Quote from dougie-lampkin :

My 7 year old Dell gets average 50 FPS with full AA/AF with stock hardware config. With 2GB RAM and a slightly better processor (3Ghz as opposed to 2.4) it averages 100. And it's only a standard Dimension. Dell do make good PCs, but just not very often

But yea, you need a new PC really. To upgrade the graphics card (PCI isn't really a viable option. It's an improvement, but in a few months that will be too outdated again), you'd need to get a new motherboard, and then you'd most likely have to get a new processor and RAM. Which is almost a new PC And of course, the new motherboard probably won't fit in the case, as the old Dells used weird sizes. Looking at a Google pic of the case, it's almost the same as my old Dell, apart from the front panel. My new motherboard doesn't fit in the Dell

Dont get me wrong, the old Dells ... especially my old Dell (Dimension 8250)... i had upgraded the PSU and ran an X800 and a gig of ram (that friggin pricey RAMBUS ram too... since thats what it reqd) ... it got a steady 60fps in most games of the time...Had a CRT then so i was only running 1280x1024 (i think) no AA or AF cause it choked it a little, but i was still pretty pleased with it...

But the stuff they're coming out with now... is just laughable. They're using BTX even after Intel abandoned the architecture (albeit BTX has very good thermal benefits).... The power supplies are not enough to run any of today's decent video cards... not to mention you actually have to hack and slash at the case internals in order to fit anything larger than a 9800pro into it since the cpu cooler is the size of a city block. They were still using DDR-500 last time I checked... and most of the time they are shipping systems with 5400rpm SATA hard drives by default (unless you pick something else).... pathetically slow drives... (I have a 5400rpm SATA drive as a backup mirror of my main drive and it is noticeably slower than a 7200rpm drive at loading just about anything.)... anyways that's my rant about Dell.. take it as you please

EDIT: OMG I just noticed his video card only supports directx 7 :ices_rofl
oh ya you need to buy a new pc.

Dell - There's your problem.
The crap hardware they ship with their new PC's is good for playing Bejeweled if your lucky.

DFGT is a good choice over the DFP... kinda feels like a plastic g25, minus clutch and h-shifter.. lol

Drugs have NO PLACE in LFS. This is not GTA IV!!

LOL indeed

wow... that video is just... BAD

great attitude

Quote from dirty8_2005 :

I admit I'm slow with a 113:88 lap time but if you are quicker then I will defend my line cleanly and fairly. But if you start bumping me then no matter how fast a driver you are you will always be a poor racer!! Fast don't mean nothing if you aren't a clean driver. So next time you are behind a slower guy look for an opportunity to get through instead of pushing the slow guy in front off the track. That's not racing!! Just look at some F1 races in Monaco where the faster guy is stuck behind a slower car but on the same racing lap, the faster guy doesn't push him off he either finds a gap through without crashing or waits for the pit stops.

So stop bumping us and find your way through!!!

If you are blocking drivers unnecessarily (making more than one move off the racing line) anyone will get quite fed up being behind you, so you can pretty much guarantee that they will move you. This would happen in the real world too... if you were blocking me unnecessarily (and im sure there are plenty of others here who'd agree) I'd be sure to give you a good bump or spin you out... since blocking unnecessarily is just as unsportsmanlike.

If the driver behind you is faster, it's not a free ticket to continuously block them.

You wont be able to race online using a single license.... You can only race with each other in a local network game.

If you get a second license, you can both be online together

@AMB... sad man.. sad.

ROFL at these stupid threads... so sad.

lol........ they are not even defined.....

have you tried defining them as false first, like this?


And why is bankchaseinprogress an INT value when it could be a boolean?

WILL YOU ALL JUST STFU?
You all look like a bunch of immature twats arguing about crap like this... seriously.

Im sorry, but you have no place on a track right now. You are basically rushing to meet the Sept test date and you don't even know some of the most basic of driving maneuvers. You are a hazard. Thinking that a game is going to help you is not correct. LFS, as good as it is, doesnt simulate G forces, doesn't allow you to truely feel the car and its limits and there is the element of fear -- which is completely thrown out the window when playing a game.

Stop saying you can't find some piece of tarmac to go practice on, because you can if you really want to.

Again, based on everything that I've read in this thread... you are nowhere near ready to be on a track... and honestly, if an instructor does let you (*shudders*) is a complete tool and shouldn't be teaching

It really all just comes down to this... you are not mature enough to be driving a race car. End of story.
Park that Mini and come back to it when your older.

Quote from iunno :

the FBM feels a bit weird to me, its as if it has oversteer but power understeer.

meh...

might want to cool the attitude next time if you expect ppl to help you...

Quote from Quint999 :

its truly horrible, ive gone back to the rookie solstice for a week at Lime Rock i found it that frustrating

Jefferson suggests to me a dangerous relic long since abandoned

Jefferson Course is a great track once you get it down. If you don't even give it a chance, or give yourself a chance to learn it properly... of course it's going to suck.

Easily possible to get 59's there.

I find this thread pretty laughable...

I seem to remember a time where you begging for help in the Programming/Insim area, Sun..... and hmm... what were you trying to make??? Exactly what you are complaining about here...

What a hypocrite....

Quote from Jamesisinthehouse12 :

it doesn't even refresh once

i never said that was supposed to refresh anything... that was an example of what you should use setTimeout for...

im no javascript expert... but that looks like it would only show the correct page after 60 seconds... and after which it would not refresh.
setTimeout is usually used to delay execution on a particular part of a script rather than refreshing.

such as:

is a snip from a web page i made that has a 'Please Wait' overlay. That code hides it after 1.5 seconds.

I thought I already tried that tho...
oh well, will try again

Yeah was giving you more detail rather than letting you search google

here you go

Put this code in the HEAD section of your HTML code:


refreshes the page every 60 seconds.

Put this line in your code like this:


Just dont add the <<<<<====== INSERTED CODE part :P
