRAM. I only get like 5 FPS with full starter field, 30 whem I am alone. I have all the stuff in my traybar that is not essentially needed (that is, everything except virus scanner and firewall) turned off, and also disabled all unneeded services running in the background.

In the attachments you find some screenshots of my current Graphics and Misc settings.

Before the release of the BF1 we got the "but who needs a minute?" teaser. It had a view of BL from above in a thick fog. If this was generated in game can we get fog enabled in the sim.

Racing in 50m visibility or less anyone

it is a photoshop.

Nope, I can still post.

err... wait... wrong picture...

Piss off and dont come back. We dont need your type round here.

*LMAO*

Welcome to the community deepcscuba. Finally, someone new here who does not troll the forums and ask for more cars, more tracks and better graphics in his first post. I think theres nothing more to say than

Welcome to S2, Welcome to this great community!

As I can see, you are german. Head over to the german reseller, www.live-for-speed.de. There you can also pay via bank transfer.

It's quite obviously FR = front, RE = rear, LE = left, RI = right.

you enlighted me^^ Thanks

got a bit of a problem with the pitstop flags. could someone explain them?

Quote from AndroidXP :

@St4Lk3R: Now, I don't know much about InSim, but how is the car name consistent throughout a connection lifetime? How has the car anything to do with identifying a player at all? As far as I understand, Scawen wants to shorten the full car name ("RaceAbout") to the short prefix used for skins ("RAC"), thus saving a few bytes to make space for other flags in the packet.

Sorry if I'm talking complete rubbish here, your answer just seemed odd to me

May really be that my answer IS complete rubbish. I just do not know what is meant by the term "skin prefix" so I guessed it's a unique prefix for every user. If I am mistaken, please correct me

Quote from Scawen :

No one has yet objected to what I said in this post :

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=366808#post366808

I am suggesting a change from 32 byte car name to a 4 byte car name (skin prefix) in the NPL and LAP packets, to allow some more space while leaving it nearly compatible with existing software.

I haven't really left much time for anyone to reply but I will get on with this this afternoon, because it's InSim day for me - I don't want to spend much longer on V3...

If I got you right, then the skin prefix should be something that is consistent all the time the racer is connected to the host or even consistent through the whole lifetime of the account. If it's like that, then I think it would be really REALLY useful to do the change, this makes life so much easier for developers

I now play LFS for about... wait... one year and a half altogether, and I am still totally impressed about it and cant imagine playing anything else. sounds pathetic, but its like that. And I think if nothing will go terribly wrong I will be one of the last men standing until the master server will finally and ultimately be shut down. I really love this sim, and it hurts me every time when I see a new flamer coming up on the forums, because I simply _know_ Scawen, Victor and Eric simply do not deserve the treatment they experience by some individuals on these forums.

Greetings, Stalker

I'd also like to participate

you want a programmer to publish his/her own work under the name of ZWR? that does in fact not sound like a good offer.

Or do you already have a programmer in your team and just want another one? then we can of course talk about it, but more informations would be very appreciated. Including:

• In what programming language did you program your (unfinished) tools until now?
  
• What do you think of as reward for the programmer? Webspace? Banners? Servers? Money?
  
• What InSim/OutSim tools do you want the programmer to write?
  

Thanks for answering in advance
Greets, Stalker

"doesn't work" is not a very well formulated error description... WHAT does not work? do you have problems editing the skin? or problems using it in lfs?

Hi there Scawen, nice to read from you again :>

Now out of the Forums and go back coding! :P

*jk*

I am addicted to LFS if I dont have any other things to do. I dont think LFS should affect your studies, that is definitively more important.

you can't. thats a security function to prevent cracking, and its good like it is. could it be that you or the STCC bronze server still have version U or a U-Testpatch lower than U30 running? this would explain it, because the master server's IP changed and Clients lower than U30 can't handle this.

shouldn't we make an own subforum containing all those license-begging threads, so we have something to laugh about at work?

or SO Sprint 1 and SO Sprint 2 :P

all the tracks you can see in the track selection menu, all the cars you can see in the car selection menu. there is no single-player mode, LFS is an _online_ racing simulator.

any FAST mirrors out there? The mirrors offered on this site simply are sooo damn slow...

Quote from Whykonen :

[...]Then they can earn a racing licence, and start racing against the adults on the normal servers. Also when they get better licenses, they can switch from the pink skin to serious skins, ending with a pink playboy skin

[/nonsensetalk]

wait... wasn't that called STCC?

Quote from the_angry_angel :

[...] So yes, MVC is A Good Thing(TM), but if you want something quick and lightweight, you seriously need to consider rolling your own atm

In essence, this is also what my opinion is right now. But I dont think magic code generators like ruby on rails are bad all in all. it can really help building a basic construct for php applications. but to be honest, I also dont like the solutions that are currently in the market... speaking of ruby, cake and others here. I think I would write my own if this really was needed.

On the other hand, I can see your point. It is useless to always generate code via a generator like ruby when you have a firm basic construct that you can build all your projects on. this construct may need some tweaking for each project, but basically is the same.
