It would be nice if there were a single thread where all of the known cockpits are listed. So... I figured I'd start one!

If you have any cockpits to add, use the following format and I'll add it to the list:

Format:
Website - Cockpit name - Cost (Currency) - Things it includes besides chassis - Other info (i.e. cannot fit 3 pedals, no LCD mount, etc)

If any item is not known, just use "???". If someone has a better format let me know If you have any experience with the product, feel free to write a brief review. I posted a few to get us started.

Entry: Technique - Technique - ALL

I just bought S2 Dec 23. I played S1 a good amount a long time ago - mainly blackwood with the rwd non-turbo car. I never played in any leagues so I figured this would be a good start

I just started using a wheel as well - I used to use the mouse.

I'd prefer #22.

I'm interested. I used to play a ton pre-s1 with the mouse on blackwood (XR mainly). I did play S1 for a bit (even joined a team) but I mainly stuck to blackwood/XR/demo.

I don't remember the last time I played - maybe a year or more (?) but I'm pretty awful now. I just purchased S2 last week. Nearly all the cars/tracks are new to me.

Thanks guys

Hi all, I haven't played this game for a long time. I may build a new machine for LFS and it will also serve as a software dev machine.

I was looking into the Quad Core Q6600 with 2+GB memory. I'm guessing LFS will only take advantage of a single core - does anyone know if that particular processor is fast enough to handle a full AI grid with atleast 60fps?

As far as the video card, LFS is probably going to be the only game I play so my only requirements are two DVI out ports. Which video card can handle LFS currently with max settings (with a little extra power to handle any visual updates that may happen in S3)? I currently have two 20.1" 1600x1200 LCD monitors and I'm guessing the game will look best at the LCD's native resolution (this is my first time using LCD's for gaming )

Thanks
